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 developments."
