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.

Permitting

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.

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.

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:

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
