Liberty Star Minerals (OTCQB:LBSR) announced successful induced polarization (IP) and resistivity testing at its wholly owned Red Rock Canyon Gold Project within Hay Mountain, southeast Arizona, from a July 2025 geophysical test.
The survey detected and mapped gold-bearing veins by showing higher resistivity and higher IP values versus host limestone, linked to siliceous jasperoidal veins and sulfides (pyrite, arsenopyrite). Close-spaced 3-meter data allowed vein thickness, strike and dip estimation to improve pre-drill targeting. A full report will be posted on the company website.
