TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- <\/p>\n
Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (Liberty Star or the Company)(LBSR: OTCQB) is pleased to announce a tentative schedule beginning in mid- to late April for a ZTEM airborne electromagnetic survey over the Companys Hay Mountain claims in Cochise County, Arizona. Liberty Star has set up a separate operating account for the Hay Mountain portion of the Tombstone Super Project and has deposited $50 thousand in that account. Additional funds will be directed into this account to pay for ZTEM, geochem and diamond drilling. Geotech believes that electromagnetic conditions will be good for the airborne survey as early as mid- to late April. The helicopter borne flight will take about a week, assuming good weather. Modeling and analysis of the data will take approximately 2 weeks. <\/p>\n
Other highlights for the 1st quarter 2013: <\/p>\n
Comments CEO and Chief Geologist Jim Briscoe: By cutting costs on an already lean operation and judiciously drawing down on the Deer Valley funding we are able to move ahead at Hay Mountain. ZTEM will allow us to manage our targets efficiently and at a substantially lower cost than without it. I was an early adopter of ZTEM technology, which is now almost a standard procedure for porphyry copper targets throughout the world. <\/p>\n
About Hay Mountain, Southeast Arizona <\/p>\n
The Hay Mountain block of theTombstone Super Project(Cochise County, Arizona) consists of 57 unpatented federal lode mining claims in addition to 15 Arizona State Mineral Exploration Permits (MEPs). MEPs are the first step in completing an Arizona State Land Mining Lease. The Company has completed the required assessment work to hold the MEPs. This land position covers a geologically, geophysically and geochemically indicated, completely covered, porphyry copper-moly-silver-gold, and rare earth elements mineral center. One major target within the Hay Mountain claim block is defined along with four other smaller targets. Liberty Star has recently discovered a large intrusion indicated by an aerially extensive low flight level magnetic survey under and partially exposed in and around the Tombstone caldera (NR 129). Mineralization is clearly associated with this intrusive body. <\/p>\n
