Liberty Star Minerals to have Mt Baker Mining founder process Red Rock Canyon rock in bid to pour first gold bar Proactive Thu, November 12, 2026 at 1:34 PM EST 2 min read GC=F -2.83% LBSR -0.80% Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (OTCQB:LBSR) said Jason Gaber, founder of Mt. Baker Mining and Metals and host of a widely followed mining YouTube channel, plans to crush and process gold-bearing rock from its Red Rock Canyon Gold Project with the aim of producing the first gold bar poured from the property.
Gaber is expected to visit the southeast Arizona project during the first week of December, the company said. He plans to walk the site with Liberty Star's technical team, examine the exposed gold-bearing veins and jasperoid lenses, and collect fresh rock. Using Mt. Baker equipment, he will crush, mill and concentrate the material to determine how much gold can be recovered, and will document the visit for his channel.
Red Rock Canyon is Liberty Star's flagship gold target in the Tombstone Mining District of Cochise County. Channel sampling has returned bonanza grade gold assays of up to 107.5 grams per ton and 60 grams per ton, the company said.
The gold-bearing veins sit on surface and near surface in limestone and carry pyrite and arsenopyrite, features characteristic of Carlin-style gold systems. Induced polarization survey work has shown the veins carry stronger geophysical signatures than the surrounding host rock, pointing to mineralization continuing at depth.
Chairman Pete O'Heeron said Gaber's audience trusts what it sees on camera, and that processing the material would tell the Red Rock Canyon story "in a way no assay certificate can." He added that Gaber's technical insight would be valuable to the team.
Gaber said he looks forward to seeing the property and running a sample through his equipment to see how much gold can be recovered.
Mt. Baker Mining and Metals, founded by Gaber and his father in 2010, manufactures jaw crushers, hammer mills, shaker tables and turn-key ore processing systems.
The company said the processing is a demonstration of the metallurgical character of the mineralization and is not a resource or reserve estimate. It plans to record sample locations, weights and recoveries, and to share results, images and video with shareholders after the visit.
Liberty Star is a US exploration company focused on strategic and commercially important critical minerals in southeast Arizona.
