What does NioCorp have to do with this company?

[b280 views May 30, 2023
In this video, NioCorp executives Mark Smith, CEO and Executive Chairman, and Scott Honan, Chief Operating Officer, discuss the Company's recent launch of a phased commercialization effort aimed at producing aluminum-scandium (“AlSc”) master alloy in the US for commercial and defense applications.



Current aluminum-scandium alloys used in various applications typically contain between 0.1% – 0.4% scandium. This relatively small amount of scandium delivers enormous benefits to the resulting alloy, such as greater strength, corrosion resistance, and weldability. AlSc alloys are increasingly seen as a powerful way to lightweight transportation systems, such as electric vehicles, and to provide greater performance for defense systems.

Producing these alloys requires AlSc master alloy, which typically contains approximately 2% scandium and allows commercial aluminum alloy manufacturers to introduce scandium into alloy formulations.]

[u]NioCorp Demonstrates Higher Niobium Recovery Rates
[url][/url][tag]insert-text-here[/tag]
New Processing Approach Demonstrates the Ability to Make More Niobium per Tonne of Ore, Produce a Higher Purity Product, and Potentially Address New Markets with Different Niobium Products


CENTENNIAL, Colo. (May 25, 2023) – NioCorp Developments Ltd. (“NioCorp” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:NB) (TSX:NB) is pleased to announce that it has successfully demonstrated the ability to recover greater amounts of the critical mineral niobium from each tonne of ore the Company expects to mine at its Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project, located in southeast Nebraska, once sufficient financing is obtained and the project is constructed.

Final results from NioCorp's metallurgical demonstration plant in Trois Rivieres, Quebec, show that NioCorp's new and improved recovery process can achieve a 90.7% rate of niobium recovery through the hydrometallurgical process. Overall recovery through the pyrometallurgical production of the commercial product ferroniobium is expected to be 86.7%. NioCorp's previous approach to niobium production was able to achieve recovery rates through the hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurtical processes of 86.8% and 82.4%, respectively.

The higher rates of niobium recovery from NioCorp's new process point to the likelihood of higher niobium production levels from NioCorp from the same mining tonnage, although a final determination of planned niobium production can be made only after work related to a mineral reserve update, additional engineering, updated project capital and operating cost estimates, and other required information is produced for publication in a new Feasibility Study.

Potential New Forms of Niobium Products and Potential Markets

NioCorp's new process approach, which incorporates a chlorination step to improve niobium and titanium separation and purification, also has demonstrated NioCorp's ability to potentially produce three different niobium products: (1) ferroniobium; (2) niobium chloride; and (3) niobium oxide.

NioCorp had previously planned to make ferroniobium, which is used by the steel industry to produce high-strength low-alloy steel alloys. Those alloys are used in the construction, automotive and transport, aerospace and defense, oil and gas, and other industries. Niobium is a $3.3 billion per year global market but is currently served by only three major niobium producers in two countries.


Niobium chloride would likely be converted by NioCorp into niobium oxide, but niobium chloride is also used in glass and ceramic manufacturing.


Niobium oxide is critical to multiple applications, including niobium-lithium-ion batteries, superalloys, superconducting applications, capacitors, specialized optics, and many others. Its use in niobium-lithium-ion batteries is considered by current niobium producers as one of the fastest growing prospective global niobium markets.

More Streamlined Production Process Demonstrated

NioCorp’s new process has been demonstrated to be more efficient than the previous design, is expected to require fewer processing steps, and may allow the elimination of entire processes in NioCorp’s planned processing plant in Nebraska, such as acid regeneration.

“I am very pleased with the results shown in our demonstration plant for niobium recovery,” said Mark A. Smith, CEO and Executive Chairman of NioCorp. “These results point strongly to the likelihood of NioCorp producing more niobium from each tonne of Elk Creek Project ore, which could have positive impacts on our Project’s anticipated overall financial returns. These results also point to the prospect of our Project producing more forms of niobium for a greater range of global markets.”
“These are very exciting results and they point to potentially greater production levels and additional optionality in terms of where we can sell niobium and the prices these products command,” said Scott Honan, NioCorp Chief Operating Officer.

“While the demonstration plant has performed well, the pace of operations has gone at a slower rate than any of us would have liked. That is often the case with demonstration plants, which by their nature are designed to investigate innovate pathways for producing commercial products as well as stress testing those processes. Our top priority in this project has always been to maintain a very high standard for technical feasibility and testing, and to conduct the work safely and efficiently. Adhering to high standards is critical to the project’s success, including being able to attract necessary financing to bring projects such as ours to commercial reality."

NioBay said initial tests will be performed by SGS Canada in Lakefield, Ontario, with the first results expected in 4-6 months.

The James Bay Niobium project is located on Moose Cree First Nation traditional territory, 42 km south of Moosonee, Ontario. Niobay Metals acquired 100% of the property from Barrick Gold In June 2016.

"New niobium battery technology will completely change our perceptions of electric vehicles, but the benefits of niobium are not just limited to passenger EVs", said Claude Dufresne, president and chief executive of NioBay Metals.

Dutch producer CBMM estimates that demand will increase from 100 tonnes in 2020 to 45,000 tonnes by 2030.

"The development of niobium battery technology is creating a great opportunity and we are well-positioned to participate in its development. The test program on James Bay Niobium ore is only the beginning, and the program could well expand to our Crevier niobium and tantalum asset in Quebec. In addition, we will continue to spend the necessary resources to measure the potential of the 6-minute EV battery charge,'' said Dufresne.


In October, Niobay Metals outlined "robust returns" for three different mining scenarios being considered for its James Bay niobium project in northern Ontario, reported Mining Journal at the time.

FAIR /UNFAIR TO THE 1ST NATION CREE'SMontreal, March 18, 2022 – Dear shareholder,

I would like to provide you with additional information surrounding our decision to suspend drilling at our James Bay Niobium project.

1- We received a letter from the council of the Moose Cree First Nation (“MCFN”) asking us to stop exploration activities.

2- This request is based on a small survey, which we had been told was supposed to be informative in nature and not decision-making, as there are already referendum mechanisms in the community. Overall, 300 people were surveyed, 55% of whom want to protect the South Bluff Creek area. Recall that the population of MCFN is approximately 3,900. South Bluff Creek is near our mining lease and where have been drilling.

3-We are being respectful of the Chief and Council and have requested an urgent meeting with them.

4- Originally, we had planned to stop for the goose-hunting break in two weeks. Work will therefore be suspended for a little longer which will allow us to work out our options.

5-The Ontario government has been made aware of this situation and we are planning a meeting to find a solution to resolve this impasse.

Remember that our exploration permit is valid until the end of the year and that we still have a “Protection Agreement” with the community that was resigned on December 7th. It is rather ironic to have received this letter from MCFN on the same day as the release of the Ontario Government’s strategy to support critical and strategic mineral projects.

The James Bay Niobium project has demonstrated its strong potential since it is extremely rare to find this metal in the quantities discovered to date. There are only 3 niobium mines in operation in the world. Niobium is used primarily in steel, of which Ontario is a major producer, and recently in some batteries and electronic components.

We will keep you informed of developments.

Thank you for your support,
Jean-Sebastien David
President and Chief Executive Officer

Result Highlights:

Recoveries 40% higher than similar projects

The concentration of Nb2O5 is 10% higher than its peers

The low silica content and higher Nb2O5 concentration should lead to a significant reduction in acid consumption for the production of battery-grade Niobium

The final results for the production of battery-grade Niobium oxide to come

MONTREAL, Oct. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NioBay Metals Inc. ("NioBay" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NBY) (OTCQB: NBYCF), a company focused on exploration, development and use of critical green metals with an Environmentally, Sustainable, Governance, and Indigenous (ESGI) focus, is pleased to provide the first results from its metallurgical program. The program is designed to achieve battery grade Niobium oxide to be used as anode material in fast charging lithium battery technology.

As published on April 6, 2021, the Company announced the beginning of a series of metallurgical testing related to the production of battery-grade Niobium from its James Bay Niobium Project (the “James Bay Project”). This first phase of testing, performed by SGS Lakefield Inc, consisted of producing a Niobium concentrate, similar to the previous tests done on the James Bay Project’s ore.

The results demonstrated a 3% improvement from the Company’s market-leading Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) recovery, reaching up to 81.3% while producing a Niobium concentrate of 61.7%. In addition, the lack of deleterious material and low silicate content should translate in a significant reduction in acid consumption for the battery-grade Niobium oxide production. The first phase of metallurgical testing also contributed to optimizing the parameters and flowsheet design.

James Bay Niobium Project
Ownership

Niobay Metals Inc. 100 %,



Location

The James Bay property is located east of the Township of Carroll in the district of Cochrane, on the Moose Cree First Nation Traditional Territory, 45 km south of Moosonee, in the James Bay Lowlands in the Province of Ontario, Canada.



Area

The property comprises the Crown Mining Lease (# CLM11) and covers a total of 2,530 hectares.



History

The James Bay property was discovered in 1966 by Consolidated Morrison Explorations. Major exploration work carried out in 1968 and 1969, including about 14,600 meters of drilling in 85 holes established a deposit extending to 275 meters in depth and 500 meters longitudinally. Lakefield Research (now SGS Lakefield) carried out metallurgical tests in 1969, allowing for the development of a flow sheet for the niobium ore, to produce a niobium concentrate grading of about 65% pyrochlore (Nb2O5). The overall niobium recovery was 78% during the pilot tests which is by far the higher niobium recovery for this type of niobium deposit.



A historical feasibility study was completed by the firm Canadian Bechtel Ltd. at the end of 1969, and updated by the same firm in 1979.

Several studies dealing with specific aspects of the project were carried out between 1969 and 1979 by independent firms or companies for evaluation purposes, with a view to possible partnerships or acquisitions. At that time niobium price was a fraction of where it is today.



In June 2016, Niobay Metals Inc. acquired 100% of the property from Barrick Gold Inc., James Bay Columbium Ltd., and Goldcorp Inc.



Geology and Mineralization

A pyrochlore mineralization is contained in an intrusive complex of pyroxene-rich carbonatites dating from the Huronian Orogen and generally orientated north­ south. Intrusions of hornblende gneiss abut the complex on its east and west sides. The general dip is sub-vertical, orientated slightly to the east.



Paleozoic sediments consisting of altered, silty, sandy, argillaceous sandstones discordantly cover the carbonatite complex. These sandstones vary in thickness from 12 to 30 meters, and lie horizontally over the carbonatites, covering them completely. Unconsolidated silty glacial sediments between 6 and 10 meters deep cover these sandstones, and are themselves covered by spongy peat (muskeg) 1 to 2 meters deep.



Historical Estimates

A historical estimate was finalized by Dr. P. Price of Canadian Bechtel Ltd in 1967 and indicated 62 million tonnes at 0.52% Nb2O5. Moreover, an exploration shaft was sunk, and a 225-tonne bulk sample was extracted to subsequently be used in a pilot plant which demonstrated a recovery rate of 78%, which is considered high for niobium processing.



The historical resources estimate, the historical feasibility, and the historical metallurgical testing are based on data obtained by previous operators in the 1960s. Niobay Metals has not yet undertaken the work necessary to verify or classify those historical results except the mineral resources estimate. Economic studies completed in the 1960s do not mean the James Bay Niobium deposit would be found to be economic today. Niobay Metals is not treating the historical results as a current mineral resource nor as having been verified by a qualified person.



2016-2017 Validation Program / Mineral Resource Estimate

The first phase of the 2016-2017 validation program consists of re-logging and re-assaying 12 historical diamond drill holes distributed in six 122-meters apart transversal vertical sections, with two representative holes per section. Small numbers of laboratory metallurgical tests were also conducted from the historical cores which initial results are supporting the 1969 pilot plant one.



A Mineral Resource estimate was prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (“RPA”) following a successful re-logging and re-sampling program of representative historical diamond drill holes conducted by NioBay



The effective date of the estimate is October 31, 2018 and the supporting NI 43-101 technical report is available on the website.

CROSSED FINGERS: Niobay Metals Inc.
Montreal, April 4, 2022 – Dear shareholder,

Following our decision to suspend drilling and exploration activities at our James Bay Niobium Project based on a letter received from the council of the Moose Cree First Nation (“MCFN”), I would like to update you on the latest development.

Firstly, all of our effort have been and continue to be made in the best interest of shareholders and for the future of NioBay.

Following the letter, we were able to have a meeting with MCFN negotiation team. Following this meeting, we tabled a letter asking them to support our return to the field to complete our drilling campaign.
Originally, we had planned to stop for the goose-hunting break in April 2022. Therefore, the program was suspended two weeks earlier then expected.
It is now the hunting season and our camp has been put on care and maintenance.
We have stated to the negotiation team, that our priority is to return and complete the drilling program as originally agreed on. However, we are also evaluating all options available to NioBay (a modified drill program, exploration on other existing NioBay properties, potential target properties, etc.)
Over the last two weeks we have held discussions with the officials of several Ministries, including the Premiere’s office. We all trying to find the best-negotiated solution with MCFN.
We feel that there is a sincere interest from the Ontario Government in our project as it fits well with their recent announcement on sritical minerals.
Ontario’s Open for Business
We will increase direct contact with MCFN members therefore going around the Council in order for the MCFN members to have access to all information they require.
Keep in mind that NioBay has a mining lease and an exploration permit in good standing and an Environmental protection agreement with MCFN in place.

The James Bay Niobium Project has demonstrated its strong potential based on the information we were able to obtain so far (a PEA was completed in 2021). It is extremely rare to find this metal in the quantities discovered to date. There are only 3 niobium mines in operation in the world. Niobium is used primarily in steel, of which Ontario is a major producer, and recently in some batteries and electronic components.

10 Important Uses Of Niobium
Niobium is a rare metal with a high melting point, silvery gray color, soft texture, and good ductility. The density of niobium is 8.57g / cm³, the melting point is 2477 ° C, and the boiling point is 4744 ° C. Thanks to its good superconductivity, high melting-point, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, niobium is widely used in production and life. In this article, we will take a look at the 10 important uses of niobium.

Uses of Niobium
Uses of Niobium

1. The Uses Of Niobium In The Metal Industry
About 85% to 90% of the world’s niobium is used in iron and steel production in the form of ferroniobium. Adding 0.03% to 0.05% of niobium in the steel can increase the yield strength of the steel by more than 30%.

Besides, niobium can also achieve the dispersion distribution of precipitates by inducing precipitation and controlling the cooling rate, and adjust the toughness level of steel in a wide range.

Therefore, adding niobium to steel can not only improve the strength of the steel, but also improve the toughness, high-temperature oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of the steel, reduce the brittle transition temperature of the steel, and make the steel have good welding performance and formability.

2. The Uses Of Niobium In The Superconducting Materials Industry
Certain compounds and alloys of niobium have high superconducting transition temperatures and are therefore widely used in the manufacture of various industrial superconductors, such as superconducting generators, superconducting magnetic energy storage devices, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging equipment, and so on.

At present, the most important superconductor materials are niobium-titanium and niobium-tin, which are widely used in medical diagnostic magnetic resonance imagers and nuclear magnetic resonance instruments for spectral lines.

3. The Uses Of Niobium In The Aerospace Industry
The aerospace industry is the main application area of ??high-purity niobium, mainly used in the production of rockets, spacecraft engines, and heat-resistant components.

The Uses of Niobium in the Aerospace Industry
The Uses of Niobium in the Aerospace Industry

Niobium and tantalum heat-strength alloys have good heat-strength properties, heat resistance, and processing properties, and are widely used in the manufacture of aero-engine parts and gas turbine blades.

Niobium alloy is used in the thermal components of almost all jet fighter engines in the United States.

4. The Uses Of Niobium In The Atomic Energy Industry
Niobium has good thermal conductivity, high melting point, good corrosion resistance, and low neutron capture cross-section. It is a very suitable material for atomic energy reactors.

The main uses of niobium in the atomic energy industry include jacket materials for nuclear fuel, alloys for nuclear fuel, and structural materials for heat exchangers in nuclear reactors.

5. The Uses Of Niobium In The Electronics Industry
Niobate ceramics can be used to make capacitors, single crystals of compounds such as lithium niobate and potassium niobate. They are crystals for optoelectronics and electronics. They have good piezoelectric and optical properties and are widely used in infrared, laser technology and electronics industries.

In addition, niobium has a high melting point, a strong ability to emit electrons, and has a gettering ability, which can be used to make electronic tubes and other electric vacuum devices.

6. The Uses Of Niobium In The Medical Field
Niobium has good resistance to physiological corrosion and biocompatibility, will not interact with various liquid substances in the human body, and will hardly damage living organism tissues. Niobium can adapt to any sterilization method, so it is often used in the manufacture of bone plates, skull plate bone screws, dental implant roots, surgical appliances, and the like.

7. The Uses Of Niobium In The Chemical Industry
In the chemical industry, niobium is a high-quality material resistant to acids and liquid metals. It can be used to make cookers, heaters, coolers, etc. In addition, niobic acid is an important catalyst.

8. The Uses Of Niobium In The Foundry Industry
Niobium is also used in the foundry industry to form hard carbides (good for wear) and to change the shape and size of graphite sheets, so it is often used in the manufacture of automobile cylinder heads, piston rings, and brake pads. In addition, niobium is sometimes used with gold and silver on commemorative coins.

9. The Uses Of Niobium In The Optical Industry
Niobium helps to increase the light transmittance of lenses and is therefore also used in the manufacture of lenses in the optical industry.

10. The Uses Of Niobium In The Lighting Industry
Niobium can also be used in the lighting industry. For example, an alloy of niobium and 1% zirconium can be used to make a precise bracket for high-efficiency and high-strength sodium vapor street lamps, so that these small parts have high thermal strength, excellent formability, and resistance to sodium vapor corrosion performance.

SEEMS HOLDING A STRONG HAND ISN'T WORKING. THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE NEED TO BE ON SITE WITH THE ORGINAL PEOPLE AND HAVE AN EXPLAINATION OF THE TRUTH IN MINING TO THE PEOPLE, HAVEN'T DONE EFFECT. NIOBAY METALS PROVIDES UPDATE ON ITS ACTIVITIES
MONTREAL, April 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NioBay Metals Inc. (“NioBay” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NBY) (OTCQB: NBYCF) provides the following update on its activities.
James Bay Niobium Project

NioBay announced the suspension of its exploration activities on the James Bay Project (press release March 17, 2022) following the reception of a letter from the board of the Moose Cree First Nation (MCFN). Since this date, we have continued our efforts with local authorities and members of the MCFN community as well as with the Ontario government to resume normal operations. NioBay has a mining lease, a valid exploration permit and an agreement with MCFN to carry out this second drilling campaign. However, NioBay will return and is ready to return to the field as soon as it obtains a guarantee that it can complete its work without interruption.

Pending further drilling in Ontario, the Company will take advantage of the other projects in its portfolio and advance exploration initiatives.

Crevier Project

NioBay continued its metallurgical work to optimize the economics of this project. With the assistance of the Quebec government, a series of metallurgical tests were conducted at COREM in 2021. Based on the success of these tests, they continued into 2022 and are currently in progress at the SGS laboratories in Quebec City. The results of this work will allow us to update our preliminary economic study (PEA), previously released in 2020.

The objective of the Crevier Project is to produce a niobium oxide and a tantalum oxide. Given the advances in the use of niobium in batteries, the Crevier Project, with its niobium oxide, has never been more relevant. Moreover, since this project’s PEA was released, the price of tantalum has risen by $30,000 per metric ton.

Gouin Project

NioBay optioned two properties from Les Ressources Tectonic inc. (press release of May 10, 2021) and conducted a series of exploration works in the summer of 2021. The results of the work identified 2 targets on the Gouin West property and 6 targets on the Gouin East property showing niobium potential. NioBay intends to continue its exploration work during the summer and fall of 2022 to further investigate the identified targets. Details of this exploration campaign will be presented later in the quarter.

Resource reallocation

NioBay will take advantage of the opportunities available to it with its various properties located in Quebec. As such, the Company will make changes to the allocation of financial and human resources to maximize its financial flexibility. With this in mind, we have terminated the consulting agreement with Derek Teevan, Vice-President, ESG & Communities and thank him for his services. As at March 31, 2022, the Company has approximately $9.0 million of cash on hand.

About NioBay Metals Inc.

NioBay is a company focused on exploration, development and use of critical green metals with an Environmentally, Sustainable, Governance, and Indigenous (ESGI) focus.

The Company holds a 100% interest in the James Bay Niobium Project located 45 km south of Moosonee, in the MCFN Traditional Territory of the James Bay Lowlands in Ontario. NioBay also holds a 72.5% interest in the Crevier Niobium and Tantalum Project located in Quebec and on the Nitassinan territory of the Pekuakamiulnuatsh First Nation.

About Niobium

Niobium is a naturally occurring element. It is a readily available, reliable, soft metal that is ductile, malleable, and highly resistant to corrosion. Because it enhances properties and functionalities, niobium is used in a wide range of materials and applications in the Mobility, Structural and Energy sectors. Niobium transforms materials. When added to materials like steel, glass and aluminum castings, niobium makes them smarter and lower environmental impacts, while also delivering other benefits like better performance, improved safety, and increased value.

ON MAY 16, 2022 TO FIND INTEREST IN THIS MINE AT A LOCAL INTEREST IS HARD TO FIND, THEY MUST KNOW THE VALUE AND WHAT IT CAN DO FOR THE WORLD. Moose Cree First Nation Survey Regarding South Bluff Creek
This is not a ratification vote for a mine. Survey now closed.

Open only to Moose Cree members aged 18 years and older. Please limit one response per member.

This survey is an opportunity for Moose Cree First Nation members to provide input to Chief and Council about the potential uses of South Bluff Creek. NioBay is not currently seeking to build a mine, but rather to do tests that will provide more information about what the costs and benefits of a mine would be. NioBay has made a legally binding commitment that it will not proceed to build a mine in the future without the support of Moose Cree First Nation.

Decisions about resource development in the Moose Cree Homeland are major decisions that must be made by the Moose Cree First Nation membership. Chief and Council’s role is to ensure that members have the best information possible to make an informed decision. Early exploration allows both proponents and our members to make informed decisions about further development. Early exploration has been occurring near South Bluff Creek for decades without any significant environmental impacts. If a mine is proposed in the future, however, there would be environmental impacts on our Homeland and also economic benefits. We do not know yet what either the impacts or the benefits would be.

Some community members have expressed the view that South Bluff Creek is a special area that should be specially protected and off-limits from all mining and industrial development, no matter how small the impacts or how big the benefits might be. Like a decision to permit development, a decision to specially protect an area of the Moose Cree Homeland is a decision that can only be made by our membership collectively. The Moose Cree First Nation membership as a collective has never been directly consulted on that question. This survey is intended to be the beginning of that conversation.

Chief and Council and the community will use the survey information to help decide whether it is worthwhile to continue to invest our time and energy into that proposed project to determine what environmental protections and economic benefits it could secure for the membership. We will also feed this survey information into our thinking about the South Bluff area in our land use planning exercise (which is ongoing).

The survey has now been closed. Thank you to our members that have shared their opin

Since this date, we have continued our efforts with local authorities and members of the MCFN community as well as with the Ontario government to resume normal operations. NioBay has a mining lease, a valid exploration permit and an agreement with MCFN to carry out this second drilling campaign. However, NioBay will return and is ready to return to the field as soon as it obtains a guarantee that it can complete its work without interruption.

Pending further drilling in Ontario, the Company will take advantage of the other projects in its portfolio and advance exploration initiatives.

Crevier Project

NioBay continued its metallurgical work to optimize the economics of this project. With the assistance of the Quebec government, a series of metallurgical tests were conducted at COREM in 2021. Based on the success of these tests, they continued into 2022 and are currently in progress at the SGS laboratories in Quebec City. The results of this work will allow us to update our preliminary economic study (PEA), previously released in 2020.

The objective of the Crevier Project is to produce a niobium oxide and a tantalum oxide. Given the advances in the use of niobium in batteries, the Crevier Project, with its niobium oxide, has never been more relevant. Moreover, since this project’s PEA was released, the price of tantalum has risen by $30,000 per metric ton.

Gouin Project

NioBay optioned two properties from Les Ressources Tectonic inc. (press release of May 10, 2021) and conducted a series of exploration works in the summer of 2021. The results of the work identified 2 targets on the Gouin West property and 6 targets on the Gouin East property showing niobium potential. NioBay intends to continue its exploration work during the summer and fall of 2022 to further investigate the identified targets. Details of this exploration campaign will be presented later in the quarter.

Resource reallocation

NioBay will take advantage of the opportunities available to it with its various properties located in Quebec. As such, the Company will make changes to the allocation of financial and human resources to maximize its financial flexibility. With this in mind, we have terminated the consulting agreement with Derek Teevan, Vice-President, ESG & Communities and thank him for his services. As at March 31, 2022, the Company has approximately $9.0 million of cash on hand.

About NioBay Metals Inc.

NioBay is a company focused on exploration, development and use of critical green metals with an Environmentally, Sustainable, Governance, and Indigenous (ESGI) focus.

The Company holds a 100% interest in the James Bay Niobium Project located 45 km south of Moosonee, in the MCFN Traditional Territory of the James Bay Lowlands in Ontario. NioBay also holds a 72.5% interest in the Crevier Niobium and Tantalum Project located in Quebec and on the Nitassinan territory of the Pekuakamiulnuatsh First Nation.

About Niobium

Niobium is a naturally occurring element. It is a readily available, reliable, soft metal that is ductile, malleable, and highly resistant to corrosion. Because it enhances properties and functionalities, niobium is used in a wide range of materials and applications in the Mobility, Structural and Energy sectors. Niobium transforms materials. When added to materials like steel, glass and aluminum castings, niobium makes them smarter and lower environmental impacts, while also delivering other benefits like better performance, improved safety, and increased value.

TO LEAD WITH NO RESULTS: April 4, 2022
Dear shareholder,
Following our decision to suspend drilling and exploration activities at our James Bay Niobium Project based on a letter
received from the council of the Moose Cree First Nation (“MCFN”), I would like to update you on the latest development.
Firstly, all of our effort have been and continue to be made in the best interest of shareholders and for the future of
NioBay.
? Following the letter, we were able to have a meeting with MCFN negotiation team. Following this meeting, we
tabled a letter asking them to support our return to the field to complete our drilling campaign.
? Originally, we had planned to stop for the goose-hunting break in April 2022. Therefore, the program was
suspended two weeks earlier then expected.
? It is now the hunting season and our camp has been put on care and maintenance.
? We have stated to the negotiation team, that our priority is to return and complete the drilling program as
originally agreed on. However, we are also evaluating all options available to NioBay (a modified drill program,
exploration on other existing NioBay properties, potential target properties, etc.)
? Over the last two weeks we have held discussions with the officials of several Ministries, including the Premiere’s
office. We all trying to find the best-negotiated solution with MCFN.
? We feel that there is a sincere interest from the Ontario Government in our project as it fits well with their recent
announcement on sritical minerals.
? Ontario’s Open for Business
? We will increase direct contact with MCFN members therefore going around the Council in order for the MCFN
members to have access to all information they require.
Keep in mind that NioBay has a mining lease and an exploration permit in good standing and an Environmental protection
agreement with MCFN in place.
The James Bay Niobium Project has demonstrated its strong potential based on the information we were able to obtain
so far (a PEA was completed in 2021). It is extremely rare to find this metal in the quantities discovered to date. There are
only 3 niobium mines in operation in the world. Niobium is used primarily in steel, of which Ontario is a major producer,
and recently in some batteries and electronic components.
We will keep you informed of developments.
Thank you for your support.
Jean-Sebastien David
President and Chief Executive Officer

NioBay Metals suspends exploration at the James Bay Niobium Project

MONTREAL, March 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NioBay Metals Inc. ("NioBay" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NBY) (OTCQB: NBYCF), a Company focused on the exploration, development and use of critical “green” metals with a priority on the Environment, Social, Governance and Indigenous participation (ESGI), received today a letter from the Moose Cree First Nation (“MCFN”). This letter announced the result of a small survey of the population which indicated an intent to preserve the South Bluff Creek area from any development. That area is where NioBay’s mining lease for its critical mineral project, the James Bay Niobium, is located and where drilling activities are currently ongoing. Based on the results of this survey, the MCFN requested a meeting with NioBay regarding ceasing its permitted exploration.

NioBay is therefore suspending all exploration activities immediately on the James Bay Niobium Project until a meeting with MCFN can be held. Meanwhile, the Board of Directors is evaluating all options available to the Company at this point.

NioBay has repeatedly stated that it would not build a mine without the consent of the MCFN community. This project is still in the exploration phase and the Company does not yet have information as to whether an economic operation may be viable at this location. The Company will present the results of its exploration work when this information is available.

NioBay Metals confirms commencement of drilling at James Bay Niobium
V.NBY | February 23, 2022
MONTREAL, Feb. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NioBay Metals Inc. (“NioBay” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NBY) (OTCQB: NBYCF), a Company focused on the exploration, development and use of critical “green” metals with a priority on the Environment, Social, Governance and Indigenous participation (ESGI), is pleased to announce that Forage G4 Drilling (“G4”), with the support of Expedition Helicopters (“Expedition”) and Expedition Camps and Logistics has completed the mobilisation of the first drill rig and commenced drilling of its 15,000 to 20,000 meter exploration drill program (the “Program”) at its James Bay Niobium Project. The three companies are in joint ventures with Moose Cree First Nation (“MCFN”) registered businesses.
NioBay received the exploration drilling permit on January 8, 2021 to drill up to 20,000 meters. The Program is expected to last 12-15 weeks and will pause in April to respect the goose hunting season. The program is primarily an infill drill program which will be used to maximize the conversion of resources from the inferred to indicated category, as required for prefeasibility reporting. Additionally, the Program will target a potentially high-grade zone to the north in an unexplored zone at vertical depths between 200 and 400 metres.

Word from the CEO
“We are excited to be on the ground with this exploration program. This program will allow us to better understand and better define this deposit. In addition to exploration, we have listened to the community in regards to the need to undertake environmental baseline studies to ensure our exploration and any future work by NioBay will have an unmitigated impact on the environment. This information will be used by either Niobay or MCFN to help make future decisions”, commented Jean-Sébastien David, President and CEO of NioBay.

The drill program was based on the historical exploration data and the Company's surface trenching and sampling program. Several historical drill hole collars were also located on the Property which helped in location and orientation of drill holes for the current program. The drilling work was contracted to Forage Hebert Inc. Drilling of Amos, Quebec. A B-20 drill rig was deployed which has a capacity to drill up to 1,000-meter-deep hole. A total of 32 NQ size diamond drill holes were completed on the Property with a cumulative drilling of 5,847.15 metres. A core shack was built at the village of St-Dominique du Rosaire located about 50km from the Property for drill core logging, sample preparation and storage. The drill core was logged and sampled at the core shack using a rock saw. For quality control and quality assurance (QA/QC), field duplicates, standards and blanks were inserted at industry standard intervals.

The samples were bagged and tagged using best practices and were delivered to Activation Laboratories ("ACTLABS"), Ancaster, Ontario for sample preparation and analyses using laboratories code Ultratrace 7 and sodium peroxide fusion (Na2O2) as summarized below. ACTLABS is an independent commercial, accredited ISO Certified Laboratory.



Code Ultratrace 7 – Peroxide Fusion – ICP and ICP/MS

Samples are fused with sodium peroxide in a Zirconium crucible. The fused sample is acidified with concentrated nitric and hydrochloric acids. The resulting solutions are diluted and then measured by ICP-OES and ICP-MS. All metals are solubilized.



ICP-MS

Fused samples are diluted and analyzed by Agilent 7900 ICP-MS. Calibration is performed using five synthetic calibration standards. A set of (10-20) fused certified reference material is run with every batch of samples for calibration and quality control. Fused duplicates are run every 10 samples.



ICP-OES

Samples are analyzed with a minimum of 10 certified reference materials for the required analytes, all prepared by sodium peroxide fusion. Every 10th sample is prepared and analyzed in duplicate; a blank is prepared every 30 samples and analyzed. Samples are analyzed using a Varian 735ES ICP and internal standards are used as part of the standard operating procedure.

[bHello Robert,
No, the project is not in production or construction yet.
What we have done and what we are doing is to accelerate our metallurgical work / pilote test work.
To move the project at a PF stage we need to do infield drilling (starting in November), to start the environmental base line study (already started) . This is requested before the permitting .

Claude is still around but he will look more downstream (a good fit with the mining project)
Best regards
JS David
