Lithium Exploration Group Inc. (OTCQB: LEXG) ("Lithium" or the "Company") announces today that, effective as of March 1, 2014, its wholly owned subsidiary, Alta Disposal Ltd., ("Alta") acquired 50% of the issued shares of Tero Oilfield Services Ltd. ("Tero") for a purchase price of $1,000,000 CDN. Tero is an oilfield services company located in Wardlow, Alberta. The purchase transaction includes an option for Alta to acquire an additional 25% of the issued shares of Tero for $500,000 CDN for a period of 12 months following closing of the transaction. Details of the transaction will be filed in a Form 8K in the coming days and will be found at www.sec.gov.
Tero offers full Class 1B liquid and solid oilfield waste handling. The nearest facility offering the same service is more than 75km away. The addressable market for Tero is about a 30km radius from the facility and there are over 5,000 active oil and gas wells in this natural-gas-heavy producing area. Many of the natural gas producers have additional suspended wells in the addressable market. Over the past few months, however, with gas prices consistently staying above $4.50/mcf, many of these wells are coming back into production which will greatly benefit Tero's business.
"We have been working with the owners of Tero since August 2013 and are excited to have finally completed the transaction. Our goal with this facility is to provide much needed back office support along with sales and marketing efforts, giving us an opportunity for greater revenue and profitability," commented CEO Alex Walsh. "We have a lot of irons in the fire right now and, as part of our effort to communicate effectively and efficiently with shareholders, I will be making public a monthly letter to shareholders for the foreseeable future. I expect to have one distributed by the end of this week."
