CALGARY , Nov. 6 /CNW/ - The Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) has issued an Interim Cease Trade Order against British Columbia-based Liberty International Mineral Corporation and its President and CEO Leonard Allen Lindstrom based on ASC staff allegations that Lindstrom and Liberty International Mineral engaged in illegal distributions of Liberty International Mineral securities to Alberta residents.

The Interim Cease Trade Order is in effect for 15 days and prohibits all trading in or purchasing of Liberty International Mineral securities and any trading in securities or use of Alberta securities laws exemptions by Liberty International Mineral or Lindstrom. The ASC has also issued a Notice of Hearing in which ASC staff allege that:

    
      -  Liberty International Mineral and Lindstrom are not registered with
         the ASC to trade shares in Alberta;
      -  Liberty International Mineral has not filed a prospectus with the
         ASC to trade shares in Alberta; and
      -  Liberty International Mineral and Lindstrom traded Liberty
         International Mineral shares to Alberta investors who did not
         qualify for the registration and prospectus exemptions being relied
         upon by the respondents.
    

The next appearance is scheduled for 9 a.m. on November 16, 2009 , at the Alberta Securities Commission, 6th Floor, 300 - 5th Avenue SW, Calgary , Alberta. At that time, an ASC panel will consider extending the Interim Order.
