2. Where did they actually do the diamand saw core splitting, and are
they finished up north and all data sent to AZ yet ?



NR 133 – Liberty Star Airlifting Diamond Core Drill to Copper/Gold/Moly Big Chunk Camp, Alaska

After all data collection, the core is cut in half (split) using a diamond saw. Half of each 10 foot interval will be bagged and secured in locked storage controlled by Jay Crawford. The samples will be shipped by helicopter, and then by Federal Express to the MEG sample prep lab near Reno, Nev. As required by regulation, a chain of custody is recorded at every stop; this is to prevent tampering with the drill core so it cannot be adulterated ("salted") with any foreign material either intentionally or accidently. After sample preparation, including addition of Quality Assurance Quality Control (QA/QC) samples, assay pulps of about 200 grams from each sample interval will be air shipped to ALS Certified assay labs in Vancouver, B.C. Canada. After assay ALS will ship assays by e-mail to the Tucson office where it will be combined with the visual core log and all the other collected data. These data logs will then be analyzed by our geologic team and conclusions made. All this takes time but news releases will be made after drill core is evaluated.



NR 136 – Diamond Core Drill Rig to be Airlifted to LBSR’s Big Chunk Super Project: Immediate Drilling to Begin

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."

It is my understanding, after many trs investing in metals co., that half of the core must/should be secured on site. ( good practices to assure investor confidence)
