Transcript of Tom Allinder of HotStockChat. com’s Interview with Dr. Mark Hutchison of Casavant Mining Kimberlite International (OTCBB-CMKM)
(Begin interview)
Tom: Hello and welcome to HotStockChat. This is Tom Allinder. Today my guest is Dr. Mark Hutchison. Dr. Hutchison is a consulting geologist for Casavant Mining Kimberlite International. Casavant Mining Kimberlite International is traded on the OTCBB market under ticker symbol CMKM.
Now, as with all companies that we interview, we want to remind listeners that you will be hearing forward-looking statements during the course of this interview. Therefore, it’s advised that everyone that listens to the interview or reads the transcript, or looks at the profile or anything else on HotStockChat. com, must do their own due diligence and make up their own minds regarding buying the stock of CMKM or any other company that we interview or profile at HotStockChat. com.
So, without further delay – Mark, how are you doing today?
Dr. Hutchison: Hi, I’m doing very well, thank you.
Tom: Can you give our listeners a brief overview of the business of Casavant Mining Kimberlite International?
Dr. Hutchison: I certainly can. Casavant Mining is a U.S. publicly-listed company based out of Nevada and it’s a fairly new company. Principal assets consist of a large mineral claim up in Saskatchewan in Canada. Its leadership involves a number of people who have been players in both mineral and diamond industries in Canada for a number of decades. Most have been private ventures. This is a new, exciting development for the people involved with the company, getting into the public forum.
Tom: Now, the company has acquired 1.9 million acres of land in the diamond district of Saskatchewan and this land surrounds the De Beers-Kensington diamond property and they have 58,000 acres. Is that correct, that the 1.9 million acres surrounds that?
Dr. Hutchison: Yes, that’s broadly correct. There’s actually two principal other players in the area as well as Casavant. The other companies are a joint venture between De Beers-Kensington and Cameco, which is called the Fort à la Corne joint venture. They hold 22,544 hectares, which is about 58,000 acres, as you say. And the other company is a company called Shore Gold, who owns slightly more than 28,000 hectares.
Now, the Casavant properties are "significantly larger than these and broadly surround them". They are also directed, or concentrated towards the northwest of the De Beers joint venture area. Now, historically the De Beers joint venture was basically staked and claimed on the basis of information known to them at the time, prospecting techniques which were available to them at the time, which are slightly outdated at the moment. So obviously, like any mining company, they’ve made a focus on a particular area of interest to them. But Casavant has come along at a time where the technology is a little bit more advanced and I’ve been very fortunate in being able to access land surrounding, as you say, the De Beers and also Shore Gold. They are planning to use this technology to delineate kimberlites surrounding the De Beers and the Shore Gold properties.
