[{"type":"text","content":"\nINTERNATIONAL LITHIUM COMMENCES 2010 EXPLORATION PROGRAM AT SARCOBATUS FLATS, NEVADA\n\n\n Apr. 30, 2010 (TheNewswire.ca) -- Vancouver B.C.: TNR Gold Corp. (TSXV:TNR) (\"TNR\" or the \"Company\") and wholly-owned International Lithium Corp. (\"ILC\") are pleased to announce the Company has commenced the 2010 exploration program at the Sarcobatus Flats project, Nye County, Nevada as part of the Company's plan to systematically explore and evaluate all of its' Nevada projects.Key Highlights:-Commencement of gravity survey at Sarcobatus Flats project, Nevada;-Completion of gravity survey at Mud Lake project, Nevada;-Expansion of Nevada lithium brine project holdings to 5,285 hectares; and-Full commitment to a systematic geophysical exploration of the Company's entire Nevada holdings.Nevada Lithium Brine Project UpdateThe geophysical crew has successfully completed a detailed gravity survey on the Mud Lake project and has commenced an initial phase of geophysics on the Sarcobatus Flats project in Nye County, Nevada, as part of a systematic exploration approach across the Company's entire Nevada project areas. Processing of the Mud Lake geophysical data is underway and the results will be available shortly.The geophysical stage of exploration maps structural features in the subsurface that may form traps for brine. These features are then used to generate and prioritize drill targets.Nevada ProjectsThe Mud Lake Project is located 16 kilometres southeast of Tonopah in the Ralston Valley, Nevada covering 2,914 hectares in Nye County and is readily accessible year round. The Ralston basin, which contains Mud Lake, appears to have similar geological features that provided both a source and trap for lithium brines found in Clayton Valley which is located 47 kilometres west from the property. Chemetall-Foote Corp's Silver Peak operation, located in Clayton Valley, is the only lithium brine producer in North America and has been in operation since 1966.The Sarcobatus Flats Project is a desert playa (dry lake bed) located in Nye County, western Nevada along state route 95 approximately 109 kilometres south of Tonopah and 72 kilometres southeast of Clayton Valley and consists of 105 placer claims totaling 1,076 hectares. Highly anomalous concentrations of lithium, ranging between 210 and 340ppm Li, have been encountered from a preliminary s...
