Ed
Nealon, Lexington's Chairman commented: "With the gold price now
exceeding $2,700/oz, Lexington Gold is well-positioned with its
gold assets in both South Africa and the USA. The rising gold
price, coupled with a favourable long-term outlook, significantly
enhances the economic prospects of our projects. We are also
encouraged by the growing interest in our gold assets from
multinational gold mining companies. We will keep shareholders
updated on the progress made by Shango regarding the JORC (2012)
Exploration Target for the Bothaville Project and other
