Selected extracts from NR 178 dated May 20 of this year. Note that emphasis is added.

1. Detailed interpretation of the ZTEM geophysical survey revealed that the anomaly is much larger than previously realized. Based on the analysis of all the data, it is now realized that it could contain the footprint of any of the largest porphyry copper deposits known in North America. Additional geophysical interpretive work on the abundant geophysical data was clearly warranted.
2. The electromagnetic component of the ZTEM system shows conductors going to a depth of at least 1,520m (approx. 5,000 feet), which would be commensurate with the base of the Paleozoic sediments and their depositional contact with the Precambrian basement rocks. This is similar to the mineralization at Bisbee, Christmas, Twin Buttes, ROSEMONT and Morenci, Arizona and Cananea, Mexico, all within about 161 km (100 miles) of Hay Mountain, and all are sediment (skarn) hosted porphyry copper mines.
3. The detailed magnetic component of the ZTEMsurvey allows the three dimensional analysis of the very large magnetic feature which is coincident with the geochemical porphyry copper signature and low resistivity signatures from the electromagnetic (EM) component. This magnetic resonance imaging (MRI – just like physicians use – except in our case it is helicopter borne, not stationary in an office –and of course the scale is different), reveals important details of what is comparable to known mineral bearing skarn in other districts in North and South America, and throughout the world. Skarn (altered limestone – see Liberty Star’s glossary on web site) frequently contains high grade copper, gold, molybdenum, tungsten and other metals. This is a common host for the nearby Bisbee mines where early day production ranged from 7% to 30% copper. Other deposits within about 241 km (150 miles) at Morenci, Silver Bell, Mission, Twin Buttes, Rosemont, Globe and Christmas, Arizona, Chino, New Mexico and Cananea, Mexico and others as well as mines in other parts of the world have similar grades in skarn bodies.
4. The 3D magnetic data suggest the upper part of the skarn bodies lie 30 to 90 meters (approx. 100 to 300 feet) below dirt cover. Their magnetic signature suggests the upper 30 to 90 meters or more is oxidized and copper would be in oxide form that would allow shallow open pit mining, heap leaching solvent extraction and electrowinning (OPHLSXEW) to produce 99.99% wire grade copper as seen at the new Safford, Arizona mine and others. It might also be like the nearby Bisbee deposit which produced an astounding number of museum quality green copper oxide and other mineral specimens of great value.
5. Analysis of the data generated in the studies identified above has made it possible to lay out a targeted drill program. Recent consultation with directional drilling contractors suggests that a significant reduction of the number of drill sites can be made. This will minimize surface disruption and allow the drilling of one mother hole and up to 8 daughter holes from one drill site. This should significantly reduce the cost of drilling, as the directional daughter holes will save penetrating repeatedly to the daughter hole kick off depth. This directional drilling is similar to oil field standard procedure.

Note here too that some other press given to the Rosemont deal reports that when completed, the mine could be the 3rd largest copper producer in the country. ...and Hay Mountain could be larger, and richer? Wow!

Everything else being equal, looks like LBSR could be worth about 45 cents in 2-3 years. But, if Hay Mountain is larger, richer, and if metals prices continue recovering, and if rare earths are found in economic quantities, and... You get the idea, we could be looking at one dollar per share in 2-3 years.

Then, what about Walnut Creek, other targets in the Tombstone area, Silver Bell... It just gets better, doesn't it?
