The critical and specialty minerals stocks box score was a rousing 111-66-133 on Wednesday as the TSX Venture Exchange added eight points to 947. Jonathan Comerford and Dermot Desmond's Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. (MPVD) was unchanged today at 5.5 cents on 81,000 shares.

Greg Reimer's Surge Battery Metals Inc. (NILI) rose three cents to 55 cents on 2.2 million shares. The company says that it and its co-venturer, Australia-based Evolution Mining Ltd., have hired contractors to update the resource estimate for their Nevada North lithium project in northeastern Nevada. Look for the estimate to be complete by late next month, says Mr. Reimer, president and CEO, noting that the primary objective of the update is the conversion of a significant portion of the currently inferred resource to higher classifications. The new estimate, he blathers, "will serve as the foundational geological baseline for the continuing prefeasibility study" for the project.
