As a result of this transaction, NioCorp now owns a full square mile of land where it plans to site both its underground critical minerals mine and its integrated surface processing facility, subject to the successful completion of project financing.

The Company retains multiple land purchase options on surrounding parcels to support potential future operations, additional mineral exploration activities, and expansion.

Smith said he deeply appreciate the fantastic support the compoany has received from local landowners and area residents over the years of the development of the project. He noted NioCorp is committed to being a responsible neighbor and to maintaining our working partnerships for many years to come.
