Xstate Resources (ASX:XST)
Historical Stock Chart
From Dec 2019 to Dec 2024
Liberty Star Gold Corp (the “Company”)
(OTCBB:LBTS) is pleased to announce that the Elle Joint Venture with
XState Resources Limited (ASX:XST) (previously OCR Minerals) has
completed Rotary Drill Hole (RDH) Elle 01 to a depth of 2,000 feet as of
Friday, February 23, 2007, the first hole of its three Pipe drilling
program. The drill has now moved to the Hada Pipe geophysical target,
which lays approximately 4,000 feet North West of RDH Elle 01. The drill
started Monday morning, February 26. It is now at a depth of 865 feet.
It has penetrated the Moenkopi formation and the Kaibab limestone, and
is in the Toroweap formation, which overlies the Coconino sandstone
followed by the Hermit shale, the target horizons.
The drilling on Elle 01 went so rapidly —
twice the driller’s expected rate —
that the geologic team is still catching up with logging and data
compilation. The in-hole geophysical team is expected to arrive on
Friday, March 2. They will begin electrical geophysics known as TEM,
which will look outward from the hole a distance of 200 to 400 feet to
determine the presence of anomalies thought to be associated with
uranium. We will therefore be able to geophysically search a 2,000 foot
column of rock with a diameter of 400 to 800 feet. If targets are
identified, they will be tested with directional diamond drilling. When
this work is complete and all the data, including the drill hole data
from RDH Elle 01, has been compiled, the results will be announced. The
Hada 01 hole will be probed in a similar fashion, as will subsequent
drilling. Surface geophysics will be undertaken by the same team and
equipment in between drill hole surveys.
Like RDH Elle 01, RDH Hada 01 drill hole is eight inches in diameter and
drilled with air circulation. Directional surveys will be taken every
100 feet as a part of a standard operating procedure in order to keep
the hole as near vertical as possible — an
important aspect which allows them to hit specified targets.

The Elle Joint Venture breccia pipes are part of the large uranium
bearing breccia pipe terrain which occurs on the Arizona Strip lying
just south of the Utah border. Eight mines were brought into production
during the 1970s and early 1980s on deposits discovered within the
immediate area. The uranium bearing pipes which were mined are the
second highest grade uranium mineral deposits in the world and the
highest grade in the United States. Previously mined mineralization in
these pipes has graded about 0.6% to 0.7% uranium or about 12 to 14
pounds per ton. In addition to uranium, they are known to contain
copper, zinc, silver, vanadium, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, gallium,
germanium and other metals. Past producers have recovered copper, silver
and vanadium as by-products of uranium mining.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
Statements in this news release that are not historical are
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this news
release include that the in-hole geophysical team is expected to arrive
on Friday, March 2; that they will begin electrical geophysics know as
TEM, which will look outward from the hole a distance of 200 to 400 feet
to determine the presence of anomalies thought to be associated with
uranium; that we will be able to geophysically search a 2,000 foot
column of rock with a diameter of 400 to 800 feet; and that if targets
are identified, they will be tested with directional diamond drilling.
It is important to note that the Company’s
actual outcomes may differ materially from those statements contained in
this press release. Factors which may delay or prevent these
forward-looking statements from being realized include misinterpretation
of data; that we may not be able to get equipment or labor as we need
it; that we may not be able to raise sufficient funds to complete our
intended exploration; that we may be unable to agree with our joint
venture partners as to the work to be performed; that our application to
drill may be denied; that weather, logistical problems or hazards may
prevent us from exploration; that equipment may not work as well as
expected; that analysis of data may not be possible accurately and at
depth; that results which we or others have found in any particular
location are not necessarily indicative of larger areas of our property;
and that despite encouraging data there may be no commercially
exploitable mineralization on our properties. Readers should refer to
the risk disclosures outlined in the Company’s
most recent 10-KSB and the Company’s other
periodic reports filed from time to time with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
