SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Lithium Exploration Group (OTCBB: LEXG) (OTCQB: LEXG) announced today that they are in discussion with an Energy consulting group in Canada to assist in the development of the oil asset roll-up strategy previously announced. It is expected that the team will assist in identifying immediate acquisition targets from their vast client base, as well as bring the required capital to fund said acquisitions.

In early February, the Company announced that it is in development of a new technology to refine Canadian crude oil and as a consequence of this announcement the new interest that was created recently brought forth an LOI between the consultants and LEXG.

“We were thrilled with the response to our announcement that we have entered the Oil & Gas R&D sector with the development of the crude refining technology and especially pleased with the quick and efficient response by the Consultants. The agreement we are working on will be performance based allowing us to preserve our capital while we bring in new partners,” CEO Alex Walsh said. “We anticipate that this new association will bring us closer to achieving the pinnacle for all juniors, revenue.”
