Niobium
88% of the world's Niobium is produced in only one country¹ - Brazil - which increases supply chain risk
and has forced the U.S. Government to stockpile Niobium.

NIOBIUM: A Critical Supply Risk To The U.S.
Market growth is expected to rise sharply with the expected use of niobium in next-generation Lithium-Ion
batteries, which enables faster battery charging.²
Light-weighting of transportation systems and strengthening of bridges and mega-infrastructure projects
are expected to drive additional long-term growth.
Highly liquid global market with many sers and a growing number of applications.

Global Niobium Demand Drivers
Stronger and
lighter steels for
buildings &
infrastructure
mega-projects
0.025% Niobium in
the steel of the
Millau Viaduct
bridge reduced the
weight of steel and
concrete by 60% in
the overall project.4
Growing demand
for lighter weight
and more fuel-
efficient cars,
trucks, and buses
300 grams Nb
reduces the weight
of mid-size car by
200 kg and increases
fuel efficiency by
5%4

NioCorp's projected Nb annual production:
7,450 tonnes / year → $225M / year in revenue5
5 Subject to receipt of necessary project financing and commencement of operations at the Elk Creek Project. Annual
revenue derived from averaged annual Run-of-Mine Nb production multiplied by assumed realized Nb pricing
($46.56/kg), both of which are based on the 2022 NI 43-101 Elk Creek Technical Report. See "Mineral Reserves and
Resources" in the Disclaimers & Technical Disclosures at the beginning of this presentation.
