Niocan also announces a change to its executive team in support of the strategic plan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Montreal, Qu\u00e9bec, January 17, 2022) <\/strong>\u2013 Niocan Inc. (TSX-V: NIO) (OTC:NIOCF) (\u201cNiocan<\/strong>\u201d or the \u201cCompany<\/strong>\u201d) is pleased to announce its intention to change its name for Nio Strategic Metals. The change would have no impact on the trading symbol but confirms the Company\u2019s intention to expend its activities to source strategic metals and minerals essential to advancing modern life and national security in beneficially environmental, social and ethical manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe new name will emphasise the Company\u2019s commitment to its corporate objective of expanding its activities and targeting projects with a focus on strategic minerals that can be developed with a reduced environmental footprint and upholding the highest international standards for responsible mining\u201d said Hubert Marleau, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Niocan. \u201cBy taking a broader and more complete view of the Company\u2019s purpose, we can focus on creating long-term value and serve better our investors, employees, communities, suppliers and customers\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Niocan announces, effective January 1, 2022, the appointment of Hubert Vall\u00e9e as Senior Vice President Operations to its executive team. Mr. Vall\u00e9e will lead the effort to maximise value of our assets. He joined Consolidated Thompson in 2006 and was one of the key officers who made this project happen. After the sale of Consolidated Thompson Cliffs, he worked as Vice President, Project Development for Phase II of Bloom Lake operation. He was also involved in negotiating amicable relationships with the Innu and the Cree communities in Sept-Iles and the James Bay area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe strategic plan will allow a better development of the existing assets to support renewed Company\u2019s objectives\u201d said Hubert Vall\u00e9e. \u201cI look forward to lead Niocan\u2019s growth plan\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
