The critical and specialty minerals stocks box score was a 91-91-128 draw on Wednesday as the TSX Venture Exchange fell 18 points to 967. Grant Mourre's SPC Nickel Corp. (SPC) rose one cent to nine cents on 617,000 shares as it began its summer exploration program on the Muskox copper, nickel and platinum group element project in Nunavut.

This new effort builds on data collected last year, which showed dozens of high-priority electromagnetic conductors across the Muskox intrusion and its 60-kilometre-long feeder dike. And now drilling, you think? No, not yet. The new effort is focused on generating high-quality drill-ready targets along the intrusion and feeder dike, the company says. And so, look for ground geophysics, ground truthing, field mapping and prospecting -- a bunch of geophysicists milling about with fancy equipment while rock hounds draw maps and bang on rocks, in other words.

Mr. Mourre, president and chief executive officer, says the 2026 program "represents a pivotal year for the Muskox project." Work last year, he cheers, "significantly advanced our understanding of the actual scale and quality of the Muskox system," while the coming ground geophysics will "build directly on that foundation, focusing on the most compelling conductors to deliver the basis for a comprehensive, structured drill program."
