Liberty Star Board Chair Pete O'Heeron & Director Gerardo King Interviewed by Steve Darling of Proactive Investors Limited

TUCSON, AZ, April 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Star Minerals ( 'Liberty Star' or the 'Company' ) ( OTCQB: LBSR ) is executing on a vision that aligns with the long-term strategic needs of the United States. In a recent conversation with award-winning broadcaster Steve Darling of Proactive Investors, Board Chair Pete O'Heeron and Director Gerardo King shared why critical mineral development is no longer optional—it's essential.
Pete O'Heeron recently returned from Washington, D.C., where he held high-level discussions with Congressional offices, including the teams of Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, as well as Representatives Brian Babin and Paul Gosar. The message was simple but urgent: the U.S. must take bold action to secure its own future.
'We are at an inflection point,' said O'Heeron. 'From semiconductors to satellites, from electric vehicles to national defense, critical minerals are the backbone of modern civilization. We cannot outsource our future. Liberty Star is building for a future where the United States leads—not follows—in the global supply chain for strategic resources.'
Director Gerardo King noted, 'Rising copper and gold prices are not a blip—they're a beacon. The opportunity is now. Government backing, combined with private investment, will create a resilient domestic supply chain and unlock long-term shareholder value.'
The interview underscores three fundamental truths:

The Company's premiere property is the Hay Mountain property (exploration stage) for porphyry copper, gold, moly and other commercially important minerals. Specific targets have been selected to explore for near-surface and deep-seated ore bodies, of which there are numerous analogs nearby. Contiguous with the primary Hay Mountain porphyry exploration target, and part of the overall Hay Mountain property, is an increasingly attractive area of exploration stage gold mineralization denominated Red Rock Canyon. Red Rock Canyon exhibits what we believe are extensive, promising hydrothermal associated gold-bearing structures that are documented in historical public and Company records.

Shuttered Albany restaurant popular with NY elite, politicians to reopen as members-only social club

An Albany restaurant that used to feature a clientele list teeming with some of the most powerful politicians in New York is set to reopen as a private members' dining club in late 2025. The La Serre restaurant closed in 2020 after it was unable to bounce back from the COVID-19 lockdown, with much of its business at the time relying on large gatherings like banquets and receptions, founder Anne Trimble told the Times Union. The French-based restaurant originally opened in 1977 and quickly became a favorite among New York's political elite on both sides of the aisle during its run, including former Govs. Hugh Carey, Mario Cuomo, George Pataki and Andrew Cuomo.

'This is going to be the most important political and social venue north of Manhattan. We're bringing back the old-school power — but with a modern twist: young, trendsetting, high-end, and unapologetically political,' Shapiro said. Advertisement Their vision centers around elevating the old restaurant's history by making it a hotspot for 'high-level networking, private events, and political strategy' while filling the space of a much-needed 'contemporary social anchor,' according to a press release. They plan to make it highly selective, primarily limiting membership to public leaders, media influencers, creatives and civic entrepreneurs, according to the release. La Serre closed in 2020 after it was unable to recover from the COVID-19 lockdown. Albany Times Union via Getty Ima The restaurant will also include a secluded 'War Room' — which shares its name with another restaurant owned by Shapiro — that will be reserved for politicians' off-the-record meetings. Advertisement The new and improved La Serre will include a rooftop terrace and renovated interior, likely shifting away from the upscale, green leather-laden atmosphere of the old restaurant and gravitating towards something more 'clubby,' per the release. Trimble founded the restaurant alongside her late husband, Geoffrey, who passed away in 2005. She managed the restaurant with her son, John, up through its closure, the Times Union reported.

KKR Forms A$500 Million Strategic Partnership with CleanPeak Energy to Launch New Distributed Energy Platform

SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global investment firm KKR today announced the signing of definitive agreements under which funds managed by KKR will commit A$500 million to strategically partner with CleanPeak Energy ('CleanPeak') to rapidly grow its distributed energy platform. KKR's investment will support CleanPeak in growing and developing a pipeline of distributed solar, battery storage and micro‑grid solutions for Australia's commercial and industrial ('C&I') sector. Co-founded by Philip Graham and Jon Hare in 2017, CleanPeak is a leading provider of fully financed, integrated solar‑and‑storage systems for blue‑chip corporates across Australia. The company operates over 50 distributed generation sites across Australia including over 140MW of Solar Assets and 35MWH of Battery Energy Storage System ('BESS') projects, and is currently delivering over $200m of construction projects in the sector.

'By combining CleanPeak's proven operating platform with KKR's global network, operational expertise, and deep experience across our energy and infrastructure teams, we are well positioned to unlock significant opportunities for corporate customers looking to decarbonise and reduce their energy bills.'

KKR is making this investment from its Global Climate Transition strategy. This investment marks the strategy's first in Asia-Pacific and its sixth transaction globally, underscoring KKR's conviction in the energy‑transition opportunity set.
