David Sidoo's Advantage Lithium Corp. (AAL) fell five cents to $1.05 on 4.62 million shares. Since mid-October, when a share cost just 58 cents, the stock has been trading busily thanks to good news from its Cauchari lithium brine project in Argentina.
Lukas Lundin and Dr. William Lamb's Lucara Diamond Corp. (LUC), up three cents to $2.32 on 878,000 shares, hopes to extend the life of its Karowe mine in Botswana.
