Commerce Resources Corp. Commences Drilling at Eldor Rare Metal Project,
Quebec
Commerce Resources Corp. (TSXv: CCE, FSE: D7H) (the "Company" or “Commerce”) is pleased to
announce that drilling is underway on the Company’s Eldor Tantalum-Niobium and Rare Earth Element
Project located in northern Quebec. Up to 15 holes totaling 3,000 metres will be completed. The
exploration program will also include prospecting, mapping, soil sampling, a ground magnetic survey,
and trenching.
The focus of the program will be to test the newly discovered and previously untested Ashram Rare Earth
Element (“REE”) Zone. The Ashram Zone was discovered in July of 2009 by tracing a glacially
dispersed REE mineralized boulder train, and has the potential to host a REE deposit of considerable size.
The zone is located near the centre of the Eldor Property, and is coincident with a magnetic low
approximately 1 kilometre by 0.8 kilometres in size. The goal for drilling is to identify a carbonatite-
hosted REE deposit.
Geologically similar projects include: Hudson Resources Inc.’s Sarfartoq Carbonatite Project in
Greenland and Rare Element Resources Ltd.’s Bear Lodge Carbonatite Project in Wyoming.
Drilling will also be completed at the Star Trench and Southeast Areas as a follow-up to significant
tantalum and niobium intersections from the 2008 drill program.
The Eldor Property covers a carbonatite complex located within the central Labrador Trough, located in
northern Quebec; approximately 130 km south of the town of Kuujjuaq. The property is 100% owned by
Commerce and encompasses 404 claims totaling approximately 19,006 hectares.
The Eldor Property hosts several mineralized zones including the Ashram Rare Earth Zone and the
Northwest, Southeast and Star Trench zones, where previous drilling identified significant concentrations
of tantalum, niobium, uranium, phosphate and fluorine. Geologically, the Eldor Project is a large
carbonatite complex. Carbonatites and carbonatite related deposits are a major host for rare metals, such
as niobium and tantalum, and rare earth elements. The world's largest niobium mine, Araxá in Brazil, and
several of the world's largest rare earth element deposits, including Lynas Corporation’s Mt. Weld deposit
in Australia, and Molycorp’s Mountain Pass deposit in the United States, are all hosted by carbonatites.
Sufficient working capital is available to complete all of the Company’s development and exploration
plans. As at April 30th, 2010, the Company had $19.8 million in cash and investments.
