Casavant Mining Kimberlite International Obtains Funding of US $1.8 Million With

Pledge For
Additional US $3.2 Million

Business Editors

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2004--Casavant Mining
Kimberlite International (Pink Sheets:CMKM) announces it has
successfully obtained additional funding of $1.8 million with a pledge
of another $3.2 million upon completion of a feasibility study and
core sampling results.
The additional resources gives the Company the opportunity to move
operations forward at Fort a la Corne and also at its Green Lake
mineral claims. The Board of Directors has approved a simultaneous
drill program at both projects, now that sufficient funding is in
place. Our initial surface sampling work, completed at Green Lake,
have produced results consistent with diamondiferous kimberlite bodies
in proximity to the Company mineral claims located there. The diamond
core sampling at Fort a la Corne will be accomplished in-house using
the Company drilling equipment. An independent contractor will be
awarded a contract at Green Lake to assist in an aggressive drill
program.
The diamond core sampling will be used to establish geological and
structural context of the priority targets already chosen with the
objective of preliminary assessment for commercial operations.
There is no guarantee that further exploration or drilling will
produce any economic benefit to the Company or the shareholders of the
Company.
