Melfort Journal — De Beers Canada is distancing itself from CMKM Diamonds Inc. after rumours that De Beers was considering the purchase of CMKM's holdings in the Fort a la Corne area.
Various postings and discussions surrounding the sale have been found on finance-based Internet chat rooms over the past few months, but De Beers said that there is no truth to the rumours at all.
"I am aware that there has been a number of statements made on (Internet) bulletin boards about De Beers and Casavant (CMKM)," said Linda Dorrington, manager of public and corporate affairs for De Beers Canada.
"I can assure you that De Beers has completely distanced itself from any of the comments that appear on these bulletin boards," Dorrington added.
The Melfort Journal has also received several e-mails over the past few weeks regarding inquiries about a possible De Beers/CMKM land purchase.
"We have gotten a lot of e-mails as well asking us. (The rumours) seem to be gathering steam with more and more interest and I am actually having a statement drafted that is a disclaimer to distance De Beers from this company and any of the statements made on these bulletin boards or chat rooms," explained Dorrington.
Asked how these rumours started, Dorrington was at a loss.
"I don't know when it all originated, I am just aware of them. We are tracking these comments, but I can assure you that there is no truth to them," Dorrington stated.
