SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithium Exploration Group (OTCQB: LEXG) announced today that it is commencing final stages of evaluating Oil & Gas partners in Western Canada.  As previously announced in February, LEXG hired a consulting firm to prospect potential JV or acquisition partners in Canada and the team have presented several transactions currently under review and in the due diligence process.

"Not only have we made great strides in Canada, we have been actively bringing all the business plan verticals together," commented CEO Alex Walsh.
