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,
forecast to see strong demand growth via rapid-charging solid-
state Titanium Niobium Oxide 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
