Dan’s chart

thanks Daniel D.


A lot to digest
https://stockcharts.com/sc3/ui/?s=NB

Flag, Golden Cross, long legged Doji, below 20 DMA but above $2.20 support.

Should see volume pick up with market sentiment. (Pos or neg)

Probably will not hear much about the cyber incident. They disclosed it and that's the end of it. Exim moved a little bit into some more waiting and analysis, and we are still broke except for some dilutive can kicking. The cyber incident is the very least of our worries. Unfortunately, I see the cyber incident as another excuse later if they need one.

Bigger question, does RPMGLobal need the FS to complete their independent review? One would think that would be pretty important documentation to have during that process. I'm sure "they do not" until quietly "they do". Can that be funded yet and by who?

Again, as usual, we seem to be the Rodney Dangerfield of the mining industry....as 'We get no respect'... probably due to the way Molycorp was walked away from during Bankruptcy 10+ yrs. ago and the NB shareholders might be paying for that.... without even knowing about the history on that one.....
Still 'Radio Silence' from the IR office...... as usual, NB shareholders are left to wonder and reset the '9 month clock' after the last PR regarding changing out upper level mgmt. at EXIM a few weeks ago...... how will that affect NB? How will the possible Ukraine elements affect NB's future? where are we at with the changing landscape???

Sure would be nice to know if any other work is going on in advance of getting financing for the FS publishing phase of the project...... or does the clock 'restart once they drop some financing on us... and then NB still needs to start from scratch on the DD and extra drilling?? or is the extra drilling requirement off the table now with new EXIM Executive Mgmt....??? why are we always in the dark? it's like we are in the bottom of the mine shaft with no lights on and wondering when the next RaiVeyor car is going to come by??? mushroom land...... Let's go Mr. Simms, give us some updates, is anybody doing anything back at Centennial Hdqtrs.? or just watching Jerry Springer reruns during each day and waiting for the financing to get ENGAGED!!???

ARGH.......

Mining for Defense: Unlocking the Potential for U.S.-Canada Collaboration on Critical Minerals
Published February 18, 2025

https://www.csis.org/analysis/mining-defense

In-depth brief talks about niobium at length. rare earths, scandium, neodymium, praseodymium, mining, processing, refining, recycling, problems with financing small projects, etc. etc.
While this mostly focuses on projects in Canada, and and even mentions a couple of projects still in exploration (Aley Project, Mactung Project), it does mention the Jervois cobalt mine in Idaho and the TempiuteTungsten Mine and Mill in Nevada, but no mention of Nebraska or NioCorp despite niobium being mentioned 22 times.

Sounds like a great plan! Unfortunately, the project is currently an open field and the money keeps blowing by.

https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3700059/dod-looks-to-establish-mine-to-magnet-supply-chain-for-rare-earth-materials/
Since 2020, DOD has awarded more than $439 million to establish domestic rare earth element supply chains. This includes separating and refining rare earth elements mined in the U.S., as well as developing downstream stateside processes needed to convert those refined materials into metals and then magnets.
https://www.energy.gov/fecm/articles/doe-invests-over-32-million-increase-efficiency-us-critical-minerals-production
With the selections announced today, FECM has committed an estimated $254 million since January 2021 for projects that support critical minerals and materials exploration, resource identification, production, and processing in traditional mining and fossil fuel-producing communities across the country. ?

https://3dprint.com/316398/iperionx-lands-47-1m-from-dod-for-titanium-3d-printing-powders/
IperionX, the Charlotte-based supplier of critical mineral powders used for additive manufacturing (AM), has been awarded a $47.1 million contract from the US Department of Defense (DoD) in a competitive bid to provide titanium to the US defense industrial base (DIB). Over a two-year period, the DoD and IperionX will fund a two-phase development program with up to $70.7 million, with IperionX providing the remainder of the investment.

In Phase 1 of the project, the US government will contribute $5 million, while the company will provide $1 million, to perform feasibility studies related to IperionX’s Titan Project, a critical minerals operation in west Tennessee. As of August, 2023, IperionX has received all necessary permits to move forward with the Titan Project, which the company claims is “the largest JORC-compliant resource of titanium and rare earth rich mineral sands in the U.S.”

Ah constituency. Yes it's pretty friendly here. I was born 39km from elk creek. I can be in elk creek in an hour from where I live. The people and area are friendly to the project. Unfortunately the constituency is the only risk free aspect of this project. The company describing this as "de-risked" was irresponsible.

My interest of investing on NB / NIOBM. Increased a lot ever since I read an article from China about niobium silicon metals which were very much related to their lab tests on space ship.

The metal is light and can resist very high temperatures. It is rumored that China has innovations on super hypersonic unmanned alrplsne or advanced missiles normal radar can’t find.

Niobium is going to be expensive commodity soon.

Your question will bring out the trolls! I think a perfect 10 year storm of any number of issues (management? covid? banking crises [plural]? objections to domestic mining?, initial lack of political will and funding mechanisms?, commodity prices? failed SPAC deal, China influence? slow pace of gov't to change laws and allow for domestic financing? Ukraine war?, technology changes? etc.?), but hopefully 2025 will see resolution to many of these, AND financing for this project. As other have said, if it doesn't happen this year, it may never happen.

The Mineral Wars - How Ukraine’s Critical Minerals Will Fuel Future Geopolitical Rivalries
In 2017, during the first Trump Administration, the U.S. encouraged energy and mining companies to invest in Ukraine as part of broader efforts to strengthen Ukraine’s energy independence and open new markets for American firms. These initiatives were designed to stimulate Ukraine’s economic recovery while reducing Europe’s reliance on Russian-controlled resources.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-officials-us-owning-half-ukraine-rare-earth-minerals-rcna192325
Trump officials pitch Zelenskyy on U.S. owning 50% of Ukraine's rare earth minerals
The Trump administration has suggested to Ukraine that the United States be granted 50% ownership of the country’s rare earth minerals, and signaled an openness to deploying American troops there to guard them if there’s a deal with Russia to end the war, according to four U.S. officials.

https://wapo.st/3D0lhGs
What the Budapest Memorandum means for the U.S. on Ukraine
The reality is much murkier. The agreement is not an official treaty. It is neither legally binding nor does it carry an enforcement mechanism. And while it provides security assurances, they do not include specific promises with regard to a potential invasion.

US control of a substantial portion would also likely eliminate any possibility that China or Russia could ultimately buy (or take) them down the road, and would probably add considerable long-term US investment from gov't and private sources.

Regarding mob-like strongarm tactics - like this?

Ukraine, Greenland, et al. will have ZERO effect on Niocorp. Niocorp and Elk Creek are not commercially viable - it is not a feasible mine plan, which is why it is not, and will not be, financed. Further, Elk Creek is unlikely to be mined by anyone, certainly not anytime within the lives of anyone alive today plus 21 years. This is why it was so cheap to lease. And it would be cheap to renew the leases, because there is no interest among the real commercial miners in Elk Creek.

So relax. Whatever happens in the world outside of Elk Creek regarding rare earths or semi-rare element mining will have exactly no impact on the non-business of Niocorp, the sole business of which is printing and selling shares.

The Belgians loose their munny investing in low-quality USA stocks, as usual, and Mark Smith retires with the bundle of loot he has skimmed from promulgating this goofy story grift.

No bigg deal. There are many pennyturds just like Niobagg. This turd will be forgotten soon enough. The fundamental, intrinsic value of Niocorp is zero; it is not even close to being a financeable, commercially-viable project. It makes about as much commercial sense as planning to drill for oil on Molokai or Maui.

If you were to ask Jim Sims he would say, The More the Merrier.

Personally speaking the More the Merrier has done nothing for shareholders because when we were the only ones shovel ready, my shares were worth 10 x what they are now.

So I would hope Trumps wishes for owning Ukraine’s, Greenland’s, and Canada’s rare earth minerals will be submerged and only to be seen or heard of again in WalterC’s best selling novel.

If he finally does gets something right, before he destroys all of the United States wealth and sends them and the rest of the world into a 30’s style depression. Things might work out for NioCorp after all.

Maybe we should contact the Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen and see if he wants to be a Canadian Provincial Premier

I have had in the past multiple meetings with Mark,Jim, and Peter. Also met the whole management team at a private dinner 8 years ago. Seems like yesterday. Lot of enthusiasm for the project but things turned sour when no debt partner appeared after we were assured of multiple tension. GX coming into the picture was the final straw for some of us. Niocorp dropped the ball major league and a lot of investors got taken to the cleaners.

If I decide to get back into the stock, it will be for a trade only. Niocorp gave out hints they would be in production close to a decade ago. I have no idea who they were listening to. Big swing and a miss.

Not arguing with you, but they are well within the existing regulation for timing of the meeting. Hard to argue with that.

I looked back at previous inauguration years and seems that EXIM board meetings continued even after the change of administration, so watching for activity. Last meeting was 1/8.

USA, New Jersey- According to Market Research Intellect, the global Niobium Wire market in the Internet, Communication and Technology category is projected to witness significant growth from 2025 to 2032. Market dynamics, technological advancements, and evolving consumer demand are expected to drive expansion during this period.
The growing use of niobium wire across several sectors-including aerospace, medical, and electronics-drives the market largely. Aerospace components and high-temperature applications find it perfect because of its great strength, light weight, and strong oxidation resistance. Another major influence is the medical field since niobium's biocompatibility qualifies for surgical tools and implants. Furthermore generating interest in high-purity niobium wire are the growing need for superconducting materials, especially in MRI machines, particle accelerators, and quantum computers. The conductivity and corrosion resistance of niobium promote applications in capacitors and semiconductor components, therefore benefiting the electronics sector as well. Increasing investments in materials science and modern production help to drive creativity in goods derived from niobium. Driven by technical developments and industrial demand, the niobium wire market is likely to keep growing as durable, high-performance materials for important uses take front stage.

Niobium’s role in meeting the global demand for energy
Feb 19, 2025 #steel #Niobium


The global demand for energy is projected to grow by 47% by 2050. While oil and gas will remain essential, renewable energy sources are expected to make up 27% of the energy mix by 2025. To meet this increasing demand, energy infrastructure must evolve, focusing on safety, security, efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.🌍

An important component of this transition is high-performance materials like Niobium. This video explores how Niobium-enhanced steels are playing an important role in transforming energy infrastructure in areas such as:

1.Pipeline transport: Niobium strengthens and toughens steels, allowing pipelines to carry more oil and gas. This enhancement enables pipelines to operate safely in challenging environments and extends their service life.🛢

2.Power generation: Niobium improves the efficiency of thermal power plants by enhancing steam turbine performance, reducing CO2 emissions, and increasing resistance to high temperatures and oxidation. 💨

3.Wind power: Niobium reinforces the structural steels used in wind turbine towers, facilitating the construction of higher structures that increase efficiency, lower material costs, and ensure a longer service life. 🏗

From power plants to pipelines, Niobium is essential for building a sustainable and resilient energy future. Discover the impact of Niobium in the energy sector and how this element is supporting the transition to cleaner energy.

Failure is what Mark gravitates to. He puts all his eggs in the basket with a financier who would provide imminent financing. That failed miserably with no B, C, D, or E options for financing.

Mark went on to an even bigger failure with the GXII merger. It cost shareholders hundreds of millions in market cap loss and massive equity in the company for NOTHING.

Mark Smith never fails to disappoint. I don’t know how a businessman can fail so miserably at being a businessman.
