Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (OTC:LBSR), dba Liberty Star Minerals said it has initiated a significant phase of exploration at its Hay Mountain project, with Nasco Industrial Services and Supply LLC's drilling crew and equipment now on-site.
The deployment of a track-mounted diamond core drilling rig is part of Liberty Star’s comprehensive drilling plan at Hay Mountain, guided by extensive geochemical and geophysical data.
As preparations, including pad selection and groundwork, are in progress, the rig is actively casing to bedrock on Pad 1, the company said in a statement.
The Hay Mountain project is in the exploration stage, targeting porphyry copper, gold, moly, and other commercially significant minerals. Notably, the project includes Red Rock Canyon, an area exhibiting promising gold mineralization with extensive hydrothermal structures, enhancing Liberty Star's exploration portfolio in Cochise County, Arizona.
Arizona-based Liberty Star is actively engaged in acquiring and exploring mineral properties in the mineral-rich regions of Arizona and the southwestern US.
