The critical and specialty minerals stocks box score for Thursday was a healthy 94-65-151 as the TSX Venture Exchange edged three points higher to 922. Most critical and specialty minerals stocks moved little on what was a typically slow American Thanksgiving holiday. Oh, there were a few: Future Fuels Inc. (FTUR), for instance, added six cents to 79 cents on 458,000 shares in silence.

Yannis Tsitos's Troy Minerals Inc. (TROY) closed unchanged at 10.5 cents on 134,000 shares. The company has assays from its 2025 exploration program at its Table Mountain silica project, near Golden in southeastern British Columbia. A total of 45 channel samples were collected and analyzed, resulting in silicon oxide grades of up to nearly 99 and 44-100ths per cent -- Ivory pure, for those old enough to recall the old television ads for bar soap. (The average silica assay was 98.59 per cent.)

Mr. Tsitos, president, was predictably "very pleased reporting these ... results from our summer field program," as they "confirmed once more the exceptional quality and consistency of surficial silica mineralization across the northwestern part of the project." Further, Mr. Tsitos enthused, the assays, "collectively with other existing geochemical results, provide the necessary information for Troy to refine the 2026 drilling campaign at Table Mountain."
