Executive Summary
- Libra Energy Materials Inc. has acquired a 100% undivided interest in the Stimson project, a drill-ready lithium-cesium asset located in the Case Lake district of Ontario, from Last Resort Resources Ltd. and Bounty Gold Corp.
- The acquisition is part of CEO Koby Kushner’s strategy to consolidate the lithium space through bottom-market M&A, leveraging the project's strategic location along the Quetico-Abitibi subprovince boundary, which hosts major global cesium resources.
- The transaction involves a base purchase price of $50,000 payable in shares, with significant potential upside through bonus shares tied to specific drilling results and a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty.
Key Details
- Asset Acquired: 100% undivided interest in the Stimson project, located in the Case Lake lithium-cesium district, Ontario.
- Counterparties: Last Resort Resources Ltd. and Bounty Gold Corp.
- Base Consideration: $50,000 total purchase price, payable via issuance of Libra common shares based on the five-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) prior to issuance.
- Vendor Option: Vendors have the option to defer receipt of the share payment for up to one year from the agreement date.
- Bonus Share Structure (Drilling Incentives):
- $100,000 in shares if drilling yields at least 20 meters grading >1% Li2O.

- Strategic Rationale: CEO Koby Kushner cites low acquisition costs, excellent infrastructure access (roads/rail), and favorable lithium price trends as key drivers for the acquisition.
- Qualified Person: Benjamin Kuzmich, PGeo, Vice-President, Exploration, reviewed and approved the technical data.
