Latest NB news & analysis

NioCorp: The Bear Case Is Real, But At $3 I'm Still Buying

Seeking Alpha · 24 Oct 2026negative

The Seeking Alpha article weighs four bearish arguments about NioCorp, noting its roughly $405 million in cash against a market valuation of about $444 million. It says rising capital needs are a priced risk, while concerns around scandium, dilution and EXIM partly hold; scandium accounts for 38% of study revenue, lacks a binding buyer, and the cited Chinese price is a quarter of the study price.

Why it matters — The article highlights uncertainty around scandium pricing and buyers, alongside capital, dilution and EXIM risks, for investors following NB.

NioCorp: The Market Is Paying About 50 Cents Above Cash For Elk Creek

Seeking Alpha · 20 Oct 2026positive

A Seeking Alpha article says NioCorp trades at a steep discount to Elk Creek’s stated after-tax NPV and notes the project’s projected EBITDA, IRR and 40-year life, alongside higher capital costs and financing risk. The article also presents its own valuation and share-price target.

Why it matters — The article’s assessment centers on the gap between its project valuation and the market valuation, while identifying financing and increased capex as important risks.

EXIM Reiterates Target to Finance Approximately 65% of Elk Creek Project Upfront CAPEX

Accesswire · 15 Oct 2026positive

EXIM reiterated its support for considering financing that could cover approximately 65% of the Elk Creek Project’s upfront construction CAPEX, subject to satisfactory completion of its due diligence review. The bank expects to advance due diligence toward Transaction Review Committee review as expeditiously as practicable.

Why it matters — The potential financing could address a substantial share of the project’s upfront construction costs, but remains subject to due diligence and committee review.
