Frustrating???? PC, stop giving management a pass. They have failed the retail investors miserably.

They would have been better off offering 200 million (20 million post split) shares on the open market 3 years ago and gotten much further than we are now and have less dilution.

Mark Smith has failed to deliver any substantial financing and he continues to blow smoke up everyone’s arse! It’s time for him to go elsewhere and get someone to close. Mark isn’t it

The frustrating part is that they've known for 2 to 3 years that they need a feasibility study and have yet to be able to raise money for one. It's entirely possible at this point they might not finish it until 2026.

I know it is frustrating, but would rather NB be prepared and know what they will do if further drilling ultimately is required, and not just spend the $$$$$$ to do more drilling unless it is absolutely necessary.

Sorry Prudent-my bad...... I didn't read that well enough the first time you sent it....so, net net... it looks like regardless of whether additional drilling needed or not- it will still be a 9 month period to update/release the Feasability Study...... sheeeez, you woulda thought that one of our GX corporate raiders could have temporarily ponied up a few million to get us thru the FS stage until the financing came in....... which could have saved us 6-9 months..... but it looks like the GX 'Raiders are looking for a big windfall without much skin in the game..... sharks! Greed is Good Gekko......

Yes, I had read all that previously. The pertinent language: "Annually review and make recommendations to the independent directors on the Board regarding the corporate goals and objectives applicable to the compensation of the CEO and evaluate at least annually the CEO’s performance in light of those goals and objectives." It would be nice to know what the actual goals are.

I haven't looked at last year's AGM documents to see if the same language was used. This is what I mentioned in my original post--from the current AGM documents: "... the Company’s executive compensation program is designed appropriately and is working effectively to help ensure that the Company compensates its named executive officers for the achievement of performance goals that will enhance shareholder value."

If this was the same language as last year, were the performance goals met that enhance shareholder value? Judging by the dilution and current share price it's hard for me to imagine that the established goals were met. Did this affect executive compensation? I can go on but I think I've made my point about what appears to be both an executive performance failure and a BOD oversight failure. Granted, I don't know what the actual goals were and I don't know what the compensation committee discussed. But, I do know that shareholder value has not been enhanced.

NCT: I have already covered that issue more than once and have posted here a number of times that it is my understanding that there is no current requirement or mandate for additional drilling, including the response from Jim Sims below on November 22, 2024:
EXIM has not yet made a final decision on whether or not they would like to see us conduct some additional drilling sufficient to move a portion of our probable reserves to proven reserves. If they do request this, we can complete that drilling campaign in about 12 weeks, and that drilling will not impact the time for completion of the Feasibility Study update, which is estimated between 6-9 months. Regardless, we are seeking funding from the U.S. Department of Defense sufficient to cover both the costs of completing the requisite Feasibility Study-level work that EXIM requires and the costs of the additional drilling.

We will publicly announce any material developments on DoD funding, a Stellantis offtake agreement, and other ongoing initiatives when they occur.

Best,

Compensation is a related issue. I am talking about performance, especially as pertains to increasing shareholder value. In my past, I had performance goals and metrics that I was evaluated according to. And, I have done annual reviews where I would hold others to the performance metrics that were part of their established goals. So, what are the performance goals that are referenced in the proxy materials? Who on the BOD is holding the executive team accountable for meeting or not meeting these performance goals? Sure does look like a performance failure and an oversight failure as regards performance goals related to improving share holder value.

Prudent-Thank you for sending these questions to Jim! I was hoping Jim would answer the question about whether the additional work (additional drilling to prove 'probable' element assets to to 'actual' reserves, and what does 'close' mean?? a.) close to procuring financing for the additional drilling and DD necessary to satisfy the prerequisites for the application or b.) no extra DD required, financing for the work necessary to issue the updated FS or c.) something else
Since you seem to have the ability to get responses from Jim, can you see if he can answer these questions, all of which are straightforward and critical for investors to know.... in order to make informed investment decisions...

I sent all of NCT's questions to Jim sims in an e-mail, and his responses are set out below in red:

Jim:

A few timely questions if you are able to respond substantively:


First: What are the potential ramifications for NioCorp regarding the potential Agreement with Ukraine for critical minerals and REE’s?

Virtually zero, other than his focus will soon shift more to the domestic mining side once he realizes that, even if he gets some form of mining or resource concessions there, it will be many years before any private company is willing to do exploratory work on land that is littered with unexploded ordinance and where the Russians are still within rocket and artillery range.

Second: How are you and the Executive team viewing the replacement in leadership at EXIM? I know Mark and the rest had a very strong relationship with the former Chair. Are the changes viewed positively for NioCorp?

Yes, on several levels, but I cannot comment on those at this point, given that John is awaiting Senate confirmation and interactions have to be very carefully done.

And Third: Are you able to give an update on where we are with financing to begin or complete an updated BFS?

Close.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1512228/000153949725000278/n2574_x244-def14a.htm

The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Michael J. Morris, as Chair, David C. Beling, Nilsa Guerrero-Mahon, and Dean C. Kehler, all of whom are independent directors. None of the members of the Compensation Committee has been one of our officers or employees at any time. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Compensation Committee met two times. A copy of the Compensation Committee’s Charter is available on the Company’s website at www.niocorp.com.

The Compensation Committee’s general duties and responsibilities are to, among other things:

• Review the Company’s executive compensation programs to ensure the attraction, retention and appropriate reward of executive officers;

• Annually review and make recommendations to the independent directors on the Board regarding the corporate goals and objectives applicable to the compensation of the CEO and evaluate at least annually the CEO’s performance in light of those goals and objectives;

• Review and recommend the approval of the CEO’s compensation level to the independent directors of the Board;

• Review and approve, for the Company’s executive officers other than the CEO, annual compensation for such officers;

• Make recommendations to the Board on director compensation and compensation for the Chairman of the Board position;

• Review and administer the Company’s equity and non-equity incentive compensation and other plans;

• Assist the Board in overseeing the development, implementation, and effectiveness of the Company’s strategies and policies regarding human resources and talent management; and

• Review the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices.

The Compensation Committee may delegate all or a portion of its duties and responsibilities to a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee and may delegate to an officer authority to approve grants and awards, and the terms and conditions of such grants and awards, under any of the Company’s equity incentive-based plans to the extent expressly provided in such plans. A more complete description of the duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee is set out in the Compensation Committee’s Charter.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, Michael J. Morris, David C. Beling, Dean C. Kehler, and Nilsa Guerrero-Mahon served on the Compensation Committee. None of these individuals was an employee or an officer of the Company during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, was formerly an officer of the Company, or had any relationship with the Company requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. In addition, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, none of our executive officers served on the compensation committee or full board of any company for which any of Messrs. Morris, Beling, or Kehler or Ms. Guerrero-Mahon (or any of the Company’s other directors) served as an executive officer.

You can vote for each BOD member individually. I wonder if we can actually cast GXII out for good. I see no reason for them to be on the BOD. They will still get their money if this actually takes off, but they have brought nothing the table besides abject regret.

I'm not actually faulting them, our people were the ones that actually believed the GX shareholders would not immediately redeem their shares and head for the hills. That was pretty wild. I would be less embarrassed to show up at the emergency room with something stuck.

I was reviewing the proxy documents prior to voting and noted the following: "... the Company’s executive compensation program is designed appropriately and is working effectively to help ensure that the Company compensates its named executive officers for the achievement of performance goals that will enhance shareholder value."
I bolded the part that drew my attention. Does anyone know the specifics about what the performance goals are for each executive? I didn't find the specific goals detailed but maybe I missed them.

Of course, it raises the question as to what the performance goals were for the last annual cycle and whether these goals were met or not.

While I don't think the lack of transparency around these internal metrics is unusual, I would need to be convinced that these lofty sounding statements about performance goals have any true substance. Does the Board of Directors hold the performance reviews of the various executives? Does Mark, as a director, recuse himself from evaluating his own performance as an executive?

So, if all of the company executives are meeting the performance goals that the company and board sets, why has shareholder value plummeted and why does the project remains stalled? To say performance goals that will enhance shareholder value and not deliver actual performance that enhances shareholder value points to failure to meet the performance goals. I understand goals can be aspirational, but talk is cheap. It is well past time to get past the financing finish line and start construction on Elk Creek. Results matter.

As an aside, I wouldn't be shocked if Zelensky overstated the realistic value knowing it would involve long-term deep-pocket investment in his war torn country, which was already one of the poorest in Europe, and will need significant rebuilding, as he was the one who first floated the idea (that he's now balking at).

Zelensky first included the offer of an agreement on minerals in the so-called "victory plan" that he presented to Trump last September.

Thanks, Richard. Just sharing what I find out there in the public space. While the headline was likely clickbait for anti-Trumpers, I thought they did a fairly good job of balancing that out stating, yeah, there are REMs there, they're just hard to get to and will require significant investment. They also had a link to another article that went more in depth and identifies resources in Ukraine, but interestingly doesn't mention niobium, scandium, neodymium or praseodymium.

https://www.intellinews.com/what-does-ukraine-have-to-offer-the-deal-loving-trump-to-get-his-support-353512/
Ukraine is home to the largest reserves of uranium in Europe; the second-largest reserves of iron ore, titanium and manganese; and the third largest reserves of shale gas, the Washington Post reported. It also has large deposits of the hard-to-find lithium, graphite and other rare earth metals, according to a 2022 report by the Canadian geopolitical risk-analysis firm SecDev.
And then there's this:

https://meta.eeb.org/2022/07/27/a-materials-war-ukraine-and-the-race-for-resources/
A part of the 3 to 11.5 trillion dollars worth of resources in Ukraine is now under Russian boots. This includes elements such as tantalum and niobium that are used for green(er) technologies as well as aviation, transportation and construction. As the amounts of elements like tantalum and niobium are state secrets, it is hard to estimate how much of it is now in Russian hands, but these materials are found in Donetsk and south of Zaporizhzhia, which are occupied by Putin’s invading army.
A lot of moving parts here.

Can someone who has a good working relationship with Jim S. (he doesn't answer me anymore.... crickets..... )
Ask Jim:
- What NB's stance is regarding the Ukraine critical mineral deal - and how it might affect NB's plight.....
- What does the replacement of EXIM top management mean for NB's application? i.e., speedier phase 2 approvals possibly? is it viewed by NB management as an encouraging development in the uber-slow EXIM approval process?
- How far are we from possibly getting financing for the FS publishing piece?

We should be able to get responses from Jim Simms, that is his job as IR Director, h'e making $350K to deal with shareholders, not sure if or what else they are doing on a daily basis back in Centennial- while waiting for the EXIM phase approvals and FINANCING!?

Please have Jim weigh in on these questions- It's his job!!

Ukraine is indeed rich in rare earth minerals,which are essential for modern technology and various industries. According to research, Ukraine has significant deposits of rare earth elements (REEs) such as lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, erbium, and yttrium12. These elements are used in various applications, including TVs, lighting, wind turbines, electric vehicle batteries, nuclear power, and lasers12.

Additionally, Ukraine has reserves of other critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, scandium, graphite, tantalum, and niobium1. These minerals are crucial for the production of devices for green energy and other advanced technologies1.

The presence of these minerals has been well-documented and proven through various studies and reports. Ukraine's reserves of these critical minerals account for approximately 5% of the world's total reserves.

Ukraine doesn't have any rare earth metals, and the strategic minerals it does have are not worth trillions of dollars

https://www.intellinews.com/ukraine-doesn-t-have-any-rare-earth-metals-and-the-strategic-minerals-it-does-have-are-not-worth-trillions-of-dollars-368472/
There is currently a lot of confusion over US President Donald Trump’s proposed $500bn deal to gain control over Ukraine’s rare earth metals wealth. The problem is that Ukraine doesn’t have any rare earth minerals; it has a lot of “strategically important metals” like lithium. That is true. But actual rare earth metals? No. Almost none.

At the danger of nitpicking, rare earth metals (REMs) are a group of 17 elements in the periodic table, consisting of the 15 lanthanides (including neodymium, dysprosium, terbium, scandium and yttrium), which are very useful, as they enable the production of sophisticated electronics thanks to the conductivity quirks of their chemical bonds when used in combination with more traditional materials.
A deep dive by Bloomberg Opinion columnist Javier Blas, released on February 19, went into the distinction between the two and undermined Trump’s assumption that Ukraine holds trillion of dollars of valuable minerals.

“What Ukraine has is scorched earth; what it doesn’t have is rare earths. Surprisingly, many people – not least, US President Donald Trump – seem convinced the country has a rich mineral endowment. It’s a folly,” Blas wrote.
There is even a question mark over the economic viability of mining what rare earth metals Ukraine has. One of the few confirmed REM deposits is at Novopoltavske (tantalum, niobium, strontium and magnetite), which was discovered by the Soviets in the 1970s, but even the government says it is “hard to extract” and has remained fallow since then.

Probably will not hear much about the cyber incident. They disclosed it and that's the end of it. Exim moved a little bit into some more waiting and analysis, and we are still broke except for some dilutive can kicking. The cyber incident is the very least of our worries. Unfortunately, I see the cyber incident as another excuse later if they need one.

Bigger question, does RPMGLobal need the FS to complete their independent review? One would think that would be pretty important documentation to have during that process. I'm sure "they do not" until quietly "they do". Can that be funded yet and by who?

Again, as usual, we seem to be the Rodney Dangerfield of the mining industry....as 'We get no respect'... probably due to the way Molycorp was walked away from during Bankruptcy 10+ yrs. ago and the NB shareholders might be paying for that.... without even knowing about the history on that one.....
Still 'Radio Silence' from the IR office...... as usual, NB shareholders are left to wonder and reset the '9 month clock' after the last PR regarding changing out upper level mgmt. at EXIM a few weeks ago...... how will that affect NB? How will the possible Ukraine elements affect NB's future? where are we at with the changing landscape???

Sure would be nice to know if any other work is going on in advance of getting financing for the FS publishing phase of the project...... or does the clock 'restart once they drop some financing on us... and then NB still needs to start from scratch on the DD and extra drilling?? or is the extra drilling requirement off the table now with new EXIM Executive Mgmt....??? why are we always in the dark? it's like we are in the bottom of the mine shaft with no lights on and wondering when the next RaiVeyor car is going to come by??? mushroom land......

Mining for Defense: Unlocking the Potential for U.S.-Canada Collaboration on Critical Minerals

In-depth brief talks about niobium at length. rare earths, scandium, neodymium, praseodymium, mining, processing, refining, recycling, problems with financing small projects, etc. etc.
While this mostly focuses on projects in Canada, and and even mentions a couple of projects still in exploration (Aley Project, Mactung Project), it does mention the Jervois cobalt mine in Idaho and the TempiuteTungsten Mine and Mill in Nevada, but no mention of Nebraska or NioCorp despite niobium being mentioned 22 times.
