Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp.
Liberty Star, through its wholly owned Alaska subsidiary, Big Chunk Corp., holds exclusive mineral exploration rights to 413 state mining claims in two blocks covering approximately 101 square miles in southwest Alaska. The Big Chunk claims were initially staked in 2003 along the Big Chunk caldera, which is believed to host Northern Dynasty Minerals’/Anglo American’s Pebble Project. Liberty Star engaged in exploratory drilling for porphyry copper, gold, molybdenum (moly), silver and zinc in 2004, 2005, and 2012. The Company has also conducted extensive geochemical and geophysical studies over its claims, including a ZTEM survey of the BCSP’s south block in 2009. SRK Consulting submitted a NI 43-101 compliant technical report on the Big Chunk Super Project in 2010: available on Liberty Star’s website libertystaruranium.com.
