06:37 AM EDT, 09/26/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Liberty Gold ( LGDTF ) overnight Wednesday said it has received a Hardrock Prospector Permit (HPP) covering four areas directly adjacent to its Black Pine Oxide Gold Project in southern Idaho.

The four HPP areas add 7.1 km2 of key exploration and development ground in the centre and south of the known mineralized area of the Black Pine project, and expands the project area by 10% to 69.3 km2. It is anticipated that initial drilling will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, in parts of the new HPP areas, Liberty said.
