Lexington Gold (AIM: LEX), a gold

and the USA, is pleased to announce that the Company and its
BBBEE partner, Letsema Holdings

of scale, with the aim of ultimately establishing and developing a
world-class gold deposit in the region. Should discussions progress
positively, areas identified for cooperation will be formalised by
way of a definitive agreement(s) in due course.
Ed
Nealon, Chairman of Lexington Gold,
commented:
"This Agreement represents a potentially significant step
forward in progressing our South African gold assets. Gold One
Africa, with its proven track record and expertise in advancing
projects from exploration to production, as exemplified by its
success at the Modder East gold mine, is an ideal
partner.
"We believe this planned collaboration has the potential to
unlock considerable value for all concerned, leveraging our
combined strengths to seek to create a world-class gold resource in
the Ventersburg region. We look forward to continuing our
discussions and exploring the opportunities for mutual benefit and
will provide updates as appropriate in due
