FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TUCSON, AZ–(Sep 13, 2021)–Liberty Star Minerals (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCMarkets: LBSR) is pleased to announce it has engaged Desert Archaeology, Inc. and ecologist Bruce Pavlick (Canyon Environmental Consulting LLC)  to conduct Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) required archeological and native plant studies (the “Studies”) over Liberty Star’s gold exploration Red Rock Canyon Project (the “Project”).  The Company has also engaged J.B. Fink LLC (Dr. Jim Fink, PhD, P.E. (Geophysical), R.G., R.L.S.) (hereinafter, “Dr. Fink”) to perform ground-based IP (induced polarization) geophysical work.  The Project is part of the larger, and previously publicized, Hay Mountain Project for porphyry copper, gold & moly in Cochise County, Arizona.

The archeological study is scheduled to begin September 13^th while the native plant survey work is underway and should be completed around the middle of the month.  Both Studies will be conducted initially over the site of concentrated historical core drilling (see Technical Report Red Rock Canyon Gold Property, 2021) and will extend to include Liberty Star’s 4,761.5-acre MEP lands comprising the entire Red Rock Canyon Project area in later phases.  The company expects findings to be similar to those on adjacent Company land completed in 2013 (archaeology) and 2015 (native plant survey).

Dr. Fink will conduct 2-D IP geophysics over strategically located portions of the Project to supplement existing information to inform drill location selections; specifically, an IP resistivity survey over the area of known gold occurrence.  Dr. Fink is scheduled to start the geophysical planning in the next two weeks with field work to commence immediately upon ALSD approval of the Studies.

Brett Gross, Liberty Star’s CEO commented, “We are pursuing an aggressive completion of tasks prerequisite to our Red Rock Canyon Phase 1 drilling program.  In addition to the completion of these reports, we expect the SEC to issue an effective date for our S-1 within the next few weeks so we can fund any required road work to move drill rigs onto new or rehabilitated existing drill pads.   Our drilling contractor will obtain the required permits within that timing.  If all goes well, we may begin drilling as early as November.  However, outcomes from the Studies and IP geophysics work may dictate changes to any projected drill scheduling.  We will keep our shareholders apprised as this scheduling firms up.”

About Liberty Star    Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (LBSR: OTCQB), d/b/a Liberty Star Minerals, is an Arizona-based mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in Arizona and the southwest USA. Currently the company controls properties which are located over what management considers some of North America’s richest mineralized regions for copper, gold, silver, molybdenum (moly), and associated metals. The Company’s premiere property is the Hay Mountain Project (exploration stage) for porphyry copper, gold, moly and other commercially important minerals. Specific targets have been selected to explore for near surface and deep-seated ore bodies, of which there are numerous analogs nearby. Contiguous with the primary Hay Mountain porphyry exploration target, and part of the overall Hay Mountain Project, is an increasingly attractive area of exploration stage gold mineralization denominated Red Rock Canyon.  Red Rock Canyon exhibits what we believe are extensive, promising hydrothermal associated gold-bearing structures that are documented in historical public and Company records (see associated press and social media releases for more information).  The Hay Mountain Project is in Cochise County (southeast) Arizona, USA.

Regulation S-K 1300 Matters     On October 31, 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (“Regulation SK-1300”) to modernize the property disclosure requirements for mining registrants, and related guidance, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  All registrants are required to comply with Regulation SK-1300 for fiscal years ending after January 1, 2021.  Accordingly, the Company must comply with Regulation SK-1300 for its fiscal year ending January 31, 2021.  Regulation SK-1300 uses the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards (“CRIRSCO”) based classification scheme for mineral resources and mineral reserves, that includes definitions for inferred, indicated, and measured mineral resources.  Liberty Star is an “Exploration Stage Issuer” as defined in Subpart 1300.   It currently has no exploration results, mineral resources or mineral reserves to report, accordingly, no information, opinions or data included in the website or in any public releases includes any information or disclosures regarding exploration results, mineral resources or mineral reserves as defined in Regulation SK-1300.   As a result, the Company is not required, at this time, to obtain or provide a Technical Report Summary as defined in Regulation SK-1300.  U.S. Investors are cautioned not to rely upon or assume for any purpose that any part of the mineralized real property of the Company in these categories will ever be converted into inferred, indicated, and measured mineral resources or probable or proven mineral reserves within the meaning of Regulation S-K 1300.
