The critical and specialty minerals box score for Tuesday was a solid 103-72-135 as the TSX Venture Exchange leapt 11 points to 892. Surge Battery Metals Inc. (NILI) lived up to its name, adding four cents to 52 cents on 2.45 million shares in silence -- at least since Friday, when the company applauded conditional approval for its planned joint venture with Evolution Mining Ltd. at Nevada North, a lithium project in northeastern Nevada. Li-FT Power Ltd. (LIFT), on the other hand, lost six cents to $4.71 on 81,000 shares on the quiet.

Grant Mourre's SPC Nickel Corp. (SPC) jumped three cents to 6.5 cents on 6.98 million shares Monday on word of high-grade surface sampling assays from its Muskox project in western Nunavut. The headline hit came from the Equinox target, where a grab sample assayed 18.15 per cent copper, 0.06 per cent nickel and -- hold your hats -- 114.44 grams of platinum group elements (PGE) and 13.8 grams of silver per tonne, a metals smorgasbord that works out to 70.6 per cent copper equivalent.
