LAS VEGAS, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- First Liberty Power Corp. (FLPC) is pleased to announce the completion of a 43-101 report covering the Fencemaker Antimony Project, of which First Liberty holds a 40.5% interest.
The Fencemaker Project is located in the Stillwater Range of west central Nevada, approximately 194 kilometers northeast of the city of Reno, Nevada, and more locally approximately 60 kilometers east-southeast of the town of Lovelock, and consists of five unpatented contiguous mining claims that cover a total of 100.0 acres (40.47 hectares). The Fencemaker Mine was established and first shipped antimony ore in the 1880s, with intermittent minor production continuing until the 1990's.
As part of the 43-101 report, a Phase 1 program of reverse circulation (RC) drilling was initiated in July 2012 to test the down dip and strike extension of mineralization known to be present in the Fencemaker Mine. This program consisted of a total of 2350 feet (716 m) from thirteen (13) holes collared in the hanging wall of the structure. Highest value recorded was 18.65% Sb (Stibnite or Antimony ore) from drill hole FM-02 at the 35 to 40 foot (10.7 to 12.2 m) interval below surface. High-grade mineralization exists to a depth of a minimum of 110 feet (33.5 m) below surface. A cut-off grade of 0.40% Sb was selected for an NI43-101 and SEC compliant Inferred Mineral Resource. That Inferred Mineral Resource is from five individual blocks totaling 34,125 short tons with an average grade of 2.92% Sb. Within this estimated total resource higher grade blocks, up to 10,500 tons of 4.17% Sb are present. Analysis for gold in the drill samples shows a zone of anomalous (up to 294 ppb Au; 0.294 g/t Au).

CEO Don Nicholson, states "the release of this report confirms our strong belief that the Fencemaker is a viable property for near term production. Furthermore, with the use of efficient and modern underground mining methods, together with a milling/refining operation to upgrade the ore to approximately 60% grade Antimony, we believe that near term profitable production is viable on the Property. As recommended in the 43-101 report, we intend to undertake a further program of 5000 feet (1500 m) reverse circulation drilling to obtain more data on strike and depth extent of the mineralization, together with localized surface mapping to trace the mineralized structure on surface and to test for Carlin-type gold mineralization." The CEO went on to say, "that all necessary components are in place with our very professional project partners to finalize mine and mill site preparations, and we project the commencement of production sometime in the first quarter 2013. We continue to vigorously seek additional capital to complete this final pre-production phase."
