China Dongsheng International, Inc. (CDSG) provided an update on exploration program for West End Lithium (WEL) project. CDSG will partner with Barrel Energy Inc. (Barrel) on its exploration and production endeavors with Barrel due to the highly innovative Lithium extraction methodologies Barrel is currently advancing for clay hosted deposits. The WEL claims are located in Nye county Nevada, just 6 miles northwest of Tonopah and sit directly within the surrounding outer boundary of the TLC Project being developed by American Lithium Corp.

The TLC Project currently hosts a large NI 43-101 compliant resources of 5.37 million tonnes (Mt) lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in the measured and indicated category with a further 1.76 Mt LCE in the inferred category. The present size of the TLC resource is expected to grow following the results of new 2022 drilling, some around the WEL claim area. company's co-exploration program will begin in 2023 (subject to federal and state permitting), and timed well to provide a new lithium resource to help meet the ever-growing demand.
