Liberty Star Uranium and Metals Corp (LBSR)

[E-E]

Brikk, I was looking at Silver Bell and it seems to have a West Side to it, Which I didn't know about.

The following company Bronco Creek has claims on the West side just like us with Mitsui. I was also looking at the proximity of Silver Bell, It's proximity is next to Superior, AZ. That is why I am speculating Rio Tinto's Resolution Copper.

It is because given the scope of BCSP, huge, I can see no other than Rio Tinto interest (JV wise with us at Silver Bell East).

Freeport was our neighbor up there in BCSP and we went with Pebble's PLP. This time Freeport is our neighbor also and why can't we go with FCX. Well, my deduced thoughts: The Giant Resolution Copper, is Rio Tinto/BHP. Tell me what you think, my thoughts are deduced, below is the link also.


Silver Bell West, Arizona

Target Commodity: Cu

Partnership Status: Geo Minerals lease/option agreement

Land Position: ~3760 acres ; 188 U.S. unpatented lode mining claims

Property Location: Silver Bell mining district; Silver Bell Mountains, approximately 30 miles northwest of Tucson, Arizona



· Property immediately adjacent to operating Silver Bell Mine (a 75% / 25% Asarco/Mitsui partnership), which has produced more than 84 Mt at an average grade of 0.76 percent copper from skarn, secondary enrichment blankets and porphyry ores since the discovery of mineralization in 1865, and reports reserves greater than 185 Mt at 0.61 % Cu (Long, 1995)



· Multiple stratigraphic units favorable for development of skarn mineralization and porphyry-style copper mineralization are recognized within the BCE land position, where a series of normal faults have down-dropped target rocks and lie beneath younger cover



· BCE is currently targeting two areas for exploration:

(1) Paleozoic carbonate units likely to host copper-rich skarn mineralization that underlie outcrops of copper-mineralized Laramide intrusive rocks and copper-gold mineralized Mesozoic sedimentary rocks in the contact aureole

(2) Trends of porphyry copper and skarn mineralization that project beneath cover rocks



· Ten drill sites in have been permitted, and first-round drilling is scheduled to begin in 2009






Superior West, Arizona

Target Commodity: Cu-Au-Ag

Partnership Status: Freeport-McMoRan Exploration Corporation earn-in joint-venture agreement

Land Position: ~5,195 acres; 256 U.S. unpatented lode mining claims, and 14 additional adjacent claims (280 acres) by option agreement

Property Location: Pioneer mining district; Pinal County, Arizona, approximately three miles west of Superior and 50 miles east of Phoenix



· District is setting of the Magma Vein (a copper-silver-gold vein that produced 25 million tons of ore with >4% Cu), and the giant Resolution Copper deposit (~1.3 billion tones containing 1.5% copper)



· BCE is targeting two styles mineralization at Superior West: (1) the faulted, displaced and concealed western extension of the Magma Vein, and (2), the yet-undiscovered porphyry copper system that served as the source for the Magma Vein



· Reinterpretation of district structure and mineral/metal zoning patterns by BCE geologists predict location of porphyry source beneath younger cover
