Ray Dirks Research Upgrades Lithium Exploration Group (LEXG) rating to BUY with price target $.35 short-term and long-term $.85-$1.70

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithium Exploration Group (OTCQB: LEXG) announced today that Ray Dirks Research has released a  Follow-Up Article and buy rating with two price targets following the Company's February 5^th  news release. Here is the full report from RDR:

Ray Dirks and his Team of Money Managers and Security Analysts think that Lithium Exploration Group common stock will probably move up within the Next Month to about $0.35 cents per share – approximately double the current price, due to the fact that LEXG's management team will soon be successful in proving that its patented ultrasonic technology works in a way that will bring revenues to Lithium Exploration Group from licensing the product for recovery of oil and gas in addition to recovery of metals on a worldwide basis. The Company has identified several JV candidates in the Oil and Gas Industry to partner with in an effort to offset the cost of developing Ultra Sonic Generators for refining crude oil and tar sands bitumen in Canada. Over the next 6 to 12 Months, Ray Dirks Research thinks the stock will advance by 5 to 10 times to between $0.85 and $1.70, as we discussed in our Initial Report dated January 31^st, 2013, which Readers and Investors should refer to on these internationally-followed Web Sites – www.CorporateProfile.com and www.CPreports.com.

In addition to Tuesday's very positive announcement, which we will summarize at the end of this Follow-Up Report, management has taken steps to bring the number of common shares outstanding down to only 38.5 Million, fully diluted. In our Initial Article on LEXG we had indicated that we thought there were 70 Million shares outstanding, which, as it developed, was too high. Accordingly, the upside potential for Lithium Exploration Group is greater than we indicated in our earlier Article.

Here is a Summary of the latest Announcement on LEXG, which was released on Tuesday morning, February 5^th – "Lithium Exploration Technology (LEXG) announces the development of a new oil recovery technology. In late 2012, a team from Lithium Exploration Group (LEXG) and the inventor of the technology, GD Glottech International, Ltd., the company from whom LEXG has secured its licensing rights for ultrasonic cavitation water units, began discussing an oil refining technology to refine Canadian crude oil. The development of this technology unit will run parallel to the water treatment unit being tested in Pennsylvania but will target a completely different market of customers. This new Technology has already been tested in Russia using Russian Urals heavy crude oil and this will be a first application addressing tar sands bitumen. The project development will begin immediately. The ability to refine crude oil and tar sands bitumen in Canada at a competitive cost and in an environmentally conscious way into distillates such as Kerosene, Benzene and Diesel is a huge opportunity in Western Canada. Lighter crude products sell at a twenty dollar premium to heavy crude and through utilizing this technology smaller operators will be able to significantly increase their revenue from the same production. The development of this additional application of the ultrasonic cavitation technology significantly enhances our revenue opportunity in Canada and further diversifies all of our activities," commented CEO Alex Walsh.
