The critical and specialty minerals stocks box score on Monday was a positive 97-83-130 as the TSX Venture Exchange rose nine points to 1,020. Scandium Canada Ltd. (SCD), a busy trader and a busier promotion of late, rose one-half cent to 14.5 cents on 4.34 million shares today. The company is cheering along its Crater Lake scandium project in Northern Quebec. Scandium Canada did have news today -- if granting its promoters some stock options can be considered news.

Aleem Fidai's Cullinan Metals Corp. (CMT) rose five cents to 35 cents on 6,000 shares. The company has acquired an option to earn a 100-per-cent interest in two new projects -- the 2,550-hectare Oculus rare earth project in central Labrador and the 975-hectare Burnt Pond volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) project in central Newfoundland. Cullinan must make staged payments of up to $675,000 and 5.25 million shares over a three-year period, and it must spend $700,000 on exploration over the same stretch.
