Process enhancements to NioCorp’s critical minerals project plans point to possible CAPEX and OPEX reductions and possible lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Peter Oliver, the former Managing Director of Talison Lithium, recently sat down to talk about his three+ decades in the global mining industry, what attracted him to NioCorp, how he sees the evolution of the electric vehicle industry, what he sees as the potential of adding rare earths to NioCorp’s Elk Creek Project production, and the challenges that all mining projects face with project financing.
NioCorp Developments Ltd. is pleased to announce that Peter Oliver, the former Managing Director of Talison Lithium and a 30+ year veteran of the mining and critical minerals processing industries, will join NioCorp’s Board of Directors.
An updated feasibility study of NioCorp’s Elk Creek Project shows that the Project is the second-largest indicated-or-better rare earth resource in the U.S., second only to MP Materials’ Mountain Pass rare earth deposit. (TSX: NB; OTCQX: NIOBF)
The Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy has advised NioCorp that extensions of the Elk Creek Project’s construction air permit are no longer required because the Company has met the regulatory definition of “construction, reconstruction, or modification of the source” since the permit was issued.
