Liberty Star Receives Final Draft ZTEM Report *Client*

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:40 PM on Wednesday, December 11th, 2013

Lsumlogo_with_slogan2_20130730

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”)(OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to announce that as of noon Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2013, it has received the final draft ZTEM report from Geotech Ltd. ZTEM electromagnetic measurement data has been carefully analyzed by Geotech’s Chief Geophysicist Jean Legault, P. Geo, P. Eng. Among the report’s findings:

1. There are as many as 10 meaningful targets within the Hay Mountain Project area.

2. Hay Mountain contains a major anomaly centered on the geochem anomaly reported by Liberty Star (NR 127).

From the “Executive Summary” Summary Interpretation Report on a Helicopter-Borne
Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) and Aeromagnetic Geophysical Survey:
The Hay Mountain Project Tombstone Mining District, Cochise County, Arizona
For: Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp.:

“The Hay Mountain Property is mainly underlain by a thick sequence of Paleozoic quartzite, limestone and siltstones, but potentially hosts buried porphyry copper deposits at structural intersections and under basin-fill formations. There is additional potential for polymetallic carbonate-hosted replacement deposits (CRD), as well as shallow chalcocite blanket porphyry type deposits and also skarn type porphyry copper deposits. Previous soil and vegetation geochemical surveys have identified a coincident Au-Pb-Cu anomaly and larger Mo-halo in the center of the property. The objective of the ZTEM surveys is to identify favourable magnetic and resistivity signatures related to potentially more deeply buried porphyry copper, CRD/skarn and chalcocite replacement deposits at Hay Mountain. The Magnetic surveys have determined that Hay Mountain hosts a large dominant magnetic high that lies buried below the Paleozoic sediments is centered over the Liberty Star geochemical anomaly and remains open to the south…As many as ten (10) magnetic anomalies have been defined.”

Company CEO/Chief Geologist Jim Briscoe’s summary: “Geotech’s Chief Geophysicist Jean Legault and I met for more than 12 hours in three sessions of four hours each over the last 10 days through GoToMeeting, me in Tucson and Legault in Canada, so we could look at the same images at the same time to interpret the ZTEM data. With my geological expertise in the Tombstone area and his geophysical expertise on copper anomalies all over the world, we came to the same conclusion that there is substantial evidence that the Hay Mountain area needs to be drilled. While I had five targets in mind, the ZTEM report indicated 10. I am pleased that the evidence continues to be mutually reinforcing that we may be looking at a major porphyry copper structure. The next step is drilling. We have a detailed cost analysis and will plot drill sites according to what we are seeing with the ZTEM. Once funding is secured, we will drill ASAP.”

Lomiko, Graphene Labs and Stony Brook University Project Produces Graphene Supercapacitor Prototype *Sponsor*

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:08 AM on Wednesday, December 4th, 2013

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA and NEW YORK, NEW YORK–(Dec. 4, 2013) – LOMIKO METALS INC. (TSX VENTURE:LMR)(PINKSHEETS:LMRMF)(FRANKFURT:DH8B), (Europe: ISIN: CA54163Q1028, WKN: A0Q9W7,) (the “Company”) and Graphene Laboratories Inc. (“Graphene Labs”) announce they have reached a significant milestone by receiving a prototype graphene supercapacitor and a report from Stony Brook University and New York State’s Center for Advanced Sensor Technology (Sensor CAT). The prototype of the supercapacitor was made using graphene composite material prepared using a proprietary technology developed at Graphene Labs. The measured specific capacitance of the prototype was found to be around 500 Farad per gram of the material. This value is comparable with the best values reported in the literature for a supercapacitor of this type.

The exceptional quality of the Reduced Graphene Oxide (“RGO”) electrodes allows expansion of the operating voltage window up to 4 Volts. This allows the density of the energy stored in the supercapacitor to be increased. The device has shown this significant performance due to the high specific surface area as well as high electrical conductivity of the graphene produced from graphite material from the Quatre Milles Graphite Project in Quebec. The achievement paves the way for future commercialization efforts by the two companies under the goals of their Strategic Alliance Agreement (“SAA”). The next step is to have the results examined by interested companies within the industry.

Lomiko announced May 29, 2013 that the Research Foundation of Stony Brook University (“RF”), on behalf of the Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center (“AERTC”) and the Center for Advanced Sensor Technology (“Sensor CAT”), as well as Graphene Laboratories, Inc. (“Graphene Labs”) had agreed to establish a lasting cooperation aimed at investigating novel energy-based applications of graphene.

On September 17, 2013 Lomiko and Graphene Labs reported that in the first step of the conversion process, natural graphite flakes were oxidized and turned into Graphene Oxide (“GO”) by modified Hummer’s method. As the result, a stable aqueous dispersion with concentration of 40 grams per liter was obtained. Further, the GO was converted into RGO. The specific surface area of the RGO was found to be 500 square metres per gram and its electrical conductivity 4 (four) S per centimeter. These values are similar or exceeding the values for the RGO obtained from other samples of natural graphite taken for comparison and processed by the same procedure.

The properties of graphene, including its high conductivity, mechanical strength, and high specific surface area, make it an ideal electrode material for electrochemical devices used in clean energy applications such as supercapacitors and next-generation Li-ion batteries. Efficient energy storage is the cornerstone for a resilient and reliable energy transmission grid and a key element of the clean energy system.

Under the SAA signed February 12, 2013, Lomiko and Graphene Labs agreed to co-develop a vertically integrated supply chain that includes a secure supply of high-quality graphite, cost-effective and scalable processing, tight quality control and integration of graphene-based products in end-user products. The end goal is to find commercially viable routes to make graphene-based energy storage devices as well as graphene-based nanocomposite materials. In particular, Graphene Labs and Lomiko recently launched a new venture, Graphene 3D Lab Inc. focused on development of the graphene-based composite materials for applications in 3D Printing.

Liberty Star’s Hay Mountain Project Update *Sponsor*

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:50 AM on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013

TUCSON, Ariz.–Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) has an update on its premiere copper-gold-moly-REEs (rare earth elements) Hay Mountain exploration project in Cochise County, southeast Arizona.

“There is a lot of work to be done between now and then but all is technically feasible as confirmed by our environmental consultants with the definition of potential for an ore body suggested by our technical data.”

  1. 2D inversion ZTEM report received and geochem, geology, drill holes map(s) overlays on the ZTEM model are ongoing and nearing completion. As soon as the images have been completed and interpreted they will be submitted to SRK for assessment and inclusion in the “Technical Report on Exploration, Hay Mountain.”
  2. The company has concluded an equity financing for net $215,000 general operating funds (11/26/2013 Form 8K).
  3. Liberty Star expects to start negotiations soon on a mutual non-disclosure non-compete letter with a major global mining company that may lead to talks and perhaps a joint venture regarding the development of the Hay Mountain Project.

Briscoe’s summary of current events and future planning:

“All of our hard work continues to bring the Hay Mountain story to the attention of the international mining community. While financing has been difficult we are able to speak with growing confidence about what we are seeing at Hay Mountain. The Company also has accepted a detailed budget for our plan of exploration from Mr. Gene Rosenlund, geologist and our financial planning consultant. This plan is for the next four years of projected drilling on a 24/7/365 aggressive schedule, assuming availability of funding through a joint venture partner(s) and successful drill results. The development plan envisions an expenditure of $65 million in drilling of 737 thousand feet of core over four years. Year one would be for $6.1 million and would yield 67 thousand feet of diamond core drilling. Costs and timing were compiled by Rosenlund over the last six months and include 5,000 lines of details using Microsoft Project software, Gantt chart projections. The chart data can be updated from ‘projected’ to ‘actual’ and Rosenlund will do updating every day from data supplied electronically from the project site. Community outreach and preliminary permitting will start with the drill program. Post initial drilling, years five, six and seven will be occupied with additional permitting, mine design and construction. At this current stage only extensive drilling will prove a minable mineral body. But if an ore body is proven, we will use innovative contemporary design and construction techniques as presented by myself at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) annual meeting in Denver, Colorado seven years ago. This approach assures that water or other fluid will not ever leave the mine site, nor dust, noise or light (except a minor glow visible from aircraft). Rehabilitation of the surface with native plants will take place concurrent with mining so that when the last ton of mined material is removed the last planting will be done and the overburden storage will look like the surrounding land and be covered with mature native vegetation. During the mine life and thereafter the operation will be essentially invisible.

“There is a lot of work to be done between now and then but all is technically feasible as confirmed by our environmental consultants with the definition of potential for an ore body suggested by our technical data.”

Liberty Star Receives 2D Inversion Database, Interpretation Ongoing for ZTEM Survey, Hay Mountain Southeast Arizona

Liberty Star Receives 2D Inversion Database, Interpretation Ongoing for ZTEM Survey, Hay Mountain Southeast Arizona

November 18, 2013 01:00 PM Eastern Standard Time

TUCSON, Ariz.—Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to announce that it has received the completed 2D inversion for the 1805 kilometer (1121.58 miles) of the ZTEM survey database for the Hay Mountain overflight area. The 2D inversion data will provide the Company’s geological and geophysical team with data to precisely define promising anomalies and plot targets for subsequent drill testing at the Company’s Hay Mountain Project for porphyry copper, gold, moly (molybdenum), lead, zinc, rare earth elements and other metals.

In May 2013 the Company contracted Geotech Ltd., Ontario, Canada (“Geotech”) to conduct airborne ZTEM surveys over the Hay Mountain area. (NR 151) This electromagnetic/magnetic method can gather continuous data from near the surface to as much as 2 kilometers (about 6,000 feet) below the Earth’s surface to identify geophysical features associated with mineral systems and has proven particularly effective for porphyry copper systems. By October 2013 Geotech had delivered a database for the 1D ZTEM geophysical data for all lines. Their analysis of the Hay Mountain database led to the conclusion that there is a profound electromagnetic and magnetic anomaly in the same area as the main geochemical anomaly that has so far defined the Hay Mountain target in southeast Arizona. (NR 165) It was determined that a 2D inversion of the data would provide better resolution and accuracy of the information. Collaborative interpretation of the 2D data by Liberty Star and Geotech will continue over the next two to three weeks.

Company CEO/Chief Geologist Jim Briscoe summarizes the work so far:

“The 2D database will be included in the NI 43-101 format professional report which is vital to our capital raising efforts. SRK is rapidly approaching completion of the remainder of the report. I spent some 4.5 hours collaborating with the Geotech Chief Geophysicist, looking together at each northeast trending profile going down to about 5,500 feet or more. Because of my intimate and detailed knowledge of the stratigraphy (sedimentary beds) and geologic structure (folds, faults, volcanic features, and mineral features which follow fault structures) and penetrations by earlier drilling in a nearby area down to a few hundred feet, I was able to identify what appear to be profound and unexpected folding over the entire area. We have also identified strong northwest and northeast trending structural alignments that are not visible at the surface. These structural features are the structural alignments that appear in almost every porphyry copper in the Arizona–Sonora, Mexico-New Mexico porphyry copper province. Two of these alignments intersect near or over the geochemical and magnetic anomaly of our Hay Mountain target and form a strong resistivity low. Because the magnitude and complexity of these features were completely unexpected, they demand more interpretation and exact spatial correlation with surface geology, geochemistry and surface structural geology. I need to work closely with Geotech’s Chief Geophysicist to be sure our interpretations are as good as we can make them. Thus far the ZTEM data reinforces the conclusion that the Hay Mountain area hosts a porphyry copper style anomaly (magnetic and electromagnetic) superimposed on what appears to be an extremely complex geologic terrain. This is good news as the host rocks of most porphyry coppers are extremely disrupted. The features we see at Hay Mountain can be directly compared and are along the projection of those exposed in the Old Tombstone mining area. After final interpretation we will need to do final targeting of diamond drill holes and begin the phased drilling program to verify and measure what has thus far been evidenced by our detailed studies to date.”

Pacific Potash Initiates Drilling on its 100% Owned Amazonas Basin Potash Property *Sponsor*

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:58 AM on Friday, November 15th, 2013

Vancouver, British Columbia – November 15th, 2013 – Pacific Potash Corporation (TSX-V: PP; OTCQX: PPOTF; FSE: P9P) “Pacific Potash”, “the Company” is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling its Amazonas Basin Potash Property. Mobilization, set-up and the initial pre-collar and casing of the well have been completed and normal drilling operation is currently underway. The depth of the well is currently 456m and it is being cased and cemented to complete the first stage of drilling operation. The second stage of drilling will involve the commencement of coring which comprises rocks from the Andira and Nova Olinda formations. The Nova Olinda Formation is the target horizon for potash exploration in this basin. All significant potash intercepts have been located within Cycle VII of this formation. The Cycle VII potash mineralization occurs in numerous drill holes in the Middle Amazon basin, including those that define the Fazendinha and Arari potash occurrences.

“Drilling to date has been extremely smooth, logistics have been on time and on budget.” Mr. Balbir Johal, Executive Co-Chairman and Director reports, “Being fully funded for several wells, we anticipate many exciting months of exploration in anticipation of a new potash discovery in this world class basin.”

On Monday Nov. 11, 2013 a new potash discovery was announced directly across the river from Pacific Potash’s claims near the city of Itacoatiara by Brazil Potash Corp. Itacoatiara is the site of Pacific Potash’s field office and is located directly across the Amazon River from Pacific Potash’s claims. The first well site is a short 40-minute boat ride from the city. The discovery is another piece of evidence that proves the multiple deposit hypothesis of this basin.

Itacoatiara hosts a Panamax capacity port with a floating unit linked to the shore by a bridged conveyor. The port has five berths for barges and three warehouses. The port has a grain terminal (Hermasa) that made the Export Northwest Corridor feasible where the production of the Northwest regions of Mato Grosso and Southwest of Rondônia is drained. It mainly exports soybeans, soybean oil and bran. Itacoatiara is also accessible by paved Amazonas State highway (AM010) 265 km east from Manaus, the capital city of the state.

This is Pacific Potash’s first well of a planned multi-well drill program on the Amazonas Potash Project aimed at making a new potash discovery. The well is expected to take approximately 60 days from the start of drilling and will be drilled to a true depth of 1400m. The target formation, Nova Olinda Cycle VII is anticipated to occur at a depth of approximately 1300m. Gamma-ray and Caliper downhole geophysics will be run in the well to identify the mineralized zone and to better correlate the stratigraphy in the area.
