Welcome to cdmx mining.
CDMX Mining is a deep-water natural resource exploration and mining firm which operates several large-scale offshore sites in the Gulf of Mexico, focusing primarily on the extraction of oil and gas through sustainable and environmentally responsible projects.
We aim to steadily develop our off-shore assets and continually identify potential new sites through extensive ground analysis, producing long-term and increasing value for our shareholders. Our exploration program has been widely successful, with several sites producing significant amounts of resources for international markets.
Through our vast industry experience, specialist expertise, technological edge and superior infrastructure, we have built a tremendously efficient production network, allowing us to deliver consistent and increasing supplies of oil and gas to clients around the world. We focus on developing our relationships through trust and our unwavering commitment to meet demands and the expectations of our partners.
CDMX Mining holds several licenses to large areas with great potential in the Gulf of Mexico. Securing these licenses has given us the sole rights to mine for natural resources in various localities, which we believe will enable us to become one of the biggest and most renowned suppliers of oil and gas by 2035, as the areas are estimated to hold substantial reserves that have yet to be extracted.
CDMX Mining was founded by Alejandro Benítez and Rafael Zamorano in 2010, and from our humble beginnings, we are now an internationally reputed company with several successful sites focused on the extraction of natural resources from deep-water environments. With a broad production/supply network, consistently productive sites and dedication from our professional team and offices located in the Americas and Asia, we intend to continue growing while adhering to the core values we were founded upon.
While our headquarters, admin and human resources located in Chiyoda-Ku, Tokyo and our investor relations and operational facilities in Mexico City, CDMX Mining has a range of sites and ongoing projects in the Gulf of Mexico, an area that has large deposits of natural resources and which promises to ensure that we are able to supply vast amounts of gas and oil to the global market for decades to come. Through our ability to deliver steady supplies, we aim to lead the regional industry by the middle of the next decade.
From our inception, we have focused on developing specialist skills in deep-water exploration, mining and extraction, attracting expert professionals and the highest standard of operators to continually increase productivity, improve efficiency and expand our network around the world. We have strengthened CDMX Mining by providing our team with cutting-edge technology, reliable infrastructure and the latest equipment to ensure the success of our projects.
Traditionally, our business plan has been to extensively study areas, analyzing the ground composition and extrapolating data to assess the viability of potential projects, establishing operations in areas which are able to produce long-term supplies. As we move into the future, we endeavor to adhere to our core values of responsibility and sustainability, practice good corporate governance, respect the environment and advance our regional strategy through dedication and commitment.
