About the Liberty Star North Pipes Super Project
\nThe 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 40% of the currently identified total.\u00a0 Approximately 22 other companies hold the remainder.<\/p>\n
