The diamond and specialty minerals stocks box score for Tuesday was an 81-81-148 draw as the TSX Venture Exchange dipped two points to 905. Ken Johnson's Lipari Mining Ltd. (LML) remains a thin trader: It added 10 cents to 40 cents on 45,000 shares -- counting all 80 trades made last week. Still, it is not for want of trying: The company is mining diamonds at Brauna in Brazil, wants to do the same with the far larger Tchiuzo kimberlite in Angola, and now has a new idea for selling its rough diamonds.

On Thursday, the company said it had signed a letter of intent with SpurChain Technologies Inc., which it describes as a Canadian blockchain infrastructure company specializing in real-world tokenization. Clear as mud? Well, it is arguably clearer than the technological goop SpurChain offers as boilerplate: The Waterloo-based company is supported by a national network of sovereign data centres with a generative power capacity of 100 megawatts and up to $1-billion of assets under management, allowing it to provide secure, interoperable systems for regulated industries seeking to modernize transparency, sustainability and operational trust across real-world assets.
