The critical and specialty minerals box score for Tuesday was a bleak 56-126-128 as the TSX Venture Exchange fell 25 points to 966. Vanguard Mining Corp. (UUU), a copper and molybdenum explorer in southwestern British Columbia, fell three cents to 23 cents on 1.49 million shares today. Pure Energy Minerals Ltd. (PE), a lithium explorer in Nevada, slumped nine cents to 28 cents on 114,000 shares in silence today, wiping out nearly two months of equally quiet gains.

Dean Hanisch's Stria Lithium Inc. (SRA) is seeking $1-million through the sale of 2.38 million shares at 42 cents apiece -- a price last seen in early January. Further, each share comes with a full warrant, exercisable at 52 cents. Despite the discount, Stria's stock gained two cents to 54 cents on the news Friday, and it bucked the market trend today, adding one cent to 55 cents on 21,000 shares. The cash, the company says, is for "advancement of the company's mineral exploration assets and operations, potential future acquisitions, and general working capital purposes" -- most anything in other words.
