Company Overview
NioCorp Developments is developing the Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project in Nebraska, a U.S. source of niobium, scandium, titanium, and magnetic rare earth elements essential to advanced manufacturing and national security. The Project has received $10 million in Pentagon funding and is under active consideration by the U.S. Export-Import Bank for up to $780 million in potential project financing.
Elk Creek is designed to supply materials central to modern defense, aerospace, robotics, AI, and energy technologies while reducing America’s reliance on foreign sources. NioCorp has also partnered with Lockheed Martin and its Skunk Works® division on a new Pentagon-funded defense technology program developing aluminum-scandium alloy components for next-generation fighter aircraft. As NioCorp advances toward construction, the company is positioned to become a cornerstone of America’s effort to secure a reliable, long-term supply of critical minerals that strengthen U.S. manufacturing and defense independence.
