The diamond and specialty minerals stocks box score for Tuesday was a weak 71-94-145 as the TSX Venture Exchange rose five points to 599. Ewan Mason and George Read's Star Diamond Corp. (DIAM), still without the cash needed to reach prefeasibility, is now bouncing off another new low. Today, it failed to bounce, ending the day down one cent to three cents on 107,000 shares.

Misty Urbatsch's Core Nickel Corp. (CNCO) lost one cent to 18.5 cents on 101,000 shares. The company cheers -- "excited to announce" in its words -- that airborne electromagnetic surveying has identified 14 targets deemed to be a high priority on its Halfway Lake nickel project in Northern Manitoba. There is no indication of the two locales that the lake is equidistant from, but Core enthuses that its project is strategically located only 15 kilometres northeast of the inactive Bucko mill. (It is also located -- less strategically, one presumes -- about 100 kilometres southwest of an active mill at Thompson.)
