The critical and specialty minerals stocks box score was a middling 89-83-138 on Wednesday as the TSX Venture Exchange fell one point to 1,016. PMET Resources Inc. (PMET), last heard from a week ago when it cheered that it was advancing its "flagship Shaakichiuwaanaan project toward [the] next development tier," added 26 cents to $7.72 on 1.29 million shares today. PMET, previously Patriot Battery Metals Inc., renamed its Corvette lithium project the tough-to-pronounce Shaakichiuwaanaan in mid-2024. (That new moniker was PMET reaching its current development tier -- bending the knee to those who could make things difficult.)

Terry Tucker's Southstone Minerals Ltd. (SML), halted at one sad cent late in 2023, carries on with its little alluvial diamond mine at Oena, in northwestern South Africa. The company's subsidiary, African Star Minerals Pty. Ltd., held two auctions of Oena diamonds during the current quarter, which ends with May, selling a total of 1,043 carats for $2.08-million (U.S.), an average of just under $2,000 (U.S.) per carat.
