Engineer-Attorney Brett Gross Named to Liberty Star Board of Directors

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:11 PM on Monday, October 20th, 2014

TUCSON, Ariz.–Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to announce mining engineer, entrepreneur, consultant and attorney Mr. Brett Gross of Denver, Colo. has joined the Liberty Star Board of Directors. Mr. Gross is a longtime LBSR shareholder dating from the first year of its founding and helped fund the Hay Mountain ZTEM survey last year.

About Mr. Gross:

Mr. Gross is a mining engineer (BS, Ohio State University, 1982; MS, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1988; PE, Colorado and Alabama) and attorney (JD, University of Denver, 2001) with over 30 years of experience, both domestic and international. His work experience includes surface and underground mining operations, engineering, and delivery of construction mega-projects across multiple industrial and commercial markets, and the practice of law related to each of these sectors. Brett brings a combination of professional skills that benefits every aspect of Liberty Star’s business. Brett’s engineering career began at Virginia Tech, with research focused on rock mechanics and the stability of underground openings, particularly the phenomenon of “coal bumps” and “rock bursts,” and studying methods to monitor stress changes in the longwall barrier pillar during the onset of the active longwall face. The ensuing years of his career have been intimately involved with a broad spectrum of engineering, operations, management and project delivery. Since 2002, Brett has practiced law both in private practice and as in-house counsel, negotiating and closing complex deals with what today is among the largest and most successful engineering and construction firms in the United States.

Jim Briscoe, Liberty Star CEO and Chief Geologist, comments, “Brett has a mining background, innovative ideas and solid connections with investors who may be interested in funding Phase 1 drilling. He has held LBSR stock for many years, and shares the goal of increasing our stock’s value through concrete activities toward the development of Hay Mountain and other projects. He will bring another spectrum to the Board as a mining engineer experienced in both open pit and underground mines, entrepreneur mentality, business experience, and legal background applied to heavy construction and mining agreements and negotiations. A recent full day, intensive trip to the Company facilities and the Hay Mountain target and adjacent similar exposed mines a few weeks ago, reinforced his enthusiasm and faith in Liberty Star and careful approach to exploration and understanding of mines and mining. We believe Brett will be a giant addition to our Board of Directors and we look forward to having him on the team.”

Liberty Star CEO to Visit East Asia for Naru Capital Roadshow Showcasing Copper-Gold-Moly Hay Mountain Project

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:45 PM on Monday, September 29th, 2014

September 29, 2014 01:41 PM Eastern Daylight Time

TUCSON, Ariz. –Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to announce CEO/Chief Geologist James A. Briscoe will travel to Hong Kong, Japan and Korea in November to meet with potential investors to fund the Hay Mountain Project (“Hay Mountain”) Phase 1 drilling program and further development funding. Naru Capital (“Naru”) has also requested Briscoe present the Mine Finders training program on a roadshow planned for Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and UAE.

According to Naru’s representative, “We have successfully established relations with [potential] investors in Hong Kong who are significantly experienced in mining and thereby appreciate the risk-reward ratio of a greenfield project such as Hay Mountain. In the Middle East, we will be sourcing sophisticated [potential] investors who have been vetted to ensure an interest in early stage opportunities and who would ideally benefit immensely from the Mine Finders program. Based on the interactions between our team and the [potential] investors over the last few weeks, we anticipate good meetings to be held in Hong Kong….Potential meetings in Japan and Korea can be conducted face to face due to the proximity to Hong Kong.”

Briscoe is still in substantial contact with interested parties from the Middle East introduced to Liberty Star during Naru’s first Middle East Roadshow. As part of the second Naru Roadshow Briscoe will continue meetings with these potential investors and begin meetings with new prequalified contacts from Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and UAE. It is yet to be determined if Briscoe will travel to the Middle East for a second time. The presentations may be conducted by GoToMeeting computer meeting exchange, which allows up to 25 participants to view presentations on their computers anywhere in the world simultaneously.

States Briscoe: “We continue our pursuit of a suitable deal for Phase 1 drilling at Hay Mountain. The Mine Finders training program has remained of great interest to multiple contacts from my travels to Saudi Arabia, Oman and Turkey in June. We also have as many as three domestic groups that have expressed interest in investing in developing Hay Mountain. We will work on not only obtaining funds for Phase 1, but looking to future development funding capability as well.”

Liberty Star Submits Plan of Operations for Drilling Hay Mountain Project to Arizona State Land Department; Proposed Period of Operation: September 29, 2014 to September 29, 2015

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:40 AM on Tuesday, August 12th, 2014

TUCSON, Ariz. — Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”)(OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to announce that it has submitted an Exploration Plan of Operation (the “Plan” or the “EPO”), for the State Land component covering the prime anomaly of the Hay Mountain Project, to the Natural Resources Division – Minerals Section of the Arizona State Land Department (“ASLD”), as of today’s date. An approved EPO is required by the State prior to initiating exploration activities on Arizona State Trust land (the Company’s Mineral Exploration Permits or MEPs). Plan evaluation and approval may require 30 to 60 days: the approved EPO remains effective for one year from date of approval and the Company may request extensions if required. Liberty Star has proposed a Period of Operation commencing September 29, 2014. The innovative drilling program proposed by LBSR could begin after that date if the EPO is effective and adequate funding is obtained.

“…the type and extent of the operation to be performed. Include the estimated area of disturbance and provide detailed information for any earth moving or site clearance operations.”

Among the ASLD requirements for application of an EPO is a statement of “Scope of Operation” that describes “…the type and extent of the operation to be performed. Include the estimated area of disturbance and provide detailed information for any earth moving or site clearance operations.” Liberty Star has submitted the following:

“1. Core Drilling and daughter hole drilling for mineral deposits at depths of up to 5,360 feet (1,643 m) and using deviated drilling-directional drilling herein described as daughter holes to drill holes out from the mother holes which will give us information at up to 200 meters out from the mother hole. This will decrease our surface drill sites to 41 drill sites, a decrease of 89% by drilling from the central mother hole.

“2. We will be using a diamond core drill – with rubber tracks that put less pressure on the ground surface (4.8 pounds per square inch) than a human would in walking over the drill site. Rather than trucking water off-road to the drill site with very heavy (10 to 16 tons of water per truck load) we will pipe water to the drill sites as needed for drilling using unburied UV protected flexible polyethylene pipe which will not disturb the surface or vegetation to supply a plastic water tank (2,000 gal) at the drill site.

“3. We will use a very recently developed Solids Recovery Unit (SRU) which uses a centrifuge to clean the drill fluid before pumping it down into the hole again. This reduces the foot print of the drill site and negates the use of a traditional mud sump pit. Drill cuttings are automatically bagged and will be disposed in a land fill after drying.

“4. Personnel will be transported in a rubber tracked side-by-side [a 4WHD mini truck from Polaris] with 4 passenger capacity along with space for tools and consumables. This also has an impact of less than a human foot. Normal pickup trucks will only traverse main roads, only pickup trucks equipped with rubber tracks will travel off main dirt road.”

All vehicles used in the drilling process will be mounted on similar low weight distribution rubber tracks. No roads will be constructed, nor surface disturbance made. Routes to the drill sites will be by rubber tracked vehicle paths and there will be no surface disturbance of soil or vegetation.

States Liberty Star CEO/Chief Geologist Jim Briscoe: “The Scope of Operations statement we have submitted to the ASLD exemplifies our commitment to being excellent stewards of State Trust lands. The Exploration Plan is also financially sound because of the efficiencies we’ve built into the plan including those described above, which we believe should actually lower the cost of operations. With naseba and others, we have laid the groundwork for financing, and are in preliminary discussions with more than 12 entities in various countries where we have made presentations. We need that financing in place to proceed with Phase 1 drilling.”

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this news release that are not historical are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this news release include our expectation that we will receive approval of our EPO and the timing of that approval, the anticipated timing of the EPO after it commences and the availability of extensions if they are required, our ability to raise funds to pay for the Phase I drilling and our belief that the EPO is financially sound and that it should actually lower the cost of operations. Factors which may delay or prevent these forward-looking statements from being realized include receipt and timing of EPO approval and delays in financing, the possibility that we may not be able to raise sufficient funds to complete our intended exploration or carry on operations and the timing of that financing; and the possibility that we may be prevented from drilling due to weather, logistical problems or other field hazards. Despite encouraging results, there may be no commercial grades of mineralization on our properties. Readers should refer to the risk disclosures in our recent 10-K and our other periodic reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Liberty Star Signs Comprehensive New Agreement with Naru Capital a Division of naseba, Extending Successful Partnership to a 4th Term, from July 10 to Dec. 31, 2014

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:50 AM on Wednesday, August 6th, 2014

Meetings in Tucson – Hay Mountain Mid-September and Middle East Planned in October

TUCSON, Ariz.–Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to announce that Liberty Star has once again signed a comprehensive agreement with Naru Capital (“Naru”), a division of naseba.

With the current value of ongoing infrastructure projects in the Middle East estimated at over US$2.62 trillion, the region is currently witnessing significant investments in infrastructure development that drive the demand for metals including copper, aluminum, iron, and nickel among others. Thus investors now seem to be seeking strategic investments in the sector, with the regional material demand forecast set to rise consistently over the next 5-10 years. This will be compounded by the decrees to bring expertise to the region in order to fast track developments of local mining assets as well. Having recognized the potential of Liberty Star and its Board, Naru Capital will be making a major push to get Hay Mountain funded and then fund other projects and targets of Liberty Star.

Naru Capital is a division of naseba group, a French business information company and a deal facilitator focused on the needs and interests of growth market based investors. With on the ground presence in Algiers, Bangalore, Dubai, Monaco, Riyadh, and Shanghai Naru Capital facilitates the introduction of companies raising capital to investors in emerging and growth markets, offering an alternative to traditional avenues to source deal flow. Naru Capital organizes highly-targeted, private capital introduction meetings and investors road shows across a range of growth markets and sectors, introducing each to pre-qualified investment opportunities.

The new agreement is to effectuate financing on a variety of levels for Liberty Star targets and opportunities. This will continue with an additional road show in the locations not yet visited where after extensive preparation and publicity of the opportunity, one on one meetings will be arranged with entities that have the desire and funds to invest in significantly large grass roots or greenfield mineral exploration targets. This will include Hay Mountain. The investment analysts will prioritize the meetings based on investor interest and intent, and will follow up with all the parties to ensure progression from the meetings, which will include potential visits to the southeast Arizona – Tombstone- Bisbee area where the Hay Mountain target is located and to the operating copper mines in the Tucson vicinity that have similar characteristics and are emblematic of the Hay Mountain Project.

Company CEO/Chief Geologist James A. Briscoe will return to the Middle East for a second time in October for highly-targeted, private capital introduction meetings organized by Naru Capital, which makes this the fourth time Naru Capital and Liberty Star have partnered for investors’ acquisition. The road show will include follow up meetings from Briscoe’s June visit to Saudi Arabia, Oman and Turkey which led to the 10 indications of interest, the first step in sending non-disclosure agreements for the Hay Mountain project and offer the Hay Mountain Project/Mine Finders training program to new potential investors.

Naru Capital Managing Director, Fabien Faure said “More than looking at just the financial capabilities of these investors, we also discuss their alternative reasons as to why they would consider an opportunity, before we make any introductions. We have developed trusting relationships with our investors through constant and open dialogue, and mapping their emotional connection to a particular industry, region or opportunity. We also work closely with our investors to establish how a project could benefit them from a strategic point of view, or sometimes how it could benefit them politically.”

Notes Briscoe: “Liberty Star is taking the lead in developing in what we believe will be ‘a major mining project that will be active for decades’. This fact is well known to local investors, but not to international investors. Naru Capital arranged these ‘Investor Road Shows’ of meetings tailored exactly to our requirements, and it has given the opportunity to be introduced in growth markets like India, China and the GCC as a lead in the Hay Mountain project and also discuss the long term Mine Finders training program with an objective of developing a full stream of new mineral discoveries in the Arabian Nubian shield.”

“naseba/ Naru’s approach cuts out a lot of time consuming vetting that I don’t have time to engage in. I am in the midst of the finalization of planning Phase 1 drilling at Hay Mountain and working on required permitting. naseba’s team understands that the Hay Mountain land has been the subject of intense professional geologic, geochemical, and geophysical surveys resulting in profound mutually reinforcing anomalies which indicate the presence of an extremely large porphyry copper/gold multi-metallic system including a very large rare earth element anomaly.”

“Drilling is the next step for the project. The funding we seek is for our innovative, efficient Phase 1 drilling program which will tell us if we have positive drill core indicators of a potentially commercially important ore body rivalling in size and grade several of the other mined ore bodies in the area, ranging from the middle of Arizona, south and east into northern Mexico. naseba has promised to bring us together with potential investors who have the desire to get in on the ground floor of, if we are successful, what I believe will be a major mining project that will be active for decades. Assuming Phase 1 shows positive indications, Phase 2 – lasting 3 years and operating 24/7/365 will continue immediately. Cutting edge equipment and methodology will be used, meeting US-SEC engineering report standards and well as Canadian NI- 43-101 requirements. Registered professionals will supervise all operations, and certified assay laboratories will be used for all metal analysis as the company does on all its projects.”

Additional Expressions of Interest in Liberty Star’s Copper-Gold-REEs Hay Mountain Project, Southeast Arizona and Uranium Assets at North Pipes, Arizona

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:24 PM on Tuesday, August 5th, 2014

TUCSON, Ariz.–Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to announce that one international mining entity and three domestic investing groups have expressed interest in continuing due diligence and possible negotiations for financing Phase 1 drilling, on the Company’s Hay Mountain Project in Cochise County, southeast Arizona. Another company has expressed an interest in the North Pipes Project for uranium and other minerals in northern Arizona. In all cases, these are preliminary expressions of interest but these discussions are underway.

Liberty Star’s Hay Mountain Project (13.45 sq. miles) is located 15 miles northwest of the Bisbee Mining District and shares geologic traits with that area as direct similarities. Hay Mountain has direct similarities to other nearby Arizona porphyry copper deposits as well, including the Mission Pima Mine (ASARCO) which was discovered by drilling into a strong magnetic anomaly like the anomaly over the geochemical anomaly at Hay Mountain, the Silver Bell Mine (ASARCO), the Christmas Mine, the nearby Johnson Camp (Nord Resources), the I-10 porphyry copper, and the recently announced Hermosa Project mine south of Tucson (Wildcat Silver). A successful discovery was recently announced using the almost exact procedures (geochem followed by ZTEM and drilling) at the Balboa porphyry copper at the Cobre Panama Project in central Panama.

Hay Mountain Exploration highlights include:

  1. Geochemical anomalies indicative of a covered porphyry copper-gold-silver-moly mineral zone (NR 104)
  2. Geochemical testing indicative of a large (7 to 9 square mile) rare earth elements anomaly (NR 122)
  3. Ten target areas mapped via data provided by ZTEM geophysical/electromagnetic surveys (NR 170)
  4. A technical report recommending a phased drilling program
  5. Budgets and plans call for Phase 1 drilling at a budget of $6.5 million, followed on success of Phase 1 by a Phase 2 drilling program – $59 million of three years duration (24/7/365) to define an economic mineral zone.

Comments Jim Briscoe, Liberty Star’s CEO/Chief Geologist: “We have been very busy working on the follow-up from my Middle East travels (NR 183) and working on permitting. Now I have additional interested parties to talk to. The Hay Mountain Project is ready for drilling once we can obtain full financing for Phase 1 drilling. We haves plans set in place to fully mobilize for our innovative, cost efficient and environmentally sensitive drilling program as soon as we receive sufficient funding. We will also be working aggressively to finalize a draft agreement for the North Pipes uranium program.”

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. Message to Shareholders

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:53 PM on Thursday, July 24th, 2014

Message to Shareholders

July 24, 2014

The need for a continuous, secure supply of rare earth elements is widely reported. The rare earths mining industry is responding to this need, including Liberty Star; we seek to explore and develop the large (7 – 9 sq mile) rare earth metals anomaly discovered at Hay Mountain in southeast Arizona.

In that endeavor we have engaged a lobbying group, VogelHood Research (NR 181) to bring the Liberty Star REE story before the appropriate congressional subcommittees. Yesterday we submitted Testimony for the Record to the House Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources for the July 23rd hearing on “American Metals and Mineral Security: An examination of the domestic critical minerals supply and demand chain.” Mineweb covered the hearing – Dorothy Kosich “Coherent national mineral policy a must for U.S. manufacturing, Congress told”

Liberty Star’s website includes several links to news, educational articles and videos reinforcing our aim to concentrate on the exploration of the REE anomaly at Hay Mountain.
Summary of REE information shared on our website:

CORRECTING and REPLACING Liberty Star Submits Testimony to US House of Representatives Committee on Natural Resources RE: Strategic Rare Earth Elements

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:59 PM on Wednesday, July 23rd, 2014

CORRECTION…by Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp.

TUCSON, Ariz.–()–Please replace the release with the following corrected version due to multiple revisions.

The corrected release reads:

LIBERTY STAR SUBMITS TESTIMONY TO US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON NATURAL RESOURCES RE: STRATEGIC RARE EARTH ELEMENTS

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to announce written Testimony for the Record has been submitted to the US House of Representatives Committee on Natural Resources Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources for the July 23rd hearing on ”American Metals and Mineral Security: An examination of the domestic critical minerals supply and demand chain.”

CEO/Chief Geologist Jim Briscoe’s address to Shareholders “About Rare Earth Elements” (August 7, 2013) is included in the testimony.

Briscoe’s opening remarks are also included in the Testimony for the Record:

“I am founder, CEO and Chief Geologist of Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp., an Arizona-based mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the states of Arizona and Alaska. Last year I addressed the shareholders of the company regarding the urgent and continuously growing need for rare earth elements (REEs) by industry and the military. I submit that communication here today for the subcommittee’s reviews.

Before presenting that communication, I would like to give the Committee some background on what I believe could be a large and reliable source of rare earth elements in southeast Arizona. While more exploratory work is required, my company discovered the presence of at least 4 of the 17 REEs while conducting geochemical surveys for copper and gold in southeast Arizona, near Tombstone, Arizona, in an area we call the Hay Mountain Project.

In May 2012 we reported via news release (NR 122): ”A surprising presence of rare earth elements (REEs) has been defined over a large area (7 to 9 square miles). This was completely unexpected and justifies further study. The REEs we assayed for are among the 17 REEs now known, are strongly anomalous, and are scandium, yttrium, lanthanum, and cerium. The other 13 known REEs were not included in our assay process. In due course we will re-assay the samples for these additional REEs.”

While previously only small insignificant amounts of REEs had been detected throughout the state, this finding in a new area of mineral exploration could introduce high tech and environmentally sensitive mining to southeast Arizona and would include other strategic metals. The Hay Mountain Project will be primarily a copper mine that would also produce gold, silver, molybdenum, zinc, lead and REEs—all strategic metals required for the 21st Century economy and beyond.”

Liberty Star Update: naseba Hosted Middle East Trip to Make Presentations, Hay Mountain/Mine Finders

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:39 AM on Monday, July 21st, 2014

TUCSON, Ariz.–Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to give an update of the recently concluded Middle East roadshow hosted by Naru Capital (“Naru”), a division of naseba. Company CEO/Chief Geologist Jim Briscoe presented Liberty Star’s premiere property Hay Mountain Project (“Hay Mountain”) in conjunction with the Mine Finders training program (NR 177). All ten meetings were successful with requests for additional information including confidentiality/non-disclosure agreements, project details and specific proposals. It is anticipated that from these meetings the Company can proceed to a memorandum of understanding (MOU) and or a letter of intent (LOI) with the final objective, an executed contract funding the Hay Mountain Project with or without the Mine Finders program. Briscoe’s summary of events:

“The roadshow started in Saudi Arabia (SA) Sunday (a work day) June 22 and was complete after visiting senior executives of 10 large organizations in three different countries in five cities and concluded on Friday evening, June 27. The meetings were conducted in Dammam, Riyadh, and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, and Istanbul, Turkey.

Naru Capital functions as a deal originator for investors in the growth markets with an unbiased approach to sourcing potential investment targets.

They have developed relationships with a network of qualified investors including private investors, sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions, state owned enterprises, educational institutions, natural resource investment companies, private equity firms and capital advisory firms across the growth markets. Their dedicated investor analysts leverage their extensive knowledge and match the needs of the investors with the specifics of the project. Naru’s reach in the liquid emerging markets has led to a database containing over a million contacts with areas of expertise including capital markets, energy, health care, and natural resources (our category).

From their list of investor clients Naru determines what entities are a match for the client’s project. They start with hundreds of potentials and screen them over a period of months. It involves an extensive search for just the right matchup between the client (Liberty Star) and the objectives and financial capability of the investor and includes extensive targeted vetting. Only a few finalists are chosen – in our case 10 entities.

Meetings are arranged between the client (Liberty Star) and the potential investor, the business case is presented in a personal one on one meeting.

After the presentation Naru provides a debrief report and an action plan for Liberty Star with input from the investors.

For each investor met with a positive response, Liberty Star will send a confidentiality, non-compete agreement (CA), a proposed deal, a letter of intent (LOI), a memorandum of understanding (MOU) and then, after an agreement has been hammered out, an executable contract. Of course after the CA has been signed Liberty will disclose all information on the project to the potential funder.

As a result of our presentations, all parties have responded positively and would like further documents and information.

We are currently working on preparation of documents. We are preparing thank you notes, confidentiality/non-disclosure/non-compete agreements, background data, and business plans and proposals for the Hay Mountain Project and the Mine Finders program, and are preparing letters of intent and memoranda of understanding, which we believe will lead to one or more investments in our proposals.”

Liberty Star’s Copper, Gold, REEs Hay Mountain Project: Exploration Drill Planning Update

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:19 AM on Thursday, June 19th, 2014

TUCSON, Ariz.–Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”)(OTCQB: LBSR) offers details about phase 1 exploration in addition to drilling Target One (“Target One”) initially announced in Company News Release 180 (June 11, 2014). The drilling targets were selected according to superimposed geology, geochemistry, and geophysics, including 2D and 3D interpretations of the ZTEM, EM (Electro Magnetics) and Mag (Magnetic) data. Mother drill hole centers initially announced as 41 in number on Target One, have been increased to 150 over multiple targets to allow drill plan mobility over the entire terrain of all targets. The actual number and location of mother holes and daughter holes drilled will be dependent on results of initial and succeeding drill holes and their relationship to geochemistry and the ZTEM geophysical data as we seek to develop an economic mineral body.

“We plan to use innovative techniques to avoid any unnecessary disturbance to the land surface during the drilling process. These will be detailed in the future. Our next step is a project partner and that is where we are concentrating our effort.”

Target specifics:

  1. Target One is within the molybdenum geochemistry anomaly: approximately 11.4 sq. km (4.4 square miles) see LBSR Hay Mountain Geochemistry Anomalies Map
  2. The rare earth element (REE) anomaly (NR 181) also has drill hole centers (mother drill holes and attendant daughter holes) spotted over some of the anomaly for initial test work.
  3. Work has progressed so that Targets 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 for copper, moly, precious metals and REEs all have proposed mother drill hole centers. This area will encompass more than 26 sq. km (10 sq. miles).
  4. The permitting process for drilling is underway. The mother drill hole centers requiring permitting are on State Mineral Exploration Permit (MEPs) lands, US Bureau of Land Management lode mining claim lands held by Liberty Star, and privately held land (water permits only from the AZ Department of Water Resources).

Comments Liberty Star’s CEO and Chief Geologist Jim Briscoe: “We plan to use innovative techniques to avoid any unnecessary disturbance to the land surface during the drilling process. These will be detailed in the future. Our next step is a project partner and that is where we are concentrating our effort.”

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this news release that are not historical are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this news release include our exploration plans, that we have drill targets that have potential drill targets, that we have a major anomaly on our property, that the only thing to do is drilling, that we can get permits, and that we can get a project partner. Factors which may delay or prevent these forward-looking statements from being realized include: we may not be able to raise sufficient funds to complete our intended exploration, keep our properties or carry on operations; misinterpretation of data is possible; and we may be unable to continue exploration due to permitting requirements, weather, logistical problems, labor or equipment problems or hazards even if funds are available. Despite encouraging data there may be no commercially exploitable mineralization on our properties.

Liberty Star Engages Washington, DC, Based Policy Analytics Firm VogelHood

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:19 AM on Tuesday, June 17th, 2014

TUCSON, Ariz. —Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to announce it has engaged VogelHood Research LLC to monitor federal legislative and regulatory activity regarding rare earth elements (REEs).

“Recent federal government activity focusing on the strategic and commercial value of REEs has been widely reported and may signal that we may have an opportunity to engage government funding to explore the REEs’ development possibilities at Hay Mountain.”

In 2012 geochemical sampling at Hay Mountain revealed the presence of four and perhaps more rare earth elements (NR 122). A key component of the Hay Mountain Project phase 1 drilling program is to aggressively pursue exploration and development of a viable REEs resource. The Company’s CEO and Chief Geologist addressed shareholders on the topic in August 2013 (view on the Liberty Star website: Jim Briscoe on REEs).

Comments Briscoe: “Recent federal government activity focusing on the strategic and commercial value of REEs has been widely reported and may signal that we may have an opportunity to engage government funding to explore the REEs’ development possibilities at Hay Mountain.”
