Corporate Update: Niobay Metals Inc.
Niobay Metals (NBY.V) has concluded a 24‑hour trading period on Thursday, 22 October 2026, with its share price unchanged at CAD 0.07. The stock opened and closed at the same level, reflecting a flat 0 % change during the period that ended at 01:04 AM Central European Time.
At the close, the company’s market capitalisation stood at CAD 13.2 million, while the total outstanding shares amount to 188 million. Only CAD 30.1 thousand of Niobay shares changed hands in the past day, indicating modest liquidity relative to the company’s overall size.
Price Dynamics and Historical Context
The current price is slightly below the simple moving average (SMA) calculated over the last 200 trading days, which sits at CAD 0.10. Over the past year, Niobay Metals experienced its most expensive trading session on 30 October 2025, when the share peaked at CAD 0.22. The 52‑week low was recorded only ten days earlier, on 20 October 2026, when the stock slid to CAD 0.06.
Since the end of the previous month, Niobay Metals has traded 12.5 % lower. This decline reflects the broader trend in the niobium sector, where supply constraints and fluctuating demand have created a challenging environment for specialty metals producers.
Comparative Performance of Peer Stocks
In the same 24‑hour window, several peer companies in the mining and critical‑metals space reported varied results:
| Company | 24‑hour change | Current price | Market cap (CAD million) |

| Blende Silver (BAG.V) | 0 % | 0.16 | 15.8 |
Niobay Metals’ flat performance aligns with the two other “critical‑metals” peers—Three Crowns Critical Metals and Blende Silver—while contrasting with the modest gains at Desert Mountain Energy and the losses at Maxus Mining and Gold Springs Resource.
Operational Footprint
