Las Vegas, NV, July 24, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Liberty Power Corp. (OTCQB: FLPC), an
innovative and diversified mine exploration and development company
focused on "Mined in America" strategic industrial minerals, today
announced that the Fencemaker/Antimony Mine "Plan of Operation" has
received Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approval. James
Vogan, Director of Stockpile Reserves, LLC (SRL) and Fencemaker
Operations Manager issued the announcement.
Mr. Vogan officially announced that the
Fencemaker Mine operation has received approval for production
operations. Mr. Vogan stated, "While several notices,
modifications and explorations of the Fencemaker Mine have come and
gone over the last seven years, the plan of operation is now in
effect, paving the way for antimony production to begin," Vogan
said. "The last time Fencemaker was fully operational was in
the early 1980's."
In announcing the plan of operations approval,
Vogan addressed the FLPC mining timeline.
"At this point, the outside of the mine is secure and water
removal almost completed," Vogan said. "The final pre-mining
work involves securing the inside of the mine followed by readying
the mine for the first blast for production. We anticipate
that first mine production can begin in early August."
VP operations Bob Reynolds, FLPC congratulated Mr. Vogan and
cited his dedication and perseverance to get the final permit in
place to begin mine operations. "James commented that today
is a great day for SRL and all those who have worked so hard to
achieve this milestone in the history of the Fencemaker mine.
It was with his leadership and many other talented people who
worked as a team that First Liberty Power is delighted to announce
this accomplishment along with our strategic partner, SRL."
Mr. Reynolds provided a further announcement
that he and Mr. Vogan recently participated in a conference with
the Defense Logistics Agency - Strategic Materials (DLA SM) and the
Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA). The purpose of the
conference was to elicit industry input for a focused assessment of
downstream material supply chain "weak links" of antimony for the
2015 NDS Requirements Report.
"We were pleased to participate in this
conference about the future of antimony supply," Reynolds
said. "The fact that FLPC and SRL were invited to participate
in this conference, alongside a number of highly-regarded companies
and government representatives are indicative of our emerging
prominence in the antimony mining industry."
To generate awareness of the DLA SM/ IDA
Requirements Report, FLPC has placed the public version of their
2013 report on Strategic and Critical Materials on Stockpile
Requirements on the First Liberty Power website. To
