Liberty Star's Phase 1 Exploratory Drilling at Hay Mountain Project

Liberty Star Uranium (OTCBB:LBSR) has discussed plans to begin Phase 1 drilling at its Hay Mountain Project.
James A. Briscoe, president and CEO, said:

The Company plans to bring in our contracted diamond core drill, Titan Drilling’s R-40, to the Hay Mountain Project and complete Phase 1 of the exploration drilling including analysis of the mineralization located on our mineral property. Until this drilling of up to 12 holes and perhaps more, we cannot confirm what is causing certain anomalies, which are classic indicators of known porphyry copper mineralization. By comparison to similar nearby porphyry copper systems which are currently being mined or have been mined in the past, which include Bisbee approximately 15 miles to the south, Rosemont — about 50 miles to the west, and the Mission-Pima ore body about 60 miles to west, Johnson Camp and the I-10 Porphyry (aka the Gunnison in-situ leach by Excelsior about 30 to 35 miles north and the Courtland-Gleeson skarn about 9 miles northeast all of which are sediment hosted skarn mineral bodies that are in the same rock types as those which underlie the Hay Mountain Super Project.

As quoted in the press release:

As part of the Phase 1 process, drill core will be immediately processed at the Company’s field camp site near the drilling area in the normal way, including washing, high resolution digital photography, saw splitting with diamond saws, bagging ½ the split core for assay and sequestering that split core in a secure trailer under lock and key, then shipping that core, under chain of custody to a Tucson-based certified assay lab for crushing, grinding to minus 80 mesh and splitting into an assay aliquots and then shipping those to the certified assay lab for multi-element assays.
