The diamond and specialty minerals stocks box score for Wednesday was a so-so 108-75-127 as the TSX Venture Exchange soared 14 points to 584. Ewan Mason and George Read's Star Diamond Corp. (DIAM) sat unchanged at nine cents on 254,000 shares. The shackles are off and the company is going gangbusters promoting its plan to advance its now 100-per-cent-owned Fort a la Corne diamond project in central Saskatchewan. Mr. Mason, the company's chairman, president and chief executive officer, says he is focused on marketing and promotion, with a continental road show in the works that would begin on the West Coast and move eastward.

Meanwhile, Mr. Read, the company's senior vice-president of corporate development -- and a strong promoter of the project in his own right -- is keeping busy with the scientific end of the business. The company is beavering away on its first key deliverable, an updated resource estimate for the Star and Orion South kimberlites, which will allow it to deliver the next keys to advancement, a prefeasibility study, and then a full feasibility study that should be in hand by late in 2025.
