ABOUT NIOCORP
NioCorp is developing the Elk Creek Project which is expected to produce niobium, scandium and titanium. The company is also evaluating the potential to produce several rare earth metals through the Elk Creek Project. Niobium is used to produce specialty alloys and high-strength, low-alloy steels, a lighter and stronger steel used in automotive, construction and pipeline applications. Scandium is a special metal that can be combined with aluminum to create alloys with increased strength and improved corrosion resistance. Scandium is also a crucial component of advanced solid oxide fuel cells. Titanium is used in several lightweight alloys and is a key component of pigments used in paper, paint and plastics and is also used for aerospace applications, armor plating and medical implants. Magnetic rare earth metals, such as neodymium, praseodymium, terbium and dysprosium, are critical for making neodymium-iron-boron magnets, which are used in a wide range of defense and civilian applications.
