FTTN Targets Promising Energy Assets in Mexico’s Newly Reformed Energy Market

As First Titan Corp. (OTCBB:FTTN) continues to target distressed and undervalued energy assets well-positioned to rise in value once oil and gas prices rebound, the company announced today that it has turned its gaze south of the Rio Grande. As Mexico puts up nationalized oil fields for bid to private companies for the first time in more than 75 years, First Titan will target prime acquisition opportunities in a nation where production could rise to 3.7 million barrels per day by 2040.

“Now is the ideal time to acquire assets in oil-rich Northern Mexico,” said FTTN CEO Sydney Jim. “The oil fields are being put up for bid, but weak oil and gas prices are keeping interest from major operators low. By acquiring highly promising Mexican assets now, First Titan could stand to profit enormously once energy prices inevitably rebound.”

Though the massive shale formation that made many people rich in South Texas hardly stops at the Rio Grande, Mexican oil company Pemex has been largely unable to capitalize on these reserves so far due to a lack of expertise in unconventional drilling techniques. That will soon change. Mexico estimates that it will need more than 40,000 new wells to develop its virgin shale fields—a potentially highly lucrative opportunity for U.S. energy firms such as First Titan Corp.

“There is an extraordinary wealth of hydrocarbons down there, and demand for them is low right now,” Mr. Jim said. “We intend to pounce.”

FTTN is building a competitive portfolio of oil and gas properties and remains dedicated to the continued development of energy assets throughout North America alongside companies such as Lucas Energy, Inc. (NYSE: LEI), Earthstone Energy, Inc. (NYSE: ESTE), Fieldpoint Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: FPP) and Evolution Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: EPM).
