The diamond and specialty minerals stocks box score for Friday was an upbeat 72-55-137. The TSX Venture Exchange gained three points to 779 while polished diamond prices edged higher. Larry Reaugh's American Manganese Inc. (AMY) jumped 4.5 cents to 23.5 cents on 3.2 million shares on word that its plan to recycle lithium-based material from lithium-ion batteries is going well. The company plans to file for patents in November.

Chris Taylor's Dunnedin Ventures Inc. (DVI), up two cents to 21 cents on 110,000 shares, has added 42,128 hectares to its Kahuna diamond project north of Rankin Inlet in Nunavut, expanding the project to just over 166,000 hectares. Mr. Taylor, president and chief executive officer, says the new ground is prospective for both gold and diamonds, apparently continuing his attempt to use Kahuna as a diamond exploration project with Dunnedin, and as a gold prospect through a spin-off company, the latter of which he revealed nearly a year ago and last mentioned in June.
