CMKM Diamonds Announces Updated Corporate Strategy

 

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2005--CMKM Diamonds Inc. (Pink Sheets: CMKX - News) today announced a corporate strategy plan designed to dramatically and comprehensively transform CMKX's internal corporate governance. The aggressive plan is being spearheaded by Robert A. Maheu, the recently appointed co-chairman of CMKX.

 

"Solving problems has been my occupation for many years," said Maheu. He continued, "Tough assignments are not solved by wishful thinking, but rather by tough action." A new team of securities attorneys has been instructed that their prime assignment is to correct any deficiencies of the past and to cooperate fully with regulatory bodies both in Canada and the United States to minimize the possibility of such deficiencies in the future.

 

Maheu has also instructed management that regular reports to stockholders and the financial community are imperative.

 

"Today, CMKX is embarking on an aggressive, strategic plan that is intended to transform the entire corporation into a tightly focused mining and development company," said Urban Casavant, president and chief executive officer of CMKX. "It is our intent to use all available resources to generate consistent, long-term growth and profitability for our stockholders."

 

Additionally, Casavant said, "We shall be recruiting a team of experienced advisors, professionals and management executives. We intend to structure the company for a move to the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or an exchange."
