Alejandro Emiliano Gubbins Cox has acquired 8,800,000 common shares of Commander Resources (CMDRF) at $0.0984 per share through both the TSX Venture Exchange and a private transaction. The acquisition represents 19.87% of Commander's issued and outstanding common shares as of December 19, 2024.

Commander Resources reports results from geophysical surveys at its Burn Copper and Gold porphyry project in British Columbia. The company completed a 1,875 line-km helicopter magnetic survey and an 18 line-km IP survey over the Charleston Target. The surveys revealed a large 3 km by 2 km chargeability anomaly open to the south, with peak values exceeding 50 Mv/V. Previous drilling identified a gold-rich zone (83.5 m @ 1.08 g/t Au) and a porphyry copper-gold zone (50 m @ 0.24 Cu eq %). The new data will help model magnetic targets and interpret recent drilling results, with several regions identified for priority follow-up.
Commander Resources (TSXV: CMDRF) has announced the expiry of the unsolicited takeover bid by FruchtExpress Grabher GmbH & Co KG (FEx). The all-cash bid failed to meet the required tender conditions. Despite this, Commander and FEx have agreed to collaborate on future endeavors.
Commander's Board and Management remain committed to their strategy of building a Canada-based copper explorer. The company's portfolio includes three porphyry copper-gold projects, a high-grade copper-gold VMS project, and a carried interest in a copper-gold project. With a strong treasury and tight capital structure, Commander is well-positioned to explore value-maximizing opportunities for shareholders.
The company has engaged GenCap Mining Advisory as its financial advisor and Harper Grey LLP as legal advisor. Laurel Hill Advisory Group provided proxy solicitation and advisory services.
Commander Resources recommends shareholders reject FruchtExpress' unsolicited take-over bid of $0.09 per share. The Board believes the offer undervalues the company, failing to account for its cash and property assets. Key reasons to reject include:
1. The bid is self-serving and predatory, effectively acquiring the company for free.
2. It significantly undervalues Commander's properties and business.
3. It eliminates future upside potential for shareholders.
4. Commander has a strong balance sheet with C$4.0M in cash.
5. The bid is financially inadequate according to an independent advisor.

The Burn project, located in the Babine Copper Belt, has seen $4,326,000 in expenditures since 2019.

Commander Resources' Board of Directors has recommended that shareholders reject the unsolicited take-over bid by FruchtExpress for $0.09 per share. The Board, following advice from its financial and legal advisors, and a Special Committee, deems the bid opportunistic and undervalued. The offer fails to consider the company's cash reserve post a recent non-core royalty sale, valued at $4.1M, which strengthens Commander's finances and prospects. The bid would eliminate future value upside for shareholders and is deemed inadequate financially. Furthermore, the timing is seen as highly opportunistic, coinciding with a low point in the company’s share price. The Board and Special Committee highlight that Commander has no near-term dilution risk and is actively pursuing better strategic alternatives. Shareholders are advised to take no action regarding the bid.
Commander Resources has completed the sale of its royalty portfolio to TMRF Canada Inc. for US $4.1 million, equivalent to approximately CDN $5.6 million. The transaction, originally announced on January 25, 2024, has received final approval and all funds have been transferred. The company plans to use the non-dilutive funds to support ongoing and future exploration projects. Financial advisory was provided by GenCap Mining Advisory for a fee of 2% of the transaction value. Legal counsel was provided by Harper Grey LLP. Additionally, CDN $126,821 was disbursed to Glengarry Development for its 10% share in the Mt. Polley Royalty. Commander intends to use the proceeds for drilling top priority projects and to seek new opportunities in the copper-gold exploration space.
The Special Committee of Commander Resources has confirmed that FruchtExpress Grabher GmbH & Co KG (FEx) has made an unsolicited cash offer to acquire all outstanding shares of Commander not already owned by FEx at $0.09 per share. This offer, originally proposed on March 4, 2024, was formally communicated to Commander's Special Committee on May 23, 2024. Shareholders are advised to take no action until the Board of Directors, upon recommendations from the Special Committee, provides a formal response.

Results of these assessments will be communicated shortly. Commander emphasizes that there is no certainty the Special Committee or Board will support FEx's offer.
