The critical and specialty minerals box score for Tuesday was a lacklustre 80-109-121 as the TSX Venture Exchange added six points to 1,002. Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. (AVL), silent for a week but a busy trader nevertheless, was unchanged today at 6.5 cents on 2.09 million shares. First Atlantic Nickel & Cobalt Corp. (FAN), also silent, fell two cents to 87 cents on 1.7 million shares today.

Quinn Field-Dyte's Vault Strategic Mining Corp. (KNOX) slid seven cents to 53 cents on 258,000 shares. Vault, called Margaret Lake Diamonds Inc. until January, says -- note the hedge -- that "planning has commenced for its maiden exploration program" on the War Bond tungsten project, which includes the old War Bond, Tactite and Thursday tungsten mines in Nevada.
