$NB For all of us waiting on Ex/Im approval, here is the process. The Elk Creek project was favorably received and has been posted on the Ex/Im website as a Pending Category A project since Nov 2023. They must COMPLETE an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA). The ESIA MUST MEET ALL KINDS OF REQUIREMENTS. NioCorp has engaged numerous consultants to get this work done. As we all know, THIS WORK IS PROGRESSING, BUT ITS PAINFULLY SLOW. Once the ESIA is complete and presented to Ex/Im, it must be made available to the public for a 30 day comment period BEFORE the Ex/Im Board considers Final Approval. It seems to me that Mark needs to be accountable to his Board and to Investors for BOTH COMPLETING the ESIA and GAINING APPROVAL. So, GO FAST, BUT GET IT RIGHT - One bite at the apple! The time has come for Mark and NioCorp to share their thoughts in writing about WHEN the ESIA will be COMPLETE. A range in months would be acceptable, caveats are OK!
