First Colombia Gold Provides Update on Letter of Intent to Acquire Oil and Gas Assets

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.”
