is Driving Demand Growth for the Critical Minerals at the Focus of NioCorp¹
[]
Shovel-ready¹ pure-play critical minerals project with the
highest-grade Niobium resource in North America and the
2nd largest indicated rare earth resource in the U.S.²
Positioned to become a major U.S. miner / producer of
Niobium, which is forecast to see strong demand growth via
rapid-charging solid state Li-Ion batteries.³
Large prospective U.S. producer of Scandium with a Scandium
Mineral Reserve supported by a feasibility study. Scandium has large
latent demand in the commercial aviation and automotive sectors.4
NioCorp is conducting technical and economic analyses5 on the
potential addition to its planned product suite of several magnetic
rare earth oxides, which are forecast to experience large supply
shortages because of sharply rising demand.6
Project is strongly focused on environmental, social, and
governance values and is already aligned with the Equator
Principles ESG Framework.

PRINCIPLES
1 Subject to receipt of necessary project financing and commencement of operations at the Elk Creek Project.
2 Indicated mineral resource, based on data from the "Critical Mineral Resources of the United States-Economic and Environmental Geology and Prospects for Future Supply," U.S. Geological Survey, 2017, and from company-issued reports.

5 As no economic analysis has been completed on the rare earth mineral resource comprising the Project, further studies are required before determining whether extraction of rare earth elements can be reasonably justified and economically viable after taking
account relevant factors.
