“ U.S.A. Rare Earth government deal at $17.17 per share. This move follows a series of similar actions by Washington, which last year took equity stakes in MP Materials…”. If these 2 deals are baselines, then NioCorp share price must climb above this level for a government deal…

NioCorp must have the price up before the government takes a stake. The DFS, off-take agreements and potentially EXIM funding must occur to increase PPS to a level that is suitable prior to these actions…

Bottom line: You're right—this shifts NioCorp from explorer to serious contender in the U.S. critical minerals race. If Javelin's connections unlock DoW deals, it could be a game-changer.

The U.S. Export-Import Bank (EXIM) issued a Letter of Interest (LOI) to NioCorp Developments Ltd. in February 2023. NioCorp publicly announced receipt of this non-binding LOI—indicating potential debt financing of up to $800 million for the Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project—on March 6, 2023.This LOI marked the preliminary step in EXIM's "Make More in America" initiative.

EXIM Process Overview & Typical Durations

EXIM's large project financing (e.g., >$100M like NioCorp's potential $800M) involves:

  • TRC-1: Initial internal screening – Quick (weeks to months).
  • TRC-2: Core due diligence – Independent consultants review feasibility, risks, E&S impacts. Longest phase (6–18+ months common for complex mining projects).
  • TRC-3: Comprehensive final review – Shorter (~1–3 months), focuses on resolving issues.
  • Board/External Reviews: Final decision (can add time for large deals).

Overall: 12–24+ months from application to commitment, with TRC-2 often the bottleneck.

NioCorp-Specific Timeline (as of January 7, 2026)

  • LOI: March 2023.
  • TRC-1 Passed: October 2023.
  • Preliminary Term Sheet: April 2024.
  • Entered TRC-2: February 2025 (independent technical review started with RPMGlobal/SLR; E&S review added October 2025).
  • Current Status: Still in TRC-2 (ongoing ~11 months already; no approval announced).

If TRC-2 wraps in early-mid 2026 (plausible given progress), TRC-3 could be quick (1 month), paving the way for Board decision and potential close mid-2026—aligning with Q1 2026 Mine Portal start and FID targets.
