Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (OTCQB:LBSR) (dba Liberty Star Minerals) said it has completed its registration with the System for Award Management (SAM), the federal government’s centralized platform for eligibility in contracts and grants.
The move enables Liberty Star to compete for federal funding across multiple government agencies, the company told shareholders in a statement.
“Securing SAM registration is about building infrastructure for scale,” said Pete O’Heeron, Liberty Star’s chairman. “It affirms our commitment to operational excellence, regulatory compliance, and our long-term mission to strengthen the US mineral supply chain.”
SAM registration is a requirement for companies seeking to do business with the US government and is considered a foundational step for firms looking to participate in federal procurement and grant programs.
Liberty Star said the registration supports its long-term strategy to expand its presence in the US mineral supply chain and contributes to national priorities around mineral and energy independence.
“This isn’t just a check-the-box achievement—it’s a strategic move,” the company said in a statement. “It enhances our ability to support national priorities, including securing access to critical minerals essential for defense, technology, and clean energy.”
