Liberty Star's Gold-Silver Providence Project, Nevada Mon Jun 9, 8:53 AM ca.news.finance.yahoo.com TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the “Company”) (OTCBB: LBSU.OB) is pleased to announce that it has entered into discussions with at least one potential joint venture partner on the Providence Project area, which, based on previous geological work, has inferred disseminated gold resources of as much as 300,000 ounces. The Company announced April 29, 2008, (NR 74) that it had leased, with the option to purchase, three properties from JABA US Inc., including the Providence Patented Mining Claim in the Beatty Bullfrog Mining District, Nye County, Nevada. The Company and other interested parties are in discussion to consolidate contiguous claims into one project area to be known as the Providence Project. All involved in the discussions agree that the terrain has the potential to be mined on a relatively accelerated timeline. As reported on April 29, the Company’s land lies on and forms the northwestern pit wall of the Montgomery-Shoshone (M-S) open pit, last mined in the 1990s by Barrick Bull Frog Mining Company, a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corp., and others for disseminated gold and silver. A parallel mineral system continuous from the M-S open pit on the Providence Project has yet to be drill tested for disseminated precious metal mineralization. The Company notes with interest the recently announced news that Sterlite Industries of India has agreed to purchase Arizona based copper mining company ASARCO LLC for $2.6 billion. The Company’s East Silver Bell Porphyry Copper Project (part of the option to purchase agreement announced in NR 74) is directly adjacent to patented (private) land owned by ASARCO in southern Arizona’s Silver Bell Mining District, near Tucson, Arizona. ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS “James A. Briscoe” James A. Briscoe, President/Director About Liberty Star’s Mineral Exploration Projects Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. is a mineral exploration company currently engaged in an ongoing drilling program for the discovery of uranium ore deposits on the Arizona Strip region of the Colorado Plateau (North Pipes Super Project). Liberty Star also maintains exploration projects in Alaska for copper, gold, silver and moly, in Nevada for gold and silver, and in southern Arizona for porphyry copper and other metals. Information on these can be found at Liberty Star’s extensive web site libertystaruranium.com. 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 we can enter into agreements with other parties, consolidate contiguous claims into one project area to be known as the Providence Project; and that the terrain has the potential to be mined on a relatively accelerated timeline. It is important to note that the Company’s actual outcomes may differ materially from those statements contained in this press release.
