Super erwähnenswertes "Finding" Danke!
...dies hier ist eine durchweg positive Nachrichten und zeigt die Dinge entwickeln sich im Hintergrund.
... es lässt nur annähernd erahnen wie wichtig Niocorp für den neuen Markt Scandium-Super Alloys sein wird...
Konsortium aus Auston Martin, Boing UK, Sarginsons und andere gewinnt Funding über 8 Millionen USD.
Das ist die Initiative das Seltene Erde Metal Scandium für den Automobilsektor und die Luftfahrt marktreif zu machen. Niocorp nimmt hier eine Schlüsselrolle ein in diesem Industriekonsortium.

CENTENNIAL, CO / ACCESSWIRE / 29. Oktober 2024 / NioCorp Developments Ltd. („NioCorp“ oder das „Unternehmen“) (NASDAQ:NB) freut sich bekannt zu geben, dass ein Industriekonsortium, in dem das Unternehmen mit Automobilherstellern und führenden Unternehmen der Lieferkette zusammenarbeitet, von der britischen Regierung Mittel zur Unterstützung eines 8-Millionen-US-Dollar-Programms erhalten hat, um leichte Aluminiumlegierungen und gegossene Automobilkomponenten aus recyceltem, durch Scandium verstärktem Aluminium zu entwickeln, die NioCorp in seinem Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project in Nebraska herstellen will.
An dem Projekt PIVOT („Performance Integrated Vehicle Optimization Technology“) sind Unternehmen wie Aston Martin, Sarginsons, Altair, GESCRAP und die Brunel University London beteiligt. Dem Lenkungsausschuss des Projekts gehören Jaguar Land Rover, Boeing UK, Alcon Industries, Linamar, Shell Re-Charge und andere an.
Die Finanzierung durch die britische Regierung in Höhe von insgesamt rund 3,8 Millionen US-Dollar, die durch Mittel der Projektteilnehmer ergänzt werden, wurde vom Advanced Propulsion Centre UK (APC) nach einem wettbewerbsorientierten Verfahren vergeben. Das Projekt PIVOT wird von der in Coventry, Großbritannien, ansässigen Aluminiumgießerei und dem Maschinenbauunternehmen Sarginsons geleitet und zielt darauf ab, die globale Gussindustrie durch eine Überarbeitung von Design, Gewicht, Kohlenstoffintensität und Produktion von Aluminiumguss zu revolutionieren, wobei ein 100%iger Recyclinganteil angestrebt wird.
Roberto Fedeli, Group Chief Technology Officer of Aston Martin, said: "The award of funding from the APC is a major boost to Project PIVOT, which seeks to leverage advanced metal solidification and digital-twin simulations to manufacture low-carbon alloys which will ultimately uplift the level of recycled content we feature in Aston Martin models. We look forward to progressing this project collaboratively with Sarginsons and our other research partners. We thank the APC for their incredible support, following on from their backing of our electrification programme last year."
NioCorp's Role in Project Pivot
NioCorp is working closely with the collaborative and will, among other things, be providing aluminum-scandium master alloy for the group's research and prototype parts development efforts.
In response to the UK funding announcement, Mark A. Smith, CEO and Executive Chairman of NioCorp, said: "NioCorp is proud to be a supporting member of Project Pivot and to be working with Aston Martin, Jaguar Land Rover, Sarginsons, and other automotive industry leaders in this revolutionary effort to design lightweight cast automotive components that unlock the value of scandium by enabling greater use of lower-cost recycled aluminum in these platforms."

CENTENNIAL, CO / ACCESSWIRE / October 29, 2024 / NioCorp Developments Ltd. ("NioCorp" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:NB) is pleased to announce that an industry consortium in which it is working with automakers, manufacturers, and supply chain leaders has been awarded funding by the UK Government to support an US$8 million program to design lightweight aluminum alloys and cast automotive components made of recycled aluminum strengthened by scandium, which NioCorp intends to produce at its Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project in Nebraska.
The collaborative, known as Project PIVOT ("Performance Integrated Vehicle Optimization Technology"), includes such companies as Aston Martin, Sarginsons, Altair, GESCRAP, and Brunel University London. The Project's Steering Committee includes Jaguar Land Rover, Boeing UK, Alcon Industries, Linamar, Shell Re-Charge, and others.
The UK government funding, which totals approximately US$3.8 million and will be supplemented by funds from project participants, was awarded by the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK (APC) following a competitive process. Project PIVOT is led by Coventry, UK-based aluminum foundry and engineering company Sarginsons and seeks to revolutionize the global casting industry through overhauling the design, weight, carbon intensity and production of cast aluminum, with a target of 100% recycled content.
Roberto Fedeli, Group Chief Technology Officer of Aston Martin, said: "The award of funding from the APC is a major boost to Project PIVOT, which seeks to leverage advanced metal solidification and digital-twin simulations to manufacture low-carbon alloys which will ultimately uplift the level of recycled content we feature in Aston Martin models.

Scott Honan, NioCorp COO, added: "Project Pivot is aimed at solving real-world challenges and doing so on an accelerated timeline that happens to line up very well with NioCorp's plans to come online with approximately 100 tonnes per year of US-produced scandium oxide from our Elk Creek Project in Nebraska. By almost any measure, the automotive industry has the potential to consume many hundreds of tonnes per year of scandium, and NioCorp will remain focused on supplying the scandium that this large potential market demands."
