"Quantum aims to be the solution for America's strategic and critical niobium needs for the domestic steel and aviation industry. Niobium is crucial in high strength steel for bridges and buildings, oil and gas pipelines, stainless steel, MRI machines, wind turbines, jet thrusters, automobiles and more."... Regarding gas pipelines...lots of natural gas here... more and more pipelines are needed. Once enough pipelines are in place it is expected btw the US will be shipping Europe more natural gas then Europe produces.

Walterc, it's helpful to have input from those in the industry. I certainly am not knowledgeable about the steel industry in Europe, but I think the specialty high strength steel which is produced using Niobium has a bright outlook. Whether it is for pipeline construction, wind turbines, bridges, aerospace and potentially automotive we are potentially looking at a continued need for producing the high strength steel that makes Niobium a valuable commodity and QREDF a good investment.

Thanks for your contributions to the board. Any other insights from your investment broker about QREDF are most welcome.

Walter from my DD there is plenty of Niobium. But there are only a few mines working and selling it. Keeps prices high and certain countries could buy out some mines, no? Then prices could be set to be way over value.
