 FIMA Inc., (Pink Sheet: FIMA)

Dear Reader,

Gold at $870 per ounce. Gas at $4+ per gallon. Food costs through the roof.

It seems that everything that comes out of the earth is rising at ridiculous rates and that those who gather the aforementioned for sale are the ones reaping the profits. Perhaps that’s what caught our eye with today’s featured company, a diversified explorer above and below the surface.

It’s been some time since we had a resource story to put forth and never have we had one that paired gold discovery with oil and gas, real estate and more. It’s a little complicated on first glance, but our detailed profile below should give you solid insight on a story the likes of which we’ve not seen before.

If you believe as we do right now that many of the best opportunities lie below the ground, take a few minutes to survey the nuances that comprise FIMA Inc. (OTCBB:FIMA).

    About FIMA

FIMA Inc. (Pink Sheets: FIMA) is an emerging land development company incorporating resource exploration & mining, oil & gas exploration and extraction, and commercial and luxury residential real estate development in Central and South America.  As an integrated resource exploration and mining company, FIMA has holdings in some of the most prolific gold and silver producing regions of Colombia.

FIMA's wholly-owned subsidiary, GoldSource Inc., has permits to mine and explore 14 hectares near Bogota, Colombia.  GoldSource recently announced that it had contracted the final environmental study based on the final mine design flow line for its Los Mates gold and silver project in Colombia. This latest step is one of the final regulatory hurdles for the Company before it begins the actual extraction process.

FIMA is understandably anxious to move past the final regulatory steps in order to commence further operations at the Los Mates project, particularly in view of the most recent geology report detailing the amount of proven, probable, and possible gold and silver reserves at the site. However, FIMA is committed to conscientiously observing all of the necessary legal and regulatory requirements so that it can maintain sustained, healthy production levels for years to come.

Worldwide Demand for Gold
Part of the Company's optimism stems from the tremendous opportunities in the current gold market. Global production of gold was at its peak in 1999 at just over 2600 metric tonnes, but has since hovered at or just below 2500 tonnes per annum every year since (Source: http://www.goldsheets.com). These production levels are not sufficient to meet annual global demand which has averaged more than 3800 metric tonnes from 1997 to 2002, creating a production shortfall of approximately 50% per annum (Source: World Gold Council). This tremendous disparity has been made up through the reintroduction of scrap into the market and the gradual sale of central bank gold reserves. However, as India and China, the world's largest and third-largest consumers of gold respectively, continue to industrialize, demand seems likely to increase, but the supplies of gold reserves in central banks cannot make up for the production shortfall indefinitely. 


FIMA's wholly-owned subsidiary, Standard Minerals, currently holds 24 individual oil and gas leases in highly productive region of Southeast New Mexico, adjacent to the Permian Basin of West Texas. 

Oil & Gas Exploration
The Permian Basin is located in West Texas and the adjoining area of Southeastern New Mexico. It underlies an area approximately 250 miles wide and 300 miles long. Historically a black-oil region, the Permian Basin has turned increasingly to natural gas over the past decade. Recent data show about a third of drilling activity directed to natural gas. Some gas is associated with oil, but drilling directed to exclusively deep gas or gas in tight sands has been active for some time, and unconventional gas in the Barnett and Woodford shale formations is now attracting significant interest. Today, the Permian Basin produces 16.4 percent of the nation’s oil and 7.1 percent of its natural gas (Source: Southwest Economy). Between 4,000 to 5,000 oil and gas fields have been discovered in the Permian Basin. From the 1920’s into the 1980’s 5% of the world’s oil and gas production was from the Permian Basin (Source: KFUPM).
New Mexico has long been a highly productive region for oil and gas. For instance, in 2007, the state produced 1,525,078,162 Mcf of natural gas, and 58,972,733 barrels of oil (Source: New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department). At a commercial price of $11.37/Mcf for natural gas (the most recent price listed by the Energy Information Administration), this level of production of natural gas translates to $17,340,138,702 of natural gas. And with crude oil prices above $130/bbl, the 2007 production levels of New Mexico equate to a market value of approximately $7,853,398,853.
Land Development & Property Management

FIMA also owns a prestigious architectural design and construction firm based in Puebla, Mexico.  FIMA specializes in planning, development, management and marketing of projects, requiring the highest standards of execution for the most discriminating clients and has current projects on the Mayan Riviera.

FIMA Development, Inc. began in 2007 as a real estate acquisition, development and consulting firm focused on the famous Caribbean island of Cozumel and the prestigious locales along the Mexican Riviera. FIMA management immediately began developing a network of relationships and contacts throughout the region.

    FIMA Revenue Streams and Diversification

A depressed real estate market allows FIMA to purchase raw land at a reduced price, and therefore tends to mitigate or even cancel out the effects of a bear market on the sale of its finished units. In the oil and gas market, both oil and gas are experiencing historic price spikes due to high levels of speculation as well as concerns over dwindling supply and perpetually increasing demand as many populous countries such as China continue to industrialize. 

Standard Minerals is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIMA incorporating resource exploration and mining, and oil and gas exploration and extraction. Standard Minerals currently holds 24 individual oil and gas leases in highly productive region of southeast New Mexico, adjacent to the Permian Basin. 

The Permian Basin is located in West Texas and the adjoining area of southeastern New Mexico. It underlies an area approximately 250 miles wide and 300 miles long. Historically a black-oil region, the Permian Basin has turned increasingly to natural gas over the past decade. Recent data show about a third of drilling activity directed to natural gas. 

Some gas is associated with oil, but drilling directed to exclusively deep gas or gas in tight sands has been active for some time, and unconventional gas in the Barnett and Woodford shale formations is now attracting significant interest. Today, the Permian Basin produces 16.4 percent of the nation’s oil and 7.1 percent of its natural gas (Source: Southwest Economy). Between 4,000 to 5,000 oil and gas fields have been discovered in the Permian Basin. From the 1920’s into the 1980’s 5% of the world’s oil and gas production was from the Permian Basin (Source: KFUPM).

New Mexico has long been a highly productive region for oil and gas. For instance, in 2007, the state produced 1,525,078,162 Mcf of natural gas, and 58,972,733 barrels of oil (Source: New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department).

According to a FIMA spokesperson, "With oil now reaching for $140 per barrel and natural gas also experiencing strong gains, we are extremely pleased to be able to add these potentially lucrative assets to our portfolio. In 2007 alone, New Mexico produced 1,523,550,719 Mcf of natural gas and 58.83 Million barrels of oil. 

"These impressive production levels are demonstrative of the exceptional opportunities present in the region, and we are extremely optimistic about the potential of this latest acquisition to bring added value to our shareholders."


mining for gold

Most industry observers do not expect this trend to reverse in the short term, and in the long term, the growing global demand for energy resources shows no sign of abating. In the precious metals market, gold has recently backed off an historic high, but price levels still remain strong, in part due to economic concerns over the state of the global economy in the wake of the sub-prime crisis, and also from rising demand from a growing and more affluent middle class in the populous and more prosperous countries of China and India

Current gold production is insufficient to meet growing demand, indicating the possibility of sustained high prices.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary GoldSource, Inc., FIMA controls promising gold and silver property in the highly productive precious metal rich regions of Colombia. In the Los Mates Project, systematic sampling programs have demonstrated a tenor average of 10.2 g/ton of gold and 2.3g/ton of silver. GoldSource is also in the initial phases of negotiations to acquire additional promising mineral properties in other parts of Latin America as well.

Because of the tremendous demand for gold and the concomitant rise in gold prices, properties such as Los Mates that have proven and probable reserves have become highly sought after. FIMA and GoldSource are actively engaged in the ongoing process to identify overlooked properties and bring them to production in order to take advantage of the tremendous market opportunities. 

REGIONAL  GROWTH

Recently, numerous South American mining companies have demonstrated some of the remarkable success that is possible in this region. For instance, New Oroperu Resources (NOPUF) and Campania de Minas Buenaventura S.a. (BVN), both operators of gold mines in Peru, have seen their shares appreciate 600% and 166.8% respectively in approximately twelve months. Salazar Resources Ltd. (SRLZF), focused on gold, silver and copper mining in Ecuador, has seen growth of 212.5%, and Exeter Resource Corp (XRA), operating in Argentina and Chile, has been the beneficiary of an increase of 153.9% in share price.

Also, there is additional room for growth in the price of gold. According to the German Bank Commerzbank, the 1980 record gold price of $871 adjusted for inflation would equate to $2,384 an ounce in 2008 dollars (Source: Spiegal Online/International). Even with gold currently fetching more than $1000 per ounce in some markets, there is clearly room for further price appreciation, particularly with growing concerns over recession.
