Hodges and Associates Update
« Thread Started Today at 7:23pm »

Good evening to all CMKX shareholders. As most of you know my name is Al Hodges; I filed the Bivens lawsuit against past and present SEC Commissioners. I recommend that you read the legal allegations carefully; they will explain what has happened with your investment up through 2009. The only exception to that is for certain items which are prefaced with the words “information and belief;” in that case, the allegations describe what we believe happened.

You were all advised about one month ago of the status of my efforts on behalf of all the shareholders. At that time I advised that I would have a further update when a receipt for Economic Release had been received, or in the alternative I became convinced that such receipt would not be forthcoming in the very near future. I also opined, based on information being provided to me, that I believed such receipt was imminent. Neither has occurred as of this afternoon @ 3:00 PM PST.

In the intervening weeks, I have requested my associate and very good friend, Dennis Smith, to periodically provide some communication to you so that you were aware of our continuing efforts. He has done so as often as possible and each update has been personally approved by me.

We have had multiple reasons over the past few weeks to believe funds were to be released sooner rather than later; on each such occasion I have so advised my direct clients as is my custom and practice in such matters. On occasion, what began as a projected schedule of completion became something quite different when repeated several times over. To the extent that such communication was faulty and engendered confusion and/or false hope among you, the fault is entirely mine; please accept my heartfelt apology.

We were optimistic for early resolution; I remain so. Unfortunately, what is early for one is late for another. When we speak of ‘early’ resolution and ‘imminent’ conclusion, we are speaking within the context of the legal profession and of lawsuits in general which, as many of you know, frequently stretch into years. The last thing we intended or wanted is to contribute to shareholder angst and/or emotional ups and downs. We are well aware of both the financial and emotional plight many shareholders are laboring under. As some of you well know, you do not labor alone in such condition.

As Tramp and many others have suggested, this effort is not about CMKX alone. Receipt of the Economic Release will impact, one way or another, the entire financial structure of US and international activities. Once you can accept the truth of that statement, I’m sure that you can understand that it is a highly technical, complex and multi-faceted undertaking. CMKX has a role to play and we are doing our very best to assist in its successful conclusion.

Many of you have asked what they can do to help further “the cause.” A media blitz may become necessary but would serve no real purpose at the moment. In the meantime should anyone feel they want to do something immediately, simply send a brief note and a copy of the complaint to every mainstream news outlet you can think of; in our view more exposure is likely to lead to additional leverage.

Leverage is beneficial to hastening receipt of Economic Release; it is not required and will have no real impact on the litigation. The lawsuit has and is being served on the defendants. As many of you are aware, the SEC’s General Counsel has agreed to accept service on behalf of the five current Commissioners. In the event that this matter has not concluded after all parties have responded in Court, we will initiate our discovery.

I will do as I said I would do; i.e. you will receive an update from me at such time as we have a receipt for Economic Release or I have reached the conclusion that it is not forthcoming in the very near future. In the meanwhile, please try to understand how very difficult and uncertain this particular time is. I and my associates are working very hard to accomplish what some have asked us to do on behalf of all CMKX shareholders.

******ATTENTION CMKX Shareholders****** ******CUSIP # Change For CIM Shares*****

TD Ameritrade has changed the CUSIP # and Name on CIM shares.

Old... 02/18/2010 14:27:18 MANDATORY - CUSIP CHANGE (125809996)
New... 02/18/2010 14:27:18 MANDATORY - CUSIP CHANGE (147990469)

Old Name...
CMKM DIAMONDS INC CASAVANT INTL MINING RSTKD SHS
New Name...
CASAVANT INTL MINING CORP RESTRICTED SHARES

The original 1 for 1 spinout of CIM shares in 2003 had CUSIP # 147990469.
The name was...
CASAVANT INTL MINING CORP RESTRICTED SHARES

The .0256/share dividend of CIM shares in 2004 had the CUSIP # 125809996.
The name was...
CMKM DIAMONDS INC CASAVANT INTL MINING RSTKD SHS

The original CIM spinout shares & the CIM dividend shares were 2 different entries in my Ameritrade account, each with their own CUSIP # for a long time.

Then they were combined into 1 entry with the dividend CUSIP # 125809996.
The name was...
CMKM DIAMONDS INC CASAVANT INTL MINING RSTKD SHS

Now it has been changed back to the original spinout CUSIP # 147990469.
The name is now...
CASAVANT INTL MINING CORP RESTRICTED SHARES

Why was this done, and maybe more importantly, why was this done NOW...??

I am waiting for more details from TD Ameritrade.
I will post any new information I receive.

******ATTENTION CMKX Shareholders****** ******An Open Letter To Mr. Al Hodges*****

2/18/2010

Dear Mr. Hodges,

The Non-Update Update was considerate, but worthless.

Just about everyone involved in this has said to wait to hear something from you.
Bob has been saying you will update us soon, since February 1st.
Dennis has said don't listen to any rumors or sources...
Wait to hear from Al.

We still haven't heard from you.

I do appreciate your efforts, and I know I don't have all the information you have.

However... It should not be mutually exclusive to provide shareholders with some kind of update that actually contains real information about our current status, and not reveal our double-secret-probation strategy to the opposition.

Shareholders are being misled by statements made by some of the plaintiffs, mostly because their information is supposed to be coming from you.
Information directly from you would put an end to that problem.

I thank you again for all your efforts on our behalf, but shareholders really need to have some idea if this lawsuit is going to take weeks or months or years.

Sincerely,
Tony Bo.

Non-Update Update

Fellow Shareholders,

Al and I are well aware of the perceived need for an “update” from this office; however there is still nothing salient or juicy or final to share one way or the other, at least at this moment. Al’s position for some time has been that as long as things are fluid and “in process” he would have no formal update to the shareholder base, preferring to hold formal “news” until release of shareholder funds has irrevocably taken place or conversely, until he was convinced it wasn’t going to happen in a timely manner. The “process” continues, nothing is yet “etched in stone” and accordingly, there is no definitive Update.

As for the “rumors”, IMO that’s precisely what they are, well-meaning or not as the case may be. I’m continually reminded of the Psychology 1A experiment where one class member is told a story or a set of facts and is asked to pass the info on to a fellow class member who in turn is asked to pass it on etc., and by the time the story gets around the room it is largely indistinguishable from the original.

I would again caution everyone not to count their un-hatched chickens. While it indeed may turn out to be the proverbial bet or “stock play of a lifetime” and pay off “shortly”, there is always Murphy’s Law to deal with, not to mention the Law of Unintended Consequence. IMO, the most reasonable posture at the moment is to remain cautiously optimistic, hoping for the best but at the same time getting on with everyday business.

Regards,

Dennis Smith
