VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 5, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Entourage Mining Ltd. (the "Company") (OTCBB:ETGMF) wishes to announce that the Company has made the decision to terminate its agreement with CMKM Diamonds, Inc. and Nevada Minerals, Inc. dated October 20, 2005, whereby the Company was to acquire an interest in the Forte Diamond Property in Saskatchewan in exchange for the issuance of 5,000,000 of its common shares.
The Agreement was first announced on October 20, 2005.
The Company decided to terminate the Agreement in part because it appeared, after due diligence, that it was not possible for other parties to the Agreement to perform their obligations under its terms. The Agreement is also being terminated in part because of the financial burden (as much as Cdn $400,000) that it appeared the Company would have to spend to maintain the claims comprising the Forte Diamond Property and the likelihood that other interest holders in the Forte Property did not have the financial resources to make similar expenditures.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
"Paul Shatzko"
Paul Shatzko, Director
