Liberty Star Appoints Matt Westbrook to Board

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. announced two significant developments. Firstly, Matt Westbrook has been appointed to the Board of Directors. Mr. Westbrook brings extensive experience in critical minerals development, national security-focused investment, and strategic engagement with U.S. Government partners, including deep relationships within the Defense and Intelligence Communities. His expertise is expected to be invaluable as Liberty Star increases its engagement with federal agencies concerning domestic critical mineral supply chains. He will play a key role in supporting the company's initiatives across its various projects and its newly defined entity, American Strategic Minerals. Secondly, the company announced the establishment of American Strategic Minerals LLC, a wholly-owned Arizona entity designed to create partnership opportunities in critical minerals essential to U.S. technology and defense infrastructure. Concurrently, Saleem Elmasri is stepping down from the Board of Directors after serving since 2023, though he will continue to support the company as an advisor. The company expressed gratitude for Mr. Elmasri's contributions and excitement for Mr. Westbrook's leadership.
