Non-viable, non-commercializable mineral rights generally don't get financed and don't become operating mines. They remain low-cost mineral rights that get leased to unknown, low-quality entities for low lease terms - just like Elk Creek. They are used by the low-tier lessees as a story to use to raise funds from unsophisticated investors and sell them shares, while the low-tier insiders gett paid and live well whilst often also self-dealing, like MARK SMITH did and does with tricks like risk-free, high-interest bridge loans made to the company and free stock grants, all while being well-paid salarywise and full benefits and, most fun of all, a virtually unlimited expense account - including travel and entertainment.
Being a pennyscam CEO is a great gig! All you need is a cheap, non-viable business CONcept you can tout and fool ignorant, unsophisticated pennyvestors into buying shares and giving you their money, directly via PPs or indirectly by retail purchases on the open market. Then, just gett them to hold onto the depreciating shares while you dilute and gett more munny to pay yourself.
It's a real good gig. There are tons of non-viable businesses and non-commercializable mineral rights around that can be acquired cheaply because they are worth little to nothing as a base for a profitable business. Like Elk Creek.
Winning - a viable, profitable business - is nott a goal because it is nott possible. The goal is to keep the scam running - for years and years - and keep printing and selling shares. That is the game. And that is the game with Niocorp Developments. The years tick by and the goalposts keep getting moved back and back, all the while printing and selling shares - because THAT is the name of this game.

Even before that, right now Musk is being tutored by 4 -1 = 3 young studs who are scouring through financial data, and while there they found excess in the word warrant. They removed the R’s and one A, changing the dynamics while allowing it to remain a word, but shortens any sentence it is in, making it a smaller carbon foot print.
Also realizing no regulations required in wanting to exercise.
TH6565 warrants to exercise becomes
TH6565 wants to exercise
Less dilution too.

Niobium has strong potential as a key element for the future due to its unique properties and growing applications in various advanced technologies. Here’s why it could play a major role:
1. Superconductors & Energy Efficiency
• Niobium is a critical material for superconductors, which are used in MRI machines, quantum computing, and particle accelerators.
• High-temperature superconducting wires made with niobium could revolutionize energy grids, reducing power loss and enabling more efficient electricity transmission.
2. Next-Gen Batteries & Energy Storage
• Niobium is being explored as an alternative to lithium in fast-charging, longer-lasting batteries.
• Niobium-based anodes in batteries could improve charging speed, durability, and safety, making them ideal for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage.
3. Aerospace & Hypersonic Applications
• Niobium alloys are used in rocket engines, jet turbines, and spacecraft due to their high strength and heat resistance.
• It is a key material in future hypersonic vehicles that require extreme durability under high temperatures.
4. Green Energy & Hydrogen Economy
• Niobium is being tested for hydrogen storage materials, which could accelerate the adoption of clean hydrogen energy.
• It is used in wind turbines and solar panels, improving their durability and efficiency.
5. Structural & Automotive Advancements
• Niobium-steel alloys make vehicles, bridges, and buildings lighter, stronger, and more resistant to corrosion.
• Using niobium in EV frames can reduce weight and improve energy efficiency.
Challenges & Availability
• Niobium is relatively rare, with most of the world’s supply coming from Brazil.
• Its mining and processing need to scale up sustainably to meet future demand.
Verdict: Is Niobium the Element of the Future?
Yes, niobium has strong potential to be a future-defining material, especially in energy storage, superconductors, aerospace, and green technologies. While it may not replace lithium or rare earth metals entirely, its unique properties make it a crucial element for next-gen innovations.

According to 10q there are 50,752,150 class a and b shares outstanding plus 33,430,00 options and warrants. About half of those have little chance of ever being exercised though imo.
Still, close to 700,000,000 pre-split before equity financing.
