First Colombia Gold Provides Update on Letter of Intent to Acquire Oil and Gas Assets
June 30 2014 - 9:45AM
Business Wire
First Colombia Gold (OTCQB: FCGD) (“First Colombia” or “The
Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its due diligence in
relation to the signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire a
nineteen and a half percent (19.5%) interest in three private oil
companies located in south central Kentucky.
As previously announced, the signed LOI outlines the structure
of the transaction, which will give First Colombia a working
interest in over 50 active producing wells, ownership in 39 active
oil and gas leases covering 5,322 acres, as well as full title and
ownership to six acres of real estate, which includes a 6800 sq.
ft. office complex and maintenance facility. The LOI also includes
drilling and operating equipment, including two drilling rigs and
six completion rigs.
Over the past month, the company has been conducting a thorough
evaluation of all of the properties which have included site
visits, personnel interviews, document review and a physical
inspection of titles, deeds and assets. Based upon our thorough
analysis, we can now confirm that there are an additional 105 acres
of land that will be included in the acquisition in which The
Company will own outright in addition to also owning the mineral
rights. Additionally, there are 5 of the 39 leases that already
have reserve studies completed on the properties that show over 3
million barrels of proven oil reserves on the properties. Perhaps
the most exciting confirmation, however, is that these leases being
acquired produced over 12,000 barrels of crude in 2013 and are on
track to match that production output in 2014. That means that
these leases generated over one million dollars of revenue in
2013.
“Based upon these findings and developments, we are now engaged
in finalizing the final contract and both parties desire to close
quickly. We have set a preliminary goal to close before the end of
July,” First Colombia Gold CEO, E. Robert Gates, stated. “We are
very pleased with our due diligence findings and are eager to
complete this acquisition. We have very strict criteria when
considering possible acquisitions, which includes a stringent
requirement for short term asset appreciation and a positive cash
flow growth. We are assembling a dynamic management team that can
make significant contributions to the overall productivity of these
companies. We fully expect First Colombia should be booking revenue
and income from this potential acquisition in our third
quarter.”
This acquisition along with the installation of the new energy
division of FCGD, has not overshadowed the progress occurring
within the mining division of the company. We are currently
proceeding with exploration at the Nile Mine project and on its
forty acre Skip unpatented mining claims. The company is also
considering various financial alternatives both to fund the planned
acquisition, and improve its working capital position. Gates was
very clear about his intention to continue to develop the mining
projects, “Our energy division is certainly coming out of the gates
with a great deal of activity and momentum, but we will not and
never intended to neglect the development of our mining projects.
Our newly appointed management team is very hard at work in
developing those projects and putting the capital in place to
advance our mining division.”
