My oh my, Liberty Silver.

Liberty Silver is teh awesomez!

Let me give you some news releases:

Yahoo, Sep 26th:

Renowned and respected investment advisor and founder of Midas Letter, a subscriber-driven private investment strategy newsletter, James West, has recently reported his overview of the Trinity Silver Project, a Liberty Silver Corp. (LSL.TO) (OTCBB: LBSV) endeavor.

The Trinity Silver Project is located 25 miles northwest of Lovelock, Nevada (Pershing County) and shares its geographical location with major gold and silver producers including one of the largest silver mines in the United States, the Rochester silver mine owned by Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation, which produced 125 million ounces of silver from 1986 to 2010 and has an estimated 120 million silver ounces in reserves.

As reported by West at www.midasletter.com, “In the month of September so far, the company has traded over 20 million shares and doubled in value. Silver itself has traded in a similar trajectory, increasing in value by 35% since mid-summer, and outperforming gold smartly. The most respected and experienced traders in precious metals fully expect the ratio of how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold to head towards 16:1 from its current level of over 50:1. That would imply a silver value of $110 per ounce.

“If Liberty Silver shares continue to trade at such a high beta to the silver futures price, the premium being awarded Liberty Silver could be substantial,” adds West. 

 
My my! What a great buy! Not at all pumpy! But wait! There's more:

From goldstocktrades.com, Sep 11th:

We have become interested in a previous silver producing mine right here in Nevada just about to break into all time highs.  Libery Silver (LBSV) has recently seen a major increase in accumulation and investment interest.  Liberty Silver (LBSV) is permitting and intends to be producing silver at its Trinity Project which was one of the largest silver mines in US history possibly within the next 18-24 months.  Trinity produced five million ounces of silver between 1987 and 1989 before Rio Tinto closed id down when silver prices went below $5.  Now the ballgame has changed as silver may be on its way to test new highs at $50.

The company is now preparing an updated NI 43-101 Resource Estimate and a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).  Liberty is beginning permitting as it believes it could move very quickly into restarting production as it already has an existing open pit mine that was once in production.  Now silver is breaking above $30 and could move significantly higher over the near term possibly into new all time highs should QE3 be announced later this month.  The higher prices has brought a lot of investment interest into this project and makes this project a potential cash cow with huge leverage to the price of silver.

It sounds even more awesome! And still not pumpy!

And here's more quotes from the Gold Report:

James West, Midas Letter (9/26/12) "The math is very straightforward with Liberty Silver Corp.'s Trinity Project: 50 Moz silver at $30/oz, minus cash costs of $15/oz, equals $750M divided by 80M shares outstanding equals $9.38/share. Chop that in half for the sake of conservativeness, and you still get a price of $4.68/common share outstanding—if they don't drill another hole. . .investors are apparently arriving at a similar conclusion. A major Wall Street firm is actively accumulating a position after visiting the property earlier this month. . .after a second, more in-depth look at the company and its project, I decided to jump in. . .what sets Liberty Silver apart from every other TSX and Venture-listed firm is the caliber of the management and board of directors."

David Bond, Silver-Investor.com (8/30/12) "Liberty Silver Corp. has moved aggressively into the silver market and largely under the radar into the stock market as well. The company leap-frogged from the U.S. pink sheets to a full-on listing the Toronto Stock Exchange, without passing 'go' the NASDAQ or the TSX Venture Exchange, largely on the resumes of its board of directors and on the merits of the properties."

Jeb Handwerger, Gold Stock Trades (8/26/12) "We believe Liberty Silver Corp. is dramatically undervalued and overlooked, which is about to change as more analysts and investors become aware of this situation. The company has shown strong accumulation over the past three months during the summer doldrums; this may indicate smart money has been buying in anticipation of positive developments. . .we believe with drilling and exploration and the announcement of a PEA, Liberty Silver could be significantly rerated and its 24 Moz Inferred resource may move to the Measured and Indicated."

This must be an awesome play! And it's still not pumpy!

Oh wait....

Cuz this happened:

IIROC Trading Halt - LSL (all issues)
05 Oct 2012 10:22 ET
CNW Group

The following issues have been halted by IIROC:

Company: Liberty Silver Corp.

TSX Symbol: LSL (all issues)

Reason: Pending Company Contact

Halt Time (ET): 10:01 AM ET

The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) can make a decision to impose a temporary suspension of trading in a security of a publicly listed company, usually in anticipation of a material news announcement by the company. Trading halts are issued based on the principle that all investors should have the same timely access to important company information. IIROC is the national self-regulatory organization which oversees all investment dealers and trading activity on debt and equity marketplaces in Canada.

Whereupon, strangely, very strangely considering how great a stock this is, there was this sort of trading before the TSX halt:

Where 082 is Stifel Nicolaus, 028 is BBS, 095 is Wolverton, and you've got a few Anons in there for good measure. Not exactly your typical traders. Americans fleeing to the Canadian exchange to dump shares during the US freeze perhaps? Or something else?

Here's some of what the Globe and Mail has to say:

IIROC believes it acted as quickly as it could. “It’s not common for the SEC to issue a temporary suspension on a Canadian-listed security and in this case IIROC staff were not notified of the action ahead of time,” Mike Prior, vice-president of surveillance at IIROC, wrote in an e-mail. “In issuing our trading halt, we have requested Liberty Silver release a statement.”
For now, Liberty Silver is simply halted on the TSX (typically a short-term action), but the SEC has issued a trading suspension until Oct. 18. The two-week period will give the regulator time to look into what it described as “a lack of current and accurate information about the company concerning, among other things, the control of its stock, its market price, and trading in the stock.”
For much of this year, Liberty’s shares traded at $1 or less. But a flurry of activity in late August gave the stock some momentum. From January to August, the stock’s trading volumes averaged about 42,000 shares per day, but shot higher heading into the Labour Day weekend. Volumes remained high in September and early October, averaging roughly 236,000 shares per day.
From Aug. 31 to Oct. 4, the day before trading was suspended, Liberty’s share price jumped from 75 cents to $1.58. During this period, the company’s market value climbed to $126-million from $61-million, almost doubling in just over a month.

Wow, eh? Heck of a blow-up.

I don't know what it all means, and it's not like there's any detail to the news, and I'm not interested in fucking around on SEDAR for all weekend trying to do forensics on LSL. Because I don't care about chickenshit pinksheet stocks.

But wow, guys. In particular, James West will certainly be even more renowned and respected after this one.
