TUCSON, Ariz.�April 10�Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (�Liberty Star� or the �Company�) (LBSR: OTCBB) is pleased to provide an update of progress for exploration activity, specifically the geochemical program, on its Hay Mountain claims targeting copper, molybdenum (moly), gold and other metals. The nearly 1,800 geochemical samples collected over the Hay Mountain claims (NR 114) were sent to the ALS Minerals (ALS-Chemex) certified geochemical analysis lab in Vancouver, British Columbia.  ALS is currently producing a stream of assay results which are being sent to Liberty Star�s Tucson office. 

 

When all of the assays are received the Liberty Star geology team, headed by Jim Briscoe, the Company�s Chief Geologist and CEO, will be able to generate computer analyses that will allow interpretation of the data and identify anomalous samples and patterns.  The geochemical information will indicate metal zoning patterns.

 

The Company plans to carry out ZTEM geophysics later this Spring.  As stated in Liberty Star�s outline of exploration activity at Hay Mountain (NR 119), ZTEM will yield electromagnetic measurement to a depth of about 6,000 feet and will give  detailed shape information of any mineralized bodies and their depth.  As an added benefit, the ZTEM system produces detailed magnetic information. This is additive and will more closely define the details of the existing magnetic anomaly which corresponds to geology, alteration, peripheral precious metal veins in exposed rock and previous geochemistry.

 

A precisely targeted exploratory drilling plan will be the outcome of the combined geoscientific exploration procedures described above.  This drill plan will be accomplished after permitting and obtaining a drill contract.
