Liberty Star Announces Statement by CEO/Chief Geologist James A. Briscoe and Update in Travel Plans

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:26 AM on Wednesday, February 18th, 2015

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb 18, 2015 — Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR), which holds 100% interests in the Company’s premier exploration property for porphyry copper, gold and associated commercial metals, The Hay Mountain Project (southeast Arizona – Cochise County), is pleased to announce a shareholder update and comments from the CEO. Additionally, new travel arrangements have been set: Mr. Briscoe and Director Brett Gross depart for Manila, Philippines, February 26th to meet a group of mining professionals introduced to the Company by a long-time Liberty Star shareholder, mining engineer and investor, in an all-day meeting on Monday, March 2, 2015. The pair plan to make multiple in-depth presentations to an audience of potential investors that have signed binding non-compete/non-disclosure agreements. The naseba roadshow announced in NR 193 has been postponed.

James A. Briscoe, Chairman, CEO and Chief Geologist, offers the following update and comments:

“At this time I feel it is important to reaffirm our goals for the Hay Mountain Project and the company at large. The financing of our yearlong Phase 1 drilling program at our Hay Mountain Project remains priority one. I plan to travel to Manila, Philippines, to meet sophisticated potential investors with this goal in mind. We were scheduled to travel to the Middle East for a roadshow sponsored by naseba/Naru Capital, but events there and ensuing turmoil have intervened and I and the board of directors have decided that I should not travel to the area until security issues have been resolved. I have arranged with Naru/naseba to undertake teleconference meetings with appropriate candidates from the Middle East area for now. While Hong Kong was on the agenda and is a good venue, we will have to put it off until more contacts have been made.

“Let me go over some of the financial realities we are operating under right now that have impacted the Company. Natural resource prices have hit multiyear lows which have turned investment not only away from our efforts, but the industry at large. I invite you to look at the stock trading charts of any exploration or mining company and you will see red ink everywhere. I believe this will not last long term and that copper and gold prices must go up: if not immediately, the trend must return to conform to the global demand for resources that is widely acknowledged. While I am in no position to take responsibility for this mega-trend knowledge, I do intend to capitalize on it for shareholders when negotiating with potential investors in Hay Mountain. Right now the cost of exploration is depressed: it will be a sage partner who will enter the market at its very lowest and understands the adage ‘buy low, sell high’ and understands the supercycle for metal prices, especially copper (see Don’t Get Hung Up on Short-term Copper Prices: Lawrence Roulston, Jan 22, 2015).

“I also want to address questions that have come to my attention:

“Question 1: Is a reverse split under consideration? I am not considering this option at this time. Even if I did decide to reverse split because of a new regulatory requirement or other unforeseen reason, I would first seek approval of the shareholders to increase the authorized capital, and there would be prior notice through our filings with the SEC. When we progress to the drilling stage and as the copper price rises, as it always does and will again, I believe our fortunes will rise as well, and a rollback will have seemed inconsequential.

“Question 2: Am I considering changing the Phase 1 drilling program to drilling a couple of mother holes soon, using Liberty’s funds, rather than waiting for a JV? No, I think that is not a good idea for the Company and its shareholders. My thinking stems from my experience and the history of exploration in the area. I’ve been involved in porphyry copper exploration and mining for 50 years. It was my good fortune to have worked directly for two of the world’s great ore finders and lifelong business partners, ASARCO geologists Kenyon Richard, and James Harold Courtright, respectively VP Exploration and Chief Geologist. I’ve spent many hours and days with these two mentors, who took time to review the exploration histories of the discovery of Silverbell, the Mission Mine (both in Pima County, Arizona), and many others in Arizona, Nevada, Canada, southern Peru, Mexico, the Mother Lode gold belt, California and the Mesquite and Cargo Muchacho gold mines in southeast California. I spent two intensive years working in the Silverbell mine under them where I extended and expanded the seven-year-long drill program which had about ‘six weeks’ to go on my arrival to an additional 4 years with additional drill rigs. I found with this intimate contact with a classic operating open pit porphyry copper mine that even a porphyry copper can have dead spots in it. In a study I personally set up, I determined that if Silverbell had been completely covered and had only an IP (induced polarization study and anomaly: the primary geophysical tool at the time) it would have required 21 holes spaced on a 1,000 foot grid, to be sure that one intersected ore grade material.

“To hope that ‘a hole or two’ would intersect ore is a sure road to a ‘gambler’s ruin’ and would never have been allowed under the Richard and Courtright team management. Note it took them 27 holes into the Mission target before ore grade material was cut by the diamond drills, resulting in the massive Mission Mine that has now been operating 50 years with at least 30 years left. Liberty Star will continue to pursue our careful plan that will result in a thorough and professional test of the world-class anomaly at the Hay Mountain Target 1. Remember, the Hay Mountain target is projected to be a mega multiyear exploration, development and mining project. The dimension of the geochemical and geophysical response is 4 miles long by 2 miles wide, a permissible size to contain a ‘World Class’ very large mineral deposit. The only way to determine where the hot spots are is to drill diamond drill holes to test for mineralization while confirming and honing our geophysics, geology, and geochemistry knowledge. Rather than making Phase 1 small and desperate, careful analysis sees the project expanding the possible number of viable targets and the funding requirements. One of the key attributes of Phase 1 is its economic practicality: that would be completely destroyed if a drilling rig was employed to only drill two holes because the drill and all of its men and equipment is expensive to mobilize and demobilize. Also ore grade mineralization might be missed entirely.

“Raising money is very hard in the current economic circumstances, but given recent interest the Hay Mountain Project has generated, certainly possible.

“We have serious interest from experienced mining professionals that also possess the financial means to invest in Hay Mountain and will also participate in the conceptualizing of operations there. The invitation to present in Manila came from Mr. Tomas Malihan, CEO & President of Oremet Corp., Mr. Angelito Doria, VP Civic Corp., and Mr. Alfonso Doria, Philippine mining engineer and longtime supporter and major Liberty Star shareholder. Mr. Alfonso Doria completed a 3 day trip with me to southeast Arizona copper mines surrounding Hay Mountain and then Hay Mountain, examining surface outcrops, and technical documents concerning the Hay Mountain Project. He was duly impressed with the thoroughness of the approach and indications of the presence of a large but covered metal source resulting in geochemical, alteration and geophysical indications. His report of his evaluation resulted in the above-mentioned invitation to present in Manila. In an all-day meeting at a major hotel in downtown Manila between 10 and 20 mining professionals, including mining representatives from the Philippines, China, and India, will listen to me and Mr. Brett Gross, Mining Engineer, Attorney and Liberty Star Director. I will speak extensively about the geology, geochemistry and geophysics of Hay Mountain and why they indicate a mineral body at depth. Mr. Gross will present an innovative and financially attractive proposal to them for funding Hay Mountain, Phase 1 and beyond. There will be time for detailed information transfer as well a question and answer session.

“Multiple copper and precious metal mines are underway in southern Arizona, primarily funded by Canadian junior to intermediate companies. We have now been contacted, regarding interest in Hay Mountain, by three major international mining companies that are among the world’s largest. This is indicative of the perceived quality of the Hay Mountain Project. We hope these expressions of interest generate visits to the Hay Mountain area, continued due diligence by multiple parties and the eventual signing of a joint venture agreement. This is not a quick process to undertake a large project, but it is a beginning. We are optimistic that even during this period of low metal prices we are generating genuine interest and feel optimistic that a deal or deals will be struck on Hay Mountain.”

“James A. Briscoe” James A. Briscoe, Professional Geologist, AZ CA CEO/Chief Geologist Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp.

Additional Encouraging Results from the Julie Nickel-Copper Discovery; 1.82% Nickel Over 11.64 Metres Channel Intersection

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:15 PM on Monday, January 26th, 2015

Baie-Comeau, Quebec / January 26, 2015 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) (US OTC: SXOOF) is pleased to announce today that a new series of results increased the size and grades of the previously reported mineralized T1 Zone, as well as additional positive results from the T2 Zone from its wholly owned Julie Nickel-Copper project on the Quebec North Shore.

Results from T1 Zone

The initial discovery on the T1 Zone which yielded 1.71% Nickel over 8.49 meters was reported on December 29, 2014. New results from the Channel #1 on the T1 Zone extend the length of the intersection an additional 3.15 meters grading 2.14% Nickel, 0.33% Copper and 0.04% Cobalt. These compiled results are highlighted in the table below:

The starting point of the channel cut was located at N49? 57.463′ W69? 27.045′

Zone T1 is an area measuring 70 metres by 56 metres. The ultramafic intrusive suite that hosts the new discovery can be traced along a magnetic conductor identified in 2011, which runs for approximately 13 kilometres in a WSW to ENE trend.

Results from T2 Zone

The T2 Zone is a surface mineralized zone measuring 52 metres by 18 metres. This zone is located 116 metres away from the initial discovery of “T1” on an East-North-East trend. It is categorized by a series of small gossans within a larger zone of mafic and ultramafic rocks at or near surface.

When added to the T1 Zone already identified it covers a total strike length of 238 meters of mineralisation and coincides with the ultramafic intrusive suite which hosts the new discovery.

The table below outlines the results from an 18.68 metre channel sample taken sub-parallel the mineralized body at surface and starts approximately 171 meters away from the end of the channel #1 on T1 zone:

Quality Control

Mr. Joel Scodnick (P.Geo.), Vice-President Exploration of the Company, is the independent qualified person for the technical disclosure contained in this news release. Mr. Scodnick has supervised the work programs on the Julie Project, examined the samples summarized in this release, discussed, reviewed the results with the Company’s geological staff and reviewed the available analytical and quality control results.

Channel cuts samples and drill core samples were transported in sealed bags from Baie-Comeau to a warehouse facility in Montreal. There they have been opened, washed, photographed again, logged, resealed and transported to Agat Laboratories in Dorval, Quebec. Agat Laboratories transported the samples to their analytical facilities in Mississauga, Ontario. Base metal analyses were initially obtained via ICP-AES Aqua Regia and 4 Acid digestions. The two digestion methods show good correlation. Nickel values in excess of 10,000 ppm were reanalyzed using a sodium peroxide fusion followed by ICP-AES finish.

CLIENT FEATURE: (GGI: TSX-V) Attractive Share Structure, Strong News flow of out BC and Mexico

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:47 PM on Tuesday, January 20th, 2015

WHY GARIBALDI RESOURCES CORP?

  • Attractive share structure
  • Drilling in progress – strong news flow from Mexico and B.C.

LEADERSHIP. MOVING FORWARD. BUILDING VALUE.

  • Synergistic mix of business, market & geological expertise
  • Drilling underway at La Patilla Gold Property (high-grade targets) plus multiple drill-ready targets at 3 district-scale projects in Mexico
  • Largest landholder (262km2) among juniors in Sheslay Cu – Au porphyry discovery area at top of B.C’s Golden Triangle

GARIBALDI APPROACH AND ADVANTAGE IN MEXICO

 

Through the strength of its geological team and the use of cutting- edge technology and proprietary data, Garibaldi has built a foundation for lasting success in Mexico:

  • GGI continues to accurately pinpoint the most prospective targets for potential new discoveries in large, district-scale land packages
  • Project value is being cost-effectively unlocked
  • Financial strength is being built (i.e., sale of Temoris option, current Tonichi pilot coal program generating royalty income)

La Patilla Project

  • First-ever diamond drilling at the La Patilla gold property in Sinaloa state has returned highly encouraging gold values near-surface, including an interval grading 10.4 grams per tonne gold over 8.5
  • Five of six holes drilled to test the La Patilla vein system intersected broad zones of mineralization along 75 metres of strike length to depths of approximately 50 metres

Rodadero North Project

  • Drilling along almost 100 meters of strike length has returned significant high-grade silver intersections within 50 meters of surface, and mineralization remains open in all directions;
  • SE-14-03 intersected 1,935 g/t Ag (62.2 oz/t) between 4 and 5 meters’ depth while the most recent hole (SE-14-06) – the farthest step-out from previously reported discovery hole SE-14-01 – has produced the widest mineralized intercept to date;
  • Surface sampling at three target areas immediately southeast and east of Silver Eagle has returned high-grade silver (up to 8,000 g/t Ag) in addition to high-grade gold (up to 52.6 g/t Au) as explained further in this update;
  • As Garibaldi commences a second round of drilling at Silver Eagle, the total number of mineralized target areas within the 45 sq. km Rodadero North Project has increased from eight to 11.
  • Phase 2 diamond drilling continues, surface sampling results from mineralized outcrops indicate continued high silver values in addition to a significant increase in base metal content (up to 14.9% lead and 1.8% zinc) 1.5 km to 3 km south of discovery hole SE-14-01.

NORTHWEST B.C. – DOMINANT LANDHOLDER IN EMERGING SHESLAY CAMP


  • Successful exploration methods developed in Mexico are now being adopted to rapidly advance the company’s 100%-owned Grizzly Property
  • Multiple targets are being identified over 15 km from Grizzly West to Grizzly Central
  • GGI is the largest landholder among juniors in this highly prospective, under-exploited new Cu-Au porphyry discovery area in prolific Stikine Arch
  • Recently announced that it has acquired two highly prospective Cu-Au porphyry properties within the Stikine Arch

Red Lion

  • The Red Lion prospect, comprising 35 sq. km, is located 60 km south of AuRico Gold’s Kemess mine and adjoins the Kiska Metals’ Kliyul Cu-Au porphyry project under option to Teck Resources Ltd. The Red Lion shows extremely strong Cu-Au stream sediment geochemistry in both Government Regional Geochemical Survey responses and follow-up proprietary surveys. Access and infrastructure at Red Lion are excellent with the powerline to the Kemess South mine only three km away.

Mount Sister Mary (MSM)

  • The MSM prospect, comprising 58 sq. km, is located approximately 50 km northeast of Imperial Metals’ Red Chris mine and is underlain by similar Triassic and Jurassic volcanic and plutonic rocks. Government Regional Geochemical Survey responses confirm prior assessment work in which at least eight Cu-Ag-Au showings have been documented on the property.

Continuity of Nickel-Copper System Extended for 584 Meters on Julie Nickel Discovery on the Quebec North-Shore

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:54 PM on Tuesday, January 13th, 2015

  • New batch of results has extended the total strike of the Nickel-Copper occurrences on the Julie-Nickel Discovery to a length of 584 meters.
  • Best result from the portable drill samples yielded 1.17% Nickel at approximately 211 meters away from a previous discovery on the T1 Zone which yielded 1.71% Nickel over 8.49 meters

Baie-Comeau, Quebec / January 13, 2015 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) (US OTC: SXOOF) is pleased to announced today that a new batch of results has extended the total strike of the Nickel-Copper occurrences on the Julie-Nickel Discovery to a length of 584 meters. The best result from the portable drill samples yielded 1.17% Nickel at approximately 211 meters away from a previous discovery on the T1 Zone which yielded 1.71% Nickel over 8.49 meters

Results Warrant Acceleration of Plans for Julie Nickel Discovery

“We are very encouraged by these new additional results coming out of the Julie-Nickel Project. The fact that these latest results were achieved over 200 metres away from a previous discovery makes us optimistic for the future of this early stage project. As such, we have accelerated our plan and expect to bring this discovery to drill ready stage before the summer of 2015.” Commented Frank Dumas, President & CEO of the Company.

“This acceleration is further supported by the expectation that nickel prices could move dramatically higher over the next two years as a cyclical recovery takes hold in the base metal sector, according to a recent report from Scotiabank” Dumas went on to say.

Joel Scodnick, P.Geo., Vice-President Exploration of St-Georges commented: “(…) no matter how you look at this mineralized corridor, there’s a 13km long magnetic anomaly that appears to be spatially associated with the Julie showing and all the other showings along strike of the Julie showing as mentioned in the press release. This structure is further evidence of a fairly extensive and pervasive plumbing system responsible for the concentrations of nickel discovered so far. Based on the surface work conducted and very shallow drilling using a man-held portable drill it is imperative at this point that St George’s establish a detailed grid in preparation for a diamond drilling campaign. If it can be established that the nickel sulphide enrichment is present at depth and along strike then a deposit of significance could be present, especially given the fact that the structure is so long and most like deep-rooted.”

Results Summary

T2 Zone

A surface mineralized zone of 52 meters by 18 meters referred to as “T2” has been identified. This zone is located 116 meters away from the initial discovery of “T1” on an East-North-East trend. It is categorized by a series of small gossans within a larger zone of mafic and ultramafic rocks at or near surface.

When added to the T1 Zone already identified (See Press Release, December 29, 2014) it covers a total of 238 meters of mineralisation and coincides with the ultramafic intrusive suite which hosts the new discovery which has been identified by geophysical data obtained by St-Georges in 2011 where a 13 kilometres magnetic conductor on a WSW to ENE trend was discovered.

The table below outline the results from a 2.88 meter channel sample taken in parallel with the mineralized body at surface:

Liberty Star’s Porphyry Copper-Gold-Moly Hay Mountain Project: 2014 Summary of Activity & 2015 Management Discussion

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:38 AM on Monday, January 12th, 2015

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to update shareholders and interested parties regarding the Company’s 2014 activities, including progress toward obtaining approval of its Plan of Operation for the Hay Mountain Project (“Hay Mountain”) in southeast Arizona’s Cochise County within the historic Tombstone mining district. More topics of discussion include CEO/Chief Geologist James A. Briscoe’s travel plans for the 1st quarter of 2015 to the Middle East, Hong Kong and Manila to secure funding for Phase 1 exploratory drilling at Hay Mountain and other more long range planning.

The Last 12 Months:

1.

Planning and Geoscientific Interpretation:

This period was primarily occupied with planning and permitting of Hay Mountain. This included conceptualizing and creating a plan for an aggressive drill program which would result in a strongly compressed time line to test and drill out what our evidence suggests is a large porphyry copper-moly precious metal system with a footprint large enough to contain a very large mineral body. Our goals are to drill out this body within a span of 4 years and to bring it into production within 7 years of the start of drilling. This is a very tall order, because the average time to bring an orebody into production now in the USA is 15 years. We have brought to bear a lot of computerized data gathering that we have used in other projects in order to reduce time to a minimum and lower costs. We refined this detailed computerized exploration plan and created a budget, using Microsoft Project® including 5,000 line items (resources) are scheduled and costed on a simple but effective computer Gantt Chart, that will allow us to keep track on a daily basis of projected cost vs actual cost and predict daily time- to- completion of our objectives would be as the project progresses. Many operations, permitting procedures and community outreach will proceed simultaneously with the exploration and mine development procedures. The reason for this attention to timing was the result of information gleaned from our visit to India and later China. In consultation with industry-leading drilling experts, and other specialists including our permanent staff and Technical Board of Advisors, it has resulted in one of the most innovative plans using various time and expense saving procedures throughout the exploration program that have resulted in a very low “all-in” cost per foot of drilling. We believe we can meet these timing expectations.
2.

Permitting
a.

Approval by the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) of the Company’s Plan of Operation (the “Plan”) is required to conduct exploratory drilling at the first Hay Mountain target, which is located primarily on State Land. The Plan of Operation was submitted to the ASLD in August with a proposed period of operation of one year beginning September 29, 2014 (NR 187). Liberty Star has so far answered all questions and comments from the ASLD and expects final acceptance of its Plan within the next 20 to 60 days or so (given expected delays around the holiday season). Upon approval, Liberty Star’s drilling contractor will obtain drilling permits from the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) which takes very little time to process. Once those permits are in hand, and appropriate funding is in place, Phase 1 drilling can begin at Hay Mountain.
b.

Approval by the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) we also need drilling permits on the relatively small amount of Federal Lode Mining Claims making up some of our land package. These permits are not as time-critical as the ASLD permits, but it is our objective to obtain these in the first quarter, 2015.
3.

Altered and Mineralized Outcrops Discovered The only geologic map of sufficient detail covering the Hay Mountain area published in 1956 (James Gilluly, General Geology of central Cochise County, AZ, USGS Professional Paper 281, 169 pages) was prepared during the late 1930s and 40s appears to be of excellent quality considering its small scale. However, more detailed surface mapping in concert with new very high resolution natural color space imagery reveal previously unmapped outcrops with occasional specks of green copper oxide, and suspected black copper oxide, along with silica and carbonate veining similar to that adjacent to the Copper Queen Mine in limestones at Bisbee about 15 miles to the south. This recognition is important, and we believe with further work it will be expanded to reveal more outcrop. This suggests the following:
a.

The depth to mineralization may be much shallower at least in some areas than had been previously supposed; giving strength to the possibility that a mineral body amenable to open pit mining at relatively shallow depth may be present.
b.

The presence of oxide copper at the surface suggests there may be a near surface mineral body of oxide copper that could be recovered by heap leaching or in situ leaching, either one or both recovered by solvent extraction – electrowinning. This method of copper or gold /silver mining where the metallurgy is optimum, is the least costly to perform and requires minimal plant infrastructure and hence lower capital requirements for startup. Several such projects nearby either have been in production, are in production or are in testing and feasibility for production. These include:

• Bisbee – Copper and uranium – past

• Bisbee – the Cochise ore body – future

• Tombstone – silver and gold – past

• Safford – copper – production now

• Rosemont – copper – under consideration

• Johnson Camp, Texas Canyon, AZ –open pit heap leach copper -dormant

• I-10, Gunnison Hills, Excelsior, Texas Canyon, AZ -copper – in situ- in pre-feasibility studies.

Discovery of such a leachable ore body, similar those enumerated above, could result in a very fast tracked production facility producing wire grade copper which would be marketed as (or before) it was produced, creating an almost immediate positive cash flow from this production
c. Drilling would continue to define:
i. An expected sulfide enrichment mineral body or skarn limestone hosted body or both which might be mined by open pit: examples – Bisbee, Silverbell & Mission-Pima, Arizona, USA
ii. A deep seated high volume underground mineral body that would be mined via shafts, and appropriate underground methods examples – Bingham Canyon, Utah, USA, Grasberg, Papua Province, New Guinea
d.

If such mineral bodies as in a, b and c, above were to be defined and if they were to be projected by standard engineering studies to be profitable, by standard mining methods, mine and mill construction would be undertaken and large scale production would ensue.
e. Such developments as noted in a, b, and c above would be preceded by Bankable Feasibility Studies and funding could then become available through bank consortia or other typical sources.
4.

New Targets Identified in the Last Two Months Over the last two months, additional redrafting, clarification and reinterpretation of the geoscientific data over the Hay Mountain area now defined as the “Area of Mutual Interest (AMI)” covering approximately 42 sq. miles (109 sq. km), and including previously identified anomalies, have been undertaken. Other anomalies of potential importance have been identified. This is not a reprocessing of the metadata received from the Geotech ZTEM metadata, or their Professional scientific interpretation of that data in their Professional Report on the survey, but simply a clarification and reinterpretation based on that clarification.
a.

These targets will be incorporated into an updated business plan that is currently being drafted with the intent of making future proposals more financially rewarding, and thus more attractive to venture partners.
b. When these plans are finalized and vetted by specialists, they will be incorporated into our proposals for funding.
5.

ASLD Permits In addition to approval of its Plan by the ASLD, Liberty Star needs to fund Phase 1’s newly planned expenditure of $9 million that will incorporate proportional funding for preliminary exploration of the additional targets mentioned in 4, above.
6.

Recent Tours of the Hay Mountain Project There are increasingly more parties interested in the Hay Mountain Project. Mr. Briscoe and our arm’s length skarn porphyry copper expert consultant have conducted several tours of the Hay Mountain Project area and other sites of importance to the understanding of Hay Mountain, in southeast Arizona, with potential funders. These other sites of importance draw a close comparison to existing porphyry copper deposits with Hay Mountain.
7.

We expect to conduct as many as two more of these site visits and accompanying tours before traveling to the Middle East, Hong Kong and Manila, (Philippines) as previously announced in September (NR 188) and in this update. Naru Capital – naseba (“Naru”) will sponsor a Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Oman, Dubai) roadshow specifically designed to match Liberty Star’s funding expectations with the appropriate pool of prequalified potential funders. Their plan is to continue the roadshow in Hong Kong. Briscoe then intends to visit Manila, Philippines in response to specific expressions of interest from potential investors in that mining country; a representative of the group (a mining engineer and large Liberty Star share holder) has taken a field trip to the Hay Mountain Project area recently, with positive response. Briscoe’s travel is scheduled to begin the third week of February, 2015.

Comments Mr. Briscoe:

“Season’s Greetings to Liberty Star shareholders and supporters. As we face a new year it is time that I reaffirm Liberty Star’s goal to commence drilling at Hay Mountain and define an economic body of mineralization there. From surface studies and a deep understanding of the area, we have concluded that we may expect a very large, near surface porphyry copper mineral body, extending to great depth. This conclusion must be proved through exploration drilling. I expect that drilling in 2015 will confirm our geoscientific data. It has been frustrating that we could not move to the drilling phase this year, but the slow process of permitting State land, and the difficult state of the economy as a whole and the mining industry in particular cannot be denied. I am routinely asked why we have been unable to obtain funding for Hay Mountain since the indicators for success are so strong. The answer is long and complex. Those of you that follow mineral exploration and mining know the severe state of the industry due to the downturn in the minerals Super Cycle, which finds industry giants such as Freeport McMoRan and BHP Billiton and many others trading significantly down over last year. Despite this current downturn for us in mining, several current economic studies suggest the Super Cycle may be setting up for a resurgence, though it is much more complex with the entrance of China and other new consuming and producing countries versus earlier periods when it was driven primarily by North America and Europe (including the U.K. and Australia). Computer reduction of these complexities show it is, in fact, alive and well and is moving forward to another increase in time for us to profit from our efforts (from Keynote luncheon address SME Yearly meeting 12-08-2014 by Raymond Goldie, Salman Bros.). I believe we can turn the corner and prosper as metal prices are bound to rise substantially with this projected resurgence. I, and many others industry-wide, believe the long term demand is there and several studies show the World will need more copper in the next 25 years than in all the history of mankind. The task at hand is to find appropriately risk-tolerant investors that are seeking to enter a market that is at its bottom and willing to stay for a rise that will be several years in the making but just in time for our potential production. I will continue to work with the experts at naseba/Naru to help us find such investors with sufficient financial wherewithal, but I am open to hearing from any credible alternative funding sources for Phase 1, in combination with or independently of others. I believe that our Phase 1 investors will be rewarded greatly for the investment they make in funding our Hay Mountain Project.”

Management discussion – Expectations, First Quarter 2015

1. Director Brett Gross will be working to improve the Company’s structure to enhance long term stability and attractiveness to all prospective investors. This will include, in addition to other things, a succession plan for critical and key employees. A corporation, as an entity with a legally perpetual life, dictates such succession planning to assure long term company strength, stability and sustainability. While there are no current concerns of any critical or key employee becoming unable to perform his or her duties, prudent corporate policy demands planning for the duration of the corporation’s existence. This includes succession planning for positions essential to seamless corporate continuity.
2. It is also our objective to move our existing projects forward including Walnut Creek and others in the Tombstone area, North Pipes, and other opportunities which have come and continue coming to our attention. Some of these are smaller (than Hay Mountain) and include precious as well as base metals. My trips to India, China, and the Middle East suggest there is also a strong interest in these types of more moderately sized projects as well as mega projects like Hay Mountain.

During 2015

We hope to achieve several milestones following return from my trip to the Middle East, Hong Kong and the Philippines, including:

1. Having funding in place to start Phase 1 drilling on the main Hay Mountain target in the second half, 2015
2. In the second quarter, have detailed geoscientific work on our other AMI targets well underway and subsequent drilling programs well into the planning – permitting stages
3. Placing additional funding for the new AMI targets
4. By mid-fourth quarter, 2015, being well underway with and increasingly successfully intersecting strong mineralization in Hay Mountain Target 1, Phase 1, and beginning Target 1, Phase 2 funding draw-down and the associated three-year drilling 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 all our planned drilling program and our planned route to access partners or funding sources, including without limitation our plan to commence drilling at Hay Mountain and define an economic body of mineralization there; that we can drill out the project within a span of 4 years and to bring it into production within 7 years of the start of drilling; that discovery of such a leachable ore body, similar those enumerated above, could result in a very fast tracked production facility producing wire grade copper which would be marketed; that we expect final acceptance of our plan of operation within the next 20 to 60 days; that BLM permits will be granted in the first quarter 2015; that metal prices will rebound; and that Mr. Briscoe’s travels will result in a potential partner for our projects . Factors which may delay or prevent these forward-looking statements from being realized include: the failure of our proposals to be accepted; we may not attract any partners or funding sources; we may not be able to raise sufficient funds to complete our intended exploration, keep our properties or carry on operations; and we may encounter an inability to continue exploration due to weather, logistical problems, labor or equipment problems or hazards even if funds are available. Even if we find a partner, we may not be able to reach agreement or carry out the development program as contemplated. Despite encouraging data there may be no commercially exploitable mineralization on our properties. Readers should refer to the risk disclosures in the Company’s recent 10-K and the Company’s other periodic reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

La Patilla Project

  • First-ever diamond drilling at the La Patilla gold property in Sinaloa state has returned highly encouraging gold values near-surface, including an interval grading 10.4 grams per tonne gold over 8.5
  • Five of six holes drilled to test the La Patilla vein system intersected broad zones of mineralization along 75 metres of strike length to depths of approximately 50 metres

Rodadero North Project

  • Drilling along almost 100 meters of strike length has returned significant high-grade silver intersections within 50 meters of surface, and mineralization remains open in all directions;
  • SE-14-03 intersected 1,935 g/t Ag (62.2 oz/t) between 4 and 5 meters’ depth while the most recent hole (SE-14-06) – the farthest step-out from previously reported discovery hole SE-14-01 – has produced the widest mineralized intercept to date;
  • Surface sampling at three target areas immediately southeast and east of Silver Eagle has returned high-grade silver (up to 8,000 g/t Ag) in addition to high-grade gold (up to 52.6 g/t Au) as explained further in this update;
  • As Garibaldi commences a second round of drilling at Silver Eagle, the total number of mineralized target areas within the 45 sq. km Rodadero North Project has increased from eight to 11.
  • Phase 2 diamond drilling continues, surface sampling results from mineralized outcrops indicate continued high silver values in addition to a significant increase in base metal content (up to 14.9% lead and 1.8% zinc) 1.5 km to 3 km south of discovery hole SE-14-01.

NORTHWEST B.C. – DOMINANT LANDHOLDER IN EMERGING SHESLAY CAMP


  • Successful exploration methods developed in Mexico are now being adopted to rapidly advance the company’s 100%-owned Grizzly Property
  • Multiple targets are being identified over 15 km from Grizzly West to Grizzly Central
  • GGI is the largest landholder among juniors in this highly prospective, under-exploited new Cu-Au porphyry discovery area in prolific Stikine Arch
  • Recently announced that it has acquired two highly prospective Cu-Au porphyry properties within the Stikine Arch

Red Lion

  • The Red Lion prospect, comprising 35 sq. km, is located 60 km south of AuRico Gold’s Kemess mine and adjoins the Kiska Metals’ Kliyul Cu-Au porphyry project under option to Teck Resources Ltd. The Red Lion shows extremely strong Cu-Au stream sediment geochemistry in both Government Regional Geochemical Survey responses and follow-up proprietary surveys. Access and infrastructure at Red Lion are excellent with the powerline to the Kemess South mine only three km away.

Mount Sister Mary (MSM)

  • The MSM prospect, comprising 58 sq. km, is located approximately 50 km northeast of Imperial Metals’ Red Chris mine and is underlain by similar Triassic and Jurassic volcanic and plutonic rocks. Government Regional Geochemical Survey responses confirm prior assessment work in which at least eight Cu-Ag-Au showings have been documented on the property.

St-Georges to Focus on Julie Nickel Discovery; Withdrawal of Zambian Interest

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:29 PM on Friday, January 9th, 2015

Baie-Comeau, Quebec / January 9, 2015 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) (US OTC: SXOOF) today announces its intention to terminate all efforts to acquire and develop projects in Zambia. The company had previously signed an agreement in February 2014 in order to acquire two sizeable Copper-Cobalt projects in Zambia. The difficulty to finalize a proper due diligence had forced the company to put these negotiations on hold in the summer of 2014. The Company had mentioned that it was entertaining the acquisition of another project in Zambia at that point without giving more details. The management of St-Georges has taken the strategic decision to focus all its attention to the new Nickel discovery at its wholly owned Julie Nickel Project.

FINANCIAL SITUATION & OTHER CORPORATE MATTERS

As of December 31, 2014 the Company had 34,504,463 shares issued and outstanding. It also had 1,182,692 outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $0.27 per share and, $230,000 of Convertible Debentures carrying an annual 6% cumulative interest rate expiring July 2, 2023. These Debentures are convertible at any time at a price related to average market prices subject to a minimum conversion rate of $0.10 per share. There are currently no outstanding warrants.

Internal, unaudited financial statements of the Company to December 31, 2014 show Net Assets of $1,512,249. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in these unaudited financial statements at December 31, 2014 amounted to $557,340 and included an amount of $285,888 payable to Directors, Officers and Executives of St-Georges and $191,208.27 that are optional liabilities that the Company is currently reviewing.

JULIE NICKEL DISCOVERY

Results from Agat Laboratories are expected in the coming days from the latest surface campaign conducted on the Julie Nickel Project. Last week St-Georges published the initial results from the latest campaign. The table below constitute a recapitulation of these results already published in a press release on December 29, 2014:

Results Summary

A surface mineralized zone of 70 by 56 meters referred to as “T1” has been identified. All initial results below come from this zone. The ultramafic intrusive suite which hosts the new discovery can be traced in the geophysic data obtain by St-Georges in 2011 for approximately 13 kilometres on a WSW to NE trend. At this point it appears that the mineralized zone remains open in all directions.

The table below outline the initial and partial results from a 17.26 meters channel cut executed along the identified conductor on the T1 zone at a 45º angle:

From To Interval* Nickel Copper Cobalt
(Metres) (Metres) (Metres) (%) (%) (%)
T1 Channel 1 0 8.49 8.49 1.71 0.271 0.0347
including 0 3.62 3.62 2.07 0.31 0.04

* Reported channel cuts sections are not true widths. An apparent surface width of 15 meters can be calculated but at this time there is insufficient data with respect to the shape of the mineralization to calculate true orientations in space.

The starting point of the channel cut was located at N49° 57.463′ W69° 27.045′

Results from a man-held portable drill hole are also available. The hole was drilled from surface to the shallow depth of 0.52 meters at a 90º angle and was assay as a whole. The drill hole was located at N49° 57.467′ W69° 27.046′.

From To Interval* Nickel Copper Cobalt
(Metres) (Metres) (Metres) (%) (%) (%)
T1 Hole #1 0 0.52 0.52 1.71 0.271 0.0347

Finally, results from a representative 10.2 kg sample cut from a 81.42 kg blast sample block taken 18.6 meters away to the S-E of the T1-Channel-1’s starting location was also sent to the labs. The location of that sample was at N49° 57.454′ W69° 27.045′

Weight Nickel Copper Cobalt
(Kilogram) (%) (%) (%)
Blast Sample 8749 10.2 1.68 0.301 0.0345

Additional Channel and portable drill core samples are expected to be received from Agat Laboratories by the end of January and will be released as they are available.

St. Georges New Nickel Discovery on the Julie Project in Quebec; Best Results Includes 2.07% Nickel Over 3.62 Meters

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:43 AM on Monday, December 29th, 2014

Baie-Comeau, Quebec / December 29, 2014 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (OTCQX: SXOOF) (CNSX: SX) (BSE: 85G1) today confirmed the presence of a significant zone of Nickel-Copper-Cobalt mineralization on its wholly-owned Julie project located on the Quebec North Shore. Initial results received from Agat Laboratories from the latest surface exploration campaign yielded some noticeable nickel grade intervals from channel samples, drill core and blast samples.

A surface area measuring 70 metres by 56 metres referred to as “T1 Zone” is the focus of this news release. All of the initial results provided in the table below are from this zone. The ultramafic intrusive suite that hosts the new discovery can be traced along a magnetic conductor identified in 2011, which runs for approximately 13 kilometres in a WSW to ENE trend. At this point, it appears that the mineralized zone remains open in all directions.

The table below outlines the initial and partial results from a 17.26 metre channel that was taken along the identified magnetic conductor on the T1 Zone at a 45? angle:

Garibaldi Closes $1,250,000 Financing

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:09 PM on Monday, December 22nd, 2014

VANCOUVER, Dec. 22, 2014  – In preparation for a dynamic exploration season in British Columbia in 2015, Garibaldi Resources Corp. (TSX.V: GGI) (the “Company” or “Garibaldi”) is pleased to announce that it has closed a non-brokered private placement of 5,953,310 flow-through units at $0.21 cents per unit (see details below) for gross total proceeds of $1,250,000 CDN. This strategic financing will be used to further advance the Company’s B.C. properties including the Canadian flagship Grizzly Project in the Sheslay district.

“Exceptional results from Garibaldi’s Rodadero discovery in Sonora State and our La Patilla Gold Project in Sinaloa State already ensures that our shareholders have a great deal of exciting news to look forward to, near-term and throughout 2015, from ongoing exploration in Mexico which is accelerating,” stated President and CEO Steve Regoci. “Additionally, Garibaldi management believes strongly in the significant leveraged opportunity offered shareholders by the Company’s portfolio of B.C. properties led by the Grizzly. We have the means to unlock the value in these excellent prospects during 2015 which will build on our success in Mexico.”

Garibaldi B.C. Projects Overview

Grizzly Project

A comprehensive NI-43-101 Technical Report on the Grizzly Cu-Au Porphyry Project is currently being completed by C.J. Greig & Associates Ltd. following successful 2014 programs that have further refined preliminary drill targets along with identifying new ones over a northwest-trending mineralized corridor that stretches for 30 km. The Company has been granted a multi-year permit for drilling at the Grizzly from the B.C. Ministry of Mines.

Garibaldi has expanded the Grizzly to 272 sq. km through staking to extend the western border of the Grizzly West porphyry by 1 km. Significant drilling discoveries 10 km apart at the Star and Hat porphyries contiguous to Grizzly are strong evidence as to the scale of mineralization in this district. A new drill program recently commenced at the Hat Property as reported by Doubleview Capital Corp. Dec. 12, 2014.

King

Exploration targets at the 1700 hectare King Property, approximately 10 km north-northeast of the past producing high-grade Snip Mine in the Eskay Creek region, range from high-grade gold to high-grade silver-lead-zinc. Recent power and infrastructure projects have significantly improved access to the claim area. Four mineralized zones are considered highly prospective for potential new discoveries on this under-explored property.

Red Lion

The Red Lion Property, 60 km south of AuRico Gold’s Kemess mine in north central B.C., is contiguous to the northern border of Kiska Metals’ Kliyul Cu-Au Porphyry Project under option to Teck Resources Ltd. Kliyul has yielded promising results from drilling including 76 m of 1.16 g/t Au and 0.33% Cu, and 218 m of 0.52 g/t Au and 0.23% Cu.

Garibaldi’s initial land position at Red Lion, characterized by extremely strong Cu-Au stream sediment geochemistry in both RGS and follow-up proprietary surveys, was increased recently to a total of 45 sq. km with additional staking covering a broad, high-tenor Cu-Au soil geochemical anomaly.

Access and infrastructure at Red Lion are excellent with the power line to the Kemess South mine only 3 km away.

MSM

The MSM prospect, comprising 58 sq. km, is located approximately 50 km northeast of Imperial Metals’ Red Chris mine and is underlain by similar Triassic and Jurassic volcanic and plutonic rocks. At least eight Cu-Ag-Au showings have been documented on the property. During this year, Garibaldi compiled all previous exploration data, interpreted satellite imagery lineaments, conducted an airborne magnetic survey and collected stream sediment geochemical samples in preparation for more detailed ground work that will help identify potential drill targets.

Tora Tora

Garibaldi’s Tora Tora Property near Princeton, 25 km north of the producing Copper Mountain mine, is largely overburden covered but features a prominent circular shaped magnetic anomaly which management believes may be the expression of a buried intrusive body. The company is following up on last year’s aeromagnetic survey of this distinct target located 2 km west of Sego Resources’ 2012 discovery hole (DDH-12-21, 100.4 m of 0.95% Cu, 0.55g/t Au and 3.5 g/t Ag).

Black Gold

Garibaldi’s Black Gold claims near Grand Forks, British Columbia, are potentially suitable for extraction of dimension stone quality “black granite”. The Company continues to examine ways to unlock the value of this legacy asset.

Private Placement Details

The flow-through private placement consists of units of the Company’s securities at a price of $0.21 per unit. Each unit contains one flow-through share in the capital of the Company and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant with each full warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.30 for a period of 18 months. Secutor Capital Management Corporation acted as exclusive finder in connection with this non-brokered private placement and was paid a cash commission of $87,500 CDN. The units from this private placement are subject to a hold period and may not be traded until April 23, 2015. The proceeds from the private placement will be used for exploration of the Company’s B.C. properties.

Garibaldi drill tests new high-grade area north of Silver Eagle discovery hole

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:32 PM on Wednesday, November 26th, 2014

VANCOUVER, Nov. 26, 2014 – Garibaldi Resources Corp. (TSX.V: GGI) (the “Company” or “Garibaldi”) is pleased to report that high-grade silver mineralization has been confirmed through assays from channel sampling 150 meters north of Silver Eagle discovery hole SE-14-01 at the Rodadero North Project in central Sonora State, Mexico. This area will be drill-tested beginning later this week in an attempt to expand the Silver Eagle system in a northerly direction.

All drill holes completed to date at Silver Eagle, with the exception of SE-14-05, have been to the south of SE-14-01 where mineralization remains open and has been traced for an additional 3 km south beyond the Reales target in sampling of surface outcrops and small underground workings. The Company eagerly anticipates receiving the next batch of assay results (drill holes SE-14-07 through SE-14-12) during the first half of December.

Silver Eagle is the westernmost of 11 target areas defined over more than 45 sq. km at Rodadero North where mineralization transitions from primarily high-grade silver at Silver Eagle, discovered through sampling and shallow drilling, to high-grade gold, silver and base metals trending eastward. A drill plan map for the Tarichi target, 2.5 km southeast of Silver Eagle, is now available at GaribaldiResources.com.

Channel Samples Return Up To 881 g/t Ag

Two immediate drill holes will test for continuity of mineralization to depths of less than 100 meters at the new surface discovery north of SE-14-01. All five channel samples from a shallow pit returned significant silver grades – 881 g/t (28.3 oz/tonne), 771 g/t, 763 g/t, 452 g/t and 87 g/t. Widths ranged from 1.4 to 1.9 meters. The average grade was 604 g/t Ag over an average width of 1.6 meters.

Steve Regoci, President and CEO of Garibaldi, commented: “Given results generated to date by drilling, sampling and our hyperspectral technology, and the fact that this project is situated in the heart of a prolific mining region, we’re extremely excited with what we see at Rodadero as the emergence of a new mineral camp in central Sonora State.”

By the nature of the biases of sampling, the above results are not necessarily representative of mineralization at Rodadero North in general or, specifically, within the zones, structures or geological features that were sampled.

Mineralization at Silver Eagle is hosted in silicified conglomerate and overlying andesitic volcanic rocks along a north-northwest trending structural zone. Mineralization also appears to be associated with the stratigraphy of the conglomerate.

Quality Assurance & Control

Garibaldi maintains strict QA-QC protocols for all aspects of its exploration programs that include the systematic insertion of blanks and standards into each sample batch. Acme Labs (now part of the Bureau Veritis group that includes BSI Inspectorate) has performed assay analyses on Rodadero North drill core and some of the rock samples, while ALS Global (formerly ALS Chemex) has also performed some analyses on rock samples. All samples reported in this release were assayed using certified and industry standard assay techniques for gold, and multi-element packages for other elements and for over-limits. Au was analyzed by 30 or 50 gram fire assay with an atomic absorption finish, and other elements were analyzed by multi-element ICP.

Qualified Person

Dr. Craig Gibson, Certified Professional Geologist and a director of Garibaldi, is a non-arms-length Qualified Person for the Company’s Mexico projects and the direct manager of the technical programs operated under contract by Prospeccion Y Desorrollo Minera del Norte (ProDeMin).
