Canada's Niocan Inc , a rare earth mineral and metallurgical firm, said late on Monday it has been notified by the Toronto Stock Exchange that it will defer the acceptance of the company's shareholder rights plan. However, Niocan said the rights plan remains in effect even though the Exchange has deferred its review. Niocan had adopted its shareholder rights plan on Jan 21, in response to competing bids from Augyva Mining Resources Inc and Nio-Metals Holdings LLC, the largest shareholder in Niocan.
