PHOENIX, July 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE – Lithium Exploration Group (USOTC:LEXG) announces that preparation and permitting has been initiated at its oil project in SW Louisiana.  The actual closing has been extended while this process takes place, but it is expected that the pad being prepared will host the drilling of the first three target locations.  The locations have been prepared by a joint team of internal and external geophysicists.  The team has identified these locations in a specific fault block, using the processed seismic data collected last year in comparison with historical production from the field, and determined that these locations will be the most productive. They have put a projection of 800K to 1.4M barrels of oil from this fault block, which can be concurrently extracted by drilling three wells at different depths.  

“We are not receiving our override checks yet but the preparation and drilling of these development wells is critical for the increase of production and thus revenue that we are planning for,” commented CEO Alex Walsh.  “It doesn’t do us any good to have the revenue coming in if they aren’t going to drill wells; so we are extremely excited that they are starting the pad preparation and permitting process now.  This initial fault block could be absolutely huge for our partners and, consequently, for us.”
