PHOENIX, Nov. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lithium Exploration Group (USOTC:LEXG) announced today that their partners at White Top Oil and Gas are in the final stages of closing on a $15 million investment to fund the development drilling and acquisition of the field. The investment group has been working with White Top management for the past couple of months, and the recent spike in oil prices led to expediting the closing process so that they didn't lose the deal to other investors. The final documentation is in process now and is expected to close in early December.
"There has been a tremendous amount of interest from investor groups in this project, but it is not a 'traditional' oil deal or a traditional oil market. That is why I am so excited about it -- but that is also why it has taken so long to get to this stage," commented Alex Walsh. "There is no doubt that the recent bounce in prices sped up the process with this group and with others. All of the potential investors have been given notice that the first one to sign docs and get money in the door wins out, but I am confident White Top will have a deal done with this group before the end of the year and will be off to the races in 2018. It has to be mentioned that, because of our sizeable investment in this project already, our participation in the deal is fixed in place and we are not required to invest any more dollars."
