TUCSON, AZ, Jan. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Star Minerals (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCMarkets: LBSR) is pleased to announce the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) has issued renewal notifications for 21 MEPs covering Liberty Star’s wholly owned Hay Mountain Project including the Red Rock Canyon Gold Project (RRC). Additionally, the Company has received a new Mineral Exploration Permit (MEP) comprising 80 acres as part of the Company’s ongoing 240 acres claim area over the Robbers Roost Project (RRP), approximately 5.89 miles west of the Hay Mountain Project. The Company is current on all MEP requirements through 2023 renewal dates.

The Red Rock Canyon Gold and Robbers Roost Projects may possess commercially important metals associated with porphyry copper-gold-moly geologic structures, well represented in the area from central Arizona to northern Mexico.

“Liberty Star has been interested in the Robbers Roost area for years, and we are not alone,” comments Company CEO Brett Gross. “Several entities hold MEPs and other mining associated claims in the immediate area. We have geoscientific data, including historical drilling information (by others), that indicate a high potential for mineralization. We remain diligent and optimistic about our progress at Red Rock Canyon as well. The renewals demonstrate our support for the exploration work to date. We believe 2023 presents encouraging opportunities to move the RRC project forward to the overall benefit of the Company, Hay Mountain and our shareholders.”

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 which 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 Project (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 Project, 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 (see associated press and social media releases for more information). The Hay Mountain Project is in Cochise County (southeast) Arizona, USA.
