Lithium Exploration Group Expanding into Oil Sector

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithium Exploration Group (OTCBB: LEXG) (OTCQB: LEXG) announces the development of a new oil refining technology.  In late 2012, a team from Lithium Exploration Group (LEXG) and the inventor of the technology, GD Glottech International Ltd., the company from whom LEXG has secured its licensing rights for ultrasonic cavitation water treatment units, began discussing an oil refining technology to refine Canadian crude oil.  The development of this technology unit will run parallel to the water treatment unit being tested in Pennsylvania but will target a completely different market of customers.  This new Technology has already been run and tested in Russia using Russian Urals heavy crude oil and this will be a first application addressing tar sands bitumen. The project development will begin immediately.

"The ability to refine crude oil and tar sands bitumen in Canada at a competitive cost and in an environmentally conscious way into distillates such as Kerosene, Benzene, and Diesel is a huge market opportunity in Western Canada.  Lighter crude products sell at a twenty dollar premium per barrel to heavy crude and through utilizing this technology smaller operators will be able to significantly increase their revenue from the same production.  The development of this additional application of the ultrasonic cavitation technology significantly enhances our revenue opportunity in Canada and further diversifies all of our activities," commented CEO Alex Walsh.

It is expected that the parallel projects, perfectly aligned, will begin to show profits as early as Q3 2013.  LEXG expects that it will actually be conducting R&D on its own oil production in the near future pending the acquisition of assets in Canada, part of an aggressive overhaul of its business activities and strategy.
