Liberty Star Announces $10,000,000 Equity Financing Agreement with GHS Investments, LLC

Rhea-AI Summary

Liberty Star Minerals (OTCMarkets: LBSR) has entered into a $10,000,000 Equity Financing Agreement with GHS Investments, on September 25, 2024. The agreement provides Liberty Star with 'put' rights for funds totaling $10 million over a 2-year term. The company plans to use these funds to further explore its properties in Cochise County, Arizona, particularly the Red Rock Canyon Gold Project (RRC) within the larger Hay Mountain Project.

The RRC property is believed to contain commercially important metals associated with porphyry copper-gold-moly geologic structures. Liberty Star's Chief Geologist, Jim Bryce, initiated an extensive channel sampling program in March 2024, considering it equivalent to horizontal drill holes. The company aims to generate a near-surface gold resource and provide direction for future drilling, especially as gold prices reach new highs.

TUCSON, AZ, Oct. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Star Minerals ("Liberty Star" or the "Company") (OTCMarkets: LBSR) is pleased to announce that on September 25, 2024 we entered into an “Equity Financing Agreement” with GHS Investments, LLC ("GHS") to raise up to $10,000,000. GHS Investments LLC is a leading private investment and management group providing financial solutions for high-potential small cap companies. GHS has successfully invested in multiple portfolio companies in the small cap space seeking capital to grow and scale their existing businesses extending into national exchanges. Liberty Star is currently conducting exploration work on its wholly owned Red Rock Canyon Gold Project (RRC) within the larger Hay Mountain Project property in southeast Arizona. The RRC may contain commercially important metals associated with porphyry copper-gold-moly geologic structures, which are well represented in the area from central Arizona to northern Mexico.

Under the Agreement, Liberty Star has “put” rights for funds that can total $10,000,000 over the 2 year’s term. The company is filing an S1 Registration Statement as part of the Agreement. Terms of the Agreement are in an 8k filing viewable on EDGAR.

Liberty Star plans to use the funds to further explore its properties in Cochise County, Arizona.

Focused exploration work on the Red Rock Gold Property picked up momentum in March 2024 after Chief Geologist Jim Bryce concluded that RRC property jasperoid outcropping combined with a database describing historical findings in the area required an extensive channel sampling program. He stated “When surveyed, mapped, and sampled to industry standards, channel samples can be considered as horizontal drill holes. This detailed, surveyed sampling procedure will allow us to generate a near-surface gold resource and provide direction for future drilling on the site.” (March 5, 2024)

Geochemical results reported to date have provided impetus to continue with the channel sampling program. Looking ahead, the Company believes 3D modeling and planning for drilling to generate a resource as gold prices reach new highs regularly mark this as an exciting and opportune time to move ahead with near surface work at the RRC.

About Liberty Star Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (LBSR: OTCQB), d/b/a Liberty Star Minerals is an Arizona-based mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in Arizona and the southwest USA. Currently, the company controls properties that are located over what management considers some of North America’s richest mineralized regions for copper, gold, silver, molybdenum (moly), and associated metals. The Company’s premiere property is the Hay Mountain property (exploration stage) for porphyry copper, gold, moly, and other commercially important minerals. Specific targets have been selected to explore for near-surface and deep-seated ore bodies, of which there are numerous analogs nearby. Contiguous with the primary Hay Mountain porphyry exploration target, and part of the overall Hay Mountain property, is an increasingly attractive area of exploration stage gold mineralization denominated Red Rock Canyon. Red Rock Canyon exhibits what we believe are extensive, promising hydrothermal associated gold-bearing structures that are documented in historical public and Company records. View numerous geoscientific reports on our website. The Hay Mountain & Red Rock Canyon properties are in Cochise County (southeast) Arizona, USA.
