Critical mineral discoveries through sustainable exploration

About Libra Energy Materials

Libra is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the discovery and development of the critical minerals necessary for the green energy transition. Libra’s Flanders North, Flanders South, and SBC projects in Ontario are being explored under a $33M earn-in deal with KoBold Metals Company.

In addition, Libra has 100% ownership over another four lithium projects in Ontario and Quebec, Canada, as well as another twenty-one lithium projects, eight graphite projects, and one cobalt project in Brazil – an emerging critical minerals hub. The Libra team comprises a mix of seasoned executives, engineers, and geoscientists, with extensive experience in mining and mineral exploration, capital markets, asset management, energy, and First Nations engagement. 

Some of Our Projects

Kobra Projects

Several confirmed lithium-bearing pegmatites in Ontario that remain untested by the drill bit. Includes Flanders North & South and the award-winning SBC projects. Under $33 million earn-in by KoBold Metals Company.

Toivo

Adjacent to SBC in Ontario, straddling the same Uchi-English River sub-province boundary. 100%-owned by Libra.

Borborema Lithium

Early-mover advantage in an emerging spodumene district in Brazil, with 10 Mineral Rights. 100%-owned by Libra. 

Quebec Lithium

A robust pipeline of 100%-owned projects in the heart of Quebec’s James Bay District, including Nemiscau and Wegucci. Both projects contain large, mapped pegmatites, hosted along trend of world-class lithium deposits.

Bahia Graphite

Located in south Bahia state, a proven graphite-producing region, near major infrastructure including roads and port facility access. Covers four 100%-owned graphite projects, including the Limeira, with large jumbo flakes and channel samples of 1.56% Cg over 18m and the Jordania project, with surface grab samples up to 0.9% Cg.

The KoBold Advantage

KoBold Metals Company is a US-based exploration and mining company that combines expertise in geosciences with artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science to improve and accelerate the exploration process in search for the critical minerals necessary for the global energy transition. In November 2024, KoBold and Libra entered into a C$33M earn-in agreement to jointly explore Libra’s Flanders North, Flanders South, and SBC projects in Ontario.

A Word From Our CEO

Koby Kushner, P.Eng., CFA

Former mining engineer and sell-side mining analyst

Genuine grassroots lithium exploration is brand new. Historically, existing lithium mines were enough to cover industrial demand. Today, the battery sector dominates lithium demand, and demand is growing faster than supply on the back of the global electrification and decarbonization efforts. Only recently have we needed to look for new sources of lithium.

Hard-rock lithium occurs in a type of rock called pegmatite. Most pegmatites being drilled off today were historically documented or found by accident while searching for something else. When generating our projects, we ignore “nearology” – proximity to known lithium occurrences – and focus on where lithium-bearing pegmatites should occur, stake it, and explore it. Imagine the opportunity that awaits if we purposely looked for new lithium deposits rather than staking around the accidents.
