Liberty Star has recently staked a large property position adjacent to Northern Dynasty’s massive Pebble gold-copper deposit in Alaska. The company began trading at the end of February, and is so far almost completely unknown among investors.

Liberty Star’s project is at an early stage, but there is strong geological evidence suggesting the potential for additional discoveries on the scale of Pebble. Northern Dynasty recently published an independent resource calculation that established Pebble as the largest gold deposit in North America and also the second largest copper resource. The 2.7 billion tonne Pebble deposit is part of a vast mineralized system described by the U.S. Geological Survey as the largest of its kind in the world, based on the area on which Northern Dynasty and a previous operator have demonstrated the presence of mineralization.

Liberty Star’s management and technical team includes some very experienced geological experts and that team has been working on the project for more than half a year.

James Briscoe, the president of Liberty Star, and John Guilbert, director, are highly regarded experts in the type of geology that hosts Pebble. The Liberty Star team recognized the significance of the fact that Pebble occupies a portion of the contact area around a large batholith (a rock mass that originated from a body of molten rock that cooled beneath the surface). The circular feature defined by the disturbed area around the batholith is often referred to as a caldera. Metal deposits are frequently found around the periphery of calderas in this type of geological setting....

The area is covered by a shallow layer of clay and gravel, making it difficult to see the underlying rocks and get a good understanding of the geology. Briscoe and his team worked for months to pull together all of the available regional geological information, satellite imagery, and regional airborne geophysics as a basis for the staking. Ultimately, they staked 237 square miles to secure a large property position around the periphery of the caldera.

The team is presently conducting an extensive, detailed airborne geophysical survey over the area. That survey will incorporate the known Pebble deposit, which will provide a reference signature to help identify prospective areas on the Liberty Star property.

Results of the geophysical survey are expected to identify areas on which to begin preliminary ground work, including more detailed geophysics, geochemistry and other techniques. The Liberty Star team anticipates that they will be able to identify drill targets and carry out some drilling before the end of the summer season.....

..... Liberty Star carries a fairly hefty market valuation for a project at such an early stage. The lure for speculative investors is that the geological setting has the potential to generate additional deposits on the scale of Pebble. Such a discovery could generate a very substantial payoff for investors.

In short, if the Liberty Star ground turns up indications of the presence of a deposit like the one located on the adjacent property, then the value of the company could easily be several times the current value. The company has a lot of geological talent, and particularly a lot of expertise with regard to this type of geology. My sense is that there is a very realistic chance that the team will come up with results before the end of the summer justifying a share price that could be a multiple of the current level...

So far, the company is almost completely unknown outside of the individuals closest to the project. I expect that Liberty Star will very soon begin to attract a lot of investor attention, based on the highly prospective geological setting and the highly regarded team of management and advisors. As work gets underway in the field over the coming weeks, that level of interest will continue to build. Although this company is speculative, exploration success could result in a substantial reward for investors who get a position near the current price level."

Yahoo wont let me paste the last paragraph .. it basically says that this is a rare opportunity to get in before discovery's are made.

In the last 8 years Briscoe has increased share count almost 20 fold and has axed the market cap to 1/5th of what it was. In addition he has sold almost half the property for pennies, severed a potential JV with Northern Dynasty Minerals, hasn't drilled anything but a few holes (if that) and still continues to "identify drill targets". Oh.. and the share price? Cut by 98.7%... From $1.53 to .02.
Congratulations James.

This is the history of this company. FACTS which point to a poorly run company full of promises that never deliver.
