Strategic Appeal of Niobium
----- End of picture text -----
==> picture [67 x 68] intentionally omitted <==
Commercial Niobium projects are very rare, strategic & valuable
==> picture [63 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
Niobium makes stronger, lighter & corrosion resistant steel products
Critical in high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels for construction and How substitutable is Niobium in each industry? automotive industries, in superalloys for aerospace and military equipment, and in various ‘green’ technologies such as wind turbines and rechargeable batteries
KEY ADVANTAGES
==> picture [53 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
China is the largest global consumer with no commercially viable niobium projects
==> picture [48 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
Exposure to fast growing electric vehicle market
Lack of any direct substitutes Low intensity of use
Titanium niobium anodes expected to become standard for the next generation Lithium-Ion batteries – refer Toshiba announcement, October 2017 No cost effective substitutes for Niobium which match its strength characteristics Emerging countries, especially China & India, underpin long term demand
Niobium is a ‘strategic metal’ for USA, Russia and Britain
Only 3 major niobium Covers >95% of global supply producers worldwide

Use of niobium for structural steel is forecast to continue to grow due to increasing rate of urbanisation and the expected growth in the number of cities, with HSLA steels integral to high-rise construction. People will need somewhere to live.

Cities are not only increasing in number they are getting larger and taller.
2017 was a record year for skyscraper construction with 144 built. Over half were built in China.
The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world today boasting more than 160 stories and standing over 828 metres.
It is estimated that there will be 30 cities the size of New York city built between 2020 and 2050.
And by 2100, Lagos (Nigeria) is predicted to be the world’s largest city with a population of between 85 and 100 million people.

The use of niobium to create stronger and lighter vehicles has and continues to change the face of the automobile industry.
$9 of Niobium added to a mid-sized automobile reduces its weight by 100kg, increasing fuel efficiency by 5%.

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, pictured right, is a commonly accepted measurement of market concentration, and in this case, it shows which mineral sectors have healthy competition between countries, as well as the sectors that are more monopolistic.
==> picture [260 x 202] intentionally omitted <==
Anything below a 1500 score on the Index is considered a competitive marketplace. The closer the score is to 10,000, the closer the market is to a monopoly.
Niobium scores over 8000 on the scale, demonstrating that the industry is highly concentrated with only three existing mines, two of Niobium market controlled by 3 producers, which are located in Brazil and responsible for ~ 85% of global production. collectively producing 99% of current supply

Growth in demand for steel and for higher quality steel products forecast to drive consumption of niobium.
HSLA steels account for ~90% of global Niobium consumption
Niobium Demand Drivers – two factors:
i) increase in overall steel production; and
ii) increase in the amount of niobium used in steel (usage intensity rate).

Demand Driver – Structural Steel

Short Term
In October 2020, Worldsteel (the World Steel Association) released its Short Range Outlook for steel demand for 2020 and 2021.
Worldsteel is predicting global steel demand will contract by - 2.4% in 2020 dropping to 1,725.1 Mt due to the COVID-19 pandemic but recover in 2021 to 1,295.1 Mt, an increase of 4.1%.
The growth forecast is mainly due to China, and expected to be aided by government infrastructure stimulus and a strong China real estate / construction market.
Medium Term
Research and Market has released its latest report on 26 October 2020 concluding that;
“The market for niobium is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 6% between 2020 and 2025. Major factors driving the Niobium market controlled by 3 producers, market are the increased consumption of niobium in structural Source: www.steel-360.com collectively producing 99% of current supply steel and extensive utilization of niobium-based alloys in manufacturing aircraft engines. “

Demand Driver – Increased Intensity of Use
----- End of picture text -----
Overall intensity of use of ferro-niobium (FeNb) in steel is at its greatest in highly developed countries (eg Germany, USA) and averages in excess of 100g/t.
Overall intensity of use of ferro-niobium (FeNb) in steel in India and China is extremely low; averaging less than 20g/t.
Intensity of usage expected to increase in China as it moves to higher quality steel products as has already happened in other parts of Asia (South Korea, Japan).
The rate of increase of intensity of usage in China is forecast to be the main driver for niobium consumption in the medium term.

Niobium is mostly sold as FeNb for HSLA steel use
-
FeNb currently sells at $45/kg of contained Nb
-
Nb O 2 5 is a value add product used in manufacture of
