CMKM Diamonds Inc. is a company involved in the exploration for diamonds in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
Exploration is being aggressively pursued within the Fort á la Corne area in central Saskatchewan, where the company holds mineral claims to more than 1.4 million acres.
One of the largest known kimberlite clusters in the world. 130 of the 2000 kimberlite pipes known worldwide are macro-diamond bearing. 23 of these are located in the Fort a la Corne district of Saskatchewan. 80% of Saskatchewans' kimberlite pipes are diamondiferous. 50% contain diamonds over one millimeter in size. A high percentage of diamonds recovered are clear, inclusion-free and exhibit good crystal form. Pipes said to have erupted under inland sea and therefore have not been exposed to weathering or glaciation. Pipes lie within 300 feet of surface. Area accessible by paved all-weather road, with water and power readily available. Studies indicate cash operating costs of $10.50 per tonne, including overburden removal. Saskatchewan government encourages mining in the province.
