NIOBAY MAKES ITS FIRST PRODUCT DELIVERIES
TO POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS/PARTNERS
M
ontréal, Québec, June 3 , 202 5 - NioBay Metals Inc. (“NioBay” or the “Company”) (TSX -V: NBY)
(OTCQB: NBYCF) is proud to announce its first product deliveries from the SGS pilot plant in Qu ébec
City. This work was made possible by a grant from the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts
(MRNF) under the Mining Exploration Support Program for Critical and Strategic Minerals for its Crevier
niobium and tantalum project (the “Crevier Project”) . The Crevier P roject is located approximately
50 km north of the town of Girardville and approximately 150 km from the Niobec mine. It is located in
the Nitassinan (or ancestral territory) of the Pekuakamiulnuatsh, whose main population center is
Mashteuiatsh.
Grant
The grant titled: “Demonstration of the niobium-t antalum concentration process on a pilot
scale and production of niobium and tantalum oxides from the Crevier Project deposit located in
the Lac St-J ean region” allowed us to test the robustness of our process dia gram. A first
delivery to a pot ential customer/partner will allow us to verify, with this consumer, that
our product can meet the specifications required by them. Other shipments will follow during
the month to other potential customers/partners who have already indicated their desire to
receive the product.
The Company will also distribute the concentrate to research partners involved in this project.
These include Université Laval, CENET, and URSTM. These partners will conduct trials to test
“unconventional” avenues for producing ANO (Niobium Ammonium Oxalate).
For the time being, the Crevier Pr oject will focus e xclusively on the production of niobium oxide
for battery manufacturers and tantalum oxide for high-t ech applications.
Message from NioBay’s President and Chief Executive Officer on Crevier
“We have just brought the Crevier Project to a new level in its history. These first deliveries to
Europe are just the beginning. Consumer trials will allow us to continue the dialogue and work
with these potential customers to deliver a product tha t meets their requirements. We hope our
shareholders will be proud of this progress a nd we thank them in advance for their support”,
concluded Mr. Jean-S ébastien David.

About Niobium
Niobium is a naturally occurring element. It is a metal that is ductile, malleable and highly resistant to
corrosion. Because it enhances properties and functionalities, niobium is used in a wide range of
materials and applications in the Mobility, Structural and Energy sectors. Niobium transforms materials.
When added to materials like steel, glass and aluminum castings, niobium makes them more efficient
and lowers environmental impacts, while also increased value.
