LITHIUM EXPLORATION GROUP ANNOUNCES LABORATORY RESULTS FROM INITIAL TESTING

Phoenix, AZ - August 31, 2016 - InvestorsHub NewsWire - Lithium Exploration Group Inc. (OTCPINK: LEXG) announced today that it has received the initial testing results from the laboratory. The results showed a 10% increase in the API of the oil and reduction of BSW content to below 1% for the sample from the middle of the testing vessel. The lightest oil in the top of the testing vessel had a 50% increase in the API with zero BSW. These results came from the initial testing program on August 17 and 18. The facility in Houston is adding a circulation system and tankage so that the testing program can run for an extended period of time with more volume. The next testing will not take place until after the Labor Day holiday when all of the modifications are complete.

We are extremely encouraged by our initial data. We are reviewing that data with our partners at SonCav and will prepare for extended testing after the holiday, commented CEO Alex Walsh. We are taking it one step at a time and wanted to ensure that everything worked as we intended it to before engaging in a much longer testing program. We will be providing continued updates as they become available but will not be sharing any more specific data until a later date when we have more inputs and have 3rd party verification of the results.
