(TSXV:TNR) (\"TNR\" or the \"Company\") and International Lithium Corp. (\"ILC\") are pleased to announce that Cricket Resources Inc. (TSXV:CKC) (\"CKC\"), the operator of the Forgan Lake JV has commenced the initial phase of the 2010 exploration program on the Forgan Lake rare metals property (the \"Property\") in northwestern Ontario.Key Highlights:-2010 exploration program commences on the Forgan Lake property;-Objective is to delineate rare metals targets for future drill program;-Emphasis on underexplored area of the property known to host pegmatites; and-Channel sample grading 4.23% Li2O over 7.5 metres at No.1 pegmatite.The initial six week phase of the 2010 exploration program will consist of prospecting, mapping, litho and soil geochemical sampling and select re-assaying of core previously drilled by Lun-Echo Gold Mines Limited (\"Lun-Echo\") to determine, not just the lithium potential of the property which was the focus of past exploration programs, but the full-suite rare-metal potential. While the current exploration program is designed to encompass the entire property, additional emphasis will be placed on an underexplored area in the northwestern section of the property where two pegmatites were previously observed but never the subject of any discernable work.The main objective of this exploration program is to identify and delineate rare-metal targets for a follow up drill program.Forgan Lake PropertyThe Forgan Lake Property, which is comprised of one 256 hectare claim block (16 units), is located 125 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The Property, host to six known rare-metal pegmatites, is part of the Georgia Lake Pegmatite Field (\"GPF\"), an area of considerable lithium and other rare-metals exploration since its discovery in the mid-1950s. Of the six previously identified pegmatites, four known as the No. 1, No. 2, No.3 and No. 4 pegmatite, were explored on surface and subsequently drilled in 1955 by Lun-Echo. Channel sample results reported by Lun-Echo include: 2.57% Li2O over 6.4 metres, 4.23% Li2O over 7.5 metres and 1.98% Li2O over 7.6 metres from the No. 1 Pegmatite. Channel samples collected during the Company's 2009 exploration work on the property c...
