NioCorp CEO to Discuss Critical Mineral Exports on Fox Business Network

NioCorp Developments Ltd. announced that its Executive Chairman and CEO, Mark A. Smith, will appear on Fox Business Network's "Mornings with Maria" on April 16, 2025. The interview will delve into China's recent restrictions on heavy rare earth exports, vital for national defense and technology sectors.

Smith, previously CEO of Molycorp, Inc., witnessed a similar export cut-off by China in 2010. Currently, he leads the development of the Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project in Nebraska. This project aims to produce rare earth elements and critical minerals like niobium, scandium, and titanium through an integrated mining and processing facility.

The facility is expected to handle both domestic and international rare earth carbonates, enhancing U.S. production capabilities amidst geopolitical tensions. Bartiromo's show remains the leading pre-market business news program in cable.
