Canada must ‘shut off’ critical minerals to U.S. to counter Trump: Singh
By Uday Rana Global News
Posted January 13, 2025

Oh Canada! The TDS is strong with this one...might work in NioCorp's favor!

“Donald Trump is not rational. You can’t discuss a plan over a meal with him. He is a bully and bullies understand one thing, that is strength. They also understand pain. So if he wants to pick a fight with Canada, we have to make sure it’s clear that it’s going to hurt Americans as well.”

Buy more shares now to bring your overall share price down. Great buying opportunity at these decade lows. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Be thankful, not critical…..lol

Of course, im being very sarcastic. Mark Smith and his dream team have failed the investors who have supported him and his team for over a decade now. There’s no excuse for the number of failures that have occurred.

Yeah talking time is done. When whoever they are speaking to inserts money into the NB bank, I will listen those words. No other lip flapping matters. Not that my attention is needed for anything of course.

Stalking PC by the looks of his reply to a month old post.

Just a guess.

*********
On another note, I refuse to listen to anymore NioCorp speaking engagements. So this Thursday is going to come and go without my attention.

What are you getting at with your cryptic flyby? Please, any excitement would be welcome. 🤪

Putz: We are not at 2 years. Who's we? LoL SMH

Keep an eye on the door. Big revelation! It's coming. UK

🤣🤣🤣 HOW BAD does shit have to be to actually celebrate a "smaller" loss?!?!?! LMAO its so fucking pathetic its hilarious. You cant make this shit up!

It is not bad news. Really, Its not. Its like being happy to eat fresh dogshit because that's all you have to eat.

Or even worse.

But who knows. Maybe!!

But then again because Reta Jo Lewis is a Democrat she will probably get fired and it’ll take two more years for EXIM

🤷🏼‍♂️ Sigh

Despite falling off a horse last month, Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen was at Mar-a-Lago this week meeting with President Trump. Did they discuss Elk Creek?

https://x.com/TeamPillen/status/1877510456962678828

Yeah!! Let's have the s&&&t in the fan!!!

Repayment is next date February, we can see nothing in the fog..... I guess they are blind like us about timing...

What a mess 

Loss for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a loss for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023, of $3.3 million, or $0.09 per share.

Right 🙄 lipstick on a pig. They keep putting off repaying their loan and they did some extremely dilutive private placements while the share price is in the tank. Makes for a great looking quarter lol

How much will their losses be next quarter if they finally find a way to repay that loan??

HELL NO!!!! WE aren't settling for $4.00 (.40 pre split)... Hitting $8 is just break even (where we were before the highly MaxZ/Skiluk touted SPACle disaster.... we need between $12-$15 (MINIMUM) when the FS gets published and the Financing is announced.... otherwise this whole Elk Creek nightmare will have been a big seething pile of shit on the front yard.... and a COLLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME, that would have been MUCH BETTER invested in the S&P 'Mag 7' stocks or index...... It's last call in '25 NioCorp.... let's ENGAGE AND EXECUTE....... Orange Man will have your back...... No More EXCUSES..... let's have all our ducks in a row and our shit lined up this time (unlike the 'caught with our pants down' costing us 2-3 years to determine whether we can economically produce REE's (and we STILL have not announced UNEQUIVOCALLY that we are mining REE's and quantified their revenue contribution)!!! G Zussss...... let's go Honan.... BE READY THIS TIME...

I guess it’s a no-brainer, 2024 wouldn’t be as destructive, as 2023.

It’s nice to know we have a CEO who brought the company to its knees.
Which is also the reason we haven’t received the nod for financing yet.

and while the current figures are subject to adjustments, they indicate improved financial health, potentially impacting its ability to secure project financing

Although, I must admit,
NioCorp Technologies UK, is a nice distraction.

Nurture

focus overseas,

Good find ge. Hopefully 2025.

Everything is
"secure project financing and operational advancements for the Elk Creek Project."


January, February soon ends.....

Yes Sir..... 

Putz,
5620. Meetings of Shareholders
(a) Each Company listing common stock or voting preferred stock, and their equivalents, shall hold an annual meeting of Shareholders no later than one year after the end of the Company's fiscal year-end, unless such Company is a limited partnership that meets the requirements of Rule 5615(a)(4)(D).

The fiscal year end is June 30.

Hope that helps, happy weekend all.

Very interesting how they keep pushing the AGM later and later every year

Nasdaq 5600. Corporate Governance Requirements
(this should help confuse you...)
https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/nasdaq/rules/Nasdaq%205600%20Series

5601. Preamble to the Corporate Governance Requirements
In addition to meeting the quantitative requirements in the Rule 5200, 5300, 5400 and 5500 Series, Companies applying to list and listed on Nasdaq must meet the qualitative requirements outlined in this Rule 5600 Series. These requirements include rules relating to a Company's board of directors, including audit committees and Independent Director oversight of executive compensation and the director nomination process; recovery of erroneously awarded compensation; code of conduct; shareholder meetings, including proxy solicitation and quorum; review of related party transactions; and shareholder approval, including voting rights. Exemptions to these rules, including phase-in schedules, are set forth in Rule 5615.

5620. Meetings of Shareholders
(a) Each Company listing common stock or voting preferred stock, and their equivalents, shall hold an annual meeting of Shareholders no later than one year after the end of the Company's fiscal year-end, unless such Company is a limited partnership that meets the requirements of Rule 5615(a)(4)(D).

IM-5620. Meetings of Shareholders or Partners
Rule 5620(a) requires that each Company listing common stock or voting preferred stock, and their equivalents, hold an annual meeting of Shareholders within one year of the end of each fiscal year. At each such meeting, Shareholders must be afforded the opportunity to discuss Company affairs with management and, if required by the Company's governing documents, to elect directors. A new listing that was not previously subject to a requirement to hold an annual meeting is required to hold its first meeting within one-year after its first fiscal year-end following listing. Of course, Nasdaq's meeting requirement does not supplant any applicable state or federal securities laws concerning annual meetings.

This requirement is not applicable to issuers whose only securities listed on Nasdaq are non-voting preferred securities, debt securities, Derivative Securities as defined in Rule 5615(a)(6)(B) or securities listed pursuant to Rule 5730(a) (such as Trust Preferred Securities and Contingent Value Rights), unless the listed security is a common stock or voting preferred stock equivalent (e.g., a callable common stock). Notwithstanding, if the Company also lists common stock or voting preferred stock, or their equivalent, the Company must still hold an annual meeting for the holders of that common stock or voting preferred stock, or their equivalent.

Adopted Mar. 12, 2009 (SR-NASDAQ-2009-018); amended May 28, 2019 (SR-NASDAQ-2019-039), operative June 28, 2019.

When you have no money, no news, and debt to pay off somehow, you might as well delay the pain as long as you can. Maybe by delaying to the last possible time, something might actually happen that will give them something to discuss other than the weather. If I were in the dumpster fire they are in right now, I would not have a meeting until I absolutely had to. There is no positive light to shine until some undetermined entity shits out XX million dollars into the NB bank. Until that single event occurs, this is a catastrophe. Bullshit PowerPoint story time with coffee and donuts is over.

That being said, if we get to the meeting with no tangible news, it will still be tapdancing and bullshit like before, and before, and before. Rinse repeat. I just hope the company keeps existing if nothing occurs soon.

Can someone please explain to me why if our financial year end is the end of June why we are having our AGM near the end of the first quarter of 2025, when everything I have read, states within 6 months of the first day of the new financial year?

The only exception to that is in this link which states a trading private company must be within nine months.

That by itself confuses the hell out of me because how is it that a private company can trade?

If our SPAC is considered an IPO and March 2023 allowed us to postpone our 2023 AGM BUT our year end remains the same and therefore the 2024 AGM, still has to be within six months of our financial year-round for 2024. Don’t we?

U.S. interests appear to be changing the game for rare earths projects that had previously not been seen as attractive investments, analysts said.

ge11, Sometimes I wonder if we will ever see a mine in Nebraska, until the rest of the world is depleted. lol

If USA can get Niobium from Brazil
Scandium from Australia
Titanium from , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium_production_by_country
Rare Earth Elements, from Anywhere, (If the Light bulb is turned on) 💡, pfffft

***********
12 years ago I was betting on Niobium only, because we were coming out of a recession, and infrastructure would need Niobium in steel.
Boy was I wrong! 🙃

I swear if I ever make any money here I will hire myself, to find out the truth about the REE's 💡
Watch out Mark, lol

NioCorp to Speak at the 2025 Mining Conference
on Jan. 16, 2025

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (January 9, 2025) – NioCorp Developments Ltd. CEO Mark A. Smith (“NioCorp” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:NB) will speak at the “2025 Mining Conference: Mining & Supplying Critical Minerals & Precious Metals,” presented by Maxim Group LLC on Thursday, January 16, 2025.

This is good in that it further evidences a push to secure supply chains, but this particular initiative doesn't seem directed toward US critical mineral miners like Niocorp:

SCRI financing will directly support agreements between U.S. manufacturers, such as automakers and battery producers, and global mineral suppliers in trusted partner countries. These agreements ensure critical minerals flow into U.S.-based production facilities, fostering growth in domestic supply chains.

I heard critical minerals mentioned once on TV when Trump decided he wants to take Canada for spare change.
(Beer money) lol

I think we should hear this type of CRITICAL MINERAL hype info, over the airwaves.

I hear a lot about China and USA supply chains, but critical minerals is rarely segregated out as very serious business.

How many reaffirming’s do they need to have, before it qualifies as news?

I say make Rita Jo Lewis famous

Thanks GE! good find.... Hey maybe this means that the add on 'homework assignment' for NioCorp (i.e, extra drilling to move from probable to stockpile) will NOT be necessary, as this additional criteria was probably only designed to slow down the process go give the EXIM agency a breather in order to evaluate the other defaults and the rising default rate.... maybe we can forego all of that crap now...... and actually continue on with the Finance Process... hopefully....

Yadddddd

Oh my Gosh!! we are going to SOAR all the way up to $4 dollars, when we were at ~$8 before the reverse split ......... talk to us Maxim when you have a $15 estimate IF (and when) we ever get this ball rolling and get FS issued and financing..... If the stock only moves to $4 that would be a YUGE kick in the NUTZ and a massive waste of many years for most shareholders that have come to realize they forewent many years of gains from other possible investments to be part of this mining roller coaster ride....... and everything that has gone with it....... God help us if this load doesnt move over $4 within the next year........ ARGH....
Remaining positive tho..... even tho our hopes have been dashed many many many times in this stock...

LoL. Target of 40 cents Pre- ,

and diluting faster than before.

How many outstanding shares do we have now?

It was under 30M, after the reverse split

So 33% more dilution since.
But he’s a nice guy
