The critical and specialty minerals stocks box score for Thursday was a positive 104-82-124 as the TSX Venture Exchange added 11 points to 898. Scandium Canada Ltd. (SCD) traded vigorously, adding three-quarters of a cent to 18.25 cents on 1.43 million shares. Magna Mining Inc. (NICU) was also a busy beaver, dipping 10 cents to $2.38 on one million shares. Neither company had news this week.

Blake Hylands's Lithium Ionic Corp. (LTH) added 5.5 cents to 79 cents on 443,000 shares on word that it is seeking quotes for work covering construction of two underground portals at its Bandeira lithium project in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Requests for quotes were sent to seven contractors, the company says, and it promises to provide regular updates as the process moves to the receipt of tenders, then on to "evaluation and award." Shareholders, of course, will be happier when they hear details of subsequent execution and payment.
