First Colombia Announces Plans to Acquire Oil and Gas Assets

Zacatecas, Mexico, June 12, 2014 /FSC/ - First Colombia Gold Corp. (FCGD - OTCQB), 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.
