8.01 Other Events
On
April 20, 2026, Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp., Dba Liberty Star Minerals (OTCQB: LBSR) (“Liberty Star” or
the “Company”), a U.S. mineral exploration company focused on strategic and commercially important critical minerals in southeast
Arizona, today announced that it has staked an additional 13 mineral exploration permits (MEPs) mining claims covering approximately
11 square miles, increasing its total mineralized footprint to approximately 45 square miles. These are in addition to the previously
announced MEPs from March 10, 2026.
This
ranks Hay Mountain Holdings LLC as the largest mineral footprint in Arizona, not controlled by a large mining company.
The
newly staked MEP claims complete Liberty Star’s planned district-scale consolidation within the Tombstone Mining District, locking
up the full suite of targets identified through its rigorous geologic mapping, rock sampling, and induced polarization (IP) survey program.
The consolidated position now encompasses: Earp Ridge Mines, LLC — multi-mineral claims hosting critical minerals, copper,
and molybdenum (historically Hay Mountain Targets 1 & 2) & Red Rock Mines, LLC — the Company’s world-class
gold target
Every
target the data pointed to is now protected.
“Our
dedicated team followed the geology wherever it led, and then we moved to protect it,” said Pete O’Heeron, Chairman of Liberty
Star Minerals. “Forty-five square miles of multi-mineral opportunities across gold, copper, molybdenum, and critical minerals,
so important to U.S. economic and national security. This positions us to attract a serious mining partner and execute our strategic
plan. This is a district-scale asset in one of the best mining addresses on earth.”
Southeast
Arizona’s porphyry copper belt is among the most prolific mineral-producing regions in the world, consistently generating large-scale
copper-gold-molybdenum discoveries. Arizona is a top-ranked U.S. jurisdiction for copper and critical mineral production — the
kind of address major miners and sovereign investors are actively targeting amid growing U.S. resource security imperatives.
Liberty
Star will provide further updates as fieldwork advances and new assay or geophysical results become available.
