Same characters arguing back ' n forth... just a different day.... same argument, recycled over and over again for all the MB members to see (and shake their heads in disgust)... if you want to see how grown men can be reduced to tired angry repetitive rant children with full diapers daily...... come to the NIO board..... actually, every so often, there is a nice nugget of information/insight/update on the MB but more and more infrequently....... and sprinkled in between the AO vs Trans vs DOA vs LCP food fights................(did i miss any of the antagonists??)
Another day in Nio-Ville...... back to sleep.... zzzzzzz reset the 180 day alarm.......waiting another quarter or year..... "these mines take time, don't ya know" - if you wanted quicker returns you should have invested in the 30 year T-Bills.... dumbass! :)
STILL havent announced that we are FOR CERTAIN going to process REE's (even tho we have a lead speaking role in all of the REE/ conferences..... we just can't COMMITT to saying " WE ARE IN', much like a committed bachelor that doesnt want to give up his lifestyle of travelling around the world bedding exotic babes...... NO Committment Peter Pan....
STILL no news on publishing a FS, even tho many investors were quite suprised (SHOCKED) to learn that even after a yr. and a half of being strung out on the Demo testing we still are no closer to getting a FS (which is a prereq. for many of our other milestones) out the door!!! DANG..... it's beyond Frustrating......
Oh well...... the beat goes on.... and on.......
Prayers for the NB and surrounding area people that were affected by the natural disaster......

TDD, please stop with the personal attacks and insults and let’s discuss facts. First off, I am not beholden to mgt, their opinions, statements ir actions. They do not pay me a penny to express my opinions and I can’t remember the last time I spoke with them because I am too upset what has happened to my holdings. Namely obliterated. The # of shares I hold today is a fraction of what I once held and I’m not even factoring in the reverse split. So as you can imagine, I am not particularly happy with how this investment has turned out. In fact, the last time I spoke with mgt sometime last year I expressed my deep unhappiness with how the share price had collapsed. So, if you think I am somehow beholden to the company, you are way way off the mark. With regard to the bank failures and SPAC conversion, I never spoke to mgt about their opinion as to why the SPAC money for the most part did not transfer to NioCorp. I was as surprised as anyone. If mgt took the position that the bank failures were the cause, then they were parroting me not the opposite because I came up with that conclusion on my own at least 6 months before MS mentioned it at a conference in September 23. Because of what I experienced in the Business World in September 2008 when a similar bank crisis erupted, I thought in March 2023, here we go again, bank failures again heading in to a sudden recession. The impact of bank failures was sudden in 2008 and it took just days before banks and businesses were in a free fall. My business is heavily dependent on the health of the banking industry as are so many businesses and the economy as a whole so my first reaction when the SPAC money did not come in was that GX corporate shareholders were spooked and impacted by the domino bank failure that they opted to take the cash than to tie up their money in a new SPAC project regardless of what that project was. I know people who had shares in First Republic and their investment was crushed and the banking crisis was not a regional banking crisis as you claim but a national banking crisis that was contained Worldwide by the actions of the Fed and multiple other equivalent governmental agencies across the Globe.
“ To prevent the situation from affecting more banks, global industry regulators, including the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Canada, Bank of England, Bank of Japan, European Central Bank, and Swiss National Bank intervened to provide extraordinary liquidity.”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_United_States_banking_crisis
That is my opinion not mgts so please stop the false claim that I support their claim when I was the first to make the claim. Secondly, COVID’s effects on businesses was real. To this day, my business is still reeling from the effects of the devastation and impact on the local economy and my business is dependent on the local economy which is still weak due to the impacts of Covid transporting workers from office buildings to work from home. Again, the impact of COVID’s effect on my business and the fact that there were restrictions on face to face meetings severely impacted my business namely negotiation and contract signature. If the impact of Covid restrictions curtailed my business and the entire World of business from supply chains to in person meetings to financing why then is it so incomprehensible to come to the conclusion that NioCorps business or ability to secure funding would be impacted? It sure destroyed a lot of other businesses Zoom calls ate no substitute for in person contact when your asking corporations and banks to finance $1,000,000,000,000 for a mine start up in a flailing Covid economy so of course Covid impacted NioCorps ability to secure funding. You were there at the AGM in 2019, you saw how excited we all were that NioCorp was finally going to get their financing and begin construction in the Spring of 2020 and then Covid erupted and the whole World of business flipped on its back.

So, before you jump to conclusions about how I feel or what position I take on why financing has had delays instead of assuming that I follow mgts talking points, consider that I drew my own opinion and drew my own conclusions assessing the impact of Covid and bank failures on my own personal business and the economy as a whole so if those 2 events impacted my business and so many others, why would it not impact other NioCorps businesses. You don’t have to agree with my opinion because you work for a company. I don’t. I work for myself and the impacts of those 2 events is very different on employees vs business Owners and companies. If you disagree with my personal assessment which happens to independently coincide with NioCorps, go talk to NioCorp, I am not NioCorp or affiliated with the company in any way, shape or form. Just an individual investor like you with an investment in NioCorp who holds their own beliefs and opinions independent of the companies beliefs and opinions or anyone else. Please go address your concerns with NioCorp not me. I am not NioCorp or have any affiliation with NioCorp.

TDD, it’s unfortunate you and I couldn’t have discussed this earlier. I understand your frustration. I have also been impacted financially. Though I do feel that Covid and the bank failure impacted financing sooner, to what degree, it’s hard to measure. I do not discount, however, your opinion mgt could have done a better job and also believe we were given the impression that certain things would happen but never materialized. So we do have a shared understanding on some of your points. It is hard to prove in my opinion that the pandemic and bank failure did not impact financing but going forward please do not make assumptions about my feelings on the matter of delays. My patience is not where it was in the past and I fully expect NioCorp to follow through and secure EXIM financing without diversions towards that end goal.

No, but Niocorp management and you will likely use the inclement weather Nebraska had last night for further delays in financing. For the love of God, everything is one excuse after another.
Mercury is in retrograde, so there will be a delay in financing. San Francisco 49rs list the superbowl, so there will be a delay in financing. US fertility rate dropped to lowest in a century as births dipped in 2023, so there will be a delay in financing. Mathew Perry dead at 54, so there will be a delay in financing. Hamas attacks Israel; Israel attacks Gaza, so there will be a delay in financing. A Chinese spy balloon wafted across the US, so there will be a delay in financing. Yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda……blah, blah, blah.
Get it through your head, Mark and his team are to blame for the plummeting share price. We are all paying the cost of their incompetence. When I first started investing in Niocorp I bought into the story. People have become numb from a decade of hearing excuses after excuses. You need you pull your head out from the clouds.

NorCal, I appreciate your calling a time out. I just want to express to shareholders, whoever they are, if you are truly a legitimate investor and not short selling, I sincerely sympathize with your disappointment in the performance of this investment to date. Like you, I have waited 11 years to see a return on my investment and have nothing to show for it other than having lost a lot of money and time. I may not be as vocal or express my anger, but, that doesn't mean I am happy with what was supposed to be my retirement nest egg that I projected would materialize in January of 2020 seem to evaporate over the last few years. Some may say its mgts fault, others, will say it was a combination of the disruption of business in 2020-2023 (travel bans, tight investment lending) by the Covid Pandemic or bank failures in March 2023 when we hoped the company would receive up to $200,000,000 in investment from GX shareholders. I am not oblivious to investors disappointment even if I don't express my disappointment as vocally as others. All I have been trying to say is, however we got here, I don't think it's helpful to repeat the same complaints day after day for over 1.4 years. Repeated complaints about dilution and poor mgt decisions is not going to improve the share price or attract more investors or financiers. Staying positive and supporting current efforts of the company will do more for the share price than the constant haranguing about what happened, why it shouldn't have happened, what they could have done better, why did they make certain decisions and so on. It happened. There's no changing what happened. Hopefully, those who are upset can find solace in knowing that the company (not my opinion, its material news) is trying to fix the problem. Not saying they made great decisions all the time or that they are or are not responsible for where we are at today. Where we can agree is that mgt has done a horrible job at staying on time. When I look back, it seems that they almost always achieve their goals (minus a big investment from GX shareholders), but move at a snails pace which is really frustrating. I'm also realistic that they didn't always have timing on their side Pandemic/Bank Failure at the time of conversion). Some will give some credence to those influencing factors, others will dismiss them altogether. But, whether you think those events hindered financing or not, or its all mgts fault, partially mgts fault or not mgts fault at all, there is no turning back the clock and undoing the past. SE can all agree though that none of us is happy with the current state of our investment today regardless of how we got here. That's a fact. I hope however we can all come together with all of our different opinions about how we got here, agree to disagree or agree as to how much blame should be ascribed to mgt and how much to the pandemic and bank failure but come together to support NioCorp getting financed as soon as possible from EXIM and Stellantis or whoever else NioCorps courting.

AO.... we agree to disagree....... these annoying posters/bashers aren't making a bit of difference in this stock price (and even if they are it is temporary, probably creates a temporary huge bargain basement clearance sale like buying opportunities.... BUT as we all know UNLESS and UNTIL financing happens, which is the only thing that will move this SP, i.e., NB Mgmt's execution on financing and offtakes.... that is the ONLY thing...... If/When that happens, then all the bashers, with their loud voices, belligerance and loaded diapers, oh and old timer trading stories- will be proven wrong, wholly discredited and shamed- complete with egg all over their ill-intentioned, no redeeming qualities, hidden agenda, ugly ass faces.... we all know who they are.....
But in the meantime please stop engaging in tit for tat wars with everyone and their brother (and mothers)... it's a bad look for you, you might be well meaning but you are looking petty, defensive and naive.... and it clogs up the board all day every day...... no winners, just everyone on the board losing while marking time waiting for the turnaround......
