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 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.

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.

As part of its commitment to excellence, Liberty Gold announced the selection of M3 Engineering, an international engineering firm with a wealth of experience in large-scale mining operations and environmental stewardship, as the Lead Engineer for the Black Pine Oxide Gold Project. The M3 Engineering team brings an impressive track record of success in designing, constructing, and overseeing multiple mining projects of a similar nature to that proposed at Black Pine, while prioritizing environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance.
