LAS VEGAS, May 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- First Liberty Power Corp. ( FLPC ), an innovative and diversified mine exploration and development company focused on bringing to market "Mined in America" strategic industrial minerals, is pleased to announce that underground work at their Fencemaker Antimony project is commencing during the 1 ^st week of June, 2013.

Small Mine Development Corp (SMD) has been engaged as the contractor for all underground activities, and will supply the manpower and expertise required to safely bring the Fencemaker mine into production.  The mobilization of the SMD crew, supported by First Liberty's strategic partner Stockpile Reserves LLC (SRL), will result in the completion of reinforcement work on the existing adit and drift.  Following approval of those works by regulatory agencies, the first extraction of Stibnite ore (Antimony) will occur.

Mr. Don Nicholson, CEO of First Liberty, stated, "It is a very significant milestone for our team and partners to be able to announce the commencement of work on the Fencemaker mine for first mining activities.  With the engagement of SMD, we have now added to the team a well-respected company known for getting the job done on time and on budget, which clearly demonstrates our commitment to near term production and revenues."

Mr. James Vogan of SRL further commented, "SRL personnel have completed the Fencemaker mine site reclamation work and are now securing the property and equipment in preparation for SMD's arrival.  Furthermore, the final approval of the Fencemaker Plan of Operations is being coordinated with the U.S. Bureau of Land management (BLM), with an update expected shortly.  We are working systematically and cautiously to ensure that this project proceeds as quickly as possible, but always with safety, regulatory and environmental concerns fully addressed."

First Liberty Power will continue its  Pathways of Progress announcements to inform and update on all advances in company mining and financial operations.
