Commerce Resources Corp. (the “Company”) announces it has acquired a 100% interest in the Mud Lake Property. The Mud Lake Property consists of eight claims covering approximately 2,081ha and is host to the southernmost known carbonatite in the Blue River area: the Mud Lake/AEG carbonatite. The acquisition reaffirms the Company’s commitment to the exploration and development of its Blue River tantalum and niobium deposits.

The Blue River occurrences are part of a broad zone of carbonatites that follow the Rocky Mountain Trench. They are located within the Omineca Belt and more precisely within the northeastern margin of the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex. The major outcrop at the AEG occurrence has been traced for over 150 meters along strike and has a maximum thickness of greater than 4 meters. Due to limited prior exploration, the size potential of the mineralized intrusive remains unknown. The Company believes the Mud Lake Carbonatite warrants further exploration.

In consideration for the 100% interest in the Mud Lake Property, the Company will pay Ryan Grywul $13,200.
