Lithium Exploration Group Executes LOI to Purchase Golden Spike Energy

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz, May 2, 2013

"Since taking the helm at LEXG more than two years ago, it has been my greatest desire to give shareholders the value that they expect and deserve and, by acquiring cash-flowing assets to fund operations, we will be able to do just that," said CEO Alex Walsh. "We are excited about this opportunity and believe it will give us a platform from which to make future acquisitions of small oil and gas assets.  Many of our future plans in Alberta are centered on the oil and gas industry, acquiring cash flow and assets where we can perform future work on our lithium exploration efforts is akin to hitting two birds with one stone."
