TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec 8, 2014) - Liberty Silver Corp. ("Liberty" or the "Company") today announced that it has reached a settlement in principle regarding the consolidated securities class action filed in September 2013 in U.S. federal court in the Southern District of Florida pertaining to anomalous trading activity and fluctuations in the Company's share price from August through October 2012. The settlement, which is subject to final documentation as well as review by the court, provides for a payment of $1 million cash, to be paid by the Company's D&O insurance coverage. This settlement, without in any way acknowledging any fault or liability, would lead to a full and final dismissal with prejudice of all claims against Liberty Silver, Geoffrey Browne, and William Tafuri in the litigation. Although defendants continue to deny plaintiffs' allegations, the Company believes it is in the best interests of its stockholders to focus its attention on its business and put the matter behind it. The settlement is subject to approval by the Court.
