TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (The “Company”) (OTCBB: LBSR) is pleased to announce that it has completed 80% of the collection of rock, soil and vegetation (biogeochemical) samples over approximately 621 sample sites surrounding and over the Hay Mountain claim area, one of three or more target areas comprising the Company’s Tombstone Porphyry-Precious Metals Project. All rock and soil samples have been collected, and vegetation sample collection is ongoing and will be completed in about 20 days or by about November 20. ...................
Interpretation of the geochemical data will entail pattern analysis of the various geochemical elements over known porphyry copper and gold mineralized zones as known from previous work on mineral deposits over the last five decades since the methodology was developed These data will be used in conjunction with detailed geological mapping presented in SRK’s recently completed technical report (see News Release 110, 9/27) and in conjunction with ZTEM electromagnetic imaging that the Company plans to be carried out shortly. ZTEM has been used successfully on various porphyry copper targets throughout the world including the Company’s Big Chunk target in Alaska. These geochemical and geophysical data sets will guide the implementation of a core drilling program, which the Company will undertake as funding becomes available.
Comments Chief Geologist and CEO James Briscoe, “The recently completed SRK technical report strongly recommended further geoscientific analysis for the discovery of porphyry copper and gold over the Hay Mountain portion of our Tombstone holdings. We are exactly following their recommendations.”
