Organization [Abstract]
Organization	NOTE 1 – Organization Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the “Company”, “we” or “Liberty Star”) was formerly Liberty Star Gold Corp. and formerly Titanium Intelligence, Inc. (“Titanium”). Titanium was incorporated on August 20, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 5, 2004 we commenced operations in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business. Big Chunk Corp. (“Big Chunk”) is our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on December 14, 2003 in the State of Alaska. Big Chunk is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business in the State of Alaska. 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. In April 2007, we changed our name to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. We have not generated any revenues from operations. These consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and cash flows of Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Big Chunk and HMSP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) with the on-going assumption that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. However, certain conditions noted below currently exist which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These 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.

Summary of significant accounting policies [Abstract]
Summary of significant accounting policies	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 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The valuation of stock-based compensation, 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 subsidiaries, Big Chunk and HMSP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Cash and cash equivalents We consider cash held at banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts which, for periods of time, may exceed federally insured limits. At January 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 is stated at cost. We capitalize all purchased equipment over $500 with a useful life of more than one year. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while betterments or renewals are capitalized. Property and equipment is reviewed periodically for impairment. The estimated useful lives range from 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’s terms, no gain or loss is recognized. We account for inducements to convert as an expense in the period incurred, included in debt conversion expense. 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 market value. Stock based compensation The Company recognizes stock-based compensation for all share-based payment awards made to employees based on the estimated fair values, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Non-employee stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services on the grant date, whichever is more readily determinable. 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 section 410-30. 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, 2016 or 2015. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities The Company measures and discloses certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Authoritative guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 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. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for the tax year ended January 31, 2012 and prior. Net income (loss) per share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic income or loss per share) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock that are not anti-dilutive. For the year ended January 31, 2016, potentially dilutive instruments were not included in the determination of diluted loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive. For the year ended January 31, 2015, potentially dilutive shares included in the calculation of diluted net income per share included 1,345,666 shares related to warrants and 119,442,929 shares related to convertible promissory notes. Statement Presentation Certain amounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current-year financial statements.

Going Concern [Abstract]
Going concern	NOTE 3 – Going concern The Company has incurred losses from operations 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.

Mineral Claims [Abstract]
Mineral claims	NOTE 4 – Mineral claims At January 31, 2016 we held a 100% interest in 11 standard federal lode mining claims on the Colorado Plateau Province of Northern Arizona (the “North Pipes Claims”). At January 31, 2016 we held a 100% interest in 95 standard federal lode mining claims located in the Tombstone region of Arizona. 29 federal lode mining claims are owned by JABA US Inc, an Arizona Corporation in which two of our directors are owners and 66 federal lode mining claims belong to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. At January 31, 2016 we held Arizona State Land Department Mineral Exploration Permits covering 1,886.88 acres in the Tombstone region of Arizona. At January 31, 2016 we held an option to explore 26 standard federal lode mining claims located in the East Silver Bell region of northwest Tucson, Arizona. The mineral claims are owned by JABA US Inc., an Arizona Corporation in which two of our directors are owners. At January 31, 2016 we held a 100% interest to retain 9 Alaska State mining claims in the Iliamna region of Southwestern Alaska, located on the north side of the Cook Inlet, approximately 200 miles southwest of the city of Anchorage, Alaska (the “Big Chunk Claims”). The transaction for 199 claims transferred to Northern Dynasty in conjunction with our loan settlement agreement has now closed, and is no longer pending. 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, 2016.

Derivative Liabilities [Abstract]
Derivative Liabilities	NOTE 8 – Derivative Liabilities The embedded conversion feature in the convertible debt instruments that the Company issued (See Note 7), that became convertible during the years ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, qualified it as a derivative instrument since the number of shares issuable under the note is indeterminate based on guidance in FASB 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 notes and warrants upon issuance or tainting and also as of January 31, 2016: ● The stock projections are based on the historical volatilities for each date. These ranged in the 146.9-155.8% range. The stock price projection was modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and a constant volatility, starting with the market stock price at each valuation date; ● An event of default would not occur during the remaining term of the note; ● Conversion of the notes to stock would be completed monthly after any holding period and would be limited based on: 5% of the last 6 months average trading volume and the ownership limit identified in the contract assuming the underlying number of common shares increases at 1% per month. ● The effective discount was determined based on the historical trading history of the Company based on the specific pricing mechanism in each note; ● The Company would not have funds available to redeem the notes during the remaining term of the convertible notes; ● Discount rates were based on risk free rates in effect based on the remaining term and date of each valuation and instrument. ● The Holder would exercise the warrant at maturity if the stock price was above the exercise price; ● The Holder would exercise the warrant after any holding period prior to maturity at target prices starting at 2 times the exercise price for the Warrants or higher subject to monthly limits of: 5% of the last 6 months average trading volume increasing by 1% per month and the ownership limit identified in the contract assuming the underlying number of common shares increases at 1% per month. ● For the warrants with reset features, the Company assumed it would issue equity linked instruments in the quarters ended 1/31/16 through 4/30/16 at 70% of market. Using the results from the model, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $52,050 for newly granted warrants (see note 11) and a derivative liability of $688,562 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 debt discount of $549,531 which is being amortized over the remaining term of the note using the effective interest rate method, and is classified as convertible debt on the balance sheet. Interest expense related to the amortization of this debt discount for the year ended January 31, 2016, was $59,239. Additionally, $547,031 of debt discount was charged to interest expense as a result of the conversion of a portion of the underlying debt instrument (See Note 7). The remaining unamortized debt discount related to the derivative liability was $0 as of January 31, 2016. The Company recorded the change in the fair value of the derivative liability as a loss of $102,444 to reflect the value of the derivative liability for warrants and convertible notes as $3,293 as of January 31, 2016. The Company also recorded a reclassification from derivative liability to equity of $833,583 for the conversions of a portion of the Company’s convertible notes. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of the Company’s derivative liability: Year Ended January 31, 2016 2015 Beginning balance $ 216,705 $ 46,985 Total (gains) losses (102,444 ) (482,697 ) Settlements (865,387 ) (256,748 ) Additions 549,531 909,165 Ending balance $ 3,293 $ 216,705 Change in unrealized (gains) losses included in earnings relating to derivatives still held as of January 31, 2016 and 2015 $ 211 $ (482,697 )

Options remaining available for grant under the 2010 Stock Option Plan at January 31, 2016 and 2015 are 13,000,000 and 12,500,000, respectively. Options remaining available for grant under the 2007 Stock Option Plan at January 31, 2016 and 2015 are 50,000 and 50,000, respectively. Options remaining available for grant under the 2004 Stock Option Plan at January 31, 2016 and 2015 are 127,626 and 127,626, respectively. In September 2013, there were 7,423,624 stock options granted at an exercise price of $0.0257 per share, exercisable until September 5, 2023 with a fair value net of forfeitures at grant date of $210,300. The options granted were 100% vested for directors and shall vest in 25% immediately and 25% over four years increments on a yearly basis over the next four years for employees. In order to calculate the fair value of stock options at the date of grant, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The volatility used was based on our historical volatility. The expected term was determined based on the simplified method outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Remaining stock option expense to be recognized in future periods related to the award is $18,224 as of January 31, 2016. The following tables summarize the Company’s stock option activity during the years ended January 31, 2016 and 2015. Incentive stock options to employees and directors outstanding at January 31, 2016 are as follows: Number of options Weighted average exercise price Weighted average remaining life (years) Aggregate intrinsic value Outstanding, January 31, 2014 85,476,124 $ 0.047 $ - Granted - - Cancelled (54,750 ) 6.710 Exercised - - Outstanding, January 31, 2015 85,421,374 $ 0.042 $ - Granted - - Cancelled - - Exercised - - Outstanding, January 31, 2016 85,421,374 $ 0.042 4.81 $ - Exercisable, January 31, 2016 84,951,211 $ 0.042 4.79 $ - In December 2015, the board of directors approved a five-year extension of 77,500,000 options expiring on August 16, 2015 to an extended expiration date of August 16, 2020. This modification resulted in a charge of $29,067 to share based compensation for the year ended January 31, 2016, representing the fair value of option extension. The options are held by four directors. The options cancelled during the year ended January 31, 2015 were a result of the options expiring. The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated based on the stock price of $0.0019 and $0.0086 per share as of January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We estimate the fair value of option awards on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company uses historical volatility, disregarding identifiable periods of time in which share price was extraordinarily volatile due to certain events that are not expected to recur during the expected term, as its method to estimate expected volatility. The Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of stock option grants to employees and non-employees: Expected Risk-free Expected dividend Expected interest Forfeiture Grant date volatility yield term rate rate January 10, 2012 128 % 0 % 10 years 2 % 10 % December 13, 2012 174 % 0 % 3 years 0.34 % 0 % January 1, 2013 173 % 0 % 3 years 0.36 % 0 % January 1, 2013 171 % 0 % 3 years 0.41 % 0 % September 5, 2013 221 % 0 % 6.25 years 2.15 % 20 % Share-based compensation expense is reported in our statement of operations as follows: January 31, 2016 January 31, 2015 Geological and geophysical costs $ 4,728 $ 4,728 Salaries and benefits 33,795 4,728 Investor relations 1,776 1,776 General and administrative - - $ 40,299 $ 11,232 At January 31, 2016 there is $18,224 of unrecognized share-based compensation for all share-based awards outstanding with a weighted average remaining period for amortization of 1.8 years. Non-qualified stock options to non-employee consultants and vendors outstanding as of January 31, 2016 are as follows: Number of options Weighted average exercise price Weighted Aggregate intrinsic value Outstanding, January 31, 2014 903,500 $ 0.376 $ - Granted - - Expired (40,000 ) 1.678 Outstanding, January 31, 2015 863,500 $ 0.316 $ - Granted - - Expired (500,000 ) 0.038 Outstanding, January 31, 2016 363,500 $ 0.697 2.23 $ - Exercisable, January 31, 2016 363,500 $ 0.697 2.23 $ - The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated based on the stock price of $.0019 and $0.0086 per share for the years ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At January 31, 2016 there were 363,500 non-qualified stock options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.697 per option; of those options 363,500 are exercisable. At January 31, 2016 there were 85,421,374 incentive stock options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.042 per option; of those options 84,951,211 are exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $0.042. During the years ended January 31, 2016 and 2015 we recognized $40,299 and $11,232 of compensation expense related to incentive and non-qualified stock options previously granted to officers, employees and consultants.

Income taxes	NOTE 12 – Income taxes As of January 31 our deferred tax asset is as follows: January 31, 2016 January 31, 2015 Deferred Tax Assets $ 9,391,000 $ 8,853,000 Less Valuation Allowance (9,391,000 ) (8,853,000 ) $ - $ - 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 in the valuation allowance of $538,000 during the year ended January 31, 2016 primarily represents the increase in net operating loss carry-forwards during the period offset against the valuation allowance. The decrease in the valuation allowance of $1,390,000 during the year ended January 31, 2015 primarily represents the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards during the period to offset taxable income for the year. As of January 31, 2016, our estimated net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $27,000,000 and expires beginning in 2026 through 2036. 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.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	NOTE 14 – Commitments and Contingencies We are required to perform annual assessment work in order to maintain the Big Chunk Alaska State mining claims. If annual assessment work is not performed the Company must pay the assessment amount in cash in order to maintain the claims. Completion of annual assessment work in the amount of $400 per ¼ section (160 acre) claim or $100 per ¼ -¼ section (40 acre) claim extends the claims for a one-year period from the staking of claims. Assessment work performed in excess of the required amount may be carried forward for up to four years to satisfy future obligations. The Company estimates that the required annual assessments per year to maintain the claims from 2015 forward will be $3,600 each year Sufficient assessment work has been performed for Big Chunk to maintain the claims beyond the next labor year if retained. The annual state rentals for the Big Chunk Alaska State mining claims vary from $70 to $280 per mineral claim. The rental period begins at noon September 1st through the following September 1st and annual rental payments are due on November 30th of each year. The rentals of $6,120, to extend the Big Chunk claims through September 1, 2015 were not paid in November 2014. The estimated state rentals due by November 30, 2016 for the period from September 1, 2015 through September 1, 2016 are $6,120 plus an equal amount in penalty if reclaimed. Alaska State production royalty is three percent of net income. State law prescribes that after a 3.5 -year exemption from state taxes a metal mine is liable for a 15% state licensing tax on net income from the mine. We are required to pay annual rentals for our federal lode mining claims for the North Pipes 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. The annual rentals are $155 per claim. The rentals of $1,705 for the period from September 1, 2015 to September 1, 2016 have been paid. The rentals due by September 1, 2016 for the period from September 1, 2016 through September 1, 2017 of $1,705 have not been paid. We are required to pay annual rentals for our federal lode mining claims for our East Silver Bell 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. The annual rental is $155 per claim. The rentals of $4,030 for the period from September 1, 2015 to September 1, 2016 have been paid. The annual rentals due by September 1, 2016 of $4,030 are required to maintain the East Silver Bell claims are for the period from September 1, 2016 through September 1, 2017 have not been paid. There is no requirement for annual assessment or exploration work on the federal lode mining claims. There are no royalties associated with the federal lode mining claims. We are required to pay annual rentals for our federal lode mining claims for the Tombstone 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. The annual rentals are $155 per claim. The rentals due by September 1, 2016 for the period from September 1, 2016 through September 1, 2017 of $14,725 have not been paid. We are required to pay annual rentals for our Arizona State Land Department Mineral Exploration Permits (“AZ MEP”) at our Tombstone Hay Mountain project in the State of Arizona. AZ MEP permits 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 the equal amount in fees to the Arizona State Land Department to keep the AZ MEP permits current. The rental period begins on September 30th through the following September 29th for our Phase 1 permits, and September 14th through September 13th for our Phase 2 permits. Rental payments are due by the first day of the rental period. We hold AZ MEP permits for 2,366.88 acres at our Tombstone project. We will need to pay rental fees for our Phase 1 AZ MEP’s before September 29, 2016 in the amount of $3,346.88. Required minimum work expenditures for the period ending September 29, 2016 is $36,937.60. The annual rental due by September 13, 2016 to maintain the Phase 2 AZ MEP permit is $540. A civil action was pending in the Alaska Superior Court in Anchorage, Alaska, that concerned title to some Alaska state mining claims owned by Big Chunk Corp., a subsidiary of Liberty Star. In that action Big Chunk and Liberty Star requested a judicial determination that certain lien claim notices recorded by a party named MBGS, LLC, against the mining claims were void; and MBGS sought an order enforcing the lien claims. Liberty Star and Big Chunk filed a motion for summary judgment to invalidate the lien claims. As was anticipated, MBGS opposed this motion. The lien claims were based on a debt alleged by MBGS to be due from Liberty Star. The existence of this alleged debt was disputed. In March 2014 Liberty Star and Big Chunk entered into a settlement agreement with MBGS, LLC, following a resolution conference conducted in Anchorage, Alaska whereby all lien claims for the Northern Dynasty transfer were released. As a result of those claims released by MBGS, LLC, in May 2014 the company completed its loan settlement agreement with Northern Dynasty and discharged the principal balance and accrued interest for the 2010 Convertible Note which also terminated Northern Dynasty’s earn-in-rights. On June 1, 2011 we rented a warehouse located at Building No. 1, 7900 South Kolb Road, Tucson, Arizona 85706. We rent this warehouse space for $3,673 per month. The lease was in effect until May 31, 2014 with an option to extend for two additional years. The lease was not renewed and is currently on a month to month basis. In addition to using the warehouse for standard purposes, such as storage of our exploration equipment, supplies and samples, the warehouse space also includes office facilities for the use of field geologists and geotechs.

Summary of Significant Accoun23

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Summary of significant accounting policies [Abstract]
Use of estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The valuation of stock-based compensation, 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	Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Big Chunk and HMSP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents We consider cash held at banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts which, for periods of time, may exceed federally insured limits. At January 31, 2016 and 2015, we had no cash balances in bank deposit accounts that exceeded federally insured limits.
Mineral claim costs	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	Long-lived assets and impairment of long-lived assets Property and equipment is stated at cost. We capitalize all purchased equipment over $500 with a useful life of more than one year. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while betterments or renewals are capitalized. Property and equipment is reviewed periodically for impairment. The estimated useful lives range from 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	Convertible promissory notes We report convertible promissory notes as liabilities at their carrying value less unamortized discounts, which approximates fair value. We bifurcate conversion options and detachable common stock purchase warrants and report them as liabilities at fair value at each reporting period when required in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. When convertible promissory notes are converted into shares of our common stock in accordance with the debt’s terms, no gain or loss is recognized. We account for inducements to convert as an expense in the period incurred, included in debt conversion expense.
Derivative liabilities	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	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.
Stock based compensation	Stock based compensation The Company recognizes stock-based compensation for all share-based payment awards made to employees based on the estimated fair values, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Non-employee stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services on the grant date, whichever is more readily determinable. 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	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 section 410-30. 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, 2016 or 2015.
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities	Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities The Company measures and discloses certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Authoritative guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Income taxes	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. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for the tax year ended January 31, 2012 and prior.
Net income (loss) per share	Net income (loss) per share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic income or loss per share) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock that are not anti-dilutive. For the year ended January 31, 2016, potentially dilutive instruments were not included in the determination of diluted loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive. For the year ended January 31, 2015, potentially dilutive shares included in the calculation of diluted net income per share included 1,345,666 shares related to warrants and 119,442,929 shares related to convertible promissory notes.
