Tempe, AZ April 13, 2017 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Lithium Exploration Group Inc. (USOTC: LEXG) today announced that it has reached an agreement with a Houston-based oil and gas team to assist in funding the acquisition of a legacy oil and gas field in southwest Louisiana. The investment will be initiated today with a down payment and will be completed over the next three weeks. It is structured as a debt instrument that will be converted into a royalty stream once the acquisition is finalized. The 4,000-acre oil field has over 100 years of activity on it and has generated over 32,000,000 barrels of oil in its lifetime. 90% of the historical production occurred before 1990, and it has not been exploited with any form of modern 3D seismic analysis. It is believed that the field could have more than 10,000,000 barrels of easily accessed oil remaining once modern techniques are used to identify and extract the oil.

This same team of oil and gas veterans owns the field where we have been discussing placing our initial field prototype. They have been instrumental in assisting us in procuring oil for the SonCav oil unit testing and will be extremely valuable partners, not only in the installation of an oil unit at this field, but also in opening avenues to other potential users in the oil and gas industry, commented CEO Alex Walsh. I have known about this opportunity for several months, but until very recently did not think we would be in a position to participate in the ownership. This is truly an amazing opportunity to participate in an exciting project with a team with 300 years of combined experience in onshore gulf coast oil and gas production. I will provide more details next week about the strategy and structure of the investment via press releases and 8k filings.
