ABOUT NIOCORP

NioCorp is developing a critical minerals project in Southeast Nebraska (the "Elk Creek Project") that is expected to produce niobium, scandium, and titanium. The Company also is evaluating the potential to produce several rare earths from the Elk Creek Project. Niobium is used to produce specialty alloys as well as High Strength, Low Alloy steel, which is a lighter, stronger steel used in automotive, structural, and pipeline applications. Scandium is a specialty metal 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 lightweight alloys 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 magnets, which are used across a wide variety of defense and civilian applications.

Any financial results discussed in this press release are preliminary and represent the most current information available to the Company's management as of April 11, 2025, as financial closing procedures for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, are not yet complete. These estimates are not a comprehensive statement of the Company's financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, and actual results may differ materially from these estimates as a result of the completion of quarter-end accounting procedures and adjustments, including the execution of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, the completion of the preparation of the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the subsequent occurrence or identification of events prior to the filing of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, any such statements regarding the Company's financial performance are not necessarily indicative of the Company's financial performance that may be expected to occur for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2025, or for any future fiscal period.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions made by the management of NioCorp prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the matters addressed herein and attributable to NioCorp or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, NioCorp undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
