About NioCorp
NioCorp is developing a superalloy materials project in
Southeast Nebraska that will
produce Niobium, Scandium, and Titanium. The Company also is
evaluating the potential to produce several rare earth byproducts
from the Project. Niobium is used to produce superalloys as
well as High Strength, Low Alloy ("HSLA") steel, which is a
lighter, stronger steel used in automotive, structural, and
pipeline applications. Scandium is a superalloy material that can
be combined with Aluminum to make alloys with increased strength
and improved corrosion resistance. Scandium is also a critical
component of advanced solid oxide fuel cells. Titanium is used in
various superalloys and is a key component of pigments used in
paper, paint and plastics and is also used for aerospace
applications, armor, and medical implants. Magnetic rare
earths, such as Neodymium, Praseodymium, Terbium, and Dysprosium
are critical to the making of Neodymium-Iron-Boron ("NdFeB")
magnets, which are used across a wide variety of defense and
civilian applications.
