China Dongsheng International Inc (CDSG) revealed that its subsidiary Titan Lithium Inc (OTC:CDSG) reported strong lithium geochemical sampling results from an additional surface sampling program at the company’s Titan 1 lithium property in Tanzania.
The Las Vegas-based company said that as part of its continued 2023 exploration program at the Titan 1 lithium project, several additional soil geochemical sample lines were completed in various targeted areas to both follow up previous results and to attempt to define the outer boundaries of our huge lithium discovery.
With this aim, Titan’s technical team returned to the south portion of Titan 1 to prospect and conduct new lines of soil sampling. The company said the South Block area contains a lithium anomaly which is both “massive and high-grade,” having an average grade of 4,318 parts per million (ppm) lithium (Li) or 0.93% lithium oxide (Li2O), which covers a total of 10,900 acres (44 square kms).
The new work targeted an area on the eastern side of the South Block where an isolated reconnaissance sample, MW67, located roughly 3.3 miles (5.3 kms) out from the main survey returned strong lithium at 9,000 ppm Li. Samples were collected through several in-fill lines between the MW67 and the South Block.
Results indicate generally very high grades of lithium in this new region, and with sample MW67, the positive lithium values averaging 6,314 ppm Li (1.36% Li2O). The highest value returned a strong 3.54% Li2O (16,400 ppm Li).
In a statement, Titan Lithium CEO Craig Alford said: “We were very excited to finally link up the MW67 sample to the main tested area. Our field work continues to reveal very high-grade lithium values and this new survey will add substantially to the acreage of the South Block.”
“Titan 1 is proving to be the most exciting lithium target in the world,” he added.
The lithium explorer and developer said “rigorous” quality control of the samples was maintained and all the samples were prepared and analyzed at the independent African Minerals and Geosciences Centre (AMGC) in Dar es Salaam. Soil samples are all consistently removed from the B soil horizon, from a depth of six to 10 inches, said the company.
