NioCorp Developments Ltd. has announced its ambitious Elk Creek Project in Nebraska, a fully permitted $1.14 billion underground mine focusing on critical minerals such as niobium, scandium, titanium, and potentially rare earth oxides. These materials are essential for clean energy, aerospace, and defense sectors. The project is set to establish America's first mine-to-market scandium supply chain, supported by a U.S. Department of Defense grant and an $800 million U.S. Export-Import Bank debt financing application. With a projected 38-year mine life and robust economic prospects, NioCorp is positioned to advance construction on one of North America's most strategic critical minerals projects, offering long-term value for shareholders as global demand for secure mineral supply chains intensifies.
