TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (LBSR: OTCQB) is pleased to announce Jim Stevens, Nikovena Camp general contractor, has sent word that the diamond core drill rig is being airlifted to the Company’s top priority target on the Big Chunk Super Project, south block and plans to begin exploratory drilling on Wednesday, August 22nd.
The 40,000 pound rig is going to be airlifted from Anchorage to Iliamna by DC-3 aircraft, and then slung by helicopter to Target 1, (of 12) drill site 1, where drilling will commence. The drill site is fully prepared to accommodate immediate drilling. It is expected the drilling crew could drill up to 200 feet per day on the first hole. Should all go as planned, the company can expect core drilling to continue into early September.
Liberty Star CEO and Chief Geologist Jim Briscoe states, “My congratulations to Jim Stevens and his team; much planning and effort went into getting the drill rig to the field. LBSR will log the core as it comes out of the hole, using the tools as described in recent News Release 133 dated August 6, 2012. After logging and sawing the core in half, one half will be sent under NI43-101 protocols for sample preparation and assay.”
