The Court and SEC will need to intervene in this situation but these are the claims I'm referring to:
Entourage: In other news and further to the Company's news release of October 20, 2005, the Company is involved in ongoing negotiations with CMKM Diamonds, Inc. to acquire CMKM Diamond, Inc,'s 25 per cent earn-in interest in Saskatchewan mineral claims S-137714-S137717. Presently, the claims are held on a 50-50 basis by United Carina Resources (TSX.V:UCA) and Consolidated Pine Channel (TSX.V:KPG). CMKM Diamonds Inc. is earning an interest in these claims and, when the earn-in obligations are complete, the property will be equally owned as to 25 per cent each, that is: United Carina 25 per cent, Consolidated Pine Channel 25 per cent, CMKM Diamonds 25 per cent and U.S. Canadian Minerals 25 per cent.
The claims include the Carolyn kimberlite pipe and United Carina reported in an October 18, 2005 news release that in a five-hole drill program on this pipe in 2004, samples from one of the holes tested for diamond content. Only two micro-diamonds were recovered, but further testing will probably be conducted on other samples from the drill holes.
January 03, 2006 - Entourage Mining Ltd. (the "Company) (OTCBB: ETGMF) reports that it has completed the due diligence on the Smeaton/Forte a la Corne/ Green Lake properties and the Hatchet Lake properties as described in the Company's October 20, 2005 news release. The Company has informed the CMKM Taskforce and 101047025 Saskatchewan Ltd. that Entourage will instruct its transfer agent to issue the "Purchase Shares" (45 million shares to the CMKM Shareholders and 3,888,888 to 101047025 Saskatchewan Ltd.) in conjunction with the acquisition of these property options.
June 30, 2006. Entourage Mining Ltd. (the "Company" or "Entourage") (OTCBB:ETGMF) reports that Star Uranium Corp., operator of the Hatchet Lake Project, has informed the Company that the 2006 winter diamond drilling program was curtailed due to unseasonably warm spring weather conditions. The planned program was less than half completed. Four holes were drilled to depths of 78 to 102.7 meters to test two separate geophysical conductors and one hole was abandoned at a depth of 31.1 meters on another conductor. The property is located near the eastern edge of the Athabasca basin where the targets are at shallow depths.
A total of 376.7 meters were drilled, with weak radioactivity intersected in one hole, when the program was curtailed due to weather conditions. Two hole fences (C-01, and C-02, C-03 and C-04) were drilled on two weak conductors southwest of Turkey Lake on the Hatchet Lake project. These holes intersected Athabasca sandstone underlain by faulted basement rocks. Secondary hematite alteration accompanies the faulting and fracturing in all the holes and in hole C-04 there is weak radioactivity associated with the secondary hematite.
The slightly elevated values obtained for uranium, lead and yttrium are considered to be favorable indicators of a mineralizing system similar to that at the major deposits in the region.
In addition, 17 drill core chips were analyzed by shortwave infared reflectance spectroscopy to determine the dominant clay mineralogy. The clay alteration assemblages in the basement rocks were found to be consistent with alteration phases recognized at uranium deposits/mines in the area.
The Hatchet Lake Project area has been upgraded and the remainder of the drill targets will be tested as soon as conditions permit. Because of the weather delays, the property payment schedule regarding payments from Entourage to Star Uranium, have been pushed back 12 months.
Mr. R. Daniel Studer, P. Geo and a "qualified person" as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 has reviewed the contents of this Hatchet Lake update. All samples were analyzed at the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) geo-analytical laboratories.
In other news, the Company has issued 1,550,000 incentive stock options at USD $0.30 exercisable until February 9, 2009, to contractors and directors of the Company.
