DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	3 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS NioCorp Developments Ltd. (“NioCorp” or the “Company”) was incorporated on February 27, 1987 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and currently operates in one reportable operating segment consisting of exploration and development of mineral deposits in North America, specifically, the Elk Creek Niobium/Scandium/Titanium property (the “Elk Creek Project”) located in southeastern Nebraska. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities at their carrying values in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. These financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company currently earns no operating revenues and will require additional capital in order to advance the Elk Creek Project. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain and is dependent upon the generation of profits from mineral properties, obtaining additional financing, and maintaining continued support from its shareholders and creditors.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

BASIS OF PREPARATION	3 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2018
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PREPARATION	2. BASIS OF PREPARATION a) Basis of Preparation and Consolidation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. The accounting policies followed in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are those used by the Company as set out in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary (including reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at September 30, 2018, and for all periods presented, have been included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to appropriate SEC rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year ending June 30, 2019, or future operating periods. b) Recent Accounting Standards Issued and Not Effective From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards did not or will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In February 2016, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 was issued related to leases, which was further amended in September 2017 by ASU 2017-13, in January 2018 by ASU 2018-01 and in July 2018 by ASU 2018-10 and 2018-11. The new guidance modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from most leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance effective with our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to materially increase the Company’s assets and liabilities. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The update clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will apply the provisions of the update to potential future acquisitions occurring after the effective date. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation — Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update aims to simplify the accounting for share-based payments awarded to non-employees for goods or services acquired. The update specifies that the measurement date is the grant date and that awards are required to be measured at fair value. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 - Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This update modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 and eliminates ‘at a minimum’ from the phrase ‘an entity shall disclose at a minimum’ to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities when considering fair value disclosures and to clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. c) Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuations, convertible debt valuations, and share-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

GOING CONCERN ISSUES

GOING CONCERN ISSUES	3 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
GOING CONCERN ISSUES	3. GOING CONCERN ISSUES The Company incurred a loss of $1,731 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 (2017 - $1,813) and had a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit of $491 and $85,080, respectively, as of September 30, 2018. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue operations and fund its expenditures is dependent on management’s ability to secure additional financing. Management is actively pursuing such additional sources of financing, and while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Pursuant to the issuance of a convertible security (the “Subsequent Convertible Security” and, together with the previous Lind convertible security (the “Original Lind Security), the “Convertible Securities”), a total of $1,000 was funded on July 9, 2018. The Subsequent Lind Agreement replaces the Convertible Security Funding Agreement, dated December 14, 2015, between the Company and Lind (the “Original Lind Agreement”) in respect of the remaining $1,000 funding amount available under the Original Lind Agreement and accordingly, no further funding will be provided by Lind to the Company under the Original Lind Agreement. The terms of the Subsequent Convertible Security are substantially similar to the terms governing like securities under the Original Lind Agreement. As a result, upon payment of the $1,000 in funding by Lind to the Company, the Subsequent Convertible Security was issued in the amount of $1,200 ($1,000 in funding plus implied interest), and the Company issued warrants (“Warrants”) to Lind, as follows: Black Scholes Pricing Model Inputs Funding Date Face 1 Warrants 2 Issue 3 Warrant Expiry Date Risk-free Yield Volatility Expected July 9, 2018 $ 1,200 1,035,319 C$0.77 July 9, 2021 2.0% 0 % 58.3 % 3 years 1 Includes implied interest. 2 The value of Warrants issued totaled $156, which was expensed to Change in Financial Instrument Fair Value. 3 The price to convert one Warrant into one common share of the Company (“Common Share”). The Convertible Securities are convertible into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to 85% of the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares (in Canadian dollars) on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date on which Lind provides the Company with notice of its intention to convert an amount of the applicable Convertible Security from time to time. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, $1,000 principal amount of the Original Convertible Security was converted into 2,547,427 Common Shares. The Convertible Securities contains financial and non-financial covenants customary for a facility of its size and nature, and includes a financial covenant defining an event of default as all present and future liabilities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, exclusive of related party loans, for an amount or amounts exceeding $2,000 and which have not been satisfied on time or within 90 days of invoice, or have become prematurely payable as a result of its default or breach. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2018. Convertible Notes Changes in the Company’s outstanding convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) balance are comprised of the following: Convertible Notes Balance, June 30, 2018 $ 756 Accreted interest, net of interest paid 44 Balance, September 30, 2018 $ 800 The changes in the derivative liability related to the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes are as follows: Derivative Liability Balance, June 30, 2018 $ 8 Change in fair value of derivative liability (8 ) Balance, September 30, 2018 $ — Effective October 10, 2018, the due date for the Convertible Notes was extended for one year to October 14, 2019.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	9. Fair Value Measurements The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on US GAAP guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition. Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized in income. Financial instruments, including receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and related party loans are carried at amortized cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The following table presents information about the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at June 30, 2018 and 2017 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates, and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the financial instrument, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the instrument: As of June 30, 2018 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 73 $ 73 $ — $ — Available for sale securities 12 12 — — Total $ 85 $ 85 $ — $ — Liabilities: Convertible debt $ 4,106 $ — $ — $ 4,106 Derivative liability, convertible debt 8 — — 8 Total $ 4,114 $ — $ — $ 4,114 As of June 30, 2017 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 238 $ 238 $ — $ — Restricted cash $ 265 265 — — Available for sale securities 23 23 — — Total $ 526 $ 526 $ — $ — Liabilities: Convertible debt $ 3,465 $ — $ — $ 3,465 Derivative liability, convertible debt 82 — — 82 Total $ 3,547 $ — $ — $ 3,547 The Company measures the fair market value of the Level 3 components using the Black-Scholes model and discounted cash flows, as appropriate. These models were initially prepared by a third party and take into account management’s best estimate of the conversion price of the stock, an estimate of the expected time to conversion, an estimate of the stock’s volatility, and the risk-free rate of return expected for an instrument with a term equal to the duration of the convertible debt. The significant unobservable valuation inputs for the Convertible Debt includes an expected return of 51.06%. A 15% decrease (increase) in the expected return would result in an increase (decrease) to fair value of $94, or approximately 2%. The derivative liability was valued using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following inputs: 2018 2017 Risk-free interest rate 1.25 % 1.25 % Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % Expected stock price volatility 73.97 % 51.14 % Expected option life in years 0.25 1.25 The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of the Company’s convertible debt components classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy: As of June 30, 2018 2017 Beginning balance $ 3,547 $ 6,321 Convertible securities closings 4,500 1,000 Conversions to equity (5,130 ) (4,103 ) Realized and unrealized losses 1,197 329 Ending balance $ 4,114 $ 3,547

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENT	10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS See Note 5 for disclosure regarding the extension of the due date for the Convertible Notes. On October 8, 2018, the Company and IBC Advanced Alloys (“IBC”) announced the successful production of aluminum-scandium master alloy. The master alloy was produced at the Ames Laboratory, a U.S. government-owned, contractor-operated national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy, located in Ames Iowa. NioCorp and IBC intend to utilize the master alloy from this program to further the companies’ ongoing efforts to develop specialty scandium-containing alloys and/or prototype products for potential commercial use. The two companies are operating under a joint development agreement to investigate and develop applications for scandium-containing materials for a range of downstream markets. On October 10, 2018, the Company announced that it signed a commercial sales agreement with Traxys North America LLC (“Traxys”) for up to 120 tonnes of scandium trioxide over the first 10 years of operation of the Elk Creek Project. The contract presupposes the Company securing project financing, obtaining all necessary approvals, and constructing a mine and processing facility at Elk Creek. Under the sales agreement, Traxys is obligated to purchase 12 tonnes per year of scandium trioxide for the first 10 years of the Elk Creek Project’s production, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. That annual amount represents approximately 10 percent of NioCorp’s planned annual production of Scandium. Traxys can purchase more than 12 tonnes per year from NioCorp, and the agreement can be extended beyond the 10-year term, by mutual agreement. Pursuant to the commercial sales agreement, Traxys will focus its scandium sales and marketing efforts on customers in the aerospace and sporting goods sectors, and it retains the exclusive right to sell NioCorp scandium to those sectors. In return, pursuant to the commercial sales agreement, Traxys has agreed to purchase its entire needs of scandium trioxide, scandium alloys, scandium master alloy and other scandium-based products exclusively from NioCorp, including for scandium sales to other sectors, subject to availability of adequate supplies by NioCorp and other conditions. Pursuant to the commercial sales agreement, NioCorp will work with Traxys to promote and market scandium to the aerospace, sporting goods and other industry sectors. NioCorp retains the right to make direct sales of scandium to markets outside of aerospace and sporting goods, as well as direct sales to the U.S. Government.

BASIS OF PREPARATION (Policies)

BASIS OF PREPARATION (Policies)	3 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Preparation and Consolidation	a) Basis of Preparation and Consolidation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. The accounting policies followed in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are those used by the Company as set out in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary (including reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at September 30, 2018, and for all periods presented, have been included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to appropriate SEC rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year ending June 30, 2019, or future operating periods.
Recent Accounting Standards	b) Recent Accounting Standards Issued and Not Effective From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards did not or will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In February 2016, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 was issued related to leases, which was further amended in September 2017 by ASU 2017-13, in January 2018 by ASU 2018-01 and in July 2018 by ASU 2018-10 and 2018-11. The new guidance modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from most leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance effective with our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to materially increase the Company’s assets and liabilities. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The update clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will apply the provisions of the update to potential future acquisitions occurring after the effective date. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation — Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update aims to simplify the accounting for share-based payments awarded to non-employees for goods or services acquired. The update specifies that the measurement date is the grant date and that awards are required to be measured at fair value. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 - Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This update modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 and eliminates ‘at a minimum’ from the phrase ‘an entity shall disclose at a minimum’ to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities when considering fair value disclosures and to clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates	c) Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuations, convertible debt valuations, and share-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
