HOUSTON, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/10/07 -- Blue Diamond Ventures, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BLDV)
announced today the company will be featured on "World Business Review"
Television series, hosted by General Norman Schwarzkopf, as part of the

The segment, scheduled for taping in late June, will examine enzyme
technology in bio-diesel production, along with an added perspective from
industry expert Roger Ballentine.
"The current attention and concerns on the effects of Global Warming,
escalating fuel costs and dependency on imports to meet energy needs today
and into the future all point to the validation of increased attention to
alternative fuel development," said Jay Crosby, Senior Coordinating
Producer of "World Business Review." "My research of the industry worldwide
led me to the efforts of John Moaning and Blue Diamond. The unique
technology of Blue Diamond is a viable effort to meet the challenges of
these important and imperative concerns."
"Given the enormous challenges within the energy sector and world food
supply, along with looming worldwide water shortages, I think the
