RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:to much manure being postedAt lesat 5 years for 1st operational SMRs. In 10 years, should be significant Megawattage generated. I'd trust Boyd Davis' take more than Mark M's. If RSX flops, Ucore can pivot to producing HALE Uranium fuel which SMRs use. That would bring Ucore back to its roots as a Uranium company - that's what the U in ucore stands for.
Seriously though, i think Ucore should approach Mark Smith (maybe it already has?) and try to get him (Nicorp) to invest in SMC1 (maybe even put in Nebraska instead of Louisiana), which Niocorp can use to separate the rare earths, including Scandium, plus Niobium and Titanium from its Ell Creek Nebraska project. Smith has all that de-SPACing money burning a hole in his pocket - might as well take a flyer with it.
I don't know whether the Elk Creek site is any good, but with Smith in charge, I wouldn't get anywhere near it.
