The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors (the "Board") for use at the Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") to be held on August 15, 2013 at 2:00pm (local time) at Suite 300, 7251 West Lake Mead Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89128, or at any continuation, postponement or adjournment thereof, for the purposes discussed in this proxy statement and in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting and any business properly brought before the Meeting. Proxies are solicited to give all stockholders of record an opportunity to vote on matters properly presented at the Meeting. We intend to mail this proxy statement and accompanying proxy card on or about August 2, 2013 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Meeting.
 
Unless the context requires otherwise, references to "we", "us" "our" and "FLPC" refer to First Liberty Power Corp.
 
Who Can Vote
 
You are entitled to vote if you were a holder of record of shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock") as of the close of business on July 3, 2013 (the "Record Date"). Your shares can be voted at the Meeting only if you are present in person or represented by a valid proxy.
 
Shares Outstanding and Quorum
 
Holders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting. At the Meeting, each of the shares of Common Stock represented will be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter properly brought before the Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 466,752,425 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
 
In order to carry on the business of the Meeting, we must have a quorum. Under our bylaws, a quorum is thirty-three and one third percent (33.3%) of the outstanding shares of our company entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy.
 
Proxy Card and Revocation of Proxy
 
In voting, please specify your choices by marking the appropriate spaces on the enclosed proxy card, signing and dating the proxy card and returning it in the accompanying envelope, or by other methods noted on the proxy form. If no directions are given and the signed proxy is returned, the proxy holders will vote the shares in favor of Proposals 1 and 2 and, at their discretion, on any other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. The Board knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting.
 
Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke the proxy at any time before the proxy is voted. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by the stockholder or by his attorney authorized in writing, or, if the stockholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, and deposited at the offices of our transfer agent, Interwest Transfer Co., Inc, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting. Attendance at the Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy.

Voting of Shares
 
Stockholders of record on the Record Date are entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters to be voted upon at the Meeting. You may vote in person or by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card. All shares entitled to vote and represented by properly executed proxies received before the polls are closed at the Meeting, and not revoked or superseded, will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated on those proxies. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT.
 
Counting of Votes
 
All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes and abstentions. Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions as to a particular proposal will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. An abstention is counted as a vote against that proposal. Shares represented by proxies that reflect a broker "non-vote" will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker "non-vote" will be treated as not-voted for purposes of determining approval of a proposal and will not be counted as "for" or "against" that proposal. A broker "non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary authority or does not have instructions from the beneficial owner.
 
Solicitation of Proxies
 
We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly and mailing of this proxy statement, the proxy and any additional information furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, depositories, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares of Common Stock in their names that are beneficially owned by others to forward to these beneficial owners. We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners for their costs of forwarding the solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, facsimile, electronic mail or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other regular employees. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or other regular employees for such services. To date, we have not incurred costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders, however, our estimate for total costs is $10,000.
 
Interest of Certain Persons in or Opposition to Matters to be Acted Upon
 
Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, since August 1, 2012, being the commencement of our last completed financial year, none of the following persons has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon:
 
 
1.
any director or officer of our corporation;
     
 
2.
any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons.
 
The shareholdings of our directors and officers are listed below in the section entitled "Principal Shareholders and Security Ownership of Management". To our knowledge, no director has advised that he intends to oppose the Amendments to our authorized capital, as more particularly described herein.
 
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPANY’S CURRENT ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.
 
The Board of Directors has unanimously approved, and is recommending to the shareholders of the Company for approval, the following amendments to the Current Articles (the “Proposed Amendments”):
 
(1) to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to increase the Company’s number of authorized shares of common stock from 540,000,000 to 1,080,000,000 (the “Common Stock Increase”);
 
(2) To Amend the Articles of Incorporation to authorize 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, which may be issued in one or more classes or series, with such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as will be fixed by our Board of Directors (the “Blank Check Preferred Stock Authorization together with Authorized Share Increases, the “Proposed Amendments”).

Our Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") currently authorize the issuance of 540,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and no shares of preferred stock. On July 2, 2013 our Board of Directors approved, subject to receiving the approval of a majority of the shareholders of our common stock, an amendment to our Articles to increase our authorized shares of common stock to 3,000,000,000 shares, and authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock in the capital of our corporation, for which the Board of Directors may fix and determine the designations, rights, preferences or other variations of each class or series within each class of the shares of preferred stock (the "Preferred Shares").  On July 18 2013, the Board of Directors unanimously agreed to reduce the increase of authorized shares of common stock to 1,080,000,000 shares, and to seek shareholder approval for that revised amount.
 
The general purpose and effect of the amendment to our corporation's Articles is to increase our authorized share capital and authorize the Preferred Shares, which will enhance our corporation's ability to finance the development and operation of our business.

The Board of Directors has approved, deemed advisable, and recommends that the shareholders of the Company approve, each of the Proposed Amendments. You must vote separately for each of the Proposed Amendments.
 
If any of Proposed Amendments are approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Company will file such Proposed Amendments with the Nevada Secretary of State promptly after receipt of such approval. The Proposed Amendments will become effective upon filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State.
 
We Urge Each Stockholder to Carefully Read the Proposed Amendments Before voting on the Proposed Amendments.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 1
 
APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
 
TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK
 
Purpose and Effects of Proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Current Articles
 
As of the Record Date, the Company was authorized, pursuant it its Articles of Incorporation, to issue up to 540,000,000 shares of its common stock, and there were 466,752,425 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding.  The Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to the Current Articles to increase the authorized share capital of the Company from 540,000,000 shares of common stock to 1,080,000,000 shares of common stock with the same par value of $0.001 per share.  The purpose of this proposed increase in authorized share capital is to make available additional shares of common stock for issuance for general corporate purposes, including financing activities and possible acquisitions, without the requirement of further action by the shareholders of the Company.  Increasing the authorized number of shares of the common stock of the Company will provide the Company with greater flexibility and allow the issuance of additional shares of common stock in most cases without the expense or delay of seeking further approval from the shareholders.  The Company is at all times investigating additional sources of financing which the Board of Directors believes will be in the Company's best interests and in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company.
 
The proposed new shares of common stock do not carry any pre-emptive rights. The adoption of the increase in authorized share capital will not of itself cause any changes in the Company's capital accounts.  The increase in authorized share capital will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing shareholders. However, the Board of Directors will have the authority to issue authorized shares of common stock without requiring future approval from the shareholders of such issuances, except as may be required by applicable law or exchange regulations. To the extent that additional authorized shares of common stock are issued in the future, they will decrease the existing shareholders' percentage equity ownership interests and could be issued at prices lower than the prices at which existing shareholders purchased their shares.  Any such issuance of additional shares of common stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.
 
One of the effects of the increase in authorized share capital, if adopted, may be to enable the Board of Directors to render it more difficult to or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of present management. The Board of Directors would, unless prohibited by applicable law, have additional shares of common stock available to effect transactions (including private placements) in which the number of the Company's outstanding shares would be increased and would thereby dilute the interest of any party attempting to gain control of the Company.  Such action, however, could discourage an acquisition of the Company which the shareholders of the Company might view as desirable.
 
The Company has no current plans, proposals or arrangements in place to issue any of the additional shares that will become authorized share capital of the Company pursuant to the Increase in Authorized Common Shares that have not been otherwise disclosed as existing financings in the Company’s quarterly financings.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR Proposed Amendment No. 1.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 2
 
ADOPTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO AUTHORIZE “BLANK CHECK” PREFERRED STOCK
 
Purpose and Effects of Proposed Amendment No. 2 to the Current Articles

The Current Articles of Incorporation do not contain authorized preference shares. As a result, should our Board of Directors desire to issue shares of preferred stock with specific preferences, it cannot do so. Blank check preferred stock means that the Board of Directors is given approval to issue any of the authorized shares from time to time, in such classes and amounts, and with such rights and preferences, as the board, in its sole discretion shall determine. In other words, if the shareholders votes for this proposal, they will have no further direct oversight and control over the issuances of any preferred stock in the future. In effect, you are waiving your current right to authorize any future issuances of preferred stock and, more importantly, you would be waiving your current right to vote on the designation of any rights, power and preferences attached to any class of preferred stock in the future.
 
The principal purpose to authorize shares of preferred stock is to provide us with additional financial flexibility to issue preferred stock for purposes which may be identified in the future, including, without limitation, to distribute to stockholders as a stock dividends, to raise equity capital, to make acquisitions through the use of preferred stock, and to effect other corporate transactions.
 
The availability of preferred stock is particularly important if the Board of Directors needs to undertake any of the foregoing actions on an expedited basis. The blank check preferred stock would enable the Board of Directors to avoid the time (and expense) of seeking stockholder approval in connection with any such contemplated action. If this Proposal is approved by our stockholders, the Board of Directors does not intend to solicit further stockholder approval prior to the issuance of any additional shares of preferred stock, except as may be required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or association upon which our securities may be listed, quoted or traded. As of the date hereof, we do not have any plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the newly available authorized preferred shares. Approval of the proposal does not mean that we will necessarily enter into such a transaction, but our Board believes that it may make us a more attractive candidate for a corporate transaction for financing. No assurance can be given that approval of this proposal will lead to a corporate transaction or significant financing.
 
The proposed preferred stock could have a variety of potentially negative effects on our stockholders depending upon the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of such authorized shares. The Board could authorize the issuance of a class or series of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as to greatly limit the likelihood of our common stockholders from receiving cash dividends or distributions upon our dissolution. In addition, shareholders could face dilution of their voting power if the preferred shares are issued with super-voting rights. Such preferred shares could also be given “poison pill” provisions that would dissuade potential suitors from acquiring us, thereby reducing an opportunity for our common shareholders to maximize the value of their shareholdings.
 
The Company has no current plans, proposals or arrangements to issue any of the blank check preferred shares that will become authorized share capital of the Company pursuant to the Proposed Amendment No. 2. There is no immediately dilutive impact from the creation in blank check preferred shares.
 
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR Proposed Amendment No. 2.

"HOUSEHOLDING" OF PROXY MATERIAL
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission permits companies and intermediaries (e.g. brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, commonly referred to as "householding", potentially means extra conveniences for stockholders and cost savings for companies.
 
A number of brokers with accountholders who are stockholders of our Company will be "householding" our proxy materials.. As indicated in the notice previously provided by these brokers to stockholders, a single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from an affected stockholder. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be "householding" communications to your address, "householding" will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If at any time, you no longer wish to participate in "householding" and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker.
 
Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request "householding" of their communications should contact their broker.
 
 
OTHER BUSINESS
 
 
The Board knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If other matters are properly brought before the Meeting; however, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote the shares represented thereby on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
 
If there are insufficient votes to approve any of the proposals contained herein, the Board may adjourn the Meeting to a later date and solicit additional proxies. If a vote is required to approve such adjournment, the proxies will be voted in favor of such adjournment.

RE:                         First Liberty Power Corporation (the “Company”)
Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
Filed July 8, 2013
File No. 0-52928

Dear Mr. Griswold,

Further to your letter of July 17, 2013 in regard to the above noted Company filing, we respond as follows:

General

Comment:

1.  
Your Form 10-K for fiscal 2012 indicates that Messrs. Hoak and Rud resigned as directors in March 2012, and November 1, 2011, respectively. However, we are unable to locate Form 8-K filings reflecting this information. We also note that you do not appear to have filed any proxy statements pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act. Please advise.

Response:

We would concur that the resignations of Mr. Hoak & Mr. Rud should have been disclosed under a form 8-K at the time.   We attempted to remedy this lack of disclosure by encompassing same within the Form 10-K for fiscal 2012, as a catch up disclosure.   It is our understanding (but not an assertion) that this approach, while not optimal, is adequate for historical disclosures.

With respect to the historical proxy statements for the company (AGM);  our CFO, as part of his corporate governance review this year, recently noted this deficiency.   Previously the Company was under the incorrect assumption that having filings current with Nevada state was sufficient.    It is the Company’s intent to hold an AGM to remedy this situation immediately following the 10-K to be filed for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2013.    We are hopeful this is a reasonable approach to take to resolve the issue with the focus on a current 10-K filing, and set the cycle for future years based on this timing.

Comment:

2.
You disclose that you have no current plans, proposals or arrangements in place to issue the shares of common stock and blank check preferred, but that certain transactions are being contemplated. However, in a recent press release dated July 10, 2013, you stated that “with the recently announced plan by the board of directors to seek approval to increase the company's authorized capital [and other factors] we are well positioned to obtain the necessary capital required, on more favorable terms, for the mill equipment payments and other operational startup capital requirements.” Given that it appears that you have plans to issue these securities, please briefly describe the transaction in which the securities are to be issued. Refer to Item 11(c) of Schedule 14A. Further, please tell us what consideration you gave to providing financial information pursuant to Item 11(e) and Item 13 of Schedule 14A. Refer to Instruction 1 to Item 13.

Response:

Through various edits, most notably in the detailed descriptions of each of the two amendments, we have further clarified that there are no transactions that are pending / contingent upon the increase in authorized capital and/or authorization of preferred shares.

Our intent in the press release was to disclose that upon an increase in authorized capital, we would be in a position to seek additional capital using equity if terms are reasonable, as part of the portfolio of options available to us, as opposed to only debt financing.     We believe the enhanced disclosure throughout the proxy statement should make it clearer that there are in fact no pending transactions.

Therefore, with no items pending under Item 11, we believe that Item 13 disclosure is not applicable in this instance.

Comment:

3.  
Please revise your discussion regarding the purpose and effect of each of the proposed amendments to include illustrative, quantitative examples of the dilutive effects of such issuances.

Response:

We have revised and expanded our disclosure in the detailed descriptions of each of the two amendments.  In particular, we clarify that the increase in the authorized capital and the authorization of preferred shares is per se non-dilutive.  However, we now provide much more detailed examples and scenarios of what possible dilutive outcomes could/would occur if such shares were to be issued.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management, page 8

Comment:

4.  
Please disclose the name(s) of the natural person(s) having sole or shared voting and/or dispositive power over the shares held by Group8 Mining Innovations.

Response:

We have revised our disclosure in the section under SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT to properly disclose the ownership structure of Group8 Mining Innovations.

Comment:

5.  
It appears that your tabular disclosure does not include all the information required by Item 403 of Regulation S-K. Specifically, we note that you have not identified your directors or your named executive officers. Refer to Item 403(b) of Regulation S-K. Please revise to provide the required information.

Response:

We have revised our disclosure in the section under SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT to fully and distinctly identify management / board common stock ownership.
 
Proxy Card, page 10

Comment:

6.  
We note that the form of proxy does not appear to include an option for shareholders to abstain from voting on the proposals. Please revise your proxy card to include boxes that allow shareholders the option to specify whether they abstain from voting on the proposals. Refer to Rule 14a-4(b)(1).

Response:

We have revised our disclosure to include the requested information, as per the updated form of proxy.

Furthermore, we acknowledge that:

-  
The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
-  
Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and,
-  
The Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.


 
We do remain available should anything further be required in this matter.

 
Sincerely,
 
 
 
/s/ Don Nicholson
