On the very next day, Arista Vault used that clip and posted a planned reel featuring Ishant Sharma. In their video, they tried to tell Ishant Sharma how he can use their products to never lose his belongings again. To this, Ishant Sharma’s fans started tagging the cricketer to see whether the brand is using his video ethically or not. The very same day Ishant Sharma posted a video lashing us out regarding it.
But this was a well planned Arista Vault controversy to create a buzz among people about the collaboration. Soon after all this tactical planning and execution, Ishant Sharma and Arista Vault posted an Instagram Reel. The reel was the official announcement of Ishant Sharma being the brand ambassador of Arista Vault- India’s First Smart Luggage Brand.

Sharing Jims's responses to my follow up questions for CONTEXT on 11/15/2022:

1) - Has Niocorp recently applied for a DoE/LPO loan for "debt"..?
RESPONSE:
"We are indeed in discussions with several U.S. federal agencies about potential financial assistance to the Project, but all have very strict rules about disclosure of those discussions and processes. I’m sorry but I cannot say anything more about this at present. "
2) - Could any additional CO2 capture methods still be possible by ex-situ, direct mineralization, or other methods now being undertaken via the New Process?
RESPONSE:
"The reagent recycling tied to the Calcium and Magnesium removal, which we recently announced as part of our demonstration plant operations, is effectively a carbon sink and is expected to reduce the carbon footprint of the eventual operation*."*

3) - Who owns the patent/rights to this New Process being implemented? Or can it be licensed moving forward?

RESPONSE:

"We hold the rights to any intellectual property developed and related to the Elk Creek process by virtue of our contractual relationships with L3 and other entities involved in the work. While our focus remains on using proven commercial technologies in the public domain, we will act to protect the parts of our process that may be novel. "

NioCorp Rare Earth Demonstration Plant Showing Positive Rare Earth Recovery Results

NioCorp Rare Earth Demonstration Plant Showing Positive Rare Earth Recovery Results - NioCorp Developments Ltd.
https://preview.redd.it/229cui302vqa1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=2a4f9802a34182fee1c34f557bab2ab622e901b9
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (January 4, 2023) – NioCorp Developments Ltd. (“NioCorp” or the “Company”) (TSX:NB) (OTCQX:NIOBF) today announced that its demonstration-scale processing plant (the “demonstration plant”) in Quebec, Canada has succeeded in obtaining a rare earth dissolution rate of 86-95% from Elk Creek ore through hydrochloric acid leaching, and has achieved a loading rate of rare earths as high as 99% in the follow-on solvent extraction recovery step. These relatively high rates, which were expected, point to potentially strong rates of overall recovery of separated rare earth oxides, subject to additional demonstration testing over the coming weeks.
Additional solvent extraction steps will be deployed to establish the ultimate recovery rates of potential rare earth products. The demonstration plant has further established that the rare earths recovered in the initial solvent extraction step are accompanied by only two impurities of note: iron and a very small amount of nickel. Given the success of this initial separation step, L3 and NioCorp expect that losses in the additional solvent extraction steps would be low.
NioCorp is currently focused on demonstrating its ability to recover three high-purity rare earth products: (1) neodymium-praseodymium (“NdPr“) oxide, which is the principal component of neodymium-iron-boron (“NdFeB“) permanent rare earth magnets, (2) Dysprosium (“Dy“) oxide, and (3) Terbium (“Tb“) oxide. Both Dy and Tb oxide are critical to the type of powerful NdFeB magnets used in the traction motors of electric vehicles. However, very little of these high-purity separated rare earth products are made outside of Asia.

“These results are in line with our expectations and they show that the ongoing work at the plant is proceeding in a positive direction,” said Scott Honan, NioCorp’s Chief Operating Officer. “In the coming weeks, we look forward to seeing the final results from the separations extractions testing that is now underway and to reporting those results to the public.”

(APRIL 4th 2023 -will be 12 WEEKS out.... Expecting Results SOON IMHO....)

Feb. 2nd 2023 THE NYTIMES ARTICLE DROPS ~Nebraskans Are Sitting on Strategic Metals. Is Mining a Patriotic Duty?~ By Dionne Searcey

Nebraskans Are Sitting on Strategic Metals. Is Mining a Patriotic Duty? - The New York Times (nytimes.com)
Mr. Honan, NioCorp’s chief operating officer, on Beverly Beethe’s farm. “The rocks are different here,” he said.

• Feb. 2, 2023

ELK CREEK, Neb. — In this rural part of Nebraska, county-board agendas include moratoriums on solar farms and some residents scowl when they pass the handful of wind farms that have sprouted. But the idea of a new mine that could help power the transition to renewable energy has received broad support.
The tenor of these quiet flatlands, where deer bounce across gravel roads and neon sunsets scream across the long horizon, would change dramatically if mining for metals like niobium, scandium, titanium and rare earths begins.
But many people here think Southeast Nebraska, dotted with dying downtowns and aging residents, could play a small part in helping to solve a full-blown geopolitical crisis that Doc Evans, a Johnson County commissioner, summed up like this: “The trouble with China.”
Mr. Evans and numerous others welcome the digging that a company called NioCorp wants to begin because they feel it’s their patriotic duty. For too long, they said, the United States has depended on other countries for metals and minerals the nation could find at home, if only someone were willing to spend the money and effort to retrieve them.
“I think it’s good for our country,” said Don Othmer, who lives in Elk Creek, where the mine would be. Relying on other countries for raw materials means “we’re kind of held hostage,” he said.
Geological fate meted out hundreds of millions of years ago left the United States lacking rich stores of many of the raw materials found on the federal list of minerals critical to the economy and national security. The country has relied on imports of certain minerals and metals that are abundant in China and elsewhere and are needed for America’s fighter jets, building materials and cellphone batteries.
The United States is determined to no longer be dependent on other countries, particularly now as these materials, which are also used in making electric-vehicle batteries and for transmitting energy from wind turbines and solar panels to the power grid, are key ingredients for an economy that relies on renewables. Measures enacted under the Biden Administration offer major incentives to mining companies and processing facilities to do their work domestically.
But the biggest incentive is the market demand that has increased the price of metals including rare earths — a set of elements found together, with names like terbium and dysprosium — making it newly economical for mining companies to scour the nation for even small amounts that can be scraped from underneath the soil.
Downtown Tecumseh, Neb., one of the nearby towns that would feel ripple effects from a new mine.
NioCorp wants to bring in hundreds of workers and heavy drilling equipment to dig the metals. After decades of exploration and looking for financing, it soon may be able to get started, buoyed by new demand for a domestic supply of critical minerals and metals that can power America’s transition to renewable energy. And the company has embraced the messaging that plays well in this conservative area that counts patriotism as a key value.
“It will help America,” said Mark Smith, chief executive of NioCorp, which is based in Colorado.
The federal government is hoping to find new deposits of minerals and metals by carrying out projects to digitize information from 100-year-old geological maps and by flying survey planes all over the country. The government is also financing programs to comb through waste piles of old mines, including coal ash, for materials once deemed worthless. One program tests ways to sift minerals and metals from Superfund sites.
“Can the U.S. meet its own mineral supply needs? It’s a big, complicated question,” said Graham Lederer, researcher at the United States Geological Survey’s Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center. “Anything could be a resource. You just need to develop the technology and bring the cost down.”
Just outside Elk Creek, pronounced by some locally as “Elk Crick,” workers from NioCorp are clearing trees to prep the land for digging, should it succeed in getting more financing. The company, now listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, said it has lined up German buyers for some of its niobium.
Hundreds of people and a new governor-elect turned up for a series of town halls in November held by NioCorp. The meetings drew investors from Kansas City who snapped photos as they wandered Elk Creek’s tiny downtown past a bank, a post office, small grocery store and the Village Tavern, which is known for its signature drink, the Elk Creek Water (Mountain Dew, Squirt, 7 UP, vodka and gin) as well as an annual event where beef testicles are served (the “Nut Feed”).
“We’ve had a harder time keeping the younger generation here,” said Don Gottula, who owns a propane shop on Main Street. “We need a booster shot, I guess you could say.”
As the hunt for more materials used in batteries continues, energy officials predict more scenes across America like the one in Nebraska, a state with abundant cornfields and cattle but no operating mines. In Utah, a mine has begun producing tellurium. A new cobalt mine in Idaho is expected to be operational this year. New lithium mining is planned for North Carolina, and in California companies are trying out new technology to extract lithium from geothermal brines.
The world may need more than 300 new mines in the next decade to meet demand for electric-vehicle and energy-storage batteries, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.
In Nebraska, metals that were a distant memory from high school chemistry class have become part of regular conversation. Like most people in the Elk Creek area, any of the dozen or so farmers who gather for morning coffee several days a week before the lanes light up at Harvest Bowl in nearby Tecumseh can speak fluently about niobium.
“Didn’t they put that in Superman’s underwear?” one joked on a recent morning.
Niobium might help batteries hold a charge longer, another said, and that’s a good thing out here where miles separate even gas stations. But did anyone ever consider what happens to the wind turbines and solar panels years from now when they no longer function?
“When they wear out there’s no place to go with them,” said Milton Buchholz, a retired farmer and former county roads department worker.
The conversation turned to the prairie fires and dust storms that swept across parts of Nebraska last summer. The crop-withering drought just won’t let up.
“I’m not convinced whether this is all man-made or God-made,” said Mr. Evans, the county commissioner who sat at a table near farmers in hats advertising pesticides and fertilizer and one that read “cow whisperer.”
“I know that we may be contributing but who did it 100,000 years ago when we had an Ice Age?” he added.
To build the mine here, workers would burrow nearly 2,500 feet into the earth, creating an underground mini city to operate machinery. Construction would take almost three years, requiring 400 workers and convoys of heavy trucks rumbling across the plains surrounding Elk Creek, population 98.
“If we want to give our kids a chance, we’ve got to use the resources we have,” said Harold Richardson, a farmer and retired teacher from Elk Creek.
China is the world’s main producer and processor of scandium and rare earths. America has only one rare earth mine, in Mountain Pass, Calif. It sends its ore to China for processing. (Mr. Smith of NioCorp is the former chief executive of MolyCorp, which used to own the Mountain Pass mine.)
Brazil is by far the world’s biggest producer of niobium, which is used to strengthen steel. China Molybdenum, a state-backed company, bought a key niobium mine in Brazil in 2016.
The importance of having a domestic stash of metals was highlighted in 2010 when China blocked exports of rare earths to Japan during a dispute over a fishing trawler incident, sending prices soaring. Since then, tensions between the United States and China only have escalated, prompting fears about politically and economically motivated supply-chain disruptions.
NioCorp executives say the amount of metals they could recover at Elk Creek would be scant compared to the Chinese supply; they are still determining whether they can economically retrieve the rare earths. The company plans to dig titanium, too (China, Japan and Russia are among the world’s biggest titanium producers), but niobium is the most abundant metal at the site, and if operations go forward, Elk Creek would be the only niobium mine in America.
Company executives say they expect demand for the metal to increase for use in new versions of lithium ion electric vehicle batteries under development.
NioCorp has obtained all the necessary permits to start digging. But if it digs the rare earths, NioCorp may need to look overseas for processing. A new processing facility that is in the works in Texas could take years to become operational.
“I’d really want to see these activities done in the United States or an allied country” such as Japan or Britain, said Mr. Smith of NioCorp.
New demand for greener sources of energy is fueling interest from Wall Street in the Elk Creek mine. But the messaging from NioCorp tends to focus on the metals’ traditional uses — in oil pipelines and guided missiles, residents said.
“NioCorp is being very thoughtful in how they’re communicating with Southeast Nebraskans,” said State Senator Julie Slama, who represents constituents in Johnson County, which has voted Republican in every presidential election since the 1960s. “In Nebraska, we have a sense of patriotism and desire to serve our country.”
People have been talking about a mine in Elk Creek since the early 1970s when, according to local lore, pilots reported their instruments went haywire while flying over southeast Nebraska. The real story: University researchers received a federal grant to fly over the state with instrumentation that identified changes in the earth’s magnetic field, indicating the possible presence of certain minerals and metals.
“The rocks are different here,” said Scott Honan, NioCorp’s chief operating officer.
Back then local workers were hired to carry out exploratory drilling, digging up hundreds of core samples, tubes of earth, for testing. Stacks of them are stored in metal sheds on Beverly Beethe’s farm, where the mine would be located. Residents signed land leases with the company, which eventually bought 226 acres. Some landowners netted lucrative deals and could receive royalty payouts of as much as $10 million a year.
But the deals created bad blood. Some residents who were left out were miffed. Others like Ms. Beethe question whether they got a fair deal, especially in an area where the price of farmland has recently skyrocketed.
“The way I got treated, I hope that they don’t treat the community that way,” she said.
Many residents also are worried about damage from the toxic chemicals used in mining and processing.
They wonder about cancer cases near the mine site. Rare earth metals are found alongside radioactive elements. Mr. Smith said that at Elk Creek the amounts are so small they don’t require state licensing, but he said as a precaution NioCorp plans to seek licensing anyway and will carry out required monitoring.
Higher paying jobs would be welcome in the area, residents said, but still they wondered, how will the mine ever be able to find 400 workers? The nearby state prison has tried to fill vacancies by nearly doubling starting pay, to $28 an hour. Staff shortages are so severe at the local school district that the superintendent is pondering a four-day week for the next academic year. He already doubles as a bus driver because he can’t fill the job.
And what if the workers do come? “Where the hell are 400 more people going to eat in this town?” said Tim Weber, who opposes the mine.
Residents like Lavon Heidemann, a former lieutenant governor from Elk Creek, have benefited from the mine already. He was paid to help drill exploratory hole No. 7 back in the 1970s and now works as a local representative for NioCorp, fielding questions from his neighbors.
Mr. Heidemann sometimes stares out from his hilltop farm at the blinking lights on the wind turbines several miles away. They bug him a little. He worries the nation might be transitioning too quickly to renewables. But, he said, the Elk Creek mine would be good for America.
“I wish it wasn’t in my backyard, but it is. Other people sacrificed, and we need to sacrifice too,” Mr. Heidemann said. “I love this country to no end. We have challenges today and if we can help make it a better place in an environmentally safe way then, hot dog, I want to be a part of that.”

NioCorp's Rare Earth Demonstration Plant Showing Strong Rare Earth Recovery Results, in Line with Expectations - NioCorp Developments Ltd.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (February 6, 2023) – NioCorp Developments Ltd. (“NioCorp” or the “Company”) (TSX:NB) (OTCQX:NIOBF) today announced that its demonstration-scale processing plant (the “demonstration plant”) at L3 Process Development in Quebec, Canada has succeeded in producing a high-purity mixed rare earth concentrate from NioCorp’s integrated demonstration plant. These encouraging results lend support to the technical feasibility of separating high-purity oxides of several key magnetic rare earths, on which the U.S. is presently 100% dependent, primarily from China, from ore comprising the Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project (“Project“).
NioCorp’s patent-pending demonstration scale rare earth extraction and purification solvent extraction process operation is ongoing in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, using solutions generated by the upstream operations of the demonstration plant. The rare earths were then precipitated out of solution, producing a solid that contains 6% praseodymium (“Pr“) oxide, 25% neodymium (“Nd”) oxide, 0.35% terbium oxide (“Tb“), and 1.6% dysprosium (“Dy“) oxide, with the balance of the solids consisting primarily of rare earths with minor base metal impurities.

Based on these results, and subject to additional demonstration testing over the coming weeks, L3’s process engineering team have determined that overall recoveries for these four magnetic rare earths are likely to be greater than 92% and meet commercial purity specifications for magnetic rare earth oxides.

Morning Ann Arbor! It's MLB Opening Day! In their preseason rankings, ESPN gave the Detroit Tigers a 1% chance of making the playoffs and a 0% chance to win the World Series. Woof. Time to prove the haters wrong.
​
If baseball's not your speed, here are 3 other things to know:

• Friday - 5-Star QB Jadyn Davis announces his commitment (U of M is the favorite)
• Saturday - Michigan Football Spring Game
• Also Saturday - 52nd annual Hash Bash

​
Good luck to anyone looking for a parking spot on Saturday.

🚴 100 E-Bikes: After City Council's unanimous approval, a fleet of 100 rentable Spin e-bikes will soon be downtown. Spin, also the manufacturer of the 400 e-scooters around town, will share route data with the city for better mobility planning. Both the electric scooters and the electric bikes will be rentable through the Spin mobile app.
​
🌲 10,000 Free Trees: As part of Ann Arbor's plan to be carbon neutral by 2030 (the A2Zero program), the city is continuing its commitment to give out 10,000 trees. To date, the city has given out 3,677 trees.
​
👨‍🏫 GSIs Vote to Strike: For the second time in three years, GSIs (graduate student instructors) and GSSAs (graduate student staff assistants) have gone on strike. Among other points, the Graduate Employees’ Organization (GEO) is fighting for a 60-percent increase in pay (from $24,000 a year to $38,000 a year). Despite the strike, classes continued on Wednesday as U of M turned to substitute instructors and alternative means of instruction.
​
⚽️ North Campus Fields: U of M's Board of Regents approved the construction of two new turf fields on North Campus. The sports fields will accommodate intramural programs, club practices and competitions, student drop-ins, and other programs for students, faculty and staff.

​
📸 Work Zone Speed Cameras: A newly proposed Michigan House Bill would allow for the installation of automated speeding cameras in construction zones. Introduced by House Rep. Will Snyder (D-Muskegon), the bill would ticket any drivers traveling 10 mph over the speed limit. On average, 14 Michigan road workers are killed annually by traffic accidents.
​
🍺 Stadium Drinks: Rep. Graham Filler (R-St. Johns) introduced a Michigan House Bill that would allow university stadiums to serve alcohol during sporting events. Under the bill, drinks could be served 1 hour before the event starts until 30 minutes before the event ends. While the Michigan Licensed Beverage Association (MLBA) has not formally approved the bill, the MLBA is supportive of universities getting licenses “with limitations”. The bill now heads to the House Regulatory Reform Committee for consideration.

It is not surprising to write about marketing through Tik Tok, considering that it has the record of being the fastest social network in user acquisition.
In this article, we'll explore why you should use TikTok ads and how you can do it.
If you have followed teenagers and young people on social networks, you will understand its impact. TikTok has grown rapidly and has become the seventh largest social networking platform in the world. It has a more significant following than some of the more well-known platforms such as Snapchat, Twitter and LinkedIn.
In fact, TikTok was ranked sixth in the world by active users in 2019, and its success continued into 2020. The essence of TikTok is to share and view 15-60 second videos, the number of ads is limited compared to Twitter, which reduces your chances of being seen.

Types of TikTok ads

1. Ads in Feed

​
This is the most affordable option for small and medium businesses. These ads are generally cheaper than other types. These ads will be displayed on your users' "For You" pages.

1. Brand establishment

​
As soon as someone opens their TikTok app, they are shown the screen for a few seconds before seeing an ad in their feed.

1. TikTok hashtags containing the brand name

​
Hashtags have become one of the main functions of TikTok. Like someone creating a challenge video, encouraging their viewers to repeat a certain action, filming themselves and uploading their effort. Hashtags are the challenges of regular and influential TikTok members. However, they are paid for by brands so they are prioritized by TikTok.

TikTok advertising cost

You can now set your budget and AI TikTok's bids for ad placements on your behalf. The exact cost of each ad depends on factors such as marketing goals, targeted keywords, the number of audience you intend to reach, hours of the day and week, and your competition for ads in people's news sources.
The ad slide limit (compared to other social networks like Facebook and Twitter) may still make TikTok ads unsuitable for small businesses.

Bond Market in Limbo as Investors Wait for Economic Signals

By FLGT, Phoenix Community
The US Treasury market is in a state of flux as investors assess the state of the US economy. On March 30, 2023, Treasury yields held steady as investors remained cautious, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note hovering around 1.5%. The Federal Reserve has signaled that it will maintain its accommodative policy stance for the time being, but investors remain wary of inflation and rising interest rates.
The US economy has been on a rollercoaster ride over the past two years, with the COVID-19 pandemic causing a severe downturn in 2020, followed by a strong rebound in 2021. However, concerns over inflation, supply chain disruptions, and the spread of the Omicron variant of the virus have led to increased uncertainty in the market.
Investors are closely watching economic data for signs of the direction the economy will take. The recent jobs report showed that the US economy added 195,000 jobs in February 2023, slightly less than expected. The report also showed that wages rose by 0.4%, suggesting that inflation could be on the rise. In addition, the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, rose by 2.8% in January 2023, the highest level in almost 40 years.
Investors are also watching the Federal Reserve for any signs of a policy change. The central bank has been buying $120 billion of bonds per month and has kept interest rates near zero since the onset of the pandemic. However, some officials have suggested that it may be time to start scaling back these policies in light of the strong economic recovery.
The state of the US economy has implications for the global financial markets as well. The US Treasury market is considered a benchmark for interest rates around the world, and any changes in US monetary policy could have ripple effects on other economies. The strength of the US economy also has implications for global trade and investment flows.

The current state of the Treasury market has led to mixed signals for investors. On one hand, the yield curve has flattened, with longer-term yields remaining relatively low. This suggests that investors are not overly concerned about inflation or interest rate hikes in the near term. On the other hand, some analysts have noted that the lack of movement in the Treasury market could be a sign of complacency and that investors may be underestimating the risks facing the economy.
The outlook for the Treasury market remains uncertain, and investors will continue to monitor economic data and policy announcements for signals of the direction the market will take. In the meantime, some investors may be turning to alternative assets, such as cryptocurrencies or real estate, in search of higher returns.
As a final point, the US Treasury market is currently in a state of limbo as investors assess the state of the US economy. The yield curve has flattened, and yields remain relatively low, suggesting that investors are not overly concerned about inflation or interest rate hikes in the near term. However, some analysts warn that this could be a sign of complacency and that investors may be underestimating the risks facing the economy. Investors will continue to monitor economic data and policy announcements for signals of the direction the market will take.

Biaheza's Full Dropshipping Course
Exactly how I started a multi-million dollar business from my bedroom.
In this course I don’t talk about regurgitated strategies that should work “in theory” and “mindset” like most. Instead we go through step by step and build a real live dropshipping store that does over one thousand dollars it’s first full day of being live (profitable right from the get go). I explain everything along the way and talk about how I scale much further from there!
FEATURES OF THE COURSE The main focus of this course is to help beginners build a store on Shopify and market it through Tik Tok ads. As Facebook ads got more strict, expensive and less effective, a lot of dropshippers have silently moved over to Tik Tok.
Due to the pandemic, people are more used to longer shipping times than ever. Combined with how effective and profitable Tik Tok ads currently are, I truthfully don’t think there has been a better time to get into dropshipping. This is the most revealing piece of content I have ever put out, as I even reveal some of my personal best selling products
My process for starting these stores is fairly similar every time, meaning you can use these exact steps to start your own The style of website you will learn to build in this program is simple to create yet has lead to world class level conversion rates.
