The diamond and specialty minerals stocks box score for Tuesday was a positive 70-60-180 as the TSX Venture Exchange rose nine points to 812. It apparently takes a lot to move Star Diamond Corp. (DIAM) these days. Star closed down one-half cent to four cents on 982,000 shares Monday despite word that its chairman, president and chief executive officer, Ewan Mason, is retiring. Mr. Mason arrived as a director in 2017 and became chairman in early 2019.
