NioCorp Developments Ltd (NB) News

Reddit was having some weird issues today and at times couldn’t even get to the site. Clear your cache and reboot and see if that helps. Seems to be working now.

I lost it all. No conversations anymore. They are all gone. When I try to message it says I have no internet. But it’s only on Reddit as all my other internet works as I’m obviously here. Haha

So no back and forth until I figure it out.
I didn’t get your message. And I lost contact list.

Putz, I been sick for a few days but I have not seen any issues.
I sent you a message the other day on reddit.

Yah, that one!!

Are those alternative facts?

You think I’m (not your words)dumb?
You should look in the mirror a time or two,
Make it a concave mirror and admire how big your head is.

You would think after 10+ years you would get a life, instead of wanting in Mine Life.

It wasn’t all doom and gloom coming from you, you had some good pumps on this board.
If you can’t remember which ones ask me.

Remember when your buddy over at Excelsior got upset with you, and you got mad at me for, bringing him into it?
And then Walter said to you,
**well what did you expect?**

What did you expect? Huh?

How is that son of the gun Shawn anyway?
His Copper is slumping but that’s the government too right? LoL

And then there’s the Australian one that got away,
It was worth so valuable and was such a great deal to buy shares, but stupid people like me couldn’t figure out how to have two going concerns. The owners decided they couldn’t afford to keep it any longer so they sold it for peanuts to Rio Tinto.

Walter has hurt so many people. Shameless douchbag..Just for his ego.

You mean the unfinancible one? The one that needs welfare because it’s so weak and used fake inputs that fooled noone except a bunch of bozo retail investors? Rub a rabbits foot. Buy a lotto ticket. The chances here are slim to none.

NioCorp’s existing Feasibility Study shows full ore production at month 45 of the Elk Creek Project. In contrast, according to the Optimize study, the new twin ramp scenario could achieve full production at month 40, a savings of 5 months, due to the simplification of pre-development construction activities.

The presumed timing window to "First Metal" appears to be closing quickly (if it's not already), and we're still who-knows-how-long away from "Authorization to Proceed."

Regarding exercising warrants, is a cashless option off the table? (#116017)

Richard-or-Chico, What’s going on with Reddit issues? eom

I’m not sure how much RailVeyor will shorten that Timeline.
But both Mark and Scott did say it would, but they didn’t say by how much.

I am just going by memory, which is fading fast. lol

Me Too!!!!!
It's perplexing to me how the United States gives billions of dollars to Israel and Ukraine instead of fast tracking a robust domestic rare earth supply chain.

The warrants expire 3/17/2028

NEgoodlife Post#99303
Exercise price of $11.50 per warrant yields 1.1183 shares, thus price per share is $10.284.

The Project timeline is based on First Metal 42 months after Authorization to Proceed, plus an additional four months of ramp-up to 100% of production capacity for a total project schedule lasting 45 months.

We are now under 40 months remaining until 3/17/2028.

Always do your own due diligence.

Said it here before: I trust our federal government
will do the right things with regard to rare earths supplies and microchips manufacturings. No.1 positions on military and economy at stakes.

Yes X, your last paragraph fits in my situation. Last month interest payouts from Fidelity and Schwab money market funds were closer to 5%.

Your guess is as good as mine. There is no actionable information available to us on the issue. Estimations can be made pertaining to the current state of the USA government's approach to critical minerals. In the last year there have been a growing number of statements made towards the need for domestic supplies. The rhetoric is there, but the urgency and currency$$ are not. Lots of bipartisan support, though.

Here is a 100% AI generated political speech generated in 10 seconds that is almost identical to the sentiments we hear 😆:

https://www.writecream.com/ai-political-speech-generator/ ("funding the niocorp mine in johnson county NE")

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed members of the community, and fellow citizens of Johnson County, Today, I stand before you not just as a representative, but as a passionate advocate for the future of our community—our families, our children, and the generations yet to come. We are at a pivotal moment in our county’s journey, a moment that demands courage, vision, and action. I want to talk about an opportunity that can transform our economy, create jobs, and strengthen the very fabric of our community: the funding of the Niocorp mine here in Johnson County, Nebraska. For too long, we have witnessed the steady decline of industries that once thrived in our region. Families have struggled, young people have left to seek opportunities elsewhere, and our local businesses have faced daunting challenges. But today, we have the chance to change that narrative. The Niocorp mine represents not just a project, but a promise—a promise of economic revitalization, job creation, and sustainable growth. Investing in the Niocorp mine will bring well-paying jobs to our community. It will provide opportunities for skilled workers and support local businesses that rely on the mining industry’s success. Every new job created means more families can thrive, more homes can be built, and more children can grow up knowing that they have a bright future right here in Johnson County. Furthermore, this project aligns with our commitment to sustainable development. Niocorp's focus on environmentally responsible mining practices shows that we can harness our natural resources while protecting our precious environment. We must embrace innovation and sustainability as we move forward, ensuring that our actions today do not compromise the world we leave for tomorrow. But to realize this vision, we need your support. This is not just a decision for policymakers; it is a decision for every member of our community. I urge you to join me in advocating for the necessary funding for the Niocorp mine. Let us raise our voices together, reach out to our state representatives, and demonstrate that Johnson County is ready for progress. Let us stand united in our pursuit of a brighter future—one that empowers our community, fuels our economy, and fosters a spirit of resilience. Together, we can turn this opportunity into reality. Together, we can build a stronger Johnson County. Thank you, and let’s get to work!

Why has the EXIM Bank financing been pending for over a year, when NB only has a paltry amount of funds to sustain their operations?
It's perplexing to me how the United States gives billions of dollars to Israel and Ukraine instead of fast tracking a robust domestic rare earth supply chain.

No offense TH but that would take loaning 9,000,000 shares of LWLG.

I would guess that you own 180,000 shares of LWLG that would yield you $423 per month on $.5 Million if they stayed on loan every day. But the damage done by that would reduce your price in the shares owned by you.

$20k per month would mean that you are loaning about $25 Million Dollars to them.

Good Luck guys I looked overhear for the first time in a long time, hope to see many of you cats in May.

X Unless you are talking about bank interest from dough you made on selling LWLG a few years ago?
$20k x 12 moonths= $240k per year At 4% interest that would be a $6 Million dollar note, Perhaps that is what you meant. If so good for you, taxes though, IRMAA etc. all digs into that return, no long term cap gains, but proly best for you at your advanced age. In Californina that is Proly a 50% haircut, Tax free bond?

Wholly unknown. You would have to research both tickers and see how you feel about each one. Everyone here is in the dark as to what is really occuring between NB and EXIM. All hush hush NDA you know. Forward looking statements boilerplate of course just in case someone gets the wrong idea.

There seems to be a lot of similarities between ARRNF and NB. Do you think ARRNF will face the same difficulties as NB in regards to EXIM Bank financing?

NIOBW is warrants and NB is Shares

Buy NB Shares unless you have $11:00 per warrant to exercise if it happens.

Unless you think we are going to be getting news before the end of the year, I would wait in case we get hit by sellers for taxation purposes.

IMO, The reason warrants are so cheap is the market thinks it is unlikely the share price will rise to the occasion ($11) in time to exercise.

Our 52 week low would be my bet if tax selling occurs. $1.22
But some think I’m a pessimist

JMO

Both are a terrible idea until you see something move that is actual news. NIOBW are warrants so if anything, buy those because you can see if this is going to work out to some degree. Then you can buy the shares at the warrant price and make money if they are above that.

NB is just common shares. You might get a bump here and there to penny flip (please don't), but I would not go near NB shares at this time. Watch the news and read the last couple years of news releases. Get in if you feel positive.

What is the difference between NIOBW and NB?
Which is better for a starter position?

Most of that is to service existing debt. Mark's, and the bridge loan from April being paid off leaves money enough to keep the lights on for a few months.

Pls buy unlimited shares otherwise shortseller will win the game 

Lender A turned out to be a joke. No other lenders stepped to the plate. The company relied on a middle entity to get them funding thru a merger with a fleabag outfit. The company did not do enough DD before realizing they were fleeced. The pretty lady new to the BOD saw the train wreck coming after the merger and bailed immediately. Over 19 months later. the stock is in the abyss. Did I miss something?

Its fun for wealthy people to gamble with money that they don't need. Nobody cares. Have fun.

The EXIM loan is not even close. We have not performed the needed drilling and analysis they assigned us. We can hope that some of the money they just raised will actually be used towards EXIM progress instead of just paying salaries and the light bill. Do not hold your breath.

Interest payments?

I am drawing close to $20,000 monthly interest payments from LWLG stock sales, so I gamble some $ for NIOBW.

Who knows if ExIm loan is secured?

Love your optimism and positivity considering financing was imminent 5 years ago. From what you’re stating, we missed our window of opportunity. We all believed in what Mark was saying about this amazing deposit, but he’s now ten years in without any significant financing. These little payday loans to keep the lights on is not the work of a veteran mining businessman.

I think we can all agree that no one here expected to get rich over night. Many here are ten years in and have less than what we started with. We invested when there were many more inherent risks involved. Why are we at decade lows when the project is derisked at this point?!?! I think that it says more about institutional investor’s lack of confidence in our management, than it does about the ore body.

It appears we were lied to about imminent financing and competitive tension between lenders. Every day we wake up hoping that this has all been a bad dream, but it’s not.

The watershed year has not happened. Meanwhile, the boys in Centennial are all collecting some very nice salaries and bonuses while 99% of us are in the red.

I would rather put a stink bid in on some options. The warrants are garbage at this juncture.

Th, what exactly caused NioCorp warrants to drop 50% in 1 day?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts grunt.

Hello Greg:

My opinion of the project has not changed.
Anything I write today would be just a repetition of what I have posted in the past.

Mother Nature placed this incredible deposit at Elk Creek. It seems to be the proper time for humanity to utilize it.

The prices for our elements, is down from their highs. It is common for commodities to have high fluctuations, so that is not a problem.

From my own experience obtaining funds for this type of a project, at this time, seems to be a tough nut to crack. I will continue to pursue whatever is available to me to help this project to fruition.

Have a great day.

Good to hear from you grunt23!!!

This is a great question for the AGM: Since the GXII merger, retail investors have watched hundreds of millions in market cap loss. What was the benefit to investors to give up so much equity in the company to the BODs Dean Kehler and Jay Bloom?

Yes. I have an order at .02.

Just for the fun of it. At this time not worth more than that.

Have fun

TH- Gosh..... for 150 Warrants one can buy a Happy Meal! yeeee hawwwww....
Back to sleep ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Wake me up in a quarter/year if something happens......

NIOBW suddenly dropped to $0.10 this morning. Any interest in buying some?

I bet we don't hear a word about it. There is some money now (for now) so its probably just going to renew.

I guess we will a update on the open land lease starting December. 

The rest will be 2025

So long

Agreed, no way they're doing the town hall right now and that's the only way they'd face any tough questions. I'll send some, but I guarantee they won't be addressed at the AGM.

There is no such thing as tough questions. The AGM will be the same as the other AGMs. Why do people think they are on some kind of hot seat? They have no reason to care about tough questions. There are no repercussions. Nobody is getting fired or replaced. Vague boilerplate BS incoming. People will, once again, be more confident than ever.

WTF, the institutional investors have less than 5% of the company now. You would think with all these conferences, symposiums and meeting that Mark has traveled the globe the past year would have resulted in some institutional buying. Can’t wait to hear the AGM. Management better be prepared to answer some tough questions!

Is it actually sellable? If nobody wants to deal with it the "billions" in the ground drops to zero $ immediately.

Gives me the jitters. 😬

There is a huge if here. This isn't looking good.

"IF at all possible" Remember that cute little line?

I guess not if but when

Another one get a financing source..

The tell on Mark Smith’s lying is that his lips are moving.

So sad to see what has happened over the past 2 years since the SPAC tragedy. Mark Smith never fails to disappoint.

Mark Smith NEVER FAILS to disappoint!

Financing is imminent!

2025 is going to be a “watershed” year.
