LIBR · Price

Executive Summary

  • Libra Energy Materials Inc. reported results from its 2025 maiden surface exploration program on the 100% owned Nemiscau and Wegucci Projects in Québec’s James Bay region.
  • The six‑day field work collected 69 rock samples, identified multiple pegmatite swarms with bodies up to ~30 m wide, and returned high‑grade geochemical anomalies (e.g., 86 ppm Nb, 16 ppm Ta, 47 ppm Ga).
  • The program covered less than 10 % of the total combined project area, indicating substantial remaining ground for future exploration.

Key Details

  • Program Scope: Six‑day surface program; 69 rock samples collected across key target zones on Nemiscau (2,454 ha) and Wegucci (2,070 ha).
  • Pegmatite Swarms: Multiple muscovite‑ and garnet‑bearing pegmatite swarms identified on both projects; individual bodies up to ~30 m in estimated width.
  • Notable Target – Wegucci: Discovery of a more fractionated pegmatite considered a priority for follow‑up work.
  • Geochemical Highlights (Nemiscau):
  • Niobium (Nb) up to 86 ppm
  • Tantalum (Ta) up to 16 ppm
  • Gallium (Ga) peak of 47 ppm in a pegmatite.
  • Coverage: Surface program sampled <10 % of the combined project footprint, leaving >90 % of area unexplored.
  • Geographic Context – Wegucci: Located within the Lac des Montagnes volcanic‑sedimentary belt, adjacent to Rio Tinto’s Whabouchi lithium deposit and other known LCT pegmatite occurrences.
  • Geographic Context – Nemiscau: Situated in the Eastmain Subprovince, ~18 km south of Cygnus Metals’ Pontax lithium deposit; historically mapped as rose‑coloured pegmatitic granite.
  • Qualified Person: Benjamin Kuzmich, P.Geo., VP Exploration (NI 43‑101 qualified).
