INFORMATION STATEMENT
AND NOTICE OF ACTIONS TAKEN
BY WRITTEN CONSENT BY THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS

General Information

This information is being provided to the shareholders of Casavant Mining Kimberlite International, Inc. (the "Company"), a Nevada corporation (formerly known as Cyber Mark International, Inc. and formerly engaged in the electronic game industry) in connection with our prior receipt of approval by written consent, in lieu of a special meeting, of the holders of a majority of our common stock authorizing the election of a board of directors; appointment of executive officers; approval and ratification of the Board of Directors resolutions; approval and ratification of amendments to the articles of incorporation and by-laws; approval and ratification of negotiations for the acquisitions of certain public and private companies.

The shareholders holding shares representing in excess of 85.7% of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting of the Company's shareholders, consented in writing to the proposed actions. The Company's Shareholder's called for and consented to this Special Meeting action on January 15, 2003.

The effective date of the election of the new board directors with respect to Urban Casavant, David DeSorneau and Dr. Rupert Perrin, will be immediately and with respect to Messrs. McFadden, Bending, Taulli and Dr. Hutchinson, the effective date will be 20 days after the execution of a definitive plan of merger and acquisition between the Company and Juina Mining Corporation (Pink Sheets "GEMM"), a Nevada corporation, which is expected to occur on or before March 1, 2003. If for any reason the merger with Juina Mining Corporation does not occur, then in said event the individuals nominated and elected may serve in the Director and/or executive officer capacities indicated herein, if mutually agreed to by the parties. If the shareholder action were not adopted by written majority shareholder consent, it would have been necessary for this action to be considered by the Company's shareholders at a special shareholder's meeting convened for the specific purpose of electing successor directors. This process would have taken more time and required the Company to solicit shareholder proxies for that purpose. This action, taken independently by a majority of Company shareholders, was seen as an urgent corporate matter by these majority shareholders.

Prior to November 25, 2002 (which is the effective merger date with the Casavant Mineral Claims (as defined) in Saskatchewan, Canada), the Company reported on its most recent Form 10-QSB (which was dated September 30, 2002) total assets of $344 in cash; total liabilities of ($1,672) for accounts payable; total stockholders' equity ($1,338); and total liabilities and stockholders' equity of $344. This was based on the Company's then current share capitalization which consisted of 500,000,000 shares of common voting stock at $.0001 par value with 352,223,510 shares issued and outstanding. This did not include preferred stock which consisted of 3,000,000 shares at $.001 par value. There was 1 share of preferred stock issued and outstanding. The Company further reported that it had experienced no sales; no revenues, and no operating expenses during the period. Further, in the auditor's notes, it reflected that the Company had been incorporated in Delaware on June 9, 1998 and that it had been subsequently reorganized on September 30, 2001. Thereafter, the Company changed from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada corporation on April 18, 2002. Articles of conversion from Delaware to Nevada were filed on that date. Articles of Incorporation in Nevada were filed on April 19, 2002. The full text of the Form 10-QSB dated September 30, 2002 should be read in its entirety and the summary above reflects only certain selected information and it is, therefore, not intended as a complete discussion of the Company's condition.

This majority shareholder action will permit the Company to continue to take actions necessary to effectuate the November 25, 2002 merger with the Casavant Mineral Claims, including but not limited to, steps necessary to promote its new diamond exploration, mining, branding, merchandising, and mergers and acquisition endeavors. In addition, the majority shareholder action will permit the Company to conclude negotiations with Juina Mining Corporation and other public and private companies in the mineral resource industry, including but not limited to, diamonds, gold and other metals such as zinc.

The elimination of the need for a special meeting of the shareholders to, in this case, elect directors and ratify certain amendments to the articles of incorporation and bylaws, is authorized by Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, (the "Nevada Law") as confirmed by the Opinion of Counsel. This Section provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less that the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on a matter were present and voted, may be substituted for the special meeting. According to this Section 78.320 of the Nevada Law, a majority of the outstanding shares of voting capital stock entitled to vote on the matter is required in order to, among other things, elect directors. In order to eliminate the delays in time and costs involved in holding a special meeting and in order to install a Board of Directors, as early as possible in order to operate the Company, the Company's majority shareholders elected to utilize the written consent of the majority shareholders of the Company in lieu of a calling a special meeting of the shareholders.

The date on which this Information Statement will be sent to the shareholders is on, or about February 17, 2003. The record date established by the majority shareholders for purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Voting Capital Stock of the Company was January 15, 2003, (the "Record Date").

Outstanding Voting Stock of the Company

In order to effectuate the merger with the Casavant Mineral Claims, the majority shareholders' holding more than 51% of the voting shares approved an increase in the authorized capital of the Company from 500,000,000 to 10,000,000,000 with the cancellation of all Preferred shares. Prior to this action, the Company had 3,000,000 Preferred shares authorized with 1 Preferred share issued and outstanding. This Preferred share had been purchased by the majority shareholders in 2001 for $235,000 from the Jarvis Entertainment Group, Inc., thereby giving them voting control of the Company.

On November 25, 2002, the Company's shares were valued at $0.0014 and the Casavant Mineral Claims were valued at over $10,000,000 in situ, but did not include pre-claims exploration, consulting and other expenses incurred (the "Additional Claims Expenses"). These Additional Claims Expenses were valued at $3,000,000 at the time of the merger.

As of the Record Date, there were 7,241,653,404 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The Common Stock constitutes the outstanding class of voting securities of the Company. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one (1) vote on all matters submitted to the shareholders.

(2)   1 hectare equals 2.46 acres with 247, 708 hectares equaling 609,361.68 acres.

(3)   Based on U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar exchange rates, the amounts paid for the claims equals $1,945,987.00 USD as of January 30, 2002 exchange rates, but were valued at $2,000,000 USD on the date of the merger which is November 25, 2002.

(4)   The claims of Morgain Minerals Inc. are under option, but are included.

The claims comprise a substantial and largely contiguous land position in a favorable exploration setting in the vicinity of the Fort a la Corne kimberlite bodies. In all, the properties consist of 636 claims with a total area of 247,708 hectares (611,625 acres). The 5 properties are located in central Saskatchewan within 100 kilometers of the City of Prince Albert and are largely accessible by road. Mineral dispositions in Saskatchewan are administered by the Saskatchewan Industry and Resources ("SIR"). The properties fall entirely within the surveyed portion of the Province of Saskatchewan.

In 2003, expenditures of $2,762,064 Cnd ($1,807,469 USD) will be required to retain the claims. In 2004 and subsequent years (until 2012) the required assessment expenditure will be $2,972,496 ($1,945,133 USD). After ten years, the annual expenditure on the claims increases to $25 Cnd ($16.36 USD) per hectare. Grouping of contiguous claims is allowed to a maximum block size of 10,000 hectares. Reports submitted to the SIR in support of assessment filings are retained on a confidential basis for three years, or until the claims lapse whichever is earlier.

Claims are defined in terms of legal sections or subdivisions. Road allowances, typically 20m in width, fall between the sections and are separate legal entities. In 2001, Saskatchewan Energy and Mines (now Saskatchewan Industry Resources ("SIR") amended the description of mineral claims in the surveyed portion of the Province to allocate road allowances to adjacent claim holders so that claim coverage could be seamless.

The majority shareholders of the Company have taken the following action since the Acquisition Date.

Amended Corporate Charter

The representative office is still pending with no definitive operational date.

CMKI Website

As previously announced on December 12, 2002, the Company was launching a website. The website is currently under construction with no definitive operational date.

Share and Cash Dividend Policy

As previously announced on January 7, 2003, the Company approved a mandatory cash and share dividend policy. At the majority shareholders' meeting it was determined that the dividend policy should be reviewed by the newly elected Board of Directors. Until such review has been completed, there will be no mandatory dividend policy in effect.

Exploration Program 2003

As previously announced on December 2, 2002, the Company was negotiating for a drilling rig and proposed a drilling budget of $8,000,000 Cnd or $5,334,000 USD. At the majority shareholders' meeting it was determined that the Exploration Program for the Company's Casavant Mineral Claims in the Fort a la Corne area would require more than one drilling rig. Pending budget approval, the drilling rig and other equipment necessary for the exploration program will be deferred. The Company believes that it will need an exploration budget of $5,000,000 USD in 2003 for the Casavant Mineral Claims in the Fort a la Corne araa. Of this amount $1,807,469 USD are mandated expenditures by the SIR to retain the claims.

The Exploration Program consists of drilling core samples in the Company's Casavant Mineral Claims in the Fort a la Corne area after reviewing historic air and ground exploration efforts by others. Historically, the presence of diamondiferous kimberlite in Saskatchewan was unknown until Monopros, the Canadian subsidiary of De Beers, discovered an exposure of diamondiferous kimberlites in a regional prospecting program in 1987.

In 1988, Uranerz Exploration and Mining located kimberlites in the Fort a la Corne ares 60 kilometers east of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. The 71 kimberlite bodies were detected after detailed aeromagnetic surveys of the area using the available GSC (1960's era) regional aeromagnetic coverage. The main group of kimberlites is located with the Fort a la Corne Provincial Forest and forms a north-northwest cluster approximately 32 kilometers in length, extending from the Saskatchewan Rive to Highway 55 near Shipman. Smaller outlying kimberlite clusters occur near Weirdale in the West, near Foxford in the north and near Snowden in the northeast. The kimberlite bodies are grouped more densely in the south, and spaced out more irregularly towards the north. A group of very large kimberlite bodies occurs in the southern part of this trend.

During the period 1988 to 2001, Saskatchewan Industry and Resources reports over $59,000,000 in diamond exploration monies being spent by 128 operators. The greatest activity was during 1993 and 1994 with the Snowden south area extension being explored by Cameco De Beers/Kensington JV. Between 1997 and 1999, activities in the major Saskatchewan exploration projects declined. During the same period of time, exploration projects in the Northwest Territories increased due to the discovery of diamondiferous kimberlite bodies.

Neither the Company nor the Casavant Mineral Claims holders have performed kimberlite exploration work on the current properties acquired during the merger. Information on the current properties submitted to the Saskatchewan Industry and Resources by others in fulfillment of assessment requirements may not contain the results of all work actually completed.

Open files at the Saskatchewan Industry and Resources reports 6 aeromagnetic surveys completed within and peripheral to the five properties of interst. Over 90% of the properties were covered by these surveys. The results of the surveys is available from the SIR as paper prints of total contour magnetic field contour maps. In most cases, vertical magnetic gradient contour maps are also available from SIR. The 1990 aeromagnetic surveys indicated broad mag high features which were interpreted as basement-type signatures. The targets were not drilled and the claims were allowed to lapse. The 1993 aeromagnetic surveys had higher quality data set, but was not made available in the public domain in digital form for further processing. However, the contour maps are a useful starting point for further search for subtle anomalies. Ground magnetometer surveys are reported in the SIR Open File with 17 reports and 34 ground mag surveys completed since as early as 1889.

SIR Open Files contain records of 4 prior mineral exploration holes within the Buckshot Holdings Ltd./Commando Holdings Ltd. and 101012190 Saskatchewan Ltd. claims. One hole was drilled by Uranerz in 1992 and the remaining 3 holes were completed by Rhonda Mining in 1993. Other than the 251 drillholes that have been completed on the Fort a la Corne JV kimberlite bodies since 1989, and the 31 drillholes reported to date by Shore Gold at the Star Kimberlite property, an additional 14 exploration holes have been reported by other operators in the vicinity of the 5 properties. Drillhole OFS93-012 in Section 5, Twp 52, Rge 21, W2 (3 kilometers east of Foxford), intersected kimberlite and intercalated sediments in Lower Colorado shales from 179.45 to 211.94 meters. Depth to bedrock was 109.96 meters. The hole ended at 299.0 meters. A 20.77 kilogram sample of kimberlite yielded 3 microdiamonds. Additional kimberlites were intersected by Rhonda Mining Corp. in 1993 with a total of 21 microdiamonds recovered from 100 kilograms of kimberlite at drillhole OFS93-04 (SIR Open File 73H07-0018. However, there were a significant number of drillholes that failed to intersect kimberlites on the 5 properties despite reports filed with the SIR by others of the discovery of diamondniferous kimberlites on peripheral properties.

A 28 page report (not including exhibits) discussing the diamond exploration potential of the five properties was prepared by P. Robertshaw, P. Geo in October 28, 2002 for Fort a la Corne Diamond Fields, Inc. (which is one of the companies acquired by the Company). The full text of this report is attached to this Schedule 14C as an exhibit. The majority shareholders approved a full review of the Robertshaw Report before embarking on the Company's exploration program. It was further noted by the majority shareholders that new magnetic and non-magnetic testing procedures should be reviewed by management in connection with the Casavant Mineral Claims in the Fort a la Corne area as part of their overall review of the Robertshaw Report historical exploration data on file with the SIR.

Private Placement Financings

The majority shareholders approved the Company's private placement financing which to date has raised $2,000,000 through the sale of 560,000,000 common voting shares at $0.0143 per share. The proceeds have been used to pay for the monies due under the terms of the Casavant Mineral Claims Merger Agreement and to secure general operating capital for the Company. The Company issued the shares in an exempt transaction to certain accredited investors. As further consideration, the investors were assigned a 2% Net Profit Interest Royalty or "NPI Royalty" as defined in the Casavant Mineral Claims Merger Agreement. All of the shares issued were issued under Rule 144.

In addition, the majority shareholders approved the Company's time-shared acquisition on December 30, 2002 of an ancient Chinese jade collection appraised by experts at $50,000,000 in return for 500,000,000 common voting shares. The Company believes that the jade collection will provide it with both a $50,000,000 asset base for reporting purposes and it will also serve as the centerpiece for a traveling jade museum show in venues throughout North America, including Las Vegas, NV (where major hotels and casinos have offered world master artwork collections, treasuries of the Russian Czars, treasurers from the Titanic, and motorcycle collections as revenue generating tourist attractions.
