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

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.
