Non-viable, non-commercializable mineral rights generally don't get financed and don't become operating mines. They remain low-cost mineral rights that get leased to unknown, low-quality entities for low lease terms - just like Elk Creek. They are used by the low-tier lessees as a story to use to raise funds from unsophisticated investors and sell them shares, while the low-tier insiders gett paid and live well whilst often also self-dealing, like MARK SMITH did and does with tricks like risk-free, high-interest bridge loans made to the company and free stock grants, all while being well-paid salarywise and full benefits and, most fun of all, a virtually unlimited expense account - including travel and entertainment.
Being a pennyscam CEO is a great gig! All you need is a cheap, non-viable business CONcept you can tout and fool ignorant, unsophisticated pennyvestors into buying shares and giving you their money, directly via PPs or indirectly by retail purchases on the open market. Then, just gett them to hold onto the depreciating shares while you dilute and gett more munny to pay yourself.
It's a real good gig. There are tons of non-viable businesses and non-commercializable mineral rights around that can be acquired cheaply because they are worth little to nothing as a base for a profitable business. Like Elk Creek. They are useful only as a story to sell shares to retail suckers.
Winning - a viable, profitable business - is nott a goal because it is nott possible. The goal is to keep the scam running - for years and years - and keep printing and selling shares. That is the game. And that is the game with Niocorp Developments. The years tick by and the goalposts keep getting moved back and back, all the while printing and selling shares - because THAT is the name of this game.
Welcome to Pennyscamland!!!

Ukraine, Greenland, et al. will have ZERO effect on Niocorp. Niocorp and Elk Creek are not commercially viable - it is not a feasible mine plan, which is why it is not, and will not be, financed. Further, Elk Creek is unlikely to be mined by anyone, certainly not anytime within the lives of anyone alive today plus 21 years. This is why it was so cheap to lease. And it would be cheap to renew the leases, because there is no interest in Elk Creek among the real commercial miners, public or private.
So relax. Whatever happens in the world outside of Elk Creek regarding rare earths or semi-rare element mining will have exactly no impact on the non-business of Niocorp, the sole business of which is printing and selling shares.
Mark Smith retires with the bundle of loot he has skimmed from promulgating this goofy story grift.
No bigg deal. There are many pennyturds just like Niobagg. This turd will be forgotten soon enough. The fundamental, intrinsic value of Niocorp is zero; it is not even close to being a financeable, commercially-viable project. It makes about as much commercial sense as planning to drill for oil on Molokai or Maui.

AI is ready to join the high-stakes hunt for critical minerals
Geologists are turning to AI to find and mine the minerals that power EVs
https://thelogic.co/news/shift/geologists-ai-critical-minerals-evs/
Canadian AI is helping the critical mineral industry get metals out of the ground—and into EVs.
Vancouver-based Vrify Technology just raised $12.5 million in a series B round, led by New York VC firm LGVP. The company, which uses artificial intelligence to help geologists discover mineral deposits, says it is already breaking even. But it’s expanding its business as the mining sector approaches its “ChatGPT moment,” said CEO Steve de Jong in an interview.
The hope is that AI will help small exploration companies narrow down high-value deposits and give investors information that would be costly to obtain by manual drilling alone.
VRIFY Lands $12.5M Series B to Advance DORA, the World's First AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/vrify-lands-12-5m-series-150000055.html
The investment will accelerate industry-wide adoption of DORA, the world's leading AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform. VRIFY has designed DORA as a sector-wide R&D tool, uniquely placing the platform directly into the hands of the geologists and geoscientists tasked with finding the minerals the world needs to feed supply chains, secure borders, and build energy solutions.
Is NioCorp using AI? Maybe we should call this company, they're in Vancouver too!

I agree with you for the most part, especially
ovvver, and ovvver, and ovvver here.
In the beginning, Being overly bullish on Mark and his bull-board cronies makes me an idiot (I’m still one in that regard). I can’t figure out why he still running the company. And because he is, and the Board of Directors seem to think he’s doing everything right giving him raises all the time, makes me even more of an idiot.
They should fire him and then fire themselves for what they have done to shareholders.
Which came first the chicken or the egg? The feasibility study or the technical report?
I agree the market doesn’t know shit, but that doesn’t mean the market doesn’t move on its own, due to perception and speculation.
That big surge to $2.90 is not the Bullish end. When the bulls start buying again, and they will, they can easily push it back up to $2.90 without News but news needs to come to get us past that point.

This is not bashing or negativity. This is just the status quo here. You get some news, you get the bump, the peasants rejoice for a short time, then the silence settles in, then reality comes back. We start getting NRs about someday projects and news snippets the CEO wrote. That is not news. at all. It has happened ovvver, and ovvver, and ovvver here.
The big difference is we have a shot at some sort of big news now more than we did before. The global mineral talk and saber rattling has goosed the sector. Thats great, BUT do we have an actual harvestable resource regardless of "proven reserves"? Nothing has pointed to the positive there, but what was not palatable before might be OK now regardless of cost or difficulty. Its going good right? Thats what we said to the US Senate in person years ago now. So we are going good right?!
We don't know what is in the nebula. Do we need a big cash raise for the FS? Is the FS holding up RPMGlobal? Does the new administration actually want to move fast on building elk creek? Do we have to go through the entire exim process still? Just how important is the (as far as we know) un-funded FS? We just don't know and neither does the market.
