SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - Aug 15, 2013) - Lithium Exploration Group Inc. (OTCQB: LEXG) announced today that the initial testing required to reactivate its disposal well near Morinville, AB, was successful. Canadian Petroleum Engineering (CPE) sent a team to the site on Monday and Tuesday where initial testing was performed to ensure the integrity of the well bore and to measure the injectivity pressures as required by Alberta regulation for injection facilities. The initial tests resulted in pressures within acceptable ranges indicating daily injection capabilities in excess of 300 cubic meters (m3). This initial data will be submitted to the AER (Alberta Energy Regulator) and further injection tests and surface work will be performed in the coming weeks in preparation for resumption of disposal operations. Disposal fees for produced water in the area range from $6-8 per m3. If regulatory approval is granted to dispose of 300 m3 per day and proper marketing execution takes place, this initial phase of development could result in over $50,000 in monthly revenue from this facility.

"While we fully expected the results of these initial tests to be positive, it is a huge weight off our shoulders to have it completed and to have received positive results so that we can move on to next steps," commented CEO Alex Walsh. "This facility has huge potential to provide alternative disposal options to operators in the area and we are excited to move the project forward."
