Commerce Resources Corp. reports significant analytical results from its 2010 drill program at the Eldor property in Quebec, demonstrating notable intersections of total rare earth oxides (TREO) and heavy rare earths. The results include drill hole ec10-045, which showed 2.30% TREO over 172.89 meters, highlighting the potential for a significant near-surface deposit of enriched middle and heavy rare earth elements. A winter drilling program is set to commence to further explore this zone, and a compliant resource estimate is expected in early 2011.

1. Commerce Resources Corp. Intersects 2.30% TREO over 172.89 m at the
Eldor Property, Quebec and up to 45% Heavies
January 27, 2011 - Commerce Resources Corp. (TSXv: CCE, FSE: D7H, OTCQX: CMRZF)
(the “Company” or “Commerce”) is pleased to report that it is in receipt of analytical results for
the remaining five holes from the 2010 drill program at the Ashram Rare Earth Zone. The
Ashram Rare Earth Zone is located at the Company’s wholly-owned Eldor Project within
northern Quebec. Highlights are as follows:
Drill hole EC10-045: 309.18 metres of 1.99% Total Rare Earth Oxides (“TREO”), including
172.89 m of 2.30% TREO.
Drill hole EC10-044: 239.66 metres of 1.78% TREO, including 71.11 m of 2.19% TREO, with
heavy and middle rare earth oxide contents of individual samples up to 45.3%.
Importantly, the middle to heavy rare earth oxide (MREO, HREO) enriched zone previously
identified in EC10-047 (see news release dated November 24, 2010) is evident 110 metres to the
east in EC10-044 with 15.7% MREO+HREO over 55.56 m. This interval includes 19.8% over
17.13 m with a peak value of >45% MREO+HREO. Grades of TREO within the enriched zone
range from 0.75 to 2.20%. The enriched zone is also evident in EC10-045 with 13.2%
MREO+HREO over 19.0 m. MREO is defined as samarium through gadolinium and HREO as
terbium through lutetium plus yttrium.
It appears that rare earth element (“REE”) fractionation has occurred during the emplacement of
the rare earths at Ashram, resulting in pods or zones of MREO and HREO enrichment. This is
very unusual for carbonatite-hosted REE bodies as they are typically light rare earth enriched,
with only minor credits of the valuable heavy rare earths. The discovery of an enriched, near
surface, middle and heavy REE zone at Eldor is significant and its delineation a priority for
future drilling.

* All samples were analyzed by Activation Laboratories of Ancaster, ON using its method eight -- major oxide, rare
earths and trace element package by fusion ICP and ICP/MS. Fluorine analysis is being compiled. The four most
abundant REEs that make up the TREO reported above are cerium, lanthanum / neodymium and praseodymium.
The 2010 drill program at the Ashram Rare Earth Zone consisted of 12 holes totalling 3,312.67
metres. REE mineralization occurs within an area measuring in excess of 650 m east-west, by
350 m north-south, to depths of 365 m. The mineralization remains open to the north, south,
east, at depth, and is not fully constrained to the west.
A 43-101 compliant resource estimate, based on the first 12 holes at the Ashram Rare Earth
Zone, will be forthcoming from SGS Geostat Ltd. (“SGS”) of Montreal, Quebec. All exploration
data has been delivered to SGS and a property visit has been completed. It is anticipated that the
resource estimate will be completed within the first quarter of 2011 and will be reported as soon
as it is received.
In addition, Cartwright Drilling Inc. out of Goose Bay, Labrador has been contracted to conduct
a minimum 3,000 metre winter drill program at the Ashram Rare Earth Zone with a drill rig
capable of attaining depths in excess of 600 metres. The drill program is expected to begin at the
end of February and continue for as long as the weather permits. Vertical holes from the pond in
the centre of the zone will target the depth extension of the mineralization and define its eastern
and northern boundaries. Based on exploration to date, the highest grades and the enriched
MREO+HREO zone appear to be within the northeastern margins of the deposit.
The Company has also retained Roger Mitchell of Lakehead University in Ontario to conduct a

map, will be available at: http://www.commerceresources.com/s/Eldor.asp
Additional Details on Holes EC10-039, 042, 043, 044 and 045
Drill holes EC10-044 (230° azimuth, 45° dip) and EC10-045 (vertical) were located
approximately 110 m east of EC10-047 and 80 m north-northwest of EC10-028. They were
collared from the same pad, intersecting mineralization directly from surface and continuing over
their entire lengths.
EC10-045 returned one of the thickest 2+% TREO intersections to date with mineralization
increasing with depth (final sample assaying 2.36% TREO). EC10-044 followed a similar
pattern.
The two holes continue to reinforce the deposit’s potential for vast, near surface tonnages of REE
mineralization, and confirm the presence of a significant near surface “pod” of MREO+HREO
enrichment.
Drill holes EC10-042 (230° azimuth, 45° dip) and EC10-043 (50° azimuth, 45° dip) were
collared from the same pad and are located approximately 160 metres east of EC10-029. A
contact occurs near the collar as EC10-042 encountered A-Zone type material from surface while
EC10-043 encountered a very heterogeneous breccia unit comprised of A and B zone, or similar,
type lithologies. This unit is interpreted to be a late-stage, hydrothermal breccia with common
fluorite and variable clast size.
EC10-039 (230° azimuth, 75° dip) tested the focus of the magnetic low that defines the Ashram
Rare Earth Zone. It ended prematurely at 348.96 m and did not adequately test the target as the
drill reached its maximum depth capabilities. TREO mineralization is less consistent down hole
compared to EC10-043; however, TREO content increases with depth and the final 6.42 m
returned 1.72% TREO.
Initial drilling at Ashram interpreted a cone-shaped deposit model with A-Zone material
occupying the centre, rimmed on the outside by the B and BD zones respectively. Additional
drilling suggests a lopolith-like (“bowl shape”) body; however, its base has yet to be penetrated
and the deposit remains open at depth. Given the geological model, drill holes EC10-044 and
045 are considered near to true thickness, while EC10-039, 042, and 043 are considered
apparent.

4. Drill data to date supports a TREO grade increasing to the north where the deposit remains open.
Grade also appears to increase with depth as evidenced by EC10-027, 028, 044, 045, 046 and
047.
The Eldor Property covers a carbonatite complex located within the central Labrador Trough
approximately 130 km south of the town of Kuujjuaq. The property is 100%-owned by
Commerce and encompasses 404 claims totalling approximately 19,006 hectares.
Sufficient working capital is available to complete all of the Company’s development and
exploration plans. The Company currently has approximately $11 million in cash and
investments.

The Company also announces that it has changed auditors. At the request of the Company, BDO
Canada LLP (“BDO”) has resigned as auditor of the Company and Chang Lee, LLP, Chartered
Accountants (“Chang Lee”) have been appointed. The Audit Committee and Board of Directors
