Lithium Exploration Group Meets with Resource Management Firm about Oil and Gas Assets in Alberta

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithium Exploration Group (OTCBB - LEXG) CEO Alex Walsh met in Scottsdale last week with executives from a resource management firm from Calgary, to discuss the potential acquisition of assets around the Valleyview Project.  Lithium Exploration Group's goal is to obtain oil and gas production revenue along with a facility on which to build a pilot plant for mineral processing to advance the Valleyview Project.  

"We had a great day of meetings discussing the region and some of the potential acquisition targets.  Our Valleyview Project is so closely tied to the production of oil and gas from the deep brines in the region that it makes sense for us to own a small asset where we can build a facility to process the minerals and participate in the revenue from the hydrocarbon production.  A number of small assets are being divested by large operators either because of the need to raise capital or the need to scale back on staff in the region.  Our ability to produce revenue while we are still in the exploration phase will be a great catalyst for shareholder value. We will be less dependent on raising capital to advance our projects," commented CEO Alex Walsh.  "Similarly, we invested in an exploration well near the Valleyview Project which has been completed and is currently being tested for flow rates.  Depending on the results of these tests, we could possibly begin receiving revenue as soon as March 2012. Our share in the value of that well could be as much as $6,400,000 based on our partner's projections.  For our investment, we are able to have our geological team review the well logs and core samples, and water samples from the initial production have been sent to the laboratory for analysis.  It is this same type of benefit that we are looking to gain by acquiring a producing asset and facility to expand our efforts at the Valleyview Project and benefit our shareholders."
