Muhammad Ali will be honored as the 24th recipient of the Liberty Medal on Sept. 13 at the National Constitution Center at Philadelphia's Independence Hall.

The National Constitution Center is the national headquarters of the Constitution's 225th anniversary celebration, and part of the celebration includes honoring Ali with the Liberty Medal, which is awarded to individuals of courage and conviction who strive to secure the blessings of liberty to people around the globe.

Among the past winners of the Liberty Medal are former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, movie director Steven Spielberg, former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, Colin Powell, Sandra Day O'Connor and Nelson Mandela.

Ali is the first former athlete to be awarded the Liberty Medal.

It is incredibly fitting that Muhammad Ali, a representative for , the bicentennial of the Constitution, be awarded the prestigious Liberty Medal in 2012, as the nation celebrates the 225th anniversary of our founding document, former President Bill Clinton, Chair of the National Constitution Center and past Liberty Medal recipient, said in a statement. Ali embodies the spirit of the Liberty Medal by embracing the ideals of the Constitution - freedom, self-governance, equality, and empowerment - and helping to spread them across the globe.

As well as being a gold-medal winner and one of the greatest boxers in history, Ali has been an outspoken advocate of religious and civil rights domestically and throughout the world.

When selected for the military draft, he became a conscientious objector. He took his battle to the Supreme Court and won, even though it cost him his boxing title and time in the ring.

Ali, who turns 70 this year, has been an ambassador for peace and justice worldwide throughout his adult life. He has become an advocate for those suffering from Parkinson's disease, a disease that has afflicted Ali.

He was selected in 1987 by the California Bicentennial Foundation for the U.S. Constitution to personify the meaning of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Muhammad Ali symbolizes all that makes America great, while pushing us as a people and as a nation to be better,' National Constitution Center President and CEO David Eisner, said in a statement. Each big fight of his life has inspired a new chapter of civic action. We look forward to welcoming him back to the Center, particularly during this momentous 225th anniversary year.

Ali to become 1st ex-athlete to receive Liberty Medal

TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (Liberty Star or the Company) (LBSR: OTCBB) is pleased to announce that the Company has discovered a large intrusion indicated by an aerially extensive low flight level magnetic survey, over and around the Tombstone caldera.

Background: The magnetic data provided to Jim Briscoe (JAB), ca. 1999 by an Australian mining company, was overlooked in a large collection of rolled maps, but was re-discovered during computer scanning of some 400 large rolled maps collected over 40 + years of work on the Tombstone Mining District, and elsewhere. When these maps were scanned, digitized and turned into computer compatible images, this mag data was recognized to be critically important to the current exploration work in the Tombstone caldera. Ca. 1981- 83, JAB compiled and reinterpreted data collected over the preceding 10 + years. His curiosity about inexplicable geologic relationships in the Tombstone area led him to the conclusion that Tombstone was a caldera, and that previous interpretations of the origin of the district were in error. JAB sent his data and conclusions to Dr. Peter Lipmann, US Geological Survey Caldera specialist. Dr. Lipmann, after field work and review of the data, concluded Briscoe was correct and gave him written credit for the recognition. Subsequent work by the United States Geological Survey and others (including JAB) has refined the interpreted aerial extent of the caldera. It is now generally recognized , through study by many geologists in mineral deposits associated with volcanism and calderas that many mineral deposits and particularly porphyry copper deposits, are associated with the roots of calderas., To put it another way, mineral deposits are associated with the tops of intrusive granitic masses (plutons) which cause calderas in the first place. Liberty Star has concentrated much effort on these interpretative studies including contributions of Briscoes work in over 20 calderas -most mineralized. Because of this work, dating back to 1965, we believe that the Pebble Deposit and associated alteration zone, including Liberty Stars adjacent, covered alteration zone( indicated by porphyry copper geochemical signatures and ZTEM electromagnetic geophysics) defines the Big Chunk caldera in southwest Alaska.

Importance: At Tombstone, the large magnetic high revealed by the newly retrieved magnetic map represents the large body of solidified (but previously molten) granite (magma), which is the subsurface continuation of the exposed Schieffelin granodiorite (granite body named for the discoverer of the district, Ed Schieffelin), and other associated intrusives, which fed the explosive caldera and the surface (sub aerial) deposition of the Uncle Sam ignimbrite (welded tuff). The Company has compiled all geologic and mineral occurrence and alteration zones in the district and surrounding area, including virtually all mines and prospects, no matter how small, and superimposed them on the image of the magnetic body. When this was done it is clear that mineral bearing hydrothermal bodies porphyry copper systems and associated precious metal mineralization- are intimately associated with magnetic fluxuations (anomalies) in this magnetic body.

The intrusion covers about 215 square miles and its generalized edges appear to follow the outer edge of the interpreted caldera margins. All known mineralization, represented by prospects and the old Tombstone Consolidated Mines production area adjacent to the Tombstone town site are associated with these fluxuations (anomalies) in this intrusive mass. As yet undiscovered mineral bodies, if they exist, will likely be as well.

One of these anomalies is the magnetic high associated with the Hay Mountain target. Another is associated with the Walnut Creek target. Other anomalies appear to be associated with other confidential targets identified by other criteria. With the application of ZTEM geophysics we believe that ZTEM anomalies associated with porphyry copper alteration zones will be revealed. These, with this new data in hand could number 5 to 7 or more major targets.

Considering the size of the Tombstone caldera and its underlying magma source, (both about 215 square miles), in comparison to known mineral bearing calderas, the Tombstone area warrants much additional work. In terms of size and commercial potential, the Tombstone caldera compares in size to large surrounding Laramide (an age designation about 65 million years ago) calderas and associated mineral zones in the southeastern part of Arizona.

Comments James Briscoe, Liberty Stars CEO and Chief Geologist, I have surmised, for many years, that the Tombstone caldera could be one of the large hosts for porphyry copper zones in southeastern Arizona. We now have an accurate measurement of the calderas size and precise location of the driving granite intrusive (granite pluton). We will work to see if we can confirm additional porphyry copper mineral targets, beyond the targets we already have, using our normal, careful, methodical application of cutting edge geotechnology. Hay Mountain and our other Tombstone holdings reside within or along the edge of this massive intrusion.

Ali flew to Lebanon in 1985 to help achieve the release of four hostages, and traveled to Iraq to help secure the release of 15 United States hostages during the first Gulf War. He has participated in goodwill missions to Afghanistan, North Korea and Cuba, and he traveled to South Africa to meet Nelson Mandela when Mandela was released from prison. Ali has devoted time domestically, too, and in November 2005, Ali and his wife Lonnie opened the Muhammad Ali Center in their hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. The center encourages people to commit to personal growth, integrity, and respect for others.
