The Lind Partners Releases Final Security Interests in NioCorp Assets

Lind recently released liens that had been placed on NioCorp's Nebraska land interests as part of $11 million in debt financing it provided to NioCorp. NioCorp retired the remaining principal due under the Lind financing in October 2019, and the Company is currently focused on securing project finance sufficient to move the Project to construction and eventual commercial operation.
"While release of such liens is a standard practice when debt instruments are retired, this security release further de-risks the Elk Creek Project, which in turn supports our project financing efforts," said Mark A. Smith, Chairman and CEO of NioCorp. "We thank Lind Partners once again for their investment in and commitment to NioCorp and our Elk Creek Project."
