Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Announces
Business Wire, Jan 7, 2003

Business Editors

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 2003

Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Inc. (OTCBB:CMKI) announced today a series of corporate initiatives in advance of the January 15, 2003 majority shareholder meeting to be held in Las Vegas, NV.

First, CMKI is encouraging every shareholder to hold his shares in certificate form and if the shares are held in street name to make sure that he registers the shares in his own name to make sure the shareholder is properly identified in the official shareholder's audit that is being conducted by the Company and its Transfer Agent. The purpose of the audit is to make sure that every shareholder of record is identified for purposes of the CMKI's mandatory share and cash dividend policy. The share and cash dividend policy is explained below in fuller detail.

Second, CMKI will be contacting the broker-dealer and market maker community to request their cooperation in the shareholder audit. In this regard, CMKI has identified the following market-makers who are active in the Company's shares based on information obtained on January 6, 2003 at www.otc.bb.com, as follows:

AGIS Aegis Capital Corp.
BAMM Brokerage America, Inc.
BMAS BMA Securities
BPAT Baird, Patrick & Co., Inc.
CLYN Carlin Equities Corp.
DOMS Domestic Securities, Inc.
FRAN Wm. V. Frankel & Co., Inc.
GNET Globenet Securities, Inc. (1)
GNLN Gunallen Financial, Inc.
GVRC GVR Company LLC
HILL Hill Thompson Magid, L.P.
JEFF Jeffries & Company, Inc.
LTCO Ladenburg, Thalman & Co., Inc.
MAYF May Financial Corporation
MHMY M. H. Meyerson & Co., Inc.
NAIB Global Partners Securities Inc.

PRGM Program Trading Corp.
PUGS Puglisi & Co.
QUIN Park Financial Group, Inc.
SCHB Schwab Capital Markets, L.P.
SEAB Seabord Securities, Inc.

VFIN Vfinance Investments, Inc.
(1) Globenet Securities, Inc. was an active market maker during part of the trading day on January 6, 2003, but later "excused" itself from market making activities.

Third, CMKI has been informed that majority shareholders plan on holding their shares in certificate form indefinitely if it helps the Company combat "naked short selling". Under a naked short sale, short positions are not declared, shares are not borrowed to cover the short sale, and the shares are sold without delivering the stock to the purchaser. Real shareholder ownership is undermined by naked short sales of stock and failed deliveries of real certificates that artificially inflate ownership and devalue the price of the securities.


Fourth, CMKI, as previously announced, plans on approving at its majority shareholder meeting a mandatory share and cash dividend policy. The share dividend policy reflects the Company's acquisition strategy that identifies undervalued take-over targets in mineral resource and related businesses. The Company is currently evaluating 7 companies each of whom will benefit from new managerial economic assessment, asset appraisals, accounting peer review and legal restructuring.

Fifth, CMKI believes that its shareholders and the targeted company's shareholders will best benefit from a "cross-dividend" policy. For example, if CMKI acquires a new target company in an exchange of shares, CMKI will pay its shareholders a mandatory 8% dividend of the total number of shares exchanged with the new target company. The shareholders of the new target company will be treated with the same fairness and therefore will be entitled to receive a mandatory 8% dividend of the total number of CMKI shares exchanged with the new target company. Since the mining and mineral resources business is highly fragmented, CMKI believes that its acquisition strategy will provide a way to leverage its assets into a larger more diversified portfolio of companies.

Sixth, CMKI believes that its cross-dividend policy will result in share dividends being issued in the 3Q03. The legal audit of its shareholders of record will speed up this process. Further, CMKI has structured its mandatory 10% cash dividend policy (which is based on its net earnings) to benefit those shareholders of record on the declared dividend date.

Seventh, CMKI believes that its acquisition strategy, spearheaded by the Casavant Family, will require the addition of a seasoned management team. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has nominated Jay McFadden to become Vice-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David Bending as President and Chief Operation Officer, and Rick Taulli as Secretary. Messrs. McFadden, Bending and Taulli are currently affiliated with Juina Mining Corporation. See www.juinamining.com. The Board of Directors has nominated David DeSorneau as Treasurer. Mr. DeSorneau was previously a consultant to CMKI. See December 3, 2002 Press Release. The nominations will be voted upon by the majority shareholders at the January 15, 2003 meeting.

Eighth, CMKI will be a featured guest on the news talk radio show "Not for Widows and Orphans", hosted by international economist Mike King at Princeton Research, Inc. The radio talk show is broadcast live via the internet every Sunday evening. The talk show schedule is available at www.princetonresearch.com .
