Jarvis Entertainment Group Comments on Cyber Mark International Split; Transfers Facility and Equipment HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2001 Internet technology and entertainment holding company Jarvis Entertainment Group Inc. (Pink Sheets:JRVE) is pleased to announce the reorganization of CMKI (OTCBB:CMKI) is near completion. All equipment and production facilities are in the final stages of moving to Houston; JRVE will begin producing Virtual Reality coin operated systems for gaming as well as learning, military, home, and communication usage. JRVE anticipates the VR division, in concert with the other divisions of Jarvis Entertainment Group, to contribute to a growth rate of approximately sixteen percent for fourth quarter of this year and first quarter of next year. With the newly formed VR division in place, JRVE will begin to shift its focus from mergers and acquisitions towards filing audited financials and qualifying for a different exchange. Concerning the Cyber Mark split: The split is an action conceived and undertaken by Cyber Mark's previous management, prior to any involvement by Jarvis Entertainment Group (JEG), and JEG had taken no action regarding the split, in support or opposition. While Sam Singal has resigned from his positions at Cyber Mark and JEG has placed John Jarvis as interim chairman and CEO in Cyber Mark, the acquisition is not yet fully complete until obligations are met by both parties. After his appointment as an officer of Cyber Mark on August 2 and learning of the difficulty surrounding the split at that time, John Jarvis spoke to Nasdaq, NASD, and Cyber Mark's transfer agent and legal counsel in an effort to ascertain the status and problem with the 10:1 forward split. Preliminarily, JEG believed there was a problem with the Ex- date or the communication of the Ex- date by Nasdaq; however, JEG is unable to determine the exact fault due to conflicting reports from the aforementioned parties, Nasdaq, NASD, Cyber Mark's transfer agent and legal counsel. Interim Cyber Mark Chairman and CEO John Jarvis has sought the following solution: The stock dividend distribution date will now be made August 16, 2001. All other dates will remain the same. Jarvis Entertainment Group will continue to operate as an entity separate from Cyber Mark at this time. SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS This news release contains forward-looking statements.

Casavant Mining Kimberlite International OTC BB CMKI Chairman Announces Mineral Claim Acquisitions Business Wire, Nov 27, 2002
Business Editors
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 27, 2002
Formerly Cyber Mark International Corp. (OTCBB:CMKI)--Chairman Urban Casavant announced today that there are approximately eight (8) acquisitions of which all conclusive there is 1.9 million acres of mining claims which have been secured by CMKI in the world famous kimberlite area in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, known as Fort a la Corne.
Chairman Casavant stated, "Our mining claims surround the approximate 58,000 acres of Kensington & De Beers. Recently De Beers purchased themselves back private, for a stock purchase price of 17+ Billion USD. It is a well known rumor in the area that De Beers tremendous expense of both time and money to go back private is a solid indication of the tremendous diamond wealth of the Fort a la Corne diamondnifrous kimberlites." Chairman Casavant continued by saying, "We have not assessed the "Real Value" of the 1.9 million acres currently under our control. It is also believed that De Beers may have mines on there smaller parcel valued as much as $40 Billion USD to $80 Billion USD. Although there are no guarantees that the companies mineral yields will produce any such amounts-the likelihood definitely exists."
Chairman Casavant went on to say, "If these projections are even remotely close, which we have reason to believe may very well be the case, then with the massive land coverage we have spent the last several years to tie-up at considerable expense, it only makes a whole lot of sense that the mines which may be discovered on our much larger properties will be a real force to reckon within the world of Diamonds. The Fort a la Corne area could very well be the most important diamond discovery of the century. CMKI has strategically planned more staked acreage than any of it's surrounding competitors."
"With regard to our existing board of directors," Chairman Casavant stated, "Make no mistake, we are currently interviewing worldwide notables to fill the remaining directors positions. In addition, we have commenced with organizing an executive board of directors in an effort to add credence and credibility to the existing board."
Chairman Casavant is also proud to announce the appointment of world renowned economist, Mr. Mike King to the Executive Board. Mike King has written many analyst reports on several different mining companies in Canada, more specifically diamond mining companies, including the famous Mountain Province Mining Company. He is currently in the process of constructing a business plan for our core business, created as a result of all the drilling and excavation to be done.
With the infrastructure already in place i.e. roads, utilities, readily available manpower and other resources necessary for mining the diamonds, our company is fiercely competitive on a year-a-round production basis.
CMKI's geophysist has indicated that the quantity of diamonds in the Fort a la Corne area is expected range from 1.76 to 4.90 carats per ton.
Chairman Casavant further stated, "Upon completion of the business plan our auditors will prepare our proformas and forecast to be announced," and concluded by saying, "Our mining costs and specific drilling sites are confidential, as a measure of security to protect our shareholders interest. We are well aware that our costs are far below that of any of our competitors, therefore one thing for certain is that the potential yield from these mining claims and it's profitability may be very exciting."

Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Announces Purchase Bid for Latest Model Truck Mounted Drilling Rig with Diamond Exploration Schedule Business Wire, Dec 2, 2002
Business Editors
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 2, 2002
Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Inc. (OTCBB:CMKI) announced today that it was bidding for the latest model truck mounted drilling rig.
The Company intends on purchasing the drilling rig following design and maintenance approval by the drill team project manager. The drilling rig and all related equipment (i.e. water truck, water tank, 3000 feet drilling capacity, onsite geologist office and living camp) will be relocated "turn-key" to the Company's mineral claims which are located in proximity to the Fort a la Corne diamond fields in Saskatchewan, Canada.
For the past 10 years, the Fort a la Corne diamond fields have been the subject of joint exploration by De Beers Canada Exploration, Inc., Kennsington Resources Ltd., Cameco Corporation and UEM, Inc. To date, over $20 million (USD) has been spent testing 71 kimberlite bodies which have been described as world class diamondiferous kimberlite pipes.
The Company will use the latest in airborne and surface technologies to test for both magnetic and non-magnetic diamondiferous kimberlite fields using proprietary software. During this phase of exploration, the Company will identify those drill sites which evidence the best profile for diamondiferous kimberlite pipes. With over a 1,000,000 acres of claims, the Company will be able to minimize exploration costs while maximizing exploration results through the use of this state of the art technology.
The new drilling rig will be used by the Company to test core samples in the diamondiferous kimberlite bodies evidencing the best software enhanced profiles. The core samples take anywhere from 3 to 5 drilling days to complete per hole depending upon set-up time and overburden thickness. The Company's claims are accessible by secondary roads but some rough-cut access routes will be necessary at more remote sites. The depth of drilling will vary depending on overburden thickness with 250 to 350 feet being the norm in order to intersect diamondiferous kimberlite pipes. The Company previously announced that it intended on beginning core sampling by 1Q03, but with the new drilling rig in the field scheduling can be accelerated. The core drilling will be in phases with 7 to 10 drill holes per month using one drilling rig with three shifts during a 24 hr. period. As additional drilling rigs become available, the Company will bring them on line with a Canadian Dollar drilling budget of $8,000,000.
All core samples will be retained in the Company's secured warehouse facilities. The core will be sent to an independent laboratory for testing. Under the terms of the Claims Purchase and Exploration Rights Agreement with Buckshot Holdings, Ltd. and Commando Holdings, Ltd. there is a 3% NPI royalty on any facetable gemstones discovered on the claims. Both Buckshot and Commando are companies managed by Urban Casavant and beneficially owned by his family. Results of the drill core sampling will be released immediately upon testing. The Company will announce the names and backgrounds of its geologists, drill team experts, and executive advisory members in future news releases.

Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Announces Letter of Intent to Acquire Diamond Mining Company and Shareholder Meeting January 15, 2003 in Las Vegas, NV Business Wire, Dec 4, 2002 Business Editors LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 4, 2002 Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Inc. (OTCBB:CMKI) announced today a Letter of Intent to acquire Juina Mining Corp. (Pink Sheets:GEMM) a diamond mining company with working interests in producing diamond fields in Brazil. www.juinamining.comThe Letter of Intent is subject to shareholders approval of both companies following an accelerated due diligence period. The transaction will be based on an exchange of shares at the closing prices of the two companies effective December 3, 2002 on a multiple formula to be determined. In addition, Casavant Mining Kimberlite International has agreed to provide project funding and to assist in debt reduction after audit. Notices to shareholders will be given shortly with a date of January 15, 2003 agreed among the parties for the shareholders meeting. The meeting will be held in Las Vegas, NV at a time and location to be set-forth in the Notice. CMKI intends on filing a proxy with the Securities and Exchange Commission for shareholder approval of the Letter of Intent and other corporate restructuring matters. Notices will be sent out this week. The Juina claim is located approximately 550 km (342 miles) north of the City of Cuiaba by air charter or 724 km (450 miles) by road. With a population of about one million, Cuiaba is a major urban center in southern Mato Grosso, and is serviced with regular flights from Sao Paulo and Brasilia.

Substantial alluvial diamond deposits have been identified by De Beers and others in the Juina region. This is the first in many targeted acquisitions and roll-ups of existing diamond and other mineral resources companies. With a seasoned management team, high technology exploration methods that can better profile diamondiferous kimberlite pipes (both magnetic and non-magnetic), and on-line audit oversight of mining operations, Casavant Mining Kimberlite International is poised to take advantage of a consolidation of junior mining companies without losing focus on its core claims in Saskatchewan. Urban Casavant, Chairman stated "we are a new breed of prospectors and miners. With a quantum leap in technology, both hardware and software, we have the necessary tools to quickly and cost effectively evaluate mineral claims. The bottom line is to find diamonds and other precious metals at minimum cost against the world market price. We can do that and our fellow junior mining company executives know that creating for us the perfect opportunity to capitalize on what we know for the benefit of our shareholders."

Business Editors
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 6, 2002
Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Inc. (OTCBB:CMKI) announced today that Dr. Rupert A. I. Perrin M.D. had been appointed to the Board of Directors.
Dr. Perrin was twice nominated for a Nobel Prize in science based on his development of specific methods of diagnosing various diseases in humans and animals. Dr. Perrin currently resides in Las Vegas, NV.
Born in 1929 in Havana, Cuba, his family moved to Jamaica in 1934. He was the youngest person to graduate from high school at the age of 15. In 1945, Dr. Perrin passed the Cambridge University Senior School Examination and he was awarded The Jamaica Scholarship to study at Oxford University in England. Graduating with high honors in organic and physical chemistry, he won a second scholarship to study at McGill Medical School in Montreal, Canada. Dr. Perrin earned his medical degree in 1953.
After medical school, Dr. Perrin returned to Jamaica for two years where he supervised a series of research projects sponsored by the British Commonwealth Special Funds.

The office will promote the "Casavant" diamond brand and assist in the support of "conflict free" diamonds. As much as 15% of the $40 billion in diamonds sold in the U.S. annually are "conflict diamonds." These diamonds are mined and sold by rebel groups who use the profits to buy arms and to conduct terrorism against legal governments and citizenry.
Urban Casavant Chairman stated that "both the European Union and the U.S. governments are actively legislating against the sale of "conflict diamonds" which are sometimes referred to as "blood diamonds." Since the U.S. represents 65% of the world market for gem quality diamonds, the issue of "conflict diamonds" is something we cannot ignore. Our diamonds come from Canada and other conflict free diamond sources throughout the world. We plan on mining diamonds from our own deposits and buying conflict free diamonds at wholesale. We will merchandise these diamonds under the "Casavant" brand name. Both retailers and consumers can place their trust that a "Casavant" diamond is conflict free; mined in an ethical and environmentally friendly manner; and represent the highest in quality and value. We plan on becoming involved in the entire sales chain in diamond merchandising with the view of becoming the largest wholesaler of Canadian diamonds not just a mining company. This provides our shareholders with a more balanced investment opportunity and gives us income stream while we are developing our Saskatchewan diamondiferous kimberlite claims."
The delegation to Antwerp is scheduled to meet with various representatives in Europe to set the stage for the marketing of the "Casavant" diamond brand. The office will be operational by the 1Q03 showcasing the "Casavant" diamond brand to diamond cutters and wholesalers in Antwerp and throughout the world. The office will be working with some of the world's leading jewelry designers to create diamond pieces that are uniquely distinguishable as a "Casavant" diamond.

Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Commences Negotiations With Dia Bras Exploration, Inc. of Montreal to Acquire a Private Placement and Warrants Business Wire, Dec 16, 2002 Business Editors LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 16, 2002 Casavant Mining Kimberlite International (OTCBB:CMKI ) announced today that negotiations are underway to acquire 60% of the common shares in Dia Bras Exploration, Inc., a Canadian diamond exploration company with projects in Canada and the Republic of Guinea, West Africa.

Chairman Urban Casavant said, "This is another important purchase of stock for equity participation of CMKI shareholders." These properties are along the Trans Canada Highway. The original 7 small diamonds were extracted from two samples of ultramatic diatreme d**es outcropping from a road cut along the highway. Since then several major and junior companies including Kennecott have acquired properties in the area. Dr. Ed Walker, a consultant to Kennecott and KWG made the following statement: "Diamond quality and size distribution including the recovery of a quarter carat diamond from a mini-bulk sample, indicate that the commercial size and gem quality diamonds are present in these rocks. Excellent infrastructure, size of the deposits and favorable diamond quality and size distributions suggest a strong potential for the presence of economic diamond deposits in the area." The first bedrock diamonds of the Wawa area were discovered in 1995 by prospectors Marcelle Hauseux and Victor Surmacz.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Casavant Mining Kimberlite International in Negotiations to Acquire Zinc Mining Claims as Part of Dividend Spin-Off with Pink Sheet Company Business Wire, Jan 6, 2003

Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Announces Business Wire, Jan 7, 2003 Business Editors LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 2003 Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Inc. (OTCBB:CMKI) announced today a series of corporate initiatives in advance of the January 15, 2003 majority shareholder meeting to be held in Las Vegas, NV. First, CMKI is encouraging every shareholder to hold his shares in certificate form and if the shares are held in street name to make sure that he registers the shares in his own name to make sure the shareholder is properly identified in the official shareholder's audit that is being conducted by the Company and its Transfer Agent. The purpose of the audit is to make sure that every shareholder of record is identified for purposes of the CMKI's mandatory share and cash dividend policy. The share and cash dividend policy is explained below in fuller detail. Second, CMKI will be contacting the broker-dealer and market maker community to request their cooperation in the shareholder audit. In this regard, CMKI has identified the following market-makers who are active in the Company's shares based on information obtained on January 6, 2003 at www.otc.bb.com, as follows: AGIS Aegis Capital Corp. BAMM Brokerage America, Inc. BMAS BMA Securities BPAT Baird, Patrick & Co., Inc. CLYN Carlin Equities Corp. DOMS Domestic Securities, Inc. FRAN Wm. V. Frankel & Co., Inc. GNET Globenet Securities, Inc. (1) GNLN Gunallen Financial, Inc. GVRC GVR Company LLC HILL Hill Thompson Magid, L.P. JEFF Jeffries & Company, Inc. LTCO Ladenburg, Thalman & Co., Inc. MAYF May Financial Corporation MHMY M. H. Meyerson & Co., Inc. NAIB Global Partners Securities Inc. NATL National Securities Corporation NITE Knight Securities, L.P. PGON Paragon Capital Markets, Inc. PILL Phillip Louis Trading Corp. PRGM Program Trading Corp. PUGS Puglisi & Co. QUIN Park Financial Group, Inc. SCHB Schwab Capital Markets, L.P. SEAB Seabord Securities, Inc. TDCM T.D. Waterhouse Capital Markets VFIN Vfinance Investments, Inc. (1) Globenet Securities, Inc. was an active market maker during part of the trading day on January 6, 2003, but later "excused" itself from market making activities. Third, CMKI has been informed that majority shareholders plan on holding their shares in certificate form indefinitely if it helps the Company combat "naked short selling". Under a naked short sale, short positions are not declared, shares are not borrowed to cover the short sale, and the shares are sold without delivering the stock to the purchaser. Real shareholder ownership is undermined by naked short sales of stock and failed deliveries of real certificates that artificially inflate ownership and devalue the price of the securities. Fourth, CMKI, as previously announced, plans on approving at its majority shareholder meeting a mandatory share and cash dividend policy. The share dividend policy reflects the Company's acquisition strategy that identifies undervalued take-over targets in mineral resource and related businesses. The Company is currently evaluating 7 companies each of whom will benefit from new managerial economic assessment, asset appraisals, accounting peer review and legal restructuring. Fifth, CMKI believes that its shareholders and the targeted company's shareholders will best benefit from a "cross-dividend" policy. For example, if CMKI acquires a new target company in an exchange of shares, CMKI will pay its shareholders a mandatory 8% dividend of the total number of shares exchanged with the new target company. The shareholders of the new target company will be treated with the same fairness and therefore will be entitled to receive a mandatory 8% dividend of the total number of CMKI shares exchanged with the new target company. Since the mining and mineral resources business is highly fragmented, CMKI believes that its acquisition strategy will provide a way to leverage its assets into a larger more diversified portfolio of companies. Sixth, CMKI believes that its cross-dividend policy will result in share dividends being issued in the 3Q03. The legal audit of its shareholders of record will speed up this process. Further, CMKI has structured its mandatory 10% cash dividend policy (which is based on its net earnings) to benefit those shareholders of record on the declared dividend date. Seventh, CMKI believes that its acquisition strategy, spearheaded by the Casavant Family, will require the addition of a seasoned management team. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has nominated Jay McFadden to become Vice-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David Bending as President and Chief Operation Officer, and Rick Taulli as Secretary. Messrs. McFadden, Bending and Taulli are currently affiliated with Juina Mining Corporation. See www.juinamining.com. The Board of Directors has nominated David DeSorneau as Treasurer. Mr. DeSorneau was previously a consultant to CMKI. See December 3, 2002 Press Release. The nominations will be voted upon by the majority shareholders at the January 15, 2003 meeting. Eighth, CMKI will be a featured guest on the news talk radio show "Not for Widows and Orphans", hosted by international economist Mike King at Princeton Research, Inc. The radio talk show is broadcast live via the internet every Sunday evening. The talk show schedule is available at www.princetonresearch.com .

Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Announces Filing of Schedule 14C Business Wire, Feb 3, 2003 Business Editors LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 3, 2003 Casavant Mining Kimberlite International, Inc. (OTCBB:CMKM) announced today that it had filed a Schedule 14C with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Schedule 14C reports to shareholders actions taken by the Company's majority shareholders on January 15, 2003. The filing of the Schedule 14C is available at www.sec.gov and at www.freeedgar.com. The SEC has 10 days to review the Schedule 14C after which the Company will file a definitive Schedule 14C with the SEC with copies to be mailed to all of its shareholders on or before February 17, 2003. Following the merger with the Casavant Mineral Claims, which consisted of properties located in the Fort a la Corne area of Saskatchewan, Canada, the Company has undergone a series of necessary restructuring to its capitalization and management team makeup. The Company is now prepared to go forward with its exploration and core drilling program to determine the nature and extent of diamondiferous kimberlite pipes on its mineral claims. Based upon historical drilling information obtained from the Saskatchewan Industry and Resource and additional information compiled in an October 28, 2002 report prepared by Robertshaw Geophysics, the Company will use advanced technologies based on magnetic and non-magnetic testing to determine its core drilling site selection. The drilling program will be in accordance with SIR assessment protocols. To date, the Company has been successful in obtaining $2,000,000 USD in private placement funding to complete the merger with the Casavant Mining Claims. Additional funding will be necessary in order to complete the drilling program in the Fort a la Corne properties.

Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Announcement Business Wire, Feb 7, 2003 Business Editors LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 6, 2003 Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Inc. (OTCBB:CMKM) announced today that its time shared lease agreement of an ancient Chinese jade collection was appraised by experts and a random sampling of the overall collection was authenticated by Elizabeth Childs-Johnson. This clarification is being made after Internet-based chat rooms erroneously reported that the jade collection was neither appraised nor authenticated by experts. The references to the jade collection in the Company's most recent Schedule 14C filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be amended to reflect the expert's appraisals. Further, the Company believes that the jade collection provided it with an asset base before the end of its 2002 calendar year-end. The drilling program for kimberlite deposits in the Fort a la Corne area of Saskatchewan, Canada, is scheduled to commence March 2003 after further aerial testing has been completed. This aerial testing will seek to detect non-magnetic kimberlites that may have been overlooked using older technology available in 1994-1995. The newest technology available is now able to detect kimberlites covered by the 100-meter-plus overburden that predominates the claims. The Company believes that its current stock price reflects aggressive shorting of its stock. The Company will be able to fund its drilling program from its current shareholder base. At this time, the Company does not intend to centerpiece or travel with the jade collection because it would not be economically feasible to do so in non-museum settings due to security and insurance issues. The Company's website www.cmkmdiamonds.com is still under construction but the work to date has been launched. Both the Schedule 14C and the report of P. Robertshaw concerning the Fort a la Corne properties are archived for review by shareholders and interested parties. Forward-Looking Statements This Press Release contains "forward-looking" statements as that term is defined by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as ammended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as ammended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements that are included in this Press Release other than statements of historical fact are "forward-looking" statements. Although Management believes that the expectations reflecting in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations as disclosed herein, including without limitation, in conjunction with these forward-looking statements contained in this Press Release.
