NioBay Mining “smells good” in Charlevoix (in French only) | Ulysse Bergeron | 8/20/24 | La Presse
Since the announcement of the waiver of sanctions imposed by Canada to allow aerospace companies to import titanium from Russia, NioBay Metals has been working hard to start drilling this autumn and confirm the presence of titanium on the edge of the Grands-Jardins park in Charlevoix.
Jean-Sébastien David, President and CEO of NioBay Metals, talks with Jean-Michel from Invercio at the Mining Investment of the North conference in Quebec. He briefly explains his various ongoing projects and the minerals in which the company invests. He notes that there is currently an interesting opportunity regarding titanium, which is the reason for their new Foothills acquisition.
In an interview at Québec Mines + Énergie 2024, NioBay Metals President and CEO Jean-Sébastien David explains his background, his plans, and why Canada should be self-sufficient in resources such as niobium and titanium.
At the Current Trends in Mining Finance Conference, hosted by the NY Chapter of the SME, Michael Fox is joined by Jean-Sébastien David, President and CEO of NioBay Metals, to discuss the findings from the re-examination of historic cores on the Foothills Project.
In this interview on The Deep Dive YouTube channel, Jean-Sébastien David, CEO of NioBay Metals, discusses his main projects: the James Bay niobium project in Ontario, the Crevier project in Quebec, aimed at the battery market, and his latest acquisition, named Foothills.
In the video, Jean-Sébastien discusses his passion for niobium, a rare and precious resource that has yet to be exploited, but for which demand is growing. This resource is useful in many everyday compounds, including batteries. “The niobium market has come a long way, especially in the last five years, with several major discoveries,” he stated.
He points out that NioBay enjoys a superb collaboration with universities that benefit from government investment funds for research into niobium, which is proving to be an efficient and less costly alternative to other platinum group metals for hydrogen production.
A few months ago, NioBay diversified its portfolio by signing an option agreement to purchase a majority interest in the Foothills site, a phosphate-titanium rich site with very promising high-grade sampling results. Drilling is planned for the near future.
Mr. David anticipates a very busy 2024 for NioBay, with significant advances for his projects!
