Liberty
Star Reports Significant 2024 Exploration Advancements at Hay Mountain & Red Rock Gold Projects; 2025 Focused on Expansion and Development
TUCSON,
AZ–(Feb 12 2025)–Liberty Star Minerals (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB:
LBSR) reflects on 2024 as a breakthrough year for exploration and positive discovery at its
wholly owned Red Rock Canyon Gold Project (RRC) within its Hay Mountain Project (HMP) in southeast Arizona. The Company
is actively pursuing a joint venture partnership to advance both projects, which lie within a regionally significant porphyry copper-gold-moly
system extending from central Arizona into northern Mexico. With historic first-time drilling at Hay Mountain and bonanza-grade gold
discoveries at Red Rock Canyon, Liberty Star has established a strong foundation for continued exploration and development in 2025.
Hay
Mountain Project: First-Ever Drilling Confirms Porphyry System Potential
Located
within the historic Tombstone Mining District of Cochise County, Arizona, the Hay Mountain Project has been the focus of Liberty Star’s
founder and native Arizonan James A. Briscoe (P Geo.) since the 1970s. Briscoe’s early studies led to the discovery of the Tombstone
Caldera, an expansive geological structure that hosts a porphyry copper mineral center. Over the past two decades, geochemical sampling,
airborne geophysical surveys, and structural analysis have refined drill targets within the property.
In
December 2023, Liberty Star commenced its first-ever diamond core drill program at Hay Mountain. By February 2024, two deep drill holes
were completed, targeting the interpreted porphyry system, and Liberty Star Chief Geologist James Bryce reported:
| ● | Hole
1 reached 1,354 feet and intercepted the Colina Formation, with elevated copper, lead, and
zinc values and increasing potassic alteration, a hallmark of porphyry mineralization. |
| ● | Hole
2, drilled incrementally to nearly 3,000 feet, encountered the Horquilla Formation at 420
feet, which hosts multiple copper deposits in the region. Downhole analysis revealed increasing
alteration, thermal indicators, intrusive sills, and the presence of sulfides, all of which
support the presence of a large-scale porphyry system. |
The
initial drill program confirmed key geological indicators, validating Hay Mountain’s potential as a porphyry copper-gold deposit.
These results offered enough evidence to justify further deep drilling in 2025, focusing on Target 1 and additional high-priority areas
within the project.
Red
Rock Canyon Gold Project: High-Grade Gold with Bulk Tonnage Potential
Liberty
Star’s wholly owned Red Rock Gold Project is situated immediately north of drill Target 1 within the larger Hay Mountain
Project. The approximately 1,000-acre area has undergone limited exploratory drilling between 1999 and 2004, indicating near-surface
gold mineralization. Recognizing the potential for a high-grade epithermal gold system, Liberty Star initiated systemic surface exploration
in 2020, incorporating geochemical surveys, biogeochemical sampling, and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis to refine targets.
2024
Channel Sampling Results: Bonanza-Grade Gold Confirmed
In
March 2024, Liberty Star’s Field Operations Manager Jay Crawford and his team began an extensive channel sampling program, systematically
testing gold-bearing jasperoid lenses throughout the RRC property.
In
July 2024, the Company reported multiple bonanza-grade assays, confirming the presence of a high-grade gold system:
| ● | Multiple
assays exceeding one ounce per ton |
| ● | Bonanza
grades of 107.5 g/t and 60.0 g/t gold |
| ● | A
single high-grade vein structure extending approximately 400 feet, intermittently covered
by overburden |
Follow-up
sampling in September and December 2024 continued to support this high-grade system, reinforcing evidence of an expansive epithermal
gold deposit tied to the Hay Mountain porphyry center. These results will be surveyed in and plotted on maps to further refine exploration
plans.
Chief
Geologist Jim Bryce stated, “The grades we’ve seen indicate a broad, high-grade epithermal gold system at RRC, likely related
to the suspected porphyry system at Hay Mountain. With multiple assays over an ounce per ton, we are in an enviable position—high-grade
potential combined with significant bulk tonnage possibilities.”
Next
Steps at Red Rock Canyon
Liberty
Star’s 2025 exploration plan will focus on:
| 1. | Induced
Polarization (IP) test grid which will accompany the expanded channel sampling and trenching
to define the vein’s surface dimensions |
| 2. | Drilling
to test depth continuity and assess the bulk tonnage potential surrounding the high-grade
structures |
| | | |
| 3. | Integrating
geological data to refine targets for future resource estimation |
2025:
Exploration Strategy for Near-Surface Gold and Joint Venture Development at Red Rock Canyon
With
the price of gold rising from $2,037 (Jan 2024) to $2,809 (Jan 2025)—and analysts projecting $3,200+ per ounce in 2025—Liberty
Star is strategically positioned to capitalize on market conditions.
In
the near term, Induced Polarization geophysics along with the channel sampling results, remains the most cost-effective method for refining
targets at RRC, with drilling to follow. Additionally, a suitable financial arrangement through a joint venture will accelerate development
across both the Red Rock Canyon gold property and the larger copper-focused Hay Mountain Project through a value accretion model.
Director
Gerardo King highlighted Liberty Star’s plans to bring in a new joint venture partner this year in a recent interview.
King added, “Developing a large-scale copper-gold porphyry system is a long-term endeavor. At the same time, our gold asset at
Red Rock Canyon provides a much more immediate opportunity, offering a strategic balance to our portfolio. We aim to bring in a joint
venture partner to advance both projects in parallel.”
King
and Liberty Star Board Chair Pete O’Heeron are currently working with potential partners within the mining industry to secure funding
for the Company’s next phase of development.

About
Liberty Star
Liberty
Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (LBSR: OTCQB), d/b/a Liberty Star Minerals, is an Arizona-based mineral exploration company engaged in
the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in Arizona and the southwest USA. Currently the company controls
properties that are located over what management considers some of North America’s richest mineralized regions for copper, gold,
silver, molybdenum (moly), and associated metals. The Company’s premiere property is the Hay Mountain property (exploration stage)
for porphyry copper, gold, moly and other commercially important minerals. Specific targets have been selected to explore for near-surface
and deep-seated ore bodies, of which there are numerous analogs nearby. Contiguous with the primary Hay Mountain porphyry exploration
target, and part of the overall Hay Mountain property, is an increasingly attractive area of exploration stage gold mineralization denominated
Red Rock Canyon. Red Rock Canyon exhibits what we believe are extensive, promising hydrothermal associated gold-bearing structures that
are documented in historical public and Company records. View numerous geoscientific reports on our website. The Hay Mountain
& Red Rock Canyon properties are in Cochise County (southeast) Arizona, USA.
