In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors", that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

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. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report.

As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "Company", and "Liberty Star" mean Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. and our subsidiary Big Chunk Corp., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts refer to U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

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. 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.

These condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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, debt financings, joint venture agreements 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 – Interim financial statement disclosure

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011 as filed with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at July 31, 2011 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Interim results are subject to significant seasonal variations and the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 3 - Summary of significant accounting policies

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding our condensed consolidated financial statements. Such condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of our management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP") in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

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, valuation of common stock purchase warrants, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Big Chunk, from the date of acquisition, February 5, 2004. 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 July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, we had cash in bank deposit accounts that exceeded federally insured limits of $186,000 and $751,000, respectively.

Mineral claim costs
Mineral claim costs of carrying, retaining and developing properties are charged to expense in the period incurred in our geological and geophysical costs.

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 2 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 market value.

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:

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. At July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, there were 171,077,772 and 204,639,535 potentially dilutive instruments outstanding, respectively. Additionally, at July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011 if settlement of the Convertible Promissory Notes were completed by the issuance of common shares there would be 64,675,903 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
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the six months ended July 31, 2011, that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.

NOTE 4 – Property and equipment

The balances of our major classes of depreciable assets are:

NOTE 5 – 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”). Principal balance of the Convertible Note at July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011 was $3,000,000. Accrued interest on the Convertible Note at July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011 was $328,869 and $164,383, respectively.

As part of the transaction noted above, 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 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.

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 July 31, 2011, Northern Dynasty has not yet expended 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.

If settlement of the Convertible Note occurred on July 31, 2011, we would have been obligated to pay $3,000,000 in principal and $328,869 of accrued interest. If the settlement were completed by the issuance of common shares the conversion price at July 31, 2011 would have been $0.05147 per share for a total of 64,675,903 shares required to convert the Convertible Note.

We have classified the entire amount as a current liability as the joint venture agreement has not been finalized at July 31, 2011 and as a result the Convertible Note can be called by Northern Dynasty.

NOTE 6 – 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.

In June 2011 an 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.

As of July 31, 2011, there were 87,413,897 whole share purchase warrants outstanding and exercisable. The warrants have a weighted average remaining life of 2.8 years and a weighted average exercise price of $0.05 per whole warrant for one common share. Whole share purchase warrants outstanding at July 31, 2011 are as follows:

During the six months ended July 31, 2011 there were 12,500,000 vested incentive stock options that expired and no stock options granted. The expired options had a weighted average exercise price of $0.038 per option. At July 31, 2011 there were 778,500 non-qualified stock options outstanding and exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $1.654 per option. At July 31, 2011 there were 82,885,375 incentive stock options outstanding and exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $0.049 per option.

NOTE 8 – Commitments

The Company is 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 the Company must pay the assessment amount in cash in order to maintain the claims. Completion of annual assessment work in the amount of $400 per ¼ section (160 acre) claim or $100 per ¼ -¼ section (40 acre) claim extends the claims for a one-year period from the staking of claims. Assessment work performed in excess of the required amount may be carried forward for up to four years to satisfy future obligations. The Company estimates that the required annual assessments to maintain the claims will be approximately $260,600. We have been informed by Northern Dynasty Minerals Inc. that sufficient funds have been expended by them to maintain the claims until August 31, 2012.

The annual state rentals for the Big Chunk and Bonanza Hills Alaska State mining claims vary from $70 to $280 per mineral claim. The rental period begins at noon September 1^st through the following September 1^st and annual rental payments are due on November 30^th of each year. The estimated state rentals due by November 30, 2011 for the period from September 1, 2011 through September 1, 2012 are $174,580. 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.

In May 2011, we entered into an engagement letter agreement with McNicoll, Lewis & Vlak LLC (“MLV”), whereby MLV agrees to provide certain exclusive and other non-exclusive financial advisory services (the “Services”) to our company, such Services to include general corporate advisory and possible merger/acquisition work involving our company or our core company assets including Big Chunk in Alaska, and Tombstone and North Pipes in Arizona. In consideration for the Services, we have agreed to pay MLV a retainer fee of $20,000 per month which fee may be paid in the form of cash or common shares of our company, however the minimum cash payment shall be $10,000 per month and the common shares will be issued at a price equal to the market price (being the five day closing average price) on the date prior to the date of issuance of those shares, less a 25% discount. We also agreed to pay a success fee on the completion of a merger, acquisition, joint venture, sale, asset sale, asset purchase, strategic investment with a company or companies engaged in the metals and mining industry or vend-in or strategic partnership. We have also agreed to pay a placement fee for any equity or debt offering of which MLV introduced the investor. The placement fee will be payable as to cash and shares.

In December 2010 we entered into a 12 month non-cancellable operating lease for office space. The lease calls for monthly payments of rent plus sales tax of $2,280. We have the option to extend the lease for one additional twelve month term at current market rates. We recognized rent expense of $13,679 during the six months ended July 31, 2011 pursuant to this lease. Future minimum lease payments pursuant to this lease total $10,590 payable during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2012.

In June 2011 we entered into a two year non-cancellable operating lease for warehouse space in Tucson. The lease calls for monthly payments of rent plus sales tax of $3,550. We have the option to extend the lease for one additional two year term at current market rates. We recognized rent expense of $7,100 during the six months ended July 31, 2011 pursuant to this lease. Future minimum lease payments pursuant to this lease total $42,600 payable during the twelve months ended July 31, 2012 and $35,500 payable during the twelve months ended July 31, 2013.

NOTE 10 – 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. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values. Gains and losses recognized on changes in fair value of financial instruments are reported in other income (expense) as gain (loss) on change in fair value. We estimate the fair value of level 3 inputs using the Black-Scholes valuation model. We use historical volatility as its method to estimate expected volatility. At July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011 we had no financial instruments outstanding that were estimated using level 1, level 2 or level 3 inputs.

NOTE 11 – Subsequent events

In August 2011 one investor exercised 2,598,898 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 2,500,000 shares of common stock and cancelled 98,898 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 August 2011 one investor exercised 192,308 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 187,507 shares of common stock and cancelled 4,801 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.

On August 10, 2011, James Briscoe has resigned as the President of our company and Larry Liang has been promoted from Executive Vice President to President. Mr. Briscoe remains our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Geologist.

On September 7, 2011 we announced we entered into a letter agreement with Sagebrush Gold Ltd. to form a joint venture agreement. Under the terms of the letter agreement, all the uranium properties held by Sagebrush and Liberty Star will be transferred to a new corporation in exchange for shares of the new corporation. The letter agreement will terminate on December 31, 2011 if the reorganization is not complete unless extended by both parties. Sagebrush has advanced $100,000 under the agreement and in return, Liberty Star has agreed to issue to Sagebrush 5,000,000 shares of our common stock and 2,500,000 warrants.

NOTE 12– 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 auditors have 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, 2011.

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

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Much of the information included in this quarterly 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".

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”).

Bonanza Hills Project (“Bonanza Hills”): Bonanza Hills is located in the Iliamna region of Southwestern Alaska and we plan to ascertain whether the Bonanza Hills claims possess commercially viable deposits of gold and silver. 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.

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 a reserve (a reserve is a commercially viable mineral deposit). Please refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this Form 10-Q and in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011 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.

On September 7, 2011 we announced that we entered into a letter agreement with Sagebrush Gold Ltd. to form a joint venture agreement. Under the terms of the letter agreement, all the uranium properties held by Sagebrush and Liberty Star will be transferred to a new corporation in exchange for shares of the new corporation. The letter agreement will terminate on December 31, 2011 if the reorganization is not complete unless extended by both parties. Sagebrush has advanced $100,000 under the agreement and in return, Liberty Star has agreed to issue to Sagebrush 5,000,000 shares of our common stock and 2,500,000 warrants.

Results of Operations

Material Changes in Financial Condition for the Six Month Period Ended July 31, 2011

We had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $449,976 as of July 31, 2011 compared to $1,100,315 as of January 31, 2011. We had negative working capital of $(3,061,140) as of July 31, 2011 compared to $(2,193,786) as of January 31, 2011. We received no cash inflows from financing activities during the six months ended July 31, 2011. We utilized our cash funds in order to increase exploration activities at our Tombstone claims through hiring of new staff and working with a geology consulting firm. We also increased our administrative staffing in order

14

to assist our executives in their efforts to raise additional funds for operations. During the six months ended July 31, 2011, the Company purchased computer equipment for $27,883 as part of a project to upgrade our computer systems. We acquired new office space and warehouse space in Tucson, AZ spending approximately $20,700 on rent during the six months ended July 31, 2011.

Material Changes in Results of Operations for the Three and Six Month Periods Ended July 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010

We had a net loss of $(474,609) for the three months ended July 31, 2011 compared to a net loss of $(698,976) for the three months ended July 31, 2010. During the six months ended July 31, 2011 we had a net loss of $(870,009) compared to a net loss of $(1,019,823) for the six months ended July 31, 2010. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, we incurred more costs for exploration, salaries, administrative activities and travel and incurred less costs for interest expense than we did during the three and six months ended July 31, 2010. We hired SRK Consulting Inc. to perform a technical report on our Tombstone claims this year. No significant exploration activities were performed last year. We hired two executive positions, two administrative positions and support staff for our geology department this year. These positions were not staffed during last year. An increase in travel costs was due to an increase in international travel by our executives in an effort to pursue financing sources.

Critical Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Liberty Star 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 our Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011. 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 year ended January 31, 2011. Our total stockholders’ equity (deficit) at July 31, 2011 was $(2,919,668).

Our condensed 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, our condensed 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. Management is working to secure additional funds through the exercise of stock warrants already outstanding, debt financings, equity financings or joint venture agreements. Such financings may not be available, or may not be available on reasonable terms.

Mineral claims

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.

Convertible promissory note

We reviewed the convertible promissory note and the related subscription agreement 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 market value.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at July 31, 2011, which is the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out by Mr. James Briscoe, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Briscoe has concluded that the design and

15

operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as at the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended July 31, 2011 there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 1A.                RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this quarterly 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".

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

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 $449,976 and negative working capital of $(3,061,140) as of July 31, 2011. 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 Convertible Note and private placements of our securities. 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 July 31, 2011 is $(59,839,811). 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, states in their audit report attached to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 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.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

In June 2011 an 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 and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

In August 2011 one investor exercised 2,598,898 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 2,500,000 shares of common stock and cancelled 98,898 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 and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

In August 2011 one investor exercised 192,308 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 187,507 shares of common stock and cancelled 4,801 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 and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

On September 7, 2011 we announced that we entered into a letter agreement with Sagebrush Gold Ltd. to form a joint venture agreement. Under the terms of the letter agreement, all the uranium properties held by Sagebrush and Liberty Star will be transferred to a new corporation in exchange for shares of the new corporation. The letter agreement will terminate on December 31, 2011 if the reorganization is not complete unless extended by both parties. Sagebrush has advanced $100,000 under the agreement and in return, Liberty Star has agreed to issue to Sagebrush 5,000,000 shares of our common stock and 2,500,000 warrants. We expect to rely on an exemption from registration set out in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue these shares and warrants.
