<P STYLE="font: 16pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"><B>NioCorp Developments Ltd.</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"><B>17,519,864 Common Shares</B></P>

<!-- Field: Rule-Page --><DIV STYLE="margin: 6pt auto; width: 2in"><DIV STYLE="font-size: 1pt; border-top: Black 1pt solid">&nbsp;</DIV></DIV><!-- Field: /Rule-Page -->

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 6pt; text-indent: 0.25in">This prospectus relates to the issuance by us
of up to an aggregate of 17,519,864 of our common shares, without par value (&ldquo;Common Shares&rdquo;), that may be issued upon exercise
of 15,666,626 warrants issued in connection with the Transactions (as defined herein) (the &ldquo;NioCorp Assumed Warrants&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 6pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Each NioCorp Assumed Warrant is exercisable
for 1.11829212 Common Shares for cash or, as permitted in certain circumstances in accordance with their terms and the NioCorp Assumed
Warrant Agreement (as defined herein), on a cashless basis at a price per 1.11829212 Common Shares of $11.50, and will expire five years
after the Closing Date (as defined herein), at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Upon exercise, we will receive the cash exercise
price of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants (assuming that they are not exercised on a cashless basis). We believe the likelihood that NioCorp
Assumed Warrant holders will exercise their NioCorp Assumed Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive,
is, among other things, dependent upon the market price of our Common Shares. For so long as the market price for our Common Shares is
less than the exercise price of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants (as is the case as of the date of this prospectus), we believe such holders
will be unlikely to exercise their NioCorp Assumed Warrants. We expect to use the net proceeds that we receive from the exercise of the
NioCorp Assumed Warrants, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes, including to advance our efforts to launch construction
of the Elk Creek Project and move it to commercial operation. See &ldquo;Use of Proceeds.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">If all of the Common Shares covered by this
prospectus were issued and outstanding, they would represent a substantial percentage of our public float and of our outstanding Common
Shares. As of April 11, 2023, the Common Shares covered by this prospectus would represent approximately 36.81% of the total number
of outstanding Common Shares (assuming all of the Common Shares covered by this prospectus were issued and outstanding and not including
Common Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, or reserved for future issuance, under the NioCorp Developments Ltd.
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the &ldquo;LTIP&rdquo;), Common Shares issuable in respect of the Commitment Amount (as defined herein) pursuant
to the Yorkville Equity Facility Financing Agreement (as defined herein) or Common Shares issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of other outstanding securities, as described herein). Accordingly, the sale of the Common Shares covered by this prospectus, or the perception
that such sales may occur, could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Common Shares. Moreover, the sale
of additional Common Shares by us or by other security holders, or the perception that such sales may occur, could result in a further
decline in the public trading price of our Common Shares. See &ldquo;Risk Factors&mdash;Additional Risks Related to this Offering and
Our Common Shares.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 6pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Our Common Shares trade on The Nasdaq Global
Market under the symbol &ldquo;NB&rdquo; and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the &ldquo;TSX&rdquo;) under the symbol &ldquo;NB.&rdquo;
On April 11, 2023, the last reported sale price of our Common Shares on The Nasdaq Global
Market and the TSX was $6.82 per Common Share and C$9.02
per Common Share, respectively. The public NioCorp Assumed Warrants trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol &ldquo;NIOBW.&rdquo; On April 11, 2023, the last reported sale price of the public NioCorp Assumed Warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market was $0.792 per public NioCorp Assumed Warrant.

in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties. NioCorp, through its indirect, majority-owned subsidiary, ECRC,
is developing a superalloy materials project that, if and when developed, will produce niobium, scandium, and titanium products. Known
as the &ldquo;Elk Creek Project,&rdquo; it is located near Elk Creek, Nebraska, in the southeast portion of the state.</P>

used in high-strength low-alloy steel, a stronger steel used in automobiles, bridges, structural systems, buildings, pipelines, and other
applications that generally enables those applications to be stronger and lighter in mass. This &ldquo;lightweighting&rdquo; benefit often
results in environmental benefits, including reduced fuel consumption and material usage, which can result in fewer air emissions.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Global, LP, a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, dated January 26, 2023 (the &ldquo;Yorkville Equity Facility Financing

the Yorkville Equity Facility Financing Agreement otherwise terminates in accordance with its terms (the &ldquo;Commitment
Period&rdquo;), subject to certain limitations and the satisfaction of the conditions in the Yorkville Equity Facility Financing
Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Yorkville Equity Facility Financing Agreement, we issued 81,213 of our Common Shares (the
&ldquo;Commitment Shares&rdquo;) to YA as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase Common Shares under the Yorkville
Equity Facility Financing Agreement. Additionally, we are required to pay YA an aggregate fee of $1,500,000 in cash (the &ldquo;Cash
Fee&rdquo;), including $500,000 that we paid on the Closing Date and the remainder that we will pay in installments over a 12-month
period following the Closing Date, provided that, we will have the right to prepay without penalty all or part of the remaining
installments of the Cash Fee at any time.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Investing in our Common Shares involves a high
degree of risk. Before making a decision to invest in our Common Shares, you should carefully consider the risks described below and under
the heading &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; in the applicable prospectus supplement, and discussed under Part I, Item 1A. &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo;
contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and Part II, Item 1A. &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; contained in our subsequent
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the applicable
prospectus supplement in their entirety, together with other information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement and
the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. See the sections of this prospectus entitled &ldquo;Where You Can Find More
Information&rdquo; and &ldquo;Incorporation of Documents by Reference.&rdquo; Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to
us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The occurrence of
any of these known or unknown risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our Common Shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify"><B>Additional Risks Related to this Offering
and Our Common Shares</B></P>

perception of future sales, of Common Shares covered by this prospectus could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common
Shares.</I></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">If all of the Common Shares covered by this
prospectus were issued and outstanding, they would represent a substantial percentage of our public float and of our outstanding Common
Shares. As of April 11, 2023, the Common Shares covered by this prospectus would represent approximately 36.81% of the total number
of outstanding Common Shares (assuming all of the Common Shares covered by this prospectus were issued and outstanding and not including
Common Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, or reserved for future issuance, under the LTIP, Common Shares issuable
in respect of the Commitment Amount pursuant to the Yorkville Equity Facility Financing Agreement or Common Shares issuable upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of other outstanding securities, as described herein). Accordingly, the sale of the Common Shares covered by this
prospectus, or the perception that such sales may occur, could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Common
Shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"><B><I>We may not recognize
the full value of the Yorkville Equity Facility Financing Agreement and may not receive any proceeds from the exercise of the NioCorp
Assumed Warrants, the Financing Warrants and our other outstanding Common Share purchase warrants, and the potential adverse effect on
the prevailing market prices for our Common Shares as a result of sales, or the perception of future sales, of Common Shares covered by
this prospectus could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital and you could lose all or part of your investment.</I></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Although we have entered into the Yorkville
Equity Facility Financing Agreement, we may not recognize the full value thereof. Specifically, our ability to sell Common Shares to YA
pursuant to the Yorkville Equity Facility Financing Agreement is subject to certain restrictions and limitations, which may prevent us
from selling the full Commitment Amount prior to the expiration of the Commitment Period. Our ability to recognize the full value of the
Yorkville Equity Facility Financing Agreement may be further impeded by the potential negative pressure on the market price of our Common
Shares as a result of sales, or the perception of future sales, of the Common Shares covered by this prospectus. As a result, there can
be no assurance that we will receive all or even a significant portion of the proceeds that we expect to receive in connection with the
Yorkville Equity Facility Financing Agreement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">In addition, upon exercise, we will receive
the cash exercise price of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants (assuming that they are not exercised on a cashless basis). Further, we will receive
the cash exercise price of the Financing Warrants and our other outstanding Common Share purchase warrants upon exercise (assuming, with
respect to the Financing Warrants, that the holders do not exercise their Financing Warrants on a cashless basis). We believe the likelihood
that holders of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants, the Financing Warrants or other outstanding Common Share purchase warrants will exercise
their NioCorp Assumed Warrants, Financing Warrants or other outstanding Common Share purchase warrants, and therefore the amount of cash
proceeds that we would receive, is, among other things, dependent upon the market price of our Common Shares. For so long as the market
price for our Common Shares is less than the applicable exercise price of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants, the Financing Warrants or other
outstanding Common Share purchase warrants (as is the case as of the date of this prospectus), we believe such holders will be unlikely
to exercise their NioCorp Assumed Warrants, Financing Warrants or other</P>

effect on the prevailing market price of our Common Shares as a result of sales of Common Shares covered by this prospectus, or the perception
that such sales may occur, could keep the market price for our Common Shares below the applicable exercise price of the NioCorp Assumed
Warrants, the Financing Warrants or other outstanding Common Share purchase warrants. Accordingly, the holders of the NioCorp Assumed
Warrants, the Financing Warrants or other outstanding Common Share purchase warrants may not exercise their NioCorp Assumed Warrants,
Financing Warrants or other outstanding Common Share purchase warrants before they expire, and we may not receive any proceeds from the
exercise of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants, the Financing Warrants or other outstanding Common Share purchase warrants.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">We incurred significant debt in connection
with the Transactions, including upon issuance of the Convertible Debentures, and we require significant additional capital to operate
our business. For example, notwithstanding whether we are able to recognize the full value of the Yorkville Equity Facility Financing
Agreement or receive the cash exercise price of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants, the Financing Warrants or other outstanding Common Share
purchase warrants, we are obligated to repay or issue Common Shares upon settlement of the full $16.0 million aggregate principal amount
of the Convertible Debentures. Such significant additional debt could adversely affect our business, which may prevent us from fulfilling
our obligations with respect to our existing debt or obtaining future financing. Further, the Yorkville Convertible Debt Financing Agreement
restricts us from pursuing certain variable rate financing transactions, which could impair our ability to obtain additional financing
on terms that are favorable, or at all. In addition, if the market price of the Common Shares were to drop as a result of sales, or the
perception of future sales, of the Common Shares covered by this prospectus, this might impede our ability to raise additional capital.
Our inability to obtain additional financing on terms that are favorable, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations and prospects, and you may lose all or part of your investment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Subject to compliance with applicable securities
laws, sales of a substantial number of Common Shares in the public market could occur at any time, including issuances and sales of additional
Common Shares by us, sales of Common Shares by NioCorp Assumed Warrant holders following the exercise of such holders&rsquo; NioCorp Assumed
Warrants and sales by other security holders. These sales, or the market perception that the holders of a large number of Common Shares
or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Shares intend to sell Common Shares, could reduce the prevailing market
price of the Common Shares. The effect, if any, that future public sales of these securities or the availability of these securities for
sale will have on the market price of the Common Shares is uncertain. If the market price of the Common Shares were to drop as a result,
this might impede our ability to raise additional capital and might cause remaining shareholders to lose all or part of their investment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Following the Closing, the Sponsor, the members
of the Sponsor, the advisors of GXII that received Common Shares as part of their fee in connection with the Closing, as well as the pre-Closing
directors and officers of NioCorp, are subject to &ldquo;lock-up&rdquo; restrictions. The provisions of these &ldquo;lock-up&rdquo; restrictions
may be waived under limited circumstances and allow us to, among other things, issue additional Common Shares, or allow the directors
and officers of NioCorp or its shareholders to sell their Common Shares at any time. There are no pre-established conditions for the grant
of such a waiver by the relevant parties, and any decision by the applicable parties to waive those conditions may depend on a number
of factors, which might include market conditions, the performance of the Common Shares in the market and our financial condition at that
time. If the &ldquo;lock-up&rdquo; restrictions of the applicable shareholders or the directors and officers of NioCorp are waived, additional
Common Shares will be available for sale into the public market, subject to applicable securities laws, which, in both cases, could reduce
the prevailing market price for the Common Shares.</P>

Debt Financing Agreement, YA may convert the Convertible Debentures and exercise the Financing Warrants from time to time, subject to
certain limitations, and we will issue Common Shares to YA upon such conversions and exercises. We have filed a registration
statement under the Securities Act covering resales by YA of the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures

Common Shares under the Yorkville Equity Facility Financing Agreement. We have filed a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering resales by YA of the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Yorkville Equity Facility Financing

company (&ldquo;PFIC&rdquo;) for any taxable year, or portion thereof, that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder (as defined
in &ldquo;Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,&rdquo; below) of Common Shares, such U.S. Holder may be subject to
certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and additional reporting requirements. NioCorp believes it was classified as a PFIC
during its taxable years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 and, based on the current composition of its income and assets, as well
as current business plans and financial expectations, may be treated as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the Transactions occurred
or in future taxable years. Any conclusion regarding PFIC status is a factual determination that must be made annually at the close of
each taxable year and, thus, is subject to change. In addition, even if NioCorp concluded it did not qualify as a PFIC, it is possible
that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the &ldquo;IRS&rdquo;) could assert, and that a court could sustain, a determination that NioCorp
is a PFIC. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that NioCorp will not be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year. Each holder of Common

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Section 7874 and related sections of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &ldquo;Code&rdquo;), provide for certain adverse tax consequences when the stock of a U.S.
corporation is acquired by a non-U.S. corporation in certain transactions in which former shareholders of the U.S. corporation come to
own 60% or more of the stock of the non-U.S. corporation (by vote or value, and applying certain specific counting and ownership rules).
These adverse tax consequences include (i) potential additional required gain recognition by the U.S. corporation, (ii) treatment of certain
payments to the non-U.S. corporation that reduce gross income as &ldquo;base erosion payments,&rdquo; (iii) an excise tax on certain options
and stock-based compensation of the U.S. corporation, (iv) disallowance of &ldquo;qualified dividend&rdquo; treatment for distributions
by the non-U.S. corporation, and (v) if former shareholders of the U.S. corporation come to own 80% or more of the stock of the non-U.S.
corporation, treatment of the non-U.S. corporation as a U.S. corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income (in
addition to any tax imposed by non-U.S. jurisdictions). If the Transactions result in the application of any of these, or any other, adverse
tax consequences, NioCorp could incur significant additional tax costs. While NioCorp currently does not believe the Transactions will
cause such adverse tax consequences as a result of Section 7874 and related sections of the Code, this determination is subject to significant
legal and factual uncertainty. NioCorp has not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS as to the tax treatment of any of the
Transactions. Further, there can be no assurance that your tax advisor, the IRS, or a court, will agree with the position that NioCorp
is not subject to these adverse tax consequences.</P>

issuance by us of the Common Shares that may be issued from time to time upon exercise of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants. All
of the Common Shares offered pursuant to this prospectus and actually issued will be sold by the holders for their own
accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales. However, we will receive the cash exercise price of the
NioCorp Assumed Warrants upon exercise thereof, unless such NioCorp Assumed Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, as
permitted in certain circumstances in accordance with their terms and the NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agreement. If all of the
NioCorp Assumed Warrants outstanding as of the date hereof are exercised, we will issue 17,519,864 Common Shares and will
receive maximum aggregate proceeds of approximately $180.2 million, which will be reduced by the amount that holders of the
NioCorp Assumed Warrants will not pay if any NioCorp Assumed Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis. We have no assurance
that any of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants will be exercised. We believe the likelihood that NioCorp Assumed Warrant holders
will exercise their NioCorp Assumed Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is, among
other things, dependent upon the market price of our Common Shares. For so long as the market price for our Common Shares is
less than the exercise price of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants (as is the case as of the date of this prospectus), we believe
such holders will be unlikely to exercise their NioCorp Assumed Warrants. See &ldquo;Description of Capital
Stock&mdash;NioCorp Assumed Warrants&rdquo; for a discussion of the exercise price of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants and
adjustments thereto.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">We expect to use the net proceeds that we receive
from the exercise of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes, including to advance our
efforts to launch construction of the Elk Creek Project and move it to commercial operation.</P>

the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of public
NioCorp Assumed Warrants. If the Company takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary
to calculate the number of Common Shares to be received upon exercise of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants, including the &ldquo;fair market
value&rdquo; in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of Common Shares to be issued and thereby
lessen the dilutive effect of a redemption of the public NioCorp Assumed Warrants. If the Company calls the public NioCorp Assumed Warrants
for redemption and does not take advantage of this option, the Sponsor, its members, and their respective affiliates and other permitted
transferees would still be entitled to exercise their NioCorp Assumed Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula
described above that other NioCorp Assumed Warrant holders would have been required to use had all NioCorp Assumed Warrant holders been

with U.S. federal income tax principles, and U.S. Holders may have to assume that any distribution by the Company with respect to the
Common Shares will constitute ordinary dividend income. Dividends received on Common Shares by a corporate U.S. Holder (other than certain
10% corporate shareholders) generally will not be eligible for a &ldquo;dividends received deduction.&rdquo; Provided that (1) the Company
is eligible for the benefits of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention or (2) the Common Shares are readily tradable on a United States securities
market (and certain holding period and other conditions are satisfied), dividends paid by the Company to non-corporate U.S. Holders ,
including individuals, will be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains for dividends unless the
Company is classified as a PFIC in the tax year of distribution or in the preceding tax year. See &ldquo;&mdash;Passive Foreign Investment
Company Rules&mdash;Risk of PFIC Status for the Company&rdquo; below. The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult
its own tax advisors regarding the application of such rules.</P>

of Common Shares, subject to the potential application of the PFIC rules as described below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the U.S. dollar value of cash received plus the fair market value of any
property received and (ii) such U.S. Holder&rsquo;s adjusted tax basis in such Common Shares sold or otherwise disposed of. A U.S. Holder&rsquo;s
tax basis in Common Shares generally will be determined initially by the holder&rsquo;s U.S. dollar cost for the Common Shares (subject
to any adjustments provided under the PFIC rules, described below). Subject again to the PFIC rules, gain or loss recognized on such sale
or other disposition generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other disposition, the Common Shares
have been held for more than one year. Any gain or loss will generally be U.S. source for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">If the Company were to constitute a PFIC under
the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code for any taxable year during a U.S. Holder&rsquo;s holding period, then certain potentially adverse
U.S. federal income tax rules may apply to a U.S. Holder of Common Shares. While this summary cannot describe all of the potentially adverse
consequences that would result if the Company were treated as a PFIC for a relevant taxable year, certain material consequences and related
considerations are described below.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">The Company believes that it was classified
as a PFIC during the tax years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and, based on the current composition of its income and assets, as well as
current business plans and financial expectations, may meet the PFIC qualification tests for its current tax year or in future tax years.
No opinion of legal counsel or ruling from the IRS concerning the PFIC status of the Company or any Subsidiary has been obtained or is
currently planned to be requested. The determination of whether any corporation was, or will be, a PFIC for a tax year depends, in part,
on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. In addition, whether any
corporation will be a PFIC for any tax year depends on the assets and income of such corporation over the course of each such tax year
and, as a result, cannot be predicted with certainty as of the date of this document. In addition, even if the Company concluded that
it or any Subsidiary did not qualify as a PFIC, the IRS could challenge any determination made by the Company (or any subsidiary of the
Company) concerning its PFIC status in any taxable year, and a court could sustain such challenge. Accordingly, there can be no assurance
that the Company or any Subsidiary will not be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisors
regarding the PFIC status of the Company and each subsidiary of the Company.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">In any taxable year in which the Company is
classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will be required to file an annual report with the IRS containing such information as Treasury Regulations
and/or other IRS guidance may require. IRS Form 8621 is currently used for such filings. In addition to penalties, a failure to satisfy
such reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax. U.S. Holders should consult
their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing such information returns under these rules, including the requirement to file
an IRS Form 8621 annually.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">The Company generally would be a PFIC for a
taxable year if, for such year, (a) 75% or more of the gross income of the Company is passive income (the &ldquo;PFIC income test&rdquo;)
or (b) 50% or more of the value of the Company&rsquo;s assets either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive
income, based on the quarterly average of the fair market value of such assets (the &ldquo;PFIC asset test&rdquo;). &ldquo;Gross income&rdquo;
generally includes all sales revenues less the cost of goods sold, plus income from investments and from incidental or outside operations
or sources, and &ldquo;passive income&rdquo; generally includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain
gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions.</P>

producer, processor, merchant or handler of commodities, and certain other requirements are satisfied.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">For purposes of the PFIC income test and PFIC
asset test described above, if the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another
corporation, the Company will be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other corporation and (b) received
directly a proportionate share of the income of such other corporation. In addition, for purposes of the PFIC income test and PFIC asset
test described above, and assuming certain other requirements are met, &ldquo;passive income&rdquo; does not include certain interest,
dividends, rents, or royalties that are received or accrued by the Company from certain &ldquo;related persons&rdquo; (as defined in Section
954(d)(3) of the Code) also organized in Canada, to the extent such items are properly allocable to the income of such related person
that is neither passive income nor income connected with a U.S. trade or business.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Under certain attribution rules, if the Company
is a PFIC, U.S. Holders will generally be deemed to own their proportionate share of the Company&rsquo;s direct or indirect equity interest
in any company that is also a PFIC (a &ldquo;Subsidiary PFIC&rdquo;), and will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on their
proportionate share of (a) any &ldquo;excess distributions,&rdquo; as described below, on the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC and (b) a disposition
or deemed disposition of the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC by the Company or another Subsidiary PFIC, both as if such U.S. Holders directly
held the shares of such Subsidiary PFIC. In addition, U.S. Holders may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any indirect gain realized
on the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC on the sale or disposition of Common Shares. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should be aware that they could
be subject to tax under the PFIC rules even if no distributions are received on the Common Shares and no redemptions or other dispositions
of Common Shares are made.</P>

which a U.S. Holder owns Common Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder of the acquisition, ownership, and
disposition of Common Shares will depend on whether and when such U.S. Holder makes an election to treat the Company and each Subsidiary
PFIC, if any, as a &ldquo;qualified electing fund&rdquo; (&ldquo;QEF&rdquo;) under Section 1295 of the Code (a &ldquo;QEF Election&rdquo;)
or makes a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code (a &ldquo;Mark-to-Market Election&rdquo;). A U.S. Holder that does not
make either a QEF Election or a Mark-to-Market Election will be referred to in this summary as a &ldquo;Non-Electing U.S. Holder.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">A Non-Electing U.S. Holder will be subject
to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code (described below) with respect to (a) any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition
of Common Shares and (b) any &ldquo;excess distribution&rdquo; received on the Common Shares. A distribution generally will be an &ldquo;excess
distribution&rdquo; to the extent that such distribution (together with all other distributions received in the current tax year) exceeds
125% of the average distributions received during the three preceding tax years (or during a U.S. Holder&rsquo;s holding period for the
Common Shares, if shorter).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">If the Company is a PFIC, under Section 1291
of the Code, any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares (including an indirect disposition of the stock
of any Subsidiary PFIC), and any &ldquo;excess distribution&rdquo; received on Common Shares or deemed received with respect to the stock
of a Subsidiary PFIC, must be ratably allocated to each day in a Non-Electing U.S. Holder&rsquo;s holding period for the respective Common
Shares. The amount of any such gain or excess distribution allocated to the tax year of disposition or distribution of the excess distribution,
or allocated to years before the entity became a PFIC, if any, would be taxed as ordinary income at the rates applicable for such year
(and not eligible for certain preferred rates). The amounts allocated to any other tax year would be subject to U.S. federal income tax
at the highest tax rate applicable to ordinary income in each such year. In addition, an interest charge would be imposed on the tax liability
for each such year, calculated as if such tax liability had been due in each such year. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder that is not a corporation
must treat any such interest paid as &ldquo;personal interest,&rdquo; which is not deductible.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">If the Company is a PFIC for any tax year during
which a Non-Electing U.S. Holder holds Common Shares, the Company will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such Non-Electing
U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the Company ceases to be a PFIC in one or more subsequent tax years. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder may
terminate</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">If the Company is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder that
makes a timely and effective QEF Election for the tax year in which the holding period of its Common Shares begins generally will not
be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above with respect to such Common Shares. A U.S. Holder that makes such
a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. Holder&rsquo;s pro rata share (based on its ownership of Common
Shares) of (a) the net capital gain of the Company, which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to such U.S. Holder, and (b) the ordinary
earnings of the Company, which will be taxed as ordinary income to such U.S. Holder. Generally, &ldquo;net capital gain&rdquo; is the
excess of (a) net long-term capital gain over (b) net short-term capital loss, and &ldquo;ordinary earnings&rdquo; are the excess of (a)
&ldquo;earnings and profits&rdquo; over (b) net capital gain. A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal
income tax on such amounts for each tax year in which the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed
to such U.S. Holder by the Company. However, for any tax year in which the Company is a PFIC and has no net income or gain, U.S. Holders
that have made a QEF Election would not have any income inclusions as a result of the QEF Election. If a U.S. Holder that made a QEF Election
has an income inclusion, such a U.S. Holder may, subject to certain limitations, elect to defer payment of current U.S. federal income
tax on such amounts, subject to an interest charge. If such U.S. Holder is not a corporation, any such interest paid will be treated as
&ldquo;personal interest,&rdquo; which is not deductible.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">A U.S. Holder that makes a timely and effective
QEF Election with respect to the Company generally (a) may receive a tax-free distribution from the Company to the extent that such distribution
represents &ldquo;earnings and profits&rdquo; of the Company that were previously included in income by the U.S. Holder because of such
QEF Election and (b) will adjust such U.S. Holder&rsquo;s tax basis in the Common Shares to reflect the amount included in income or allowed
as a tax-free distribution because of such QEF Election. A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election generally will recognize capital gain
or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">A U.S. Holder may make a timely QEF Election
by filing the appropriate QEF Election documents (currently IRS Form 8621) at the time such U.S. Holder files a U.S. federal income tax
return for such year. If a U.S. Holder does not make a timely QEF Election for the first year in the U.S. Holder&rsquo;s holding period
in which the Company is a PFIC, the U.S. Holder may still be able to make an effective QEF Election in a subsequent year if such U.S.
Holder meets certain requirements and makes a &ldquo;purging&rdquo; election to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules of
Section 1291 of the Code discussed above) as if such Common Shares were sold for their fair market value on the day the QEF Election is
effective. If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election but does not make a &ldquo;purging&rdquo; election to recognize gain as discussed in
the preceding sentence, then such U.S. Holder shall be subject to the QEF Election rules and shall continue to be subject to tax under
the rules of Section 1291 discussed above with respect to its Common Shares. If a U.S. Holder owns PFIC stock indirectly through another
PFIC, separate QEF Elections must be made for the PFIC in which the U.S. Holder is a direct shareholder and the Subsidiary PFIC for the
QEF rules to apply to both PFICs.</P>

be a PFIC, the QEF Election will remain in effect (although it will not be applicable) during those tax years in which the Company is
not a PFIC. Accordingly, if the Company becomes a PFIC in another subsequent tax year, the QEF Election will be effective, and the U.S.
Holder will be subject to the QEF rules described above during any subsequent tax year in which the Company qualifies as a PFIC.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Subject to the potential application of the
PFIC rules discussed above, a U.S. Holder that pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends
paid on the Common Shares generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for
such Canadian income tax. Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holder&rsquo;s U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar
basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holder&rsquo;s income that is subject to U.S. federal income tax. This election is made
on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax
credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holder&rsquo;s U.S. federal income
tax liability that such U.S. Holder&rsquo;s &ldquo;foreign source&rdquo; taxable income bears to such U.S. Holder&rsquo;s worldwide taxable
income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holder&rsquo;s various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules,
as either &ldquo;foreign source&rdquo; or &ldquo;U.S. source.&rdquo; Generally, dividends paid on the Common Shares should be treated
as foreign source for this purpose, and gains recognized on the sale of Common Shares by a U.S. Holder should be treated as U.S. source
for this purpose, except as otherwise provided in an applicable income tax treaty, and if an election is properly made under the Code.
However, the amount of a distribution with respect to the Common Shares that is treated as a &ldquo;dividend&rdquo; may be lower for U.S.
federal income tax purposes than it is for Canadian federal income tax purposes, resulting in a reduced foreign tax credit allowance to
a U.S. Holder. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income. The foreign tax credit
rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisors regarding the foreign tax credit rules.</P>

reporting obligations with respect to Common Shares if the aggregate value of these and certain other &ldquo;specified foreign financial
assets&rdquo; exceeds an applicable dollar threshold. If required, this disclosure is made by filing Form 8938 with the IRS. Significant
penalties can apply if a U.S. Holder is required to make this disclosure and fails to do so. In addition, a U.S. Holder should consider
the possible obligation to file online a FinCEN Form 114&mdash;Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts Report, as a result of holding Common
Shares in certain accounts. Holders are urged to consult their U.S. tax advisors with respect to these and other reporting requirements
that may apply to their acquisition of Common Shares.</P>

federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Residents</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">The following generally summarizes certain
Canadian federal income tax consequences generally applicable under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations enacted thereunder
(collectively, the &ldquo;Canadian Tax Act&rdquo;) and the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980) (the &ldquo;Convention&rdquo;) to
the holding and disposition of Common Shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Comment is restricted to holders of Common
Shares each of whom, at all material times for the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and the Convention, (i) is resident solely in the
United States for tax purposes, (ii) is a &ldquo;qualifying person&rdquo; under and entitled to the benefits of the Convention, (iii)
holds all Common Shares as capital property, (iv) holds no Common Shares that are &ldquo;taxable Canadian property&rdquo; (as defined
in the Canadian Tax Act) of the holder, (v) deals at arm&rsquo;s length with and is not affiliated with NioCorp, (vi) does not and is
not deemed to use or hold any Common Shares in a business carried on in Canada, (vii) is not an insurer that carries on business in Canada
and elsewhere, and (viii) is not an &ldquo;authorized foreign bank&rdquo; (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act) (each such holder, a &ldquo;U.S.
Resident Holder&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Certain U.S.-resident entities that are fiscally
transparent for United States federal income tax purposes (including limited liability companies) may not in all circumstances be entitled
to the benefits of the Convention. Members of or holders of an interest in such an entity that holds Common Shares should consult their
own tax advisers regarding the extent, if any, to which the benefits of the Convention will apply to the entity in respect of its Common
Shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in">Generally, a U.S. Resident Holder&rsquo;s Common
Shares will be considered to be capital property of such holder provided that the U.S. Resident Holder is not a trader or dealer in securities,
did not acquire, hold, or dispose of the Common Shares in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature
of trade (i.e., speculation), and does not hold the Common Shares in the course of carrying on a business.</P>

of the Canadian Tax Act and the Convention in effect on the date hereof, all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act and Convention
publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) on or before the date hereof, and the current published administrative
and assessing policies of the Canada Revenue Agency (the &ldquo;CRA&rdquo;). It is assumed that all such amendments will be enacted as
currently proposed, and that there will be no other material change to any applicable law or administrative or assessing practice, whether
by way of judicial, legislative or governmental decision or action, although no assurance can be given in these respects. This summary
