**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This annual report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. 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.

All dollar amounts refer to U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Our consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.

As used in this annual report on Form 10-K, the terms "we", "us", the "Company" and "Liberty Star" mean Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. and our subsidiaries, Hay Mountain Holdings, LLC, Earp Ridge Mines LLC, and Red Rock Mines LLC, and American Strategic Minerals LLC, unless otherwise indicated.

**PART I**

**ITEM 1. BUSINESS.**

***Business development***

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. In April 2007, we changed our name to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. Hay Mountain Holdings, LLC, (formerly known as Hay Mountain Super Project LLC) our wholly owned subsidiary, serves as the primary holding company for development of the potential ore bodies encompassed in the Hay Mountain area of interest in Arizona. In April 2019, we formed the first company intended for engagement with future venture partners named Earp Ridge Mines LLC. On August 13, 2020, the Company formed Red Rock Mines, LLC ("Red Rock"), an Arizona corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Hay Mountain Holdings, LLC. On December 17, 2025, we formed American Strategic Minerals, LLC ("American Strategic") also wholly owned subsidiary of Hay Mountain Holdings, LLC. We are in the exploration phase of operations and have not generated any revenues from operations.

***Our current business***

We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the state of Arizona in the Southwest USA. Claims in the state of Arizona are held in the name of Liberty Star. Our projects are described below.

Tombstone Area Exploration Properties: Tombstone is located in Cochise County, Arizona and covers the Tombstone caldera and its environs. All four of our exploration properties within Hay Mountain Holdings LLC, Earp Ridge, Red Rock Canyon, American Strategic Minerals, Tombstone/Robbers Roost lie within or on the flank of the Tombstone caldera structure. We are concentrating our work at Red Rock Canyon at this time. We plan to ascertain whether the Hay Mountain claims possess commercially viable deposits of copper, molybdenum, gold, silver, lead, zinc, manganese, and other metals including Rare Earth Elements (REE's). We have not identified any ore reserves to date, although we have identified mineralized areas which may be of potential economic interest.

Title to mineral claims involves certain inherent risks due to difficulties in determining the validity of certain claims, as well as potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. We have investigated title to all the Company's mineral properties and, to the best of our knowledge, title to all properties retained are in good standing.

The mineral resource business generally consists of three stages: exploration, development, and production. Mineral resource companies that are in the exploration stage have not yet found mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities and are engaged in exploring land in an effort to discover them. Mineral resource companies that have located a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantities and are preparing to extract that resource are in the development stage, while those engaged in the extraction of a known mineral resource are in the production stage. We have not found any mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities.

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 commercially viable one.

To date, we have not generated any revenue. 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.

*Competition*

We are a mineral resource company engaged in the business of mineral exploration. We compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in mineral resource exploration companies. The presence of competing mineral resource exploration companies may impact our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our property acquisitions and exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors.

We also compete for mineral properties of merit with other exploration companies. Competition could reduce the availability of properties of merit or increase the cost of acquiring additional mineral properties.

Many of the resource exploration companies with whom we compete may have greater financial and technical resources than we have. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of properties of merit and on exploration of their properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of resource properties. This competition could result in our competitors having resource properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and to senior exploration companies that may purchase resource properties or enter into joint venture agreements with junior exploration companies. This competition could adversely impact our ability to finance property acquisitions and further exploration.

*Compliance with Government Regulation*

We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the State of Arizona and all other States in which we plan to operate.

We are required to pay annual rentals for our federal lode mining claims for the Tombstone, Hay Mountain Holding LLC project in the State of Arizona. The rental period begins at noon on September 1st through the following September 1st and rental payments are due by the first day of the rental period. As listed on the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) web site, new claims located on or after September 1, 2024, cost $274 each which includes processing, location, and maintenance fees. The annual rentals are $200 per claim after the first year. The rentals due by September 1, 2026, for the period from September 1, 2026, through September 1, 2027, of $18,600 have not been paid yet, however, we plan to pay these fees prior to the due date. All rentals during the year ended January 31, 2026, have been paid.

We are required to pay annual rentals for our Arizona State Land Department Mineral Exploration Permits ("AZ MEP") at our Hay Mountain Holdings LLC project in the State of Arizona. AZ MEP permits cost $500 per permit per year in non-refundable filing fees and are valid for 1 year and renewable for up to 5 years. The rental fee is $2.00 per acre for the first year, which includes the second year, and $1.00 per acre per year for years three through five. The minimum work expenditure requirements are $10 per acre per year for years one and two and $20 per acre per year for years three through five. If the minimum work expenditure requirement is not met the applicant can pay an equal amount in fees to the Arizona State Land Department to keep the AZ MEP permits current. The rental period begins on the date of acceptance for each permit. Rental payments are due by the first day of the rental period. We hold AZ MEP permits for 12,878.18 acres at our Tombstone project. We plan to pay filing and rental fees for our AZ MEPs before their respective due dates in the amount of $33,433. All fees and expenditures due during the year ended January 31, 2026, have been paid.

With respect to the foregoing properties, additional approvals and authorizations may be required from other government agencies, depending upon the nature and scope of the proposed exploration program. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the size, quality of any resource or reserve at this time, and it is extremely difficult to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings or our competitive position.

*Personnel*

Patricia Madaris, VP Finance and Chief Financial Officer will serve as the Interim Chief Executive Officer. The Board also elected Pete O'Heeron as Chairman of the Board. We also employ one full-time CFO, who is also our VP of Finance, one full-time VP of Field Operations (Geology), and one Investor Relations Representative. We hire consultants for investor relations, geology, drilling and exploration, administrative functions, financial and derivative accounting on a as needed basis.

**ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.**

*Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should not invest in our stock unless you are able to bear the complete loss of your investment. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as other information provided to you in this prospectus, including information in the section of this annual report on Form 10-K entitled "Forward-Looking Statements" before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.*

**Risks Related to Our Company and Our Business**

***Our businesses may be materially adversely affected by global pandemic outbreak or the related market decline and volatility.***

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern." On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a "pandemic". The significant outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that is adversely affecting the economies and financial markets worldwide, including the business which we operate and own. Market decline and volatility in connection with a pandemic could also materially and adversely affect any future potential acquisitions. If the disruptions or other matters of global concern such as occurred with COVID should reoccur or continue for an extensive period of time, our operations may be materially adversely affected.

 ****

***If we cannot compete successfully for financing and for qualified managerial and technical employees, our exploration program may suffer.***

Our competition in the mining industry includes large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire additional financing on terms we consider acceptable because investors may choose to invest in our competitors instead of investing in us. We also compete with other mining companies in the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. Our success will be largely dependent on our ability to hire and retain highly qualified personnel. These individuals are in high demand and we may not be able to attract the personnel we need. We may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel or may lose such employees after they are hired. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our exploration program may be slowed down or suspended.

 ****

***Exploration and exploitation activities are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, causing an adverse effect on our company.***

Exploration and exploitation activities are subject to federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and policies, including laws regulating the removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Exploration and exploitation activities are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment.

Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental and other legal standards imposed by federal, state, or local authorities may be changed, and any such changes may prevent us from conducting planned activities or increase our costs of doing so, which would have material adverse effects on our business. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may not be able to or elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. Any laws, regulations or policies of any government body or regulatory agency may be changed, applied, or interpreted in a manner which will alter and negatively affect our ability to carry on our business.

***There are no known reserves of minerals on our mineral claims, and we cannot guarantee that we will find any commercial quantities of minerals.***

We have not found any mineral reserves on our claims and there can be no assurance that any of our mineral claims contain commercial quantities of any minerals. Even if we identify commercial quantities of minerals in any of our claims, there can be no assurance that we will be able to exploit the reserves or, if we are able to exploit them, that we will do so on a profitable basis. Any such efforts will require financing, which we may not be able to arrange.

***Because of the nature of the exploration of natural resource properties, there is substantial risk that this business will fail.***

There is no assurance that any of the claims we explore or acquire will contain commercially exploitable reserves of minerals. Exploration for natural resources is a venture involving substantial risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. We may also become subject to significant liability for pollution or hazards, which we cannot insure or which we may elect not to insure. There is substantial risk that our business will fail.

***Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote, any funds spent on exploration may be lost.***

The probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote. In all probability, our properties may not contain any reserves. As such, any funds spent on exploration may be lost, which would most likely result in a loss of your investment.

***We have a limited operating history and as a result there is no assurance we can operate on a profitable basis.***

We have a limited operating history and must be considered in the exploration stage. Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of an exploration stage enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises, especially those with a limited operating history. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claim may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations of rock or land and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claim and acquire new claims for new exploration or cease operations. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon us possessing capital resources at the time in order to purchase such claims. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations. No assurance can be given that we will ever operate on a profitable basis.

 ****

***If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail and our investors could lose their investment.***

We had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $276,959 and working capital deficit of $422,160 with this change related to an adjustment in derivative liability treatment as of January 31, 2026. We currently do not generate revenue 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. 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 revenue and have never been profitable. We do not have an ownership interest in any revenue generating properties. We were incorporated in 2001 and took over our current business in 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. 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 about our ability to continue as a going concern.***

Our independent registered public accounting firm, M&K CPAS,PLLC., stated in its audit report attached to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 that since we have suffered recurring losses from operations, require additional funds for further exploratory activity prior to attaining a revenue generating status, and we may not find sufficient ore reserves to be commercially mined, there is a substantial doubt about our ability 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 our company.

**Risks Related to Our Common Stock**

***Because we will likely issue additional shares of our common stock, investment in our company could be subject to substantial dilution.***

Investors' interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share when we issue additional shares. We are authorized to issue 229,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share. As of January 31, 2026, there were 92,263,189 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. We anticipate that all or at least some of our future funding, if any, will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. If we do sell more common stock, investors' investment in our company will likely be diluted. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in our company's common stock could seriously decline in value.

 ****

***The sale of our stock under the convertible notes and the common share purchase warrants could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the future decline of our stock price.***

In many circumstances, the provision of financing based on the distribution of equity for companies that are quoted on the OTCQB market has the potential to cause a significant downward pressure on the price of common stock. This is especially the case if the shares being placed into the market exceed the market's ability to take up the increased stock or if we have not performed in such a manner to show that the equity funds raised will grow our business. Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. Regardless of our activities, the opportunity exists for short sellers and others to contribute to the future decline of our stock price. If there are significant short sales of our common stock, the price decline that would result from this activity will cause the share price to decline more, which may cause other stockholders of the stock to sell their shares, thereby contributing to sales of common stock in the market. If there are many more shares of our common stock on the market for sale than the market will absorb, the price of our common shares will likely decline.

***Trading in our common stock on the OTCQB is limited and sporadic, making it difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.***

Our common stock is currently quoted for public trading on the OTCQB. The trading price of our common stock has been subject to fluctuations. Trading prices of our common stock may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common stock will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.

***Our bylaws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.***

Our bylaws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by them, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which they are made parties by reason of their being or having been our directors or officers.

***Our articles of incorporate were changed on June 22, 2020 to add Class A Shares to deter a take-over of our company.***

We amended our bylaws on June 22, 2020 to add Class A shares which have increased voting power of 200 to one per share to deter a hostile take-over of our company, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to establish the terms of the Company's Class A Common Stock (the "Class A Shares"), par value $0.00001 per share, 500,000 shares authorized. The terms of the Class A Shares include 200-1 voting rights in addition to the rights held by common stockholders. Only persons who are current members of the Company's Board of Directors may own or hold Class A Shares. As of January 31, 2026, there were 500,000 shares of Class A Shares issued and outstanding.

***We do not pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our company and any gain on an investment in our company needs to come through an increase in our stock's price.***

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock's price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

***Because our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.***

Our shares as penny stocks, are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our company's securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and furnishing monthly account statements. These rules apply to companies whose shares are not traded on a national stock exchange, trade at less than $5.00 per share, or who do not meet certain other financial requirements specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These rules require brokers who sell "penny stocks" to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" to complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors, and provide investors with certain information concerning the risks of trading in such penny stocks. These rules may discourage or restrict the ability of brokers to sell our shares of common stock and may affect the secondary market for our shares of common stock. These rules could also hamper our ability to raise funds in the primary market for our shares of common stock.

***FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.***

In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

**ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.**

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

**ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY.**

**Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy**

We recognize the importance of assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats, as such term is defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K. These risks include, among other things: operational risks, intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, harm to employees or customers and violation of data privacy or security laws.

We use a third-party vendor to provide a suite of services to assess, identify, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats. These services include providing us with a secure email platform, including content examination and data leak prevention; system monitoring and support, including patch management, anti-virus and threat hunting services; and system backup and recovery services. As we expand our business operations, we plan to evaluate the development of enhanced processes that will allow for the identification and assessment of cybersecurity risk that will be integrated into an overall risk management system, which will be managed by senior management and overseen by the Board of Directors. As part of these developments, we plan to identify and address cybersecurity risks related to our business, privacy and compliance issues through a multi-faceted approach that is expected to include third-party assessments, internal information technology (IT) audit, IT security, governance, risk and compliance reviews. In connection with these planned approaches, and to defend, detect and respond to cybersecurity incidents, we, among other things, will consider: conducting proactive privacy and cybersecurity reviews of systems and applications, audits of applicable data policies, performing penetration testing using external third-party tools and techniques to test security controls, conducting employee training, monitoring emerging laws and regulations related to data protection and information security, and implementing appropriate changes.

As part of the above-planned processes, we may engage external auditors and consultants with expertise in cybersecurity to assess our internal cybersecurity programs and compliance with applicable practices and standards.

We plan to design our risk management program to also assess third-party risks, and we plan to perform third-party risk management to identify and mitigate risks from third parties, such as vendors, suppliers, and other business partners associated with our use of third-party service providers. In addition to new vendor onboarding, we plan to perform risk management during third-party cybersecurity compromise incidents to identify and mitigate risks to us from third-party incidents.

**Cybersecurity Governance**

We expect that cybersecurity will become an important part of our risk management processes and an area of focus for our Board of Directors and management. We expect that our Board of Directors will be responsible for the oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats. We expect our senior management will provide our Board of Directors updates on at least an annual basis regarding matters of cybersecurity. This is expected to include existing and new cybersecurity risks, status on how management is addressing and/or mitigating those risks, cybersecurity and data privacy incidents (if any) and status on key information security initiatives. We expect that our Board members will also engage in periodic conversations with management on cybersecurity-related news events and discuss any updates to our cybersecurity risk management and strategy programs.

Currently, our Chief Executive Officer is expected to lead our cybersecurity risk assessment and management processes and oversee their implementation and maintenance. Our Chief Executive Officer will be tasked with staying informed about, and monitoring the prevention, mitigation, detection and remediation of cybersecurity incidents through his management of, and participation in, the cybersecurity risk management and strategy processes we plan to develop and as described above, including the operation of an incident response plan, and report to the Board of Directors on any appropriate items.

**ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.**

***Our offices***

Our employees work either from our principal office or from offices maintained in their homes. Our corporate office address is 2 East Congress St. Ste. 900, Tucson, AZ 85701.

We currently rent two storage spaces for $403 per month in Tombstone, AZ on a month-to-month basis.

We believe that our existing office facilities are adequate for our needs. Should we require additional space in the future, we believe that such space can be secured on commercially reasonable terms.

***Our mineral claims***

All of the Company's claims for mineral properties are in good standing as of January 31, 2026.

Tombstone:

Tombstone is a large and ancient (72 million years before the present – or Laramide in age) volcanic structure – a caldera. The US Geological Survey caldera experts conclude this is correct. Subsequently, more than seventeen calderas of various ages have been identified in Arizona by the US Geological survey, the Arizona Geological Survey, and others. Such calderas of Laramide age are all associated with porphyry alteration and copper and associated mineralization; many of these have become exceptionally large copper mines. Advanced technology has indicated that alteration associated mineralization at Tombstone is much more extensive than originally thought. This alteration lies largely under cover and is indicated by geochemistry, geophysics, and projection of known geology into covered areas.

All the properties summarized below are considered as "Exploration stage properties" under the definition of Item 1300 and are considered "non-material properties."

**The Hay Mountain Holdings LLC Property** is located 6.5 miles southeast of Tombstone where we hold 31 Arizona State Mineral Exploration Permits (MEPs) covering (12,878.18 acres) or 20.12 square miles, and 93 federal lode mining claims covering (1,594.68 acres) or 2.49 square miles and is accessible by Hwy 80, Davis Rd. and Wild West Road.

At Hay Mountain Holdings Properties, we plan to ascertain whether the Hay Mountain Holdings lode mining claims and AZ MEPs possess commercially viable deposits of copper, gold, molybdenum, silver, zinc, rare earth metals and other valuable metals. We have a phased exploration plan that involves diamond drilling of multiple holes over targets determined by analysis of geochemical sampling and ZTEM electromagnetic and magnetic survey. Initial phase 1 drilling is planned to take approximately one year. Should results indicate the viability of the property, additional phased work, both exploration and development, is planned over the course of seven total years to define the nature and size of any potential ore bodies and move toward mining. Any exploration plans are dependent on acquiring suitable funding. No part of the phased program is currently funded.

From early December 2023 until 3 March 2024, we drilled the first two holes of our Phase 1 drilling project in the Hay Mountain Property (Earp Ridge). Hole HM-23-01 was 1500' deep and hole HM-23-02 was 3437' deep. The first two holes do not provide a sufficient data set to prepare an estimate of the overall mineral resources under S-K 1300. These holes were designed as a 'test of concept' to check the results of the previous geochemical and geophysical work done by us in the past. Hole HM-23-01 was not drilled deep enough to encounter alteration nor mineralization and will be deepened at a future date. Hole HM-23-02 did encounter alteration and mineralization associated with a copper porphyry system, with trace level copper values found in the intrusive rock to 0.1%. Further drilling will be required in this area to begin to understand the scope and source of that mineralization.

Holes 01 and 02 are the first two holes of a much larger phase of planned drilling to be conducted in 2024. A full technical report on the drilling program will be prepared at the conclusion of phase one.

*Geochemical sampling at the Earp Ridge Property*: In 2011 and early 2012 we collected nearly 1,800 rock, soil, and vegetation samples over 621 sample sites over approximately 14 square miles centered on the Hay Mountain Earp Ridge property. These samples have been assayed for multiple elements generating many volumes of analyses. The samples were prepared by MEG Inc. and have been shipped to ALS Global geochemical analysis lab in Vancouver, British Columbia. Assay results were sent to our Tucson office and all assays were received. Liberty Star continues to collect XRF readings and biogeochemical samples to further define the anomalies at Hay Mountain Earp Ridge.

On June 24, 2020 we completed staking an additional 400 acres of Federal Lode Claims contiguous to the Hay Mountain Earp Ridge property. This addition to Liberty Star's mineral claims effectively closes all potential competitors' opportunity to take a State or Federal mineral interest inside the Company's contiguous State and Federal mineral estate.

On October 21, 2019, we acquired 13 new Mineral Exploration Permits (MEP's) for a total of 5,917.82 acres, or 9.25 sq miles bringing our total MEPs at Hay Mountain's Earp Ridge to 28 and 12,557.77 acres or 19.62 sq miles. This new acquisition represents a nearly 89% increase in Liberty Star lands under permit for mineral exploration activities. These acquisitions not only substantially expand Liberty Star's continued exploration potential, but also provide resistance to existing competitive pressures. Liberty Star geochemical and geophysical surface studies indicate anomalies consistent with a large, buried porphyry copper body at the primary target with attendant metals including gold, molybdenum, nickel, silver, zinc, lead, and cobalt. See news release: https://www.libertystaruranium.com/2019/10/21/liberty-star-adds-over-9-square-miles-to-the-hay-mountain- property.

In 2019 Liberty Star contracted Pim van Geffen, PhD, PGeo of Vancouver Geochemistry to provide services in the form of validation and interpretation of our biogeochemical data from the Hay Mountain Property. In particular, the quality of the biogeochemical data was assessed regarding its capacity to support the recognition of buried porphyry-copper and related mineralization in the Property area and inform exploration decisions. A written report on the data assessment, including statements on data quality and utility, interpreted maps, and recommendations for the use of the data and data products in furthering exploration efforts on the Hay Mountain Property have been received. Mr. van Geffen's summary and recommendations are as follows.

The Hay Mountain biogeochemical data, when corrected for known sources of variance such as plant species and laboratory, provide a valuable layer of information to guide exploration efforts for buried and blind porphyry Cu-Mo systems in the property area. Multi-element, aqua-regia ICP-MS data were provided for 750 vegetation samples from the Hay Mountain property area, of mostly creosote, mesquite, and whitethorn acacia twigs and leaves, and a single specimen of sagebrush. Each element was assessed for its data quality and whether known sources of variance caused notable differences in their distribution. These sources of data bias were levelled out using Z-score normalization. The three main sources of induced non-geochemical variance included plant species, laboratory, and batch number. Whereas the three main plant species and two laboratories have adequate spatial and compositional coverage of each sub-group to apply levelling corrections, atypical values in batch number RE11168965 were excluded from output maps for affected elements. In addition to levelling between labs and species, the Cu response is further enhanced by correcting for root uptake of Mg, an essential nutrient, resulting in better spatial definition of anomalies and structural trends in the regression residuals of Cu against Mg. Some structural trends can be inferred from a combination of the Mo distribution with the orientation of lineaments in Google Earth imagery, which warrants more detailed follow-up in combination with geological and geophysical data. Combinations of variables can be used for target identification and search-space reduction through RGB color- composite grid maps, e.g., Cu-Mo-K. Additional RGB maps of other combinations can be provided upon request. A species-classification diagram was constructed based on multivariate discriminant analysis, which highlighted 5 potentially mislabeled entries that required verification, 2 of which were confirmed to be mislabeled. It is strongly recommended to use all outputs of this work in combination with all other geospatial data available, including geophysics, surface geology, structural trends, terrain, and field observations, for search-space definition and targeting purposes.

 

*Geologic Mapping:* Small scale geologic mapping was performed in the Hay Mountain area by two different U.S. Geological Survey Senior Geologists. The first was by James Gilluly starting in the late 1930s and published in the early 1950's, as a Professional Paper 281, 1956, and the second by Harold Drewes, published USGS Professional Paper 1144 1981. The Drewes map was a simplified version of the Gilluly map with faults adjusted to Drewes's interpretation. Both of these mapping projects were regional in nature. Our more detailed mapping indicates that this area has Lower Earp Formation at surface, and we believe that the recently discovered gossan outcrops are lying perhaps 200 to 400 feet above the Earp-Horquilla contact. The Horquilla formation is that from which most of the production from Bisbee has occurred, and in which high grade copper is now being drilled out at Rosemont Camp about 50 miles to the west. Neither Gilluly nor Drewes noticed pervasively fluidized and rounded limestone breccia which covers square miles within the Hay Mountain property and is a typical feature of porphyry copper deposits. We believe perhaps massive copper (chalcopyrite) mineralization will be located in the Horquilla formation 200 to 400 feet below the gossan outcrops in the Earp formation. This analysis plus all of our geochemistry and geophysics is the justification for our currently planned drill program.

On August 16, 2020 we received our July 2020 Field Mapping Report prepared by Geologist Daniel Koning. The new field mapping report was commissioned by Liberty Star to "identify alteration and veining associated with an inferred porphyry copper system at depth, determine the extent of hydrothermal alteration, and comment on the possible timing of mineralization." Geologist Koning conducted the mapping from July 14<sup>th</sup> to August 5<sup>th</sup>, accompanied by Liberty Star Field Ops Manager Jay Crawford and for 3 days, the Company's prior CEO/President Brett Gross. The 50- page report contains over 50 new maps and sample images. In his Hay Mountain Property July 2020 Field Mapping Report, Koning concludes "Type 1 and type 2 veins are interpreted as fluid escape structures representing the distal and possibly upper expression of a porphyry system at depth. The overall extent of type 1 and type 2 veining across the property could indicate significant skarn and CRD development at depth." [page 48] He further finds that his work "correlates with the Cu, Mo, and Au biogeochemical anomalies identified by Dr. Pim van Geffen, and the magnetic and ZTEM anomalies identified by Alan King's 3D model. Because of this, the center of the inferred porphyry system at Hay Mountain is interpreted to be southwest of the Zebra Hills under post-mineral cover." [page 48]

ZTEM EM *Survey*: We requested and received a cost estimate from Geotech of Aurora (Toronto area) Ontario, Canada, which is the only purveyor of this helicopter borne electromagnetic (EM) geophysical method. This geophysical method has the ability to "look down" into the crust of the earth about 2,000 meters (6,600 feet) and detect sulfides and other rock types and structures which may be associated with porphyry copper systems. Test work over known Safford, Arizona porphyry copper deposits along with thousands of verifying drill holes show the geometry of such mineral systems can be determined, thus identifying whether it is a porphyry copper system or some other mineral system. When combined with our geochemical data, we can determine the position of the copper-moly center of the system and design our drill program to efficiently test and define mineralization. We flew ZTEM in July 2013 and the analysis report was received in February 2014. In 2019, a re-interpretation of the ZTEM and the magnetic data with focus on porphyry targets was performed on the basis of more rigorous 3D inversion tools. Based on the 3D ZTEM and the 3D MVI inversion results, Geotech has recommended the following: Integrate the newly obtained results with all available geological, geochemical and drilling info (if available) to better define and prioritize exploration targets; Follow-up with deep-penetrating ground IP and ground TDEM detailed surveys on the 1<sup>st</sup> priority potential porphyry target Zd1and then the 2<sup>nd</sup> priority targets Zs1and Zs2 for better definition of their depth and shape; Follow-up with detailed ground MT survey the Zd1target for its investigation at depth; Drill testing of the Zd1target with deep holes should be performed after ground verification with ground geophysics. See news release: <u>https://www.libertystaruranium.com/2019/09/30/liberty-star-hires-geotech-ltd-to-update-hay-mountain-project-ztem-data/</u>

In 2019 Liberty Star contracted Alan King, P.Geo., M.Sc. at Geoscience North to prepare a geophysical review of all the geochemical and geophysical data. Their conclusions and recommendations are- The full 3D Geoscience Analyst (GA) integrated model, which was provided as part of the review, should be used for targeting as there is much more detail and dynamic viewing available in the live 3D model than in the 2D screen captures of the model shown in the report. The new 3D models based on the ZTEM data should be reviewed with respect to the previous ground IP/Res, CSAMT etc. data, which were mentioned in the SRK report. The core anomalous area has complex Magnetic and EM signatures in an area of structural complexity, with associated well defined geochemical anomalies. Drill testing is recommended to test this area. Physical properties such as mag susceptibility, electrical conductivity, density, and IP effect would be helpful for further interpretation. These could be acquired on existing rock samples from the area or on core samples from any new drilling or with in-situ borehole geophysical surveys in any new Drill holes. The main target remains the core geochemical/geophysical anomaly and drill testing of this target is recommended. The combined EM and magnetic models show a thicker tabular conductive feature together with an area of high magnetic/structural complexity in the core of a large magnetic depletion zone, coincident with the core of the geochemical anomalies. See news release: <u>https://www.libertystaruranium.com/2021/01/31/liberty-star-minerals-lbsrtechnical- data-studies-available/</u>

**The Tombstone exploration property** consists of nine federal claims that are undeveloped. However, significant amounts of aeromagnetic surveys, IP (Induced Polarization Surveys), geologic mapping by the USGS and others, and geochemical surveys including soil, rock and vegetation sampling have been conducted at various times by various parties, over the last 60 years. When compiled and analyzed these various data suggest a compelling series of anomalies that are typical of buried, dirt and rock covered porphyry copper system(s). Below is a summary of prior exploration activities performed on our Tombstone claims: *Technical Report*: In mid-March 2011, Liberty Star contracted SRK to prepare three (3) Technical studies and Reports in a form similar to mineral reports prescribed under NI 43-101. Members of SRK's engineering/scientific staff supervised by a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101 and SRK's Tucson Office Principal Geologist, Corolla Hoag, and geologist Dr. Jan Rasmussen have visited the Tombstone property. This information was combined with historic technical reports going back to 1878 and more recent data up to August 2011 (the date of their reports). The three Technical Reports are entitled: (1) Walnut Creek Exploration Report, Tombstone District, Arizona –August 31, 2011, 147 pages; (2) The Tombstone Caldera South Exploration Report, Tombstone District, Arizona –August 31, 2011, 144 pages; and (3) Hay Mountain Exploration Report, Tombstone District, Arizona – August 31 2011, 155 pages. These reports covered the entirety of the historic productive area of the Tombstone mines which date to their discovery in 1877. These Technical Reports thoroughly summarize and illustrate the salient geotechnical data of the Tombstone Mining District covering about 250 square miles and present much data in computer map format. In such context, they analyze Liberty Star's exploration property as related to the entire area and recommend exploration programs for the Company.

**Robbers Roost exploration property.** On June 15, 2020, we received 2 Mineral Exploration Permits (MEPs) issued by the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) covering the 240-acre Robbers Roost exploration area. Located approximately 4.5 miles southwest of Tombstone, Arizona, the property is accessible via the paved Charleston Road. The new MEPs are 5.89 miles west of Liberty Star's Hay Mountain Property for porphyry copper, gold, and molybdenum. While the Robbers Roost MEP area is new to the Company, it has been explored previously by several exploration companies, in the 1970's and 1990's, and recently has received significant interest from others operating in the area. Drilling by ASARCO indicates "the presence of a granodioritic porphyry intrusive at depth below the alteration zone. The intrusive is characterized by porphyry copper style alteration and mineralization." [JB Nelson, "Robbers' Roost Summary Report," 1995, p. 2 http://docs.azgs.az.gov/SpecColl/2008-01/2008-01- 0103.pdf)

**Red Rock Canyon exploration propert**y. On November 11, 2020, we announced the identification of potentially exploitable gold mineralization in our recently acquired State of Arizona Mineral Exploration Permits (MEPs) contiguous with and immediately north of drill Target 1 in the Company's Hay Mountain Earp Ridge Property. The relevant MEPs are in Township 20, Range 23 East, specifically eight sections 27 through 34 and two additional MEPs, in sections 20 and 21. Preliminary surface exploration on the Red Rock MEPs advanced the Company's knowledge of the porphyry system signature associated with magnetic highs at, and adjacent to the north of, Target 1, and represent the expansion of biogeochemical, surface rock sampling, and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) work at Target 1 and on the anticipated gold halo likely associated with the indicated porphyry center.

On January 22, 2025, we announced results from our channel sampling program with some samples returning gold grades of 107.5 g/t and 60.0 g/t collected along the high-grade zone. This extends known mineralization by another 100' considering other parallel and related gold bearing structures within the RRC Project area. Historical work in the area regarded these structures as feeder zones to areas of sedimentary strata bound gold enrichment. The presence of flat lying gold enrichment cannot be confirmed by channel sampling of the jasperoid structures and will require drilling.

While the current channel sampling program tests the top of the vertical mineralized structures, past drilling has proven the existence of flat lying zones of gold enrichment within the Colina and Earp formations on site. Current sampling has not only extended the length of the known high-grade zone but also discovered 6 other lenses of jasperoid' s running at greater than 0.5 g/t Au over more than 2' widths.

On October 21, 2025, we conducted an induced polarization (IP) and resistivity test over known gold-bearing veins at our wholly owned Red Rock Canyon Gold Project within the Hay Mountain Project in southeast Arizona. The geophysical test performed in July 2025 has proven highly successful in detecting and characterizing gold-bearing veins. The three major takeaways from the IP test demonstrate: Gold-bearing veins are readily detected, easily mapped, and can be characterized with electrical geophysics. The gold-bearing veins exhibit higher resistivity than the hosting limestone due to their siliceous, jasperoidal character, making them detectable using simple resistivity even where soil cover has rendered them invisible. Additionally, the gold-bearing veins display higher IP values than the hosting limestone, confirming their association with sulfide mineralization including pyrite and arsenopyrite, characteristic of Carlin-style deposits.

Liberty Star has performed many hours of field work mapping and sampling on our Red Rock Canyon Gold Property. The results of the geochemical sampling indicate the presence of gold mineralization on the property.

**<u>Sampling Protocols for all properties</u>**

Liberty Star trains all employees/contractors conducting sample collection in the use of a handheld XRF (X-ray Fluorescence analyzer) to record accurate readings of 31 elements including gold, silver copper, molybdenum, uranium, thorium, manganese, and other elements from each in situ sample. The XRF device leads the sampler through a series of dropdown menu windows with various description capabilities and the ability to record a GPS coordinate of the location. Data from the XRF is uploaded to our computer database daily. The X-ray (XRF) is now a recognized and a valuable portable assay tool.

Liberty Star also uses professionally created video training to teach samplers the proper techniques of obtaining a representative sample whether it is soil, rock or vegetation and instruction on avoiding cross contamination between samples. After samples are collected, they are stored in a secure location until they are delivered to a sample preparation lab in Tucson, Arizona operated by ALS Global. ALS Global prepares the samples by crushing, mixing, pulverizing, and homogenizing. From each sample submitted, a 200-gram sample is scientifically split for shipment to ALS Global's main analysis lab in Vancouver, British Columbia. Standards, blanks, and duplicates are added to the sample stream for Quality Assurance Quality Control (QA/QC.) Every) tenth sample is a QA/QC sample. Once Liberty Star gets the analysis data back from the laboratory, checks for quality assurance and control are made using data from the blanks, standards, and duplicates. The results are sent to Liberty Star by email and a paper copy mailed for verification and as a permanent record.

**ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.**

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB of the OTC Markets under the symbol, "LBSR." The OTC Market is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current "bids" and "asks," as well as volume information. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTCQB is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated or have little to do with a company's operations or business prospects.

The following table sets forth the range of high and low closing bid quotations for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTC Markets. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

***Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements***

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

***Presentation of Financial Information***

Our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 reflect financial information for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025 and 2026.

Since we have not generated any revenue, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern in connection with our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025. Our accumulated deficit on January 31, 2026, was approximately $61 million and a net loss from operations for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 was $1,243,521. All of our exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

These 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, these 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.

In order to continue as a going concern, we require additional financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, we would likely be unable to realize the carrying value of our assets reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

***Critical Accounting Policies***

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K. 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 period ended January 31, 2026. Our total stockholders' deficit at January 31, 2026 was $449,855.

These 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, these 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.

 

*Mineral claims*

We account for costs incurred to acquire, maintain, and explore mineral properties as charged 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 notes*

We reviewed the convertible promissory notes and the related subscription agreements 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. The valuation of the derivative liability of the warrants is determined through the use of a Monte Carlo options model that values the liability of the warrants based on a risk-neutral valuation where the price of the option is its discounted expected value.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the Company) as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Going Concern**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered recurring losses, a large accumulated deficit as of January 31, 2026 and has no revenues to fully fund the operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matters**

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

*Going Concern*

 

Due to the net loss for the year, the Company evaluated the need for a going concern.

Auditing management's evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgement given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses which are not able to be substantiated.

As discussed in Note 3, the Company has incurred recurring losses and as of January 31, 2026, had an accumulated deficit and no revenues for either audited year.

To evaluate the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluated the financial information along with management's plans to mitigate the going concern and management's disclosure on going concern.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2024.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**NOTE 1 – Organization**

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the "Company," "we," "our," 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") was our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on December 14, 2003 in the State of Alaska. Until 2016 Big Chunk was engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business in the State of Alaska until its dissolution on July 26, 2019. Redwall Drilling Inc. ("Redwall") was our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on August 31, 2007 in the State of Arizona. Redwall performed drilling services on the Company's mineral properties. Redwall ceased drilling activities in July 2008 and was dissolved on March 30, 2010. We formed the wholly owned subsidiary, Hay Mountain Super Project LLC ("HMSP") incorporated on October 24, 2014, to serve as the primary holding company for development of the potential ore bodies encompassed in the Hay Mountain area of interest in Arizona. We renamed HMSP to Hay Mountain Holdings LLC ("HMH") on March 5, 2019. In April 2007, we changed our name to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. On February 22, 2019, the Company registered the tradename 'Liberty Star Minerals' with the state of Arizona to be recognized as 'doing business as', or 'd/b/a' Liberty Star Minerals. We have not generated any revenues from operations. On April 11, 2019 we formed a new subsidiary named Earp Ridge Mines LLC ("Earp Ridge") wholly owned by HMH. On August 13, 2020, the Company formed Red Rock Mines, LLC ("Red Rock"), an Arizona corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Hay Mountain Holdings, LLC. On December 17, 2025, the Company formed American Strategic Minerals, LLC ("American Strategic"), an Arizona corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary of HMH.

**NOTE 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies**

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company's consolidated financial statements. Such consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company's 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 consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are as follows:

*Use of estimates*

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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, classification and valuation of common stock purchase warrants, classification and 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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary HMH and the HMH wholly owned subsidiaries Earp Ridge, Red Rock and American Strategic. 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. On January 31, 2026 and 2025, we had no cash balances in bank deposit accounts that exceeded federally insured limits.

*Mineral claim costs*

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.

*Long-lived assets and impairment of long-lived assets*

Property and equipment are 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 are reviewed periodically for impairment. The estimated useful lives range from 3 to 7 years.

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a long-lived asset group to be held and used in operations is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less the costs of disposal.

*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 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.

*Derivative liabilities*

The valuation of the derivative liability of our warrants is determined through the use of a Monte Carlo options model that values the liability of the warrants based on a risk-neutral valuation where the price of the option is its discounted expected value. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random) price paths for the underlying common stock via simulation, and then calculates the associated exercise value (i.e., "payoff") of the option for each path. These payoffs are then averaged and discounted to a current valuation date resulting in the fair value of the option.

The valuation of the derivative liability attached to the convertible debt is arrived at through the use of a Monte Carlo model that values the derivative liability within the notes. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random) price paths for the underlying (or underlyings) via simulation, and then calculates the associated payment value (cash, stock, or warrants) of the derivative features. The price of the underlying common stock is modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift, and elastic volatility (increasing as stock price decreases). The stock price is determined by a random sampling from a normal distribution. Since the underlying random process is the same, for enough price paths, the value of the derivative is derived from path dependent scenarios and outcomes. The features in the notes are analyzed and incorporated into the model included the conversion features with the reset provisions, the call/redemption/prepayment options, and the default provisions. Based on these features, there are six primary events that can occur; payments are made in cash; payments are made with stock; the note holder converts upon receiving a redemption notice; the note holder converts the note; the issuer redeems the note; or the Company defaults on the note. The model simulates the underlying economic factors that influenced which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time (i.e., stock price, conversion price, etc.). Probabilities are assigned to each variable such as redemption likelihood, default likelihood, and timing and pricing of reset events over the remaining term of the notes based on management projections. This leads to a cash flow simulation over the life of the note. A discounted cash flow for each simulation is completed and is compared to the discounted cash flow of the note without the embedded features, thus determining a value for the derivative liability.

 

 

*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 value. The valuation of the derivative liability of the warrants is determined through the use of a Monte Carlo options model that values the liability of the warrants based on a risk-neutral valuation where the price of the option is its discounted expected value.

*Stock based compensation*

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation for all share-based payment awards made to employees and non-employees based on the estimated fair values of the stock or options. The fair value of options to be granted are estimated on the date of each grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and amortized ratably over the option's vesting periods, which approximates the service period.

*Environmental expenditures*

Our operations have been and may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. The likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon us are not predictable. We provide for any reclamation costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 410-30 "*Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations*". It is management's opinion that we are not currently exposed to significant environmental and reclamation liabilities and have recorded no reserve for environmental and reclamation expenditures as of January 31, 2026 or 2025.

*Fair value of financial instruments*

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, convertible notes payable, notes payable, and derivative liability. It is management's opinion that we are not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. With the exception of the derivative liability, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values based on their short maturities or for long-term debt based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and maturities. Gains and losses recognized on changes in estimated fair value of the warrant liability are reported in other income (expense) as gain (loss) on change in fair value.

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:

<u>Level 1</u> – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

<u>Level 2</u> – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

<u>Level 3</u> – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

*Income taxes*

Income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that enactment occurs. To the extent that the Company does not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of operations.

*Net income (loss) per share*

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common stock equivalents are determined using the treasury stock method. For diluted net income (loss) per share purposes, the Company excludes stock options and other stock-based awards, including shares issued as a result of option exercises that are subject to repurchase by the Company, whose effect would be anti-dilutive from the calculation.

During the year ended January 31, 2026, the impact of 8,153,669 stock options and 6,871,508 warrants were excluded from the calculation as their impact would be anti-dilutive. During the year ended January 31, 2025, the impact of 3,765,498 stock options and 846,052 warrants were considered for their dilutive effects.

A reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in basic and diluted earnings per share computation is as follows:

*Segments Reporting* 

The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purpose of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company's CEO, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), manages our segments, evaluates financial results, and makes key operating decisions. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of the Company using information about combined net income from operations. All significant operating decisions are based upon an analysis of the Company as one operating segment, which is the same as its reporting segment.

*Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements*

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures* ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced disclosures surrounding income taxes, particularly related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. In particular, on an annual basis, companies will be required to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Companies will also be required to disclose, on an annual basis, the amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions above a quantitative threshold. The standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted for all prior periods presented. We adopted ASU No. 2023-09 during the year ended December 31, 2025, with no material impact to the Company's financial statements or results of operations.

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)* ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires specified information about certain costs and expenses be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, including the expense caption on the face of the income statement in which they are disclosed, in addition to a qualitative description of remaining amounts not separately disaggregated. Entities will also be required to disclose their definition of "selling expenses" and the total amount in each annual period. The standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027 and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2028, with updates applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides updates related to CECL guidance for certain short-term receivables. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures.

The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

**NOTE 3 – Going concern**

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP with the ongoing 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 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 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.

The Company has incurred losses from operations, has a working capital deficit and 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, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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

**NOTE 4 – Mineral claims**

At January 31, 2026, we held a 100% interest in 93 standard federal lode mining claims located in the Tombstone region of Arizona.

At January 31, 2026, we held 31 Arizona State Land Department Mineral Exploration Permits covering 12,878.18 acres in the Tombstone region of Arizona.

Title to mineral claims involves certain inherent risks due to difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of many mineral properties.

All of the Company's claims for mineral properties are in good standing as of January 31, 2026.

**NOTE 5 – Property and equipment**

The balances of our major classes of depreciable assets and useful lives are:

**NOTE 7 – Derivative Liabilities**

The embedded conversion feature in the convertible debt instruments that the Company issued (See Note 6), that became convertible during the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, qualified it as a derivative instrument since the number of shares issuable under the note is indeterminate based on guidance in ASC 815, "*Derivatives and Hedging*". This convertible note tainted all other equity linked instruments including outstanding warrants and fixed rate convertible debt on the date that the instrument became convertible.

The valuation of the derivative liability of the warrants was determined through the use of a Monte Carlo options model that values the liability of the warrants based on a risk-neutral valuation where the price of the option is its discounted expected value. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random) price paths for the underlying common stock via simulation, and then calculates the associated exercise value (i.e., "payoff") of the option for each path. These payoffs are then averaged and discounted to a current valuation date resulting in the fair value of the option.

The valuation of the derivative liability attached to the convertible debt was arrived at through the use of a Monte Carlo model that values the derivative liability within the notes. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random) price paths for the underlying (or underlyings) via simulation, and then calculates the associated payment value (cash, stock, or warrants) of the derivative features. The price of the underlying common stock is modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift, and elastic volatility (increasing as stock price decreases). The stock price is determined by a random sampling from a normal distribution. Since the underlying random process is the same, for enough price paths, the value of the derivative is derived from path dependent scenarios and outcomes. The features in the notes that were analyzed and incorporated into the model included the conversion features with the reset provisions, the call/redemption/prepayment options, and the default provisions. Based on these features, there are six primary events that can occur; payments are made in cash; payments are made with stock; the note holder converts upon receiving a redemption notice; the note holder converts the note; the issuer redeems the note; or the Company defaults on the note. The model simulates the underlying economic factors that influenced which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time (i.e., stock price, conversion price, etc.). Probabilities were assigned to each variable such as redemption likelihood, default likelihood, and timing and pricing of reset events over the remaining term of the notes based on management projections. This led to a cash flow simulation over the life of the note. A discounted cash flow for each simulation was completed, and it was compared to the discounted cash flow of the note without the embedded features, thus determining a value for the derivative liability.

Key inputs and assumptions used to value the convertible note when it became convertible and upon settlement, and warrants upon tainting, were as follows:

● The stock projections are based on the historical volatilities for each date. The volatility of 196.0 % is based on historical prices over a lookback period equivalent to the expected term of 0.55 years. The stock price projection was modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and constant volatility, starting with the recast stock price at each valuation date;

● The Holder will exercise the warrant at maturity if the stock price was above the exercise price;

● Discount rate was based on risk free rates of 3.57 % in effect based on the remaining term and date of each valuation and instrument;

● Dividend yield: 0 %;

● Exercise Price: $20 M/number shares issued and outstanding at maturity (exercise date);

● Number of Options: $1 M/exercise price; and

● The shares issued and outstanding is based on the initial 10,888,894 shares as of 10/31/21 to 92,263,189 shares as of 1/31/26 and a 3.04 % growth (a similar growth from last quarter) monthly at 1/31/26 and future financing events raising $500,000 annually through the sale of common stock at a 25 % discount.

Using the results from the model, the Company recorded a derivative liability during the year ended January 31, 2026 of $52,975 for the fair value of the convertible feature included in the Company's convertible debt instruments. The derivative liability recorded for the convertible feature created a "day 1" derivative loss of $0 and a debt discount of $158,809 that is being amortized over the remaining term of the note using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense related to the amortization of this debt discount for the year ended January 31, 2026, was $158,809. The remaining unamortized debt discount related to the derivative liability was $0 as of January 31, 2026.

Management has elected to provide a deferred tax asset valuation allowance equal to the potential benefit due to our history of losses. If we demonstrate the ability to generate future taxable income, management will re-evaluate the allowance. The decrease of $53,000 during the year ended January 31, 2026, primarily represents the increase in net operating loss carry-forwards during the period offset against the valuation allowance. As of January 31, 2026, our estimated net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $34 million and expires beginning in 2026 through 2038, with no expiration date for our 2019 through 2023 net operating losses under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Deferred tax assets were calculated using the Company's effective tax rate, which it estimated to be 21%. The effective rate is reduced to 0% for 2025 and 2024 due to the full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.

We have identified our federal and Arizona state tax returns as "major" tax jurisdictions. The periods our income tax returns are subject to examination for these jurisdictions are the tax years ended January 31, 2019 through January 31, 2022. We believe our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained through the audit, and we do not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no liabilities for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the ability to utilize net operating losses if a 50% change in ownership occurs over a three-year period. Such limitation of the net operating losses may have occurred but we have not analyzed it at this time as the deferred tax asset is fully reserved. We have federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards that are available to offset future taxable income.

**ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.**

*Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed 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 rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2026. Based upon such review and evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the date of such evaluation due to the size and nature of the existing business operation. Given the size of our current operation and existing personnel, the opportunity to implement internal control procedures that segregate accounting duties and responsibilities is limited. Until the organization can increase in size to warrant an increase in personnel, formal internal control procedure will not be implemented until they can be effectively executed and monitored.

*Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion of this evaluation. Based on its evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of January 31, 2026 due to the size and nature of the existing business operation. Given the size of our current operation and existing personnel, the opportunity to implement internal control procedures that segregate accounting duties and responsibilities is limited. Until the organization can increase in size to warrant an increase in personnel, formal internal control procedure will not be implemented until they can be effectively executed and monitored.

The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (1) pertain to maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Our management, including the Board of Directors, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. In addition, the design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and controls may become inadequate if conditions change. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Management identified the following material weakness during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of January 31, 2026.

a) Lack
 of proper segregation of duties due specifically to the small size of the Company.

The Company's management is committed to improving the Company's internal controls and will: (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities; (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel.

Until the organization can increase in size to warrant an increase in personnel, formal internal control procedure will not be implemented until they can be effectively executed and monitored. As a result of the size of the current organization, there will not be significant levels of supervision and review.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 40©) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

*Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting*

There were no changes to the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2026.

***Family Relationships***

There are no family relationships among our directors or officers.

***Board and Committee Meetings***

The board of directors of our company held 15 formal meetings during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. Shareholders may contact our interim CEO, Patricia Madaris, to recommend nominees to our board of directors.

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, our standing committee of the board of directors was our audit committee. The board of directors also serves as required as nominating committee and compensation committee.

***Audit Committee***

Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act.

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, the audit committee did not hold any meetings. Rather, the business of the audit committee was conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the members of the board and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board.

***Audit Committee Financial Expert***

Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its board of directors or audit committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

We believe that the members of our board of directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our consolidated financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date.

***Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings***

Our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past 10 years:

1. any
 bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the
 time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

2. any
 conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor
 offences);

3. being
 subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction,
 permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities,
 or banking activities;

4. being
 found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have
 violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

5. being
 the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently
 reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of: (i) any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation;
 or (ii) any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary
 or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease- and-desist order,
 or removal or prohibition order; or (iii) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business
 entity; or,

6. being
 the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self- regulatory organization
 (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of
 the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over
 its members or persons associated with a member.

***Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance***

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 9.99% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the SEC and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 4.99% & 9.99% percent beneficial owners were complied with.

***Code of Ethics***

Effective March 15, 2004, our company's board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all employees, including our company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and VP Finance. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

1. honest
 and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional
 relationships;

2. full,
 fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other
 public communications made by us;

3. compliance
 with applicable governmental laws, rules, and regulations;

4. the
 prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified
 in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and

5. accountability
 for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that
 all of our company's Senior Officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain
 confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly senior officers, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state securities laws. Any senior officer that becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was filed with the SEC on March 13, 2004, as Exhibit 14.1 to our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp., 2 E. Congress St. Ste. 900, Tucson, AZ 85701.

***Insider Trading Policy***

The Company has an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale and other dispositions of the Company's securities that applies to all Company personnel, including directors, officers, employees, and other covered persons. The Company believes that its insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Company. A copy of the Company's insider trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this Form 10-K.

No director received and/or accrued any cash compensation for their services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments.

**ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.**

We have set forth in the following table certain information regarding our common stock beneficially owned on April 27, 2026 for (i) each shareholder we know to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock, (ii) each of our named executive officers and directors, and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group. In general, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which the person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. All percentages are calculated based upon a total number of 103,341,034 shares of common stock and 500,000 Class A common stock issued and outstanding as of April 27, 2026, plus, in the case of the individual or entity for which the calculation is made, that number of options or warrants owned by such individual or entity that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

## Exhibit 19.1

**Exhibit 19.1**

**Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. ("LBSR") Policy on Insider Trading**

This Insider Trading Policy provides the standards of LBSR (the "**Company**") on trading and causing the trading of the Company's securities while in possession of confidential information. This policy prohibits trading in certain circumstances and applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Company (collectively, "**Covered Persons**").

One of the principal purposes of the federal securities laws is to prohibit so-called "insider trading." Simply stated, insider trading occurs when a person uses material non-public information obtained through involvement with the Company to make decisions to purchase, sell, or otherwise trade the Company's securities or to provide that information to others outside the Company. The prohibitions against insider trading apply to trades, tips and recommendations by virtually any person, including all persons associated with the Company, if the information involved is "material" and "non-public." These terms are defined in this Policy under Part I, Section 3 below. The prohibitions would apply to any director, officer or employee who buys or sells Company stock on the basis of material non-public information that he or she obtained about the Company, its customers, suppliers, or other companies with which the Company has contractual relationships or may be negotiating transactions.

**PART I**

**<u>1. Applicability</u>**

This Policy applies to all transactions in the Company's securities, including common stock, options and any other securities that the Company may issue.

This Policy applies to all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, all officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and all members of the Company's board of directors.

**<u>2. General Policy: No Trading or Causing Trading While in Possession of Material Non-public Information</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(a)</u>.** No director, officer or employee may purchase or sell any Company security while in possession of material non-public information about the Company. (The terms "material" and "non-public" are defined in Part I, Section 3(a) and (b) below.)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b)</u>.** No director, officer or employee who knows of any material non-public information about the Company may communicate that information to any other person, including family and friends.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c)</u>.** In addition, no director, officer or employee may purchase or sell any security of any other company, whether or not issued by the Company, while in possession of material non-public information about that company that was obtained in the course of his or her involvement with the Company. No director, officer or employee [or who knows of any such material non-public information may communicate that information to any other person, including family and friends.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(d)</u>.** For compliance purposes, you should never trade, tip or recommend securities (or otherwise cause the purchase or sale of securities) while in possession of information that you have reason to believe is material and non-public unless you first consult with, and obtain the advance approval of, the Compliance Officer (which is defined in Part I, Section 3(c) below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(e)</u>.** Covered Persons must "pre-clear" all trading in securities of the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in Part II, Section 3 below.

**<u>3. Definitions</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(a) Materiality</u>.** Insider trading restrictions come into play only if the information you possess is "material." Materiality, however, involves a relatively low threshold. Information is generally regarded as "material" if it has market significance, that is, if its public dissemination is likely to affect the market price of securities, or if it otherwise is information that a reasonable investor would want to know before making an investment decision.

Information dealing with the following subjects is reasonably likely to be found material in particular situations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) significant changes in the Company's prospects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) significant write-downs in assets or increases in reserves;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) developments regarding significant litigation or government agency investigations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) liquidity problems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) changes in earnings estimates or unusual gains or losses in major operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) major changes in management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) changes in dividends;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) extraordinary borrowings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) award or loss of a significant contract;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) changes in debt ratings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) proposals, plans or agreements, even if preliminary in nature, involving mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, recapitalizations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements, or purchases or sales of substantial assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii) public offerings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiii) pending statistical reports (such as, consumer price index, money supply and retail figures, or interest rate developments).

Material information is not limited to historical facts but may also include projections and forecasts. With respect to a future event, such as a merger, acquisition or introduction of a new product, the point at which negotiations or product development are determined to be material is determined by balancing the probability that the event will occur against the magnitude of the effect the event would have on a company's operations or stock price should it occur. Thus, information concerning an event that would have a large effect on stock price, such as a merger, may be material even if the possibility that the event will occur is relatively small. When in doubt about whether particular non-public information is material, presume it is material. **If you are unsure whether information is material, you should consult the Compliance Officer before making any decision to disclose such information (other than to persons who need to know it) or to trade in or recommend securities to which that information relates.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b) Non-public Information</u>.** Insider trading prohibitions come into play only when you possess information that is material and "non-public." The fact that information has been disclosed to a few members of the public does not make it public for insider trading purposes. To be "public" the information must have been disseminated in a manner designed to reach investors generally, and the investors must be given the opportunity to absorb the information. Even after public disclosure of information about the Company, you must wait until the close of business on the second trading day after the information was publicly disclosed before you can treat the information as public.

Non-public information may include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) information available to a select group of analysts or brokers or institutional investors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) undisclosed facts that are the subject of rumors, even if the rumors are widely circulated; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) information that has been entrusted to the Company on a confidential basis until a public announcement of the information has been made and enough time has elapsed for the market to respond to a public announcement of the information (normally two or three days).

**As with questions of materiality, if you are not sure whether information is considered public, you should either consult with the Compliance Officer or assume that the information is "non-public" and treat it as confidential.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c) Compliance Officer</u>.** The Company has appointed the Chief Financial Officer as the Compliance Officer for this Policy. The duties of the Compliance Officer include, but are not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) assisting with implementation of this Policy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) circulating this Policy to all employees and ensuring that this Policy is amended as necessary to remain up-to-date with insider trading laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) pre-clearing all trading in securities of the Company by Covered Persons in accordance with the procedures set forth in Part II, Section 3 below; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) providing approval of any transactions under Part II, Section 4 below.

**<u>4. Violations of Insider Trading Laws</u>**

Penalties for trading on or communicating material non-public information can be severe, both for individuals involved in such unlawful conduct and their employers and supervisors, and may include jail terms, criminal fines, civil penalties and civil enforcement injunctions. Given the severity of the potential penalties, compliance with this Policy is absolutely mandatory.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(a) Legal Penalties</u>.** A person who violates insider trading laws by engaging in transactions in a company's securities when he or she has material non-public information can be sentenced to a substantial jail term and required to pay a penalty of several times the amount of profits gained or losses avoided.

In addition, a person who tips others may also be liable for transactions by the tippees to whom he or she has disclosed material non-public information. Tippers can be subject to the same penalties and sanctions as the tippees, and the SEC has imposed large penalties even when the tipper did not profit from the transaction.

The SEC can also seek substantial penalties from any person who, at the time of an insider trading violation, "directly or indirectly controlled the person who committed such violation," which would apply to the Company and/or management and supervisory personnel. These control persons may be held liable for up to the greater of $1 million or three times the amount of the profits gained or losses avoided. Even for violations that result in a small or no profit, the SEC can seek a minimum of $1 million from a company and/or management and supervisory personnel as control persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b) Company-imposed Penalties</u>.** Employees who violate this Policy may be subject to disciplinary action by the Company, including dismissal for cause. Any exceptions to the Policy, if permitted, may only be granted by the Compliance Officer and must be provided before any activity contrary to the above requirements takes place.

**PART II**

**<u>1. Blackout Periods</u>**

All Covered Persons are prohibited from trading in the Company's securities during blackout periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(a) Quarterly Blackout Periods</u>.** Trading in the Company's securities is prohibited during the period beginning at the close of the market on the date that is at least two weeks prior to the day that is the end of each fiscal quarter, and ending at the close of business on second trading day following the date the Company's financial results are publicly disclosed and Form 10-Q or Form 10-K is filed. During these periods, Covered Persons generally possess or are presumed to possess material non-public information about the Company's financial results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b) Other Blackout Periods</u>.** From time to time, other types of material non-public information regarding the Company (such as negotiation of mergers, acquisitions or dispositions or new product developments) may be pending and not be publicly disclosed. While such material non-public information is pending, the Company may impose special blackout periods during which Covered Persons are prohibited from trading in the Company's securities. If the Company imposes a special blackout period, it will notify the Covered Persons affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c) Exception</u>.** These trading restrictions do not apply to transactions under a pre-existing written plan, contract, instruction, or arrangement under Rule 10b5-1 (an "**Approved 10b5-1 Plan**") that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) has been reviewed and approved at least one month in advance of any trades thereunder by the Compliance Officer (or, if revised or amended, such revisions or amendments have been reviewed and approved by the Compliance Officer at least one month in advance of any subsequent trades);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) was entered into in good faith by the Covered Person at a time when the Covered Person was not in possession of material non-public information about the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) gives a third party the discretionary authority to execute such purchases and sales, outside the control of the Covered Person, so long as such third party does not possess any material non-public information about the Company; or explicitly specifies the security or securities to be purchased or sold, the number of shares, the prices and/or dates of transactions, or other formula(s) describing such transactions.

**<u>2. Trading Window</u>**

Covered Persons are permitted to trade in the Company's securities when no blackout period is in effect. Generally this means that Covered Persons can trade during the period beginning on the day that is two trading days after the Company's financial results are publicly disclosed and Form 10-Q or Form 10-K is filed and ending on the date that is at least two weeks prior to the end of each fiscal quarter However, even during this trading window, a Covered Person who is in possession of any material non-public information should not trade in the Company's securities until the information has been made publicly available or is no longer material. In addition, the Company may close this trading window if a special blackout period under Part II, Section 1(b) above is imposed and will re-open the trading window once the special blackout period has ended.

**<u>3. Pre-clearance of Securities Transactions</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(a)</u>.** Because Covered Persons are likely to obtain material non-public information on a regular basis, the Company requires all such persons to refrain from trading, even during a trading window under Part II, Section 2 above, without first pre-clearing all transactions in the Company's securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b)</u>.** Subject to the exemption in subsection (d) below, no Covered Person may, directly or indirectly, purchase or sell (or otherwise make any transfer, gift, pledge or loan of) any Company security at any time without first obtaining prior approval from the Compliance Officer. These procedures also apply to transactions by such person's spouse, other persons living in such person's household and minor children and to transactions by entities over which such person exercises control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(c)</u>.** The Compliance Officer shall record the date each request is received and the date and time each request is approved or disapproved. Unless revoked, a grant of permission will normally remain valid until the close of trading two business days following the day on which it was granted. If the transaction does not occur during the two-day period, pre-clearance of the transaction must be re-requested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(d)</u>.** Pre-clearance is not required for purchases and sales of securities under an Approved 10b5-1 Plan. With respect to any purchase or sale under an Approved 10b5-1 Plan, the third party effecting transactions on behalf of the Covered Person should be instructed to send duplicate confirmations of all such transactions to the Compliance Officer.

**<u>4. Prohibited Transactions</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(a)</u>.** Directors and executive officers of the Company are prohibited from, trading in the Company's equity securities during a blackout period imposed under an "individual account" retirement or pension plan of the Company, during which at least 50% of the plan participants are unable to purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or transfer an interest in equity securities of the Company, due to a temporary suspension of trading by the Company or the plan fiduciary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>(b)</u>.** A Covered Person, including such person's spouse, other persons living in such person's household and minor children and entities over which such person exercises control, is prohibited from engaging in the following transactions in the Company's securities unless advance approval is obtained from the Compliance Officer:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(i) Short-term trading.</u> Covered Persons who purchase Company securities may not sell any Company securities of the same class for at least six months after the purchase;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(ii) Short sales.</u> Covered Persons may not sell the Company's securities short;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(iv) Trading on margin.</u> Covered Persons may not hold Company securities in a margin account or pledge Company securities as collateral for a loan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(v) Hedging.</u> Covered Persons may not enter into hedging or monetization transactions or similar arrangements with respect to Company securities.

**<u>5. Acknowledgment and Certification</u>**

All Covered Persons are required to sign the attached acknowledgment and certification.

The undersigned does hereby acknowledge receipt of the Company's Insider Trading Policy. The undersigned has read and understands (or has had explained) such Policy and agrees to be governed by such Policy at all times in connection with the purchase and sale of securities and the confidentiality of non-public information.
