(TSX TSX Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE before April, 2002) TSX Transfer from Stack Pointer to Index TSX True Space Extension VENTURE:CMA CMA - Concert Multithread Architecture from DEC. )(OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :CRMXF) ("Cream") is pleased to report that it has now formally filed the Technical Report on Alluvial Diamond Properties EPL 1. EPL - Early PL/I. 2. EPL - Experimental Programming Language. 3. EPL - Eden Programming Language. U Washington. Based on Concurrent Euclid and used with the Eden distributed OS. Influenced Emerald and Distributed Smalltalk. 1/94 and EPL 5/94 (also referred to as "Casierra Properties") in Sierra Leone Sierra Leone (sēĕr`ə lēō`nē, lēōn`; sēr`ə lēōn), officially Republic of Sierra Leone, republic (2005 est. pop. 6,018,000), 27,699 sq mi (71,740 sq km), W Africa. . The report was written by Mr. Charles K. Ikona, P. Eng., of Pamicon Developments Ltd., dated May 12, 2005, and is now posted on the Company's website www.creamminerals.com. A preliminary summary of the report's contents was released in the Cream Minerals Ltd. news release on April 19, 2005. The first phase exploration programs on the Hima River Lease and the offshore Lease have now been essentially completed, at lower costs than expected. The phase 1 Banka Drill Program on the Hima River lease was budgeted at US$350,000 and the phase I Marine Magnetometer Survey on the offshore lease was budgeted at US$175,500, with results pending. It should be emphasized that no recovery of diamonds is anticipated from the Banka drilling, according to Mr. Ikona. The drills being used have 6-inch diameter drive shoes, which produce a theoretical volume of 0.00670 cubic yards of material per foot of penetration into the gravels. Assuming an average gravel depth of 3 feet, samples should then be about 0.02 cubic yards in volume, which is not great enough to ensure that any values present will be indicated. In fact, should any diamonds be recovered, they must not be used to assign any values to the gravels, as the multiplication factor used in converting from the small sample size to cubic yards would indicate an impossibly high number. Material recovered from drilling will be examined for trace minerals, possibly indicative of alluvial diamonds, and used as a guide for bulk tests. The Company believes that the Sierra Leone diamond project may be fast tracked to production. The Hima license (EPL 1/94) on the Sewa River may represent a finite source of alluvial diamonds estimated at 1,800,000 carats ("Hall, 1966"), which has never been commercially mined. The NWT NWT or N.W.T. abbr. Northwest Territories NWT Northwest Territories (of Canada) Diamond Industry Report for world diamond prices for 1999 shows the average price for Sierra Leone "rough" as US$240/carat, well above the world average price of US$68/carat.
