Liberty Star -- XState Resources Ltd. -- Elle Uranium Drilling Program -- Elle Rotary Hole 01 Complete, Hada Rotary Hole 01 Star
March 02 2007 - 8:07AM
Business Wire
Liberty Star Gold Corp (the �Company�) (OTCBB:LBTS) is pleased to
announce that the Elle Joint Venture with XState Resources Limited
(ASX:XST) (previously OCR Minerals) has completed Rotary Drill Hole
(RDH) Elle 01 to a depth of 2,000 feet as of Friday, February 23,
2007, the first hole of its three Pipe drilling program. The drill
has now moved to the Hada Pipe geophysical target, which lays
approximately 4,000 feet North West of RDH Elle 01. The drill
started Monday morning, February 26. It is now at a depth of 865
feet. It has penetrated the Moenkopi formation and the Kaibab
limestone, and is in the Toroweap formation, which overlies the
Coconino sandstone followed by the Hermit shale, the target
horizons. The drilling on Elle 01 went so rapidly � twice the
driller�s expected rate � that the geologic team is still catching
up with logging and data compilation. The in-hole geophysical team
is expected to arrive on Friday, March 2. They will begin
electrical geophysics known as TEM, which will look outward from
the hole a distance of 200 to 400 feet to determine the presence of
anomalies thought to be associated with uranium. We will therefore
be able to geophysically search a 2,000 foot column of rock with a
diameter of 400 to 800 feet. If targets are identified, they will
be tested with directional diamond drilling. When this work is
complete and all the data, including the drill hole data from RDH
Elle 01, has been compiled, the results will be announced. The Hada
01 hole will be probed in a similar fashion, as will subsequent
drilling. Surface geophysics will be undertaken by the same team
and equipment in between drill hole surveys. Like RDH Elle 01, RDH
Hada 01 drill hole is eight inches in diameter and drilled with air
circulation. Directional surveys will be taken every 100 feet as a
part of a standard operating procedure in order to keep the hole as
near vertical as possible � an important aspect which allows them
to hit specified targets. ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
"James A. Briscoe" James A. Briscoe, President/Director The Elle
Joint Venture breccia pipes are part of the large uranium bearing
breccia pipe terrain which occurs on the Arizona Strip lying just
south of the Utah border. Eight mines were brought into production
during the 1970s and early 1980s on deposits discovered within the
immediate area. The uranium bearing pipes which were mined are the
second highest grade uranium mineral deposits in the world and the
highest grade in the United States. Previously mined mineralization
in these pipes has graded about 0.6% to 0.7% uranium or about 12 to
14 pounds per ton. In addition to uranium, they are known to
contain copper, zinc, silver, vanadium, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum,
gallium, germanium and other metals. Past producers have recovered
copper, silver and vanadium as by-products of uranium mining. SAFE
HARBOR STATEMENT Statements in this news release that are not
historical are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements in this news release include that the in-hole
geophysical team is expected to arrive on Friday, March 2; that
they will begin electrical geophysics know as TEM, which will look
outward from the hole a distance of 200 to 400 feet to determine
the presence of anomalies thought to be associated with uranium;
that we will be able to geophysically search a 2,000 foot column of
rock with a diameter of 400 to 800 feet; and that if targets are
identified, they will be tested with directional diamond drilling.
It is important to note that the Company�s actual outcomes may
differ materially from those statements contained in this press
release. Factors which may delay or prevent these forward-looking
statements from being realized include misinterpretation of data;
that we may not be able to get equipment or labor as we need it;
that we may not be able to raise sufficient funds to complete our
intended exploration; that we may be unable to agree with our joint
venture partners as to the work to be performed; that our
application to drill may be denied; that weather, logistical
problems or hazards may prevent us from exploration; that equipment
may not work as well as expected; that analysis of data may not be
possible accurately and at depth; that results which we or others
have found in any particular location are not necessarily
indicative of larger areas of our property; and that despite
encouraging data there may be no commercially exploitable
mineralization on our properties. Readers should refer to the risk
disclosures outlined in the Company�s most recent 10-KSB and the
Company�s other periodic reports filed from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Mr. Briscoe was interviewed on
