Strange? Why did Liberty wait a month to amend? Could it be that they expect a rise in stock price? Could it be there will be an announcement of a partnership soon that will drive the stock price up?

Time will tell.....Or maybe nothing?

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the “Company”), hereby respectfully requests that the Company’s Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration Statement No. 333-209076) (which registered for resale securities of an “equity line” financing arrangement), and all exhibits thereto, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 29, 2017 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”), be withdrawn effective immediately pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company wishes to withdraw the Post-Effective Amendment in light of the fact that the Company’s common stock is now quoted only on the OTC Pink marketplace, and in response to the letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission to James A. Briscoe, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, dated October 17, 2017. The Company intends to re-file a post-effective amendment after the Company’s common stock is re-quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Post-Effective Amendment has not been declared effective and no securities of the Company were sold pursuant to the Post-Effective Amendment.
