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.

Ppta heading to 1.0 billion


We are fighting with 50 million

👀👀 Funny both waiting for Exim decision 

That's crazy! In Germany we pay 25% on the profit when we sell. This is paid directly by the bank. Losses are offset.

Calling annual meetings

133 (1) The directors of a corporation shall call an annual meeting of shareholders

(a) not later than eighteen months after the corporation comes into existence; and

(b) subsequently, not later than fifteen months after holding the last preceding annual meeting but no later than six months after the end of the corporation’s preceding financial year.

NioCorps financial year end
is June 30.
Unless of course that has changed.

Just so I understand.

If you invest $100,000 on stock Ten years ago would you have to pay 6% on $100,000 every year? Even if the price of the stock goes down? Or would you have to pay 6% on the value of your portfolio as it stands year to year, every year?

Use $100,000 as an example with a 10% declining value yearly.

What if you are a terrible investor and all of your stocks go bankrupt but your original investment were never sold?

Surely they can’t assume 6% on zero, Just because your original investment was $100,000

Understand, No here you pay even taxes if you don’t sell, They assume a yearly appreciation of 6% of your portfolio and they tax that with 36%, Fortunately the court has told the government that this is theft of private property and that they are only allowed to real and not fictional tax capital gains. The tax office is now eagerly seeking possibilities to put such a new system in motion and have been postponing decision for implementation meanwhile to 2029.

Unfortunately, we will have punishment until actual relevant positive news is released that directly states positive progress by this company. Until then it is below $3. I just hope it stays above $1 until that happens.

You only pay taxes when you sell @ a profit, and if I had known a few years ago what I now know, I would have saved all the taxes I paid transferring my cash account shares over to my Tax free account by waiting until now.

Because right now I’m at or below my average cost.

I wonder if Mark Smith will reimburse me for the Taxes I paid due to his embellished forward-looking statements?

as if. roflmao

🤷🏼‍♂️

My taxes are paid on the value of my total portfolio between Jan 1, 2024 and 1 Jan, 2025, This year there nothing to pay, barring unforeseen positive surprises. Pity the taxman doesn’t give any refund. You pay or you pay nothing.

Agree but, we have another week of punishment to endure.

Tax loss season is the only benefit for me now. And it’s not even for claiming a taxation loss. LoL

I can’t wait for 2024 to end.

I predict 2025 to be a “WATERSHED YEAR”. Imagine if you will……:Niocorp stock will have a SP of $3.00 by the end of 2025!

That would be over a whopping 100% return from where we are today! How many of us would STILL be in the red?!?! Mark Smith, you need to give the reigns up!!!!

Wow that's a very convincing paragraph! All you have to do is replace 2025 with any of the last 10 years and insert the price at that time and it would be the exact same message barfed over and over at the end of every year. 🤣🤣

That is the most vague, repeated line of bullshit that gets regurgitated here at the end of every year. They aren't even trying anymore! Better buy up these low prices.... YET AGAIN! 🤷‍♂️🤣

Niocorp a stock that has been severely punished at the moment o. a. due to the interest rate hikes and the uncertainty in the market together with the "tax loss" selling this has put considerable pressure on the stock.

I expect 2025 to be a much better year for Niocorp especially once the financing with EXIM is finalized!

In my opinion definitely worth buying at the moment at $1.41

Wagner- any way you can translate this to english and paste it??

Only 12 more days for Mark’s “Watershed Year” prediction!

When is the next AGM? Less than two weeks till the end of 2024 and no mention of one. How did it all come to this. I picked 4 out of the scrapheap and invested in all of them. So far none have done squat but the story is good. Hope that one hits and you can write off the other ones.

Currently worth more than minerals nobody wants to mess with harvesting at this point, so far.

Coulda woulda shoulda. Never fails. I remember looking at my new video cards in 2009 thinking hey it might be fun to mine bitcoin with these. Just never got around to setting it up 😅

invested in NB in 2019. since then BTC went 3000% up :s
--> so air is more worth than , underground minerals

I guess they concentrate all recourses to
Exim... 

Desperately seeking loans.. 

Oops. You just pulled a walter. Now it wont happen.

The next PR will most likely be stopgap funding with lots of dilution. There can't be much money left after Yorkville is paid off in January right?

The next PR after the AGM date should be become interesting 

Hmmmm. . . . .

Maybe now, with knowledgeable, serious adults getting ready to inhabit the white house- things might get done! enough double-speak

So that’s all it takes.
I thought it was because of, the more the merrier phenomenon .
🤔

I have been critical of management regarding the scope creep and timeframes but in fairness, it's not like other mines have been getting financed over the last few years and we didn't get any love..... It has been a drought b/c we have political leaders that talk a lot of shit ( aka a big game) about home-sourcing elements/minerals, but nothing much really happened during this last administration... it was not mining friendly...... Maybe now, with knowledgeable, serious adults getting ready to inhabit the white house- things might get done! enough double-speak and posturing..... the friggin' national security of the country is at stake.... CCP is holding the industry at ransom (with tarriffs and embargos of CE's & REE's) and has been extorting the world markets for years........
But NOW It appears that the hand wringing and realization of the dire CE/REE supply line situation is on center stage..... This administration is now at the switch and not a moment too soon...... The planets all seem to be aligned for us NB investors to be rewarded.....this is not just pollyanish rose-colored glasses optimism...... The world (and US) has woken up....... WE NEEDED THIS POLITICAL LEADERSHIP...............

LFG Niocorp.....
Chuggga chugga chugga chugga....
'The 'lil engine that could/or might... needs to ENGAGE!!!! and finish the FS that we have waited almost 3 years for....... C'MON!!!!

Maybe it isn't just a Niocorp issue. Maybe it is a USA mining industry issue. https://www.npr.org/2024/12/18/nx-s1-5220261/american-mining-industry-regulation-trump

Right, still a risk investing like ptta
which performed from 3 up to 12 $ this year...
Observation, exim application goes the nearly same way, even they decided to take a investment specialist as consultant. 

If that's true then why did you think some individuals pumped the stock back in the day if you believe social media doesn't influence buying or selling decisions. Professional have advantages that novices do not. I think long term retail investors have learned a lot along the way and realize that beneath some posters opinions there is a built in agenda to either buy shares low or sell shares high. But, not all cheerleaders are built the same. Some believed in the company and the opportunity but did not sell even on good news which in retrospect was a mistake. NioCorp will come back. Just a matter of time. If not on this Teams watch maybe the next though it seems the current team is intractable and doesn't want to hand over complete control just yet and will keep trying to get the project financed instead of giving up though I'm curious what are they waiting for.

No victory lap here. It is almost comical that some here have to have someone tell them when to buy or sell. They are called sheeple and just follow the herd.

So true, NC. We all believed in what was being promoted and of course what the company was promoting. It's not necessary for this individual to take a victory lap ex post facto especially after pumping the company for so many years and then selling out. Hopefully, we can eke out some kind of gain with the shares we have left. It would be nice if the company could take the foot off the break and instead come out with a break through going forward. Patiently waiting with all the rest.....

Wish I had listened to his public service announcement when it was made. Instead, I listened to fools like Always Oblivious and held on as we plummeted into the ground.

At this point, we need a 10x rise in share price to get about where we were at just a couple years ago. 2024 is predicted to be a watershed year 🙄 Time for the seasoned mining team from Centennial, Colorado to be honest with investors about their incompetence and abject failures.

DOA- On behalf of all the shareholders that you recruited into NB, we are forever indebted, even after you sold your position ( right..... uh huh....wink wink nod nod..... BS BS...) you are still indebted to your 'flock' and stay on the MB to warn people hourly (about the failed GX merger) a year and a half ago.... what committment!! your dedication to your'flock' knows NO LIMITS! do we get parting gifts on the way out the door? sheeeez..... still hard to believe you are still here doing this 'Public Service'. to all the shareholders........ damn.....

I probably would have rode the Nio train off a cliff but when GX entered the picture, I had a feeling this was bad news. Whoever put these two companies together should share a lot of the blame. I am guessing MS was the culprit but not 100% sure. Just believe Niocorp was on its' last legs and they needed a lifeline. Right before the merger was agreed on, someone chopped the lifeline with an axe.

Still cannot believe the clapping on the stage at the Nas while the stock price was dropping from the outset. Ms.Fenga was looking for the nearest exit to escape the clutches of Lurch behind her. Management knew the gig was up but had to keep the charade of clapping going. Guarantee the flight home to Colorado was the longest of their lives.

Snake oil salesmen are always good. Charming. Been the case for hundreds of years. Longs in Niocorp ruined themselves by not listening to me. An expert in the junior financing area. You are permanently destructed.

Hard to know when BS and Truth will Merge to become a hole in the ground?

DOA, For someone who existed their position 9 months ago, you sure spend a lot of time posting about this stock.

I think it’s time for everyone to come to terms with the fact that Mark may not be the nice guy he portrays himself to be.

I know of many people, myself included, that bought into what the company was telling us. The turning point was the GXII merger. Mark failed us in a horrendous fashion. It’s downright pathetic how much equity Mark coughed up to them for absolutely nothing!!!

Regardless of whether this project ever gets financed, Mark needs to be held accountable for his incompetence in that deal.

I have met Mark on a few different occasions and you could not meet a nicer guy. Back in 2016 if he had run for president, he might have won. Straight talking completely honest CEO who was all in on Niocorp. No one disputed his words except for LPC and he was chastised for it.


It just baffles me that the company is sitting at near all time lows at the end of 2024 and the predictions have been so wrong. 2019 financing was imminent,2020-2021 there were multiple entities vying for the right to debt fund this project. 2021 the beginning of where are the players. People used Covid as an excuse but I was told it would not be a deterrent.2022 the fault line had cracked and the company was running out of funding. They enlisted a middleman to find someone to come up with sufficient capital to get going. The result was a disaster and the vampires from GX entered into the bloodstream of Niocorp and sucked the life right out of the company. Shares are redistributed and the downfall begins. 2024 Mark has doubled down and said this would be a watershed year. Unless something major happens in two weeks, another prediction has come and gone.

I always thought that Niocorp would make me a wealthy individual. That went by the board when I exited our positions with the announcement of GX and the r/s. It was a no-brainer at the time because the odds were stacked against shareholders. The complete withdrawal of funding by GX was a huge nail in the coffin.

Does anyone actually want to mess with the orebody? I know there is stuff in the ground, but that is not my question. Does any entity actually want to undertake the process or fund the process to harvest it. That is what makes me nervous. So far, that answer has been "no".

Hopefully the need of the materials, due to geopolitical circumstances, supersedes the economic and logistical issues that have been hampering investment in the project. The price point of materials that exist within our own borders is apparently still a factor in the US government being able to acquire minerals "critical" to national security and that is concerning.

I agree
But things can change.... 


Otherwise we need a sale tag for the whole project 

Tax selling for sure
Shorts maybe somewhat
You left out the single biggest problem though, Mark's failure to deliver. The last 3 years have been a complete disaster. Potential investors see this.

Here we go again... LOL. We need 10 reposts of the article and 30 wild speculations of investment. We won't hear a peep about Softbank and NB other than this board, but we gotta have something to talk about. 🤷

just kiddin. sorta.

Although I’m not sure about the answer to your question, there is a lot synergy with critical minerals.

TechMet
Mike Mullen - advisory board and new director for Sprint
Mark Smith - advisory board
Softbank bought Sprint and others

Lots of DD for synergy for SoftBank

Better buy up all the shares you can at these bargain basement prices!!!!

When I saw the softbank article I knew it would be on this board in about 5 minutes. Lmao.

The Japanese visit was Sumitomo!! Remember the lunacy that erupted here?? 😅

Does Softbank know of NioCorp from when the Japanese News was at Elk Creek about a year ago??

On a positive note, I see Fidel's son might be on his way out up north. He can now chase Taylor Swift around the world on her next tour.

We are victims of Mark Smith’s incompetence from the GXII deal.
