Liberty Commissions Third Ball Mill at the Redstone Concentrator


Edmonton, Alberta CANADA, May 20, 2010 /FSC/ - Liberty Mines Inc. (LBE - TSX), ("Liberty or the Company") is pleased to announce the commissioning of the third ball mill at the Redstone nickel concentrator ("Mill") located 25km S.E. of Timmins, Ontario. The Mill easily processed 80 tonnes per hour or 1,920 tonnes per day and had additional capacity which was not tested.


The additional capacity of the Mill was completed on schedule to enable ore from the McWatters open pit to be concentrated starting the first week of June 2010. The drilling and blasting contractor has agreed to mobilize to the McWatters site on June 2, and mining is expected to begin shortly thereafter.


Gary Nash, Liberty's President & CEO, commented: "Re-commissioning our Mill to design capacity and bringing on the McWatters open pit are important steps in our 2010 mining plan to exploit and process 1,800 tonnes of ore per day. When the core of the pit is exploited, sublevel caving of the underground orebody can provide the tonnage necessary to continue to operate the Mill at the desired rate."
