LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 31, 2005--
CMKM Diamonds Inc. (Pink Sheets: CMKX) is pleased to
announce that Robert A. Maheu has joined the board of directors of the
company. Maheu will serve as the co-chairman of the board of directors
and will assist Mr. Casavant in the immediate and long-term objectives
of the company.

"In the company's agenda for 2005, it has become paramount to
bring in individuals and companies that can make significant
contributions to the company. As the company begins to accomplish
short-term goals, we decided to bring in an individual who can
manifest an atmosphere for success. Mr. Maheu is that man," stated
Casavant, chairman of CMKM Diamonds Inc.

Maheu is probably most famous for his role with Howard R. Hughes.
Maheu served as the alter ego to Hughes. Maheu negotiated for the
purchase of many Nevada properties on behalf of Hughes and the Hughes
Tool Co. As a consequence, seven hotel/casinos, one airport and
millions of dollars of raw land were acquired. In each case, Maheu
became the chief operating officer. Additionally, he was responsible
for the acquisition of an airline. He also represented the Hughes'
interests before local, county, state and national regulatory bodies
for many years. At an earlier time in his life, Maheu served as
supervisor of the administrative section of the New York City Federal
Bureau of Investigation Office and special assistant to Assistant
Director E.J. Connelly, who was in charge of major cases for the
entire Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Throughout his life, Maheu and Robert A. Maheu & Associates served
as an advisor(s) to many great men and companies throughout the
history of America. Westinghouse, World Tankers Inc., Stavros
Niarchos, Del E. Webb Corp., Schenley Distributors, United Steel
Workers of America, Hughes Tool Co., Hughes Aircraft, Theta-Com of
California, Howard R. Hughes, Leisure Industries Ltd., Jayhawk
Industries, International Business Associates Inc., Shaheen Resources,
MacMillian-Ring Free Oil Co., Pacific Investments, Expo-Tech,
Exploration Co. of Louisiana, New Orleans Steamboat Co., Greyhound
Exposition Services, Central Intelligence Agency, Global Intelligence
Network, Las Vegas Investment Advisors Inc., Paradigm Gaming Systems,
Konami Gaming Inc., Sunbelt Communications and Castle Rock Pictures
Inc. are some of the companies. To list all of Maheu's accomplishments
would turn this brief announcement into a novel.

Casavant and Maheu will together be looking into the company and
setting forth exactly what CMKM Diamonds needs to do in order to be
successful in its current endeavors. The two look to bring in a
president to the company that has successful history in geology and
mining of natural resources.

[Bart]

;D ;D

All should be ready for the nay sayers to inform us that Robert A. Maheu is 87 years old. Just wanted to let you all know before they hit us heavy and hard. I for one think this is a big positive. I myself just trust older people more. Sorry to the younger generation. I do feel he is a great find for us.

;D ;D

[johnnystar]

About his being old, he's probably a figurehead. Lends credibility, on the heels of a Howard Hughes movie and everything.

Also, to address the quiet period, "As the company begins to accomplish short-term goals" I think that's telling.

LOOKING BACK
Howard Hughes aide recalls colorful career
CORRECTION ON 05/06/00 -- Because of reporting errors, a Tuesday story on Robert Maheu was incorrect. Maheu has three sons and a daughter, and his company, Maheu and Associates, focuses on negotiations and consultations.

By Jan Hogan
lasvegas.com Gaming Wire

Though he's not one to lament the past, Robert Maheu admits he has one major regret.
Maheu, who became Howard Hughes' alter ego as the billionaire became increasing reclusive in the 1960s, said, "The biggest regret of my life is not grabbing Howard Hughes with my two hands, shaking him by the shoulders and saying, `Enough is enough.' "
As Hughes' alter ego, Maheu arranged his deals and served as a political liaison. Their association, conducted via phone or messages because of Hughes' ever-escalating germ phobia, spanned more than 10 years.
Today Maheu oversees a company he began in 1954, which conducts investigative work for major corporations. Now based in Las Vegas, Robert A. Maheu and Associates specializes in casino-related work, advising companies on the viability of entering foreign markets, providing background checks on principals and suggesting risk avoidance strategies. Maheu's work has taken him around the world and has brought him face to face with world leaders and business tycoons.
Now in his 80s, Maheu has given much of the operating control of his company to his partners, but he still involves himself in the business. Most recently, he served as a consultant for the Continental hotel-casino and briefly served as a director for the Stratosphere until Carl Icahn took it over.
Maheu grew up in Waterville, Maine, earned his degree and joined the FBI just as war was brewing in Europe. He posed undercover as a German sympathizer and was involved in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro. After seven years with the FBI, he formed his investigative company. His early work was much like his FBI days. "The CIA was my first steady client, giving me `cut-out' assignments (those jobs in which the agency could not officially be involved)."
Through his business, Maheu began serving as Howard Hughes' consultant in the early 1960s and moved to Las Vegas in 1966. Because their communications were entirely by phone or message, Maheu did not see how quickly the billionaire was failing, but he did know the frustration of dealing with him.
"When he came here, he wanted to tie up all the property on the Strip to develop it properly. He didn't want it to be honky-tonk or like Coney Island," he said. "Hughes was a catalyst in the city cleaning up its act."
He said Hughes had vision, but he could never have been a true powerhouse in Las Vegas.
"He reached a point where he was incapable of making a simple decision," Maheu said.
Hughes became ill in 1970 and left the Desert Inn under mysterious circumstances that year. Just as mysterious is a much-contested handwritten letter in which Hughes stripped Maheu of all power. Though stunned by the turn of events, Maheu resolved "not to look back" and focused on his own business. "I'm happier now than I've ever been."
Maheu commented that Hughes, an aviation innovator, would "be in ecstasy" over a proposed cargo airport located in the Ivanpah Valley, 20 miles from Las Vegas.
Maheu says projects like the airport indicate Las Vegas has not yet peaked. "It has dynamics, it has capable people who are far-thinking," he said.
"If Hughes could have seen what's been developed on the Strip, he would be satisfied how it turned out. But -- he could never have done it himself."

Just think how many millionaire or billionaire friends this guy has not to mention do you think he would waste his last yrs (hope he lives to over a hundred) on something that isn't going anywhere. Got the tingling going on inside just thinking about the new mercedes that is getting closer to parking in my driveway.

Here is a telling little part of the PR that some may have missed in the excitement.

"In the company's agenda for 2005, it has become paramount to
bring in individuals and companies that can make significant
contributions to the company. As the company begins to accomplish
short-term goals, we decided to bring in an individual who can
manifest an atmosphere for success. Mr. Maheu is that man," stated

((To bring in individual's and companies. I smell more divy's.))

[bridgeburner]

He brings 87 yrs. of knowledge with him how can that be bad

[bridgeburner]

He brings 87 yrs. of knowledge with him how can that be bad plus money

[stevpot99]

[Bart]

;D ;D

With 87 years of knowledge. It is only great news. But I promise you. Some will try to say he is on his death bed and degrad this PR for that reason. With 87 years of experience he can make a great contribution to CMKX. He is just what the doctor ordered. Now we need to fill that presidents job with a very highly respected person in the mining field.
