NioBay Metals announced initial drill results from its 2026 summer-autumn campaign at the Crevier Project in Quebec. The program returned multiple mineralized intercepts for both niobium and tantalum, with several intercepts showing grades significantly higher than the deposit's average and previous bests. These new results will be incorporated into an updated resource estimate for the project.
NioBay Metals is seeking financial and strategic partners to accelerate the development of its Crevier niobium-tantalum project in Quebec. The company aims to move toward a prefeasibility study and environmental assessment, targeting first production in the early 2030s.
Nio Strategic Metals Inc. announced positive results from a metallurgical study on its Oka deposit, confirming strong niobium and rare earth element content. Flotation test work achieved a substantial improvement in niobium recovery to 81.14% at a concentrate grade of 52.75% Nb₂O₅, compared to historical results. The study also identified significant rare earth element, zirconium, and tantalum content in the concentrate, and demonstrated a novel approach to reduce thorium and uranium in residues, enhancing the project's environmental profile.
NioBay Metals Inc. has successfully produced high-purity niobium oxide (~99.6%) and tantalum oxide (~99.98%) through a calcination and hydrometallurgical process at the Crevier Project. These results confirm the effectiveness of the purification process and meet the specifications required by potential customers for battery and superalloy applications.
NioBay Metals Inc. has announced successful purification results for its Crevier project, achieving niobium oxide purity of ~99.6% and tantalum oxide purity of ~99.98%. These results, verified by SGS Canada, confirm the technical effectiveness of the calcination and hydrometallurgical processes.
NIOB has completed a drilling program at the Bardy property in Québec, achieving a 100% success rate in intersecting targeted pegmatite dykes using a radon-anomaly targeting approach. Visual logging identified rare-earth minerals in six of the eight holes, with hole BBY-2026-006 showing the strongest mineralization and remaining open at depth.
NIOB has completed its 2026 drill program at the Bardy property in Quebec, with all eight holes intersecting targeted pegmatite dykes. While visual logging identified rare-earth bearing minerals like allanite, quantitative assay results are still pending.
North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Corp. has released final assay results for drill hole SGN-2026-007 at the Seigneurie Project in Québec. The hole returned significant niobium oxide intercepts and an unexpected copper zone deeper in the hole.
North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Corp. has completed a drill program at its Seigneurie project in Québec. The results confirm that the pegmatite-syenite system extends laterally for at least 1.5 kilometres, though specific assay results are still pending.
North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Corp. has reported a substantial 108.60 metre pegmatite intersection at its Seigneurie project in Québec. While the intersection is described as one of the widest publicly disclosed, assays are still pending.
