ALBANY, Ky., Sept. 8, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Colombia Gold Corp. (OTCQB:FCGD) announced today that, as part of the Company's ongoing comprehensive restructuring of its acquired oil assets, the company has begun Phase 1 of its oil production plan, which includes bringing oil wells back online and into full scale production. Since completing the July acquisition, First Colombia Gold has been in an ongoing process of reviewing and streamlining operations to create a new, leaner structure that will create enhanced efficiency and reduced costs. This process includes a plan to bring all existing oil wells back online and get oil production to new heights over a twelve-month period.
"I firmly believe that we have a plan in place that will provide this company with the right structure and operations strategy to bring existing wells back online, then begin a new drilling program that will take our production numbers to new heights," stated Dr. E. Robert Gates, Chief Executive Officer. "As we progress through this plan, I expect to have strong production numbers and our revenue will certainly follow."
In its recent acquisition, First Colombia Gold Corp acquired interest in over 4,900 acres of oil and gas leases with over $200 Million in proven reserves. Clarence Parks, President and COO of First Colombia Gold Corp. stated, "Today's announcement is extremely exciting, because it means we will now begin to see revenue from this acquisition. Since the day we closed, our goal was to move as quickly as possible to restore production, and today we have begun to do that." Mr. Parks continued, "We know our shareholders have been anxiously awaiting this news, and we are pleased to update the public and confirm that we have a tremendous plan. Phase One, to restore production to existing oil wells, is now underway."
