NioCorp signs Traxys offtake deal covering Elk Creek ferroniobium and other products
NioCorp's majority-owned subsidiary Elk Creek Resources signed an Offtake Agreement with Traxys North America on October 13, 2026, replacing prior ferroniobium and scandium offtake agreements with Traxys. The deal gives Traxys take-or-pay purchase rights on 50% of annual ferroniobium output and exclusive marketing rights for 100% of other Elk Creek products, which matters to shareholders because it sets the sales framework for the project's planned output.
Key points
- Agreement dated October 13, 2026, between Elk Creek Resources and Traxys North America LLC
- Traxys to buy 50% of annual ferroniobium production on a take-or-pay basis, or 3,700 metric tonnes per year at Traxys' election
- Term of 15 years from the Commercial Production Date, followed by two automatic one-year renewals
- Either party may terminate if the Export-Import Bank of the United States has not given final approval of senior debt financing by December 31, 2027
