Robert Gannicott and Brendan Bell's Dominion Diamond Corp. (DDC) had yet another good day, gaining 46 cents to $15.65 on 300,000 shares.

Bruce Counts, Paul Cox and Mike Power's Proxima Diamonds Corp., the reverse takeover target of Mr. Cox and Richard Godfrey's Adent Capital Corp. (ANT.H: $0.02), is planning a winter exploration program on two of its 16 diamond projects in Canada's North.

The work is to start in mid-February.
