Fugro Airborne Survey Update

We are pleased to inform that the Fugro Airborne Survey has been launched and is currently underway. Casavant Mining has received updates as to progress of the aerial survey on the 700,000 acres at the Fort A La Corne Project. On Feb. 26 and 27 Fugro crew was mobilized and approximately 892 kms of data was collected of the 11,380 kms contracted at this time. Fugro Airborne Surveys is currently using advanced Geotem Technology to identify any kimberlite presence on the company's claims.

Casavant Mining shall be informed, on a daily basis, in respect to the progress of the survey; the shareholders shall also be informed as to updates on a frequent basis.

There is no guarantee, however, that the survey will identify kimberlite pipes. Even if numerous kimberlite pipes are identified, there is no guarantee that any such kimberlite pipes will contain diamonds.

Correction

Press releases on Feb. 19 and 20 mentioned "claims surrounding the De Beers diamond mine at Fort A La Corne"; in fact, they should have read "De Beers diamond exploration project."
