Hello,
First thing I would like to say before you all read this is I tried my best to sort and make it easy to read however when dealing with this many webs it is harder to do then it sounds,..
I have spent the last few days of course chasing down leads on DD hints dropped by a IR guy.. lol
Because of this it made me want to revisit some older posts I thought could be made into more,. like noahltl posting on UC's involvement in other companies,..
Well thanks to noahltl I have the chance to do so as his listing was better then my own.
If you have any questions about the data below or would like more information in them,.. pm me or write it in the posting and I'll do my best to add to the scenarios if I can.
Thanks and enjoy

Sierra Leone Plans for Diamond Expansion
The Republic of Sierra Leone's President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah marked the first anniversary of his country's peace by vowing to transform the diamond industry. He spoke at the June 20 state opening of the second session of the second Parliament. While acknowledging that the diamond industry has not brought under full control the problems of "smuggling, exploitation, cheating and chaos," Kabbah said "the government is committed to bringing about a well-regulated and transparent diamond mining and trading regime for the benefit of the state and people of Sierra Leone."
Kabbah spelled out three measures the government was taking on advice from the World Bank and industry experts. They include:
• Enforcing existing diamond mining and trading legislation and empowering the Sierra Leone police as the primary body for the enforcement of that legislation.
• Inviting an international diamond mining company to determine and recommend the conditions which must be implemented in order to bring maximum revenue to Sierra Leone.
• Regularly publishing the value of diamonds exported, the tax funds raised and the disposal of that revenue.
Kabbah said he commissioned a high-resolution magnetic survey in April, carried out by the Africa Diamond Holdings Ltd. This survey covered the Koinadugu and Kono districts. Similar surveys of the rest of the country are planned. One objective of these surveys is to determine the extent of existing Kimberlite diamond deposits and discover new ones.
Interesting although halted from TSX they still appear to be growing as a large company now searching for diamonds in Africa.

CMKM Diamonds Discloses Drilling Report (bwire)
LAS VEGAS (Business Wire) -- CMKM Diamonds Inc. (Pink Sheets: CMKX) today announced receipt of a drilling report prepared by William Jarvis on the Fort a la Corne Diamond Project.
The drilling report was commissioned for CMKX by 101047025 Saskatchewan Ltd. Jarvis was asked to report on and make recommendations for the kimberlite exploration program. The scope of work completed included:
-- a review of the geological setting as it relates to kimberlite and diamond exploration;
-- an examination of the geological and geophysical data provided by the company;
-- a review of published geological reports and maps; and
-- a visit to the area of the concession.
"We are pleased with the results of Mr. Jarvis' report and are now moving toward commencing further drilling as we move into our summer drilling program," stated Urban Casavant, president of CMKX.
From May 13th 2005
If you check on Dr. Paul Shatzko, MD, you find that he is a member of the company Gee-Ten Ventures Inc. Its mission is to develop both gold and diamond mining projects at the international level and to put the necessary factors into play to finance and bring economically promising projects to terms.
The Company currently concentrates most of its efforts on major diamond projects in Africa. Which just so happens to be where Fipke told people today to mine for Diamonds,.. Fipke and Shatzko worked together as well on other projects,.. but on this Gee-Ten Ventures Inc. Bill Jarvis is the Geologist.
Gee-Ten Ventures Inc. has retained the services of Mr. Bill Jarvis, P.Eng., who has worked for several years in Africa, both in gold and diamonds mines. Through his reputation, experience and passion, he has become the Company's trusted geologist.
He is checking out for mines in Angola where Fipke PR's today will be big,.. he has been there since 2004 I would assume probably back long since then,.
The PR is here : tinyurl.com/767qg

Director Iciena Ventures
Dr. Shatzko is the former President and Chairman of Mountain Province Diamonds, one of Canada’s most respected and successful diamond exploration companies. In addition to his substantial contributions in the original formation of the Mountain Province, Dr. Shatzko played a key role in that Company’s major diamond discovery in the N.W.T. and its subsequent joint venture with DeBeers Canada Exploration.
GEMM/Fipke/both in Brazil

Welcome To Juina Mining...
Juina Mining Corporation (GEMM), a Nevada corporation, has a 49% interest in a joint venture partnership with Emerging Africa Gold, Inc. (EAG) in the Brazilian Company Juina Mining Mineracao, Ltda. JMML holds an 86% working interest in the mining and mineral rights to approximately 1000 hectares (2,471 acres) of diamond bearing land in the District of Juina, Mato Grosso, Brazil "The Property 1000". Property 1000 is located in the District of Juina, at the southern region of the Amazon Basin.
www.iciena.com/charles.htm
matto grosso project/
Province of Matto Grosso, Brazil
Iciena holds a 20% undivided interest in the 63,000 hectare Matto Grosso diamond project. The property was also host to a large scale diamond rush in the 1960’s, when alluvial diamonds were first discovered. The proliferation of high quality diamonds in the area attracted several major diamond mining companies leading to the discovery of numerous kimberlite pipes. Many of the discoveries as recent as the 1990’s, only to be prematurely abandoned when met with mixed success.
Nine Kimberlite pipes were sampled, 7 un-sampled pipes remain, and 40 additional un-sampled targets occur within the 63,000-hectare claim block. A sample of 21 diamonds, collected from the property by Dr. Fipke, exhibit pristine or near-pristine surfaces, suggested a local source for the significant number of alluvial diamonds found on the claims.
Dr. Fipke also found something even more interesting than the evidence of diamonds on this property. The discovery of eclogitic garnets, which are indicator minerals that grow with diamonds, were found in 2 of the initial heavy mineral samples he collected. Group 1 eclogitic garnets characterize some of the largest diamond mines in the world, such as De Beers’s Orapa mine in Botswana, the Robert Victor and Bobbejean mines in South Africa, the Zagadochnaya mine in Russia, and the Diamond Works’ Koidu mine in Sierra Leone.
C.F. Mineral Research Ltd., the laboratory Dr. Fipke founded in his pursuit of the Ekati diamond mine, has developed state-of-the-art proprietary technology that makes it able to accurately distinguish group 1 eclogitic garnets from each other eclogitic garnets. They can distingush between Eclogitic garnets that grow with diamonds and also the ones that do not grow with diamonds. This technology was not available to the companies that previously worked the area and had mixed success with the project in the 1960’s. “We have the advantage of much more sophisticated technology than we used to find ekati,” say Dr. Fipke. “Not to mention the benefit of the data from the previous work that has been done on the property.” Fipke also said, “This is a strong shortcut to an advanced project and the basis for a new investment. This is an area with very high potential for undiscovered primary diamond deposits.”
Local "Garimpeiros" carry loads up the steep slope in the hopes of uncovering some of Brazil's major alluvial diamond sources. Since the 1960's, local miners have had success in finding these diamonds by using some of the most primitive methods of exploration. Iciena hopes that the advanced technology now available to the company can give them an advantage in uncovering a major source of diamonds in Brazil's rapidly developing diamond district, Mato Grosso.
Dr. Charles Fipke as Operator/
Dr. Charles Fipke: Unmatched Success
For ICIENA Ventures Inc., having a renowned diamond expert such as Dr. Charles Fipke as a driving force behind exploration and development, speaks volumes for the merit and potential of its Matto Grosso project. Dr. Fipke first rose to international prominence following the spectacular 1992 discovery of Canada¹s first ever multi-billion dollar commercial diamond deposit, now known as the Ekati Mine. When the discovery was announced, it sparked the biggest staking rush in Canadian history.
Today, Dr. Fipke is widely recognized for his acute ability to employ the latest scientific methodology to identify diamondiferous kimberlitic sources, sufficient for him to run his own very advanced geological laboratory and continue to explore for major diamond deposits around the world. Dr. Fipke views Iciena¹s Mato Grosso project as an emerging diamond exploration play. Based on our evaluation to date, the Amazon Craton is clearly a district that presents a very high potential to host a number of primary diamond deposits and at present, we have the decided advantage of much more sophisticated technology than we used to find Ekati². Says Dr. Fipke

Mr. Bending is a registered geologist with 25 years experience in mineral exploration and mining, world-wide. He has been very active in Brazil since 1996, fluent in Portuguese, and responsible
for diamond development in Latin America.
--------------------------------------------------------
Okay, Iciena Ventures has a 20% interest in the Grosso project and Fipke operates it for Iciena.
PR above says that David Bending was President of Juina Mining and Iciena Ventures has David Bending listed as and Advisor on their Management page.

...Iciena,Bending,Fipke,Hutchison....
Fipke :
* Owns 63k hecters in Amazon craton N. of Cuiab, Brazil
* Property is alluvial diamonds
* Owns CF Minerals laboratory
( Our "property 1000" is also N. of Cuiab, Brazil)
Iciena Ventures & Fipke July 11, 2002:
* Iciena signs agreement for 20% of the 63k hecters
* Fipke runs this project
David Bending :
* Co-owner of Minera Sucunduri Inc
* Pres of Juina Mining
* Jan '03 nominated President and Chief Operation of CMKI
Minera Sucunduri Inc :
* Reversed into Iciena Ventures
* January 20 2003-- "...Bending joined Iciena to develop diamond claims he was instrumental in acquiring"
* Icenia now has 47 diamond explor permits for 900,000 hectares of diamond claims in Matto Gross and Rondonia
*..."Recent studies in the Juina area have found "superdeep" diamonds at Juina with entirely different indicator suites which may not have responded to conventional exploration in the past."
* Have a Project in Paranatinga District
Paranatinga District:
* A region of Matto Grosso
* Co. has 700,000 hectares
* Co. has 40 known Kimberlites
* 4 Pipes indicate diatreme facies
* 100 More drill targets
* 720 carat diamond found in Paranatinga region in '96
Dr.Hutchison :
"...For the past ten years, Dr. Hutchison has been working on diamond research and has in-depth knowledge of diamonds from the Juina area, having completed his Ph.D. on the subject in 1997
* Presented to the Yorkshire Geological Society in '98 on deep mantle diamonds
* Through his research he has developed models for prospecting for diamonds in non-classical settings particularly useful to Brazil, Australia and Canada.
* Discoverd 2 new minerals at Juina
Iceina has been in a "re-organization" and name change for over a yr now.
Urban said on Dec. 31, 2002... " The South American diamond fields are expected to be a major source of income for the company.
Now I think we also know why Mr.Bending was to stay affiliated with Juina Mining after joing CMKI.

Hello,

If you have any questions about the data below or would like more information in them,.. pm me or write it in the posting and I'll do my best to add to the scenarios if I can.

Sierra Leone Plans for Diamond Expansion
The Republic of Sierra Leone's President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah marked the first anniversary of his country's peace by vowing to transform the diamond industry. He spoke at the June 20 state opening of the second session of the second Parliament. While acknowledging that the diamond industry has not brought under full control the problems of "smuggling, exploitation, cheating and chaos," Kabbah said "the government is committed to bringing about a well-regulated and transparent diamond mining and trading regime for the benefit of the state and people of Sierra Leone."
Kabbah spelled out three measures the government was taking on advice from the World Bank and industry experts. They include:
• Enforcing existing diamond mining and trading legislation and empowering the Sierra Leone police as the primary body for the enforcement of that legislation.
• Inviting an international diamond mining company to determine and recommend the conditions which must be implemented in order to bring maximum revenue to Sierra Leone.
• Regularly publishing the value of diamonds exported, the tax funds raised and the disposal of that revenue.
Kabbah said he commissioned a high-resolution magnetic survey in April, carried out by the Africa Diamond Holdings Ltd. This survey covered the Koinadugu and Kono districts. Similar surveys of the rest of the country are planned. One objective of these surveys is to determine the extent of existing Kimberlite diamond deposits and discover new ones.
Interesting although halted from TSX they still appear to be growing as a large company now searching for diamonds in Africa.

CMKM Diamonds Discloses Drilling Report (bwire)
LAS VEGAS (Business Wire) -- CMKM Diamonds Inc. (Pink Sheets: CMKX) today announced receipt of a drilling report prepared by William Jarvis on the Fort a la Corne Diamond Project.
The drilling report was commissioned for CMKX by 101047025 Saskatchewan Ltd. Jarvis was asked to report on and make recommendations for the kimberlite exploration program. The scope of work completed included:
-- a review of the geological setting as it relates to kimberlite and diamond exploration;
-- an examination of the geological and geophysical data provided by the company;
-- a review of published geological reports and maps; and
-- a visit to the area of the concession.
"We are pleased with the results of Mr. Jarvis' report and are now moving toward commencing further drilling as we move into our summer drilling program," stated Urban Casavant, president of CMKX.
From May 13th 2005
If you check on Dr. Paul Shatzko, MD, you find that he is a member of the company Gee-Ten Ventures Inc. Its mission is to develop both gold and diamond mining projects at the international level and to put the necessary factors into play to finance and bring economically promising projects to terms.
The Company currently concentrates most of its efforts on major diamond projects in Africa. Which just so happens to be where Fipke told people today to mine for Diamonds,.. Fipke and Shatzko worked together as well on other projects,.. but on this Gee-Ten Ventures Inc. Bill Jarvis is the Geologist.
Gee-Ten Ventures Inc. has retained the services of Mr. Bill Jarvis, P.Eng., who has worked for several years in Africa, both in gold and diamonds mines. Through his reputation, experience and passion, he has become the Company's trusted geologist.
He is checking out for mines in Angola where Fipke PR's today will be big,.. he has been there since 2004 I would assume probably back long since then,.

Welcome To Juina Mining...
Juina Mining Corporation (GEMM), a Nevada corporation, has a 49% interest in a joint venture partnership with Emerging Africa Gold, Inc. (EAG) in the Brazilian Company Juina Mining Mineracao, Ltda. JMML holds an 86% working interest in the mining and mineral rights to approximately 1000 hectares (2,471 acres) of diamond bearing land in the District of Juina, Mato Grosso, Brazil "The Property 1000". Property 1000 is located in the District of Juina, at the southern region of the Amazon Basin.
www.iciena.com/charles.htm
matto grosso project/
Province of Matto Grosso, Brazil
Iciena holds a 20% undivided interest in the 63,000 hectare Matto Grosso diamond project. The property was also host to a large scale diamond rush in the 1960’s, when alluvial diamonds were first discovered. The proliferation of high quality diamonds in the area attracted several major diamond mining companies leading to the discovery of numerous kimberlite pipes. Many of the discoveries as recent as the 1990’s, only to be prematurely abandoned when met with mixed success.
Nine Kimberlite pipes were sampled, 7 un-sampled pipes remain, and 40 additional un-sampled targets occur within the 63,000-hectare claim block. A sample of 21 diamonds, collected from the property by Dr. Fipke, exhibit pristine or near-pristine surfaces, suggested a local source for the significant number of alluvial diamonds found on the claims.
Dr. Fipke also found something even more interesting than the evidence of diamonds on this property. The discovery of eclogitic garnets, which are indicator minerals that grow with diamonds, were found in 2 of the initial heavy mineral samples he collected. Group 1 eclogitic garnets characterize some of the largest diamond mines in the world, such as De Beers’s Orapa mine in Botswana, the Robert Victor and Bobbejean mines in South Africa, the Zagadochnaya mine in Russia, and the Diamond Works’ Koidu mine in Sierra Leone.
C.F. Mineral Research Ltd., the laboratory Dr. Fipke founded in his pursuit of the Ekati diamond mine, has developed state-of-the-art proprietary technology that makes it able to accurately distinguish group 1 eclogitic garnets from each other eclogitic garnets. They can distingush between Eclogitic garnets that grow with diamonds and also the ones that do not grow with diamonds. This technology was not available to the companies that previously worked the area and had mixed success with the project in the 1960’s. “We have the advantage of much more sophisticated technology than we used to find ekati,” say Dr. Fipke. “Not to mention the benefit of the data from the previous work that has been done on the property.” Fipke also said, “This is a strong shortcut to an advanced project and the basis for a new investment. This is an area with very high potential for undiscovered primary diamond deposits.”
Local "Garimpeiros" carry loads up the steep slope in the hopes of uncovering some of Brazil's major alluvial diamond sources. Since the 1960's, local miners have had success in finding these diamonds by using some of the most primitive methods of exploration. Iciena hopes that the advanced technology now available to the company can give them an advantage in uncovering a major source of diamonds in Brazil's rapidly developing diamond district, Mato Grosso.

Dr. Charles Fipke: Unmatched Success
For ICIENA Ventures Inc., having a renowned diamond expert such as Dr. Charles Fipke as a driving force behind exploration and development, speaks volumes for the merit and potential of its Matto Grosso project. Dr. Fipke first rose to international prominence following the spectacular 1992 discovery of Canada¹s first ever multi-billion dollar commercial diamond deposit, now known as the Ekati Mine. When the discovery was announced, it sparked the biggest staking rush in Canadian history.
Today, Dr. Fipke is widely recognized for his acute ability to employ the latest scientific methodology to identify diamondiferous kimberlitic sources, sufficient for him to run his own very advanced geological laboratory and continue to explore for major diamond deposits around the world. Dr. Fipke views Iciena¹s Mato Grosso project as an emerging diamond exploration play. Based on our evaluation to date, the Amazon Craton is clearly a district that presents a very high potential to host a number of primary diamond deposits and at present, we have the decided advantage of much more sophisticated technology than we used to find Ekati². Says Dr. Fipke

* 720 carat diamond found in Paranatinga region in '96
Dr.Hutchison :
"...For the past ten years, Dr. Hutchison has been working on diamond research and has in-depth knowledge of diamonds from the Juina area, having completed his Ph.D. on the subject in 1997
* Presented to the Yorkshire Geological Society in '98 on deep mantle diamonds
* Through his research he has developed models for prospecting for diamonds in non-classical settings particularly useful to Brazil, Australia and Canada.
* Discoverd 2 new minerals at Juina
Iceina has been in a "re-organization" and name change for over a yr now.
Urban said on Dec. 31, 2002... " The South American diamond fields are expected to be a major source of income for the company.
Now I think we also know why Mr.Bending was to stay affiliated with Juina Mining after joing CMKI.
