CMKM Diamonds, Inc. Announces Joint Venture on Uranium Claims

Business Editors

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 8, 2004--

CMKM Diamonds, Inc., (Pink Sheets:CMKX) is pleased to announce it has reached an agreement with United Carina Resources Corp. (UCA) CDNX whereby CMKX can earn a 50 percent interest in recently acquired uranium properties in the Athabaska Basin area of northern Saskatchewan. The terms of the agreement call for CMKX to pay $100,000 dollars on signing and spend $500,000 on exploration during the first year. A further $100,000 is payable on the first anniversary and $750,000 dollars is to be spent during the second year of the deal.

The properties consist of approximately 35,800 acres and are located in the Wollaston Lake - Hatchet Lake area of Saskatchewan. A substantial amount of exploration has been carried out on these properties in the past and United Carina Resources Corp. is undertaking a compilation of all the data available and will undertake fieldwork as soon as possible. Previous work on the claims outlined several conductive zones, which yielded assays in excess of 1% U3Oa.

The properties are located 30 kilometers north and northeast of four known uranium deposits (Rabbit Lake, McLean Lake, Collins Bay, and Eagle Point). United Carina will be the operator of the project and Mr. Dave Billard of Saskatoon will be the Qualified Person for the project.

The Wollaston area is one of the world's most prolific districts for rich uranium deposits. Two classifications of deposits are present: the unconformity-type and the basement-type. The unconformity deposits are related to the base of the Athabasca sandstone and usually occur at the contact of the Archean granitoid gneisses with the Aphebian meta sediments (e.g. Collins Bay, McClean Lake). Basement deposits are hosted solely in the meta sediments (e.g. Rabbit Lake, Eagle Point).

All known deposits are related to the junction of north-easterly and northerly-trending faults, and have a close association with graphitic rocks. These deposits may be up to 1000 meters long, 100 meters wide, and less than 20 meters thick. The ore pods consist of a high-grade uranium ore. The deposits are surrounded by extensive
alteration halos of chlorite, cericite, illite, and tourmaline. The majority of these deposits straddle the edge of the Athabasca sandstone and exhibit varying degrees of geophysical responses and radiometric signatures.

The claim blocks held by United Carina Resources Corp. have many of the above geophysical characteristics and hence have good exploration potential for uranium.

CMKM Diamonds, Inc. Announces the Success of Its Integrated Business Plan Goes Into Effect in Ecuador
10/19/2004 9:30:00 AM

PORTOVELO, Ecuador, Oct 19, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (Pink Sheets:CMKX) headed by its CEO Urban Casavant and his advisory team accompanied by the company's SEC attorney Roger Glen successfully concluded the major ownership acquisition of the established American Mine here in Portovelo today. CMKM Diamonds and its operating partner Minera Nevada SA a subsidiary of Nevada Minerals, Inc. of Las Vegas, Nevada will manage a major corridor of gold production inside this region. The current yield coming through the American Mine is 40 tons of gold ore on a daily average. Alejandro Diaz, president of Minera Nevada SA exclaims, "Within the next 6 working weeks the production will raise to a steady 80 tons of gold ore per work day as we start our second shift of underground mining team." Diaz continues, "All will be done to ramp the mining production to complete our obligations to Yellow river and US Canadian Minerals, Inc. for their addition of two additional mills to Yellow River and the new production facility of the Buza coming on line over the next 90 days to build up to 300 tons of gold ore processing per day to satisfy the volume increase of the American Mine build up of production."

The advisory team had members from legal, accounting, operations and feasibility to assess all probabilities on expansion and further development of other opportunities from CMKX, UCAD, and Nevada Minerals. The team was introduced to the on ground executive team that will lead the way through the start up phase one process. US Canadian Minerals CEO Rendal Williams explains, "UCAD has considerable time and dollars invested here in South America, especially Ecuador. We believe there is a major shift of technologies that this region has been starving for and we as UCAD plan to lead the way and share this knowledge with those who wish to expand their current ore production."

The American Mine sits inside the Zaruma-Portovelo Mining District. This district has a recorded historic production of more than 4.5 million ounces of gold and 19 million ounces of silver, as well as significant tonnages of copper, zinc and lead concentrates.

The American Mine located in Portovelo, Ecuador consists of a 100 ton hoist system that will from up to the depth of one of its 13 levels, deliver gold ore to the surface to a 35 ton drop shoot that will be supported by a jaw crusher and a cone crusher to minimize processing time for expedited production flow at the Yellow River Processing Plant. Urban Casavant CEO of CMKX said, "Through the combined efforts of all the parties in this venture we have gathered a new frontier for the well being of our shareholders and company alike. The company will be moving rapidly into a revenue model here in the fourth quarter."

There is no guarantee that further exploration or drilling will produce any economic benefit to the company or the shareholders of the company.

Canadian Regulators Extend CMKM Insiders Stk Sales Ban


21:45 EST Tuesday, November 09, 2004

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Canadian securities regulators in the province of Saskatchewan have extended a temporary order enjoining insiders of CMKM Diamonds Inc. (CMKX) from selling the company stock to residents.

The Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission said Tuesday that it extended its original temporary Order barring insiders of CMKM from selling unregistered stock "until the Commission is provided with satisfactory information."

According to the commission's original order, which was scheduled to expire Nov. 9, Urban Casavant, David Desormeau and Melvin O'Neil traded shares of CMKM Diamonds and its predecessor Casavant Mining Kimberlite International, "when they were not registered pursuant to section 27 of the Act."

That order also stated that Casavant, Desormeau and O'Neil have, "with the intention of effecting trades in the securities of (Casavant Mining and CMKM) made statements which they know or ought reasonably to know are misrepresentations."

Casavant is CMKM president and a very large shareholder, O'Neil is the company's spokesman and Desormeau is, or was at one time, CMKM's chief financial officer.

CMKM Diamonds has been the subject of four "In The Money" Dow Jones Newswires columns that highlighted its huge daily trading volume and the lack of information surrounding the company and its mineral claims. According to the corporation department of the state of Nevada, there are currently 800 billion shares of CMKM authorized.

Billions of CMKM shares trade daily but because it trades on the unregulated Pink Sheets, the company doesn't have to provide any financial information to its shareholders. Although CMKM has declined to say just how many shares are outstanding, a recent dividend payment related to U.S. Canadian Minerals Inc. ( USCA)'s acquisition of 5% of CMKM Diamonds' mineral claims indicated that some 780 billion shares had been issued.

Additionally, he was responsible for the acquisition of an airline. He also represented the Hughes' interests before local, county, state and national regulatory bodies for many years. At an earlier time in his life, Maheu served as supervisor of the administrative section of the New York City Federal Bureau of Investigation Office and special assistant to Assistant Director E.J. Connelly, who was in charge of major cases for the entire Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Throughout his life, Maheu and Robert A. Maheu & Associates served as an advisor(s) to many great men and companies throughout the history of America. Westinghouse, World Tankers Inc., Stavros Niarchos, Del E. Webb Corp., Schenley Distributors, United Steel Workers of America, Hughes Tool Co., Hughes Aircraft, Theta-Com of California, Howard R. Hughes, Leisure Industries Ltd., Jayhawk Industries, International Business Associates Inc., Shaheen Resources, MacMillian-Ring Free Oil Co., Pacific Investments, Expo-Tech, Exploration Co. of Louisiana, New Orleans Steamboat Co., Greyhound Exposition Services, Central Intelligence Agency, Global Intelligence Network, Las Vegas Investment Advisors Inc., Paradigm Gaming Systems, Konami Gaming Inc., Sunbelt Communications and Castle Rock Pictures Inc. are some of the companies. To list all of Maheu's accomplishments would turn this brief announcement into a novel.

Casavant and Maheu will together be looking into the company and setting forth exactly what CMKM Diamonds needs to do in order to be successful in its current endeavors. The two look to bring in a president to the company that has successful history in geology and mining of natural resources.

***********************************

Robert Maheu was born in Waterville, Maine, in 1918. After graduating from the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, in 1940, he joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation. During the Second World War he posed as a German sympathizer.

In 1947 Maheu established his own investigative company. Maheu also worked for the Central Intelligence Agency. He was later to admit "The CIA was my first steady client, giving me `cut-out' assignments (those jobs in which the agency could not officially be involved)." This work brought him into contact with Howard Hughes and in the late 1950s worked for him on a freelance basis. This included intimidating would be blackmailers and obtaining information on business rivals.

In 1960 Richard Bissell and Allen W. Dulles decided to work with the Mafia in a plot to assassinate Fidel Castro. Maheu was employed by the CIA to organize the conspiracy. The advantage of employing the Mafia for this work is that it provided CIA with a credible cover story. The Mafia were known to be angry with Castro for closing down their profitable brothels and casinos in Cuba. If the assassins were killed or captured the media would accept that the Mafia were working on their own.

In August 1960, Colonel Sheffield Edwards contacted Maheu. As Maheu explained in 1995: "In the winter of 1959-60, however, the CIA still thought it could pull off the invasion (of Cuba). But it thought the odds might be better if the plan went one step further - the murder of Fidel Castro. All the Company needed was someone to do the dirty work for it. Professional killers. A gangland-style hit."


Maheu offered the contract to Johnny Rosell. He in turn arranged for a meeting on 11th October, 1960, between Maheu and two leading mobsters, Santo Trafficante and Sam Giancana. As Maheu pointed out, "both were among the ten most powerful Mafia members" in America. Maheu told the mobsters that the CIA was willing to pay $150,000 to have Castro killed.

On 12th March, 1961, Maheu arranged for CIA operative, Jim O'Connell, to meet Roselli, Trafficante and Giancana at the Fontainebleau Hotel. During the meeting O'Connell gave poison pills and $10,000 to Rosselli to be used against Fidel Castro.

Maheu began full-time work for Howard Hughes in 1966. He moved to Las Vegas where he ran Hughes's casinos. Maheu explained later what his role was in the operation: "When he came here, he wanted to tie up all the property on the Strip to develop it properly. He didn't want it to be honky-tonk or like Coney Island. Hughes was a catalyst in the city cleaning up its act."

After losing his job with Howard Hughes in 1970 Maheu eastablished a new company in Las Vegas called Robert A. Maheu and Associates. In 1993 Maheu published the book, Next to Hughes.

(1) Mark Fisher, Howard Hughes (April, 2003)

As fantastically wealthy manipulators go, Howard R. Hughes was king. The billionaire's Midas touch had less to do with his fabled technical and financial genius than with endless secret deals and covert political bribes. "I can but any man in the world," Hughes liked to boast. Indeed, Hughes's conspiratorial authority stemmed from his ability - and eager inclination purchase loyalty from anyone, including the president of the United States, in a position to advance his, well, idiosyncratic designs.

Everything about Hughes was larger than life, including his paradoxical legend. Heir to a Houston fortune based on a drill bit patent that revolutionized oil mining, the dashing young Hughes captured the American imagination during the Great Depression years. Cowboy aviator, Hollywood playboy, patriotic military contractor, maverick financier, Hughes was a comic book hero whose can-do exploits knew no limits. Later in life, as his eccentricities metastasized into madness, the darker portrait emerged: the stringy-haired old man, a real lunatic with a mortal fear of germs holed up in a penthouse hermitage.

Throughout his life, Hughes's obsession with control expressed itself in a mania for espionage and spookery, especially as it applied to nurturing his substantial neuroses. However, despite his seeming omnipresence in the eye of many a stormy conspiracy, Hughes was just as manipulated by others. Known to spooks as the "Stockholder," Hughes fronted for CIA covert operations, sometimes unknowingly; Hughes, the demented shut-in, saw his empire manipulated by remote control.

We join the Hughes saga during the late 1950s, with the arrival of the shadowy and some sleazy Robert Maheu, fountainhead of many real and imagined Hughes conspiracies. In the fifties, Hughes hired Maheu to intimidate would-be blackmailers and spy on dozens of Hollywood starlets toward whom Hughes felt possessive. Maheu was a former FBI man whose private security firm fronted for the CIA on ultra-sensitive (read: illegal) missions. By the time he became Hughes's private spook, Maheu already had impressive credentials supervising contract kidnappings for the CIA and acting as the Agency's literal pimp, hiring prostitutes to service foreign dignitaries and their peculiar granny wants to sleep with GUNNERual appetites. Maheu's most notorious CIA job was a go-between in a failed 1960 plot to assassinate Fidel Castro, which recruited the Mafia to do the "hit." Friendly with the darndest folks, Maheu enlisted the aid of Vegas mobster John Roselli ("Uncle Johnny" to Maheu's children), Chicago godfather Sam "Momo" Giancana, and powerful Florida mob boss Santos Trafficante. Apparently, Hughes had no involvement in Maheu's freelance CIA work but delighted in the spook's exploits and connections, which only enhanced the billionaire's reputation and influence. (According to journalist Jim Hougan, Maheu informed Hughes of his efforts on behalf of the CIA to kill Castro.) By some accounts, however, the Stockholder was the Agency's largest contractor. In dedicating his resources to the CIA, though, Hughes wasn't guided entirely by selfless motives. During the late sixties, he asked Maheu to offer his empire to Agency as a CIA front. At the time the Hughes fortune was threatened by major legal trouble the beleaguered billionaire hoped to deflect the nettlesome litigation with a "national security shield".



(2) Robert Maheu, Next to Hughes (1992)


In the winter of 1959-60, however, the CIA still thought it could pull off the invasion (of Cuba). But it thought the odds might be better if the plan went one step further - the murder of Fidel Castro. All the Company needed was someone to do the dirty work for it. Professional killers. A gangland-style hit.

It was then that the CIA conceived the notion to let the mobsters do it themselves. They'd had a grudge against Castro ever since he'd forced them out of the Havana casinos. It was even rumored that Meyer Lansky had put a million-dollar bounty on Castro's head. CIA Director Alien Dulles passed the ball to his deputy director, Richard Bissell. Bissell handed off to the CIA security chief. Colonel Sheffield Edwards. And then I received the call...

Though I'm no saint, I am a religious man, and I knew that the CIA was talking about murder. O'Connell and Edwards contended that it was a war - a just war. They said it was necessary to protect the country. They used the analogy of World War II: if we had known the exact bunker that Hitler was in during the war, we wouldn't have hesitated to kill the bastard. The CIA felt exactly the same way about Castro. If Fidel, his brother Raul, and Che Guevara were assassinated, thousands of lives might be saved.

But in my mind, justified or not, I would still have blood on my hands. I had to think about it. The deal carried a pretty big price tag. I kept thinking about my family. What kind of danger would it put them in? If anything went wrong, I was the fall guy, caught between protecting the government and protecting the mob, two armed camps that could crush me like a bug....

Rosselli's first response was laughter. "Me? You want me to get involved with Uncle Sam? The Feds are tailing me wherever I go. They go to my shirtmaker to see if I'm buying things with cash. They go to my tailor to see if I'm using cash there. They're always trying to get something on me. Bob, are you sure you're talking to the right guy?"

When I finally convinced Rosselli that I was serious, very serious, he sat staring at me, tapping his fingers nervously on the table. I didn't want to pull any punches with the man, so I was totally up-front about the conditions of the deal.

"It's up to you to pick whom you want, but it's got to be set up so that Uncle Sam isn't involved - ever. If anyone connects you with the U.S. government, I will deny it," I told him. "If you say Bob Maheu brought you into this, that I was your contact man, I'll say you're off your rocker, you're lying, you're trying to save your hide. I'll swear by everything holy that I don't know what in hell you're talking about."

Rosselli hesitated at first, but then agreed. Many people have speculated that Johnny was looking for an eventual deal with the government, or some sort of big payoff. The truth, as corny as it may sound, is that down deep he thought it was his "patriotic" duty.

Understand that the world was quite different then. The Cold War was raging. Only months before, Francis Gary Powers had been shot down while flying his U-2 reconnaissance plane over the Soviet Union. The relationship between Washington and Moscow was at an all-time low, with Soviet Premier Khrushchev going so far as to openly call President Eisenhower a liar on several occasions.

Once the decision was made, it didn't take Rosselli long to put his plan into motion. On October 11, 1960, we took off for what would be the first of many trips to Miami. We booked ourselves into the Kenilworth Hotel, selected because Arthur Godfrey did his TV show from there. In Miami, Johnny introduced me to two men who would help us - "Sam Gold" and "Joe." Sam was Johnny's backup man; Joe would be our direct contact in Cuba. These weren't ordinary mob lackeys. Johnny didn't bother to tell me that "Sam" was Sam Giancana, his boss within the Mafia and the chief of its gigantic Chicago operation. Or that "Joe" was Santos Trafficante, former syndicate chief in Havana, and the most powerful Mafia man in the South.

I later learned that Johnny didn't just need a little help from these men, he needed their okay. Trafficante was necessary to get Castro because he had the connections inside Cuba, and Giancana was necessary to get Trafficante, because Trafficante had the stature of a "Godfather," and only a man of equal stature - like Giancana - could approach him for help. Johnny couldn't do it on his own. Both were among the ten most powerful Mafia members - a fact I learned only after seeing their pictures in a magazine soon after meeting them.



(3) Jack Anderson, Peace, War and Politics: An Eyewitness Account (1999)


The CIA's Sheffield Edwards was supposed to make the contact with the underworld. He approached a former FBI agent and CIA operative, Robert Maheu, who moved at the subterranean level of politics. Maheu knew his way around the shady side of Las Vegas; he had been recruited by billionaire Howard Hughes to oversee his Las Vegas casinos. Happily, Hughes was a friend who owed me a favor. Intermediaries persuaded Maheu to confide in me. He confirmed that the CIA had asked him to sound out the Mafia, strictly off the record, about a contract to hit Fidel Castro. Maheu had taken the request straight to Johnny Rosselli.

Rosselli had a reputation inside the mob as a patriot; he was quite willing to kill for his country. But as he told me, there was an etiquette to be followed in these matters. Santo Trafficante was the godfather-in-exile of Cuba after Castro chased out the mob. Rosselli couldn't even tiptoe through Trafficante's territory without permission, and he couldn't approach Trafficante without a proper introduction. So Rosselli prevailed upon his boss in Chicago, Sam "Momo" Giancana, to attend to the protocol. Since Giancana had godfather status, he could solicit Trafficante's help to eliminate Castro. The project appealed to Giancana who had commiserated with other dons over the loss of casino revenues in Havana. Killing Castro for the government would settle some old scores for the mob, and it would put Uncle Sam in the debt of the Mafia.

Maheu had been ordered to keep a tight lid on the involvement of the US government. The CIA was ready with a cover story that the Castro hit had been arranged by disgruntled American businessmen who had been bounced out of their Cuban enterprises by Castro.

On September 25, I960, Maheu brought two CIA agents to a suite at the Fountainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach. Rosselli delivered two sinister mystery men whom he introduced only as Sicilians named "Sam" and "Joe." In fact, they were two of the Mafia's most notorious godfathers, Sam Giancana and Santo Trafficante, both on the FBI's ten-most-wanted list. They discussed the terms of Castro's demise, with Giancana suggesting that the usual mob method of a quick bullet to the head be eschewed in favor of something more delicate, like poison.

The wily Giancana was less interested in bumping off Castro than in scoring points with the federal government, and he intended to call in as many chips as he could before the game was over.




(4) Spruce Goose, Flight-Line Online ( 2004)

When America entered the second world war our geographic isolation from the areas of conflict gave us a distinct advantage over our enemies. The technology of the time simply made it too difficult for those fighting against us to mount serious action against our homeland. In the end, this advantage left us the time and manufacturing power to smother our foes with an unending supply of the materials necessary to wage war. But we also had to overcome the vast distances, we had to find ways to safely deliver these materials, and men to use them, to the areas of conflict around the world. At the time, ships were the only way to get the job done and the men doing it were finding that it was very dangerous work! Shipyards across America were at full production but enemy submarines were sinking the critical vessels nearly as fast as they could be built. Something had to be done.

The idea for the HK-1 flying boat came from Henry Kaiser... Head of one of the largest shipbuilding firms of the time, Kaiser thought a ship that could fly over the danger might be the answer. Howard Hughes was known as an innovator in aircraft construction and design. These two men, both legends in their own time, would launch the venture to build the huge craft. (Originally three were to be built. ) The new plane's official name bore the initials of the principals in the project HK-1.... But to most of us it's always just been "Spruce Goose".

The huge plane would be made primarily of wood, saving materials critical to the war effort. The difficulties creating such a large airframe made of wood were unknown at the beginning of construction and would prove to be many. The final product is a tribute to the efforts of the team in overcoming the problems they faced. A structure made of lumber was created that, even on close inspection, bears little resemblance to any form of wood! Hughes would prove to be a demanding taskmaster during the period of development and construction. His attention to detail and insistence everything on the new plane be nearly perfect, was largely responsible for both the beauty of the finished product and it's not being ready to fly until after the war had ended.

The timing of completion and final cost brought Hughes and the project under the critical eye of the post-war congress, one Senator grudgingly referring to the plane as "The flying lumberyard". Howard Hughes was called to Washington D.C. to defend both the project and himself. During a break in the hearings, he flew back to California to conduct a test on the "Goose", it was during this test the accidental flight took place. This event, whether intended or not, put a halt to critics of the project and served as the finale for this gigantic aircraft ...... the project was dead. Though his feathers had been ruffled by the intense questioning he had endured, the flight had vindicated Hughes and the project. The HK-1, which by now would be known forever as the "Spruce Goose", was put into storage . It remained hidden from public view, carefully preserved, until after Howard Robard Hughes death in April of 1976.

Though he's not one to lament the past, Robert Maheu admits he has one major regret.
Maheu, who became Howard Hughes' alter ego as the billionaire became increasing reclusive in the 1960s, said, "The biggest regret of my life is not grabbing Howard Hughes with my two hands, shaking him by the shoulders and saying, `Enough is enough.' "
As Hughes' alter ego, Maheu arranged his deals and served as a political liaison. Their association, conducted via phone or messages because of Hughes' ever-escalating germ phobia, spanned more than 10 years.
Today Maheu oversees a company he began in 1954, which conducts investigative work for major corporations. Now based in Las Vegas, Robert A. Maheu and Associates specializes in casino-related work, advising companies on the viability of entering foreign markets, providing background checks on principals and suggesting risk avoidance strategies. Maheu's work has taken him around the world and has brought him face to face with world leaders and business tycoons.
Now in his 80s, Maheu has given much of the operating control of his company to his partners, but he still involves himself in the business. Most recently, he served as a consultant for the Continental hotel-casino and briefly served as a director for the Stratosphere until Carl Icahn took it over.
Maheu grew up in Waterville, Maine, earned his degree and joined the FBI just as war was brewing in Europe. He posed undercover as a German sympathizer and was involved in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro. After seven years with the FBI, he formed his investigative company. His early work was much like his FBI days. "The CIA was my first steady client, giving me `cut-out' assignments (those jobs in which the agency could not officially be involved)."
Through his business, Maheu began serving as Howard Hughes' consultant in the early 1960s and moved to Las Vegas in 1966. Because their communications were entirely by phone or message, Maheu did not see how quickly the billionaire was failing, but he did know the frustration of dealing with him.
"When he came here, he wanted to tie up all the property on the Strip to develop it properly. He didn't want it to be honky-tonk or like Coney Island," he said. "Hughes was a catalyst in the city cleaning up its act."
He said Hughes had vision, but he could never have been a true powerhouse in Las Vegas.
"He reached a point where he was incapable of making a simple decision," Maheu said.
Hughes became ill in 1970 and left the Desert Inn under mysterious circumstances that year. Just as mysterious is a much-contested handwritten letter in which Hughes stripped Maheu of all power. Though stunned by the turn of events, Maheu resolved "not to look back" and focused on his own business. "I'm happier now than I've ever been."
Maheu commented that Hughes, an aviation innovator, would "be in ecstasy" over a proposed cargo airport located in the Ivanpah Valley, 20 miles from Las Vegas.
Maheu says projects like the airport indicate Las Vegas has not yet peaked. "It has dynamics, it has capable people who are far-thinking," he said.
"If Hughes could have seen what's been developed on the Strip, he would be satisfied how it turned out. But -- he could never have done it himself."

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 2005--CMKM Diamonds Inc. (Pink Sheets: CMKX) today announced the reinstatement of its reporting status under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 through the filing of an amended Form 15.

On Feb. 9, 2005, CMKX engaged Stoecklein Law Group, a firm specializing in securities matters, as new securities counsel to assist with the correction of past deficiencies and guide CMKX through its regulatory compliance requirements.

"On behalf of the company and its stockholders, we would like to sincerely thank Roger Glenn and his firm for all of their past efforts," stated Urban Casavant, CEO/president of CMKX.

With its reporting requirements now reinstated, CMKX can now file current, quarterly and annual reports with the SEC disclosing vital corporate information to the investing public and its stockholders.

SEC Temporarily Halts Trading In CMKM Diamonds


11:23 EST Thursday, March 03, 2005

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission temporarily halted trading in the shares of CMKM Diamonds Inc. (CMKX) Thursday.

The SEC said it is suspended trading in the stock because of questions about the "adequacy of publicly available information concerning, among other things, CMKM Diamonds' assets and liabilities, mining and other business activities, share structure and stock issuances, and corporate management."

Trading is suspended until March 17.

The commission said in a press release that CMKM Diamonds has been delinquent in filing periodic financial reports since December 2002. The company has been trading on the unregulated Pink Sheets market.

The SEC said it "is concerned that CMKM Diamonds may have unjustifiably relied on a Form S-8 to issue unrestricted securities." The SEC also said that it is " also concerned that CMKM Diamonds and/or certain of its shareholders may have unjustifiably relied on Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") in conducting an unlawful distribution of its securities that failed to comply with the resale restrictions of Rules 144 and 145 of the Securities Act."

CMKM Diamonds recently announced in a press release that it reinstated its reporting status and that the company would now be able to file required quarterly and annual reports with the SEC. None have been filed so far.

Separately, Canadian securities regulators in the province of Saskatchewan issued an order in November enjoining CMKM Diamonds president and large shareholder, Urban Casavant, and two others from selling CMKM Diamonds shares without proper registration. That order, issued by the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission, was originally scheduled to expire Nov. 9 but it was extended until the commission receives "satisfactory information."

CMKM Diamonds has been the subject of several Dow Jones Newswires "In The Money" columns that highlighted the company's huge daily trading volume and the lack of information surrounding the company and its mineral claims. According to the corporation department of the state of Nevada, there are currently 800 billion shares of CMKM authorized.

CMKM Diamonds Comments on Temporary Trading Suspension (bwire)

03/04/2005- Comments on Temporary Suspension


LAS VEGAS (Business Wire) -- Commencing at 9:30 a.m. EST yesterday, trading of the common stock of CMKM Diamonds Inc. (Pink Sheets:CMKX) was temporarily suspended by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). This temporary suspension will expire on March 16 at 11:59 p.m. EST and trading in CMKX is anticipated to resume on March 17, 2005.

In its reasoning, the SEC stated it had concerns over the adequacy of publicly available information concerning CMKX's assets and liabilities, mining and other business activities, share structure and stock issuances, and corporate management. Further, the SEC was concerned that CMKX may have unjustifiably relied on a Form S-8, filed in May 2003, to issue unrestricted securities and that CMKX and/or certain of its stockholders may have unjustifiably relied on Rule 144(k) of the 33 Act in conducting an unlawful distribution of its securities that failed to comply with the resale restrictions of Rules 144 and 145 of the Securities Act.

CMKX has been in discussions with the SEC in relation to the SEC's inquiry into another public company that has done business with CMKX. In this process, CMKX has provided the SEC with substantial documentation, much of which spans back to transactions and stock issuances in 2002. It is believed some of the information provided raised concerns with the SEC sufficient enough to cause this temporary suspension of trading. CMKX anticipates a formal request for documents to be issued by the SEC in the near future.

"The SEC did not provide us with any notice of the temporary trading halt," stated Urban Casavant, CEO of CMKX. "This was an unwelcome surprise, especially since our counsel has had ongoing dialogue with the SEC."

According to the SEC's Web site, www.sec.gov, "The primary mission of the SEC is to protect investors and maintain the integrity of the securities markets." Consistent with this mission, Casavant specifically engaged Robert A. Maheu to assist CMKX in its compliance efforts. "Like the SEC, protecting our investors is a primary concern. We have been aggressively gathering the essential information needed to comply with our public disclosure obligations and anticipate working with the SEC to ensure our compliance with all federal regulations," stated Maheu, co-chairman of CMKX.

"We are not letting these regulatory matters impede our primary focus of creating stockholder value through the mining and development of our mineral assets," stated Maheu. CMKX is continuing to search for additional property claims in Canada and monitor its holdings in Ecuador.

On Feb. 17, 2005, CMKX filed an amended Form 15 to reinstate its reporting obligations under the 34 Act. SEC regulations require CMKX to file, within 60 days after the date of the filing of the amended Form 15, all reports which would have been required had the original Form 15 not been filed. CMKX has not been provided a waiver, "variance" or any other relief by the SEC for complying with the 60-day requirement. In fact, due to the overwhelming number of reports that need to be filed, coupled with the necessary financial statement preparation, CMKX will not be able to comply with the 60-day requirement. Management does not believe the filing of the amended Form 15 had anything to do with the SEC's decision to temporarily suspend trading in its common stock and continues to aggressively do everything within its power to comply with its 34 Act reporting requirements.

With its reporting status reinstated, CMKX anticipates filing a number of significant corporate updates with the SEC in the upcoming weeks on Form 8-K. Investors and stockholders are encouraged to review these forms as they become available through the SEC's EDGAR database.

The SEC's Web site further discloses, "The laws and rules that govern the securities industry in the United States derive from a simple and straightforward concept: all investors, whether large institutions or private individuals, should have access to certain basic facts about an investment prior to buying it." Casavant reiterated, "We understand the importance of supplying accurate information to the public and have made it our top priority to uncompromisingly disclose all material corporate information as soon as it becomes available."

Consistent with CMKX's continuing efforts to furnish the investing public and its stockholders with current information and to quell any inaccurate rumors, CMKX has disclosed certain corporate information pertaining to its operations and corporate structure. Of the 800 billion authorized shares of common stock, CMKX currently has 703,518,875,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding to approximately 2,032 stockholders of record (excluding shares held in "street name"). In addition, effective March 1, 2005, CMKX has relocated its executive office address to 5375 Procyon St., Suite 101, Las Vegas, NV. Lastly, CMKX's current officer is Urban Casavant (CEO/President/Secretary/Treasurer) and current directors are Urban Casavant and Robert A. Maheu (Michael Williams will join the board of directors upon CMKX's obtainment of D&O insurance).

Investors and stockholders are being asked to please refrain from contacting the company, the SEC, NASD, the Transfer Agent and/or Stoecklein Law Group to allow them to focus on completing the tasks at hand. All corporate updates will be made in press releases and filed in current reports on Form 8-K as they become available.

CMKX also would like to repeat the SEC's statement of, "At the heart of effective investor protection is an educated and careful investor" and encourage its stockholders and other investors to visit the SEC's Web site (www.sec.gov), which offers the public a wealth of educational information.

Such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Consequently, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.

CMKX's actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements because of factors such as: impact of the temporary halt in trading on CMKX's stock price; impact of the halt on CMKX's operations; uncertain further regulatory scrutiny; the current state of operations; unavailability of documentation and corporate records; changes in the number of outstanding shares of common stock and number of stockholders of record; the impact of failing to meet the 60-day filing requirement; timing necessary to comply with reporting requirements; lack of adequate internal controls; unforeseen capital deficiencies; unavailability of insurance; changes in the mining and metals environment, including actions of competitors; the effectiveness of CMKX's development and drilling programs; regulatory and legal changes; and other risks associated with companies in similar industries. CMKX undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect current events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

: OF HEARING PURSUANT TO
: SECTION 12(j) OF THE
: SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT
: OF 1934

Respondent. :
_________________________________ :


I.

The Securities and Exchange Commission “Commission”) deems it appropriate and in the public interest that a public administrative proceeding be, and hereby is, instituted pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) against CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (“CMKM Diamonds” or “Respondent”).


II.


After an investigation, the Division of Enforcement alleges that:

A. RESPONDENT

1. CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (File No. 0-26919) is a Nevada corporation based in Las Vegas, Nevada. CMKM Diamonds’ common stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. CMKM Diamonds is required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act.

B. CMKM DIAMONDS IS DELINQUENT IN ITS PERIODIC FILINGS

2. Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder require issuers of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file with the Commission current and accurate information in periodic reports, even if the registration is voluntary under Section 12(g). Specifically, Rule 13a-1 requires issuers to file annual reports

(Forms 10-K or 10-KSB), and Rule 13a-13 requires issuers to file quarterly reports (Forms 10-Q
or 10-QSB).

3. CMKM Diamonds has not filed an Annual Report on either Form 10-K or Form 10-KSB since May 9, 2002, or quarterly reports on either Form 10-Q or Form 10-QSB since November 18, 2002.

4. On July 23, 2003, CMKM Diamonds filed a Form 15 (“Original Form 15”), signed by CMKM Diamonds’ president, indicating that it had approximately 300 holders of record and that it was terminating its registration, and hence its reporting obligations, pursuant to Rule 12g-4(a)(1)(i) under the Exchange Act. Rule 12g-4(a)(1)(i) provides that an issuer with less than 300 holders of record may terminate the registration of its securities.

5. On February 17, 2005, CMKM Diamonds filed an Amended Form 15, also signed by CMKM Diamonds’ president. In the Amended Form 15, CMKM Diamonds stated that it had 698 holders of record when it filed the Original Form 15, that the Original Form 15 was revoked, that Rule 12g-4(a)(1)(i) was inapplicable, and that CMKM Diamonds had reporting obligations under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

6. As a result of the foregoing, CMKM Diamonds has failed to comply with Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder.


III.


In view of the allegations made by the Division of Enforcement, the Commission deems it necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors that a public administrative proceeding be instituted pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act to determine:

A. Whether the allegations in Section II are true and, in connection therewith, to afford the Respondent an opportunity to establish any defenses to such allegations; and B. Whether the registration of each class of CMKM Diamonds’ securities, pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, should be suspended for a period not exceeding twelve months, or revoked.


IV.


IT IS ORDERED that a public hearing for the purpose of taking evidence on the questions set forth in Section III hereof shall be convened at a time and place to be fixed, as provided by Rule 200 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice [17 C.F.R. § 201.200], and before an Administrative Law Judge to be designated by further order as provided by Rule 110 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice [17 C.F.R. § 201.110].

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Respondent shall file an Answer to the allegations contained in this Order Instituting Proceedings within twenty (20) days after service of this Order, as provided by Rule 220 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice [17 C.F.R. § 201.220].

If the Respondent fails to file the directed Answer, or fails to appear at a hearing after being duly notified, the Respondent may be deemed in default and the proceedings may be determined against the Respondent upon consideration of this Order, the allegations of which may be deemed to be true as provided by Rules 155(a), 220(f), 221(f), and 310 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice [17 C.F.R. §§ 201.155(a), 201.220(f), 201.221(f) and 201.310].

This Order shall be served forthwith upon the Respondent pursuant to Rule 141(a) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice [17 C.F.R. § 201.141(a)].
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Administrative Law Judge shall issue an initial decision no later than 120 days from the date of service of this Order, pursuant to Rule 360(a)(2) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice [17 C.F.R. § 201.360(a)(2)].

In the absence of an appropriate waiver, no officer or employee of the Commission engaged in the performance of investigative or prosecuting functions in this or any factually related proceeding will be permitted to participate or advise in the decision of this matter, except as witness or counsel in proceedings held pursuant to notice. Since this proceeding is not “rule making” within the meaning of Section 551 of the Administrative Procedure Act, it is not deemed subject to the provisions of Section 553 delaying the effective date of any final Commission action.

By the Commission.

SEC Takes Action Against CMKM, Deregistration Possible


12:13 EST Friday, March 18, 2005

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The Securities and Exchange Commission has begun administrative proceedings against CMKM Diamonds Inc. (CMKX).

The SEC said in an order on March 16 that CMKM Diamonds is delinquent in its financial filings requirement and that the regulator took action against the company to protect investors.

The Commission said it will set a public hearing before an administrative law judge to determine whether CMKM Diamonds' registration "should be suspended for a period not exceeding 12 months, or revoked." No hearing date has been set but under SEC rules of practice, an initial decision must be issued by the administrative law judge within 120 days of the order instituting the proceedings.

Earlier this month, the SEC temporarily suspended trading in the stock of CMKM Diamonds because of questions about the "adequacy of publicly available information concerning, among other things, CMKM Diamonds' assets and liabilities, mining and other business activities, share structure and stock issuances, and corporate management." Trading resumed on March 17.

This tiny diamond mining company has been trading on the unregulated Pink Sheets market and has not made any regulatory disclosure since late 2002. Billions of shares of CMKM Diamonds routinely change hands each day and its elusive number of outstanding shares had been the topic of much speculation until recently when the company said it had some 703.5 billion shares issued and outstanding.

CMKM Diamonds shares were recently trading at $0.0002, up 100%, on volume of more than 1.1 billion shares.

In its release announcing the temporary trading halt of CMKM Diamonds' stock, the SEC said it "is concerned that CMKM Diamonds may have unjustifiably relied on a Form S-8 to issue unrestricted securities." The SEC said it is "also concerned that CMKM Diamonds and/or certain of its shareholders may have unjustifiably relied on Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") in conducting an unlawful distribution of its securities that failed to comply with the resale restrictions of Rules 144 and 145 of the Securities Act."

CMKM Diamonds has said it is in the process of reinstating its reporting status.

Canadian securities regulators are also targeting the company. Last November, regulators in the province of Saskatchewan issued an order enjoining CMKM Diamonds president and large shareholder Urban Casavant, and two others from selling CMKM Diamonds shares without proper registration. That order, issued by the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission, was originally scheduled to expire Nov. 9 but was extended until the commission receives "satisfactory information."

CMKM Diamonds has been the subject of several Dow Jones "In The Money" columns which highlighted its huge daily trading volume and the lack of information surrounding the company and its mineral claims.

CMKM Diamonds Comments On SEC Administrative Proceeding
3/24/2005 9:30:04 AM

LAS VEGAS, Mar 24, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- On March 16, 2005, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deemed it in the public interest that a public administrative proceeding be instituted pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") against CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (Pink Sheets:CMKX) to determine:

-- Whether CMKX is required to file with the Commission current and accurate information in periodic reports under Section 12(g); and

-- Whether CMKX failed to comply with Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder by failing to file required periodic reports.

CMKX, pursuant to the Commission's order has been provided 20 days in which to respond to the allegations in the order. Upon CMKX's filing of a response, a public hearing will be convened at a time and place to be fixed for purposes of taking evidence on the issues set forth in the Commission's order. At the hearing, an administrative law judge will determine whether it is necessary for the "protection of investors" to suspend or revoke the registration of CMKX's securities from the Exchange Act.

In accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, a company that has total assets exceeding $1,000,0000 and a class of equity securities held of record by 500 or more persons must register the class of securities under the Exchange Act. CMKX (then known as Cyber Mark International Corp.) voluntarily registered its common stock under the Exchange Act in August 1999. Pursuant to Section 12g-4 of the Exchange Act, a company registered under 12g may terminate its registration requirements if the number of stockholders of record is reduced to less than 300. In July 2003, CMKX filed a Form 15 in an attempt to terminate its registration under the Exchange Act. However, this filing contained an error in the stated number of record stockholders, which was discovered by CMKX's new securities counsel in February 2005.

"When the error in the Form 15 was brought to the board's attention, it was incumbent upon us to take corrective action, regardless of CMKX's ability to file all delinquent reports within the stated 60-day timeframe. We could not continue to have a clearly inaccurate document filed with the Commission, when we knowingly had more stockholders of record than was stated in the Form 15 filing," stated Robert Maheu, co-chairman of CMKX. On February 17, 2005, CMKX filed an amended Form 15 to revoke the previous filing and reinstate its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. Management does not believe the filing of the amended Form 15 had anything to do with the Commission's decision to institute the administrative proceeding.

CMKX believes that it is required to have its securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act as a result of the number of its stockholders, at least 698 in July 2003 and in excess of 2000 in February 2005. Under the current rule, the number of stockholders is determined by the number of stockholders of record. Although CMKX has securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, according to the Commission CMKX is delinquent in its filings.

"We only want to comply with federal regulations and do what is right for our stockholders. If the Commission deems it in our stockholders best interest to forbid us from providing information through filings with the Commission, we will comply," stated Urban Casavant, president of CMKX. Replying to the Commission's administrative proceeding is a high priority for CMKX's management, which plans to take the following actions.

First, CMKX will be providing a response to the Commission within the time set forth in the Commission's order.

Second, CMKX acknowledges that all of its stockholders have a right to access public information on CMKX and to that extent, is prepared to present CMKX's response via a public proceeding as ordered by the Commission.

Third, CMKX believes it is in the best interest of its stockholders to be informed about the securities in which its stockholders invest. There can be no doubt securities markets best perform their function of setting fair and accurate prices where buyers and sellers have full and complete access to all material information. Recent changes to the federal securities laws mandated by The Sarbanes-Oxley Act have increased the implicit and explicit cost of providing information for reporting companies. Unfortunately, from the time of CMKX's filing of a 14C Information Statement in February 2003, CMKX has not been able to rely on either previous information or current information relating to its financial statements. As a result of its inability to provide accurate information about its financial condition, CMKX has retained the services of individuals who have been promulgated with the task of rebuilding its financial records and providing the public current periodic reports as required by Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. The implicit costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley is that current management will not file the required periodic reports until such time as the accuracy of the information required in such reports has been verified, inclusive of the financial aspects of CMKX, stockholders equity reports, and the mining claims and other corporate assets.

Although it is CMKX's intention to continue to pursue the effectuation of periodic reports in compliance with Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, management realizes that the Commission may prevail in suspending the registration of CMKX's securities for a period not exceeding twelve months, or revoking its registration altogether.

"Unfortunately management and others involved in CMKX's previous operations were not blessed with the trait of being perfectionists. Past professional guidance has left a void which prevented the Company's ability to prepare complete and accurate periodic reports under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act," stated Maheu.

CMKX's stockholders should realize that among publicly traded securities, two different standards exist for providing disclosures to investors. First, companies with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act that are current in their obligations as a registrant ("reporting issuers") provide annual, quarterly and periodic reports on Forms 10-KSB, 10-QSB and 8-K, in addition to other reports for small business issuers such as CMKX. The second category contains companies that do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act ("non-reporting companies").

Reporting issues are required to provide their stockholders and the investing public with annual audited financial statements, whereas non-reporting companies do not have to provide their stockholders or the public audited financial statements. Further, companies traded on the Pink Sheets that are not reporting issuers are not required to have audited financial statements in order to continue trading on the Pink Sheets. If the Commission were to suspend or revoke CMKX's registration under the Exchange Act, CMKX would be considered a non-reporting company and would continue to trade on the Pink Sheets. In this event, CMKX intends to provide material information to the public, when available, through press releases and postings to its website.

Casavant went on to say, "We are committed to pursuing the corporate cleanup required to allow us to provide periodic reports to our stockholders; however, in the event the SEC determines that a suspension or revocation is in order, then aside from our compliance with such order, we will utilize our best efforts to provide minimum basic information to our stockholders, allowing for CMKX to continue trading on the Pink Sheets."

Although CMKX currently anticipates being able to continue to trade on the Pink Sheets regardless of the outcome of the administrative proceeding, it is unclear at this point if the Commission will take further action in an attempt to prevent the trading of CMKX's common stock on the Pink Sheets or any other medium.

CMKX is not allowing these regulatory issues to divert management's attention from its primary operational goals of claiming new land and continuing its drilling activities. The future of CMKX lies in the continued development of its assets. Consistent with this statement, Urban Casavant added, "Creating stockholder value is a primary concern to us. We have some very positive operational things happening, both in Canada and in Ecuador, and are extremely optimistic about the future of our operations."

In the time preceding the administrative hearing, CMKX intends to continue its development activities and anticipates filing operational updates on Form 8-K, as required, when they become available.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release may contain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" as defined under U.S. federal securities laws describing the reinstatement of CMKX's reporting obligations and the expected impact of these obligations on CMKX's operations. Generally, the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "establish," "project" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from CMKX's historical experience and its projections. Such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Consequently, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.

CMKX's actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements because of factors such as: impact of the results of the administrative hearing on CMKX's stock price; impact of the hearing on CMKX's operations; CMKX's ability to continue to trade on the Pink Sheets; uncertain further regulatory scrutiny; the current state of operations, both in Canada and Ecuador; unavailability of documentation and corporate records; changes in the number of stockholders of record; the impact of failing to meet Exchange Act reporting requirements; the ability to rebuild financial records; timing necessary to comply with reporting requirements; lack of adequate internal controls; unforeseen capital deficiencies; unavailability of insurance; changes in the mining and metals environment, including actions of competitors; the effectiveness of CMKX's development and drilling programs; regulatory and legal changes; and other risks associated with companies in similar industries. CMKX undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect current events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

LAS VEGAS, Apr 15, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CMKM Diamonds Inc. (Pink Sheets:CMKX), in its continuing efforts to furnish the investing public and its stockholders with current information and to quell any inaccurate rumors, has disclosed the following corporate information:

Rumored Stockholder Meeting. CMKX has not noticed nor will it, or anyone on its behalf, conduct a stockholders' meeting at the NHRA event to be held in Las Vegas this weekend.

On the call, the administrative law judge denied the division of enforcement's request for summary disposition. As a result, the judge set a new hearing date of May 10, 2005, in Los Angeles (time and location unknown at this time). Further, the judge made it imperative that CMKX be prepared to provide a status report on its accounting and 12g reporting at the hearing.

CMKX would like to reiterate to its stockholders and the investing public that all corporate updates will be made solely through press releases and/or current reports on Form 8-K as and when they become available.

Zoomingstocks.com: CMKX Owners Group: A David and Goliath Battle: shareholders group wins over SEC demands

TYLER TEXAS, Apr 22, 2005 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- In the classic David and Goliath battle, a rapidly growing number of stockholders known as the CMKX Owners Group, stockholders owning stock in a mining and exploration company called CMKM Diamonds Inc., have possibly become the first stockholders group ever allowed to intervene in a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Administrative Hearing. The SEC enforcement division urged denial of the Owners Group motion to intervene regarding the scheduled CMKM Diamonds, Inc., hearing, however, the Law Judge overruled the SEC and granted the Groups right to intervene.
The CMKX Owners Groups was started by a single CMKX shareholder with the goal of securing as many members as possible, with the purpose to show solid support for its company to the SEC and demonstrate that shareholders consider the SEC actions against the company as harmful to shareholder value and company success.

Last week, Chief Administrative Law Judge, Brenda P. Murray, ruled in favor of the CMKX Owners Group, and against the SEC Enforcement Division, allowing the Group to intervene and be represented by attorney Bill Frizzell, at the SEC Administrative Hearing set for May 10, 2005, in Los Angeles, California.On April 6, 2005, Mr. Frizzell filed a Motion for Leave with the court requesting third party participation in the SEC Administrative Hearing against CMKX. Mr. Frizzell was successful in obtaining third party intervention at the dismay of the SEC enforcement division, and will be representing a minimum of over thirteen-hundred shareholders controlling in excess of 110 billion shares of CMKX stock.

The CMKX Owners Group is the fastest growing shareholder group in the nation. In the last three-weeks, the Groups membership has grown from one member to over thirteen-hundred members; and the numbers are increasing daily in an effort to show support for the company. What is most interesting, the Group is not forming to attack its company - as most shareholder groups do - it has formed to assure its company is represented fully and fairly by showing a solid shareholder base for the upcoming SEC Administrative Hearing.

CMKM Diamonds, Inc. has a large and devoted shareholder base that has concerns regarding the timing of the proceedings being brought by the SEC.

How to Join If you are a CMKM Diamonds, Inc., shareholder, and want more information regarding membership in the CMKX Owners Group, information and membership processing is available at www.cmkxownersgroup.com/.

United Carina Resources Corp. (TSX-V:UCA) and CMKM Diamonds Inc. (Other OTC:CMKX) have each been granted the right to acquire a 10% interest in the Nevada Gold Project. Each of the optionees can exercise its option to acquire a 10% interest by:

Zoomingstocks.com: CORRECTING AND REPLACING End-of-Week Stock Update:

(OTCBB: CMKX) CMKX Requests Subpoena of DTCC for upcoming Administrative Hearing

Carlsbad, Ca, May 02, 2005 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Zoomingstocks.com mid-week stock update is focused on, NMC, Inc. and CMKM Diamonds, Inc.

Late Breaking News: CMKM Diamonds has submitted a request to the court to subpoena the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, "as they may have evidence relative to the hearing in this matter", states the subpoena. This turn of events is unprecedented and unheard of. The subpoena was issued at the request of CMKM Diamonds, Inc. by Donald Stoecklin and the Stoecklin Law Group. The purpose of the subpoena is unknown at this time; however, CMKM Attorneys have requested all manner of documentation both paper and electronic and any records pertaining to transactions dealing with CMKM Diamonds, Inc. to be made available for inspection at this hearing.

About the DTCC - The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), through its subsidiaries, provides clearance, settlement and information services for equities, corporate and municipal bonds, government and mortgage-backed securities, over-the-counter credit derivatives and emerging market debt trades. DTCC's depository also provides custody and asset servicing for more than two million securities issues from the United States and 100 other countries and territories. In addition, DTCC is a leading processor of mutual funds and insurance transactions, linking funds and carriers with their distribution networks. DTCC has operating facilities in multiple locations in the United States and overseas.

CMKM Diamonds, Inc. was recently featured in the Zoom Generation Newsletter, a weekly subscription publication from Zoomingstocks.com as being the subject of the "trading rebate program" which creates incentives for traders to engage in transactions with no economic purpose other than to receive market data fees. The SEC believes that such trading may distort the actual volume of trading in these securities. Moreover, the Commission is concerned that the structure and size of market data revenue rebates may be distorting the reporting of trades, and that these rebate programs may reduce the regulatory resources of the markets and reallocate the funding of regulation among participants.

Ever wonder why CMKX and other sub-penny stocks have such a high volume of trades per day? This trade rebate program accounts for a majority of those trades. The SEC is implementing reforms under Regulation NMS to curtail some of this activity and allow only relevant trades to be counted in the day's volume.

CMKM Diamonds, Inc. will in less than two weeks appear at a hearing in Los Angeles to answer allegations by the SEC concerning its claims and corporate governance. Tremendous support and outpouring by shareholders loyal to CMKX is expected to draw attention to some of the ills of the current abuse of sub-penny stocks through many of the systems and sub-systems intended to facilitate the management and clearing of the stock market. This technology has only made it easier for traders to tilt the scale towards them at the loss of billions of shareholder dollars. Towards this end, CMKX is finally going to have their day in court and attempt to address and expose some of these issues.

Recently a CMKX shareholder, Mr. John Martin, of Tyler, Texas began a solidarity effort aimed at unifying the CMKX shareholders. The CMKX Owner's Group will look after their interests in the upcoming hearing of allegations made by the SEC against CMKM Diamonds, Inc. These allegations are being made under the pretense of shareholder protection. Knowing that his investment was at no time under the protection of the SEC, Mr. Martin elicited the legal services of the Frizzell Law Firm to represent himself and has since invited other CMKX shareholders to participate making the Group more credible in its intention. Mr. Martin has successfully inducted over 2320 members to date.

The actions proposed by the SEC are viewed by the shareholders as not being in their best interest, nor protecting their CMKX investment. These shareholders are among the most dedicated and loyal group of investors that have ever supported a Pink Sheet Company. The CMKX Owner's Group will probably be the first of many such efforts begun by shareholders to say that they "have had enough". Visit the CMKX Owner's Group at www.cmkxownersgroup.com , take a stance, and protect your investment.

CMKM Diamonds Updates Stockholders on the Status of the Upcoming Administrative Hearing
5/4/2005 11:49:01 AM

LAS VEGAS, May 04, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CMKM Diamonds Inc. (Pink Sheets: CMKX) wishes to update all stockholders on the status of the upcoming administrative hearing set for Tuesday, May 10, 2005, as CMKX is preparing to present their case via a public hearing as ordered by the commission.

CMKX has been diligently preparing for the administrative hearing by gathering and coordinating the compilation of documentation necessary to provide the administrative law judge with a status report on its accounting and 12g reporting efforts. "We have been working to assimilate a tremendous amount of documentation and gathering the necessary witnesses to prove our case at the public hearing," stated Urban Casavant, president of CMKX.

The Division of Enforcement has requested a ruling from Judge Murray in advance of the hearing to prevent CMKX from discussing or providing any evidence of naked shorting in the common stock of CMKX. The Division of Enforcement contends that evidence of naked shorting is immaterial and irrelevant, but CMKX considers it very relevant.

CMKX believes it is in the best interest of its stockholders to be informed about the securities in which its stockholders invest and CMKX acknowledges that all of its stockholders have a right to access public information.

CMKX has been working with Bill Frizzell, counsel to the CMKX Owners Group. CMKX and Frizzell have been working diligently together in an attempt to achieve the best possible outcome for CMKX stockholders at the hearing. Frizzell's assistance in this important matter has been instrumental in moving CMKX closer in its goal of investigating and resolving all possible issues relative to the trading in CMKX's stock.

Additionally, CMKX management sincerely appreciates and acknowledges the CMKX Owners Group for its efforts in demonstrating loyal stockholder support for CMKX management's ongoing effort to build stockholder value. Information about the owners group and their current numbers can be obtained at their Web site (www.cmkxownersgroup.com).

CMKX reminds its stockholders and the investing public that all corporate updates will be made solely through press releases and/or current reports on Form 8-K as and when they become available.

This press release may contain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" as defined under U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "establish," "project" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from CMKX's historical experience and its projections. Such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Consequently, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.

CMKX's actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements because of factors such as: impact of the results of the administrative hearing on CMKX's stock price; impact of the hearing on CMKX's operations; CMKX's ability to continue to trade on any platform; uncertain further regulatory scrutiny; the current state of CMKX's operations; unavailability of documentation and corporate records; the impact of potential naked short selling on CMKX's stock price and its ability to prepare its 12g reports; the impact of failing to meet 12g reporting requirements; the ability to rebuild financial records; any actual or perceived benefits derived from CMKX's cooperation with Frizzell and the CMKX Owners Group; timing necessary to comply with reporting requirements; lack of adequate internal controls; unforeseen capital deficiencies; changes in the mining and metals environment, including actions of competitors; the effectiveness of CMKX's development and drilling programs; regulatory and legal changes; and other risks associated with companies in similar industries. CMKX undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect current events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Equity Bridges Financial Relations: comments on CMKM Diamonds Inc. legal proceedings
via COMTEX

May 6, 2005

May 06, 2005 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) --

Wayne Pedersen President of Equity Bridges Financial Relations comments on the legal proceedings involing the SEC and CMKM Diamonds Inc. (Pink Sheets: CMKX)

Urban Casavant President of CMKX released a press release regarding the status of the upcoming administrative hearing. In this press release he also for the first time publicly acknowledges what has only been a strong rumour to this point and that is the naked short selling of CMKX. Previous to this release I found it hard to believe that this stock could have a short position after we all publicly discovered the outstanding shares were 703 billion but it is obvious that the rumour is for real. The SEC considers the naked short selling of CMKX immaterial and irrelevant. The SEC is supposed to protect investors. I cannot see how this is irrelevant. Urban Casavant feels this is very relevant.

As we draw closer to the hearing it appears the support for Urban and Company is growing stronger by the day. Bill Frizzell is an attorney representing over 3600 investors totalling combined holdings of over 260 billion shares of CMKX. CMKX is rumoured to have 40,000 to 70,000 total investors.

Here is the link: www.cmkxownersgroup.com

This hearing in my opinion is much more than just a hearing about a Company that is delinquent in it's filings, it is about "what is right". What I see is a Company that has a large amount of land rights surrounding what will likely be one of the largest diamond mines in the world in the next five to seven years. I recently attended a Resource Investment Conference in Calgary, Alberta and spoke with representatives of Shore Gold Inc. (SGF.TO) and Kensington Resources Ltd. (KRT.V) and they both confirmed they are already planning their own mines in the Forte a la Corne area and emphasized the unique infrastructure that already exists with Prince Albert (population 40,000) located 80kms away. When I consider all of the land CMKX encompasses around the Forte a la Corne area I consider Urban Casavant as someone who has done his homework.

Here is the link to the land map: www.casavantmining.com/locations.asp Notice the land in light yellow is CMKX property and the land in red is also CMKX property with joint venture partners: United Carina (UCA.V), Shane Resources (SEI-H.V), Consolidated Pine Channel Gold (KPG.V).

This land cannot be taken away by the SEC.

As far as being delinquent in filings goes, I see no harm in getting those filings up to date as Urban was trying to do. There should not be a ruling on deregulation when a Company is attempting to resolve problems. Urban is not purposely neglecting filing he is trying to rebuild this stock. Many shareholders purchased CMKX knowing full well there was no filings. In my opinion it does not help protect the public by deregulating this stock.

They need to collectively resolve the filings issue and address what really endangers the public and that is naked short selling. Naked short selling is when a security is sold without borrowed stock, in other words, selling stock that does not exist. Inevitably someone who buys that stock is actually buying non-existent stock. The SEC in my opinion is not addressing this issue with penny stocks for reasons I would sure like to know.

If CMKX is deregulated, parties involved with naked short sales of CMKX will never have to buy those shares back to cover and will simply make a 100% profit on the public's money. That is not protecting the public and that is very relevant in the proceedings. This is why I feel this hearing is so much more than an administrative hearing. This hearing is about the truth, about being honest and doing the right thing and most importantly this hearing is about doing what is right for the public.

I urge the SEC to do what is right. Give the hard working people what they want. "Stop Naked Short Selling in the Microcap Markets" This is no different then counterfeiting. There are very good people in CMKX with a lot of money. Do not let them lose faith in our system. Do not lose their money. Help CMKX get their filings in order and balance the shares of CMKX in the open market. That is simply all most shareholders want in my opinion.

Press Release to all CMKM Diamonds Inc. (CMKX) Shareholders

This call is going to all shareholders including those that have sent in your shareholders agreement. We are now requesting verification in a form that will allow us to submit our proof in a legal proceeding.

(PRWEB) May 8, 2005 -- Many of you know our shareholders group has been tabulating information to fully document the existence of a naked short position in CMKX stock. We have assembled a mountain of evidence through various TA records, NOBO lists, OBO lists and from the database of our shareholders group. The records we can obtain before this hearing will be important to the proof of the stock manipulation that has occurred in this stock for many months. This is not a plea for assistance to any particular board or owners group, this is a request for information to ALL CMKX shareholders.

A Call To All: It does not matter whether you have 1 million shares or 1 billion shares, confirmation of your holdings is vital to the proof we are assembling. This call is going to all shareholders including those that have sent in your shareholders agreement. We are now requesting verification in a form that will allow us to submit our proof in a legal proceeding.

We Can Get Over The Wall: We are convinced that stock ownership is a highly regarded secret in the marketplace for many reasons. Unfortunately for the small investor, the secrecy surrounding such ownership allows mountains of common stock to be sold and it is nearly impossible to accurately determine the number of shares sold in any one particular issue. The DTCC and the SEC are the only organizations who have easy and complete access to these records. They repeatedly resist all efforts by companies to obtain records of their own stock positions. There is one thing that each of you shareholders have in your possession that will allow you and your company to prove naked short sales. That is a monthly summary of the shareholdings you receive from your broker. Imagine the concerns market makers, broker/dealers and any guilty parties might have if all shareholders combined their reports and the real sales of stock were proven. You have a right to know how! many actual shares are being held by other investors.

Preliminary Share Numbers: Our initial reports from our group indicate ownership of over 210 billion shares of company stock and we are working on reports from 4,000 shareholders. The OBO and NOBO lists received today from the Company prove that nearly 60,000 accounts/shareholders exist in this stock. We have evidence that this number is far short of the actual number of shareholders. We need your help to prove the shares that have been sold in your company stock.

Current Owners Group Members Must Also Assist Us: We recognize that many of you have sent your information in your signup agreement. Your file has been established in this office and your numbers have been tabulated in the group. The information we are requesting is similar but we need a copy of your end of March statement from your broker. Please follow the directions below.

The Method:
What Information Is Requested? Please provide the following account information for each account you hold. We are seeking information contained in your brokerage statement for the month ending March 31, 2005:

This information is all contained in your statement. It could be as simple as pulling it up online and email it from the site. Or push print and take it to a fax machine.

1. Your full name
2. Your Broker’s name(s)
3. Number of shares held electronically in account(s)
4. The CUSIP number [the number CMKX stock is assigned
5. Type of account(s) shares in which shares are held: Margin, Cash or Retirement

Directions for Copying Account Information: There are three (3) ways you may provide information:

1. Copy information from your electronic statement and paste it into a word processing program or directly into an e-mail and e-mail it
2. Print out a copy of your electronic statement and fax it
3. Fax a copy of your paper monthly statement.

If it is possible to submit this information on a single page or two, it would be greatly appreciated!

Note: Feel free to black out any information that we do not require, such as other securities held, addresses, or any other information except what is requested.

*Directions for Transmitting Account Information*

If e-mailing, e-mail to e-mail protected from spam bots.

If faxing, fax to 903-595-4249. If the system if busy, please continue faxing until successful.

Time is of the essence; therefore, if you want to add your share count to the total, do not hesitate; fax or e-mail your account information today.

If you have questions, call me at 903-595-1921; my assistants or I will gladly answer any of your questions. Please be patient as we will be keeping long hours and fielding many calls.

In Conclusion
The Administrative Hearing is next Tuesday. The presentation of a large share count may demonstrate, not only to Judge Murray and the SEC, but also to the media that short selling of this stock have occurred in amounts rarely seen in the market place.

I urge you to act now and decide to help by adding your share count to the total count by faxing or e-mailing your information and share count.

Note: Only send account information indicating the total shares held electronically in your broker account(s).

Your friend and fellow shareholder,
John Martin

PS: I encourage everyone, who has not joined the CMKX Owners Group, to do so by going online at www.cmkxownersgroup.com. Please complete the CMKX Owners Group Agreement so we may open your file and continue to send our updates to you.

Some Board Members have posted the correct CUSIP number for CMXK for all to just copy into the information to be sent to Mr. Frizzell rather than going into their own account(s) and copying ther CUSIP number from.

Please do not send us any other cusip number than the one listed in your account(s).

The reason for this is that not all CUSIP numbers are the same; any numbers differing from the official CUSIP number of 125809103 may be intentionally incorrect and may have been altered: such an incorrect number could lead to a broker or market maker messing with your stock; therefore, YOU MUST check your CUSIP number in your broker account to see if it differs from the above number. If it does, fax a note to Mr. Frizzell at nakedfax@cmkxownersgroup informing him of such. make sure you include your name, broker name, and date of your statement with the incorrect CUSIP number and a way to contact you.

Important #1: If you are having difficulty in locating your CUSIP number and cannot locate it, this is okay: DO NOT LET THE LACK OF Finding your own CUSIP number stop you from sending in all your other information.

If you do eventually locate your CUSIP number and it differs from this one 125809103, then let Mr. Frizzell know by fax as stated above.

Important #2: If you have already sent in your account information to Mr. Frizzell, and you discover the CUSIP number differs from the one above, please fax Mr. Frizzell at e-mail protected from spam bots and provide the information as listed above.

Important #3: If you cannot locate a CUSIP number on your statement or online account, call your broker and ask what your CUSIP number is; if he will not give you one, insist they put that they will not give you one in writing and send it to you; then send Mr. Frizzell with your name, your brokers name and phone number; fax this to Mr. Frizzell at e-mail protected from spam bots.
