[{"type":"text","content":" 0.60 g/t Au over 80.8 m including 1.47 g/t Au over 13.7 m in LBP750 Future process water and access for mine infrastructure secured VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Gold Corp. (TSX: LGD; OTCQX: LGDTF) (“Liberty Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to report new exploration drill results from its Black Pine oxide gold project in southeastern Idaho, together with a summary of 2022 activities. These results form part of a 324 hole, 67,000 metre (“m”) 2022 reverse circulation (“RC”) and core drilling program at Black Pine to upgrade and expand the current mineral resource and discover new oxide gold mineralization. Project de-risking activities have progressed in parallel with resource delineation drilling at Black Pine, with the objective of front-end loading technical work in advance of the mine permitting phase. New Drilling Highlights: Extended shallow mineralization along the southern edge of the Discovery Zone: 0.60 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) over 80.8 m from 24.4 m to 105.2 m, including 1.47 g/t Au over 13.7 m in LBP750 Completed resource delineation drilling in the F Zone: 0.47 g/t Au over 47.2 m from 9.1 m to 56.4 m in LBP744 Further defined oxide gold mineralization in the A Basin surficial waste rock storage area: 0.30 g/t Au over 33.5 m from 1.5 m to 35.1 m in LBP675 Discovered a new, shallow zone of oxide gold mineralization in the Bobcat target: 0.64 g/t Au over 19.8 m from surface in LBP761 Drilled the South Rangefront target located approximately 500 m south of the southern edge of the Rangefront Zone: 0.57 g/t Au over 51.8 m in LBP708 2022 De-risking Activities: Expansion of mineralization in the F, E, M, CD and Rangefront zones (see press releases dated November 8 and November 15, 2022) including areas of shallow higher-grade mineralization that may serve to consolidate smaller pits into fewer, larger ones and change the grade profile of the early years of mining. Acquisition of strategic Idaho State (Section 36) and private mineral rights which have the potential to provide access for future mine infrastructure development (see press release dated February 10, 2022). Drilled 14 large-diameter (“PQ”) metallurgical core holes, generating composites from throughout the property for column testing; results expected over the second half of 2023 (see press release dated August 2...
