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.

Exploration Update on Golden Hope’s Poly-metallic Massive Sulphide Champagne Deposit in the Bellechasse Belt of Southeastern Quebec

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:00 AM on Wednesday, February 18th, 2015

Montreal, Quebec / February 18, 2015 / Golden Hope Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE: GNH) – Golden Hope Mines Limited (‘Golden Hope”, or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Institut national de la Recherche Scientifique (“INRS”) led by Marc Richer-Lafleche has submitted its report of a high resolution Audiomagnetotelluric Survey and a Petrophysical Study on the poly-metallic massive sulphide Champagne Deposit in the region of Bellechasse, Quebec. This survey and study followed a Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic Survey (“VTEM”) that was conducted by Geotech for Golden Hope in late 2011, and confirmed the presence of a number of strong electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies within the Beauceville Formation (Magog Group) and more specifically over the known areas containing massive sulphide deposits. The Champagne sulphide mineralization appears to be a hybrid structure, possessing characteristics of both Sedimentary Exhalative Deposits (‘SEDEX”) and Volcanic-Hosted Massive Sulfide Deposits (“VMS”).

The Audiomagnetotelluric Survey was conducted with readings 25 to 50 metres (“m”) apart, and had a deep vertical penetration of 1500m. The results from the survey over the known Champagne Deposit mineralization indicate a significant sub-vertical conductor beneath the massive sulphides confirmed through previous drilling. The conductor (V) begins at approximately 240m of vertical depth and extends to approximately 650m depth with a maximum implied thickness of approximately 60m. (Figure 2.)

A second prospective conductor (IV) was indentified approximately 500m south of the Champagne Deposit, beginning at approximately 225m vertical depth and extending to an approximate depth of 880m, with a maximum implied thickness of 160m. This second conductor has been interpreted to be associated with the first conductor indicating the repetition of the sulphide target horizon through the presence of a structural fold (syncline).

As a result of this important and encouraging new interpretation of what might potentially be large tonnage poly-metallic sulphide deposits within the Champagne Belt of Southeastern Quebec. Golden Hope will develop an exploration plan to further evaluate the potential of these large geophysical targets associated with the known massive sulphide mineralization. The Company will also expand the geophysical program to determine if similar targets occur elsewhere within the Champagne Belt.

The Company’s contiguous mineral claims include approximately 10 linear kilometres of the stratigraphic horizon near the base of the Beauceville Formation that hosts the Champagne occurrence. The Champagne occurrence lies on the north limb of a synclinal fold. An additional 20 linear kilometres of the horizon is exposed within the company’s claims that cover the south limb of the syncline. The Champagne Deposit is a partially explored base and precious metal occurrence that lies entirely within the Company’s 100% owned Bellechasse Belt, on claims 3.5 kilometres north of the Company’s Bellechasse-Timmins Gold Deposit. Previous work on Champagne outlined a historic estimate of 250,000 tonnes of massive and disseminated sulphides, averaging 2.4 g/t gold, 19.7 g/t silver, 2.7% zinc, 0.40% copper and 0.45% lead (Paradis, Bosse and Gauthier, 1995 Report from the Centre Geoscientifique de Quebec, referencing Bergman (1954)). A Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource, nor is Golden Hope treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource.

Clinical trials high on list for medical marijuana community

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:42 PM on Tuesday, February 17th, 2015

The medical marijuana movement is asking the scientific community to make examining the therapeutic potential of cannabis in much more depth a priority, cannabis experts from North America and the UK declared on 14 February at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting in California. But the drug’s controlled status is continuing to slow efforts to investigate the myriad compounds in the plant.

The panellists said the evidence is clear that cannabinoids can treat different types of pain effectively. In addition, they cited some evidence that cannabinoids help with neurological conditions like epilepsy. There is also very early clinical trial data suggesting that the molecule cannabidiol (CBD) has an antipsychotic effect and some evidence that it could help with anxiety disorders.

Although cannabis use is associated with things like short-term memory loss and learning problems, the experts presented data showing that once use is stopped those effects disappear within a few days. They also said there is no proof of any long-term neurocognitive effects of chronic marijuana use on the adult brain, although there is some cause for concern about heavy use by adolescents.

The question of whether the compounds have untoward effects remains unclear due to insufficient research. The field is stalled because large clinical trials require the deep pockets of the pharmaceutical sector, but a major barrier is the lack of intellectual property around some of these compounds. ‘They are old drugs, they are hard to lock in patents, and that makes it difficult for someone to invest significantly into these kinds of research studies that might not have the long-term payback,’ explained Mark Ware, who runs the pain research unit at McGill University, Canada.

However, possession of cannabis is still illegal in most US states making it a difficult drug to work with in the clinic. Igor Grant, a neuropsychiatrist who directs the cannabis research centre at the University of California, San Diego, US, has conducted seven clinical trials that involved smoked or inhaled cannabis and all required that he obtain regulatory approvals from three separate agencies before he could even acquire the cannabis for the studies.

Research marijuana for the US is grown by University of Mississippi under government licence. Once investigators clear all of the approvals, they can request the study drug from the NIH in the form of cigarettes containing different concentrations of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC – the main psychoactive constituent of cannabis.

Cannabis in Canada

Cannabis research is far easier to pursue in Canada where there is a regulated government programme. The country controls cannabis differently to other drugs, arguing that it fits neither under natural health product regulations that govern the use of herbal medicines, nor under the pharmaceutical drug regulations.

Some of the Canadian companies that grow cannabis under licence are now funding clinical trials to try and develop a drug, according to Ware. ‘The money is out there, but the trick is to get these kinds of pilot studies – proof-of-concept studies – done that encourage people to do larger-scale trials,’ he said.

The experts agreed that more information is needed about therapeutic use of cannabis. To help fill this gap, the provincial ethics committee in Quebec recently directed that all patients cleared to use cannabis for medical reasons must agree to be part on an ongoing study. Ware has been tapped to help set up a Quebec-wide registry that will allow these patients to be tracked anonymously for adverse events, as well as for things like pain, spasticity, appetite level and mood. The registry is expected to go live by the end of March.

In the US, there has been much media and public interest in a strain of medical marijuana first developed to treat a child suffering from repeated seizures, dubbed Charlotte’s Web, which is high in CBD but does not contain any psychoactive compounds. But Ware is troubled by the phenomenon of parents and patients seeking out CBD therapeutics. ‘We don’t know where the cannabidiol is coming from; there is a tremendous kind of mythology about the stuff coming from eastern Europe or China,’ he said. Hemp farmers in Canada are being approached to produce CBD and are charging huge amounts of money, he added.

The development of such medicinal products is complicated by the fact that cannabis contains over 100 different ingredients that may be bioactive. This flies in the face of the model followed by regulatory agencies like the US Food and Drug Administration that are set up to deal with single molecules rather than complex mixtures.

Enertopia to Showcase V-LOVE(tm) for Women at Vancouver Wellness Show

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:13 AM on Wednesday, February 11th, 2015

VANCOUVER, BC / February 11, 2015 / Enertopia Corporation (ENRT-OTCBB) (TOP-CSE) (the “Company” or “Enertopia”) is pleased to announce the launch of V-LoveTM for Women will be showcased at the upcoming Vancouver Wellness Show that will be held from Feb 13-15 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. This annual show offers the estimated 30,000 attendees various opportunities to learn and improve their quality of lives in such areas as good health, nutrition, physical and emotional wellbeing, women and wellness presentations.

Enertopia will be showcasing V-LoveTM. by handing out samples of V-LoveTM. and we invite all show attendees to drop by our booth #909 for further information.

Leading Women’s Health Expert Maureen McGrath will share the stage with media personality Fiona Forbes and author Lorna Vanderhaaghe to discuss Health and Personal Growth at 3:15 PM on Saturday Feb 14 and on Sunday Feb 15 at Noon, Maureen will be giving a presentation on “The Desire for Desire” in women sponsored by Enertopia.

Enertopia is also pleased to announce it has entered into an initial four month radio contract to create daily public awareness about Women’s sexual health by sponsoring the popular Sunday Night Sex Show on CKNW radio, with Maureen McGrath to raise awareness and continue to educate the public with her knowledge base and expertise in Women’s sexual health.

Maureen is a clinician in addition to being well known and sought after guest lecturer in the field of sexual health for men and women. She has a special interest in women’s sexual desire. This aligns with our vision for natural based healing options. Maureen’s passion over the past several years of learning and responding to her patient’s needs has led to natural based healing as a clear option for better health in many instances. She is in private practice both in North Vancouver and at Cross Roads Clinic in Vancouver where she see patients with sexual health issues.

“I am excited at the prospect of raising awareness and providing options about such an important subject as female and male sexuality, particularly the important issue of low sexual desire. Providing evidence-based strategies to patients is the cornerstone to getting people to feel comfortable discussing a subject that until now has been deemed taboo by many. Getting couples to live their life, their way is what this is all about,” said Maureen McGrath, RN and Sexpert.

400% Growth Predicted For China’s Lithium-Ion Automotive Battery Market By 2017

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:18 PM on Monday, February 9th, 2015

Market research firm CCM predicts that the lithium-ion battery market is beginning to enter its golden era in China following high growth of electric car sales.According to CCM data, in 2014 manufacturers in China produced 78,499 EVs (including tiny vehicles), which is 250% more than in 2013. In 2015, sales will grow even faster to 250,000!In such a case, the lithium-ion battery industry should jump by 400% by 2017.

CCM expects it to grow from 4 billion Ah a year to 20 billion Ah a year. Times 3.5 V (cell voltages differences among different chemistries), that would be 70 GWh (twice the size of the Tesla Gigafactory and two times more than world production in 2013).

“This rapid growth is sparking similar growth in demand for power lithium-ion batteries, Chinese EV brand BYD has already encountered difficulties meeting orders due to a shortage of batteries, according to CCM.

Samsung, LG, and Foxconn all invested more than RMB 2 billion (US$325 million) in China’s lithium-ion battery market in 2014, and CCM expects to see similar levels of investment in 2015.

Most domestic Chinese battery manufacturers currently lag behind their competitors in Japan, South Korea, and the US in terms of their ability to manufacture high performing EV batteries, though this gap is narrowing gradually, so there is a large opportunity for international players to gain market share in China’s power lithium-ion battery market in the coming years, the firm suggests.”

Enertopia Announces V-LOVE ™ For Women

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:07 AM on Monday, February 9th, 2015

VANCOUVER, BC / Enertopia Corporation (ENRT-OTCBB) (TOP-CSE) (the “Company” or “Enertopia”) is pleased to announce the launch of a new product line for women’s sexual health. This is the Company’s first step in its new initiatives and strategic plan in alternative health and wellness sector. V-LoveTM for Women is a desire gel and will be available for sale in Canada soon and will be available for sale in the USA later this year. The Company owns 100% of the product and how it will roll out the product to market.

The Company has entered into a partnership with Maureen McGrath, host of the popular Sunday Night Sex Show on CKNW radio, to raise awareness and continue to educate the public with her knowledge base and expertise in Men’s and Women’s sexual health. Maureen McGrath is a registered nurse in the field of sexual health for men and women.

Enertopia will be announcing additional information on its product lines and business plan in the immediate future as it launches its products in a growing sexual health market with industry sales that have surpassed $20 billion dollars and specifically over $1.2 billion dollars last year in the lubrication market alone. The first product launch V-Love will be in Canada and available in the United States in the coming months. The second product launch will be the V-LoveTM infused with CBD from industrial hemp oil made and only available in the USA. Our goal is to begin producing cash flows from these initiatives as soon as possible; focused on the immediate opportunities in the CBD-sectors derived from already-legal hemp. CBDs (Cannabidiols) have been found by many researchers to have antioxidant properties and are able to be infused into a number of products.

The US Federal government, through the US Department of Health and Human Services, owns US Patent #6,630,507, which among other things, claims that

“Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.”

Maureen is a clinician in addition to being well known and sought after guest lecturer in the field of sexual health for men and women. She has a special interest in women’s sexual desire. This aligns with our vision for natural based healing options. Maureen’s passion over the past two decades of learning and responding to her patient’s needs has led to natural based healing as a clear option for better health in many instances. She is in private practice both in North Vancouver and at Cross Roads Clinic in Vancouver where she see patients with sexual health issues.

“I am excited at the prospect of raising awareness and providing options about such an important subject as female and male sexuality. Providing evidence based strategies to patients is the cornerstone to getting people to feel comfortable discussing a subject that until now has been deemed very sensitive by many. Getting couples to live their life, their way is what this is all about,” said Maureen McGrath, RN and Sexpert.

During the Company’s research in the Medical Marijuana field and other parallel industries it has become apparent that proper education is paramount for people to regain their lives. “Everyone has to be their own personal advocate for better health.” Stated President / CEO Robert McAllister

Enertopia Provides Shareholder Update

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:08 PM on Friday, February 6th, 2015

VANCOUVER, BC / Enertopia Corporation (ENRT-OTCBB) (TOP-CSE) (the “Company” or “Enertopia”) is pleased to announce the imminent launch of a brand new business initiative in the alternative health and wellness sector. We expect to be able to provide full details of our exciting product launch prior to market open on Monday, February 9th. However, we would like to provide some initial information on this exciting development, as well as an update on our Burlington, Ontario medical marihuana license application.

We recognize the challenges in the Canadian medical marihuana marijuana sector that have arisen in the past year due to evolving regulations and court challenges to just name a couple. Enertopia was the first public company in Canada to originally announce its intention to participate in the medical marihuana marijuana sector, in November of 2013. We have always tried to create value for our shareholders and those efforts continue.

In a timely and prudent fashion we expect to launch cannabidiol (CBD) – infused products, sourced from industrial hemp, in those jurisdictions where it is legal to do so. Those products are not currently legal under federal law in Canada, but they are legal in all 50 states in the USA. We hope, one day, to be able to grow medical marihuana under license and to be a vertically integrated company also using our knowledge and raw materials to manufacture CBD-infused products.

Next week we will announce our first new product for distribution in Canada. It will not contain any CBD’s. It is within a rapidly growing exciting alternative health and wellness sector that is receiving a great deal of attention. We intend to build this business by establishing our sales force and retail distribution by developing marketing and advertising materials to help us build our brand image.

We hope to introduce that same product, and subsequently a similar product infused with CBD’s, into the US markets later in 2015. These marketing and branding initiatives will help us to build our sales channels for broader product offerings over time. We believe these efforts will help us to build significant shareholder value while we go through the lengthy MMPR licence granting process.

Enertopia wishes to inform all stakeholders that it continues to pursue its Health Canada MMPR licensed producer status by way of its current joint venture partners. Both the Company and our shareholders have realized that the time required to move through the licensing process have been extended due to the two pending court cases, the first of which is to be heard on February 23, 2015.

Enertopia is fully committed to growing the Company and delivering value for future customers, employees and shareholders.

On February 6, 2015, the Enertopia’s Board has appointed Ms. Bal Bhullar as a Director of the Company. She has and continues to be the Chief Financial Officer since October 9, 2009.

The Board has also accepted the resignation from Mr. John Thomas as a Director of Enertopia.

“I am happy to have MS. Bhullar join our board of Directors as she has been a dedicated officer to Enertopia since becoming CFO in October, 2009. I wish John all the best in his future business endeavours and thank him for his past efforts. As we move forward in 2015 I look forward to building out the Enertopia board for future growth in providing healing and wellness opportunities to a growing percentage of the population.” Stated President Robert McAllister
