RE: Loan Settlement by Mining Claims Sale and Transfer - Release of all Claims







This final settlement agreement and release of all claims, when signed by Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. and Big Chunk Corp.

The parties hereto specifically agree that as the result of the March 5, 2014 settlement of Big Chunk Corp. v. MBGS, et al, 3AN-12-11654 CI litigation and the subsequent recordation of the lien release based on that settlement, the Settlement Claims that were transferred to U5 Resources in November 2012 pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as amended, are now free and clear of all liens, claims and other encumbrances and the loan obligation of Liberty Star referred to in the Settlement Agreement, as amended, is now deemed fully settled.  Accordingly, this final settlement agreement and release of all claims confirms that all obligations addressed in the November 13, 2012, loan settlement agreement, as amended on November 20, 2012, are extinguished.  The parties further agree that this Agreement serves in lieu of a Closing under the November 13, 2012, agreement and that no Closing is required.
