Strong Local Support for the Elk Creek Project
What do local Nebraskans think about NioCorp’s Elk Creek Superalloy Materials Project? Over the past several years as this Project has advanced, Nebraskans who live near the proposed facility, and those from all over the state, have continued to be outspoken in their support for this Project.

As the U.S. looks to repair crumbling infrastructure systems, I expect to see more high-performance steels (HPS) used in structures like bridges because of the many powerful benefits they deliver. HPS steels containing a small amount of ferroniobium – which NioCorp plans to produce in southeast Nebraska at our Elk Creek Superalloy Materials Project once we are funded and in operation – are among the strongest and most durable steels on the market today.
What A U.S. Infrastructure / Transportation Initiative Could Mean to Critical Minerals Producers
If a $2 trillion U.S. infrastructure package is enacted, it could create a major, long-term demand boom for the critical minerals needed by infrastructure and advanced transportation systems, according to NioCorp’s CEO Mark Smith.
