The diamond and specialty minerals stocks box score for Wednesday was a so-so 77-69-164 as the TSX Venture Exchange fell fractionally to 702. Adam Lundin and Dr. William Lamb's Lucara Diamond Corp. (LUC) lost one-half cent to 23.5 cents on 141,000 shares today, revisiting its all-time low as investors await the sale of two mammoth diamonds mined at Karowe, in Botswana.

James Nelson's Spearmint Resources Inc. (SPMT) lost one-half cent to one cent on 197,000 shares. The company says it will roll back its stock 1:10 and change both its name and ticker -- subject to the usual approvals of course. When that rejigging will occur remains unclear, as is the reason for the rebranding. The company holds a plethora of exploration projects -- just not as many as it did a year ago. The current list includes the Elon, McGee and Clayton Ridge lithium projects in Nevada and the Sisson North tungsten and George Lake South antimony prospects, both in New Brunswick.
