Black Pine Oxide Gold Project To Advance With The Submission Pre-Plan Of Operations

VANCOUVER - Liberty Gold Corp. announced a significant milestone in the development of its Black Pine Project, located in Cassia and Oneida counties, Idaho. Pilot Gold (USA) Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Gold Corp., has prepared and submitted the mining Pre-Plan of Operations (PPO) for the Black Pine Oxide Gold Project, a critical step in the advancement of the project into the Federal and State permitting process and onwards, towards production.

The Black Pine deposit is situated approximately 5 miles south of Juniper, Idaho, within the United States Forest Service (USFS) Sawtooth National Forest and on adjacent lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from the Pocatello Field Office. The project encompasses a largely contiguous block of 622 unpatented federal lode claims, state minerals, and private properties hosting a multi-million ounce oxide gold mineral resource. Liberty Gold has been exploring the project since acquisition in 2016 and recently completed the major milestone of one thousand exploration holes drilled by the Company on the property.

Liberty Gold is dedicated to responsible, sustainable exploration and mining practices and has embarked on a comprehensive process of planning, engineering, and permitting in close collaboration with regulatory agencies to ensure environmentally sound and sustainable operations. The Company’s second annual ESG report was recently published. The submission of the mining Pre-Plan of Operations for the Black Pine Project to the USFS (acting as lead Federal Agency), BLM and Idaho Governor’s Office of Energy and Mineral Resources, is a further critical step in advancing the project.

The conceptual project entails re-starting conventional open pit mining in pre-existing historical pits, expanding these pits, and developing new open pits in previously unmined areas. The extracted oxide gold mineralization would be processed using the well-established run-of-mine heap leaching method, with gold produced as dore bars on site. The Company is committed to maintaining the highest environmental standards and employing established metallurgical processes that have been used successfully at the Black Pine site and at many other mine sites.
