TUCSON, AZ, Sept. 27, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Star Minerals ("Liberty Star" or the "Company") (OTCPK: LBSR) today announced that James A. Briscoe (78) has resigned as Director of Liberty Star, effective September 23, 2019. He will continue to work with other companies in which he retains interests and with Liberty Star as a geological consultant, as such needs arise in the future.

"Jim's impact on Liberty Star since its founding in 2003, when he provided the inspiration and geological expertise to establish several mineral exploration projects in Alaska and Arizona, has been substantial," said Brett Gross, the Company's chief executive officer. "Over his extensive career, Jim is responsible for the discovery of several important mining sites throughout North America. We foresee Liberty Star's current premier property, the Hay Mountain Project, becoming his largest and most important discovery and the epicenter of a world class copper – gold – moly mining district."
