Tucson, Arizona\u2014January 23, 2008\u2014Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the \u201cCompany\u201d), (OTCBB symbol: LBSU) is pleased to announce it has successfully completed re-entry of seven 1970s-1980s vintage drill holes.\u00a0 Alteration (bleaching) and pyrite mineralization typically associated with breccia pipes was encountered in several of the old holes.\u00a0 Assays from spot core are pending.\u00a0 These holes will be probed, when an appropriate logging truck is available over the next few weeks, to determine uranium content.<\/p>\n

The drill has been moved to the Neola pipe target (Pipe) located about a mile and a third north of the Hack Canyon mines, the largest historic producers in the breccia pipe province. See map on Company webpage)Within the approximate four square mile area encompassing the Neola, Rock Southwest and the Hack Mines there are an estimated thirty-four circular features interpreted to be possible collapse features.\u00a0 All of these have had geochemical soil sampling, scintillometer and or gamma ray spectrometer surveys run over them.\u00a0 Geological mapping has been completed over those features with soil geochemical anomalies.\u00a0 Neola has favorable geology, geochemistry, alteration and radiometric readings thus making it a high priority target.\u00a0 We are using the drilling pattern previously described (NR-60, Nov. 28, 2007) wherein various angle holes will be drilled to define breccia pipe morphology and allow the center of the Pipe to be calculated.\u00a0 The drill will then be set up on the projected center and will drill to depth.\u00a0 Results of this drilling will be reported after its completion and when all the data have been compiled.<\/p>\n

A conditional permit for drilling Helvia and Hafsa in the area of Gala-01 has been issued by the U. S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) subject to an archaeological clearance.\u00a0 The archaeological survey has been completed and a report has been submitted on January 22, 2008 Based on previous archaeological work in this area archaeological clearance will be granted by the end of the January.\u00a0 Weather conditions causing deep impassable mud in those target areas prevented further drilling in mid January.\u00a0 By the time we are done with Neola, we believe weather conditions will allow drilling in the Helvia \u2013 Hafsa area.<\/p>\n

About the Liberty Star North Pipes Super Project<\/p>\n

The 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.\u00a0 Eight mines were brought into production during the 1970s and early 1980s on deposits discovered within the immediate area.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Previously mined mineralization in these pipes has graded about 0.6% to 0.7% uranium or about 12 to 14 pounds per ton.\u00a0 In addition to uranium they are known to contain copper, zinc, silver, vanadium, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, gallium, germanium and other metals.\u00a0 Past producers have recovered copper, silver and vanadium as by-products of uranium mining.\u00a0 Liberty Star Uranium & Metals holds about 300 pipe targets, approximately half the currently identified total.\u00a0 Approximately 22 other companies hold the other half.<\/p>\n
