The diamond and specialty minerals stocks box score for Tuesday was a positive 71-66-173 as the TSX Venture Exchange rose one point to 712. Ewan Mason's Star Diamond Corp. (DIAM) lost one-half cent to five cents on 412,000 shares. The company is still marking time until it can get at all the cash promised by Jean-Raymond Boulle and his Spirit Resources SARL, but Mr. Mason, chairman and chief executive officer, is cheering his mammoth diamond project in central Saskatchewan along as best he can.

He had little new to say -- it having been said time and again over the past three years since Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Inc. halted work on the project and exited the joint venture. (After fumbling around for nearly two years in the dark, Rio found the door: It gave its 75-per-cent interest in the project, some equipment and some cash back to Star Diamond in exchange for 108 million Star shares.)
