The government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador seeks to define areas likely to contain lithium in sufficient quality and quantity to be considered economically viable in Sonora, Chihuahua, Nayarit, Puebla, Jalisco and Durango.
“The geological-structural-sedimentological contexts of 20 localities with the possibility of containing lithium deposits in the national territory will be investigated, with the support of geological cartography, previous works, interpretation of satellite images, sampling results, section surveying and stratigraphic correlation. ” , says the project.
In Sonora they will be the municipalities of Santa Ana, Carbó, Ures, La Colorada, Guaymas, Tepache, Nogales, Agua Prieta, Villa Hidalgo, Huachinera, Sahuaripa, Yécora and Nacori Chico; in Chihuahua, the municipality of Balleza; in Durango, Mezquital; in Nayarit, Del Nayarit; in Puebla, Huatlatlauca; in Jalisco, Teocaltiche and Jalostotitlán.
The identification of two semi-detail exploration and exploration targets is also sought.
And a budget of $2.2m won't go far, so is it reasonable to believe A_L.O is behaving as if Ganfeng doesn't exist ignoring all the legalities by claiming to be surveying the entire area, or are the concessions safe and the surveys are localised to each specific location?
There's municipalities within the concession area that are not mentioned hence appears to be just ring fenced, make up your own mind!

Still nothing from Ganfeng!
