On Monday, the Tucson, Arizona-based company Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (OTCQB:LBSR) disclosed that Patricia Madaris, the Chief Financial Officer and Interim CEO, provided an advance of $51,583.88 on Thursday to cover immediate operational costs.
This followed her earlier contribution of $73,109.30 on December 30, 2024, bringing her total fourth-quarter advances to $124,693.18.
In addition to Madaris's financial support, Pete O’Heeron, the Chairman of the Board, Secretary, and Treasurer, contributed $20,000 on December 19, 2024. Jay Crawford, Field Operations Manager & Geotech, also provided a $9,000 advance. These contributions are intended to fund the company's ongoing activities without any stated interest and are payable upon demand.
The company's reliance on internal funding from its executives underscores a proactive approach to maintaining its operational and exploration activities. The advancement of funds is a common practice within organizations to manage short-term financing needs, especially for companies like Liberty Star that are involved in capital-intensive industries such as metal mining.
The 8-K filing serves as a formal record of the financial transaction and provides transparency to investors and stakeholders regarding the company's financial activities. Liberty Star's strategic decision to use executive advances rather than external financing options might reflect a commitment to managing costs and maintaining control over its financial strategy.
The information reported is based on Liberty Star's recent SEC filing, which provides a detailed account of the company's financial dealings and obligations.
