The diamond and specialty minerals stocks box score for Tuesday was a ho-hum 94-101-115 as the TSX Venture Exchange rose one point to 623. Ewan Mason's Star Diamond Corp. (DIAM) closed unchanged at 10.5 cents on 145,000 shares.

The company, officially under new management since the start of 2023 and unofficially for at least a few months before that, is ramping up its promotion after several quiet years under the direction of former president and chief executive officer, Ken MacNeill.
