First Colombia Gold Announces New Pipe Threading Facility


MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 19, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Colombia Gold, Corp. (OTCQB:FCGD)

First Columbia Gold announced today plans to construct a pipe threading facility at its oil offices in Albany, KY. This facility is going to be constructed on land already owned by the company and will allow the company to supply its own drill pipe to support drilling and exploration.  In addition, First Colombia Gold will also produce enough product to sell into the broader market. 

CEO Dr. Robert Gates stated, "This is truly an exciting expansion for our company.  Everyone in this business knows how rapidly drilling pipe has increased in price, and this will dramatically lower that cost to our company, as well as create an additional revenue stream."

Company President Clarence Parks stated, "From the moment we completed this acquisition, our goal was to generate new streams of revenue to support our plans for aggressive growth.  This new facility is the realization of that goal, and it is our desire to continue to be a major market force within this region." 

Dr. Gates continued, "There is a tremendous market for drilling pipe in the oil and gas sector.  Drilling pipe is becoming scarce, and pricing is becoming more and more burdensome for small and medium sized operators.  We intend to be a strong competitor in that market, and by our estimates, this expansion could produce $5-$7 million in annual revenue for the company."

First Colombia Gold plans to begin construction in the third quarter, and the company expects to have the facility fully operational by the beginning of 2015.
