# NioCorp Developments Ltd. Advances Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project in Nebraska, Set to Begin Construction

> NioCorp Developments Ltd. is advancing the Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project in Nebraska, which will be the only U.S. project to produce niobium, scandium, titanium, and rare earths. The project is fully permitted for construction and has completed a Feasibility Study. It aims to reduce U.S. reliance on imported niobium, crucial for advanced steels and defense applications, thereby strengthening domestic supply chains.

NioCorp Developments Ltd. has announced its focus on the Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project in Nebraska, which is set to become the United States’ only critical minerals project containing niobium, scandium, titanium, and rare earths. The project is fully permitted to begin construction and has completed Feasibility Study-level metallurgy for its intended products. It has also established a Mineral Resource supported by a Regulation S-K 1300-compliant Technical Report Summary. Niobium, a key component of advanced steels and defense applications, is increasingly significant due to the U.S.’s complete reliance on imports of the mineral. The Elk Creek Project aims to reduce this dependency and solidify domestic supply chains.
