KABANGA TIN MINES
ZAMBIA
Exploration, Mining and Processing of Tin Ore

Executive Summary

Introduction

Kabanga Tin Mines is an exploration, mining and processing project in the tin belt of Zambia. Libra Pty Ltd of Brisbane, Australia is the “Mine Developer” and hold 85% of its Zambian units that own the project 100%.

Exploration on the three tin leases indicates that the Libra tin deposits looks very promising including eluvial ore and hard rock tin. Initial tests show high levels of tin, tantalite and niobium with some reefs of gold and PGM (Platinum Group Metals).

We have recently signed an agreement with a mining contractor for mining and processing of our eluvial resource in Siankopo with production to start on August/September 2008

We plan to define the eluvial ore resource in our other 2 tenements in 2008 and bring them into production by the end of 2008 (Kandiole) and early 2009 (Ibula)

With the rising price of tin and increasing demand, the company is in an excellent position to be a major contributor to the resources industry and supply the world with tin. We are still open for the first few who can join us developing one of the only major tin discoveries in the world.

The company shall source the latest technology in ore processing which will give the best recovery of Tin and secondary metals such as Tantalite, Niobium, Gold and Platinum. At first it can be exported as mixed concentrate, then, later as Tin ingots of 99.85% and 99.9% purity and separate metals concentrate such as Tantalite, Niobium, Gold and Platinum.


The Company

Kabanga Tin Mines consist of several leases owned 100% by the Libra Group of Australia and their daughter companies, “Apila Ltd”, “Libra Minerals Ltd” and “Woodsman Investment Ltd” of Zambia.

Libra Pty Ltd is a private equity investment corporation established in Australia for 18 years and acts as the project developer. The company plans to go public in 2008 and then list on the Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) in May 2009.
