CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Registration Statement contains certain forward-looking
statements. When used in this Registration Statement, statements which are not historical in nature, including words such as “believe,”
“expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “project,” “intend”,
“plan”, “estimate”, “anticipate” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
They also include statements containing a projection of revenues, earnings or losses, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure
or other financial terms. All statements we make relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows,
growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make
forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments.
The forward-looking statements in this Registration
Statement are based upon our management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future operations and economic performance,
taking into account the information currently available to them.
These statements are not statements of historical
fact, and are subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to us, which may change over time and which may
cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to differ materially from the expectations of future results, performance
or financial condition we express or imply in any forward-looking statements. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our
current plans, expectations and forecasts, which are based upon certain assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties
that could significantly affect our future financial condition and results. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution
that it is difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our
actual results. There may be other factors not presently known to us or which we currently consider to be immaterial that may cause our
actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements and projections attributable
to us or persons acting on our behalf apply only as of the date of this Registration Statement and are expressly qualified in their entirety
by the cautionary statements included in this Registration Statement. We undertake No obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking

statements when evaluating information presented herein.
Corporate History
China
Dongsheng International, Inc. (“the Company” or “CDSG”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware
in October 1991 under the name of PaperClip Software, Inc. (“Paperclip”). Paperclip was engaged in the development and distribution
of computer software for document management and transport of electronic document packages with interoperability, security, and tracking
capabilities.
On November 9, 2006, the
Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of American Sunrise international, Inc. (“ASI”), a Delaware
corporation. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of ASI was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, ASI was treated as the surviving entity for accounting purposes. The acquisition of ASI resulted in a change of control for
the Company. Post-acquisition of ASI, the Company was engaged in the manufacturing and distributing of nutritional supplements, beauty
care products and other alternative health care products through its wholly owned subsidiary, Jilin Dongsheng Weiye Science & Technology
Development Co., Ltd.
On January 20, 2021, the District Court of Clark County,
Nevada entered an Order Granting Application for Appointment (the “Order”) of SSM Monopoly Corporation as Custodian of the
Company. On December 7, 2021, the Custodian filed a Motion to Discharge Custodianship and Enter Final Order (the “Motion”).
In the Motion, the Custodian petitioned the court to (i) approve the acts taken by the Custodian, including the appointment of management,
cancellation of 9,011,469 shares and the conducting of a shareholder meeting, (ii) discharge SSM Monopoly as Custodian of the Company
and (iii) return control to the Board of Directors. On January 6, 2022, the District Court of Clark County, Nevada issued the Order of
Final Discharge.
On March 10, 2022, CDSG entered into a development
agreement with Stallion Energy Group, Inc. (“Stallion”) of Houston Texas, for a working interest to develop oil production
in Frio County, southwest Texas (“Stallion Project”). The drill-ready leasehold is located within an area of two oilfields
in the San Antonio Oil and Gas district, with an estimated 100 million barrels and 400 billion cubic feet of gas produced. The multimillion-barrel
potential of the project was identified through critical evaluation, mapping, and analysis of a large petrophysical database of well logs,
mud logs and production analogues completed by a Texas-based team of petroleum engineers and geologists. The Company made an initial investment
of $50,000 into the Stallion Project on March 18, 2022. There have been no further developments in the Stallion Project since the Company
made its initial investment.
On March 17, 2022, CDSG entered into an agreement
with American Lithium Minerals Inc., a Nevada corporation (“AMLM”), whereby CDSG acquired a 10% interest in 24 unpatented
lode mining claims comprised of approximately 460 acres near Tonopah, Nevada, commonly known as the West End Lithium Project in exchange
for $75,000. The Company has the right to increase its ownership to 50% by contributing a total payment of $1,000,000 for exploration
and development costs over a three-year period.
On February 24, 2023, the
Company entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kilimanjaro Lithium, LTD (“KLL”) and
Lawrence Stephenson, the founder of KLL. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company acquired an 80% ownership interest in KLL
and two prospecting licenses (“PLs”) authorizing exploration activities on Titan 1 and Titan 2 located in Tanzania (collectively
hereinafter the “Titan Projects”) in exchange for 133,000,000 shares of Common stock and $350,000 cash. The Company may acquire
an additional 20% interest in KLL at a rate of CDN$1,000,000 for each additional 5% interest. Any future production from KLL’s projects
are subject to a 3% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) payable to Lawrence Stephenson.
In August 2023, certain Company
shareholders who control a majority shareholder vote, voted in favor of changing the Company name and ticker symbol to Titan Lithium,
Inc. (OTC Pink: TTAN). The Company will be filing a FINRA corporate action request to change the name and symbol with FINRA concurrently
with the filing of this Form 10. The Company will file amended articles of incorporation with the State of Delaware to reflect the name
change once FINRA is prepared to process the corporate action request.
Our Current Business
Titan Projects (Tanzania)
On February 24, 2023, the Company entered into an
Asset Acquisition with Kilimanjaro Lithium, LTD and Lawrence Stephenson (LS) the Founder of KLL. The Company entered into an Agreement
in which it acquired the exclusive right to earn 100% of the legal right to obtain, prospect and exploit the Prospecting Licenses that
contain the Titan Lithium Projects from KLL. As part of the sampling program designed to define the outer boundaries of our previously
reported Titan 1 lithium anomaly, the Company’s technical team returned to the area to both extend old lines and sample additional
lines such that the total surveyed area now covers a length of 11 miles (18km) north-south and 6.2 miles (10km) at its widest east-west
(18 x 10 km). The initial transaction provided the Company an 80% ownership in the Properties in exchange for (a) One Hundred and Thirty-Three
Million (133,000,000) shares of China Dongsheng International common stock issued to KLL. In addition, the Company will make a series
of cash payments totaling Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) to Lawrence Stephenson of KLL as well as reimbursement payments
of exploration expenses totaling Sixty-Five Thousand Dollars ($65,000) to Lawrence Stephenson for geological and geochemical work and
the registration costs of the Prospecting Licenses (PLs) covering the Titan Projects. After receipt of shares, the title and ownership
of and all the legal rights to the Prospecting Licenses (“PLs”) that contain the Titan Lithium Projects (the “Properties”)
were transferred to KLL.
The Titan 1 (“T1”) project is centered
over a vast flat-lying playa covered by a thin layer of alluvium overlying volcano-sedimentary basin fill and is depositionally very similar
to the playas overlying mudstone-hosted lithium deposits found in the Southwest U.S. (i.e., the TLC project of American Lithium Corp.
and the Thacker Pass of Lithium Americas Corp.). A previously recognized eastwest fault crossing the center of the T1 playa, which holds
low to no Lithium, has been used to simplify and divide the work at Titan 1 into a large North and South Block. Geochemical coverage of
the South Block encountered positive Lithium values in 85% of samples collected with the best two lines, occurring the in northeast and
southwest of the Block, averaging a continuous 2.5 miles (4kms) of 1.88% LiO2 (8,700 ppm Li) and 4.3 miles (7kms) of 1.08% Li2O (5,000
ppm Li) respectively. The South Block anomaly, which has absorbed the earlier reported T1 ‘mid zone’ currently measures 10,900
acres (44 square kms) in size. The average grade of all lithium values in the South Block anomaly is 4,318 ppm Li or 0.93% Li2O Rigorous
Quality control of the samples was maintained for collection and transportation to the laboratory. All samples were prepared and analyzed
at the independent and ISO 9001 certified African Minerals and Geosciences Centre (AMGC) in Dar es Salaam.
Lithium Claystone Project (Nevada)
On March 17, 2022, CDSG entered into an Agreement
with American Lithium Minerals Inc., a Nevada based publicly held corporation, whereby CDSG will have the right to earn up to a Sixty
Percent (60%) interest in the West End Lithium Project near Tonopah Nevada. The initial investment of $ 25,000 was made on April 1, 2022,
and subsequent investments of $ 50,000 were completed in March 2023. CDSG has the right to acquire an additional 50% of the project by
committing to expend an additional $ 1,000,000 in exploration and development expenses over the following 3 years. The West End Lithium
Project is located directly adjacent to the growing resource of the Tonopah Lithium Claims (“TLC”) Project of American Lithium
Corp. The TLC Project is sedimentary hosted lithium claystone deposit and possesses a NI 43- 101 compliant initial resource of 5.37 million
tons Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (“LCE”) in the Measured and Indicated category and 1.76 tons LCE in the Inferred category.
The West End and TLC Projects are located just six miles northwest of the town of Tonopah, Nevada and just 200 miles by road from Tesla’s
Nevada Gigafactory. relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial
results are forward-looking.
Competition
The mining industry is intensely competitive. We compete
with numerous individuals and companies, including many major mining companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial,
and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for access to funds. There are other competitors
that have operations in the area and the presence of these competitors could adversely affect our ability to compete for financing and
obtain the service providers, staff, or equipment necessary for the exploration and exploitation of our properties.
Many of the mineral exploration companies with which
we compete for financing and for the acquisition of mineral exploration properties have greater financial and technical resources than
those available to us. Many of our competitors have been in business longer than us, have established more strategic partnerships and
relationships than us, and have greater access to financial resources than we do. Accordingly, our competitors may be able to spend greater
amounts of time and/or money on acquiring mineral exploration interests of merit or on exploring or developing their mineral exploration
properties. This advantage could enable our competitors to acquire mineral exploration properties of greater quality and interest to prospective
investors who may choose to finance their additional exploration and development. Because we compete with companies that have greater
financial resources and larger technical staffs, we may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring desirable mineral properties, and
certain properties that would otherwise be attractive to us for exploration or acquisition may be unavailable due to our relative lack
of financial and technical resources. Such competition could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to
acquire further mineral exploration interests or explore and develop our current or future mineral exploration properties.
General competitive conditions may be substantially
affected by various forms of legislation and/or regulation introduced from time to time by the governments of the United States and other
countries, as well as factors beyond our control, such as international political conditions, fluctuations in market prices, and fluctuations
in overall levels of supply and demand for mineral exploration and mineral products.
In the face of competition, we may not be successful
in acquiring, exploring or developing profitable mineral properties or interests, and we cannot give any assurance that suitable properties
or interests will be available for our acquisition, exploration or development. Despite this, we intend to compete successfully in the
mineral exploration industry by: (i) keeping our costs low; (ii) relying on the strength of our management’s contacts; and (iii)
using our size and experience to our advantage by adapting quickly to changing market conditions or responding swiftly to potential opportunities.
Compliance with Government Regulation
Mining operations and exploration activities are subject
to various national, state, provincial and local laws and regulations in United States, as well as other jurisdictions, which govern prospecting,
development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment,
mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters.
With respect to the regulation of mineral exploration
and processing, legislation and regulations in various jurisdictions establish performance standards, air and water quality emission standards
and other design or operational requirements for various aspects of the operations, including health and safety standards. Legislation
and regulations also establish requirements for decommissioning, reclamation and rehabilitation of mineral exploration properties following
the cessation of operations and may require that some former mineral properties be managed for long periods of time.
Our current and future mineral exploration activities
will be subject to various levels of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment.
Compliance with applicable laws and regulations may
involve feasibility studies on the surface impact of our proposed operations, costs associated with minimizing surface impact, water treatment
and protection, reclamation activities, including rehabilitation of various sites, on-going efforts at alleviating the mining impact on
wildlife and permits or bonds as may be required to ensure our compliance with applicable laws and regulations. It is possible that the
costs and delays associated with such compliance could become so prohibitive that we may decide to not proceed with exploration, development,
or mining operations on any of our mineral properties.
We will secure all state, federal, local, and foreign
permits necessary for our exploration activities, and will file applications for the required permits to conduct our exploration programs,
as necessary. It is difficult to estimate the cost of compliance with environmental laws and regulations because the full nature and extent
of our proposed activities cannot definitively be determined at this time.
Industry
The commercial viability of an established mineral
deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit,
the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation, and market prices.
Most of these factors will be beyond our control,
and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable.
Worldwide lithium production increased by an estimated
21% in 2021 in response to increased lithium demand for electric cars, and lithium is a key metal used in the batteries that power electric
cars. The Company believes the growing demand for Lithium-ion batteries will continue to drive demand for lithium products, and that the
domestic market for lithium products will be under-supplied for years to come. This situation should position the Company well if the
Company is able to raise the required capital to continue its exploration efforts and successfully identify a commercially viable lithium
deposit.
Long-term supply is uncertain as the major lithium
producers are brine projects which cannot easily increase capacity (risk collapse of water table), and hard rock lithium mining operations
are relatively expensive and time-intensive, which can be cost prohibitive. Even if we are eventually able to discover a mineral reserve
on one or more of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our properties into producing mines to extract
those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk, and few properties which are explored are ultimately
developed into producing mines.

You should carefully
consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this registration statement before making an
investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated herein that are not historic facts are
forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks occurs, our business, financial condition or results
of operations could be harmed. In that case, you may lose all or part of your investment. In addition to other information in this registration
statement and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following risk factors should be carefully considered
in evaluating our business as they may have a significant impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. If any of
the following risks occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially and adversely
affected. Because of the following factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance should
not be considered as a reliable indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or
trends in future periods.
Risks Related to the Company and Its Business
We are dependent upon management, key personnel,
and consultants to execute our business plan.
Our success is heavily dependent upon the continued
active participation of our current management team, especially our current executive officer. Loss of this individual could have a material
adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Further, our success and the achievement of our growth
plans depends on our ability to recruit, hire, train, and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition
for qualified employees among companies in our industry, and the loss of any of such persons, or an inability to attract, retain, and
motivate any additional highly skilled employees required for the expansion of our activities, could have a materially adverse effect
on our business. If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary personnel, consultants, and advisors, it could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, or operations.
Although we are dependent upon certain key personnel,
we do not have any key man life insurance policies on any such people.
We are dependent upon management in order to conduct
our operations and execute our business plan; however, we have not purchased any insurance policies with respect to those individuals
in the event of their death or disability. Therefore, should any of those key personnel, management, or founders die or become disabled,
we will not receive any compensation that would assist with any such person’s absence. The loss of any such person could negatively
affect our business and operations.
Changes in employment laws or regulations could
harm our performance.
Various federal and state labor laws govern the Company’s
relationship with our employees and affect operating costs, including labor laws of non-USA jurisdictions. These laws may include minimum
wage requirements, overtime pay, healthcare reform and the implementation of various federal and state healthcare laws, unemployment tax
rates, workers’ compensation rates, citizenship requirements, union membership and sales taxes. A number of factors could adversely
affect our operating results, including additional government-imposed increases in minimum wages, overtime pay, paid leaves of absence
and mandated health benefits, mandated training for employees, changing regulations from the National Labor Relations Board and increased
employee litigation including claims relating to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties
inherent in mineral exploration ventures, we face a high risk of business failure.
Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties
normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success
must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays encountered in connection with the exploration
of mineral properties. Potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, environmental
permitting difficulties and delays, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed our current estimates. The expenditures we plan
to make in the exploration of our mineral claims may not result in the discovery of commercially viable mineral deposits. Problems such
as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration
efforts.
If the results of our exploration do not reveal viable
commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claims. If this happens, our business will likely fail.
Because of the speculative nature of exploration
of mineral properties, we may never discover a commercially exploitable quantity of minerals, our business may fail, and investors may
lose their entire investment.
We plan to conduct mineral exploration activities
on our mineral properties. The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with No assurance
that exploration on our properties will establish the existence of commercially exploitable mineral reserves on our property. Potential
problems that may prevent us from discovering any mineral reserves on our property include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems
relating to exploration, environmental permitting difficulties and delays, and additional costs and expenses. If we are unable to establish
the presence of commercially exploitable mineral reserves on our properties, our ability to fund future exploration activities will be
impeded, we will not be able to operate profitably, and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
The nature of mineral exploration and production
activities involves a high degree of risk and the possibility of uninsured losses that could materially and adversely affect our operations.
Exploration for minerals is highly speculative and
involves greater risk than many other businesses. Many exploration programs do not result in the discovery of mineralization, and any
mineralization discovered may not be of sufficient quantity or quality to be profitably mined. Few properties that are explored are ultimately
advanced to the stage of producing mines.
Our exploration efforts are, and any future development
or mining operations we may elect to conduct will be, subject to all the operating hazards and risks normally incident to exploring for
and developing mineral properties, including, without limitation:
| · | Economically insufficient mineralized material; |
| · | Fluctuations in production costs that may make
mining uneconomical; |
| · | Unanticipated variations in grade and other geologic
problems; |
| · | Troublesome surface or underground conditions; |
| · | Metallurgical and other processing problems; |
| · | Mechanical and equipment performance problems; |
| · | Failure of pit walls or dams; |
| · | Unusual or unexpected rock formations; |
| · | Personal injury fire, flooding, cave-ins, and
landslides; and |
| · | Decrease in reserves due to lower prices of lithium
and other commodities. |
Mineral operations are subject to applicable
law and government regulation. Even if we discover a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, these laws and regulations
could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineral resource. If we cannot exploit any mineral resource that we might discover
on our properties, our business may fail
Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits
from various foreign, federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including
those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational health,
waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction
and operation of a mine on our properties at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail.
We believe that we are in compliance with all material
laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance.
Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance
that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on
reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with
planned exploration or development of our mineral properties.
The potential profitability of mineral ventures
depends in part upon factors beyond the control of the Company. Even if we are able to discover and exploit hard-rock lithium deposits,
we may never become commercially viable and may be forced to cease operations.
The commercial feasibility of mineral properties is
dependent upon many factors beyond our control, including the existence and size of mineral deposits in the properties we explore, the
proximity and capacity of processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production, and
environmental regulation. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and any one or more of these factors may result in our company
not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
These factors may have material and negative effects
on our financial performance and our ability to continue operations. Our business plan of exploring, mining and developing prospective
lithium assets is sensitive to a number of industry-specific and global issues and events, including, without limitation:
| · | Changing regulatory environment – Changes in the regulatory environment may have an adverse impact
on our ability to explore and develop our mineral properties. |
| · | Geographic considerations – Our operations outside the United States are subject to special risks
and restrictions, including changes in local political or economic conditions, fluctuations in currency values, exchange control regulations,
import or export licensing requirements, import and trade restrictions, and other domestic and foreign governmental practices and policies
affecting U.S. companies doing business in foreign countries. |
| · | Economic and political change – Our business could be adversely affected by economic and political
changes in the markets where we compete, including, without limitation: inflation rates, recessions, trade restrictions, foreign ownership
restrictions and economic embargoes imposed by the United States or any of the foreign countries in which we do business; changes in applicable
laws, taxation, and regulations, and in the interpretation, application and enforcement of such laws, taxation, and regulations; restrictions
imposed by the United States government or foreign governments through exchange controls or taxation policy; nationalization or expropriation
of property, undeveloped property rights, and legal systems or political instability; and other external factors over which we have no
control. Economic and political conditions within the United States and foreign jurisdictions, or strained relations between countries,
may result in fluctuations in demand, price volatility, supply disruptions, or loss of property. |
| · | Climate conditions – Adverse weather conditions may impact our ability to efficiently conduct exploration
activities on our mineral properties and ultimately extract lithium from any lithium deposits we discover. The nature of these events
makes them difficult to predict. |
| · | Fluctuating commodity prices – Our operating results could be significantly affected by commodity
costs, including costs of raw materials. We may not be able to raise our prices or improve our productivity to sufficiently offset future
increases in commodity pricing, and increases in commodity prices may negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations |
Mineralized material is based on interpretation
and assumptions and may yield less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated.
Unless otherwise indicated, mineralized material presented
in our filings with securities regulatory authorities, including the SEC, press releases, and other public statements that may be made
from time to time, are based upon estimates made by our consultants.
When making determinations about whether to advance
any of our projects to development, we must rely upon such estimated calculations as to the mineralized material on our properties. Until
mineralized material is actually mined and processed, it must be considered an estimate only. These estimates are imprecise and depend
on geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable. We
cannot assure investors that these mineralized material estimates will be accurate or that this mineralized material can be mined or processed
profitably. Any material changes in estimates of mineralized material will affect the economic viability of placing a property into production
and such property’s return on capital. There can be No assurance that minerals recovered in small scale tests will be recovered
at production scale. The mineralized material estimates have been determined and valued based on assumed future prices, cut-off grades,
and operating costs that may prove inaccurate. Extended declines in market prices for lithium and other alkali metals may render portions
of our mineralized material uneconomical, which may adversely affect the commercial viability of one or more of our properties and could
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Mineral exploration and development activities
are subject to comprehensive regulation, which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated,
causing an adverse effect on our company.
Mineral exploration and development activities are
subject to various laws, regulations and policies governing prospecting, mine development, mineral production, removal and transport of
natural resources, as well as discharge of materials into the environment. Mining activities are also subject to various regulations regarding
taxation, import and export, labor standards, occupational health standards, safety standards, waste disposal, toxic substances, land
use, water use, environmental protection, and other matters.
Permits from various foreign, federal, state, provincial
and local governmental authorities are required for mining operations to be conducted, and No assurance can be given that such permits
will be successfully obtained. Environmental and other legal standards imposed by governmental authorities may be changed, and any such
change may prevent us from conducting planned activities, or increase our costs of doing so, which could have material adverse effects
on our business. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated,
causing an adverse effect on our business operations.
Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution
or other environmental damages, which we may not be able to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other financial and practical
considerations. Any laws, regulations, or policies of any government body or regulatory agency may be changed, applied, or interpreted
in a manner which will alter and negatively affect our ability to carry on our business. We cannot assure you that new rules and regulations
will not be enacted, or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail our exploration
or development activities on our properties.
Mineral exploration and development is subject
to extraordinary operating risks. We do not currently insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our
liability may exceed our resources, which would have an adverse impact on our company.
Mineral exploration, development and production involves
many risks which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be
subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover a mineral resource in commercially
exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of resources,
including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure.
Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain
any insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence would have
a material adverse impact on our company.
Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable
fluctuations.
We expect to derive revenues, if any, either from
the sale of our mineral resource properties or from the extraction and sale of lithium and/or associated byproducts. The price of those
commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic
and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns,
speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The
effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties
and projects, cannot accurately be predicted.
The mining industry is highly competitive and
there is no assurance that we will continue to be successful in acquiring mineral claims. If we cannot continue to acquire properties
to explore for mineral resources, we may be required to reduce or cease operations.
The mineral exploration, development, and production
industry is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties. While we compete
with other exploration companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we will not compete with them for the
removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient
to make production economically feasible. Readily available markets exist worldwide for the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will
likely be able to sell any mineral products that we identify and produce.
In identifying and acquiring mineral resource properties,
we compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities. This competition could adversely affect
our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any
interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations.
All our properties are in the exploration stage.
Even though we have geologists reports that conclude that there is a big amount of lithium in our properties, there is no guarantee that
we can establish the existence of any mineral resource on any of our properties in commercially exploitable quantities.
Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve
on one or more of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our properties into producing mines and extract
those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately
developed into producing mines.
The commercial viability of an established mineral
deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit,
the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices.
Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource
unprofitable.
If we establish the existence of a mineral resource
on any of our properties in a commercially exploitable quantity, we will require additional capital in order to develop the property into
a producing mine. If we cannot raise this additional capital, we will not be able to exploit the resource, and our business could fail.
If we do discover mineral resources in commercially
exploitable quantities on any of our properties, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the
resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive
substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no assurance that such a resource will be large enough to justify
commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis.
If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail.
We are not
subject to Sarbanes-Oxley regulations and lack the financial controls and safeguards required of public companies.
We have not
been subject to Sarbanes-Oxley throughout our operating history and therefore have not previously developed the internal infrastructure
necessary to complete an attestation of our financial controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We expect to
incur substantial expenses and diversion of management's time if and when it becomes necessary to perform the system and process
evaluation, testing and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification and auditor attestation requirements.
Our Chairman
of the Board of Directors owns preferred stock having voting control of the Company, we have engaged in transactions with related persons,
and conflicts of interest may arise as a result.
Our Chairman of the Board
of Directors, Harpreet Sangha, controls 10,000,000 shares, or 100%, of our Series A Preferred Stock, with such shares having super-voting
rights. By virtue of such stock ownership, Mr. Sangah is able to generally exercise control over our affairs, including the election and
removal of members of our board of directors, amending our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and adopting measures that could delay
or prevent a change of control. Such concentration of ownership and control could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing
a change in control of the Company that might otherwise be beneficial to stockholders.
Additionally, we
have engaged in transactions with Mr. Sangha and other officers and directors of the Company. There can be no assurance that conflicts
of interest will not arise with respect to our officers and directors, or that such conflicts will be resolved in a manner favorable to
the Company.
There
is no guarantee that we will have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our indebtedness or that we will not incur additional
debt.
Holders of
convertible notes issued by us may convert such notes at their option prior to the scheduled maturities of the respective convertible
notes under certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of such notes. Upon conversion of the applicable convertible notes, we will be
obligated to deliver cash and/or shares pursuant to the terms of such notes. Moreover, holders of such convertible notes may have the
right to require us to repurchase their notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change pursuant to the terms of such notes.
Our ability
to make scheduled payments of the principal and interest on our indebtedness when due, to make payments upon conversion or repurchase
demands with respect to our convertible notes, or to refinance our indebtedness as we may need or desire, depends on our future performance,
which is subject to economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flow from
future operations sufficient to satisfy our obligations under our existing indebtedness and any future indebtedness we may incur, and
to make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives,
such as reducing or delaying investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, refinancing, or obtaining additional equity capital
on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance existing or future indebtedness will depend on the capital markets
and our financial condition at such time. In addition, our ability to make payments may be limited by law, by regulatory authority, or
by agreements governing our future indebtedness. We may not be able to engage in these activities on desirable terms or at all, which
may result in a default on our existing or future indebtedness and harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our
indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition or operations, and our ability to raise additional capital financing on favorable
terms.
As of March
31, 2023, we had total outstanding debt of $547,121. Our indebtedness and the terms of the instruments governing such indebtedness could
have significant consequences such as:
| · | Increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; |
| · | Limiting our ability to fund future working capital, capital expenditures costs and other general corporate
requirements; |
| · | Requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness,
thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;
|
| · | Limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in
which we operate; |
| · | Placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and |
| · | Limiting, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in our indebtedness, among other things,
our ability to borrow additional funds or engage in various transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to us. |
We will likely
need to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity financing. There can be no assurance that adequate debt and equity financing
will be available on satisfactory terms. Any such failure to service our debt or an inability to obtain further financing could have a
negative effect on our business and operations.
Additional
financing may not be available to us when we need or want it, nor may it be available on satisfactory terms.
We have limited
capital and there is no assurance that our current capital is sufficient to implement our business plan. We will likely require additional
debt and/or equity financing to pursue our growth and business strategy, including enhancements to our operations infrastructure and improving
our ability to respond to competitive pressures. There can be no assurance that adequate debt and/or equity financing will be available
or offered on satisfactory terms. Any failure to obtain further financing could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and operating results.
Other Risks
We may not realize
the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions, and integration of these acquisitions may disrupt our business and management.
We have made several acquisitions
in the last several years, and in the future, we may acquire additional companies, project pipelines, products, or technologies or enter
into join ventures or other strategic initiatives. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of an acquisition and each acquisition
has numerous risks. These risks include the following:
| · | difficulty in assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired company; |
| · | difficulty in effectively integrating the acquired technologies or products with our current products
and technologies; |
| · | difficulty in achieving profitable commercial scale from acquired technologies; |
| · | difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures, and policies during the transition and integration; |
| · | disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of our management and associates from other opportunities
and challenges due to integration issues; |
| · | difficulty integrating the acquired company’s accounting, management information, and other administrative
systems; |
| · | inability to retain key technical and managerial personnel of the acquired business. |
Risks Related to the
Ownership of Our Common Stock
If we
are subject to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations relating to low-priced stocks, the market for our common stock could be
adversely affected.
The
SEC has adopted regulations concerning low-priced or “penny” stocks. The regulations generally define “penny stock”
to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If our shares are offered
at a market price less than $5.00 per share, and do not qualify for any exemption from the penny stock regulations, our shares may become
subject to these additional regulations relating to low-price stocks.
The
penny stock regulations require that broker-dealer who recommend penny stocks to persons other than institutional accredited investors
make a special suitability determination for the purchase, receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to
the sale and provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents that identify risks associated with investing in penny stocks. Furthermore,
the broker-dealer must obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment form the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received
the required risk disclosure document before effecting a transaction in penny stock. These requirements have historically resulted in
reducing the level of trading activity in securities that become subject to the penny stock rules.
The
additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these penny stock requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions
in the common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and our shareholders’ ability to sell our
common stock in the secondary market.
The trading price of
our common stock is likely to continue to be volatile.
The trading price of our
common stock has been highly volatile and could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which
are beyond our control. The stock market in general has experienced, and likely will continue to experience, substantial price and volume
fluctuations that are often unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performances of companies. Our common stock may be traded by
short sellers which may put pressure on the supply and demand for our company stock, further influencing volatility in its market price.
Public perception and other factors outside of our control may additionally impact our stock price and volatility. The market price of
our common stock will likely fluctuate significantly in response to the following or other factors, again some of which are beyond are
control:
| · | Significant delays in our supply channel; |
| · | Inability to raise additional capital or do so on favorable terms, if necessary, to maintain or grow our
operations; |
| · | Additions or departures of key personnel; |
| · | Future sales of our common stock; |
| · | Stock market price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our stock;
|
| · | Commencement of or involvement in litigation; and |
| · | Our inability to effectively manage our current and future operations. |
Our largest stockholders
have significant control over us and their interests may conflict with or differ from interests of other stockholders.
Our largest stockholders
are Verde Capital, LTD (Harpreet Sangha) and Lawrence Stephenson (collectively, the “Significant Stockholders”). As a result,
the Significant Stockholders have substantial influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of our
directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions such as mergers, tender offers, and the sale of all or substantially
all of our assets. The interests of the Significant Stockholders could conflict with or differ from interests of other stockholders. For
example, the concentration of ownership held by the Significant Stockholders could delay, defer or prevent a change of control of our
company or impede a merger, takeover, or other business combination which a majority of stockholders may view favorably.
We may fail to meet
our publicly announced guidance or other expectations about our business, which could cause our stock price to decline.
From time-to-time we may
provide guidance regarding our expected financial and business performance. Correctly identifying key factors affecting business conditions
and predicting future events is inherently an uncertain process, and our guidance may not ultimately be accurate. Our guidance is based
on certain assumptions such as those relating to sales volumes (which generally are not linear throughout a given period), average sales
prices, supplier and commodity costs, and planned cost reductions. If our guidance varies from actual results due to our assumptions not
being met or the impact on our financial performance that could occur as a result of various risks and uncertainties, the market value
of our common stock could decline significantly.
Transactions relating
to our convertible notes may dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders, or may otherwise depress the price of our common
stock.
The conversion of some or
all of the convertible notes issued by us or our subsidiaries would dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders to the extent
we deliver shares upon conversion of any of such notes by their holders, and we may be required to deliver a significant number of shares.
Any sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect their prevailing market prices.
In addition, the existence of the convertible senior notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of
such notes could be used to satisfy short positions, or the anticipated conversion of such notes into shares of our common stock could
depress the price of our common stock.
We do not anticipate
paying any dividends on our common stock.
We do not anticipate paying
any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Rather, we intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation
and expansion of our business.
General Risk Factors
Unanticipated
changes in our tax provisions, the adoption of a new U.S. tax legislation, or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect
our profitability.
We are subject to income
taxes, and are therefore subject to potential tax examinations, in the United States. Tax authorities may disagree with our tax positions
and assess additional taxes. We regularly assess the likely outcome of these examinations in order to determine the appropriateness of
our tax provision. However, there can be no assurance that we will accurately predict the outcomes of these potential examinations, and
the amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of examinations could be materially different from the amount previously included in our income
tax expense and therefore, could have a material impact on our tax provision, net income, and cash flows. In addition, our future effective
tax rate could be adversely affected by changes to our operating structure, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities,
changes in tax laws, and the discovery of new information in the course of our tax return preparation process. In addition, recently announced
proposals for new U.S. tax legislation could have a material effect on the results of our operations, if enacted.
We
are susceptible to changes in employment laws and regulations or to changes in employment classifications by government agencies.
As we expand our operations,
we may become subject to additional federal and state employment laws. Therefore, we may be required to allocate resources, including
management’s time, to establishing a policy pursuant to which we evaluate any changes in federal and state laws to ensure our compliance
with these requirements. In addition, other factors beyond our control, including increases in minimum wage requirements, overtime pay,
healthcare reform, and other laws and regulations affecting employees, independent contractors, and other third-party service providers,
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation.
We
depend on third-party providers for internet, other communication infrastructures and data management systems upon which our operations
critically rely.
We rely on
third-party service providers for substantially all of our communication and information technology systems, including for product data
management, procurement, inventory management, operations planning and execution, sales, service and logistics, financial, tax and regulatory
compliance systems. We rely on our third-party service providers to protect our systems and databases against intellectual property theft,
data breaches, sabotage and other external or internal cyber-attacks or misappropriation. No assurances can be made that third-party service
providers will protect against those and other risks. Any disruption, either temporary or permanent, to our communication and technology
systems would likely have a significant adverse material effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our operations
could be adversely affected by events outside of our control, such as natural disasters, wars, or health epidemics.
We may be
impacted by natural disasters, wars, health epidemics, or other events outside of our control. If major disasters such as earthquakes,
floods, fires, or other events occur, or our information system or communications breaks down or operates improperly, our headquarters
and/or exploration operations on our various mining properties may be seriously damaged, or we may have to stop or delay our operations.
In addition, the global COVID-19 pandemic has impacted economic markets, manufacturing operations, supply chains, employment and consumer
behavior in nearly every geographic region and industry across the world, and we have been, and may in the future be, adversely affected
as a result. We may incur expenses or delays relating to such events outside of our control, which could have a material adverse impact
on our business, operating results and financial condition.
| Item 2. | Financial Information. |
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fiscal Year End
We have included with this offering circular audited
financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, and unaudited financial statements for the
six months ended March 31, 2023.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information,
including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions
upon which those statements are based, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the
words believes, project, expects, anticipates, estimates, intends, strategy, plan, may, will, would, will be, will continue, will likely
result, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks
and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results
or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our
operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include but are not limited to changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory
changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties
should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Business Development Plan
General Business Plan
We are a U.S. based mineral exploration and mining
company in the pursuit of lithium, a critical battery metal, which will be a major pillar for lowering carbon emissions leading to a zero-carbon
future. Our current focus is on developing our two lithium-in-clay projects located in northern Tanzania and our West End Lithium project
located near Tonopah, Nevada. We intend to explore and develop these projects with the aim of producing and selling lithium carbonate,
a key ingredient for the battery supply chain. Lithium is essential for batteries in electric vehicles and demand is expected to outstrip
supply.
Our largest mineral projects and properties are in
Tanzania and, as of the date of this prospectus, our mineral rights portfolio for battery metals includes approximately 72,344 acres (293
km2) for lithium in two Prospecting Licenses, Titan One and Titan Two. We believe that we hold one of the largest portfolios
of lithium mineral exploration properties in Tanzania, a well-established jurisdiction for the mining industry.
We also are developing a lithium-in-clay project located
in Nevada. The project is strategically located nearby Tonopah close to the center of lithium exploration activities in the U.S. Nevada
was ranked as the top mining jurisdiction in the world for 2022 and we believe this project to be a potential future lithium producer
as it is lays directly within the confines of a growing lithium resource.
Titan One Lithium Project
Our Titan One Lithium Project is currently our largest
endeavor and primary focus. The project is in northeastern Tanzania, within the Pangani Rift Valley (“PRV”), a geologic feature
which extends for more than 850 kilometers in a roughly north-south fashion originating south of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Our current property position at Titan 1 covers approximately
115 square miles (298 km2) which is centered over a large sparsely vegetated playa very similar to those located within the
Southwest U.S. The Titan 1 Property is situated to the west of Tanzanian Highway B1 in northeastern Tanzania, approximately sixty-five
miles southeast of the Kilimanjaro International Airport and 18.5 miles southwest of the town of Same, Same District, Kilimanjaro Region.
See Figure 1.
Titan Two Lithium Project
The Titan 2 Property is situated approximately thirty-six
miles south of the Kilimanjaro International Airport and 18.5 miles northeast of the town of Landanai, Simanjiro District Manyara Region.
See Figure 1.
The Titan 2 PL covers approximately 13,220 acres (53.5
km2) which centers over a dry lakebed with no outflow.
Figure 1. Approximate locations
of Titan 1 and Titan 2 Prospecting Licenses.
Adjacent Projects
At present, other mining and exploration activity
in the region includes privately held gypsum and magnesite mining activity currently in production. Several lithium exploration projects,
held by publicly traded companies, are also under way in Tanzania, however, the focus of those efforts is located far to the southwest
of our project and are targeting hard-rock pegmatites. We believe our portfolio of exploration rights in the region represents one of
the largest lithium property position in Tanzania, and with the location of Tanzania offering shipping to Europe, North America, India,
and China, we believe we have a potential strategic advantage over other mining and exploration companies active in the sector.
Infrastructure and Access
Although our project sits well south of Mount Kilimanjaro,
the infrastructure connecting the Dar es Salaam commercial center to the Mt. Kilimanjaro region is excellent. Our project sits in a corridor
with access to hydroelectric power and water supplies, a well-established road, and a rail network with direct access to commercial ports.
Basic goods and services, industrial suppliers, and a skilled and semi-skilled labor force are also readily available from the surrounding
communities where we operate.
The Titan 1 Property is accessible from the Tanzanian
Highway B1, and by gravel roads to the north end and the south end of the property. The center area of the Property can be easily accessed
with a 4-wheel drive truck.
The Titan 2 Property is accessed from the town of
Landanai which is located on the recently upgraded Meremani – Simanjiro gravel highway, then by driving along approximately 12.5
miles of dirt road to the northeast of the town to Titan 2. There is no difficulty accessing the full area of Titan 2 with a 4-wheel drive
truck.
Geology
The Tanzanian projects occur in basins that are local
“traps” for all the erosion debris from the surrounding areas with Titan 1 covering the main flat playa basin within the Northwest-Southeast
striking PRV and Titan 2 covering an internal drainage system in the western shoulder of the PRV. Within the PRV a small river flows out
to the Indian Ocean from the Mount Kilimanjaro region. In the past, drainage was more likely restricted to the south by mountains. The
Titan 2 basin is arheic with no outward drainage. It is likely that is has always been an internal drainage basin.
There are no outcrops of the underlaying sedimentary
and volcanic strata located in the basin or on the Property. The playa sediments conform to the expected sediments that are the weathered
detritus of the region. The Properties are entirely covered by alluvium related to the main rift valley. The main playa areas are flat
and consist of fine silt size sediments. Some boulders are present around the edge of the playa reflecting the geology of the surrounding
mountains.
There is no other information on these basins. However,
both conform to a dry restrictive basin model that would be conducive to the development of brines and sediments that could contain lithium.
Exploration
Until the recent sampling efforts discovered lithium
in the region, there has been no reported lithium in the deposited volcano-sedimentary units derived from the adjacent tertiary volcanics
of the East African Rift volcanism with Tanzania.
Since initiating our exploration program in the first
months of 2023, our team has focused on evaluating the lithium potential of the areas by examining the geochemical constituents in the
alluvium cover of the Titan projects. This is a methodology that has been high effective in playa basins within the southwestern U.S.
Soil samples are collected into cloth bags from the B Soil Horizon which occurs just under any organics found in the soil.
Typically, soil geochemical samples are taken by methodical
regular spaced sampling which efficiently assists in defining the size of potential exploration target. Grades that have been returned
from soil sampling of metallic ore bodies are characteristically a fraction of the underlying metal content.
Results from our Phase one exploration program have
demonstrated the existence of strong lithium-in-soil results over large areas within the project boundaries which indicate the need for
further exploration work. All soil samples were located, collected, catalogued, and transported in the presence of a Qualified Person.
The samples were then prepared and analyzed at the independent, and ISO 9001 certified, African Minerals and Geosciences Centre (AMGC)
in Dar es Salaam.
Elemental sample results from the Titan projects have
returned results unparalleled in size and grade of lithium. Anomalous lithium results in Nevada basins are typically on the order of 50
to 400ppm, sometimes reaching 1,000 ppm Li. Whereas results from both Titan 1 and Titan 2 have returned lithium values ranging from 500
to over 9,000 ppm Li, with values in some regions well over 10,000 ppm Li or 1% lithium.
At the time of this filing, the average value for
our large positive Lithium in-soil anomalies stands at 25 square miles, or 16,000 acres, averaging 4,376 ppm Li for Titan 1. The Titan
2 project’s anomalous area covers 1,500 acres and averages 4,044 ppm Li.
For a comparative scale, the Thacker Pass, the
largest recorded Lithium-in-clay deposit, has an open pit design containing a 40-year life-of-mine plan with an average of 3,160 ppm Lithium
and covers an area of 1,093 acres.
Work on the Titan projects is on-going and the extent
of the lithium-in-soil has not yet been fully defined. After this Phase One exploration program, we intend to begin more intense examination
of the area by geophysics, trenching and drilling.
The West End Lithium Project
The West End Lithium (“WEL”) Project is
located directly within the Tonopah Lithium Claims (“TLC”) Claim. The TLC Project is a sedimentary hosted lithium claystone
deposit located six miles northwest of the town of Tonopah, Nevada (see Figure 2).
Figure 2. The location of the
West End Claim Block
Geology
The WEL claim block geology is identical to that of
the surrounding TLC project which has been the subject of extensive work. Lithium at the TLC project is held within relatively near-surface
gently dipping claystone. Exploration and drilling continue to expand the project along a roughly northwest-southeast trend (see Figure
3).
Figure 3. WEL Claim
group (grey E-shape) with the TLC project resource boundaries.
Exploration
To date we have not drilled on the WEL claim block.
However, all geologic investigative work suggests the project is underlain by the same geologic formations which host the lithium mineralization
at the TLC project. Thus, we believe the WEL claim block will be able to generate lithium-in-clay resources.
Adjacent Projects
We are greatly encouraged by the results of the TLC
drilling efforts project which has cored mineralized sections both to the north, south, and east of the WEL claims.
As of January 17, 2023, the work at the TLC project
has produced NI 43-101 compliant resources of:
| · | Measured Resource - 4.2 Mt Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (“LCE”) (860 Mt @ 924 ppm Li) |
| · | Indicated Resource – 4.63 Mt LCE (1192 Mt @ 727 ppm Li) |
| · | Measured + Indicated Resource – 8.83 Mt LCE (2052 Mt @ 809 ppm Li) |
| · | Inferred Resource – 1.86 Mt LCE (486 Mt @ 713 ppm Li) |
| · | The resources are calculated employing a cut-off of 500 ppm Li. |
On February 1, 2023, American Lithium announced a
Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the TLC project which demonstrated robust economics and the potential to become
a substantial, long-life producer of low-cost lithium carbonate producer.
The PEA base case envisions an initial 4.4 million
tonnes per annum (“Mtpa”) processing throughput expanding to 8.8Mtpa.
TLC PEA Base Case – Li only production:
| · | Pre-tax Net Present Value (“NPV”) $3.64 billion at $20,000/tonne (“t”) LCE |
| · | After-tax NPV8% $3.26 billion at $20,000/t LCE |
| · | Pre-tax Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 28.8% |
| · | After-tax IRR of 27.5% |
| · | PEA mine and processing plan produces 1.46 Mt LCE LOM over forty years. |
| · | Pre-tax initial capital payback period 3.6 years; after-tax payback 3.8 years |
| · | Average LOM annual pre-tax cash flow: $435 million; annual after-tax cash flow: $396 million |
| · | Initial Capital Costs (“Capex”) estimated at $819 million. |
| · | Total Capex estimated at $1,431 million; Sustaining Capital estimated at $792
million. |
| · | Operating cost (“Opex”) estimated at $7443/t LCE inclusive of power credits. |
Metallurgical Testing
In parallel with our planned Phase 2 program for the
Titan project, which will include a first pass drilling campaign, we will initiate preliminary recovery and metallurgical testing program
to determine the potential for producing commercial grade lithium concentrate from the alluvium that covers much of our Titan area.
To date, samples from the alluvium have been of high-grade
nature and the Company has confidence there is a quantifiable lithium resource within this easily collectible material that may be commercially
viable. Bulk samples will be submitted to an internationally accredited independent analytical laboratory for various testing to determine
effective and environmentally friendly methodologies for Lithium extraction.
For our Titan drill program, we core the underlying
geologic stratum. We plan to conduct metallurgical testing on an ongoing basis so we can rapidly understand both the potential lithium
mineral resources as well as their optimum recovery methods.
Environmental, Social and Governance
We are deeply committed to Environmental, Social,
and Corporate Governance (“ESG”) causes. We have mapped out a plan in these important matters and our efforts are effective
in the communities in which we operate. Management has operated in Tanzania previously and in the last few months, we have constantly
engaged with the local people within the areas in which we operate. We also have built an excellent relationship with the governing bodies
and plan to coordinate a baseline environmental survey this fall.
Lithium Market
Lithium is on the list of the thirty-five minerals
considered critical to the economic and national security of the United States as first published by the U.S. Department of the Interior
on May 18, 2018. In June 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy published a report titled “National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries
2021-2030” (the “NBLB Report”) which was developed by the Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries (“FCAB”),
a collaboration by the U.S. Departments of Energy, Defense, Commerce, and State. According to the NBLB Report, one of the main goals of
this U.S. government effort is to “secure U.S. access to raw materials for lithium batteries.”
Soon after the publication of the NBLB Report, the
United States, Canada, Australia, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the European Commission
established the Minerals Security Partnership (“MSP”) aimed at securing the supply of critical minerals deemed essential for
the transition to clean energy and other technologies. The MSP specifically covers such minerals as lithium, nickel, and cobalt, recognizing
demand is projected to expand significantly in the coming decades.
Jose Fernandez, Under Secretary for Economic Growth,
Energy and the Environment at the State Department, commented after publication of the MSP, “Massive amounts of these minerals will
be needed to meet the United States' emissions reduction goals” and that the U.S. will require “six times more lithium by
2050 than today in order to meet the clean energy goals.”
The NBLB Report succinctly summarizes the U.S. government’s
views on the need for lithium and the expected growth of the lithium battery market.
Electric Vehicle Demand
The growth in electric vehicles (“EVs”)
will generate the greatest need for lithium-based batteries. The NBLB Report states: “Bloomberg projects worldwide sales of 56 million
passenger electric vehicles in 2040, of which 17% (about 9.6 million EVs) will be in the U.S. market.”
The following graph shows the actual and estimated
global annual sales of passenger EVs, including both Battery Electric Vehicles (“BEVs”) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
(“PHEVs”).
Figure 4. Source: NBLB Report (defined
above). Original Source: Bloomberg NEF Long-Term Electric Vehicle Outlook 2019.
The 2021 Bloomberg Long-Term Electric Vehicle Outlook
report stated: “The outlook for EV adoption is getting much brighter, due to a combination of more policy support, further improvements
in battery density and cost, more charging infrastructure being built, and rising commitments from automakers. Passenger EV sales are
set to increase sharply in the next few years, rising from 3.1 million in 2020 to 14 million in 2025. Globally, this represents around
16% of passenger vehicle sales in 2025, but some countries achieve much higher shares. In Germany, for example, EVs represent 40% of total
sales by 2025, while China – the world’s largest auto market – hits 25%.”
In fact, real world sales of EVs have already surpassed
the NBLB Report’s predictions. The April 2023 edition of the International Energy Agency’s (“IEA”) annual Global
Electric Vehicle Outlook shows that more than ten million electric cars were sold worldwide in 2022 rather than the five million
predicted by the NBLB Report. The IEA further states that sales are expected to grow by another 35% in 2023 to reach fourteen million,
double the number predicted by the NBLB Report in 2021. This projected growth means that EVs share of the overall car market rose from
around 4% in 2020 to 14% in 2022 and is set to attain 18% in 2023.
Grid Storage Demand
Regarding the lithium battery growth derived from
grid storage demands, the NBLB Report states: “In addition to the EV market, grid storage uses of advanced batteries are also
anticipated to grow, with Bloomberg projecting total global deployment to reach over 1,095 GW by 2040, growing substantially from 9 GW
in 2018;” and “Bloomberg forecasts 3.2 million EV sales in the U.S. for 2028, and over 200 GW of lithium-ion battery-based
grid storage deployed globally by 2028. With an average EV battery capacity of 100 kWh, 320 GWh of domestic lithium-ion battery production
capacity will be needed just to meet passenger EV demand. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence forecasts U.S. lithium-ion battery production
capacity of 148 GWh by 2028 less than 50% of projected demand.”
Growth in Lithium Prices
Directly relevant to our goal to produce lithium carbonate
for sale, the chart below indicates the price of lithium carbonate over the last 12 years (Figure 5).
Figure 5. Average Annual Lithium Carbonate Price over
12-year period. Source: Statista website. Current price is over 40,000 USD/t.
Several of the advanced Lithium-in-Clay deposits,
such as the Thacker Pass, TLC, and the Sonora Deposit have cash costs for Lithium Carbonate production from clays in the order of 3,500
to 7,400 per ton, thus making the production of lithium carbonate products from clays very profitable.
As of the date of this filing, the current Lithium
Carbonate price is approximately $42,400 USD/ton.
Developments Potentially Affecting Lithium Demand
Many consumer-driven factors are contributing to the
demand for lithium in portable electronics and Electric Vehicles. However, government mandates across some U.S. States as well as entire
countries are hastening a global decarbonization drive away from gas powered vehicles and accelerating demand for lithium.
In California, which has a car market only slightly
smaller than that of France, Italy, and Britain, approved the Advanced Clean Cars II in 2022. This act establishes a year-by-year
roadmap so that by 2035 100% of new cars and light trucks sold in California will be zero-emission vehicles, including plug-in hybrid
electric vehicles.
Huge vehicle marketplaces like China, Europe and India
have all enacted policies towards adopting low to zero emission vehicles in the coming 15 years. Examples of such policies are as follows:
| · | April 2021 – China imposes a mandate on automakers requiring that electric vehicles make up 40%
of all sales by 2030. |
| · | June 2022 - the European Union Parliament voted to ban the sale of new diesel and gasoline cars and vans
starting in 2035. |
| · | India – 20 of 28 states have now adopted EV policies that strongly set targets for the adoption
of electrification across multiple vehicle classes. |
Current Predictions
Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, a well-respected global
consulting firm specializing in the battery supply chain market, predicts that:
| · | Demand for lithium-ion batteries is set to grow six-fold by 2032 as global automakers scale up production
of EVs. |
| · | A huge raw material deficit in Lithium, nickel, and cobalt is on the horizon as new mines are slow to
come online to supply the increase in demand. |
| · | $920 billion USD in investment dollars is required by 2030 to meet the world’s requirements of battery
components. The world requires seventy-four new lithium mines with an average size of 45,000 tonnes by 2035. |
Summary of Our Opportunity
Since initiating exploration on our portfolio of projects,
we have confirmed the widespread presence of lithium across the targeted playas.
Economic indicators appear very favorable to maintaining
the long-term demand and price of lithium carbonate. Assessment work completed on the most advanced of the clay hosted lithium deposits
worldwide predict extremely favorable processing economics.
At the Titan Projects, due to their size, high grades
and favorable geologic locations, our team of technical experts sees excellent opportunities for rapidly progressing the lithium anomalies
into world class lithium-in-clay development projects.

The Company had no revenues for the relevant periods.
For the years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021,
the Company had operating expenses of $130,608 and $15,000, respectively. The change was driven by increased legal and auditor fees, and
increased general and administrative expenses.
For the years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021,
the Company generated net losses of $(95,080) and $(15,000), respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operating activities was $90,421
and $(10,000) for the years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $(128,200)
and $-0- for the years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $42,631
and $10,000 for the years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $4,852 in
cash to fund its operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March
31, 2023, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our
financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that are material to investors.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $(1,322,171) at March 31, 2023, an accumulated
deficit of $(1,322,171) at September 30, 2022, and an accumulated deficit of $(1,227,092) at September 30, 2021. The Company had
net loss of $(166,725) for the six months ended March 31, 2023, a net loss of $(95,079) for the year ended September 30, 2022, and a net
loss of $(15,000) for the year ended September 30, 2021. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability
to repay or settle its current indebtedness, generate positive cash flow from operations, and/or raise capital through equity and debt
financing or other means on desirable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are required or if the
funds cannot be obtained on favorable terms, management may be required to restructure the Company or cease operations. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We have identified
the policies in the attached financial statements as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations.
The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular
transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment
in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation where such policies affect our reported and expected
financial results. Note that our preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual
results will not differ from those estimates. For more information, see "Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"
in the attached financial statements.
Additional
Company Matters
The Company
has not filed for bankruptcy protection.
On January 20, 2021, the District Court of Clark County,
Nevada entered an Order Granting Application for Appointment (the “Order”) of SSM Monopoly Corporation as Custodian of the
Company. On December 7, 2021, the Custodian filed a Motion to Discharge Custodianship and Enter Final Order (the “Motion”).
In the Motion, the Custodian petitioned the court to (i) approve the acts taken by the Custodian, including the appointment of management,
cancellation of 9,011,469 shares and the conducting of a shareholder meeting, (ii) discharge SSM Monopoly as Custodian of the Company
and (iii) return control to the Board of Directors. On January 6, 2022, the District Court of Clark County, Nevada issued the Order of
Final Discharge.
nor has it ever
been involved in receivership or similar proceedings.
We
may from time to time be involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature we believe are normal and incidental to our business.
Should such litigation ever ensue, it may have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of
management resources, and other factors.
We
are not presently a party to any legal proceedings.
Subsequent Material Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events that have
occurred after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2023, and up through the date of this Registration Statement. There are two types of
subsequent events: (i) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the date of the
balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (ii) non-recognized, or those that
provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date. The
Company has determined that there are no additional events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the attached financial statements.
Principal Executive Office
Our principal executive office is located at 4005
West Reno Ave, STE F, Las Vegas, NV 89118. This property is owned by management and is leased to the Company at no cost. We believe these
facilities are adequate for our current needs, and that alternate facilities on similar terms would be readily available, if needed.
Mineral Properties
Titan
Projects (Tanzania)
Titan 1 (Prospecting
License PL22468/2022) comprises approximately 298 km2, or 115 square miles, and is located west of Tanzanian Highway B1 in
eastern Tanzania, approximately 30 kilometers southwest of the town of Same, Same District, Kilimanjaro Region. A central point in Titan
1 is located at the following coordinates: Latitude 4o 16’ 0” S and Longitude 37o 33’ 30”
E. (Figure 1)
Titan 2 (Prospecting
License PL23071/2023) comprises approximately 53 km2, or 20 square miles, and is located approximately 30 kilometers northeast
of the town of Landanai, Simanjiro District, Manyara Region A central point in Titan 2 is located at the following coordinates: Latitude
3o 56’ 30” S and Longitude 3o 16’ 20” E. (Figure 1)
Topography & Geology
Topography in the area is moderate with flat basins
represented by dry lake flats. The area of the Titan Projects is a hot equatorial climate. There are no known historical lithium exploration
efforts in this area.
The geology of the surrounding mountains is predominantly
comprised of metasedimentary rocks of the eastern Usagaran Belt. Titan 1 and Titan 2, both basins, have been local “traps”
where playa sediments host the erosion debris from the surrounding areas. The Titan Projects are covered entirely by alluvium with no
outcrops.
Initial Exploration
Lithium mineralization with values consistently above
3,000 ppm has been identified on the Titan Projects. Titan 1 had 94 soil samples taken, while Titan 2 had 22 samples taken. Of the samples
taken, 22 from Titan 1 and 4 from Titan 2 have lithium values in excess of 0.30%. The highest concentrated samples were 2.24% at Titan
1 and 0.92% at Titan 2. Based on these findings, the Company is preparing for a Phase I exploration program with an estimated cost of
$170,000. If Phase I is successful, the Company will pursue a dependent Phase II exploration program with a cost of approximately $1,140,000
to engage in deeper drilling and exploration to determine the overall viability of the Titan Projects. We estimate the total cost of Phase
I and Phase II (including overhead) to be approximately $1,710,000.
Prospecting Licenses
A Prospecting License (“PL”) in Tanzania
grants exclusive exploration rights over the area of the PL for a period of four (4) years with annual renewal fees due each year on the
anniversary date of the PL.
Surface rights are not part of a PL and must be negotiated
with the lawful occupiers of land. Surface rights in respect of the Titan Projects are currently held by the local Masai and other Tanzanian
nationals. To date, the Company has not commenced negotiations with the surface right owners. There are no known environmental liabilities
to which the Titan Projects are subject.
All exploration is permitted by the PL up to and including
bulk testing. A specific mining license must be obtained prior to engaging in actual mining operations and extractions. The application
for a mining license must be accompanied by a comprehensive environmental study and report. However, no additional permits will be required
to complete our Phase I and Phase II exploration program.
West End
Lithium Project (Tonopah, Nevada)
The West End Lithium Project (“WEL”) comprises
24 unpatented lode mining claims over approximately 460 acres of land located 6 miles northwest of Tonopah, Nevada. WEL is accessible
by exiting onto Gabbs Pole Line Road from Highway 6. WEL runs adjacent to the Tonopah Lithium Project which hosts lithium carbonate equivalent
(LCE) measured resources, indicated resources, and inferred resources. Initial exploration efforts on the WEL claims suggest WEL is underlain
by the same Miocene claystone rock sequence underlying the Tonopah Lithium Project. We are in the process of formalizing and organizing
exploration plans for the WEL claims.

The ability of individual
stockholders to trade their shares in a particular state may be subject to various rules and regulations of that state. A number of states
require that an issuer’s securities be registered in their state or appropriately exempted from registration before the securities
are permitted to trade in that state. Presently, we have no plans to register our securities in any particular state. Further, our shares
may be subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock”
rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition
of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.
The SEC generally defines
penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides
that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange
meeting specified criteria set by the SEC; authorized for quotation on The NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company;
excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the issuer’s net tangible assets; or exempted from
the definition by the SEC. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally
persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 by an individual, or $300,000 together with his or her
spouse), are subject to additional sales practice requirements.
For transactions covered
by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have received
the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock,
unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock
market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current
quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent to clients disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks
held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers
to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares.
As
of July 31, 2023, out of a total of 500,000,000 shares authorized, 147,494,772 shares are issued as restricted securities and can only
be sold or otherwise transferred pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from
registration. Of such restricted shares, 141,000,000 (95.5%) shares are held by affiliates (directors, officers and 10% holders), with
the balance of 6,494,772 (4.5%) shares being held by non-affiliates.
In
general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted
shares of a reporting company for at least six months, including any person who may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of the
company (as the term “affiliate” is defined under the Securities Act), is entitled to sell, within any three-month period,
an amount of shares that does not exceed the greater of (i) the average weekly trading volume in the company’s common stock, as
reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association, during the four calendar weeks preceding such
sale or (ii) 1% of the shares then outstanding. In order for a stockholder to rely on Rule 144, adequate current public information with
respect to the company must be available. A person who is not deemed to be an affiliate of the company and has not been an affiliate for
the most recent three months, and who has held restricted shares for at least one year is entitled to sell such shares without regard
to the various resale limitations under Rule 144. Under Rule 144, the requirements of paragraphs (c), (e), (f), and (h) of such Rule do
not apply to restricted securities sold for the account of a person who is not an affiliate of an issuer at the time of the sale and has
not been an affiliate during the preceding three months, provided the securities have been beneficially owned by the seller for a period
of at least one year prior to their sale. For purposes of this registration statement, a controlling stockholder is considered to be a
person who owns 10% or more of the company’s total outstanding shares, or is otherwise an affiliate of the Company. No individual
person owning shares that are considered to be not restricted owns more than 10% of the Company’s total outstanding shares.
Holders
As of March 31, 2023, we
had 86 shareholders of common stock per transfer agent’s shareholder list.
Dividends
The Company has not paid
any cash dividends to date and does not anticipate or contemplate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention
of management to utilize all available funds for the growth of the Registrant’s business.
Equity Compensation Plan
Information
The Company has not yet adopted
an equity compensation plan as of March 31, 2023, or subsequently through the filing of this registration statement.

The following is a summary of the rights of our Common
Stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our articles of incorporation,
bylaws, and the Certificates of Designation (as defined below) of our preferred stock, copies of which are filed as exhibits to the registration
statement, and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law. The Company is authorized by its Certificate of Incorporation to issue an
aggregate of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and 10,000,000 shares

Common Stock
Dividend Rights
Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares
of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our Common Stock may receive dividends out of funds legally available if our
Board, at its discretion, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that our Board may determine. We
have not paid any dividends on our Common Stock and do not contemplate doing so in the foreseeable future.
Voting Rights
Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each
share of common stock held by such stockholders.
Preferred Stock in General
The preferred stock of the Company may be issued from
time to time by the Board of Directors in one or more series. The description of shares of each series of preferred stock will be set
forth in resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors and a Certificate of Designation to be filed as required by Delaware law prior
to issuance of any shares of the series. The Certificate of Designation will set the number of shares to be included in each series of
preferred stock and set the designations, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distribution,
qualifications, or terms and conditions of redemption relating to the shares of each series. However, the Board of Directors is not authorized
to change the right of the common stock to vote one vote per share on all matters submitted for shareholder action. The authority of the
Board of Directors with respect to each series of preferred stock includes, but is not limited to, setting or changing the following:
| · | The number of shares constituting such series and the distinctive designation of such series; |
| · | The dividend rate on the shares of such series, whether dividends shall be cumulative, and, if so, from
which date or dates, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of such series; |
| · | Whether such series shall have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights provided by law, and, if
so, the terms of such voting rights; |
| · | Whether such series shall have conversion privileges, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion,
including provision for adjustment of the conversion rate in such events as the Board of Directors shall determine; |
| · | Whether or not the shares of such series shall be redeemable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of
such redemption, including the date or dates upon or after which they shall be redeemable, and the amount per share payable in case of
redemption, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption dates; |
| · | Whether such series shall have a sinking fund for the redemption or purchase of shares of such series,
and, if so, the terms and amount of such sinking fund; |
| · | The rights of the shares of such series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of shares of such series; |
| · | Any other relative rights, preferences and limitations of such series. |
The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000
shares of Class A preferred stock, par value $0.01, and 5,000,000 shares of Class B preferred stock, par value $0.01. As of the date of
this filing, there are 10,000,000 shares of Class A preferred stock issued and outstanding and -0- shares of Class B preferred stock issued
and outstanding. The rights and preferences of each class of preferred stock are described below.
Class A Preferred Stock:
| · | Each share of Class A Preferred Stock has voting rights equal to the result of: (i) 1.5 multiplied by
the addition of: (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at the time of such vote; and (B) the number of votes
in the aggregate of any outstanding shares of any class of preferred stock of the Corporation (other than the Series A Preferred Stock),
if any, at the time of such vote; divided by (ii) the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the
time of such vote, at each meeting of shareholders of the Corporation with respect to any and all matters presented to the shareholders
of the Corporation for their action or consideration, including the election of directors. |
| · | Each share of Class A Preferred Stock is convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the result of: (i) 1.5 multiplied by the addition of: (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at the time of such
vote; and (B) the number of votes in the aggregate of any outstanding shares of any class of preferred stock of the Corporation (other
than the Series A Preferred Stock), if any, at the time of such vote; divided by (ii) the total number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock issued and outstanding at the time of such vote, at each meeting of shareholders of the Corporation with respect to any and all
matters presented to the shareholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration, including the election of directors. |
| · | Holders are entitled, in the event of any voluntary liquidation or dissolution, to receive payment or
distribution of preferential amount before any payments or distributions are received by any class of common stock. |
| · | Holders are not entitled to receive dividends. |
| · | Class A shares are non-dilutable. |
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Olde Monmouth
Stock Transfer with an address at 200 Memorial Parkway Atlantic Highlands, NJ 07716. Their phone number is (732) 872-2727.
| Item 12. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
Our articles provide to the fullest extent permitted
by Delaware Law that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to the Company or our stockholders for damages for breach
of such directors’ or officers’ fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our articles is to eliminate our rights and
the rights of our stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover damages against a director
or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent
behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our articles are necessary
to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Delaware corporate law provides that a corporation
may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent made a party to an action by reason of that fact that he was a director, officer
employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with such action if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

CHINA DONGSHENG INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements
March 31, 2023, and 2022
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
CHINA DONGSHENG INTERNATIONAL, INC (the
“Company”) through its wholly owned subsidiary Titan Lithium Inc., is a lithium explorer and developer with operations in
Nevada, USA and The United Republic of Tanzania.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property
and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially
expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash is deposited
with major financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of financial instruments included
in cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturities for the instruments held. There were $4,852.00,
and $0.00 in cash and cash equivalents for the periods ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange
price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market
for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic No. 820 establishes
a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as described
below:
Level 1: Level
1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Level
2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include
quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active, and observable inputs other than quoted
prices such as interest rates.
Level 3: Level
3 inputs are unobservable inputs.
The following required disclosure
of the estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate
valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly,
the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The methods and assumptions used to
estimate the fair values of each class of financial instruments are as follows: Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable. The items are
generally short-term in nature, and accordingly, the carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets are reasonable approximations
of their fair values.
The carrying amounts of Notes Payable
approximate the fair value as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.
Income Taxes
We follow ASC 740-10-30, which requires
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement
and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to
reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the
assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We adopted ASC 740-10-25 (“ASC
740-10-25”) with regard to uncertainty income taxes. ASC 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed
or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25, we may recognize
the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination
by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements
from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting
in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. We had no material adjustments to our liabilities for unrecognized income
tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25.
Basic EPS is calculated by
dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated based on the net income (loss) available to common stockholders and the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the effects of all potential dilutive common stock
issuances related to options, warrants, restricted stock units and convertible preferred stock. The dilutive effect of our share-based
awards and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes all share- based awards and warrants are exercised and
the hypothetical proceeds from exercise are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The incremental
shares (i.e., the difference between shares assumed to be issued versus purchased), to the extent they would have been dilutive, are
included in the denominator of the diluted EPS calculation. The dilutive effect of our convertible preferred stock is computed using
the if-converted method, which assumes conversion at the beginning of the year. However, when a net loss exists, no potential common
stock equivalents are included in the computation of the diluted per-share amount because the computation would result in an anti-dilutive
per-share amount.
Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the period
ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:
| Total | |
March 31, 2023 | | |
March 31, 2022 | |
| Convertible debt | |
| 202,654 | | |
| 20,229 | |
| Total | |
| 202,654 | | |
| 20,229 | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all applicable
accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements
unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued
that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING
CONCERN
The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern, the Company has continuously incurred a net loss
of $(166,917) for the period ended March 31, 2023, and an accumulated deficit of $(1,577,272) on March 31, 2023. The continuation of
the Company as a going concern through March 31, 2023, is dependent upon improving the profitability and the continuing financial support
from its stockholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the
Company’s obligations as they become due.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the company ability to continue as a going
concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.
NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES
The Company’s deferred tax assets
relate to net operating losses that may be carried forward to future years. At March 31, 2023, the Company has available net operating
losses of $(166,917) and $nil for federal and state income taxes, respectively.
No tax benefit has been reported in
the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carryforwards will not be utilized. Accordingly,
the potential tax benefits of the loss carry-forward are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. The Company’s increase
in valuation allowance of NIL during the year ended December 31, 2022, was recorded to offset the deferred tax benefit of the Company’s
tax loss for the year.
The Company’s decrease in valuation
of $NIL during the period ended March 31, 2023, was recorded to offset the deferred tax expense incurred during the period ended March
31, 2023, which was attributable to the change in the federal statutory rate which impacted the deferred tax asset associated with the
Company’s net operating losses that can be utilized to offset future taxable income of the Company.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the
following components as of:
| | |
March 31, 2023 | | |
March 31, 20221 | |
| Federal income tax benefit attributable to: | |
| | | |
| | |
| Current Operations | |
$ | – | | |
$ | – | |
| Less: valuation allowance | |
| – | | |
| – | |
| Net provision for Federal income taxes | |
$ | – | | |
$ | – | |
The income tax provision differs from the amount of
income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the fiscal years ending,
due to the following:
| | |
March 31, 2023 | | |
March 31, 2022 | |
| Deferred tax asset attributable to: | |
| | | |
| | |
| Net operating loss carryover | |
$ | – | | |
$ | – | |
| Less: valuation allowance | |
| – | | |
| – | |
| Net deferred tax asset | |
$ | – | | |
$ | – | |
As of March 31, 2023, and 2022, the
Company does not believe that it has taken any tax positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability, nor does
it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next twelve months. The Company’s
income tax returns are subject to examination by the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s income
tax returns generally remain open for examination for three years from the date filed with each taxing jurisdiction.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of
China Dongsheng International, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of
China Dongsheng International Inc. (the "Company") as of September 30, 2022, and 2021, and the related statements
of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows, for the year ended September 30, 2022, and the related notes collectively
referred to as the "financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2022, and 2021, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming the company will continue as a going concern as disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statement, the Company has continuously
incurred a net loss of $(95,079) for the year ended September 30, 2022, and an accumulated deficit of $(1,322,171) at September 30, 2022.
The continuation of the Company as a going concern through September 30, 2022, is dependent upon improving the profitability and the continuing
financial support from its stockholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional
cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the company
ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
the uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements
based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB")
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The company is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

CHINA DONGSHENG INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2022, and 2021
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
CHINA DONGSHENG INTERNATIONAL, INC (the “Company”)
through its wholly owned subsidiary Titan Lithium Inc., is a lithium explorer and developer with operations in Nevada, USA and The United
Republic of Tanzania.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the
Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash is deposited with
major financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of financial instruments included
in cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturities for the instruments held. There were $4,852.00,
and $0.00 in cash and cash equivalents for the years ended September 30, 2022, and 2021.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would
be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic No. 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as described below:
Level 1: Level 1 inputs
are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Level 2 inputs
are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted
prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active, and observable inputs other than quoted prices
such as interest rates.
Level 3: Level 3 inputs
are unobservable inputs.
The following required disclosure of the
estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate
valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value.
Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated
fair value amounts. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instruments are as
follows: Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable. The items are generally short-term in nature, and accordingly, the carrying
amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets are reasonable approximations of their fair values.
The carrying amounts of Notes Payable approximate
the fair value as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.
Income Taxes
We follow ASC 740-10-30, which requires recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements
or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and
tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets
will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We adopted ASC 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”)
with regard to uncertainty income taxes. ASC 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to
be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25, we may recognize the tax benefit
from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing
authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a
position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim
periods and requires increased disclosures. We had no material adjustments to our liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits
according to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25.
Net income (loss) per common share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant
to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common
share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares
of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares
assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. For the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,
the diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per shares as the inclusion of any potentially dilutive shares would result in
anti- dilution due to the net loss incurred by the Company
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all applicable
accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements
unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been
issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming the company will continue as a going concern, the Company has continuously incurred a net loss of $(89,888) for the year ended
September 30, 2022, and an accumulated deficit of $(1,316,980) at September 30, 2022. The continuation of the Company as a going concern
through September 30, 2022, is dependent upon improving the profitability and the continuing financial support from its stockholders.
Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations
as they become due.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the company
ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
the uncertainty.
NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES
The Company’s deferred tax assets relate to
net operating losses that may be carried forward to future years. At September 30, 2022, the Company has available net operating losses
of $(89,888) and $nil for federal and state income taxes, respectively.
No tax benefit has been reported in the financial
statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carryforwards will not be utilized. Accordingly, the potential
tax benefits of the loss carry-forward are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. The Company’s increase in valuation
allowance of 16,817 during the year ended December 31, 2022, was recorded to offset the deferred tax benefit of the Company’s tax
loss for the year.
The Company’s decrease in valuation of $NIL
during the year ended September 30, 2022, was recorded to offset the deferred tax expense incurred during the year ended September 30,
2022, which was attributable to the change in the federal statutory rate which impacted the deferred tax asset associated with the Company’s
net operating losses that can be utilized to offset future taxable income of the Company.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components
as of:
| | |
September 30, 2022 | | |
September 30, 2021 | |
| Federal income tax benefit attributable to: | |
| | | |

The income tax provision differs from the amount of
income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the fiscal years ending,
due to the following:
| | |
September 30, 2022 | | |

| (257,689 | ) |
| Net deferred tax asset | |
$ | 1,044,515 | | |
$ | 969,403 | |
As of September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company does
not believe that it has taken any tax positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability, nor does it believe
that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next twelve months. The Company’s income
tax returns are subject to examination by the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s income tax
returns generally remain open for examination for three years from the date filed with each taxing jurisdiction.
NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE AND DERIVATIVE
LIABILITIES
The company had a convertible note dated January 15,
2015, with Sterling Global in the amount of $96,000. The note has a conversion price of $0.00005. This note was sold and transferred 100%
to EROP Enterprises, LLC as of September 29, 2021. On March 11, 2022, EROP Enterprises sold $ 5,000 of this Note to a third party. On
March 15, 2022, EROP Enterprises informed the Company of its decision to cancel $75,000 of principal from the Note. After this cancellation,
EROP Enterprises, LLC, retained $ 15,229 of the principal remaining on the note.
On March 18, 2022, the Company lent $ 35,000 to a
shareholder in the form of a 2% 60-day promissory note. The promissory note has been extended to March 31, 2023.

LLC (“EROP”), a shareholder of the Company, entered into an unsecured convertible note payable for $5,000 (“April 5,

On June 30, 2022, the Company and EROP Enterprises,
LLC (“EROP”), a shareholder of the Company, entered into an unsecured convertible note payable for $5,000 (“June 30,

classified as derivative liabilities and recorded at fair value.

in excess of the net proceeds from the notes payable in the amount of $20,594 was recognized as loss on derivative liability for the year
ended September 30, 2022.

in excess of the net proceeds from the notes payable in the amount of $0 was recognized as loss on derivative liability for the year ended
September 30, 2021.
Estimated fair value of the derivative value for the
conversion options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the note’s payable was $9,954,729 and $0at September 30, 2022
and September 30, 2021, respectively. For the year ended September 30, 2022, the loss on derivative liability was $10,129,235 and for

accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered
holder or by his/her attorneys duly authorized in writing. All certificates evidencing Series A Preferred Stock which are required to

of such vote; divided by (ii) the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the time of such vote,
at each meeting of shareholders of the Corporation with respect to any and all matters presented to the shareholders of the Corporation
for their action or consideration, including the election of directors. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the
holders of Common Shares (and any other outstanding class of preferred stock of the Corporation (other than the Series A Preferred Stock),

other than an Affiliate of the transferring shareholders (a “Purchaser”), shares of Series A Preferred Stock representing
conversion rights equal to more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated on a fully diluted

transfer or accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank, and the Purchaser shall pay to each such shareholder the consideration
due to it in accordance with the terms of such transaction, and this designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such transaction
may be structured as a merger, consolidation, amalgamation or similar transaction at the discretion of the Proposing Stockholders and
the Purchaser and, in such event, each shareholder subject to the Drag Along Right agrees, if such transaction entitles shareholders to
vote thereupon or consent thereto, (x) to vote all of the shares of (and shares of Series A Preferred Stock) held by such shareholder

1. SUMMARY
This report was requested
by China Dongsheng International Inc.’s Chairman Harpreet Sangha to address the regulatory requirement, provide an exploration program
and assist in financing.
The Properties are
located in Northern Tanzania approximately 25 to 30 kilometers West of the town of Same (Titan 1) and approximately 20 kilometres to the
Northeast of Landanai (Titan 2) and comprises of two Prospecting Licenses: PL22468/2022 (Titan 1) and PL 23071/2023 (Titan 2) of approximately
298 km2 and 53 km2 respectively, and are owned and held in the name of Kilimanjaro Lithium Inc. On February 27,
2023, Titan entered in an Option Agreement with Kilimanjaro Lithium Inc.
Topography in the
area is moderate with flat basins represented by dry lake flats. The area of the Properties is a hot equatorial climate. Tanzania has
recently become a major mining area of Africa since the late 20th century. There is no known exploration or history of the
area for lithium.
The geology of
the surrounding mountains is mainly metasedimentary rocks of the eastern part of the
Usagaran Belt which
was mobilized by the Neoproterozoic Pan African Orogeny forming the Mozambique Belt. To the north is the recent volcanic activity of the
Mount Kilimanjaro area associates with the eastern arm of the East African Rift system.
Both Properties are singularly
basins that have been local “traps” and the playa sediments host the erosion debris from the surrounding areas. The Properties
are entirely covered by alluvium with no outcrops.
Lithium mineralization
with values consistently above 3000 ppm has been identified on the both Properties. The Titan 1 valley, 40kms long and 15 km wide had
94 soil samples taken, while the Titan 2 valley, 6km long and 4 km wide had 22 samples taken; 22 (from Titan 1) and 4 (from Titan 2) have
lithium values in excess of 0.30%, (and an additional 3 (Titan 2) and 17 (Titan 1) had values in excess of 0.10% Li) with the highs value
at Titan 1 of 2.24% lithium and 0.92% lithium at Titan 2.
Lithium is known
to occur in potentially economic concentrations in three types of deposits: pegmatites, continental brines, and clays. Lithium clays,
are associated with weathered volcanic deposits, which is the environment of these properties.
Exploration done
by Titan, consists of sampling the dry lake areas, two felsic volcanic rock samples taken “uphill” returned 1.76 % Lithium
and 0.07% lithium. A Geochem soil sampling Exploration program was undertaken on 1 km sample spacing, North- south lines, approximately
1-2 km apart to cover the both dry lakes. Both dry lakes showed anomalous lithium values in the dry lake sediments.
Samples were collected
by personnel under the supervision of a qualified geologist. To date, work completed on the Properties has identified that lithium values
are in the sediments in these dry lakes that was not previously revealed. The property fits all the criteria for the formation of an economic
lithium prospect which needs to be further investigated.
A Phase I program
of $170,000 is recommended with a dependent Phase II program of $1,140,000 for deeper drilling and downhole follow up, for a total of
$1,310,000 exploration expenditure to evaluate the property’s potential. An additional budget to establish operations in Tanzania
of $400,000 is recommended.
2. INTRODUCTION
This report was
requested by China Dongsheng International Inc. Chairman Harpreet Sangha to address the regulatory requirement of Titan, provide an exploration
program and assist in financing of the proposed exploration and development programs at the Properties.
This “technical
report” is based on area exploration, and technical information published by the United Republic of Tanzania and by the results
of the initial exploration program completed by principal, Lawrence Stephenson, of Kilimanjaro Lithium, the optionee of the Properties
(Titan 1 and Titan 2). The author has acquired data from sources that he believes in his professional opinion to be reliable with respect
to the geology and location of mineralization. In preparing this report the author relied on his observations in the field, and knowledge
of Tanzania and its geology, information and other relevant reports, papers and data in the public domain. The author also reviewed the
option agreement between Kilimanjaro Lithium and Titan. All documents relied upon in the preparation of this report are listed in Section
27 hereof.
The author visited
the Properties on February 6th and 7th, 2023. The investigations conducted on the Properties consisted of approximately 4-6
hours on each property as well as hours checking the local geology and its surrounding areas.

right owners. There are no known environmental liabilities to which the Properties are subject.
All exploration
is permitted by the PL Grant up to and including Bulk Testing. A Mining License will require a comprehensive report and Environmental
Study. No additional permits will be required to complete the proposed exploration program.
The author is
unaware of any other material factors and risks that may affect access, title, or the right or ability to perform work on the Property.
5. ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL
RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND TOPOGRAPHY
The Titan 1 Property
is accessed from the Tanzanian Highway B1, by gravel roads to the north end and middle of the property. The PL claims are approximately
25 and 30 kilometers, respectively, southwest and east, respectively from Same and Mayanra (Figure 1). The author had no difficulty accessing
the area of the Property with a 4-wheel drive truck.
The Titan 2
Property is accessed from the town of Landanai which is on the recently upgraded Meremani – Simanjiro gravel highway, by
approximately 20 kilometres of bush roads to the Northeast of the town (Figure 1). The author had no difficulty accessing the area
of the Property with a 4-wheel drive truck.
Topography in
the area is generally moderate with flat basins represented by dry lake flats at approximately 625 metres (Titan 1) and 940 meters (Titan
2,) elevation, rising to over 2000 metres east of the projects (South Pare Mountains) to over 1500 metres to the west (the “Landanai”
Mountains). The Titan 2 project is approximately 50 kilometres northwest of Titan 1 and the intermediate area rises to over 1000 metres
elevation. The land is an open scrub equatorial desert and a flat-bottomed dry lake basin dominates the Titan 1 area which contains sparse
vegetation in areas, while the Titan 2 area is dominated by a “recent” dry lake. Most of the Titan 1 property is a dry lake
with little vegetation containing areas of intermittent “streams” during the sporadic rainy season (Figure 2) while the Titan
2 property is a dry lake without any vegetation (Figure 3).
The climate of
area of the Properties is a within an equatorial region of hot weather, with average high temperatures around 20-35° C. Precipitation
in this area is low, generally less than 10 mm per year.
In Tanzania, mining
is a major part of the economy and mining and exploration personnel are available.
The area of the Property
is sufficient in terms of area and topographic relief for a processing plant site. The area lies adjacent to a major highway, power lines,
and regional towns that service the mining industry. Year-round exploration is possible.

6. HISTORY
Tanzania has recently
become a major mining area of Africa since the late 20th century. It has become one of the major gold producers of Africa with
major operations by Anglo Ashanti and Barrick. Tanzania has active Lithium exploration, which is mainly concentrated on Lithium bearing
pegmatites located in the Dodoma region of central eastern Tanzania. With the expansion of the lithium market in recent years, there has
been an increase of interest in assessing the lithium potential of any potentially viable source of the mineral.
There is no known
exploration or history of the area of the property for lithium exploration or exploitation. There are no known previous ownership of the
property.
Mineral exploration
within the general area has been focused on precious gems (tanzanite) and industrial minerals in the surrounding areas. Tanzanite is mined
to the north west (50 km) and Gypsum is mined from the sedimentary horizons to the east of Titan 1 (approximately 10 km east).
7. GEOLOGICAL
SETTING AND MINERALIZATION
7.1 Regional Geology of the Area
The geology of
the surrounding mountains is mainly metasedimentary rocks of the eastern part of the Usagaran Belt which was mobilized by the
Neoproterozoic Pan African Orogeny forming the Mozambique Belt. To the north is the recent volcanic activity of the Mount
Kilimanjaro area associates with the eastern arm of the East African Rift system.
The Pangani Rift,
which is part of the large East African Rift system, extends south from Mount Kilimanjaro through the Island of Zanzibar into the Indian
Ocean along the east coast of southern Africa. The Titan 1 property is located within this rift zone (Figure 4)
Figure 4
Volcanism associated
with Mount Kilimanjaro is recent, mainly occurring within the last 3 million years. These intercontinental volcanoes are often peralkaline
in nature which has been connected to the generation of and concentration of Lithium resources. Active volcanism occurs in the region,
with the last eruption associated with Kilimanjaro occurring approximately 350,000 years ago and Oldoinyo Lengai, located 200 km to the
Northwest, is presently an active volcano with the last eruption in 2019. Volcanism of Oldoinyo Lengai is associated with natrocarbonatites
and silicate lavas and associated ash falls. These natrocarbonatites are associated with high Lithium Content (up to 294 ppm) and with
the Lithium mica – taeniolite.
The Pangani Rift
would have been an excellent catchment area for the region’s volcanic ash and flows and the one of the main drainage conduits in
the Mount Kilimanjaro region.
The area around
Titan 2 is at a higher elevation and closer to the forementioned volcanism. Although not on any fully recognized rift system, the Titan
2 area would have been an important internal drainage area for all the ash fall from the regional volcanism.
7.2 Local Property Geology
Both Properties are singularly
basins that have been local “traps” for all the erosion debris from the surrounding areas.
Titan 1 covers
a main flat playa basin within the Northwest-Southeast striking Pangani Rift which presently has drainage which flows to the Indian Ocean
from the Mount Kilimanjario region. In the past drainage was more likely restricted to the south by mountains. Titan 2 has no out drainage
so it likely has always been an internal drainage basin.
Until the recent
sampling efforts completed by Lawrence Stephenson discovered lithium in the regional there has been no reported lithium in the deposited
volcano-sedimentary units derived from the adjacent tertiary volcanics of the East African Rift volcanism with Tanzania.
There are no outcrops
located in the basin or on the Property. The playa sediments conform to the expected sediments that are the weathered detritus of the
region. The Properties are entirely covered by alluvium related to the adjacent hills and drainages. The main playa areas are flat and
consist of fine silt size sediments. Some boulders are present around the edge of the playa reflect the geology of the surrounding mountains.
There is no other
information on these basins, however, both conform to a dry restrictive basin model that would be conducive to the development of brines
and sediments that could contain lithium.
7.3 Mineralization
Lithium mineralization
has been identified on the both Properties in the dry lake sediments and a siliceous volcanic rock “float” located up drainage
from Titan 1 assayed 1.72% lithium.
Analysis of the
dry lake sediments has been indicated values consistently above 2,000 ppm in contiguous 1,000 metre separated samples with the high value
at Titan 1 being 2.24% lithium (22,400 ppm) and 0.92% lithium (9,200 ppm) at Titan 2.
The Titan 1 valley
that is 40kms long and 15 km wide and of the 74 soil samples taken only from the only 10 have had no detectable lithium; 12 samples have
had 0.01% to 0.09% lithium; 17 samples have had between 0.10% to 0.30% Lithium and 22 have had lithium values in excess of 0.30% lithium
(including 8 samples above 0.70% lithium) [the remaining 14 samples are pending as of this report].
At Titan 2, the
valley is 6km long and 4 km wide and of the 22 samples taken; 3 samples had no detectable Lithium; 2 sample(s) had 0.01% to 0.09% lithium;
3 sample(s) had between 0.10% to 0.30% Lithium and 4 had lithium values in excess of 0.30% lithium. [the remaining 10 samples are pending
as of this report].
8. DEPOSIT
TYPES
Lithium is known
to occur in potentially economic concentrations in three types of deposits: pegmatites, continental brines, and clays. Currently and on
a global scale, the continental brines are the most important of these resources (Gruber et al., 2012). Lithium pegmatites are coarse-grained
igneous rocks that concentrate lithium at a late stage in cooling alkaline magmas. They range from simple to complex in terms of mineralogy,
structure and provenance. The primary mined lithium mineral is spodumene because of its high Li content and abundance in Li-pegmatites.
The most prominent examples are the simple spodumene pegmatites near Kings Mountain, North Carolina, US (inactive) and complex spodumene
pegmatites at Bernic Lake, Manitoba, (inactive) Canada and Greenbushes, Australia. Other minable pegmatite-sourced Li-minerals include
petalite, amblygonite and lepidolite.
Lithium clays,
primarily hectorite and polylithionate, are associated with weathered volcanic deposits such as Western Lithium Corporation’s Kings
Valley deposit in northwest Nevada, US, American Lithium’s Thacker Pass deposit and Bacanora Minerals’ La Ventana deposit
in Sonora, Mexico. Lithium extraction from clays typically requires a leaching process and recoveries and >90% recovery has been reported
from the TLC Lithium-in-Clay deposit near Tonopah Nevada.
Continental brines
are the primary source of lithium products worldwide. Bradley, et al. (2013) noted that “all producing lithium brine deposits share
a number of first-order characteristics: (1) arid climate; (2) closed basin containing a playa or salar; (3) tectonically driven subsidence;
(4) associated igneous or geothermal activity; (5) suitable lithium source-rocks; (6) one or more adequate aquifers; and (7) sufficient
time to concentrate a brine (Figure 5)” The Li atom does not readily form evaporite minerals, remains in solution and concentrates
to high levels, reaching 4,000 ppm at Salar de Atacama, Chile (Bradley et al. 2013). Large deposits are mined in the Salar de Atacama,
Chile (SQM and Albemarle), Salar de Hombre Muerto, Argentina (FMC) and Clayton Valley, Nevada (Albemarle), the only North American producer.
9. EXPLORATION
Exploration done
by Titan, to date, on the Properties, consists of sampling the dry lake areas, reviewing the various geological reports and maps of the
surrounding area and region. The Company is currently in the process of acquiring geophysical data associated with a petroleum investigation
of the Pangani Rift to analyse it with respect to the Property. The Company has reviewed the magnetic data for the areas of the dry lakes.
9.1 Geochemical Sampling and Survey
On a regional trip
in late 2022, Mr. Stephenson collected two rock samples taken “uphill” from the Titan 1 PL. They were identified visible and
chemically as being felsic volcanic and returned 1.76 % Lithium and 0.07% lithium. Subsequently, a defined exploration trip was undertaken
in which 5 soil samples were taken in the dry lake bed and adjacent area; 3 samples assayed 0.16% 0.11% and 0.05% lithium while the adjacent
samples, one located on the upslope of the drainage into the Playa and one located at a local magnesite pit assayed 0.20% and nil respectively.
With these encouraging,
Stephenson then initiated a local widely spaced Geochem soil sampling program on two - 1 kilometre sample spacing (GPS locating) North-
south lines, approximately 2 km apart of the whole “playa” contained in the PL (PL22468/2022). A total of 20 samples taken
from the area of that PL and three samples (out of 5 samples taken) from an adjacent (50 km northwest) “playa” (Titan 2) were
analyzed by African Mineral and Geoscience Centre’s Laboratories (Seamic) in Dar es Salaam.
An additional
Grid Geochem sampling of the Playa was initiate by Titan over the two PLs and over 71 samples were taken to cover the both dry lakes.
Samples were taken at a minimum of 10 cm depth, visual observations were recorded and the samples were placed in a cloth soil sample bag,
marked and the position recorded on GPS coordinates. Samples were then sealed in cloth bags (plastic bags are banned in Tanzania) and
transported to Seamic for analysis. Sample results for Lithium are plotted on Figure 6 (Titan 1) and Figure 7 (Titan 2).
In general, any
value over 50 ppm lithium (0.005% Li) could be considered anomalous. A 100-ppm (0.01% Li) cut off was used define the results and a 1000
ppm (0.10% Li) and 3000 ppm (0.30% LI) threshold was established to define the higher anomalies. Both dry lakes showed anomalous lithium
values in the dry lake sediments. The consistent association of lithium values with the flat lowest part of the playa confirms that the
sediments and any potential brines are carrying lithium.
The Geochem survey
confirms the presence of widespread lithium within the basin.
10. DRILLING
No drilling has
been completed to date on the Property.
11. SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES AND
SECURITY
Samples were collected
by personnel under the direct on-site supervision of a experienced geologist (Mr. Stephenson has a B.Sc in geology, and is a retired P.Eng).The
samples were removed from the dry lakes in a systematic and grid pattern located by GPS co-ordinates below any organic horizons (A horizon)
from a depth of 15 -25 cm (B Horizon). The samples were then placed in cloth soil sample bag and transported to the Seamic Laboratory
(an ISO 9001 SGS Approved laboratory) in Dar es Salaam. A sample tag was included in the bag identifying the sample number, the bag was
numbered and that number was recorded with the GPS station.
The soil samples
were first dried at 60C until completely dry, sieved to -80 mesh and then submitted to an Aqua Regia digestion. After preparation the
sample completed an XRF analysis for multiple elements including lithium oxide and lithium.
All sampling was
conducted and transported to the lab under the supervision of Mr. Stephenson.
12. DATA VERIFICATION
All data for the
Property, for the geological mapping, soil geochem and sampling has been completed and supervised by qualified geologists and technicians.
Analytical results
were provided by an independent and ISO 9001 Certified laboratory.
As this is the
initial work on the property, it is expected that the recommended exploration program will expand the data base for the region.
13. MINERAL PROCESSING
AND METALLURGICAL TESTING
No metallurgical
testing has been completed.
14. MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES
No mineral resource
estimate has been made for the potential playa described in this report.
Items 15 to 22 are not
applicable to this report.
23. ADJACENT PROPERTIES
No adjacent properties
are cited in the report.
24. OTHER RELEVANT DATA AND INFORMATION
There is no other
relevant data or information.
25. INTERPRETATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
To date, work completed
on the Properties has identified that lithium values are in the sediments as found in the geochemical soil sampling survey, reported above.
The large extent of potential lithium source rocks, from the volcanism associated with the East Africa Rift, makes the playa covered in
this Property attractive lithium prospect.
The exploration
to date has discovery the presence of lithium in these dry lakes that was not previously revealed. The values of the lithium soils recovered
to date is some of the highest seen by this author in the literature and his experience has confirmed the potential of containing lithium
in appreciable quantities.
The property fits
all the criteria for the formation of an economic lithium prospect which needs to be further investigated. The author concludes that the
Property, the subject of this report, merits further exploration.
26. RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended
that the potential of the area of the Properties be delineated by deeper geochemical sampling, geophysics and auger drilling. A Phase
I program of $170,000 is recommended with a dependent Phase II program of $1,140,000 for deeper drilling and downhole follow up, for a
total of $1,310,000 exploration expenditure to evaluate the property’s potential. An additional budget to establish operations in
Tanzania of $400,000. Given the results to date Phase II is proposed to follow immediately on completion of Phase I.
