Business Wire
Mineral explorer Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp.
(“Liberty Star” or the “Company”)(LBSR: OTCQB) is pleased to
announce that a proposal for a helicopter-borne ZTEM (geophysical)
survey has been received from Geotech LTD (“Geotech”) of Ontario,
Canada, covering the Hay Mountain and other lands comprising the
Company’s Tombstone Super Project (”TSP”) in southeastern Arizona.
The survey will also cover other land within and around the
Tombstone caldera.
Geotech proposes 1,440 flight lines investigating the
geophysical response in a single block measuring survey area,
results in approximately 2,430 line kilometers at 200 meter line
spacing. According to Geotech, “The proprietary receiver design
using the advantages of modern digital electronics and signal
processing delivers exceptionally low-noise levels.” The result is
unparalleled depth of investigation in precision electromagnetic
measurements with a geophysical measurement every 8.5 meters along
the lines and a penetration of approximately 6,000 feet below the
land surface. Liberty Star’s target elements are gold, copper,
moly, silver, rare earth metals, lead and zinc, along with other
byproduct metals occurring in a porphyry gold copper environment,
as indicated by Liberty Star’s detailed geochemical survey results
(News Release 127, June 29, 2012).

About the Tombstone Super Project (TSP)
The TSP initially consisted of 33 unpatented federal lode mining
claims over a projected covered porphyry copper mineral center in
Cochise County, Arizona. In September 2011, more claims
covering approximately eight square miles were added after
Chief Geologist James Briscoe discovered a large multimodal anomaly
over a large covered porphyry copper mineral center within the
larger TSP area. In 2011, SRK Consulting prepared three NI 43-101
compliant technical reports over Liberty Star’s holdings. Each
report recommended further exploration on the area. An extensive
geochemical survey for 64 elements revealed the presence of
porphyry copper, gold, silver, lead, moly, zinc and several rare
earth elements. Mining throughout the region began in the late 19th
century and led to the rise of legendary boomtown Tombstone,
Arizona. Many of the old mining sites, and what is now Liberty
Star’s unmined land, reside within or adjacent to a large volcanic
and intrusive geologic feature known as a caldera. These caldera
structures are present throughout southern Arizona, making the
region one of the richest porphyry copper areas on the planet.
