The critical and specialty minerals stocks box score was a weak 62-113-145 Friday as the TSX Venture Exchange fell four points to 798. Kurt Budge's Leading Edge Materials Corp. (LEM) dropped one-half cent to 17 cents on 74,000 shares. The company has completed a five-hole, 893-metre first-pass drill program at its Woxna project in central Sweden, testing the Rattjarnamyren target and the eastern extension of the Kringeltjarn target, outside the existing Kringelgruvan mine. (Finland called -- it could use some of those consonants.)

One hole at Kringeltjarn East intersected two near-surface graphite-bearing intervals, one spanning 13.4 metres, the other 11.73 metres, with the latter yielding larger flakes of graphite. At Rattjarnamyren, a hole hit multiple graphite intervals at shallower than expected depths, supporting an interpretation of a relatively shallow-dipping graphite-bearing unit that appears to extend toward Svartboberget.
