NioCorp (NASDAQ:NB) and Lockheed Martin Skunk Works will develop prototype aluminum-scandium alloy components for fighter aircraft under a Pentagon-funded program announced on October 23, 2025.

Funding of $10 million is provided via Title III of the Defense Production Act to establish a domestic scandium mine-to-master-alloy supply chain tied to NioCorp's Elk Creek project in Nebraska. NioCorp expects to produce approximately 100 tonnes per year of scandium oxide when operational. No further technical details were released.

The casting advances joint development toward domestic scandium applications across aerospace, automotive, electronics, and defense. NioCorp says, subject to project financing, its Elk Creek project aims to produce about 100 tonnes/year of scandium oxide, compared with estimated global consumption of 30–40 tonnes/year.
