Frank, the stuff would be so funny, if stockholders weren't getting lit up faster than a California forest fire. And there are probably dozens of releases like this beauty: -- Temporary Drilling Delay at Fort a la Corne for Casavant Mining Kimberlite -- International Business Editors LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2003--Casavant Mining Kimberlite International (Pink Sheets: CMKM) regrets to inform its shareholders that the company's exploration efforts in Fort a la Corne have been temporarily set back in their schedule for electro magnetic surveying and the drilling which was to commence late last week. The delay is from unexpected magnetic storms caused by "sunspots" or explosions on the sun, as reported by numerous sources recently on the news and Internet. Scientists observed the biggest explosion in 30 years on Tuesday, which produced a particle cloud 13 times larger than Earth and hurtled through the solar system at more than 1 million miles per hour. The geomagnetic storm is expected to disrupt communication satellites, television transmissions, GPS navigation and possibly the flow of electricity in some areas. The company made a decision to suspend the electro magnetic surveying necessary after receiving notification from Durama Enterprises Limited that space weather forecasters warned of the possibility of a solar storm last week. The exploration contractor was completing GPS navigation and the last of a series of surveys, prior to drilling the sites already chosen for core sampling, before the interruption. The delay was necessary for the company given the circumstances to achieve the best possible results without interference or faulty readings. The pause in field work will give the exploration contractor time to compile and analyze data gathered, to date, and plan additional magnetic surveys to be done. When a more definitive timeline has been established, it will be announced. Casavant Mining Kimberlite International has retained an additional independent geophysical consulting firm to assist in data analysis and interpretation. This firm has many years of experience in diamond exploration in Saskatchewan.
