TUCSON, Ariz.�(August 28)�Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (�Liberty Star� or the �Company�)(LBSR: OTCQB) is pleased to announce the Company has received word from the field that drilling has progressed to about 500 feet at target #1 (of 12), drill hole #1 on the Big Chunk Super Project, south block. The target for this hole is a depth of 1,650 feet (500 meters) where ZTEM data shows a profound resistivity (sulfide?) low which may equate to a porphyry copper center.

 

Field Geologist Gregory McGilvray reports that the Liberty Star drillers have intersected black altered sedimentary-volcanic rock commonly known as �hornfels.�  This rock has disseminated iron sulfide (pyrite) in it.

 

The drilling has been rapid. The geologic crew is still catching up with the logging which includes recording data with the digital data logger, high resolution photography, scanning by a XRF analyzer, a magnetic and electronic susceptibility meter, and ultra violet light. All data will be recorded on the Big Chunk field camp computer server and then transmitted by a satellite uplink to the Internet and batch transmitted and captured on the Tucson office server for distribution and analysis by the appropriate experts on our Technical Advisory Board, as well as Chief Geologist Jim Briscoe and other specialists when needed.  Core cutting and assay procedures have been discussed in News Release 133, August 6, 2012.
