Here is Briscoe’s summary of the Naru/naseba China roadshow:

“We have had a very good response from all of our meetings in Beijing – with the ZTEM results playing a very big role. The interest is coming from the highest levels of very large mining companies who are doing mineral exploration all over the world. However most of them have not previously heard of ZTEM, or our geophysical contractor Geotech Ltd., but their interest was palpable as they could see the relationship of the ZTEM results to the Porphyry Copper Model co-authored by Liberty Star Director, Dr. John M. Guilbert. They are all looking forward to the 2D Inversions per Geotech’s recommendations (NR 165), and its relationship to the vegetation geochemistry and surface and subsurface projections over the Hay Mountain target. With my more thorough examination of the ZTEM images there is clearly gradations between the high resolution contours of the high resistivity core zones which would represent the porphyry copper low sulfide ore centers and the low resistivity outer layers which would represent the pyrite halo, always present and forming classic porphyry copper systems signatures as seen elsewhere by ZTEM. While the only way to be sure is to drill these anomalies to see what they are, these are very strong patterns which are already coupled with our porphyry copper geochemical signatures from our geochemical sampling data going back 40+ years and as recent as 2011. Mining exploration geology is like links in a chain. I have developed these links over some 41 years, of favorable geology, alteration studies, geochemistry in 4 major rounds, and now ZTEM electromagnetic geophysics. All of these links in the exploration chain are favorable, strong and mutually reinforcing. Except for minor final touches and drill hole positioning related to the new ZTEM data we are ready to drill as soon as the necessary financing is available.”

ZTEM Update

According to Geotech’s recommendations 2D inversion data is being prepared with a proposed due date of October 31st. The 2D data specifically covers the key centers of the Hay Mountain detected electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies, and will be included in SRK’s updated professional report (NR 164).
