Item 8.01 Other Events
On July 09, 2024, Liberty Star Minerals listed on the OTCQB Markets: LBSR, (Company) updated initial channel sampling assay results to date from its wholly owned Red Rock Canyon Gold Project (RRC) within its Hay Mountain Project in southeast Arizona. The RRC may possess commercially important metals associated with porphyry copper-gold-moly geologic structures, well represented in the area from central Arizona to northern Mexico. The presence of bonanza grade gold on this first outing is consistent with findings from previous investigations of the area (2020 / 2021 geochemical sampling). Overall, these findings reinforce the Company’s expectation that the RRC may possess significant quantities of near surface high grade gold.
Results are from channel samples across 23 jasperoid lenses, comprising 116 samples total, including QA/QC samples submitted to the ALS Labs facility in Tucson, Arizona. Channel sampling continues in the area with additional samples expected to go the ALS lab in about two weeks.
Recent field work has identified numerous sub crops of jasperoid represented on the surface by elongated zones of iron oxide-stained jasper and jasper breccia float. Additional specific samples will be collected and analyzed to facilitate planning for a future, mechanized phase of the project.
Chief Geologist Jim Bryce comments, “This is exciting news, with over 30% of the lenses sampled so far reporting more than 1.5 g/t Au over their full widths, and those that don’t are still mineralized. The scattered high to bonanza grades encountered are correlating well with historical chip sampling on some of the lenses ranging from 14.9 g/t to 85.8 g/t. Our next steps will be to continue with the channel sampling and begin to get this information into a 3D modelling software to better understand the RRC mineralization and plan for future work on the site. The information gained by this survey will be instrumental in helping us to expand the known mineralization at RRC through drilling. The grades we have seen to date indicate the presence of a broad, epithermal gold system within the RRC boundaries. This system is almost certainly related to the suspected copper/gold porphyry system nearby in the Hay Mountain property.”
