A message from the President & Chairman of @EximBankUS, Mr. @JJovanovicUSA during our 2025 Town Hall event in Nebraska today:
“The Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project is exactly the type of opportunity EXIM was designed to support.”

May has been a very busy and productive month on site at the #ElkCreekCriticalMineralsProject, with work continuing to take shape on the mine portal project.
Pre-construction work continues on establishing the mine's underground access, which will serve as the main entry point for personnel, equipment, and materials, and eventually the exit point for Elk Creek's ore.
We couldn't be more happy to see this project come together on the ground.

What if the West is misreading China’s #rareearth strategy?
NioCorp CEO Mark Smith makes the case in a @FoxNews op-ed that current REE export restrictions signal a permanent strategy shift, not a short-term tactic.

We are pleased to share that steady progress continues the on mine portal #construction our #ElkCreekCriticalMineralsProject in Nebraska.
Work is focused on establishing underground access, which will serve as the primary entry point for personnel, equipment, and materials as well as the exit point for our ore. This is a key early step as we advance the project toward full development.
We’ll continue to share more updates as work moves forward! $NB
From the Moon, Earth puts everything in perspective.
The same technologies that take us further into space rely on #criticalminerals sourced here at home.
This #EarthDay, we’re reflecting on why how we source and build here matters.

Nebraska has passed new #legislation that gives NioCorp more flexibility to qualify for ~US$200M in state tax benefits over 10 years.
This is tied to planned investment in the state and ~450 full-time jobs at the #ElkCreekProject, with broader economic benefits expected.
We appreciate the continued support from Gov. @TeamPillen and state legislators.

NioCorp has entered a non-binding agreement with #Traxys that, if finalized, would position us to sell all planned production from the #ElkCreekCriticalMineralsProject for the first 10 years of operations.
Traxys would serve as our global marketing partner across #niobium, #scandium, #titanium and #rareearths, and could also become a strategic investor.
Traxys is a key participant in #ProjectVault, a broader effort to strengthen #CriticalMineral supply chains. This progress also supports our ongoing @EximBankUS financing efforts.

The US imports 100% of the #niobium its needs today.
“The Department of War is very serious about having a US supplier of niobium so we bring everything onshore…”
#ElkCreekProject = America’s answer.
