The critical and specialty minerals box score for Tuesday was a bleak 53-123-134 as the TSX Venture Exchange slid 19 points to 944. Copper Giant Resources Corp. (CGNT) was last heard from early this month when it set out to raise over $30-million in support of advancing its big Mocoa copper and molybdenum project in Colombia, but it continues to percolate in the market. The company's stock, which spent most of the year trading near the 80-cent mark, dipped two cents to $1.19 on 3.32 million shares today.

Eric Sprott already has a tidy profit with his latest investment. A week ago, Ran Narayanasamy's Max Power Mining Corp. (MAXX) cheered that Mr. Sprott was buying four million shares at $2.50 apiece, with the $10-million slated to support the company's commercial validation drill program at its Lawson hydrogen project in south-central Saskatchewan. Now, Mr. Narayanasamy, Max Power's chief executive officer, cheers that the placement has closed. Max Power added another 25 cents to $3 on 2.25 million shares on the news Monday, giving Mr. Sprott a $2-million gain on paper.
