The diamond and specialty minerals stocks box score for Thursday was a ho-hum 80-64-166 as the TSX Venture Exchange jumped 15 points to 773. Is it possible that Ewan Mason and Jean-Raymond Boulle's Star Diamond Corp. (DIAM) has found a new perch? The company's stock has been stuck like a housefly to a glue strip -- frantic buzzing about but no movement -- but it got to 6.5 cents earlier this week, a price last seen two months ago. Or maybe not: The stock buzzed feverishly but closed unchanged at six cents on 1.07 million shares today.

Kristien Davenport's Vanadiumcorp Resource Inc. (VRB), which lost one cent to 15 cents on 29,000 shares, is seeking $500,000 through the sale of 4.54 million shares at 11 cents apiece. This is the same financing that the company misspoke as a $440,000 placement a month ago -- a price suggesting the company had looked to offer 4.4 million shares at 10 cents. (Vanadiumcorp did not correct its math until now.)
