| a) | Issuance
On November 5, 2024, the Company closed an underwritten public offering (the “November 2024 Registered Offering”), pursuant to the underwriting agreement, dated November 3, 2024 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with Maxim Group LLC, as underwriter (“Maxim”), which consisted of 1,592,356 Common Shares, 1,672,090 Warrants (the “Series A Public Warrants”) to purchase up to an additional 1,672,090 Common Shares and 836,045 Warrants (the “Series B Public Warrants” and, together with the Series A Public Warrants, the “November Public Warrants”) to purchase up to an additional 836,045 Common Shares. Each Common Share was sold together with one Series A Public Warrant and one-half of one Series B Public Warrant at a combined public offering price of $1.57. The gross proceeds from the November 2024 Registered Offering were $2,501 before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The November Public Warrants were classified as equity instruments and accordingly, the net proceeds were allocated based on the relative fair values of the Common Shares and the November Public Warrants on the date of issuance, with $943 allocated to the fair value of the November Public Warrants and the balance of the proceeds of $1,558 allocated to Common Shares. The Company incurred total transaction costs related to the November 2024 Registered Offering $1,226, which were treated as share issuance costs at closing. The Series A Public Warrants have an exercise price of $1.75 per underlying Common Share, are exercisable immediately, and will expire on November 5, 2026. The Series B Public Warrants have an exercise price of $2.07 per underlying Common Share, are exercisable beginning six months and one day from the date of issuance and will expire on November 5, 2029. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted Maxim a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase (i) 238,853 additional Common Shares and (ii) 358,280 Option Warrants (as defined below) to purchase up to an aggregate of 358,280 Common Shares. “Option Warrant” means one Series A Public Warrant combined with one-half of one Series B Public Warrant. On November 4, 2024, Maxim partially exercised its over-allotment option to purchase 79,734 additional Series A Public Warrants and 39,867 additional Series B Public Warrants, which amounts are included in the amounts discussed above and were issued at closing of the November 2024 Registered Offering. On November 13, 2024, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement (the “November 2024 Private Offering”), pursuant to binding subscription agreements with certain accredited investors as part of a non-brokered private placement of 2,199,602 units of the Company (the “November 2024 Units”). Each November 2024 Unit consisted of one Common Share, one Warrant (a “Series A Private Warrant”) to purchase one Common Share, and one-half of one Warrant (each whole such Warrant, a “Series B Private Warrant” and, together with the Series A Private Warrants, the “November Private Warrants”), with each Series B Private Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional Common Share. Each November 2024 Unit was issued and sold at a price of $1.57. The gross proceeds of the November 2024 Private Offering were approximately $3,500 before deducting offering expenses. Certain directors and officers of the Company (the “Insider Investors”) purchased November 2024 Units at a price of $1.7675 per November 2024 Unit, which price includes $0.1975 per November 2024 Private Warrant and allowed such directors and officers to participate in the November 2024 Private Offering in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”). The Series A Private Warrants have an exercise price of $1.75 per underlying Common Share, are exercisable immediately, and will expire on November 13, 2026. The Series B Private Warrants have an exercise price of $2.07 per underlying Common Share, are exercisable beginning six months and one day from the date of issuance and will expire on November 13, 2029. The Company recorded a non-cash expense of $34 and $110 to other operating expenses and employee related costs, respectively, representing the excess of fair value of the November 2024 Units over the purchase price paid by Insider Investors. Based upon the Company’s analysis of the criteria contained in ASC 815, the Company determined that the November Private Warrants met the definition of a derivative liability, as any warrant exercise that could cause the holder to exceed 19.9% ownership of NioCorp Common Shares would require shareholder approval. As such, the November Private Warrants were recognized as warrant liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and were measured at their issuance date fair value of $1,928 and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a non-operating gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The remaining proceeds of the November 2024 Private Offering of $1,573 were allocated to Common Shares. The Company incurred total transaction costs related to the November 2024 Private Offering of $161, of which $60 was allocated to the November Private Warrants and was expensed at closing. The following tables disclose the primary inputs for the Black-Scholes model used in valuing the November Public Warrants and November Private Warrants, respectively.

Private Warrants On March 17, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company closed a series of transactions (the “GXII Transaction”) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2022, by and among the Company, GXII, and Big Red Merger Sub Ltd. In connection with the closing of the GXII Transaction (the “Closing”), the Company assumed GXII’s obligations under the agreement governing the GXII share purchase warrants (the “GXII Warrants”), as amended by an assignment, assumption and amendment agreement (the “NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agreement”), and issued an aggregate of 15,666,626 Warrants (the “NioCorp Assumed Warrants”). The Company issued (a) 9,999,959 public NioCorp Assumed Warrants (the “Public Warrants”) in respect of the GXII Warrants that were publicly traded prior to the Closing and (b) 5,666,667 NioCorp Assumed Warrants (the “Private Warrants”) to GX Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”). Each Private Warrant entitles the holder to the right to purchase 1.11829212 Common Shares at an exercise price of $11.50 per 1.11829212 Common Shares (subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of any Private Warrants, and fractional shares that would otherwise be due to the exercising holder will be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Private Warrant. The Private Warrants: (i) will be exercisable either for cash or on a cashless basis at the holder’s option and (ii) will not be redeemable by the Company, in either case as long as the Private Warrants are held by the Sponsor, its members or any of their permitted transferees (as prescribed in the NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agreement). In accordance with the NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agreement, any Private Warrants that are held by someone other than the Sponsor, its members or any of their permitted transferees are treated as Public Warrants. The Company classifies the Private Warrants as Level 2 instruments under the fair value hierarchy as inputs into our pricing model are based on observable data points. The following observable data points were used in calculating the fair value of the Private Warrants using a Black-Scholes pricing model:

Contingent Consent Warrants As consideration for entering into the previously publicly disclosed Waiver and Consent Agreement, dated September 25, 2022 (the “Lind Consent”), between the Company and Lind Global Asset Management III, LLC (“Lind III”), Lind III received, amongst other things, the right to receive additional Warrants (the “Contingent Consent Warrants”) if on September 17, 2024, the closing trading price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange or such other stock exchange on which such shares may then be listed, is less than C$10.00, subject to adjustments. The number of Contingent Consent Warrants to be issued, if any, is based on the Canadian dollar equivalent (based on the then current Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate as reported by Bloomberg, L.P.) of $5,000 divided by the five-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares on the date of issuance. Further, the number of Contingent Consent Warrants issued will be proportionately adjusted based on the percentage of Warrants currently held by Lind III that are exercised, if any, prior to the issuance of any Contingent Consent Warrants. On September 17, 2024, the Company’s Common Share price was below the threshold price set forth in the Lind Consent, and accordingly, the Company issued 2,816,742 Contingent Consent Warrants to Lind III. Each Contingent Consent Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of $2.308 and may be exercised at any time prior to their expiration on September 17, 2028. The number of Contingent Consent Warrants issued was based on $5,000 divided by the five-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares on September 16, 2024. The Company valued the Contingent Consent Warrants at $2,262 based on a Black-Scholes valuation with the following inputs: The Company valued the Contingent Consent Warrants at $2,262 based on a Black-Scholes valuation with the following inputs:
