Niobium Prices are Stable

USD/kg Nb

Niobium is one of the only commodity which price remained fairly stable in recent years $50

World average FeNb price (converted in USD)

$45 $40 $35 $30 $25

Between 2006 and 2008, the price of ferroniobium increased to address what appeared to be a structural under-valuing of niobium. Up to that point, the strong growth in demand for ferroniobium had not been reflected in its price.

US dollar strength towards the Yen, Euro and Renminbi caused the reported price in USD to decline. Real prices in local currencies remained stable.

James Bay Niobium History Discovered in 1966 Historical estimate of 62Mt @ 0.52% Nb2O5 established by Bechtel Canada Ltd. in 19671 Open at depth

Major exploration work carried from 1967 to 1969 14,000 meters of drilling at an average depth of 170 meters in 85 holes, in sections of 61 meters intervals along a strike of 730 meters1 Exploration shaft (~130' ) & a 250' cross-cut

225Mt extracted for metallurgical testing (pilot plant)

Lakefield Research carried out metallurgical tests Overall recovery of 78%, very low impurities, and high grade concentrate1

Feasibility study completed by Bechtel Canada Ltd. in 1969

Economic studies completed in the 1960s does not mean the James Bay Niobium deposit would be found to be economic today. NioBay Metals is not treating the historical results as a current mineral resource nor as having been verified by a qualified person.
