Co. Addresses Infrastructure at Idaho Gold Project
Research Report

Two recent events help the firm in its efforts to secure water and power access for a future mining operation there, noted a Haywood Securities report.

With recent developments, Liberty Gold Corp. (LGD:TSX; LGDTF:OTCQB) further derisked future access to water and power for its Black Pine project in Idaho, reported Haywood Securities analyst Dr. Geordie Mark in a Nov. 29 research note.

"Our take is positive as resource potential is being concurrently married with derisking steps towards a future production outcome," Mark wrote.

He noted that Haywood has a target price on Liberty Gold of CA$2 per share, and this reflects a 413% potential return from the company's current share price (CA$0.39). Haywood rates the Canadian explorer Buy.

Mark relayed the two recent positive events regarding needed infrastructure at Black Pine.

Water Rights Added

"This amount of water far exceeds our projections needed to drive our production-orientated cash flow model," wrote Mark.

First, Liberty Gold bought the registered title to two Black Pine mine water rights, which should afford access to up to 1 cubic millimeter of water per year.

This, along with long-term lease agreements, increases water access there to 4 cubic millimeters per year.

"This amount of water far exceeds our projections needed to drive our production-orientated cash flow model and would enable the facilitation in the growth of that ore ton pad placement rate via the manifestation of a greater resource base (via discovery and or utilization of a lower cutoff grade, or both)," wrote Mark.

Power Scenario OK'd

Second, regarding power, an initial impact system study done by the Idaho Power Distribution Co. was positive for delivery of up to 10 megawatts of power per year to the Black Pine mine gate, Mark reported. Transport would be through a 25-kilowatt line from the Raft River Rural Electric Co-op.

"The transition mechanics, engineering, and costs to enable that distribution are still pending, but these facets mark a company trend to characterize and enable a pathway to project permitting, development and production," Mark noted.

More Areas To Drill

In other news, Liberty Gold applied to the U.S. Forest Service to modify the Black Pine plan of operations. The company did this because the results of a recent gravity survey on the project area showed areas where horst blocks of the basement may be present, meaning drill testing of the lateral extensions of the mineralized system could be done. These areas are in the eastern margin of Black Pine.

Also, at the project, "a sustained campaign of drilling" continues, results of which will be potential near-term catalysts for Liberty Gold's stock, Mark wrote.

"Drilling on Black Pine has gone from strength to strength since the publication of the 2021 mineral resource estimate," he added.
