Niobium (Nb) is a chemical element with symbol Nb and atomic number 41 which, when added to steel, makes the steel stronger, lighter in weight, and highly resistant to corrosion.  Niobium-strengthened steels are known as High Strength, Low Alloy (HSLA) steels.  The primary commercial version of Niobium that is added to steel is Ferroniobium, which is a mixture of 65% niobium and 35% iron.  Ferroniobium represents over 90% of world niobium production. For many applications, such as superalloys and oil and gas pipelines steels, there are no practical substitutes for niobium. 

Niobium is also used in niobium-lithium-ion batteries, which are in the preliminary stages of being commercialized.  Such batteries have been shown to provide electric vehicles with greater range and faster re-charging times.

You can see more information about Niobium and Ferroniobium here.

Scandium (Sc) is number 21 on the periodic table of elements and is a transition metal.  It is silvery-white in its metal form and was discovered in 1879 in Scandinavia.  It has many different uses.  When added to aluminum and other metals, it forms a very strong, lightweight, highly corrosion-resistant material. In its oxide form, it is most often used in the electrolyte layer of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells to increase the efficiency of the fuel cell and allow it to operate at a lower temperature, which helps to increase the fuel cell's operational life.  You can see more information about Scandium here.

Titanium is a chemical element with symbol Ti and with atomic number 22. Silver in color when it is metal form, it is a transition metal that features the highest strength-to-density ratio of any metallic element. It is used in a wide variety of sectors, including aerospace, national defense, chemical processing, desalination, automotive, health care, communications, sporting goods, and many others.

In 2018, the U.S. government released a list of 35 "Critical Minerals" that it believes are critical and strategic to U.S. defense and essential civilian technologies.  Included in this list are all three of the superalloy materials that NioCorp plans to produce at the Company Elk Creek Project in southeast Nebraska:  Niobium, Scandium, and Titanium.

This designation establishes the Elk Creek Project as one of the few polymetallic greenfield mining projects in the U.S. that proposes to produce multiple critical minerals -- and only critical minerals -- and which also has a positive Feasibility Study, a relatively low permitting risk, and very strong state and local support.

The list of priority minerals was developed in response to a White House Executive Order of December 20, 2017, which can be seen here.

Once placed into commercial operation, the Project will establish for the first time in decades a U.S. production capability for Niobium.  It also will establish the State of Nebraska and the U.S. as global leaders in the production of Scandium, a lightweight and very strong metal that has been used for several decades in cutting-edge Soviet and Russian military technologies.  The U.S. Armed Forces have been largely shut out from being able to incorporate Scandium in aerospace and other national defense systems because of a lack of available Scandium supply.

The final list of Critical Minerals to be published in the Federal Register can be seen here.

Niobium, Scandium, and Titanium are all vital to a range of national security and homeland security applications and technologies utilized by all branches of the military. Not only that, but according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the U.S. is 100% reliant on foreign nations for the niobium and scandium that we use in national defense systems, and is more than 90% reliant on foreign nations for titanium mineral concentrate.  Moreover, the U.S. Government considers niobium such a critical and strategic material that is has purchased niobium and currently stores it in the National Defense Stockpile (NDS) in the event of national emergencies. Only a handful of critical strategic materials are considered so important that they are stored in the NDS.

Very much so.  Virtually every military aircraft flying today utilizes alloys made with Niobium and Titanium.  In fact, according to market leader CBMM, the most common jet engine in service today contains about 300 kilograms of niobium. Helicopters, drones, satellites and a host of other aerospace technologies would not fly without one or more of these strategic metals. Scandium is also vital to several defense technologies, and its use is expected to expand significantly when reliable supplies are established (such as in Nebraska).

Nations around the world invest in programs to strengthen and expand  transportation and other infrastructure systems, increasing attention is being focused on Niobium.  Why?  Because when added to steel, Niobium makes it stronger, lighter in weight, and highly resistant to corrosion. Niobium-contained High Strength, Low Alloy (HSLA) steel is increasingly used in buildings, bridges, dams, and other large construction and mega-steel projects. HSLA steel highly bridges with Niobium can be designed to last more than a century of use, as opposed to conventional highway bridges that may last only 30-40 years before having to undergo major repair work.

Scandium presents potentially revolutionary applications in transportation applications, which play a vital role in the ultimate cost of transportation infrastructure systems.  For example, Scandium’s potential to lightweight commercial jetliners, automotive applications, and mass transit systems may have major implications for transportation infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, and other transportation hubs.

Today’s cars, trucks and buses are more powerful than ever before.  Yet they are also safer to operate, lighter in weight, more fuel efficient, and less polluting than ever before.  One of the secrets to this success are superalloy materials like Niobium.

Niobium materials are added today to vehicles both to strengthen a vehicle’s structural components (as an additive to steel) and also as an oxide, which is used in glass, electronics, batteries, emissions controls, and other systems. The primary use of Niobium in vehicles is as an steel additive.  The increasing use of High Strength, Low Alloy (HSLA) steel with Niobium in modern vehicles has dramatically reduced vehicle weight and increased fuel economy.

For example, the World Steel Association has estimated that the addition of only about $9 worth of niobium in an automobile reduces the vehicles mass by 100 kilograms and increases its fuel efficiency by 5%.  Those are large improvements with a relatively small amount of this amazing metal.

Niobium, Scandium, and Titanium all have important uses in various environmental and clean energy technologies.  These include the following:

• Renewable energy systems such as solar, wind, and geothermal power generation
• Low-emission electricity generation from fuels cells
• Water purification and desalination systems
• Lighter-weight and fuel-efficient vehicles and commercial jets that reduce fuel consumption and air emissions
• High performance vehicle emissions systems
• Next-generation battery technologies
• Stronger and lighter-weight buildings and infrastructure systems, which reduce energy consumption and emissions
• High-voltage transmission power lines
