NioCorp Developments Ltd (NB) Options

LMAO so you have nothing like the rest of retail.

Stay positive? How about be realistic for once. You really should stop saying shit like that because you have no fucking idea. Every time you open your mouth something you say does not happen at all. I'm going to start calling you Walter Wagner.

Let's stay positive, progress will be delivered in 2025 including a mutch higher market capitalisation
Happy thoughts to anyone 

Each one of them still got more than I own, after sticking it out for 12 years.

Disgusting.

All I have left is my NO votes

Everyone got their annual options right before Christmas and the total granted was less than half of last year's. 800k total vs 1.625 million. Good for 5 years at a strike price of a $1.40.

Not if they like to ski !

In fact I had completly missed the fact that the Bureau of Mines was shut down a few administration ago.

Nice find djacob69 Thanks

I will not disagree with your points but I do know that he traveled the world for this company and bought a ton of shares. He was compensated well but it has not turned out the way he thought.There are a couple posters here that spent a few days with him in 2017 in Colorado and were convinced something was coming.

I can see the large debt lender pulling out of a deal and leading him on but I still want to know where the other bidders were. That is a mystery to all of us. Who introduced him to GX is another head scratcher. I tried to emphasize to him that these guys were bad news but I think Niocorp was on fumes at that point.

2024 watershed year is another puzzling statement after all the missed timelines. The EX-IM deal seems to be stuck in the mud. I do not communicate with the company anymore and am guessing I will not again. Maybe take a position for a trade if the opportunity presents itself because money never sleeps. Thought Nio would make me wealthy but that has gone by the wayside.

Happy New Year and good luck to mostly everyone here in 2025.

I don’t believe Mark is the stand up guy he portrayed himself to investors. He clearly has not been transparent with investors about the project. There are several instances and this is just a snapshot.

1) Financing is imminent - What happened? Mark has never explained what happened to investors about this imminent financing that never occurred.

2) There is a lot of competitive tension between lenders - It’s been years of without any significant financing. He keeps the lights on with predatory lenders and small private placements that continue to dilute the hell out of initial investor’s holdings.

3) Mark Smith presented the GXII deal to investors as a great opportunity for us and to have access up to $285 million in capital. The deal cost us dearly with massive dilution, giving majority ownership of the company to the new BODs. Mark has yet to be transparent with investors regarding this massive failure and not having ANY protections in place to prevent investors from being fleeced in the deal.

4) We were led to believe that the EXIM financing was progressing very well. We end up finding out at the end of the Railveyor presentation during the Q&A, that EXIM is requiring additional drilling of the resource that is expected to take another 9 months.

No, I do not think Mark Smith a nice guy. His actions and lack of actions speak volumes.

When does everything come due on our debt after we shoved everything off? How much does our next dilutive loan shark deal need to be to keep the tip of the company's nose above water? What are the bonuses this year 🤔?

I guess you have not followed the postings here. I do not believe Mark is a scammer in the least. It does not mean that I will follow someone blindly if there are long delays and timelines that are not being met. I was out long ago, jumped back in briefly and then took a loss and have not purchased since.

You seem to dislike everyone you come into contact with. Tough way to go through life.

Why do you post on stock. You said that you sold it off nine months ago.

Mark is a liar and a scamster ego maniac. You have been lied to for over a decade but you still suck the pipe????

Mark is a very nice guy. He got hoodwinked by lender A and also the middleman in the merger. He was not the only one in that regard.
Not sure why he said that 2024 would be a watershed year. That may have been to keep the stock price higher. I do admit though his credibility is shot. Very tough to find someone to replace him as he owns a good amount of shares and is tied at the hip with those maggots from GX.

Nothing easy about investing in pink sheet stocks. I have another one in the same boat as Niocorp. Even though they both moved up in stature with the move to the NAS, both have been brutal on share price. Maybe 2025 is the year for both. Who the hell knows.

Would be a complete waste of your time and money. I have no fu@king idea who you, he,she, they, them or anyone else is.

Mark Smith never fails to disappoint

What I do know! I’m down over 70% of my combined share price, much like several other people here. I’m mad as fu@k and I think Mark Smith is an awful businessman……but hey, financing is imminent and 2024 will be a watershed year.

I may attend the AG meeting just to see if DOA (aka MNGA) and Truth and Tranny are the same person or not.... they's always posting back to back within minutes.........regardless of what time of day or night it is....finishing each other's sentences..... same bashing philosophy and idealogy....... uncanny,,,, hmmmm maybe I will buy you airline tickets DOA/Tranny? should i buy 1 or 2 tickets? and should i buy one or two Elk Creek Whiskey shots? maybe i buy one for your ego and 1 for your alterego (if you are the SAME PERSON).. .... ok maybe we need Sigmund psycho-analytic techniques by Freud or BF Skinner to visit Elk Creek to sort all of this same persona or 2 different persona(s) vexing shit out...... just sayin' ........

Okayyyyyyy LFG NB!! no more excuses.... need you to ENGAGE and start chopping wood and MINERALS and ELEMENTS (referencing the xmas card**) in '25 (G-zussss, didn't we say that in '22 and '23 and '24 Too!!) Hope springs ETERNAL!!
Make us proud to be shareholders of Niocorp.... enough of this feeling like monkeys in a barrel.....and idiots waiting in 9 month increments over and over and over.... rinse, repeat, re friggin' rinse and re freakin repeat..... blah blah F'n blah.........
All this DOD and EXIM Money and Orange Man saying let's fukkkin' rebuild these supply lines cuz it is National Security- CRITICAL for God's sake....... Could the Virtual MINING PLANETS be lined up any more perfectly!!?? The TIME to strike is NOW, the Window is open.... The GUB'MENT has seen the light and is putting wind at our back instead of their usual Regulations that kick miners in the NUTZ......... Sometimes a company just needs to EXECUTE.... and that time is NOW.... 2025!!!

May the Mining Gods be with us in '2025 and Beyond....
Happy HOLIDAZE!!!!!
Yaddda Yadda.... and Blah Blah Blah...

If there ever was a time we were going to succeed, it is this year. I hope this geopolitical climate and government talk is not just smoke.

I have a hard time believing anyone will attend the meeting. The weather in Colorado in early March might be the best weapon they have to keep investors away.

If it was not required I'm sure they would not put themselves through the teeth grinding agony. They will come up with a nice deck of slides, people will leave the meeting more optimistic than ever, and then we will be under $3 (0.30 pre asscheek-split) in July. Normal.

It seems to me that April 1st would be more appropriate. We’ve been fools for over a decade.

Why even have the meeting at this point. 2024 AGM at the end of 1st qtr. 2025.

I really hope we will get an update on the new FS and EXIM before the AGM. I mean it is plenty of time until March 13th anyway

Word on the street is Niocorp executives have been busy hiring locals to run barbed wire around the perimeter of the facility footprint and they are removing some tree stumps. Can’t confirm this for fact, but sounds like financing is imminent. MARK SMITH NEVER FAILS TO DISAPPOINT!

Oh Jesus here we go again... 🙈
looks like a sac of 12 sided die. Everyone can have a roll as to what occurs this year. 😅
SPRIG no OMG SPRING!! Everyone get out your secret decoder rings. They come taped to the bottom of your el pollo loco order!

Any thought on the day of the week?

Prelude to AGM?
Other?

I can’t say it doesn’t disappoint me to see Santa Claus with a sack that says 2025

Certainly looks like a watershed up there in the background! 😁

I received that email from Jim as well.  My first thought; I sure hope that 2025 sack is full of niobium, scandium, and RE rich nuggets rather than lumps of coal!  Merry Christmas to all that read this board, especially the longs. 

Seasons Greetings and Best Wishes for a Fantastic 2025!

Yes, it is akin to the hand-off from Tiberius to Caligula, in Roman Historical terms.

Congratulations.

Thank you for digging these up. Cheers!!!

The Department of Defense announced today a $26.4 million award via the Defense Production Act Investments (DPAI) program to Global Advanced Metals USA, Inc. (GAM) to enable the domestic production of high-purity niobium oxide at GAM's Boyertown, Pennsylvania facilities. Sept. 20, 2024

https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3606819/dod-awards-234-million-to-expand-domestic-capability-to-upcycle-scrap-material/
The Department of Defense today announced award of $23.4 million via the Defense Production Act Investment (DPAI) Program to 6k Additive, LLC to expand capability to upcycle waste and scrap material for conversion into higher grade metals for use in defense and commercial supply chains. 12/5/2023
The award will enable 6K Additive to execute facility renovation, equipment acquisition and installation, and engineering. This will result in production capacity for high-grade metals to include titanium, niobium, nickel, and tungsten. These metals are used in alloys for aircraft structural components, turbine engine blades, rocket engines, radar systems, and many other key defense applications.

Thanks for sharing. I couldn't find anything in the document of where the Gov invested in Niobium Oxide. I'm curious what they put money into related to this.

Agree, the administration did a lot of talk, but didn't do much get mining in USA moving.

No doubt Gman!

The outgoing administration clearly had little interest in domestic mining despite the obvious need. Hopefully 2025 will be better. Thanks to all who voted for a new way forward!

I get it, but a wholly owned subsidiary and NioCorp are not the same entity. I don’t know what our UK entity needs to disclose other than financials at their financial year end.

If it was a branch of NioCorp it would be immediate disclosures. But it’s not

NioCorp’s Role in Project Pivot

NioCorp is working closely with the collaborative and will, among other things, be providing aluminum-scandium master alloy for the group’s research and prototype parts development efforts.
In response to the UK funding announcement, Mark A. Smith, CEO and Executive Chairman of NioCorp, said: “NioCorp is proud to be a supporting member of Project Pivot and to be working with Aston Martin, Jaguar Land Rover, Sarginsons, and other automotive industry leaders in this revolutionary effort to design lightweight cast automotive components that unlock the value of scandium by enabling greater use of lower-cost recycled aluminum in these platforms.”

https://www.niocorp.com/industry-consortium-with-aston-martin-sarginsons-boeing-uk-niocorp-and-others-wins-uk-government-funding/

They do PRs for hypothetical sources of income 5 or more years down the line, rare earth recycling for example. If they had ANYTHING remotely positive to report about their current situation they would.

They did disclose they are supplying Scandium to the Pivot research. .

I’m sure they don’t have to disclose every business transaction they do or get payed for. But I assume getting paid for R&D and Alloys is not the same as achieving major funding.

Extremely Wishful thinking on my part

If it was happening it would be easy to find proof because the company would have disclosed it.

Of course I don’t know or have any type of proof but the DD that I have done suggests to me that there is funding from both, the UK Government, and members of Pivot to the ongoing research.

NioCorp is a member of Pivot and is not in a position to fund anything but NioCorp is supplying Scandium Alloy to the project. I am assuming NioCorp is a payee for its contribution to the project among the many Payers.

Just a guess

🤷🏼‍♂️

Huh? We aren't being funded by anyone except loan sharks. What do you mean? Do you think they are a potential financier? We can speculate about them for a while before they become another vapor in the board history. 😅

We do have a circle-jerk going in centennial with a PIVOT man though.

I think we are being funded through PIVOT, originally formed by Altair and Sarginsons.

With no news, we continue to languish below $3 regardless of what season it is. Then, if they come out with some dbag say nothing do nothing news release, or just announce more dilution, we go down further. I just hope we stay above $1 until something positive happens.

Since Limbo, seems to be the realm we are in.
Any guess what happens technically the last 5 “full” trading days to end of trading/tax-loss year?

Regardless of what happens I’m looking forward to it.

Tiny But Vital Metal Markets Rush to Adjust to Chinese Clampdown

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tiny-vital-metal-markets-rush-133000810.html

Well, you don’t need to worry about those capital gains as long as Mark Smith as at the helm. He let the vermin in the house and it up to the shareholders to exterminate the rats

You have to pay 6% on the value of your portfolio as it stands year to year, every year indeed. 36% capital tax which than added to your income tax and charged with 49% in the highest bracket.
This system is favorable for shares exceeding the 6% threshold, like an explosion in Niocorp shares ! lol. Anyway the current system is under review.
