Blue Diamond Ventures, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BLDV) -- Blue Diamond Ventures, through its affiliate Blue Diamond Renewables, LLC, has identified key next-level funding sources for its interest of the proposed 198-megawatt wind project, plus 68 miles of transmission line in Huerfano County, Colorado.

Last year, wind study results for the joint venture's Huerfano Project -- proposed on more than 8,000 acres -- came back highly favorable -- with wind speeds representing some of the best in Colorado. The data for the project is available at: http://www.engr.colostate.edu/ALP/ALP_62_Sheep_Mountain.htm.

"We have essentially taken a project from being a good business plan and strategically moved it toward actualization and implementation, which is not easy," said Blue Diamond CEO John Quincey Moaning. "Bringing inherent value is paramount when you are seeking next-level financing."

To date, Blue Diamond Renewables, LLC, has been the principal funding source for the proposed $420 million project in Southern Colorado, financing the wind studies analyzed by Karbon Zero, LLC, interconnection feasibility and site studies for GI-2008-6 interconnection request with the Public Service Company of Colorado, and PSCo generation interconnection request (GI 2008-6) for 198 MW intertie, thus, securing the current #1 queue position at San Luis Valley Substation.

Along with identifying key markets in California to sell the power, Blue Diamond Ventures has also covered costs for legal services, consultants and other fee requirements.

Moaning further added, "If America's economy is to recover and sustain, our business model must be developed around energy. This will require, in most cases, unpopular leadership, focus, determination and the bold resolve to bring America into the 21st Century -- despite them kicking and screaming."

Blue Diamond said it is also proceeding with its proposed renewable energy projects in the Caribbean and Africa.
