Wenn ich mir als Laie die beiden PEA`s nebeneinander lege und das abgleiche, fangen mir an die Backen zu glühen vor Begeisterung ob all der Verbesserungen. Was Profis daraus ableiten, bleibt abzuwarten. Wäre zu schön, wenn die das halbwegs ähnlich sehen würden.  

Wollt Ihr denn mehr?

Man wenn das heute nicht Richtung Norden geht dann verstehe ich die Börse nicht mehr. Ich weis Börse hat ihre eigener Regeln, wer weis schon, der Tag wird es uns sagen.
Vielleicht haben einige es gemerkt, letzte Woche stand eine grosse Order auf 0.72cad, hat den Kurs die. ganze Zeit auf 0.72 gehalten. wusste da schon einer etwas? Das News ins Haus stehen.

Weiter geht es heute  

Sieht schon mal positiv aus.
Ganz intéressant sollte das Volumen heute sein!

Gibt das die neue PEA her? Was meint ihr?
 

Lol
Die Frage ist sehr gut, klare Antwort möglicher Weise

IRR mal ebenso verdoppelt, das werden Instis mögen, aber Bankenstudie kommt nun
später im Jahr. Zwischendurch vielleicht noch Agreements, die viele Martteilnehmer erwarten.

So long  

Conclusion

Up until now the most attractive and advanced Scandium projects in the world have been those in Australia. We have written here before about Scandium International’s Nyngan project in New South Wales. The recent developments at Elk Creek have revealed the potential for NioCorp to be a major North American producer of the metal should the Defence Department in Washington care to give the company the endorsement as “most favoured” Scandium producer in the same way as it has done for the beryllium producer, Materion.

The relevance of this is that it makes the high-capex Elk Creek project move out of the theoretical column into the fundable category if it can glean such a huge sponsor.

A southeast Nebraska town is one step closer to building the first niobium mine in the country.

According to a new finding released Wednesday, a promising amount of the mineral, which is used to harden steel, has been found hundreds of feet below the ground near Elk Creek.

"We feel pretty good about our chances to deliver a project here that's economic and competitive with other producers," Scott Honan of NioCorp said.

Drilling in that area has been an ongoing project for decades. But those with NioCorp, a Canadian firm in charge of the project, said a significant amount of progress is finally being made.

So far, more than 100 million tons of rock have been drilled. Lab results show anywhere from 14 to 50 pounds of niobium per ton of rock have been found in those rocks, depending on the grade. Officials said that amount compares favorably to niobium mines in Canada and Brazil.

Greg Krueger owns land that will eventually be drilled.

"It's going to the next step, so we're optimistic," Krueger said. "The buyout would make my wife happy, wouldn't have to work so hard from hear on out hopefully."

The United States imports all of its niobium. Common uses are for building bridges, buildings and car parts.

NioCorp has already drilled three holes near Elk Creek. It plans to drill at least 11. Officials said the drilling should go until August. After that, a feasibility study will be conducted.

NioCorp’s latest PEA demonstrates the economic viability of Elk Creek
Friday, August 14, 2015 by Alastair Ford

NioCorp (TSX:NB) moved significantly closer to the construction of Nebraska’s second ever mine this week, with the announcement of an updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for its Elk Creek niobium project.

The study supersedes a previous PEA put out by NioCorp earlier this year and incorporates several improvements to the company’s plans for processing the niobium, scandium and titanium that will be produced at Elk Creek.

“It’s an important moment for the company,” explains NioCorp’s Mark Smith.

“The company’s very excited about it. The improvements result primarily from a change in the metallurgical flow sheet. We’ve eliminated the flotation step and will move the material directly through a hydrometallurgical process.”

The effects of the change are marked; the company won’t have to process as much of the resource to produce the same amount of metal.

What’s more, whereas in the first PEA around 86% of the scandium produced went into tailings, in the second PEA around 90% of it gets recovered.

In terms of the financial modelling, these changes make a huge difference.

The previous model set out the stall for an operation that would have delivered an after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 13.9% and which carried an NPV (net present value) of US$562mln.

The new model has the after-tax internal rate of return much improved at 27.6% and the NPV rocketing up to US$2.3bn.

The question now is: can NioCorp really justify the assumption it’s making in terms of the scandium?

Mark Smith is confident on this score, to the point where he plans to make it a central element in the investor conference call he will be hosting next week.

“The bottom line is that the demand has clearly been limited by the unreliable supply and quality situation,” he says.

“We strongly believe there are big market opportunities here: one is in fuel cell technology; the other is in the aerospace industry. And as to price, our answer is quite simple. We’ve used a third party marketing report created by an expert in the scandium space. All we’re doing is using his numbers.”

That report was prepared by OnG Commodities and in part examines the likely rates at which the aerospace industry is likely to increase scandium use.

Even if the uptake is slower than seems likely, the modelling shows that the IRR for Elk Creek would only drop to a still attractive 25.3%, with the NPV down to just under US$2 bln.

“Either case is very robust,” says Mark Smith.

With the report now in his back pocket he’s keen to crack on with the next steps.

The first public engagement will be the investor conference call on 17th August, but behind the scenes the company is already working towards a bankable feasibility study that’s due for completion by the end of the year.

If that seems fast, that’s because it is.

But much of the groundwork for the bankable study was covered in the second PEA - Mark highlights in particular that the resource model used in the most recent study didn’t incorporate any inferred numbers, in line with normal practice for a bankable study.

What’s more, there’s no local opposition to the project and permitting has not been official.

On the contrary, the locals and the relevant authorities in Nebraska are keen to diversify the economy and bring new income streams into the state.

That NioCorp is striving to be a good corporate citizen doesn’t hurt either.

“We’ve secured almost all the leases we need,” says Smith.

“We have all the mineral leases, and we’re proud of how we got that done. We did not pressure anyone. We made very reasonable offers and both parties were happy. We believe in treating people honestly and fairly and that’s how we’re going to proceed.”

But if the citizens of Nebraska are in favor of development, what about the denizens of the financial markets?

Smith is confident that the money will come in, especially after further work on paring back capital costs is done in the bankable study.

As it stands, the estimated capital cost rings in at US$979mln, but at the moment that incorporates a lot of engineering estimates that could come down after further detailed work.

“A robust economic project that people believe in will find the financing it needs,” says Smith. Within six months or so we’ll know whether or not he’s right.

Furthering investment in new sources of supply is where Smith sees his skill set having an effect. “I look for opportunities at this point in my life where not only can I step into a leadership role, but I can step in as an investor and also take advantage of what I think are outstanding opportunities that are not as well understood by the market as they should be,” he said. “I’ve been able to put things in terms that an investor needs to hear. Once you convince an investor that your values are strong and that the commodity that you’re producing is an important part of the economics of the world, then I really think that you’ve captured them to a large extent. Then you can get into the details of exactly why this particular opportunity would fit their purposes so well.”  - See more at: https://magazine.cim.org/en/2015/June-July/...px#sthash.trkOU8zz.dpuf

Smith versprüht ungebrochenen Optimismus, auch was die Finanzierung des Projekts angeht. Seine Investmentbanker meinen, das Projekt müsste aktuell für USD 600/700 Millionen Fremdkapital "gut sein"; Smith selbst geht von gut USD 300 Millionen Aktienfinanzierung aus. Die BFS sieht er weiter bis Jahresende/Jahresanfang als machbar an. Die Finanzierung soll- wenn ich das korrekt verstanden habe- bis dahin auch stehen. Vorher will er noch möglichst viele Produkt-Offtakes abschließen, weil das das Ganze erheblich erleichtern würde. Noch sind nicht alle behördenmäßig zu erfüllende Auflagen unter Dach und Fach. Er sieht aber keine Probleme, da innerhalb der nächsten Wochen Vollzug zu vermelden.

Aus meiner Sicht wäre ein in den nächsten 3/4 Monaten steigender Aktienkurs ein Segen für die Realisierung des Projekts (Stichwort Verwässerung), wenngleich Smith das Niveau des Aktienkurses eher herunter gespielt hat.  

Danke für die Infos.
