NioCorp Developments  (“NioCorp” or the “Company”) (TSX:NB) (OTCQX:NIOBF) (FSE:BR3) today applauded the leadership of the White House in issuing an Executive Order yesterday aimed at accelerating U.S. production of critical minerals upon which the U.S. is largely import dependent.
NioCorp Executive Chairman and CEO Mark Smith, said:

“The Executive Order signed this week by President Donald J. Trump marks a significant departure from U.S. Executive Branch policy priorities of recent years because of its focus on actively and aggressively supporting increased mining and processing in the U.S. of critical minerals. It goes further in this regard than any other such Presidential directive I have seen in my more than 36 years in this industry.
In my estimation, this Executive Order may provide the spark that launches a new era of expanded investment and growth in the environmentally responsible production of critical minerals in the U.S.,” said Mr. Smith.  “We very much welcome such a forceful statement of Administrative policy, and we applaud President Trump’s and Secretary’s Zinke’s leadership in this regard.”
