The critical and specialty minerals stocks box score for Thursday was a weak 52-118-140 as the TSX Venture Exchange fell seven points to 874. Libertystream Infrastructure Partners Inc. (LIB) had a good day, adding 2.5 cents to 86 cents on 1.36 million shares in silence.

Sean Whiteford's Nexmetals Mining Corp. (NEXM) fell 14 cents to $3.09 on 62,000 shares. The company has assays from four new holes of its 30,000-metre drill program at the Selebi Main deposit in Botswana. The drilling, which is targeting the Flexure zone at depth, delivered a headline hit of 3.1 per cent copper, 2.21 per cent nickel and 0.09 per cent cobalt across a true width of 11.15 metres in the Main zone.

A slightly deeper interval in that hole encountered the Lower zone. It delivered 0.93 per cent copper, 0.59 per cent nickel and 0.03 per cent cobalt across 13.45 metres. A second hole also produced high grades in the Main zone, but over just 4.05 metres, with 1.85 per cent copper, 2.13 per cent nickel and 0.09 per cent cobalt. The Lower zone did better in a third hole, with a 21.9-metre true-width hit yielding 1.35 per cent copper, 0.81 per cent nickel and 0.04 per cent cobalt.
