and attorney Mr. Brett Gross of Denver, Colo. has joined the Liberty

About Mr. Gross:
Mr. Gross is a mining engineer (BS, Ohio State University, 1982; MS,
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1988; PE, Colorado and Alabama) and
attorney (JD, University of Denver, 2001) with over 30 years of
experience, both domestic and international. His work experience
includes surface and underground mining operations, engineering, and
delivery of construction mega-projects across multiple industrial and
commercial markets, and the practice of law related to each of these
sectors. Brett brings a combination of professional skills that benefits
every aspect of Liberty Star???s business. Brett???s engineering career
began at Virginia Tech, with research focused on rock mechanics and the
stability of underground openings, particularly the phenomenon of ???coal
bumps??? and ???rock bursts,??? and studying methods to monitor stress changes
in the longwall barrier pillar during the onset of the active longwall
face. The ensuing years of his career have been intimately involved with
a broad spectrum of engineering, operations, management and project
delivery. Since 2002, Brett has practiced law both in private practice
and as in-house counsel, negotiating and closing complex deals with what
today is among the largest and most successful engineering and
construction firms in the United States.
Jim Briscoe, Liberty Star CEO and Chief Geologist, comments,?????Brett has
a mining background, innovative ideas and solid connections with
investors who may be interested in funding Phase 1 drilling. He has held
LBSR stock for many years, and shares the goal of increasing our stock???s
value through concrete activities toward the development of Hay Mountain
and other projects. He will bring another spectrum to the Board as a
mining engineer experienced in both open pit and underground mines,
entrepreneur mentality, business experience, and legal background
applied to heavy construction and mining agreements and negotiations. A
recent full day, intensive trip to the Company facilities and the Hay
Mountain target and adjacent similar exposed mines a few weeks ago,
reinforced his enthusiasm and faith in Liberty Star and careful approach
to exploration and understanding of mines and mining. We believe Brett
will be a giant addition to our Board of Directors and we look forward
to having him on the team.???
