First Colombia Announces Plans To Acquire Oil And Gas Assets
June 12 2014 - 10:00AM
Business Wire
First Colombia Gold (OTCQB: FCGD) is pleased to announce
plans to acquire oil and gas assets as part of its expansion. The
goal of management is to become a Natural Resource company focused
on building shareholder value in Energy, Mining and Land
opportunities.
The recent appointment of Dr. Robert Gates as CEO and Director
of First Colombia brings over forty years of experience in mergers,
acquisitions, and the energy sectors. Mr. Gates was previously
retained by the company as a consultant to advise the board on long
term strategic development, building on the company’s work the past
years which resulted in a recommendation to the Board of Directors
to transform the company into a Natural Resource company. We plan
to announce our initial acquisition of oil and gas assets sometime
in the third quarter.
President and CEO, Robert Gates, commented, “Our current plans
call for First Colombia to acquire a pipeline of oil and gas
projects, which we believe have solid potential for building
shareholder value. Since concluding our recent business evaluation
and receiving Board of Directors approval we plan to hit the ground
running to meet 2014 objectives.”
Energy Division
Our business strategy is to acquire energy interests via a
“roll-up” strategy targeting potential and producing wells and
distribution that can be improved utilizing modern technology and
capital infusion for expanding or re-initiating production. This
initiative represents a key near and medium term strategic
objective for the company.
First Colombia has been conducting due diligence in the
alternative energy sector in Southeastern Europe which is promising
due to approaching grid parity, EEC mandates for alternative energy
usage combined with government direct revenue support programs.
Our key 2014 objectives include:
- The acquisition of one to three US oil
and gas projects or businesses in 2014, with a key objective of
initiating cash flow in the near term.
- Completing the evaluation of European
alternative energy projects by the fall of 2014, with a decision on
an initial project made by that time.
Mining Division
First Colombia has retained an experienced VP of Mining to
evaluate current and future planned activities for our mining
activities in light of our revised business strategy. Our current
focus is on precious metal exploration and acquisition in Montana.
We are currently conducting due diligence on industrial mineral
opportunities with near term cash flow potential in Europe.
Management will consider strategic partnerships or spin-offs, as
well as additional acquisitions, subject to our revised criteria
for near to medium term cash flow and growth in assets.
Our key 2014 objectives include:
- Conducting initial evaluation and site
work at the Nile Mine Gold and Silver Project
- Revise mining division business model
to focus on more advanced projects
- Acquire additional mineral property
interests
International Division
First Colombia has significant international experience and has
identified projects of merit that fit within the criteria of the
company’s revised business strategy. As a Natural Resource company
First Colombia will have expanded flexibility to consider projects
that meet the criteria of developing near to medium term growing
cash flow and growth in assets. These include energy, alternative
energy, mining, and development projects.
Our key 2014 objectives include:
- Completing due diligence of government
guaranteed alternative energy projects
- Initiating, subject to favorable due
diligence, projects subject to favorable internal rates of
return.
