Liberty Silver Starts Planning for Production at Trinity Silver

Posted: at 2:12 pm

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire -07/24/12)- Liberty Silver Corp. (LSL.TO)(LBSV) ("Liberty Silver" or the "Company") has engaged an independent consultancy, SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc., of Reno, Nevada, to undertake a scoping study for silver production at Liberty Silver's Trinity Silver property.

"We remain guided by our disciplined mitigated-risk approach," said Geoffrey Browne, Liberty Silver's Chairman and CEO. "Even though we have identified multiple exploration targets at Trinity, our board of directors and management are keenly aware of current challenging conditions for junior mining companies in global capital markets. We are thus evaluating various options, including the prudency of immediately proceeding with production planning and execution."

Liberty Silver completed and filed a NI 43-101 technical report on the Trinity mining district silver project in December 2011. The report identified an inferred resource that the Company expects to upgrade in the near term. As part of the first phase 2012 drilling program (See press releases January 25, and July 9, 2012), two drill holes, of a planned twelve-hole program, successfully began confirming the grade and thickness of the resource. Other holes identified strong new silver mineralization outside the current NI 43-101 inferred resource.

The scoping study by SRK Consulting will include the following:

Liberty Silver has also retained JBR Environmental of Reno, Nevada, to begin the permitting process for mine development. JBR has done all of the environmental work for Liberty Silver on the project to date.

Liberty Silver is currently planning the second phase of the Trinity 2012 drill program at locations adjacent to and removed from the resource area as well as confirmation drilling within the resource area.

About Liberty Silver Corp.

Liberty Silver Corp. is focused on exploring and developing mineral properties located in North America. The Company is led by a skilled, experienced, management team and board of directors with significant experience managing exploration, development and mining projects. The Company is committed to creating value for its shareholders by advancing its current projects utilizing its mitigated risk approach to production, developing new resources on its current properties, and by acquiring new properties that have the potential to increase their resource base. The Trinity Silver project, located in Pershing County, Nevada is the Company's flagship project. Liberty Silver has the right to earn a joint venture interest in the 10,476 acre Trinity property from Renaissance Gold Inc. pursuant to the terms of an Earn-In Agreement.

My favourite genre with Saif is a romantic film, says Dinesh Vijan

Posted: at 2:12 pm

By Joginder Tuteja, Glamsham Editorial

"I personally like making love stories and even though I am still learning and growing, I think this is something that I know", says Dinesh who had earlier tasted big success with LOVE AAJ KAL, again a romantic film, "In fact my favourite genre with Saif would be a romantic story as well, not to be mistaken with a romantic comedy though. In fact even if I were to make romantic comedy in future, it would be something on the lines of COCKTAIL and won't really have place for slapstick humour."

With COCKTAIL as well as LOVE AAJ KAL resulting in two successive romantic successes for his company, Dinesh seems to have cracked the code.

"See, for starters it is the most stable genre for Hindi films since time immemorial", he says, "Also, I feel that music really accentuates this genre well. However, at the end of the day, it's all about deciding the content in conjunction with each other. Whatever Saif and I may eventually choose, we need to believe in the same and have good conviction towards it. AGENT VINOD was not a romantic film but we had conviction in it right through it's conceptualisation till release."

He goes on to add in a lighter vein, "See, all us filmmakers have a certain timeline so we need to be aware of what we would be doing for another five or seven years. Reason being that after that some other smart chap will come along with his ideas. While we are at it, we would do what makes sense. After that we would hopefully hire that smart kid to work for us."

Good thought here!

Wallowing in the dirt: Internet debates about the Colorado/Dark Knight shootings

Posted: at 2:10 pm

Article II. A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the States to maintain Armed Militias shall not be infringed." Bill of Rights, United States Constitution

I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment (hell, if you dont start a piece with that line these days, you get demands to be investigated by the defunct HUAC) , but I also dont believe that anyone I know needs to be able to arm themselves with all the trappings of a small army. So, yes, Ill tell you at the outset of this piece that I believe in gun control, even though we have a gun in our home for protection.

The shootings in Colorado, after their initial horror, have given way to the insipid debates over the Second Amendment we so often see on the Internet, though this time completely divorced from reality. The dead in the theater are an inconvenience to some who push the hard-core Second Amendment argument at all costs, no matter who is in the body bags.

Though the debates I have read - and to some degree taken part in - have been online - in truth they take place in some vast graveyard, too large and too-peopled to be tended well, and expanding all the time. We lean against mossy tombstones and make witty remarks and score political points at our opponents expense.

We have a comfortable myth in this country that gun owners are repelling invaders on a daily basis, but aside from the occasional news story, most of the stories you will read about in the news have to do with random violence.

Family members.

Strangers in restaurants.

Patrons in bars.

Church goers.

Shoppers in malls.

How Aurora and other shootings are made in Europe

Posted: at 2:10 pm

Americans mourn the victims of the Aurora, Colo., shooting. In Europe, too, there is grief, mingled with incomprehension. The media chorus: How many more massacres before America adopts European-style gun control?

Christoph Prantner of Austria's Der Standard bemoans American insistence on Second Amendment rights, "even when this freedom occasionally has a very high price and, in a bloody perversion, fatally impairs the freedom of others."

I can't disagree. I just wish Prantner had noted that James Holmes was allegedly wielding Austrian weaponry when he barged into that darkened theater: specifically, a .40-caliber semiautomatic Glock pistol.

For all the tut-tutting across the pond, America's gun culture exists in symbiosis with Europe's culture of precision manufacturing, of which the Glock is a notable expression.

Thirty years ago, Gaston Glock designed this lightweight, rapid-fire killing machine and sold 20,000 to Austria's army. Now his state-supported invention is one of Austria's most successful exports. The tiny alpine nation exported 431,118 handguns to the United States in 2010, according to federal data. Only giant Brazil sold more.

The majority of the Austrian guns were Glocks. And while Glocks have replaced revolvers and U.S.-model pistols in police holsters across the land, most Glock imports are destined for the civilian market, according to journalist Paul M. Barrett, author of Glock: The Rise of America's Gun.

Glock's customers have apparently included not only Holmes, but also Jared Lee Loughner, charged in the 2011 Tucson massacre that left six dead and then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords among the severely injured, as well as the shooters in the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre (32 murdered) and the 1991 Killeen, Texas, massacre (23 murdered). You might call Glock the favorite weapon of America's Amoklaeufer, as those who run amok with guns are known in German.

But that wouldn't be fair to the makers of the Walther P22 that Virginia Tech shooter Seung Hui Cho also carried, or the Sig Sauer P232 that Steven Kazmierczak bore while killing five people at Northern Illinois University in 2008. Both are German products. With 230,447 handguns exported to the United States in 2010, Germany is the American gun junkie's No. 2 European dealer. All told, European Union members shipped just under a million handguns to the United States in 2010.

Their domestic markets may be limited by gun control, but Europe's arms makers can still get rich thanks to the Second Amendment. Who knew?

The question is what, if anything, to do about the influx of European-made semiautomatic pistols that have transformed the U.S. market while their manufacturers pay only a modest tariff.

More press freedom for Burma's media

Posted: July 24, 2012 at 5:12 am

23 July 2012 Last updated at 21:14 ET By Lewis Macleod BBC Monitoring

Cautious reforms being introduced by Burma's President Thein Sein are freeing up the rigid controls on the media.

Although repressive laws remain technically in force, practical guidelines have given print, television and internet journalists considerable leeway to report on everything including controversial political questions.

Information Minister Kyaw Hsan says a new media law is being drafted that will abolish censorship and replace it with a self-regulating Press Council.

After criticism in the exiled media that journalists were not being consulted, Kyaw Hsan invited some Burmese media players back home to help work on the draft with additional assistance from UNESCO, the UN cultural agency.

By the time she was 14, Myo Myo already knew that she wanted to be a journalist.

She is eagerly anticipating the government's revision of Burma's media law.

''I want more press freedom,'' said the 31-year-old who worked for a weekly newspaper in Rangoon, and then the Myanmar Times.

She recently spent three months in Singapore on the Asia Journalism Fellowship programme under the Temasek Foundation and the communications school at the Nanyang Technological University.

''I've made up my mind that I will spend my life in media industry.''

Freedom Get Late Comeback Win over Lake Erie

Posted: at 5:12 am

July 23, 2012 - Frontier League (FL) Florence Freedom Florence, KY-The Florence Freedom rallied for an enormous 10-9 victory over the Lake Erie Crushers Monday afternoon on "super splash day" at the Home of the Florence Freedom.

Drew Rundle's three run homerun in the 7th gave the Freedom a late inning lead that they never relinquished. Rundle's homer came with the Freedom trailing 8-6, as they also got a clutch performance from Pierre LePage, who came in as a defensive replacement for Peter Fatse. LePage went 3-4 with 3 RBI including an RBI single in the 8th which gave the Freedom a 10-8 lead. That RBI proved to be pivotal because Andrew Davis of Lake Erie launched a 9th inning homer over the right field wall against Brennan Flick to cut the lead to 10-9. Flick stayed composed on the mound though to retire the final two batters and notch his second save in as many nights.

Lake Erie built a 7-2 lead after the first two innings against Freedom starter Scott Moviel. The Crushers took advantage of Moviel's wildness, as he walked 6 batters in 1.2 innings on the hill. The Freedom chipped away at the Crushers lead in the 4th inning. Kyle Bluestein made his professional debut and got his first pro hit on an RBI single in the inning. Edwin Padua followed with an RBI hit as well, and then LePage lined a two run single to cut the Crushers lead to 7-6.

Sean Gregory was a part of a bullpen that pitched the final 7.1 innings of the game, only allowing two runs. Gregory earned the win after throwing 2.1 innings and only giving up 1 hit. Mike Hanley preceded him with 3 solid innings, as Matt Kline and Flick also contributed in the bullpen heroics.

The Freedom will go for the series sweep against Lake Erie Tuesday night. LHP Paul Fagan(6-3, 2.76) will start for the Crushers while LHP Brent Choban will make his professional debut for the Freedom. Tuesday's game can be heard with Steve Jarnicki starting at 6:50 pm on Real Talk 1160 and realtalk1160.com.

Freedom fighter Captain Lakshmi Sahgal dies

Posted: July 23, 2012 at 7:19 pm

Kanpur:Freedom fighter Captain Lakshmi Sahgal has died in a Kanpur hospital; she was 97. She was in a coma since Wednesday when she had a heart stroke. She was a close aide of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

There will be no cremation ceremony held as her body has been donated to the Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Medical College in Kanpur.

Captain Lakshmi Sahgal was born in Madras and qualified as a doctor from the Madras Medical College in 1938. Two years later, she moved to Singapore and set up a free clinic to help migrant Indian workers. She met Subhash Chandra Bose in Singapore in 1943. He spoke of the need to create an all- women's regiment in the Indian National Army in the fight for India's independence, and made her its commander.

In 1947, she married Colonel Prem Kumar Sahgal. Their oldest child, Subhasini, is a prominent social activist and CPM leader. The Sahgals were settled in Kanpur where she continued her work as a doctor. In 1971, Sahgal joined the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and represented the party in the Rajya Sabha.

In 2002, four leftist parties - the Communist Party of India, the Communist Party of India (Marxist), the Revolutionary Socialist Party, and the All India Forward Bloc - made her their candidate for President of India. She was defeated by APJ Abdul Kalam.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Vice President Hamid Ansari today condoled the death of freedom fighter Captain Lakshmi Sehgal, saying that the nation has lost an icon of selfless service. (Read)

Freedom award call for Wiggins

Posted: at 7:19 pm

23 July 2012 Last updated at 10:29 ET

There are calls for Bradley Wiggins to be given the Freedom of the City of Westminster after his historic Tour de France win.

The 32-year-old cyclist sealed Britain's first Tour victory on Sunday and now councillors want to honour him.

He grew up in Maida Vale and used places such as Hyde Park and Paddington Recreation Ground to train in.

A Westminster City Council spokesman said giving Wiggins the award "is something we are keenly looking at".

Councillor Paul Dimoldenberg, leader of Westminster Council's Labour group, said: "Bradley Wiggins is the most fantastic sportsman and it all started in Maida Vale.

"Westminster City Council should honour this most dedicated sportsman for his achievement as the first Briton to win the Tour de France, as well as his magnificent Olympic medals.

"Bradley Wiggins is a great role model for young people and the council should award this honour in Olympic year 2012."

One of the Maida Vale councillors, Alastair Moss, Conservative, said: "Bradley Wiggins has scored a historic sporting victory and inspired huge pride across the country - no more so than in his home turf of Westminster and Maida Vale.

"Recognising Bradley's outstanding achievement through the Freedom of Westminster award is something we are keenly looking at."
