Urbans Vision/Dreams
This is a news article from December 9, 2002 that I was thinking about as I was travelling today. I could not wait to come home home to dig it up and read it again. I think the following paragraph in that article says a whole lot.
www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2002_Dec_9/ai_95086487
Urban Casavant Chairman stated that "both the European Union and the U.S. governments are actively legislating against the sale of "conflict diamonds" which are sometimes referred to as "blood diamonds." Since the U.S. represents 65% of the world market for gem quality diamonds, the issue of "conflict diamonds" is something we cannot ignore. Our diamonds come from Canada and other conflict free diamond sources throughout the world. We plan on mining diamonds from our own deposits and buying conflict free diamonds at wholesale. We will merchandise these diamonds under the "Casavant" brand name. Both retailers and consumers can place their trust that a "Casavant" diamond is conflict free; mined in an ethical and environmentally friendly manner; and represent the highest in quality and value. We plan on becoming involved in the entire sales chain in diamond merchandising with the view of becoming the largest wholesaler of Canadian diamonds not just a mining company. This provides our shareholders with a more balanced investment opportunity and gives us income stream while we are developing our Saskatchewan diamondiferous kimberlite claims."
We are a witness to Urbans Vision/Dreams unfolding before our very eyes. Some have so many questions that there seems to be no definite answers to at this time.
You can read some of these frustrations shareholders have, here on this board. It is not so much what you post, but the style you present that post to the other members of this forum.
Some of us will see many of our dreams come true if we just have the patience.
