[{"type":"text","content":"Liberty Gold Confirms Gold Recovery Opportunity in the Legacy Heap at the Black Pine Oxide Gold Project, IdahoUnlocks Potential for Resource and Reserve Expansion\n\n\n\n VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Gold Corp. (TSX: LGD; OTCQX: LGDTF) (“Liberty Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the results of the recently completed sonic drilling program on the legacy heap leach pad (“L-HLP”) at its flagship Black Pine Oxide Gold Project (“Black Pine”) in southeastern Idaho.\n \n\n Drill hole assays confirm the presence of residual, cyanide-soluble gold in the legacy heap, consistent with internal expectations. This highlights a dual opportunity to recover additional gold ounces, while re-purposing the legacy material for use in the construction of the new heap leach pad (“N-HLP”) at Black Pine.\n \n\n The relocation of the legacy heap would also improve the Rangefront open pit design, which for the Preliminary Feasibility Study (“PFS”) included a 50-meter (“m”) setback from the toe of the L-HLP. Removing this setback limit may provide mining access to an estimated ~250,000 ounces of oxide gold mineralization currently defined as resource, on the northern margin of the Rangefront deposit. Furthermore, relocation of the L-HLP would generate an important near-pit exploration opportunity, where historic drilling results suggest oxide gold mineralization continues beneath the legacy heap. A resource estimate for the L-HLP is underway and samples are being prepared for metallurgical testing as part of the feasibility program.\n \n\n See\n \n https://vrify.com/decks/19714\n \n for a dynamic 3D view of sonic drill results and implications for significant value unlock.\n \n\n\n Highlights\n \n :\n \n\n\n The 24-hole, 1,400 m sonic drilling program was completed across the ~31 million tonne legacy heap.\n \n\n Assay results indicate residual gold grades supportive of potential economic reprocessing, with individual samples ranging 0.06 to 1.18 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) with the highest grades occurring near the surface.\n \n\n Potential for reducing construction capital by reuse of the legacy heap material, located close to the site of the N-HLP, as over-liner.\n \n\n...
