The diamond and specialty minerals stocks box score for Wednesday was a positive 95-87-128 as the TSX Venture Exchange reclaimed 12 points to 900. Jean-Raymond Boulle and Ewan Mason's Star Diamond Corp. (DIAM) continues to sit becalmed in the doldrums of prefeasibility -- an eagerly awaited study that is still about a year away. And so, Star continues to oscillate near the four-cent mark: Today it added one-half cent to four cents on 924,000 shares.

Kristien Davenport's Vanadiumcorp Resource Inc. (VRB) was one of a few juniors to gain ground on a bleak Tuesday, when it added two cents to 28.5 cents on 78,000 shares. The company said it was arranging to sell 2.33 million flow-through shares at 30 cents and 2.8 million regular shares at 25 cents, seeking a total of $1.4-million. The cash is for "critical mineral exploration and metallurgical testing on the company's wholly owned mineral properties, as well as working capital and general corporate purposes," it says.
