Some notable quotes:

@ 7:57 portal project and final financing - "but this is about a nine or 10 month effort to undertake this by starting it when we are and knowing when we realistically expect to get EXIM financing, we should be finished with that portal project right about the same time that we get project financing done and we should be able to just continue with underground mind development at that point"

@ 9:05 drilling/engineering results to update FS - "All the drilling is done and that was for the purposes infield drilling just to raise the mining engineering level of reserves from probable reserves to proven reserves. That work is done complete. We submitted all the technical work to EXIM the reviewing it right now, but that work it is done."

@ 16:35 Traxys binding offtake -  "I can tell you that the commercial terms are basically agreed to cause we’ve been doing business for a long time. We now have our respective lawyers putting all the legalese language into an enforceable contract. I think with some good hard work by both sides, and we’re both willing to do it, you’ll see a binding contract between Traxys and NioCorp for this non-binding off take term sheet, you’ll have a binding situation hopefully close to the end of April maybe first part of May so it’s imminent. It’s going to come together it’s a huge part of the XM financing so you’re critical for us to get that in place but it is a party. We’ve done a lot of business with over the years so I have a lot of confidence that will get there"
