can anyone show me where the 500 billion authorized shares comes from????
i keep seeing that figure, but i can't verify it?
if there are only 500 bilion shares authorised, then the divdend numbers don't work (again)...LOL

the news on value of the divdends is now about a week old. seems to me that UC or somebody would have issued an "OFFICAL" PR to contradict the numbers if they aren't true.
the numbers, would indicate that if UC has 51% control of the common stock, (that requires you to assume that the common stock is the only and primary voting stock)and he isn't even getting any of the divivend then you have to double the size of the ISSUED shares.......
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.........

this quote is from early this week

I have just recieved a letter from TD Waterhouse UK dated 6th August notifying me about the dividend payment....
"CMKM Diamonds has announced a stock dividend payment, whereby holders will recieve 0.0000155 new shares in US Canadian Minerals for each share held in CMKM Diamonds.

The payment of the new stock is due to be made on or around 24 September 2004, with the record date being proposed as 20 August 2004.

The stock will not be quoted ex for the dividend payment."

It goes onto say any more info they will contact me etc..

Then at the bottom there is a disclaimer in bold...

"Please note that the information contained in this notice is compiled from sources believed to be reliable but not guaranteed. If you are unsure what action to take, please contact your Financial Advisor."

Probably standard stuff.

I rang them asking if they could tell me where they got this information from, and the girl seemed confused why I would be questioning it. She told me that the company sent the information to them and they inturn forwarded it to the nominee holders. I'm not sure she knew this for fact, and besides this is the UK, and we are dealing with US stocks, which they do not specialise in. I left it at what she told me.

I am drawing my own conclusions that anyone expecting a PR stating the OS is lower than calcualted is deluding themselves.

note that the brokerage house seems to think it is not very bright to question the numbers. i am sure that UC has been notified of this situation, and i can think of all kinds of reasons that he wouldn't act to correct this, but mostly, it makes sense to assume he hasn't corrected because it's true.

With all due respect glassman this is old news. Most people on this board have accepted the fact that the O/S may in fact be 483 billion and are OK with it. I am. Even at that number, if/when the company starts pulling up minerals the company is way undervalued at .0004 IMO. I'll be buying more on Monday if it's still that low.

I haven't posted all of my theories yet, but one I have pondered is UC's statement that he takes half the profits of the newly acquired mineral rights up to 62 million.

If that land brings say 5 billion over 10 years, 500 million per year profit, then the first year about 440 million would go to stockholders.

Since UC's stock would not figure into our take, and since UC owns half, then the 440 million would be distributed to no more than 250 billion shares.

EPS = .00176/sh

Multiplied by a pe ratio of 20 = .0352


That would be worst case OS, and it only figures one pipe in operation, and it does not rely on predictions but would be based on actual revenue.

If the OS is 40 billion for shareholders, then 440 million would have an

eps = .011 X pe20 = .22


It is possible for this to be a legit .25 stock in 2 years, it could be more if multiple mining sites through all of our JV's, diamonds, gold, uranium, zinc, whatever.

but what about the voting share issue???
doesn't that double your figures?
if there are 400billion + or - shares times two, that would be pretty bad wouldn't it??????????

Just because CMKX won't come down for your daytrade don't mean you have to take it out on U.C.
If you were Casavant Gman,in a position to possibly gain some ground(maybe literally), you wouldn't just be blurting out everything you got comming up in the future either.

glassman, most of the restricted voting shares are UC's, if he has limited his take to 62 million then that part would not effect or dilute our take as much as people think.

UC's 62 million restriction can give us more confidence.

raider-are you talking about the revenues that they are going to get?????
this land is totally unproven and there is no mining going on yet....
from UCAD 10QSB 5/21/04

JOINT VENTURE WITH NEVADA MINERALS, INC./SASKATCHEWAN PROPERTY


On January 20, 2004, the Company entered into a formal joint venture agreement with Nevada Minerals, Inc. to develop up to 500,000 acres of potential Kimberlite Mineral property located on the east and northwest sides of fort a la Corne, Prince Albert, Province of Saskatchewan, Canada. Kimberlite and Kimberlite pipes are the raw materials from which diamonds may be extracted. The joint venture operates under the name "NevCan." The joint venture has a term that expires on January 20, 2005. By the terms of the joint venture contract, the Company has the rights to twenty percent of the revenues from mining operations at the site. As consideration for entering into the joint venture, the Company paid to Nevada Minerals, Inc. five million shares of restricted common stock. For its part, Nevada Minerals, Inc. tendered its rights to develop the 500,000 acres at the fort a la Corne, Prince Albert site. No on site mining development of this property presently exists and no preliminary testing has occurred. All prospective mining operations on this land are contingent on a number of preliminary tests being successfully completed, as discussed above.


.
since UCAD is a reporting company i looked at their filings...that is what they state.

furthermore UCAD's interest in the property appears to expire next Jan.(one year after signing) i haven't been able to find anything that gives a clear definition of what CMKX owns here or doesn't.
it should be a major concern that UCAD paid 5 million shares to acquire the rights to "develop" this property prior to any findings, and also that the terms of the agreement apper to expire well before any income can be expected to be produced.
i'm sure there is a good explanatin for this, but i cannot find one that will be good for the common shareholders of CMKX.

what restricted shares does UC own???
UCAD he isn't listed in the S-3's


CMKX doesn't file , so nobody but the insiders knows who owns what.

How about a 19.+ carat diamond from the earth?That would be pretty good for the shareholders.CMKX-UCAD and co. is practically next door to where there was one found of that size by others.

divide that by the shares.....does the company that found that diamond have hundreds of billions of shares????

i have no doubt that there are diamonds all over the place up there, but they have to be mined to get them and that is going to actually require WORK.....not paper shuffling and share selling....

Glassman,

I made it clear these are future earnings, with a 2 year window.

It is a theory based in revenue not potential. I agree unproven, but is there anyone who believes 109 drill targets will produce nothing.

I believe it is an extremely realistic possibility. That is why I don't care about shorts or high OS.

This company will go up 20 or more times when mining starts. It is based in realistic numbers. It isn't pumping as a daytrader would, it is looking at this as a real investment, so I can retire within 3 years.

i'm not bashing ya highway but UC is not getting the dividends on the 40 billion he gave up for nevada minerals. in fact the way the pr is written it say he gets no dividend this time or any subsequant dividends as in he has no shares to qualify for the dividend

As announced earlier, U.S. Canadian Minerals Inc. recently issued 7.5 million shares of the company's stock to CMKM in exchange for certain mineral rights. Those shares have been issued to CMKM and will be distributed to shareholders of record of CMKM on Aug. 20, 2004. Due to Casavant's share contribution to the property acquisition by CMKM occurring prior to the Aug. 20, 2004, date, Casavant will not receive this or any subsequent dividend.

It says due to not he choose to. now he might have comtrol of 51% of someone elses shares but this says he has no shares in his name. unfortunatly nothing this company does is straight forward and many things contaradict each other. i wish i had double or triple my shares and i wish they would give us a share structure. the o/s has to be 483 billion its the only way a .00000155 per share ucad dividend works. it goes to the entire o/s as nothing says insiders are not included but how does UC have control of enough shares to have the controling vote or was cmkx incorperated with the nevada loophole letting a company do as it wants without a controling shareholder vote. maybe by the 20th we will know but i'm not holding my breath

the PPS should spike dramatically if/when diamonds are announced....it will be hard to hold the PPS up without real revenues tho... esp if there really are this many shares out there. i am not suggesting this is a bad buy at these prices, i am suggesting that it may not give the kinds of returns that many are claiming. and i also disagree with your idea that "most of the people have accepted the share numbers." i have seen quite a few posts claiming they are false, i was primarily answering those posts.
i have also seen quite a few posts that are so far out there, nobody would take them seriously. this reflects poorly on allstocks. i am only offering some realistic analysis here. take it or leave it. i stated i might be interested in UCAD a few days ago, so i thought i would follow up with some of what i found.

highway, i couldn't move this stock with a week of posts and a nuke.... LOL.

absolutely, and i have been tracking the rumors like anybody who plays the pennies seriously...
but i would not call cmkx's financial situation bad at the moment, they have lots of cash to sponsor a racecar and party in Vegas...
i have no opinion on the the uranium takeover rumor, but once again, the dilution is what hurts here, what's the payout? .0000xxx shares???
what really concerns me is how a new rumor always seems to pop up as soon as the bad news is out and then the rumor is latched onto and soon become "fact".....CMKX has by far the most rumors attached to it. it's interesting, and yes funny,and yes i do wish all of you the best.....

Glass,

Sure they have money. As of Sept.30, 2002 they apparently had a deficit of ($3,488,859), and they have been mining for diamonds ever since then.

Ten million in the hole to private investors can be paid in about 10 minutes with one diamond discovery.

Compared to potential it is a drop in the bucket. Especially if the potential is days from being discovered.

Raider,

Exactly, invoking the fiscal powers of rich people is not difficult when precious substances are invloved.... diamonds, gold, silver, which ever....

Even financing 20 million dollars is not terribly difficult to the point of being impossible. I mean CMKX controls the mineral rights to a little over 2 million acres of land in prime diamond discovering areas.

The processes that create diamonds tend to create other things, such as Gold, Silver, Platnum, Uranium, which are also found at depositis in Africa, such as South Africa and Niger, even other parts such as North West Africa. The intense processes that caused the kimberlite to be belched from the earth however many millions/billions of years ago would be rich in certain types of deposits when it was molten magma, cooled and through a varity of natural processes including heat, magnetic intensity when cooling, ect, plus natural occuring minerals that were in the magma like nickle, ect, are most likely, in my opinion, on our TWO MILLION ACRES OF LAND, THE SIZE OF RHODE ISLAND, OVER 2000 SQUARE MILES....

Which we have a magnetic arieal survey of OUR RHODE ISLAND size property plus our neighbors

Now if Saskatchawan is like South Africa, maybe, just maybe we'll find Uranium and then Gold (think the Kugerand guys), Silver, and of course DIAMONDS!!!

-John-

from the PR 7-26-04

Due to Casavant's share contribution to the property acquisition by CMKM occurring prior to the Aug. 20, 2004, date, Casavant will not receive this or any subsequent dividend.

bill is right... this does seem to say Urban Casavant is no longer a common shareholder of CMKX,
i tried to determine if he owns any UCAD and came up short....
he may be a partner in one of the privately held companies that hold......

CMKM Diamonds Inc. Acquires Additional Interests in Saskatchewan


***

Business Editors LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CMKX-- CMKM Diamonds Inc. (Pink Sheets: CMKX) announced today that it has agreed to acquire a 60%, undivided interest in 500,000 acres of potential Kimberlite mineral property in Saskatchewan, Canada.
it looks like UC has bought in to this peice of property using 16 million$ worth of (his own) CMKX stock at todays prices. i can see why you would have such confidence in the potential of this property.

Firm to Market “Nonconflict” Diamonds

By Peter C. Mastrosimone Posted: 12/9/2002 5:04 PM

(Rapaport…December 9, 2002) Casavant Mining Kimberlite International, a Canadian diamond exploration company, is opening an office in Antwerp to market the stones it expects to find in Canada as conflict-free. Until its own claims pan out, Casavant will buy diamonds it can independently certify as conflict-free and sell them to retailers, according to company spokesman John Dolkart.

Dolkart said the Casavant brand should start appearing in unique jewelry designs in the first quarter of 2003. The firm plans to follow a vertical integration model by mining, buying from other miners, selling loose stones and selling branded jewelry all at once. Casavant is in discussions with mining companies and jewelry designers but is not ready to announce any alliances, Dolkart said.

The firm holds exploration claims in Canada’s Saskatchewan Province and Brazil. It will focus its marketing efforts on Canadian stones. “It makes sense that you can promote them as not only being Canadian diamonds — with all the attributes of Canadian diamonds — but also conflict-free,” Dolkart said. “As a consumer, I don’t see anybody ensuring diamonds are conflict-free. We’ll consider providing an insurance policy that says they’re conflict-free.”

Asked how Casavant products will stand out once the Kimberley Process of diamond certification is implemented, Dolkart said the company will emphasize the unique design of its jewelry.

Why You Should Care About Conflict Diamonds

We all know the marketed slogans and associations that give diamonds value: "Diamonds are a girl's best friend", "Diamonds mean commitment", "Diamonds are forever."

Diamonds sparkle, they glitter, but unknown to most, they can also have dark facets before they are cut—this is where the sparkle of diamonds meets the sin of greed, and where conflict and diamonds are incentives for war. "Conflict diamonds" are diamonds that fund the purchase of weapons that have fueled war and humanitarian disasters in places such as Sierra Leone, Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The majority of diamonds are not stained by the horrors of war. But there is a significant minority marked with the blood of the innocent.

In West Africa, the trade in conflict diamonds has contributed to the complete devastation of one of the world's poorest countries—Sierra Leone. In 1991, the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) was a rag-tag bunch of 400 disgruntled bandits in the bush seeking a fortune. After capturing the diamond mines in the eastern part of the country, the RUF was able to finance its cause to become a well-armed fighting force of 25,000.

Revenues from the conflict diamond trade purchase arms on the black market and drugs to dope kidnapped child soldiers who are forced to commit unspeakable atrocities on behalf of the RUF. These rebels still continue to mine diamonds under the cover of warfare.

For civilians who resist the RUF, the rebels' trademark of terror is rape and amputations. In the amputee camp in the capital of Freetown, you will find a three-year-old girl whose right arm was chopped off with a machete. There you will also meet a 14 year old girl, pregnant by rape, who will never be able to hold her child because the rebels who raped her also hacked off both of her arms
Other amputees describe the horror of being forced to select at random a piece of paper out of a bag, and losing the body part written on the scrap—arm, leg, ear, or nose. Other hapless victims, they recall, were unfortunate enough to have the word "head" written on that scrap of paper.

In the Southern African country of Angola, war has raged for over 30 years, and the population has suffered immensely. There was a possibility for peace, but rather than accept the 1992 elections which foreign observers judged as free and fair, rebel leader Jonas Savimbi of the group UNITA (Union for the Total Independence of Angola) simply resumed his war by seizing control of the Cuango River Valley, Angola's richest diamond territory.

UNITA began a major mining operation that made them the richest rebels in Africa. Diamond money paid for UNITA offensives that in the 1990s elevated Angola's civil war to a new plateau of savagery, killing more than half a million, displacing 4 million, and maiming 90,000 as a result of land mines.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has similarly suffered, with armies from neighboring countries killing families as they fight for control over diamonds and other resources.

In these cases, guaranteed access to the diamond mines has been a dominant reason for war, and, ironically, war has enabled the diamond industry to prosper. Diamonds are easily smuggled. To the untrained eye, rough diamonds look like mere pebbles, which can easily be wedged in a shoe, sock, or any kind of body opening, and they can go undetected through most metal detectors or x-ray machines. Because conflict diamonds can move so easily and quickly, a dealer can buy low, sell high and reap windfall profits, particularly during the height of a war.

For the seemingly intractable wars in Sierra Leone, Angola and the Congo, the reason for war is not to actually win, but to engage in profitable crime under the cover of warfare. Over the years, the informal diamond mining sector, long dominated by what might be called " disorganized crime," has now become increasingly influenced by organized crime and by the transcontinental smuggling of diamonds, guns, drugs, and vast sums of money in search of a laundry. Each of these smuggled items has become critical components to warfare, and so violence becomes central to the advancement of those with vested interests.

Despite these realities, there is much hope in ending this. Because Americans consume 65% of the world's gem-quality diamonds, we have the distinct power to dispel the darkness by ending the trade in conflict diamonds. For several months, the diamond industry has made public commitments to set up a global certification system which would filter out conflict diamonds from the clean stream of diamonds coming from legitimate sources.

World Vision, in partnership with more than 180 humanitarian, human rights and religious organizations world wide, believes that the diamond industry and concerned governments must implement this global system in order to halt the trade in conflict diamonds, while protecting legitimate diamond producers like South Africa. But the diamond industry will only keep its commitment if American consumers demand it. There are three things that you can do to help wipe the blood off of diamonds:

1) Write to your senators and the President demanding that they encourage strong Clean Diamonds legislation to dry up sources of revenue used for conflict.

2) Don't boycott, but do ask about the "fifth C." When buying a diamond, the majority only ask about the 4 Cs: cut, color, clarity and carat. When jewelers' customers begin to demand information on the fifth C -- "conflict" -- then jewelers in turn will demand from their diamond suppliers a verifiable guarantee that they are selling diamonds that are conflict-free.

3) Tell your friends and family about conflict diamonds. Let them know that they have the power to save lives by simply writing to their Congressman and talking to their jeweler.

The last thing diamond marketers want you to think about while buying diamonds are the troubles in Africa. But believing their messages means ignoring the blood of the blameless. Be sure that the diamond you purchase for your finger did not come at the expense of a little girl's limb in Sierra Leone. Ask about the "fifth C" ... conflict ... before buying your next diamond.

Hi Bill, I am heading off to church. You are not asking a complete question when you say I wonder what happened to all that? Some of those press releases say they are not going to disclose details at the present time and some were cancelled and acknowledged as such.

I will be returning to finish my taxes and probably will not get a chance to post much. Bill -Why not post some DD of your own? That would be refreshing. -IMO-Debi

Debi,

I was looking at the Canadian Governments
site that has all of the mineral rights claims. It can be downloaded as either an
excel, ascii, or text file.

There is absolutely "no" reference to CMKX,
CMKM, CIM, CMI,... Casavant...

Saskatchewan Ltd is listed as the rights owner. I then did a search on Saskatchewan
Ltd and found some not too nice references.
But nothing that tracked back to Casavant.

The government site lists transactions up
through the end of July. There was no changing
of hands that I could see of 60% of Nevada
Mineral Claims to any entity let alone
to CMKM.

Might be worth it to download the file
and take a look.

How many new claims have been filed and how many lapsed.

If you know your way around a map of Saskatchewan this is fun to work with.

I have no doubt that UC and company are on top of things. He has been staking claims for a long time and knows what they hold. The meetings are in Canada this week with Roger Glenn (the excellent lawyer who represents our largest shareholders interests and therefore ours) and many other mining parties. I think we will only have to wait until the conclusion of this meeting to have more answers than questions for a change. IMO-Debi
