Following our initial report on LXRP yesterday, the stock had a productive session as it traded in a range from .095 to a high of .108, an intraday gain of 14% on roughly 2.5X the monthly average volume. It closed at .102 holding more than half of the day’s gains, which is generally a good sign.
We promised to relay any further updates regarding the current status of LXRP, and sure enough the company published a fresh PR this morning containing another major development. It relates to the sale of Lexaria’s domestic oil assets, which we mentioned in yesterday’s report, becoming final with all funds received. It provides LXRP with a cash infusion of $1.4M which will facilitate a clearing of all debt currently on the books, as well as advance the company’s plans to release a CBD-infused tea (infusion method is patent pending) via a new online sales portal. With the rate at which LXRP has been executing its strategies, we expect to hear about the opening of that website any day now.
KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2014 / Lexaria Corp. (LXRP) (CSE:LXX) (the “Company” or “Lexaria”) is pleased to announce the sale of all its Belmont Lake oil assets for $1.4 million in cash has closed and all money received.
