Libra Lithium Corp. is a Canadian lithium explorer that sprint-staked a clutch of grassroots lithium-pegmatite prospects in north-western Ontario (Flanders South, Flanders North, Soules Bay-Caron and Toivo) and in Québec’s James Bay belt (Wegucci and Nemiscau), then flipped operational control of the three flagship Ontario blocks to KoBold Metals via a six-year, C$33 million earn-in that can leave Libra with just 25 % (or a 1 % NSR if it can’t fund its share post-earn-in). The company has collected grab-samples with up to 6.64 % Li₂O and multi-kilometre strike lengths. Management, led by ex-analyst and engineer Koby Kushner, plans to list through a reverse takeover of PowerStone on the CSE, with a “counter-cyclical” approach to lithium.
In this interview, Libra Energy Materials CEO Koby Kushner explains the company’s origin, his technical and capital-markets background, insider lock-ups, the decision to list during a lithium downturn, the track record of his exploration team, joint-venture terms with KoBold Metals, priorities across six Ontario-Québec pegmatite projects, financing and marketing plans, prospective M&A, and his view that lithium prices have bottomed, while outlining milestones, risks, and governance safeguards.
TL;DR
- 1. History
Libra was formed in early 2023 to pursue grassroots lithium exploration after the founders saw capital flowing into weaker projects.
– - 2. Insider Ownership
CEO Koby Kushner, a mining engineer and former lithium analyst, owns roughly 11-12% of the company and takes a five-figure salary.
– - 3. Share Structure
About 45 percent of shares are in an event-driven lock-up, and insiders intend to keep buying while avoiding cheap-stock giveaways.
– - 4. KoBold Partnership
A KoBold Metals earn-in can fund up to CA$33 million on three flagship assets, supplying revenue and technical horsepower without corporate-level dilution.
– - 5. Strategy
Near-term strategy is to bank drill-ready targets, pursue counter-cyclical M&A, and list in summer 2025, betting that lithium demand rebounds from a perceived market bottom.
