PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in the common stock of Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (referred to herein as the “Company,” “Liberty Star,” “we,” “our,” and “us”). You should carefully read the entire Prospectus, including “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial statements before making an investment decision.

Business Overview

We were formerly Liberty Star Gold Corp. and formerly Titanium Intelligence, Inc. (“Titanium”). Titanium was incorporated on August 20, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 5, 2004 we commenced operations in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business. Big Chunk Corp. (“Big Chunk”) is our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on December 14, 2003 in the State of Alaska. Big Chunk is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business in the State of Alaska. Redwall Drilling Inc. (“Redwall”) was our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on August 31, 2007 in the State of Arizona. Redwall performed drilling services on the Company’s mineral properties. Redwall ceased drilling activities in July 2008 and was dissolved on March 30, 2010. In April 2007, we changed our name to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. to reflect our current efforts on uranium, copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc and other mineral and metal exploration. We are considered to be an exploration stage company, as we have not generated any revenues from operations. A more detailed discussion of this technology and its anticipated benefits is provided under the section “Description of Business”.

Our common stock is traded over-the-counter on the OTCBB under the ticker symbol “LBSR.”

On January 19, 2012, we entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Fairhills Capital Offshore Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Fairhills”). Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, Fairhills shall commit to purchase up to Ten Million ($10,000,000) Dollars of our common stock over a period of up to thirty-six (36) months.

On May 1, 2012, we entered into an amendment to the Investment Agreement (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Investment Agreement will only expire upon any of the following events: (i) when the Investor has purchased an aggregate of Ten Million dollars ($10,000,000) in the Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Investment Agreement; or (ii) on the date which is thirty-six (36) months after the effective date of the Investment Agreement; or (iii) at such time that the Registration Statement registering the shares of common stock contemplated by the Investment Agreement is no longer in effect. In addition, the Company may terminate the Investment Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice.

In connection with the Investment Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Fairhills. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) covering 185,000,000 shares of the common stock underlying the Investment Agreement within 21 days after the closing of the Investment Agreement. In addition, we are obligated to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 120 days after the closing of the Investment Agreement and maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until termination in accordance with the Investment Agreement.

At an assumed purchase price under the Investment Agreement of $0.01305 (equal to 72.5% of the closing price of our common stock of $0.018 on May 30 2012), we will be able to receive up to $2,414,250 in gross proceeds, assuming the sale of the entire 185,000,000 Shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the Investment Agreement. At an assumed purchase price of $0.01305 under the Investment Agreement, we would be required to register 581,283,525 additional shares to obtain the balance of $7,585,750 under the Investment Agreement. We are currently authorized to issue 1,250,000,000 shares of our common stock. Fairhills has agreed to refrain from holding an amount of shares which would result in Fairhills owning more than 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock at any one time.

There are substantial risks to investors as a result of the issuance of shares of our common stock under the Investment Agreement. These risks include dilution of stockholders, significant decline in our stock price and our inability to draw sufficient funds when needed.

Fairhills will periodically purchase our common stock under the Investment Agreement and will, in turn, sell such shares to investors in the market at the market price. This may cause our stock price to decline, which will require us to issue increasing numbers of common shares to Fairhills to raise the same amount of funds, as our stock price declines.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this Prospectus before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this Prospectus that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements".

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

BECAUSE OF THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF THE EXPLORATION OF NATURAL RESOURCE PROPERTIES, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL RISK THAT THIS BUSINESS WILL FAIL.

There is no assurance that any of the claims we explore or acquire will contain commercially exploitable reserves of minerals. Exploration for natural resources is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. We may also become subject to significant liability for pollution or hazards, which we cannot insure or which we may elect not to insure. There is substantial risk that our business will fail.

IF WE CANNOT COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY FOR FINANCING AND FOR QUALIFIED MANAGERIAL AND TECHNICAL EMPLOYEES, OUR EXPLORATION PROGRAM MAY SUFFER.

Our competition in the mining industry includes large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire additional financing on terms we consider acceptable because investors may choose to invest in our competitors instead of investing in us. We also compete with other mining companies in the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. Our success will be largely dependent on our ability to hire and retain highly qualified personnel. These individuals are in high demand and we may not be able to attract the personnel we need. We may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or may lose such employees after they are hired. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our exploration program may be slowed down or suspended.

EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION ACTIVITIES ARE SUBJECT TO COMPREHENSIVE REGULATION WHICH MAY CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL DELAYS OR REQUIRE CAPITAL OUTLAYS IN EXCESS OF THOSE ANTICIPATED CAUSING AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR COMPANY.

Exploration and exploitation activities are subject to federal, state, and local laws, regulations and policies, including laws regulating the removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Exploration and exploitation activities are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment.

Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental and other legal standards imposed by federal, state, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may prevent us from conducting planned activities or increase our costs of doing so, which would have material adverse effects on our business. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may not be able to or elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. Any laws, regulations or policies of any government body or regulatory agency may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will alter and negatively affect our ability to carry on our business.

THERE ARE NO KNOWN RESERVES OF MINERALS ON OUR MINERAL CLAIMS AND WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL FIND ANY COMMERCIAL QUANTITIES OF MINERALS.

We have not found any mineral reserves on our claims and there can be no assurance that any of our mineral claims contain commercial quantities of any minerals. Even if we identify commercial quantities of minerals in any of our claims, there can be no assurance that we will be able to exploit the reserves or, if we are able to exploit them, that we will do so on a profitable basis.

BECAUSE THE PROBABILITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL PROSPECT EVER HAVING RESERVES IS EXTREMELY REMOTE, ANY FUNDS SPENT ON EXPLORATION WILL PROBABLY BE LOST.

The probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote. In all probability our properties do not contain any reserves. As such, any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost which would most likely result in a loss of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY

WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND AS A RESULT THERE IS NO ASSURANCE WE CAN OPERATE ON A PROFITABLE BASIS.

We have a limited operating history and must be considered in the exploration stage. Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of an exploration stage enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises, especially those with a limited operating history. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claim may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations of rock or land and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claim and acquire new claims for new exploration or cease operations. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon us possessing capital resources at the time in order to purchase such claims. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations. No assurance can be given that we will ever operate on a profitable basis.

IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL AND OUR INVESTORS COULD LOSE THEIR INVESTMENT.

We had cash in the amount of $155,869 and negative working capital of $(4,287,593) as of January 31, 2012. We currently do not generate revenues from our operations. Our business plan calls for substantial investment and cost in connection with the acquisition and exploration of our mineral properties currently under lease and option. Any direct acquisition of any of the claims under lease or option is subject to our ability to obtain the financing necessary for us to fund and carry out exploration programs on the subject properties. The requirements are substantial. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing in addition to the Northern Dynasty Secured Convertible Note and the Fairhills Capital financing agreement. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on their investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including market prices for minerals, investor acceptance of our properties, contractual restrictions on our ability to enter into further financing arrangements, and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us and our business could fail.

BECAUSE THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL GENERATE REVENUES, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.

We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this filing and have never been profitable. We do not have an interest in any revenue generating properties. We were incorporated on August 20, 2001 and took over our current business on February 5, 2004. To date we have been involved primarily in organizational and exploration activities. We will incur substantial operating and exploration expenditures without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We have limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss from inception to January 31, 2012 is $(61,431,261). We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from our activities, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. Based upon current plans, we also expect to incur significant operating losses in the future. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in raising capital to fund these operating losses or generate revenues in the future. We can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail and our investors could lose their investment.

OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM'S REPORT STATES THAT THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP, state in their audit report attached to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 that since we are an exploration stage company, have no established source of revenue and are dependent on our ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations, there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

THE EXISTENCE OF OUR MINING CLAIMS DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO FUND EXPLORATORY ACTIVITY OR TO PAY FEES.

Our mining claims, which are the central part of our business, require that we either pay fees, or incur certain minimum development costs annually, or the claims will be forfeited. Due to our current financial situation we may not be able to meet these obligations and we could therefore lose our claims. This would impair our ability to raise capital and would negatively impact the value of the Company.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

BECAUSE WE WILL LIKELY ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK, INVESTMENT IN OUR COMPANY COULD BE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION.

Investors' interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share when we issue additional shares. Our constating documents previously authorized the issuance of up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. At our shareholder meeting held on May 27, 2009 the shareholders voted to increase the number of authorized shares to 10,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. We filed a certificate of amendment on June 4, 2009 to increase the number of authorized shares to 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. On September 1, 2009 we completed a one for four reverse stock split of our authorized and outstanding common stock resulting in a decrease in authorized shares to 1,250,000,000 with a par value of $0.00001. As of January 31, 2012, there were 635,899,389 of our common shares issued and outstanding. We anticipate that all or at least some of our future funding, if any, will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. If we do sell more common stock, investors' investment in our company will likely be diluted. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in our company's common stock could seriously decline in value.

THE SALE OF OUR STOCK UNDER THE CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND THE COMMON SHARE PURCHASE WARRANTS COULD ENCOURAGE SHORT SALES BY THIRD PARTIES, WHICH COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE FUTURE DECLINE OF OUR STOCK PRICE.

In many circumstances, the provision of financing based on the distribution of equity for companies that are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board has the potential to cause a significant downward pressure on the price of common stock. This is especially the case if the shares being placed into the market exceed the market's ability to take up the increased stock or if we have not performed in such a manner to show that the equity funds raised will be used to grow our business. Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. Regardless of our activities, the opportunity exists for short sellers and others to contribute to the future decline of our stock price. If there are significant short sales of our common stock, the price decline that would result from this activity will cause the share price to decline more, which may cause other shareholders of the stock to sell their shares, thereby contributing to sales of common stock in the market. If there are many more shares of our common stock on the market for sale than the market will absorb, the price of our common shares will likely decline.

TRADING IN OUR COMMON STOCK ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD IS LIMITED AND SPORADIC MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR OUR SHAREHOLDERS TO SELL THEIR SHARES OR LIQUIDATE THEIR INVESTMENTS.

Our common stock is currently listed for public trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. The trading price of our common stock has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common stock may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common stock will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.

OUR BY-LAWS CONTAIN PROVISIONS INDEMNIFYING OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AGAINST ALL COSTS, CHARGES AND EXPENSES INCURRED BY THEM.

Our By-laws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been one of our directors or officers.

OUR BY-LAWS DO NOT CONTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CHANGE OF OUR MANAGEMENT AND DIRECTORS IF THERE IS A TAKE-OVER OF OUR COMPANY.

We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our By-laws. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a take-over of our company, which may result in a change in our management and directors. This could result in a disruption to the activities of our company, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS ON ANY INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OF STOCK OF OUR COMPANY AND ANY GAIN ON AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMPANY WILL NEED TO COME THROUGH AN INCREASE IN OUR STOCK'S PRICE, WHICH MAY NEVER HAPPEN.

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock's price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

BECAUSE OUR SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK RULES, YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY RESELLING YOUR SHARES.

Our shares as penny stocks, are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our company's securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. These rules apply to companies whose shares are not traded on a national stock exchange or on the Nasdaq system, trade at less than $5.00 per share, or who do not meet certain other financial requirements specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These rules require brokers who sell "penny stocks" to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" to complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors, and provide investors with certain information concerning the risks of trading in such penny stocks. These rules may discourage or restrict the ability of brokers to sell our shares of common stock and may affect the secondary market for our shares of common stock. These rules could also hamper our ability to raise funds in the primary market for our shares of common stock.

FINRA SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as "FINRA") has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

FAIRHILLS WILL PAY LESS THAN THE THEN-PREVAILING MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK.

The common stock to be issued to Fairhills pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be purchased at a 27.5% discount from the volume weighted average trading price of our stock for the five (5) trading days before Fairhills receives our notice of sale. Fairhills has a financial incentive to sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If Fairhills sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease. If our stock price decreases, Fairhills may have a further incentive to sell the shares of our common stock that it holds. These sales may have a further impact on our stock price.

YOUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST MAY BE DILUTED AND THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY DECLINE BY EXERCISING THE PUT RIGHT PURSUANT TO THE INVESTMENT AGREEMENT.

Effective January 19, 2012, we entered into a $10,000,000 Investment Agreement with Fairhills. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, when we deem it necessary, we may raise capital through the private sale of our common stock to Fairhills at a price equal to a 27.5% discount from the weighted average trading price of our stock for the five (5) trading days before Fairhills receives our notice of sale. Because the put price is lower than the prevailing market price of our common stock, to the extent that the put right is exercised, your ownership interest may be diluted.

WE ARE REGISTERING AN AGGREGATE OF 185,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK TO BE ISSUED UNDER THE INVESTMENT AGREEMENT. THE SALE OF SUCH SHARES COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

We are registering an aggregate of 185,000,000 Shares of common stock under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part for issuance pursuant to the Investment Agreement. Notwithstanding Fairhills' ownership limitation, the 185,000,000 Shares would represent approximately 22.3% of our shares of common stock outstanding immediately after our exercise of the put right under the Investment Agreement. The sale of these Shares into the public market by Fairhills could depress the market price of our common stock.

At an assumed purchase price under the Investment Agreement of $0.01305 (equal to 72.5% of the closing price of our common stock of $0.018 on May 30, 2012), we will be able to receive up to $2,414,250 in gross proceeds, assuming the sale of the entire 185,000,000 Shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the Investment Agreement. At an assumed purchase price of $0.01305 under the Investment Agreement, we would be required to register 581,283,525 additional shares to obtain the balance of $7,585,750 under the Investment Agreement. Due to the floating offering price, we are not able to determine the exact number of shares that we will issue under the Investment Agreement.

WE MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE FULL AMOUNT AVAILABLE UNDER THE INVESTMENT AGREEMENT.

We have not drawn down funds and have not issued shares of our common stock under the Investment Agreement with Fairhills. Our ability to draw down funds and sell shares under the Investment Agreement requires that the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, be declared effective by the SEC, and that this registration statement continue to be effective. In addition, the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part registers 185,000,000 Shares issuable under the Investment Agreement, and our ability to access the Investment Agreement to sell any remaining shares issuable under the Investment Agreement is subject to our ability to prepare and file one or more additional registration statements registering the resale of these shares. These subsequent registration statements may be subject to review and comment by the staff of the SEC, and will require the consent of our independent registered public accounting firm. Therefore, the timing of effectiveness of these subsequent registration statements cannot be assured. The effectiveness of these subsequent registration statements is a condition precedent to our ability to sell the shares of common stock subject to these subsequent registration statements to Fairhills under the Investment Agreement. Even if we are successful in causing one or more registration statements registering the resale of some or all of the shares issuable under the Investment Agreement to be declared effective by the SEC in a timely manner, we will not be able to sell shares under the Investment Agreement unless certain other conditions are met. Accordingly, because our ability to draw down amounts under the Investment Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee that we will be able to draw down any portion or all of the $10,000,000 available to us under the Investment Agreement.

CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE EXTENT OF PUTS AND THE DELIVERY OF ADVANCE NOTICES MAY HAVE LITTLE, IF ANY, EFFECT ON THE ADVERSE IMPACT OF OUR ISSUANCE OF SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH THE INVESTMENT AGREEMENT, AND AS SUCH, FAIRHILLS MAY SELL A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES, RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO THE VALUE OF SHARES HELD BY EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS.

Fairhills has agreed, subject to certain exceptions listed in the Investment Agreement, to refrain from holding an amount of shares which would result in Fairhills or its affiliates owning more than 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock at any one time. These restrictions, however, do not prevent Fairhills from selling shares of common stock received in connection with a put, and then receiving additional shares of common stock in connection with a subsequent put. In this way, Fairhills could sell more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than 4.99% at one time.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. When used in this Prospectus or in any other presentation, statements which are not historical in nature, including the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “project,” “plan” or “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. They also include statements containing a projection of revenues, earnings or losses, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure or other financial terms.

The forward-looking statements in this Prospectus are based upon our management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future operations and economic performance, taking into account the information currently available to them. These statements are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to us that may cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance or financial condition we express or imply in any forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current plans and expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks that could significantly affect current plans and expectations and our future financial condition and results.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this Prospectus might not occur. We qualify any and all of our forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors. As a consequence, current plans, anticipated actions and future financial conditions and results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on our behalf. You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented herein.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Shares by the selling stockholder. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of securities pursuant to the Investment Agreement. The proceeds received from any “Puts” tendered to Fairhills under the Investment Agreement will be used for payment of general corporate and operating expenses.

DILUTION

The sale of our common stock to Fairhills in accordance with the Investment Agreement will have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, our net loss per share could increase in future periods and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put option, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to Fairhills in order to drawdown pursuant to the Investment Agreement. If our stock price decreases during the Pricing Period, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDER

We are registering for resale shares of our common stock that are issued and outstanding held by the selling stockholder identified below. We are registering the Shares to permit the selling stockholder and its pledgees, doneesand other successors-in-interest that receive their shares from the selling stockholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer after the date of this Prospectus to resell the shares when and as they deem appropriate in the manner described in the “Plan of Distribution.” As of the date of this Prospectus there are 642,631,457 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

The following table sets forth:

the name of the selling stockholder,
the number of shares of our common stock that the selling stockholder beneficially owned prior to the offering for resale of the shares under this Prospectus,
the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be offered for resale for the account of the selling stockholder under this Prospectus, and
the number and percentage of shares of our common stock to be beneficially owned by the selling stockholder after the offering of the shares (assuming all of the offered shares are sold by the selling stockholder).

The selling stockholder has never served as our officer or director or any of its predecessors or affiliates within the last three years, nor has the selling stockholder had a material relationship with us.

The selling stockholder is neither a broker-dealer nor an affiliate of a broker-dealer. The selling stockholder did not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, to distribute any of the shares being registered at the time of purchase.

The selling stockholder may offer for sale all or part of the shares from time to time. The table below assumes that the selling stockholder will sell all of the shares offered for sale. A selling stockholder is under no obligation, however, to sell any shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

Name	Shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned prior to Offering (1)	Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock to be Offered	Number of Shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned after Offering	Percent Ownership after Offering

Fairhills Capital Offshore Ltd. (2)	185,000,000	185,000,000	0	0%

__________________

(1)	Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, securities that are currently convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock, or convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock within 60 days of the date hereof are deemed outstanding. Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as indicated in the footnotes to the following table, each stockholder named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such stockholder’s name.

(2)	As the General Partner, Fairhills Capital Offshore, LP, which is controlled by Edward Bronson, Managing Member, has the voting and dispositive power over the shares owned by Fairhills Capital Offshore Ltd.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholder and any of its respective pledges, donees, assignees and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
privately negotiated transactions;
short sales after this registration statement becomes effective;
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
through the writing of options on the shares;
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholder or any of its respective pledgees, donees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The selling stockholder cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, are "underwriters" as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and regulations under such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act of 1933.

The selling stockholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgee or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or any other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledge or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this Prospectus.

The selling stockholder also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledge or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

Fairhills has agreed to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock.

The selling stockholder acquired the securities offered hereby in the ordinary course of business and have advised us that it has not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of its shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder. If we are notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.

If the selling stockholder uses this Prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.

Regulation M

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling stockholder.

During such time as it may be engaged in a distribution of any of the shares we are registering by this registration statement, Fairhills is required to comply with Regulation M. In general, Regulation M precludes any selling security holder, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M defines a "distribution" as an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods. Regulation M also defines a "distribution participant" as an underwriter, prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has agreed to participate or who is participating in a distribution.

Regulation M under the Exchange Act prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the security. We have informed Fairhills that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M may apply to the sales of their shares offered by this prospectus, and we have also advised Fairhills of the requirements for delivery of this prospectus in connection with any sales of the common stock offered by this prospectus.

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Fairhills shall not sell stock short, either directly or indirectly through its affiliates, principals or advisors, our common stock during the term of this Agreement.

Effective November 17, 2011, Mr. Othon resigned as a director and Vice President, Global Business Development of our company. As such, Mr. Othon’s unexercised options consisting of 2,500,000 securities underlying such options were cancelled on February 17, 2012.

On January 10, 2012 the Company granted incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to certain of our directors, officers, employees and consultants to purchase an aggregate of 10,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.027 per share for a term expiring on January 10, 2022. The options were 50% vested upon granting. The options will vest another 25% on the one year anniversary of the date of grant. The options will vest another 25% on the two year anniversary of the date of grant. The options that were vested immediately may be exercised using a cash-less exercise formula.

Convertible Notes

On July 15, 2010, we issued a secured convertible promissory note (the “2010 Convertible Note”) to Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd (“Northern Dynasty”). The original advanced amount is $4,000,000 and bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum compounded monthly (the “Loan”). On August 17, 2010, we transferred 95 of our Alaska State mineral claims from the Big Chunk Super Project to Northern Dynasty for consideration of $1,000,000 of the original advanced amount under the Convertible Note, leaving $3,000,000 of the Loan amount outstanding. No interest accrued on the $1,000,000 of the original advanced amount. Effective September 1, 2011 the agreement with Northern Dynasty was amended to increase the 2010 Convertible Note by $561,816 to reimburse Northern Dynasty for assessment work, rental fees, cash in lieu of assessment work and filing fees on the mineral claims that was paid in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012 because we could not come to an agreement on an earn-in option and joint venture agreement with Northern Dynasty. On February 29, 2012, with effect from November 30, 2011, we executed an additional convertible promissory note (the “2011 Convertible Note” and together with the 2010 Convertible Note, the “Convertible Notes”) in the amount of $168,358 in reimbursement to Northern Dynasty of assessment work, rental fees and filing fees on our mineral claims. Principal balance of the Convertible Notes at January 31, 2012 and 2011 was $3,730,174 and $3,000,000 respectively. Accrued interest on the Convertible Notes at January 31, 2012 and 2011 was $526,971 and $164,383, respectively.

As part of the transactions noted above, we entered into a letter agreement with Northern Dynasty whereby, subject to negotiating and signing a definitive earn-in option and joint venture agreement, Northern Dynasty can earn a 60% interest in our Big Chunk and Bonanza Hills projects in Alaska (the “Joint Venture Claims”) by spending $10,000,000 on those properties over six years. The outstanding loan amounts from Northern Dynasty may be applied as part of Northern Dynasty’s earn-in requirements. Northern Dynasty’s minimum annual expenditures under the earn-in would be the minimum level necessary to keep the Joint Venture Claims in good standing. Northern Dynasty may elect to abandon the earn-in at any time on 30 days’ notice, so long as sufficient annual labor is performed, or a cash payment in lieu of labor is made, in order to fulfill the annual labor requirements for the Joint Venture Claims for a minimum of 12 months after termination of the earn-in. To date, no joint venture agreement has been agreed upon and as such, Northern Dynasty may demand payment of the funds due under the Convertible Notes at any time upon 45 days notice.

The Convertible Notes are secured against our Big Chunk and Bonanza Hills property. The Convertible Notes are due for repayment 45 days after the earlier to occur of: (i) Northern Dynasty’s completion of its earn-in to the Joint Venture Claims unless it has elected to deem the entire outstanding balance of the Convertible Note (including interest thereon) to be part of the earn-in expenditure requirements and (ii) termination of Northern Dynasty’s earn-in right by voluntary abandonment provided that $1,000,000 in expenditures has been made; or (iii) termination of Northern Dynasty’s earn-in right on account of a superior third party joint venture offer.

Provided a minimum of $1,000,000 has been expended by Northern Dynasty on earn in expenses, the Convertible Notes will be convertible until repaid or deemed repaid, into common shares of our company at the 5 day volume weighted average trading price immediately prior to Northern Dynasty giving a notice of conversion less the maximum allowable discount applicable as if our shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. At January 31, 2012, Northern Dynasty has expended $712,756 of the $1,000,000 earn in expenses. The Convertible Note may be pre-paid by our company without penalty at any time on 10 days prior notice during which time Northern Dynasty’s conversion rights are unaffected.

Dividends

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on shares of our capital stock. We currently intend to retain earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, cash needs and growth plans.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Business development

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. was formerly Liberty Star Gold Corp. and formerly Titanium Intelligence, Inc. ("Titanium"). Titanium was incorporated on August 20, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 5, 2004 we commenced operations in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business. Big Chunk Corp. ("Big Chunk") is our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on December 14, 2003 in the State of Alaska. Big Chunk is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business in the State of Alaska. Redwall Drilling Inc. ("Redwall") was our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on August 31, 2007 in the State of Arizona. Redwall performed drilling services on our mineral properties. Redwall ceased drilling activities in July 2008 and was dissolved on March 30, 2010. In April 2007, we changed our name to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. to reflect our current concentrated efforts on uranium exploration. We are considered to be an exploration stage company, as we have not generated any revenues from operations.

Our current business

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the States of Arizona and Alaska. Claims in the State of Alaska are held in the name of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Big Chunk Corp. Claims in the State of Arizona are held in the name of Liberty Star. We use the term "Super Project" to indicate a project in which numerous mineral targets have been identified, any one or more of which could potentially contain commercially viable quantities of minerals. Our significant projects are described below.

North Pipes Super Project ("North Pipes" and "NPSP"): Located in Northern Arizona on the Arizona Strip, we plan to ascertain whether the NPSP claims possess commercially viable deposits of uranium and associated co-product metals. We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

Big Chunk Super Project ("Big Chunk"): Located in the Iliamna region of Southwestern Alaska, we plan to ascertain whether the Big Chunk claims possess commercially viable deposits of copper, gold, molybdenum, silver, palladium rhenium and zinc. We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

Bonanza Hills Project ("Bonanza Hills"): Located in the Iliamna region of Southwestern Alaska, our plans have been to ascertain whether the Bonanza Hills claims possess commercially viable deposits of gold and silver. We have not identified any ore reserves to date. Bonanza Hills is hampered by its remote location. We have paid cash in lieu of physical exploration as permitted by Alaska state mining regulations. We did not pay rental fees in a timely fashion as required by regulation because we chose to expend those monies on other more promising Liberty projects. We may choose to pay those rental fees in arrears, as permitted by Alaska state mining regulations, and reinstate those claims if a third party has not overstaked those claims in the interim. If other projects continue to be more promising, we may completely relinquish any rights we may have at the end of the Assessment Year, 12:01 pm Alaska time September 1, 2012.

Tombstone Super Project ("Tombstone")(formerly referred to as Tombstone Porphyry Precious Metals Project): Tombstone is located in Cochise County, Arizona. We plan to ascertain whether the Tombstone claims possess commercially viable deposits of copper, molybdenum, gold, silver, lead, zinc, manganese and other metals. We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

East Silver Bell Porphyry Copper Project ("East Silver Bell"): Located northwest of Tucson, Arizona, we plan to ascertain whether the East Silver Bell claims possess commercially viable deposits of copper. We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

Title to mineral claims involves certain inherent risks due to difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. We have investigated title to all the Company's mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all properties are in good standing, except for our Bonanza Hills project claims which are not in good standing for unpaid required annual rental payments for rental year 2011 to 2012 in the amount of $15,800

The mineral resource business generally consists of three stages: exploration, development and production. Mineral resource companies that are in the exploration stage have not yet found mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities, and are engaged in exploring land in an effort to discover them. Mineral resource companies that have located a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantities and are preparing to extract that resource are in the development stage, while those engaged in the extraction of a known mineral resource are in the production stage. We are in the exploration stage – as we have not found any mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities.

There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and further exploration is required before we can evaluate whether any exist and, if so, whether it would be economically feasible to develop or exploit those resources. Even if we complete our current exploration program and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we would be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we could know whether that mineral deposit will constitute an ore reserve (an ore reserve is a commercially viable mineral deposit). Please refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" for additional information about the risks of mineral exploration.

To date, we have not generated any revenues and we remain in the exploration stage. Our ability to pursue our business plan and generate revenues is subject to our ability to obtain additional financing, and we cannot give any assurance that we will be able to do so.

Agreement with Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd

As part of the transactions noted above, we entered into a letter agreement with Northern Dynasty whereby, subject to negotiating and signing a definitive earn-in option and joint venture agreement, Northern Dynasty can earn a 60% interest in our Big Chunk and Bonanza Hills projects in Alaska (the "Joint Venture Claims") by spending $10,000,000 on those properties over six years. The outstanding loan amounts from Northern Dynasty may be applied as part of Northern Dynasty's earn-in requirements. Northern Dynasty's minimum annual expenditures under the earn-in would be the minimum level necessary to keep the Joint Venture Claims in good standing. Northern Dynasty may elect to abandon the earn-in at any time on 30 days' notice, so long as sufficient annual labor is performed, or a cash payment in lieu of labor is made, in order to fulfill the annual labor requirements for the Joint Venture Claims for a minimum of 12 months after termination of the earn-in.

To date, no joint venture agreement has been agreed upon and as such, Northern Dynasty may demand payment of the funds due under the Convertible Notes at any time upon 45 days notice.

Agreement with Fairhills Capital Offshore Ltd.

On January 19, 2012, we entered into an investment agreement (the "Investment Agreement") with Fairhills Capital Offshore Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("Fairhills"). Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, Fairhills shall commit to purchase, in a series of purchase transactions ("Puts") up to Ten Million ($10,000,000) Dollars of our common stock over a period of up to thirty-six (36) months.

The amount that are entitled to request with each Put delivered to Fairhills is equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the common stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to the applicable notice date. Our common stock will be valued at a 27.5% discount from the weighted average trading price of our stock for the five (5) trading days before Fairhills Capital receives our notice of sale. We will be unable to deliver an additional Put until a closing of a previous Put has been completed. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the closing of a Put shall be no more than seven (7) Trading Days following the delivery of a Put. Upon each closing of a Put, we shall deliver to Fairhills certificates representing the shares. Within one business day after receipt of such certificate, Fairhills shall deliver to us the purchase price to be paid for such shares. Fairhills has agreed to refrain from holding an amount of shares which would result in Fairhills from owning more than 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock at any one time.

On May 1, 2012, we entered into an amendment to the Investment Agreement (the "Amendment"). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Investment Agreement will only expire upon any of the following events: (i) when the Investor has purchased an aggregate of Ten Million dollars ($10,000,000) in the Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Investment Agreement; or (ii) on the date which is thirty-six (36) months after the effective date of the Investment Agreement; or (iii) at such time that the Registration Statement registering the shares of common stock contemplated by the Investment Agreement is no longer in effect. In addition, the Company may terminate the Investment Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice. The obligations of Fairhills under the Investment Agreement are non-transferable.

In connection with the Investment Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with Fairhills. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") covering 185,000,000 shares of the common stock underlying the Investment Agreement within 21 days after the closing of the Investment Agreement. In addition, we are obligated to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 120 days after the closing of the Investment Agreement and maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until termination in accordance with the Investment Agreement.

We intend to receive the full amount of proceeds of $10,000,000 available under the January 19, 2012 Investment Agreement. However, at an assumed purchase price under the Investment Agreement of $0.01305 (equal to 72.5% of the closing price of our common stock of $0.018 on May 30, 2012), we will only be able to receive up to $2,414,250 in gross proceeds, assuming the sale of the entire 185,000,000 Shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the Investment Agreement. As such, based on the current 185,000,000 shares being registered under this Registration Statement, we will not be able to drawn down on the entire $10,000,000 as permitted under the Investment Agreement. At an assumed purchase price of $0.01305 under the Investment Agreement, we would be required to register 581,283,525 additional shares to obtain the balance of $7,585,750 under the Investment Agreement.

In order for us to sell any remaining shares issuable under the Investment Agreement for the remaining $7,585,750, we would be required to file one or more additional registration statements registering the resale of these shares. These subsequent registration statements may be subject to review and comment by the staff of the SEC, and will require the consent of our independent registered public accounting firm. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in preparing and filing one or more additional registration statements registering the resale of the shares. Due to the floating offering price, we are not able to determine the exact number of shares that we will issue under the Investment Agreement.

The Company is planning, and has budgeted carefully to advance all of its mineral exploration projects and the total budget of exploration projects exceed the full amount of proceeds available under the January 19, 2012 Investment Agreement. In the event that we do utilize the full proceeds from the Investment Agreement and still require more capital, we will seek either equity financing or, a joint venture on some or all of our projects, or a combination of the two alternatives.

There are no broker fees or commissions with respect to the Investment Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement payable for any Put. Other than the Investment Agreement, the Amendment to the Investment Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement, we have not entered into any prior transactions with Fairhills or its affiliates.

Competition

We are a mineral resource exploration stage company engaged in the business of mineral exploration. We compete with other mineral resource exploration stage companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in mineral resource exploration stage companies. The presence of competing mineral resource exploration stage companies may impact our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our property acquisitions and exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors.

We also compete for mineral properties of merit with other exploration stage companies. Competition could reduce the availability of properties of merit or increase the cost of acquiring additional mineral properties.

Many of the resource exploration stage companies with whom we compete may have greater financial and technical resources than we do. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of properties of merit and on exploration of their properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of resource properties. This competition could result in our competitors having resource properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and to senior exploration stage companies that may purchase resource properties or enter into joint venture agreements with junior exploration stage companies. This competition could adversely impact our ability to finance property acquisitions and further exploration.

Compliance with Government Regulation

We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the States of Arizona and Alaska.

We are required to perform annual assessment work in order to maintain the Big Chunk and Bonanza Hills Alaska State mining claims. If annual assessment work is not performed we must pay the assessment amount in cash in order to maintain the claims. Completion of annual assessment work in the amount of $400 per 1/4 section (160 acre) claim or $100 per 1/16 section (40 acre) claim extends the claims for a one year period. Assessment work performed in excess of the required amount may be carried forward for up to 4 years to reduce future obligations for assessment work. We estimate that the required annual assessments to maintain the claims will be approximately $260,600.

The annual state rentals for the Big Chunk and Bonanza Hills Alaska State mining claims vary from $70 to $280 per mineral claim and escalate with the age of the mining claim. The rental period begins at noon September 1^stthrough the following September 1^stand annual rental payments are due on November 30^thof each year. Annual rent is due in full within 45 days of staking a new claim and covers the period from staking until the next September 1^st. The rentals of $164,600 to extend the Big Chunk claims through September 1, 2012 were paid in November 2011. The annual rentals of $15,800 to extend the Bonanza Hills claims through September 1, 2012 have not been paid. Our management decided to use rental funds for Bonanza Hills on other projects we believe to have more potential. Alaska State mining claim rentals can be paid in arrears and the claims validated as long as no intervening locator has overstaked our claims. We have not made the decision to make payment in arrears or relinquish our rights to these claims. The estimated state rentals due for the Big Chunk claims by November 30, 2012 for the period from September 1, 2012 through September 1, 2013 are $166,740. Alaska State production royalty is three percent of net income. State law prescribes that after a 3.5 -year exemption from state taxes a metal mine is liable for a 15% state licensing tax on net income from the mine.

Our North Pipes claims are Federal lode mining claims located on U.S. Federal Lands and administered by the Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management. The Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") has prepared an environmental impact statement ("EIS") addressing potential for contamination of significant amounts of uranium leaking into the Colorado River. The EIS indicated the danger of such contamination insignificant. Regardless, the United States Secretary of the Interior, Kenneth Salazar, through executive order has withdrawn Federal lands from locatable mineral exploration and mining except on now existing mining claims North of the Grand Canyon along the Utah border in Arizona, the so-called "Arizona Strip". Nearly 1 million acres of land managed by the BLM and the Forest Service were segregated in July 2009 by the Secretary of Interior. The executive order has resulted in the withdrawal of an area of the Arizona Strip from staking additional mining claims and mining on such new claims in particular, and the moratorium now is instated for the next 20 years. However, the moratorium permits existing claims and mines to continue as before, including our North Pipes lode mining claims.

We are required to pay annual rentals to maintain our North Pipes Federal lode mining claims in good standing. The rental period begins at 12:01 PM on September 1^stthrough the following September 1^stat 12:00 and rental payments are due by the first day of the rental period starting at 12:01 PM. The annual rental is $140 per claim. Additional fees of $45 per claim are due in the first year of filing a Federal lode mining claim along with the first year's rent. The rentals of $60,340 for the period from September 1, 2011 to September 1, 2012 have been paid. The annual rentals due by September 1, 2012 of $60,340 are required to maintain the North Pipes claims are for the period from September 1, 2012 through September 1, 2013. There is no requirement for annual assessment or exploration work on the Federal lode mining claims, this having been supplanted by the rental fee. There are no royalties associated with the Federal lode mining claims.

We are required to pay annual rentals for our Federal lode mining claims for our East Silver Bell project in the State of Arizona. The rental period begins at noon on September 1^stthrough the following September 1^stand rental payments are due by the first day of the rental period. The annual rental is $140 per claim. The rentals fees of $3,640 for the period from September 1, 2011 to September 1, 2012 have been paid. The annual rentals due by September 1, 2012 of $3,640 are required to maintain the East Silver Bell claims are for the period from September 1, 2012 through September 1, 2013. There is no requirement for annual assessment or exploration work on the Federal lode mining claims, this having been supplanted by the rental fee. There are no royalties associated with the Federal lode mining claims.

We are required to pay annual rentals for our Federal lode mining claims for our Tombstone project in the State of Arizona. The rental period begins at noon on September 1^stthrough the following September 1^stand rental payments are due by the first day of the rental period. The annual rental is $140 per claim. Additional fees of $45 per claim are due in the first year of filing a Federal lode mining claim along with the first year's rent. The rentals and initial filing fees of $17,094 for the period from September 1, 2011 to September 1, 2012 have been paid. The annual rentals due by September 1, 2012 of $13,365 are required to maintain the Tombstone claims are for the period from September 1, 2012 through September 1, 2013. There is no requirement for annual assessment or exploration work on the Federal lode mining claims, this having been supplanted by the rental fee. There are no royalties associated with the Federal lode mining claims.

We are required to pay annual rentals for our Arizona State Land Department ("ASLD") Mineral Exploration Permits ("AZ MEP") at our Tombstone Super Project in the State of Arizona. A mineral exploration permit is permission from ASLD to prospect and explore for minerals on State Trust land. Exploration is any activity conducted for the purpose of determining the existence of a valuable mineral deposit, such as: geologic mapping, drilling, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys. Prior to exploration, the Plan of Operations must be approved by ASLD. The permitting process for an exploration permit takes a minimum of sixty (60) days. If the application is approved, the initial rent is $2 per acre. If renewed, no additional rents are due for the second year. Rents are set at $1 per acre for years 3 thru 5. Work expenditure requirements are: $10 per acre for years 1-2; and $20 per acre for years 3-5. Removal of any minerals or materials from State Trust land without the appropriate lease or permit is prohibited. The permit is valid for one year from the due date of the rental and bond. If renewal requirements are met, the permit can be renewed annually for up to five years. If discovery of a valuable mineral deposit is made, the permitee must apply for a mineral lease before actual mining activities can begin. A mineral lease permits the mining of minerals discovered under the exploration permit. The approval process takes a minimum of six (6) months. The mineral lease is issued for a term of twenty (20) years. Leases may be renewed for an additional term. Both rents and royalties are determined by appraisal. Royalties may be based on: 1) a fixed rate subject to annual adjustment; or 2) a sliding-scale rate which is linked to a commodity index price and the operation's break-even price. There is a statutory minimum royalty rate of 2% of gross value. These AZ MEPs require a reclamation bond of $3,000 which we currently hold. The first year's rental has been paid for these MEPs ;and the escalating rental is due on the anniversary of the MEP each year. After the end of the 4th year, the MEPs must transition to a State Mineral Lease upon satisfaction of the State Mineral Inspector that economic indications of a minable deposit exists. After commencement of mining, the State of Arizona shall be paid a minimal net smelter return after taking into consideration any extenuating mining challenges royalty but not less than a 2% gross royalty. In the north eastern part of the Tombstone area approximately 1 mile from the Tombstone business district, the company holds 33 Federal lode mining claims on lease from JABA US Inc., which has held these claims for approximately 30+ years or more. Two of Liberty Star's directors have an interest in JABA US Inc. These claims cover the Walnut Creek mineral target. Beginning September 1, 2011 at 12:01 PM, Liberty Star started and subsequently completed staking 9 Federal lode mining claims along the east edge of old patented mining claims in the main producing part of the old Tombstone mining area. These new claims are adjacent to the south end of the Walnut Creek TS claim block and are also named the TS claims. These claims occupy fractional land areas open to location by federal lode claim. Regardless of the time of staking of any federal lode mining claim, the rental period begins on September 1, at 12:01 pmthrough the following September at 12:00 pm. We hold AZ MEP permits for 4,126.9 acres at our Tombstone project. We paid initial rental fees from the date of application through September 29, 2012 of $8,254. Required minimum work expenditures for the period ended September 29, 2012 are $41,269. The annual rentals due by September 30, 2012 to maintain the AZ MEP permits are $4,127 and annually on the anniversary date of acquisition for a maximum of five years. There are royalties on Arizona state land on a negotiated net smelter return basis taking into account mining production challenges. However, a minimum royalty of 2% of the gross metal or mineral sales is required With respect to the foregoing properties, additional approvals and authorizations may be required from other government agencies, depending upon the nature and scope of the proposed exploration program. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the size, quality of any resource or reserve at this time, and it is extremely difficult to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings or our competitive position.

Personnel

Currently we employ one full time geologist who is also our CEO, CFO, Chief Geologist, and Chairman of the Board, James Briscoe. We also employ one full time executive, one full time Executive Assistant/accountant, one as-needed PhD consulting geologist specializing in GIS computer mapping and database creation, one full time Field Operations Manager - Geotech, and one CPA on an as needed basis. We hire consultants for investor relations, exploration and administrative functions also on an as needed basis.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Our offices

We rent the premises for our principal office located at 5610 E Sutler Lane, Tucson, Arizona 85712. We rent this office space which is located in the home of our Chief Geologist and CEO for $522 per month plus a pro rata share of taxes and maintenance. We also rent office space located at 2980 N Swan Road, Suite 222, Tucson, Arizona 85712 “Plaza Palomino Office”. We rent this office space for $2,280 per month. Our employees work either from our principal office, Plaza Palomino office or from offices maintained in their homes.

We believe that our existing office facilities are adequate for our needs through January 31, 2013. Should we require additional space at that time, or prior thereto, we believe that such space can be secured on commercially reasonable terms.

Our warehouse

On June 1, 2011 we rented a warehouse located at Building No. 1, 7900 South Kolb Road, Tucson, Arizona 85706. We rent this warehouse space for $3,550 per month. The lease is in effect until May 31, 2013. In addition to using the warehouse for standard purposes, such as storage of our exploration equipment, supplies and samples, the warehouse space also includes office facilities for the use of field geologists and geotechs.

Our mineral claims

We have investigated titles to all of our mineral properties and, to the best of our knowledge, titles to all properties are in good standing as of January 31, 2012. Because of competitive pressure in Arizona we do not reveal claim positions at this time.

North Pipes Super Project (“North Pipes” and “NPSP”):

We hold a 100% interest in 431 Federal lode mining claims strategically placed on the Arizona Strip. The 431 Federal lode mining claims include breccia pipe targets (“Pipes”). Breccia pipes are cylindrical formations in the earth’s crust sometimes identified by a surface depression, or surface bump or no visible surface expression at all, and contain a high concentration of fragmented rock “breccia” sometimes cemented by uranium and other minerals. We plan to ascertain whether our North Pipes claims possess commercially viable deposits of uranium.

Our NPSP claims are undeveloped. There are neither open-pit nor underground mines, nor is there any mining plant or equipment located on the properties. There is no power supply to the properties. We have not found any mineral resources on any of our claims. The Arizona Strip was an active exploration district in the 1970’s and 1980’s with multiple producing uranium mines. No evidence of actual development work has been found on any of our properties and no significant exploration activities have been performed on our NPSP claims since 2008 due to many factors including the lowered uranium prices and the moratorium on locating claims. Below is a summary of prior exploration activities performed on our NPSP claims:

Geophysics: We have completed PEM (Pulse Electro-magnetic) geophysical surveys on some of our NPSP claims. Two types of PEM surveys were conducted in 2007: (i) Downhole PEM and (ii) In-Loop PEM. We have also used CSAMT and NSAMT (Controlled and Natural Source Audio-range Magneto Tellurics), run on the ground and executed by Zonge Engineering of Tucson AZ. A survey was also completed by Geotech on an approximately six square area by VTEM helicopter borne electromagnetic survey along right angle crossing grid lines spaced 100 meters apart, which was performed by Geotech of Aurora, Ontario, Canada. Significant anomalies resulted from this survey. Preliminary drilling of one of Liberty Star's anomalies intersected strong breccia, alteration and pyrite mineralization. The holes did not penetrate down to the elevation where uranium mineralization would be expected, but are targets for future work. As of this date we have not developed any uranium resources on the Arizona Strip.

Stereoscopic geologic color air photo interpretation (photo-geology): Stereoscopic geologic interpretation of 1:24,000 (1 inch = 2,000 feet) high resolution color air photographs were contracted for and completed by Dr. Karen Weinrich and Edward Ulmer, a Registered Professional Geologist. Dr. Weinrich worked on the Arizona Strip uranium bearing breccia pipes almost exclusively during her twenty three year tenure with the United States Geological Survey from which she is now retired. During this period of study she authored many professional papers on breccia pipes of the Grant Canyon area, and is considered a foremost expert on them. Mr. Ulmer worked on the Arizona Strip in the mid to late 1970s working on both imagery interpretation and surface geology.

Geologic field mapping on the surface: Geological field mapping was conducted in the fall of 2005 through 2007 by our staff geologists as well as contracted geologists. Approximately 180 of the breccias pipe target areas have been mapped in detail 1:5,000 (1 inch = 417 feet). Several detailed measured stratigraphic sections have also been completed.

Geochemical sampling: A comprehensive soil geochemical survey was completed in 2007. We have collected approximately 14,000 soil samples over all identifiable breccias pipes, both those with known ore and those that are yet to be proven by drilling. A strict chain of custody procedures were followed and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) samples were inserted regularly into the sample stream. The samples were assayed for 63 elements. Assay analyses were conducted by a Certified Assay Lab, Acme Analytical Laboratories of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We believe that these samples allow us to identify potential uranium bearing breccia pipes versus barren or non-uranium bearing breccias pipes.

Drilling: In 2007 a drilling program was undertaken using both rotary drilling and core drilling. Rotary drilling was contracted by Boart Longyear. Diamond core drilling was completed by Redwall Drilling Inc., a former wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Star. A total of 22 holes were drilled for a total of 16,226 feet of drilling. Important intersections of rock generally associated with producing breccias pipes were made. We did not intersect any ore grade mineralization during the drilling program.

Bonanza Hills Project ("Bonanza Hills"):

We held 56 mineral claims covering approximately 13.5 square miles in Southwestern Alaska, located approximately 40 miles northeast of the northern boundary of the Big Chunk claims. We had planned to ascertain whether the Bonanza Hills claims possess commercially viable deposits of gold and silver. While we paid cash in lieu of assessment work on the property, we have not paid Alaska state rental fees required by November 30, 2011. While we have the right to make these rental payments in arrears, the claims are open to staking by another party and we could lose some or all our rights. We are required to make a $15,800 payment to the state of Alaska to keep these claims valid. We are not sure at this time whether we wish to expend additional funds to continue work on this project. We may lose this property at any time.

Our Bonanza Hills claims are undeveloped. The claims are located in a remote area of Southwestern Alaska where limited exploration and development activity has occurred. There are no open-pit or underground mines, nor is there any mining plant or equipment located on the properties. There is no power supply to the properties. There is no road access to the properties. Anaconda Mining Inc. and Tech Cominco Alaska conducted some minor tests on our Bonanza Hills claims in the past. The work they conducted consisted of surface sampling and a small geophysical survey. We are not aware of any other exploration that occurred there before we began our exploration there. We have not found any mineral resources on any of our claims.

Big Chunk Super Project ("Big Chunk") -' Location, claims, geology and technical studies:

We hold a 100% interest in 612 mineral claims covering approximately 177 square miles in the Iliamna region of Southwestern Alaska, located on the north side of the Cook Inlet, approximately 265 miles southwest of the city of Anchorage, Alaska. We plan to ascertain whether the Big Chunk claims possess commercially viable deposits of copper, gold, molybdenum, silver, palladium, rhenium and zinc.

Our Big Chunk claims are undeveloped. The claims are located in a remote area of Southwestern Alaska near Lake Illiamna, Alaska's largest lake. The claims are immediately adjacent and contiguous to the Pebble mine property and about 3 miles north east from the Pebble Porphyry copper, gold, molybdenum, silver, palladium, rhenium and zinc mineral deposit which is reportedly one of the largest of its type in the world. In 2011, the Company engaged the international firm of SRK Consulting, Engineering and Scientists of Tucson (“SRK”) through its Tucson, Arizona office to prepare a Technical Report in the same format of the internationally accepted Canadian National Instrument NI 43-101. In their report which encompasses some 194 pages of technical data, they compared the Northern Dynasty NI 43-101 geologic and drill data, published on the Northern Dynasty web site in its entirety, to results of Liberty Star’s technical work on the Big Chunk ground. They concluded amongst other things: (1) Twenty seven scout diamond drill holes drilled by Liberty Star in 2004 – 2005 intersected the same rock types as were intersected in the exploration drilling on the Pebble deposit (2) All drill holes, which were spaced over some 500 square miles, intersected the outer shell or propylitic halo of multiple porphyry copper systems, which is the model co-developed by our director, Dr. John Guilbert; and (3) Copper and molybdenum sulfides along with low grade gold were intersected in two drill holes in the White Sox target area. “This mineralization and associated alteration may indicate a porphyry Cu-Mo system”(SRK Big Chunk Technical Report- page 109, 11.2 - Results of Drilling, available on the Liberty Star Web Site. The area of the Big Chunk Claims is largely covered by glacial debris, soil, and tundra. There are no open-pit or underground mines, nor is there any mining plant or equipment located on the properties. There is no power supply to the properties. There is no road access to the properties, but such public road access is planned for the Pebble mine, and as currently planned, that road will cross the Company’s land, and be accessible for the Company’s use. Extensive geotechnical data on the Big Chunk claims has been acquired between start-up of 2004 and the current time. Extensive geophysical data has been acquired by the Company of several types, which includes the following:

(1) an extensive air borne magnetic survey flown by McPharGeosurveys Ltd., Newmarket, Ontario Canada over 18,243 line kilometers covering 3,646 square kilometers using: (a) a draped survey with a mean elevation of the instrument above the terrain of 200 meters (600 feet) feet; (b) a line spacing of 250 meters (800 feet); (c) and a sample interval of 8 meters (26.4 feet). State of the art magnetometer, GPS, radar altimeter, and computer recording of data were used and in our opinion no other survey of this quality and precision is available in the area.

(2) one hundred twenty seven linear miles of Induced Polarization (IP) was run by Zonge Engineering of Tucson AZ. Of necessity lines were brushed of all trees and undergrowth and all access was by helicopter, however, the lines themselves were done on the ground by foot. All data was recorded on appropriate computers, downloaded each evening and sent to the Zonge Office in Tucson and to our consulting geophysicist Mr. Jan Klein in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Mr. Klein supervised all IP and other geophysical surveys over the Pebble for Cominco who sold the Pebble Project to Northern Dynasty. Thus, we believe Mr Klein has had more experience in the geophysics of the area, which includes over 2,000 square miles, than any other geophysicist. The results were interpreted and sent back to the Alaska headquarters every night.

(3) Liberty Star contracted with Geotech Limited of London, Ontario, Canada to run their ZTEM Electro Magnetic (EM) airborne survey equipment over the Big Chunk project. This thoroughly tested system can look down 2,000 meters (6,000 feet) in to the crust of the earth and detect sulfide mineralization associated with porphyry copper-gold systems, as well as other geologic features. This survey was completed in August 2009. The survey covered 315.2 sq kilometers (121.7 sq miles) and consisted of north-south lines spaced 250 meters apart on our Big Chunk Super Project mineral claims. In May 2010, Liberty Star received feedback from Geotech Ltd. that its interpretation showed at least 4 to 7 signatures that are consistent with porphyry copper responses. The 2D computer model shows typical low responsive areas, which could correspond to an ore mineral core zones with a surrounding responsive cylinders representing pyrite halos typical of Porphyry copper systems. For control, Geotech flew a survey the day after completing the Big Chunk survey, over the Pebble mineral deposit. The anomalies on Big Chunk show strong similarities to the Pebble.

During the field seasons of 2004 and 2005 Liberty collected approximately eleven thousand geochemical samples. The sampling program was designed by both consulting geochemist, Shea Clark Smith, of MEG Laboratories in the Reno area of Nevada, and Liberty Chief Geologist, James Briscoe. The sampling program was based on many years of geochemical studies and sampling throughout the world by Mr. Smith, and his Masters Degree thesis on sampling tundra plants and detecting metals in their woody stems reflecting metals at depth. Further, Mr. Smith and Mr. Briscoe used this technique to locate buried porphyry copper deposits in the Silver Bell district (see discussion of the East Silver Bell Project in this report) near Tucson, Arizona in 1996 -1998. The methodology was conceived, discovered and proven in a well known porphyry district south of Tucson, Arizona between the period 1950 to 1955. At Big Chunk the samples collected included: (1) stream sediment; (2) stream water; (3) pond and small-lake water; (4) soil samples; and (5) vegetation sampling new growth of woody plants. These samples were analyzed by Acme Labs, a Certified Assayer in Canada for 64 elements for each sample. For the eleven thousand samples, this resulted in approximately seven hundred thousand separate analyses including blanks, repeat and control samples part of the QA/QC (Quality Assurance Quality Control) procedures. Because of the overload worldwide in all assay labs at the time, turnaround time for the assays was up to three or more months. After receipt of the samples, they were processed using computer techniques and the results analyzed and interpreted. Known indicator elements, including porphyry copper-gold mineral center elements, formed typical porphyry copper center anomaly zones. Additionally, samples taken by Liberty Star over the Pebble deposit with the permission of Northern Dynasty, indicated that mineral body to be detectable by these methods. The geochemical methodology was used by the US Geological Survey, under contract for the Pebble partnership over the Pebble mineral zone, and data was published in 2010. It was again shown to be effective in indicating the Pebble deposit mineralization at depth. The anomalies generated by both deep looking ZTEM and geochemistry by Liberty Star have been tested by published results from drilling in the Pebble mineral body. The same type of targets in the Liberty Star Big Chunk have yet to be tested by drilling.

We are unaware of any previous claim ownership anywhere on our Big Chunk claims in Alaska. No historical drilling resulting in mineral resources or reserves are in the published literature concerning the property. Minor exploration was conducted by Teck Cominco Alaska, and Anaconda Mining Inc. The United States Geological Survey does not do exploration but they had done minor geological mapping in the north part of the Big Chunk caldera, along with widely spaced aeromag surveys in the same area. We are not aware of any prior exploration that was conducted on our Big Chunk claims in Alaska prior to January 10, 2004, when our aerial magnetic survey began.

We have not defined mineral resources on any of our claims at Big Chunk.

Letter Agreement and Secured Convertible Note with Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. With Respect to Big Chunk

As part of the transactions noted above, we entered into a letter agreement with Northern Dynasty whereby, subject to negotiating and signing a definitive earn-in option and joint venture agreement, Northern Dynasty can earn a 60% interest in our Big Chunk and Bonanza Hills projects in Alaska (the "Joint Venture Claims") by spending $10,000,000 on those properties over six years. The outstanding loan amounts from Northern Dynasty may be applied as part of Northern Dynasty's earn-in requirements. Northern Dynasty's minimum annual expenditures under the earn-in would be the minimum level necessary to keep the Joint Venture Claims in good standing. Northern Dynasty may elect to abandon the earn-in at any time on 30 days' notice, so long as sufficient annual labor is performed, or a cash payment in lieu of labor is made, in order to fulfill the annual labor requirements for the Joint Venture Claims for a minimum of 12 months after termination of the earn-in. To date, no joint venture agreement has been agreed upon and as such, Northern Dynasty may demand payment of the funds due under the Convertible Notes at any time upon 45 days notice.

Tombstone Super Project ("Tombstone"):

Our CEO and Chief Geologist James Briscoe has long experience in the Tombstone district, where he first worked in 1972. In the mid-1980s, he concluded that much earlier regional geologic work had reached erroneous conclusions and that Tombstone was a large and ancient (72 million years before the present -' or Laramide in age) volcanic structure -' a caldera. He brought this to the attention of the US Geological Survey caldera experts, who after study concluded that Briscoe was correct. Subsequently, more than seventeen calderas of various ages have been identified in Arizona, by the US Geological survey, the Arizona Geological Survey and others. Such calderas of Laramide age are all associated with porphyry alteration and copper and associated mineralization; many of these have become very large copper mines. Studies by Mr. Briscoe over the years, and more recently using advanced technology, have indicated that alteration associated mineralization at Tombstone is much more extensive than originally thought. This alteration lays largely under cover and is indicated by geochemistry, geophysics and projection of known geology into covered areas.

We hold 66 standard Federal lode mining claims located due east and southeast of the town of Tombstone, Arizona. We also hold Arizona State Mineral Exploration Permits (MEPs) covering 4766.9 acres or 7.45 square miles in the same area. We also hold an option to explore 33 standard Federal lode mining claims located in the same region. We plan to ascertain whether the Tombstone lode mining claims and MEPs possess commercially viable deposits of copper, gold, molybdenum, silver, zinc and other valuable metals.

The Tombstone claims are undeveloped. However significant amounts of aeromagnetic surveys, IP (Induced Polarization Surveys), geologic mapping by the USGS and others, and geochemical surveys including soil, rock and vegetation sampling have been conducted at various times by various parties, over the last 60 years. When compiled and analyzed these various data suggest a compelling series of anomalies that are typical of buried, dirt and rock covered porphyry copper system(s). Below is a summary of prior exploration activities performed on our Tombstone claims:

Technical Report: In mid March 2011, Liberty Star contracted SRK to prepare three (3) Technical studies and Reports in a form similar to mineral reports prescribed under NI 43-101. Members of SRK's engineering/scientific staff supervised by a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101 and SRK's Tucson Office Principal Geologist, Corolla Hoag, and geologist Dr. Jan Rasmussen have visited the Tombstone property. This information was combined with historic technical reports going back to 1878 and more recent data up to August 2011 (the date of their reports). The three Technical Reports are entitled: (1) Walnut Creek Exploration Report, Tombstone District, Arizona -' August 31, 2011, 147 pages; (2) The Tombstone Caldera South Exploration Report, Tombstone District, Arizona -' August 31, 2011, 144 pages; and (3) Hay Mountain Exploration Report, Tombstone District, Arizona -' August 31 2011, 155 pages. We had also requested that SRK prepare a report on the Tombstone Consolidated Mines patented claims. These claims covered the entirety of historic productive area of the Tombstone mines which date to their discovery in 1877. However, before that report could be completed a competitor acquired a lease on those lands. These Technical Reports thoroughly summarize and illustrate the salient geotechnical data of the Tombstone Mining District covering about 250 square miles and present much data in computer map format. In such context, they analyze Liberty Star's exploration programs as related to the entire area, make estimates and recommend execution of proposed Company exploration programs. Because of competitive pressure and the unique nature of the data which includes 40+ years of private report compilation by James Briscoe, our CEO, these reports are considered confidential and will not be released for the foreseeable future.

Geochemical sampling at the Hay Mountain Project: In 2011 and early 2012 we collected nearly 1,800 rock, soil and vegetation samples over 621 sample sites over approximately 14 square miles centered on the Hay Mountain property. These samples are in the process of being assayed for 63 elements generating about 113,000 analyses. The samples were prepared by MEG Inc. and have been shipped to ALS Minerals (ALS-Chemex) a Certified (under NI 43-101 criteria and approved by regulatory processes) geochemical analysis lab in Vancouver, British Columbia. Assay results are being sent to our Tucson office and when all assays are received our geology team will be able to generate computer analyses that allow interpretation of the data.

ZTEM EM Survey: We have requested and have received a cost estimate from Geotech of Aurora (Toronto area) Ontario, Canada, which is the only purveyor of this helicopter borne electromagnetic (EM) geophysical method. We anticipate flying the Tombstone area this spring or summer. This geophysical method has the ability to "look down" into the crust of the earth about 2,000 meters (6,000 feet) and detect sulfides which may be associated with porphyry copper systems. Test work over known Safford, Arizona porphyry copper deposits along with thousands of verifying drill holes show the geometry of such mineral systems can be determined, thus identifying whether it is a porphyry copper system or some other mineral system,. When combined with our geochemical data, we can determine the position of the copper-moly center of the system and design our drill program to efficiently test and define mineralization.

East Silver Bell Porphyry Copper Project ("East Silver Bell" or "ESB"):

Located northwest of Tucson, Arizona, the claims currently are within the Ironwood National Monument, which was established after the claims were staked and validated by numerous drill holes in addition to extensive technical studies. We plan to ascertain whether the East Silver Bell claims possess commercially viable deposits of copper. We hold an option to explore 26 standard Federal lode mining claims located in the same region. The optioned mineral claims are owned by JABA US Inc., a corporation in which two of our directors are owners. We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

The East Silver Bell claims are undeveloped. The ESB block of claims were staked circa 1994 about five miles east of the ASARCO Solvent-Extraction-Electro-Winning (SXEW) plant. The East Silver Bell claims are directly adjacent and contiguous to the ASARCO Patented (fee simple) lands. Circa 1994 JABA (US) Inc. compiled geophysics -' consisting of existing, widely spaced airborne magnetics, collected soil and vegetation geochemical samples, performed detailed photo interpretation from high resolution color aerial photography, mapped surface geology, breccia pipes and performed detailed mapping and interpretation of leached capping and performed very closely spaced man borne magnetic surveys over alteration and projection of the edge of the Silver Bell caldera and associated mineral belt that includes the Silver Bell porphyry copper mines that could be seen on the color air photos. The surface magnetic survey was interpreted by geophysicist Edward DeRidder, who pointed out a magnetic low that he interpreted as a porphyry copper magnetic low. Subsequently, north-south Induced Polarization (IP) lines were run and interpreted by Zonge engineering, to show a sulfide response at 900 to 1,000 feet below the surface. All of this data was plotted in 3D images showing overlapping and mutually reinforcing geochemical, ground magnetic and IP geophysics, and geologic- alteration mapped anomalies. Half of this responsive area lies on the adjacent ASARCO ground and half lies on JABA (US) ground. Subsequent to these studies, the ground was lease-optioned to Valarie Gold Exploration Inc., (Valarie) a Canadian exploration company. They drilled 6 holes to a predetermined depth of 600 feet, using a rotary drill and recovered drill chips, sampled at 5 foot intervals. The drilling penetrated and recovered classic chalcocite leached capping typical of that material occurring over ore bodies in the Silver Bell mines of North Silver Bell, El Tiro and Oxide open pit mines. Geochemical assays of the cuttings showed three to four relict ghost copper enriched zones to the final arbitrary depth of six hundred feet. These holes did not penetrate the leached chalcocite capping rock and did not enter sulfides. Valarie relinquished their lease. Latter Kennecott Copper Corp. optioned the claims and drilled three rotary drill holes. Of these holes two twisted off the drill bits at shallow depth and had to be abandoned while in the leached chalcocite capping. One hole penetrated to a depth of 1,000 feet but poor sampling procedures negated any meaningful data from this hole, when primary samples were irretrievably lost. These two drill attempts were predictably not successful but geochemistry from the Valarie drill holes did show shadow geochemical copper enrichment indicating chalcocite enrichment in the sulfide blanket below and the Kennecott effort did recover some chalcocite (enrighed copper sulfide) Circa 1998 the Ironwood National Monument was created over JABA's valid mining claims. The surface of these claims cannot be used to extract the copper mineral body below by the open pit mining method. Since half of the of the geophysically, geochemically, geologically, alteration indicated mineral body is located on ASARCO patented land and because the ASARCO SXEW plant is only five miles to the west, it is believed that this mineral body can be extracted from the ASARCO property by underground – in situ leach technology at some point in the future. To date we have not identified any ore reserves on the East Silver Bell Project.

We have not found any mineral resources on any of our claims.

Our Business

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the "Company", "we", "us", or "Liberty Star"). Management's Discussion and Analysis is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 located in this Form S-1.

Liberty Star is in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business. Big Chunk Corp. ("Big Chunk") is our wholly owned subsidiary and is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business in the State of Alaska. We are an exploration stage company, as we have not generated revenues from operations. Our significant projects are:

North Pipes Super Project ("NPSP"): NPSP is located in Northern Arizona on the Arizona Strip and we plan to ascertain whether the North Pipes Super Project claims possess commercially viable deposits of uranium. We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

Big Chunk Super Project ("Big Chunk"): Big Chunk is located in the Iliamna region of Southwestern Alaska and we plan to ascertain whether the Big Chunk claims possess commercially viable deposits of copper, gold, molybdenum, silver and zinc. We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

Tombstone Porphyry-Precious Metals Project ("Tombstone"): Tombstone is located in Cochise County, Arizona and we plan to ascertain whether the Tombstone claims possess commercially viable deposits of copper, molybdenum, gold, silver, lead and zinc. We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

The mineral resource business generally consists of three stages: exploration, development and production. Mineral resource companies that are in the exploration stage have not yet found mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities, and are engaged in exploring land in an effort to discover them. Mineral resource companies that have located a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantities and are preparing to extract that resource are in the development stage, while those engaged in the extraction of a known mineral resource are in the production stage. We are in the exploration stage -' as we have not found any mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At January 31, 2012, our balance of cash was $155,869 comparing to $1,100,315 as of January 31, 2011. We currently estimate that our future uses of cash, based on the average annual uses of cash in prior years, will be composed of general and administrative costs which we believe will total approximately $700,000 annually, and consulting fees (including attorneys, tax consultants, and auditors expenses) which we believe will total approximately $200,000 annually. In addition, we have completed geological, physics, and technological reports relating to our business which we have totaled approximately $341,000, which represents all payments made for such reports from Inception to date. In addition, we will expend approximately $571,000 this year in exploration and assessment costs, which include both permit and rental fees. However, if we proceed to drill at our current sites, we will not be required to pay the $571,000 fee.

Due to the fact that we are a mining exploration company our greatest expenses relate to specific projects, land acquisitions, geotechnical studies, drilling and land maintenance (mineral lease rentals and assessment on mining claims). These expenses are incurred when we determine there is a mineral target that justifies detailed work of land acquisition; geotechnical surveys followed by drilling to test the remote or surface geotechnical work. We generally hire associates or consultants for technical work for each specific job. This process can be extensive, time consuming and expensive. Due to the fact that most of this activity is voluntary in nature we can control our expenses by postponing or setting forward drilling and other technical work. Due to our prior years of preparatory technical work on our projects including, Big Chunk Super Project (BCSP), Alaska, Silver Bell, Arizona, Walnut Creek, Tombstone, Arizona, Hay Mountain, Tombstone, Arizona as well as North Pipes, Arizona, we believe our projects are almost drill ready and can all be drilled initially in the next twelve months, assuming we are able to obtain financing.

Based on our current assessment, we anticipate approximately $2,320,000 in future expenses relating to: (i) $320,000 for the performance of ZTEM (Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic system), a highly technological method of mineral deposit exploration for drill targets which also includes extensive analysis; (ii) $1,000,000 relating to Big Chunk drilling for multiple one thousand foot HQ Core Holes, plus Mobe-Demobe, geology supervision, helicopter, camp, permitting, and sundries, for expense in August 2012 of $500,000 and again in September 2012 of $500,000; and (iii) $1,000,000 for drilling at Tombstone with HQ Diamond Core. These anticipated future expenses are not required to be undertaken, and we will only proceed with these activities if we are able to obtain financing through the sale of equity by way of private placement or with funds obtained through the Investment Agreement we have entered into with Fairhills. In addition, if we are able to obtain appropriate funding, we also plan to pay off the Northern Dynasty debt and all related accrued interest, which as of January 31, 2012 had a balance of $4,257,145. The Northern Dynasty debt will continue to accrue interest until it is paid in full.

Our future payments outlined above will only occur if we are able to finance our operations, either through the selling of equity or debt by way of private placements. However, we may not be able to obtain future financing at terms that are acceptable to us or in the amounts necessary to implement the above outlined activities.

We have been successfully raising capital from selling equity and debt by way of private placements. We intend to continue to raise capital from such sources. In addition, we have entered into the Investment Agreement with Fairhills whereby we are permitted, but not required, to issue and sell up to the number of shares of common stock having an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 to Fairhills. In addition to seeking sources of funding through the sale of equity, we may seek to enter into joint venture agreements with other companies to finance our projects for the long term. In addition, we may choose to sell a portion of our assets to finance our projects. Should our properties prove to be as prolific and commercially viable as our careful studies indicate at this point, we may be in a position to seek debt financing to help build infrastructure, and finally, we eventually plan to obtain revenues from commercial mining of our properties

Uses of Capital

We use cash for employee compensation, and for working capital. Substantially all funds received are expended in the furtherance of growing the business. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

an increase in working capital requirements to finance increased exploration projects,
the cost of being a public company and the continued increase in costs due to governmental compliance activities, and
exploration expenses which we anticipate paying during the year as we receive funds to do so.

Changes in our working capital position are summarized as follows:

								Increase
								(Decrease)
		January 31,			January 31,			Working
		2012			2011			Capital

Current assets	$	170,020		$	1,108,375		$	(938,355	)
Current liabilities		4,457,613			3,302,161			(1,155,452	)
Working capital (deficit)	$	(4,287,593	)	$	(2,193,786	)	$	(2,093,807	)

Our working capital decreased approximately $2,093,807 primarily attributable to additional assessment work and rental fees paid for our Big Chunk property. This amount was added to our Northern Dynasty loan. Our current assets include cash also which is used as needed for various exploration expenses and can fluctuate accordingly.

We had cash inflows from financing activities of $249,357 for the year ended January 31, 2012. We issued additional debt on our convertible promissory note with Northern Dynasty in the amount of $730,174 to pay geological exploration, assessment and rentals on our Big Chunk claim.

We believe that our current levels of cash and future financing activities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. However, we may need additional cash resources in the future if we experience changed business conditions, business expansion or other developments. If we ever determine that our cash requirements exceed our amounts of cash and cash equivalents on hand, we may seek to issue our equity securities or draw down on the Investment Agreement executed with Fairhills. Any future issuance of equity securities could cause dilution for our shareholders. Any incurrence of indebtedness could increase our debt service obligations and cause us to be subject to restrictive operating and financial covenants.

It is possible that, when we need additional cash resources, financing will only be available to us in amounts or on terms that would not be acceptable to us, if at all.

Letter Agreement and Secured Convertible Notes with Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd.

As part of the transactions noted above, we entered into a letter agreement with Northern Dynasty whereby, subject to negotiating and signing a definitive earn-in option and joint venture agreement, Northern Dynasty can earn a 60% interest in our Big Chunk and Bonanza Hills projects in Alaska (the "Joint Venture Claims") by spending $10,000,000 on those properties over six years. The outstanding loan amounts from Northern Dynasty may be applied as part of Northern Dynasty's earn-in requirements. Northern Dynasty's minimum annual expenditures under the earn-in would be the minimum level necessary to keep the Joint Venture Claims in good standing. Northern Dynasty may elect to abandon the earn-in at any time on 30 days' notice, so long as sufficient annual labor is performed, or a cash payment in lieu of labor is made, in order to fulfill the annual labor requirements for the Joint Venture Claims for a minimum of 12 months after termination of the earn-in. To date, no joint venture agreement has been agreed upon and as such, Northern Dynasty may demand payment of the funds due under the Convertible Notes at any time upon 45 days notice.

The Convertible Notes are secured against our Big Chunk and Bonanza Hills property. The Convertible Notes are due for repayment 45 days after the earlier to occur of: (i) Northern Dynasty's completion of its earn-in to the Joint Venture Claims unless it has elected to deem the entire outstanding balance of the Convertible Note (including interest thereon) to be part of the earn-in expenditure requirements and (ii) termination of Northern Dynasty's earn-in right by voluntary abandonment provided that $1,000,000 in expenditures has been made; or (iii) termination of Northern Dynasty's earn-in right on account of a superior third party joint venture offer.

Financing Agreement with Fairhills Capital Offshore Ltd.

On January 19, 2012, we entered into a financing agreement (the “Fairhills Agreement”) with Fairhills Capital Offshore Ltd. (“Fairhills Capital”), whereby Fairhills Capital will provide for a non-brokered financing arrangement of up to $10,000,000. The financing allows but does not require us to issue and sell up to the number of shares of common stock having an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 to Fairhills Capital. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Fairhills Agreement and a registration rights agreement entered into concurrently (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), we may, in our sole discretion, deliver a notice to Fairhills Capital which states the dollar amount which we intend to sell to Fairhills Capital on a certain date. The amount that we shall be entitled to sell to Fairhills Capital shall be equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of our shares of common stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to the applicable notice date. Such shares of common stock will be valued at a 27.5% discount from the weighted average trading price of our stock for the five (5) trading days before Fairhills Capital receives our notice of sale. The shares of common stock that we sell to Fairhills Capital must be registered stock, among other conditions of investment.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement and to have a registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days from January 19, 2012. The registration statement was filed on March 13, 2012 and has not been declared effective yet.

Results of Operations for the year ended January 31, 2012

We had a net loss of $(2,461,459) for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2012 compared to a net loss of $(19,865,419) for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2011. The decrease in net loss of approximately $17 million is mainly due to the following factors:

	1)	Decrease in settlement expense of approximately $13.2 million due to the settlement of actual and threatened lawsuits from four warrant holders in the prior year. No settlement expense was incurred in the current year. We amended some of the existing warrants that were outstanding to these holders as well as issuing new warrants to two of these holders. The black- scholes valuation model was used to estimate the fair market value of these modifications and new warrants.

	2)	Decrease of $3.7 million loss on change in the fair value of warrants. The change in fair value of warrants was greatly impacted by large fluctuations in our stock trading prices last fiscal year. Also, there were less warrants outstanding that are measured at fair value in the current year as most of the warrants measured at fair value in the prior year were exercised and no longer outstanding at January 31, 2012 or replaced with new warrants with different terms.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Presentation of Financial Information

Our consolidated financial statements for the period ended January 31, 2012 reflect financial information for the twelve month period ending January 31, 2012, as well as from inception through January 31, 2012 and for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2011.

Since we have not generated any revenue, we have included a reference to our ability to continue as a going concern in connection with our consolidated financial statements for the years ended January 31, 2012 and 2011. Our accumulated stockholders' equity (deficit) at January 31, 2012, was $(4,226,424) and the net loss for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2012 was $(2,461,459). All of our exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized, and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

In order to continue as a going concern, we require additional financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, we would likely be unable to realize the carrying value of our assets reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 in the January 31, 2012 Form 10-K. The critical accounting policies adopted by our company are as follows:

Going Concern

Since we have not generated any revenue, we have negative cash flows from operations, and negative working capital we have included a reference to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in connection with our consolidated financial statements for the period ended January 31, 2012. Our total stockholders' equity (deficit) at January 31, 2012 was $(4,226,424).

Mineral claims

We account for costs incurred to acquire, maintain and explore mineral properties as charged to expense in the period incurred until the time that a proven mineral resource is established at which point development of the mineral property would be capitalized. Currently, we do not have any proven mineral resources on any of our mineral properties.

Convertible promissory notes

We reviewed the convertible promissory notes and the related subscription agreements to determine the appropriate reporting within the financial statements. We report convertible promissory notes as liabilities at their carrying value less unamortized discounts in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. We bifurcate conversion options and detachable common stock purchase warrants and report them as liabilities at fair value at each reporting period when required in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. No gain or loss is reported when the notes are converted into shares of our common stock in accordance with the note's terms.

Common stock purchase warrants

We report common stock purchase warrants as equity unless a condition exists which requires reporting as a derivative liability at fair market value. For common stock purchase warrants reported as a derivative liability, as well as new and modified warrants reported as equity, we utilize the Black-Scholes valuation method in order to determine fair value.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

During the two most recent fiscal years there were no disagreements with Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP would have caused Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP to make reference to the matter in their report.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our directors or officers.

Board and Committee Meetings

The board of directors of our company held four formal meetings in the year ended January 31, 2012 and four formal meetings in the year ended January 31, 2011. All proceedings of the board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada General Corporate Law and the By-laws of our company, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors during the year ended January 31, 2012. Shareholders may contact our President, Larry Liang, to recommend nominees to our board of directors.

For the year ended January 31, 2012 our only standing committee of the board of directors was our audit committee. We do not have a nominating committee or a compensation committee.

Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act.

During fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2011, there were no special meetings held by this committee. The business of the Audit Committee was conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the members of the board and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its board of directors or audit committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, or who is "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

We believe that the members of our board of directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our consolidated financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

1.	any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

2.	any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);

3.	being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities;

4.	being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

5.	being the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of: (i) any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation; or (ii) any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease- and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or (iii) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or,

6.	being the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self- regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the year ended January 31, 2012, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied with.

Code of Ethics

Effective March 15, 2004, our company's board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our company's president and secretary (being our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

1.	honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

2.	full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

3.	compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

4.	the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and

5.	accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company's Senior Officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly Senior Officers, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state securities laws. Any Senior Officer who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2004 as Exhibit 14.1 to our annual report. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp., 5610 E Sutler Ln, Tucson, Arizona 85712.

Director Independence

We have no directors who meet the definition set forth in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Listing Rules of the NASDAQ, which defines an “independent director” generally as a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company, or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada corporate law and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court’s decision.

With Respect to Big Chunk under Item 2 to this report. Provided a minimum of $1,000,000 has been expended by Northern Dynasty on earn in expenses, the convertible notes will be convertible until repaid or deemed repaid, into common shares of our company at the 5 day volume weighted average trading price immediately prior to Northern Dynasty giving a notice of conversion less the maximum allowable discount applicable as if our company's shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Item 17. Undertakings

Undertaking Required by Item 512 of Regulation S-K.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) to file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:

(i) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this rule do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement; and paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is not part of the registration statement.

Provided further, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is for an offering of asset-backed securities on Form S-1 or Form S-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment is provided pursuant to item 1100(c) of Regulation AB.

(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(b) For determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(1) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(2) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the registrant or used or referred to by the registrant;

(3) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the registrant; and

(4) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the registrant to the purchaser.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of a registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

If the registrant is relying on Rule 430A:

(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (an exploration stage company) as of January 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended and for the cumulative period from inception (August 20, 2001) through January 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and its cash flows for the years then ended, and for the cumulative period from inception (August 20, 2001) through January 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage, has suffered recurring losses from operations, and requires additional funds for further exploratory activity prior to attaining a revenue generating status. In addition, the Company may not find sufficient ore reserves to be commercially mined. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 17. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – Organization

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the “Company”, “we” or “Liberty Star”) was formerly Liberty Star Gold Corp. and formerly Titanium Intelligence, Inc. (“Titanium”). Titanium was incorporated on August 20, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 5, 2004 we commenced operations in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business. Big Chunk Corp. (“Big Chunk”) is our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on December 14, 2003 in the State of Alaska. Big Chunk is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business in the State of Alaska. Redwall Drilling Inc. (“Redwall”) was our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on August 31, 2007 in the State of Arizona. Redwall performed drilling services on the Company’s mineral properties. Redwall ceased drilling activities in July 2008 and was dissolved on March 30, 2010. In April 2007, we changed our name to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. We are considered to be an exploration stage company, as we have not generated any revenues from operations.

These consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and cash flows of Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Big Chunk and Redwall, from the dates of acquisition. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) with the on-going assumption that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. However, certain conditions noted below currently exist which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our operations have primarily been funded by the issuance of common stock and debt. Continued operations are dependent on our ability to complete equity financings or generate profitable operations in the future. Management’s plan in this regard is to secure additional funds through future equity financings, joint venture agreements or debt. Such financings may not be available, or may not be available on reasonable terms.

NOTE 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company's consolidated financial statements. Such consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are as follows:

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The valuation of stock-based compensation, classification and valuation of common stock purchase warrants, classification and value of embedded conversion options, value of beneficial conversion features, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, the determination of useful lives and recoverability of depreciable assets, accruals, and contingencies are significant estimates made by management. It is at least reasonably possible that a change in these estimates may occur in the near term.

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Big Chunk and Redwall, from the dates of acquisition, February 5, 2004 and August 31, 2007, respectively. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash and cash equivalents
We consider cash held at banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts which, for periods of time, may exceed federally insured limits. At January 31, 2012 and 2011, we had cash in bank deposit accounts that exceeded federally insured limits of $0 and $751,000, respectively.

Mineral claim costs
We account for costs incurred to acquire, maintain and explore mineral properties as a charge to expense in the period incurred until the time that a proven mineral resource is established, at which point development of the mineral property would be capitalized. Currently, we do not have any proven mineral resources on any of our mineral properties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

NOTE 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies - continued

Property and equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. We capitalize all purchased equipment over $500 with a useful life of more than one year. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while betterments or renewals are capitalized. Property and equipment is reviewed periodically for impairment. The estimated useful lives range from 3 to 7 years.

Convertible promissory notes
We report convertible promissory notes as liabilities at their carrying value less unamortized discounts, which approximates fair value. We bifurcate conversion options and detachable common stock purchase warrants and report them as liabilities at fair value at each reporting period when required in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. When convertible promissory notes are converted into shares of our common stock in accordance with the debt’s terms, no gain or loss is recognized. We account for inducements to convert as an expense in the period incurred, included in debt conversion expense.

Common stock purchase warrants
We report common stock purchase warrants as equity unless a condition exists which requires reporting as a derivative liability at fair market value. For common stock purchase warrants reported as a derivative liability, as well as new and modified warrants reported as equity, we utilize the Black-Scholes valuation method in order to estimate fair value.

Environmental expenditures
Our operations have been and may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. The likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon us are not predictable. We provide for any reclamation costs in accordance with the accounting standards codification section 410-30. It is management’s opinion that we are not currently exposed to significant environmental and reclamation liabilities and have recorded no reserve for environmental and reclamation expenditures at January 31, 2012 and 2011.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company measures and discloses certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Authoritative guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 -	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 -	Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 -	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Income taxes
Income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that enactment occurs. To the extent that the Company does not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009.

Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of basic loss per share gives retroactive effect to an eight for one forward stock split on January 6, 2004 which resulted in 20,000,000 common shares outstanding. The calculation of basic loss per share gives retroactive effect to a one for four reverse stock split on September 1, 2009 which resulted in 67,261,764 common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic loss per share) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock that are not anti-dilutive.

Net loss per share – continued
At January 31, 2012 and 2011, there were 187,086,566 and 204,639,535 potentially dilutive instruments outstanding, respectively. Additionally, at January 31, 2012 and 2011 if settlement of the Convertible Promissory Notes were completed by the issuance of common shares there would be 168,133,677 and 83,846,926 additional shares, respectively. These instruments were not included in the determination of diluted loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.

Recently issued accounting standards
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04 (“ASU 2011-04”) to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in US GAAP and IFRS. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 3– Mineral claims

At January 31, 2012 we held a 100% interest in 431 standard Federal lode mining claims on the Colorado Plateau Province of Northern Arizona (the “North Pipes Claims”).

At January 31, 2012 we held a 100% interest in 66 standard Federal lode mining claims located in the Tombstone region of Arizona. At January 31, 2012 we held an option to explore 33 standard Federal lode mining claims located in the Tombstone region of Arizona. The mineral claims are owned by JABA US Inc, an Arizona Corporation in which two of our directors are owners. At January 31, 2012 we held Arizona State Land Department Mineral Exploration Permits covering 4,126.9 acres in the Tombstone region of Arizona.

At January 31, 2012 we held an option to explore 26 standard Federal Lode mining claims located in the East Silver Bell region of northwest Tucson, Arizona. The mineral claims are owned by JABA US Inc., an Arizona Corporation in which two of our directors are owners.

At January 31, 2012 we held a 100% interest in 612 Alaska State mining claims in the Iliamna region of Southwestern Alaska, located on the north side of the Cook Inlet, approximately 200 miles southwest of the city of Anchorage, Alaska (the “Big Chunk Claims”).

At January 31, 2012 we are required to make a rental payment of $15,800 to the state of Alaska for our Bonanza Hills claims to keep them in good standing and has not been made to date. We are unsure whether we will make the required payment or abandon our interest in these claims. While we have the right to make these rental payments in arrears, the claims are open to staking by another party and we would lose some or all of our rights in those overstaked claims. We held 56 mineral claims covering approximately 13.5 square miles in Southwestern Alaska, located approximately 40 miles northeast of the northern boundary of the Big Chunk claims. We may lose this property at any time.

Title to mineral claims involves certain inherent risks due to difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated titles to all its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, except as noted above for the Bonanza Hills Claims, titles to all properties are in good standing as of January 31, 2012.

NOTE 6 – Convertible promissory notes

We issue convertible promissory notes in private placements of our securities to institutional investors pursuant to exemptions from registration set out in Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933.

On July 15, 2010 we issued a secured convertible promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum compounded monthly (the “Convertible Note”) to Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd (“Northern Dynasty”). During the year ended January 31, 2012 the agreement with Northern Dynasty was amended to issue additional secured convertible promissory notes totaling $730,174 to reimburse Northern Dynasty for assessment work, rental fees, cash in lieu of assessment work and filing fees on the mineral claims that was paid in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012 because we could not come to an agreement on the earn-in option and joint venture agreement with Northern Dynasty. Principal balance of the Convertible Notes at January 31, 2012 and 2011 was $3,730,174 and $3,000,000 respectively. Accrued interest on the Convertible Notes at January 31, 2012 and 2011 was $526,971 and $164,383, respectively.

As part of the transaction noted above, Northern Dynasty can earn a 60% interest in our Big Chunk project in Alaska (the “Joint Venture Claims”) by spending $10,000,000 on those properties over six years. The borrowings from Northern Dynasty may be applied as part of Northern Dynasty’s earn-in requirements. Northern Dynasty’s minimum annual expenditures under the earn-in would be the minimum level necessary to keep the Joint Venture Claims in good standing. Northern Dynasty may elect to abandon the earn-in at any time on 30 days’ notice, so long as sufficient annual labor is performed, or a cash payment in lieu of labor is made, in order to fulfill the annual labor requirements for the Joint Venture Claims for a minimum of 12 months after termination of the earn-in. As of January 31, 2012, no such notice by Northern Dynasty has been received.

The Convertible Note is secured against substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Convertible Note is due for repayment 45 days after the earlier to occur of: (i) Northern Dynasty’s completion of its earn-in to the Joint Venture Claims unless it has elected to deem the entire outstanding balance of the Convertible Note (including interest thereon) to be part of the earn-in expenditure requirements and (ii) termination of Northern Dynasty’s earn-in right by voluntary abandonment provided that $1,000,000 in expenditures has been made; or (iii) termination of Northern Dynasty’s earn-in right on account of a superior third party joint venture offer.

Provided a minimum of $1,000,000 has been expended by Northern Dynasty on earn in expenses, the Convertible Note will be convertible until repaid or deemed repaid, into common shares of our company at the 5 day volume weighted average trading price immediately prior to Northern Dynasty giving a notice of conversion less the maximum allowable discount applicable as if our shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. At January 31, 2012, Northern Dynasty has expended $712,756 of the $1,000,000 earn in expenses. In accordance with authoritative guidance, the contingent beneficial conversion feature on the Convertible Note will not be recorded unless the $1,000,000 earn-in expenditures are expended and the note becomes convertible. The Convertible Note may be prepaid by our company without penalty at any time on 10 days prior notice during which time Northern Dynasty’s conversion rights are unaffected.

If settlement of the Convertible Note occurred on January 31, 2012, we would have been obligated to pay $3,730,174 in principal and $526,971 of accrued interest. If the settlement were completed by the issuance of common shares the conversion price at January 31, 2012 would have been $0.02532 per share for a total of 168,133,677 shares required to convert the Convertible Note.

We have classified the entire amount as a current liability as we were not able to come to terms with an agreement regarding the joint venture agreement at January 31, 2012 and as a result the Convertible Note can be called by Northern Dynasty on 45 days notice.

NOTE 7 – Common stock

Our common shares are all of the same class, are voting and entitle stockholders to receive dividends as defined. Upon liquidation or wind-up, stockholders are entitled to participate equally with respect to any distribution of net assets or any dividends that may be declared.

On September 15, 2010 we issued 22,098,601 common stock purchase warrants exercisable at $0.10 through September 15, 2013 pursuant to a settlement agreement with two of our warrant holders. We also amended the August 2009 common stock purchase warrants for the same two warrant holders pursuant to a settlement agreement. The warrants were increased by 110,493,005 warrants and the exercise price was reduced from $0.02 per common share to $0.002 per common share. On October 15, 2010 we amended the August 2009 common stock purchase warrants for two additional warrant holders pursuant to a settlement agreement. The warrants were increased by 24,219,794 warrants and the exercise price was reduced from $0.02 per common share to $0.002 per common share. We recognized settlement expense of $13,241,020 related to these settlement agreements which is reported under settlement expense on our financial statements. We estimated the fair value of the amended warrants and the new warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model. We used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of stock purchase warrants issued and amended pursuant to the settlement agreements:

Warrant Issuance & Amendment	Expected volatility	Expected dividend yield	Expected term	Risk-free interest rate
September 15, 2010	90%	0%	4.9 years	1.46%
October 15, 2010	90%	0%	4.9 years	1.20%

On October 20, 2010, we sold 25,000,000 units at a price of $0.04 per unit to one investor for net proceeds of $999,980. Each unit consisted of one common share of our company and one non-transferable common stock purchase warrant. Each common stock purchase warrant entitles the investor to purchase one additional common share of our company at a price of $0.056 until October 20, 2013. The securities were issued to an accredited investor pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D.

In June 2011 one investor exercised 21,061,763 of the August 2009 common stock purchase warrants using the cashless exercise provision. The cashless exercise provision allows the investor, if the fair market value of one share of common stock is greater than the exercise price, to elect to receive shares equal to the value of the warrant less a portion of the warrant that is cancelled using a specific formula. We issued 20,000,000 shares of common stock and cancelled 1,061,763 common stock purchase warrants pursuant to the cashless exercise provision. No cash proceeds were received. We issued these shares pursuant to an exemption from registration set out in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

In December 2011, we sold 5,800,000 units at a price of $0.0264 per unit to three investors for net proceeds of $153,120. The financing consisted of 5,800,000 common shares of our company and 5,800,000 whole share non-transferable common stock purchase warrants. Each common stock purchase warrant entitles the investor to purchase one additional common share of our company at a price of $0.03696 until December 13, 2014. The securities were issued to accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D.

In August 2011, we sold 5,000,000 units at a price of $0.02 per unit to one investor for net proceeds of $100,000. The financing consisted of 5,000,000 common shares of our company and 2,500,000 whole share non-transferable common stock purchase warrants. Each common stock purchase warrant entitles the investor to purchase one additional common share of our company at a price of $0.0264 until August 31, 2016. The common stock purchase warrants contain a cashless exercise provision allowing the investor, if the fair market value of one share of common stock is greater than the exercise price, to elect to receive shares equal to the value of the warrant less a portion of the warrant that is cancelled using a specific formula. The common stock purchase warrants also contain an exercise price adjustment whereby if we issue common stock, convertible debt instruments, warrants or stock options prior to the expiration of the warrants or complete exercise of the warrants at a price less $0.04 per common share, then the exercise price of these warrants shall be reduced to such lower price. The securities were issued to an accredited investor pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D.

On January 19, 2012, we entered into a financing agreement with Fairhills Capital Offshore Ltd., whereby Fairhills Capital will provide for a non-brokered financing arrangement of up to $10,000,000. The financing allows but does not require us to issue and sell up to the number of shares of common stock having an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 to Fairhills Capital. Subject to the terms and conditions of the financing agreement and a registration rights agreement, we may, in our sole discretion, deliver a notice to Fairhills Capital which states the dollar amount which we intend to sell to Fairhills Capital on a certain date. The amount that we shall be entitled to sell to Fairhills Capital shall be equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the common stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to the applicable notice date. Our common stock will be valued at a 27.5% discount from the weighted average trading price of our stock for the five (5) trading days before Fairhills Capital receives our notice of sale. The shares that we sell to Fairhills Capital must be registered stock, among other conditions of investment.

In connection with the Fairhills Capital financing agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement dated January 19, 2012, whereby we agreed to file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the registration rights agreement and to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days from January 19, 2012. The registration statement was filed on March 13, 2012 and has not yet been declared effective.

	$	-			-

Management has elected to provide a deferred tax asset valuation allowance equal to the potential benefit due to our history of losses. If we demonstrate the ability to generate taxable income, management will re-evaluate the allowance. The change in the valuation allowance of $176,000 and $(88,000) in the years ended January 31, 2012 and 2011 primarily represents the benefit of the change in net operating loss carry-forwards during the period.

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the ability to utilize net operating losses if a 50% change in ownership occurs over a three year period. Such limitation of the net operating losses may have occurred but we have not analyzed it at this time as the deferred tax asset is fully reserved. We have federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards that are available to offset future taxable income. The schedule below shows the amounts and expiration dates for the net operating loss carry-forwards.

NOTE 14 – Fair value of financial instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, convertible notes payable, notes payable, and warrant liability. It is management's opinion that we are not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. With the exception of the warrant liability, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values based on their short maturities or for long-term debt based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and maturities. Gains and losses recognized on changes in estimated fair value of the warrant liability are reported in other income (expense) as gain (loss) on change in fair value.

We estimate the fair value of the warrant liability using level 3 inputs and the Black-Scholes valuation model. We use historical volatility as a method to estimate expected volatility. At January 31, 2011 we had no financial instruments outstanding that were estimated using level 1, level 2 or level 3 inputs that were deemed material. At January 31, 2012 we had 622,138 whole share purchase warrants outstanding that contain a full ratchet down anti-dilution provision which is triggered if we enter into any issuance priced lower than $0.02 per common share. At January 31, 2012 we had 2,500,000 whole share purchase warrants outstanding that contain a full ratchet down anti-dilution provision which is triggered if we enter into any lower priced issuance than $0.0264 per common share. We used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of the warranty liability at January 31, 2012 and 2011:

On February 12, 2012, we sold 2,000,715 units at a price of $0.02799 per unit to one investor for gross proceeds of $56,000. Each unit consisted of one common share of our company and one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant entitles the investor to purchase one additional common share of our company at a price of $0.03919 until February 3, 2015. The investor is a U.S. Person and is an accredited investor and in issuing securities to the investor we relied on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

In March 2012 one investor exercised 84,615 of the May 2007 common stock purchase warrants using the cashless exercise provision. The cashless exercise provision allows the investor, if the fair market value of one share of common stock is greater than the exercise price, to elect to receive shares equal to the value of the warrant less a portion of the warrant that is cancelled using a specific formula. We issued 21,757 shares of common stock and cancelled 62,858 common stock purchase warrants pursuant to the cashless exercise provision. No cash proceeds were received. We issued these shares pursuant to an exemption from registration set out in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

NOTE 17 – Going concern

The Company is in the exploration stage, has incurred losses from operations, requires additional funds for further exploratory activity and to maintain its claims prior to attaining a revenue generating status. There are no assurances that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties. In addition, the Company may not find sufficient ore reserves to be commercially mined. As such, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm has expressed an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in their opinion attached to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012.

Management is working to secure additional funds through the exercise of stock warrants already outstanding, equity financings, debt financings or joint venture agreements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
