NioCorp seeks three-year Advantage Act extension for $1.2B Elk Creek project LB 1191 would extend the compliance window for the NioCorp Elk Creek critical-minerals project by three years so permanent jobs count under the Nebraska Advantage Act; supporters said the change aligns incentive timelines with heavy construction sequencing and proposed a $90,000 extension fee to offset costs.

Senator Bob Hallstrom is pushing for a three-year extension on job-creation timelines for a $1.2 billion critical minerals project that promises over 1,000 construction jobs in Nebraska.

Chemical Process Produces Critical Battery Metals from This Unloved Mineral with No Waste A startup venture in New Zealand has discovered a way to extract critical battery minerals from rocks piled up as waste in mining operations. Olivine is of little value beyond a smattering of niche uses like the semi-precious peridot production, sauna rocks in Finnish saunas, and a substitute for dolomite in steel works. Aspiring Materials, […] The post Chemical Process Produces Critical Battery Metals from This Unloved Mineral with No Waste appeared first on Good News Network.
