Commerce Resources Corp. (OTCQX:CMRZF) has announced its 2024 summer diamond drill program at the Eldor Property, targeting niobium prospects in Quebec. The program includes 20-30 drill holes, totaling at least 7,500 meters. Focus areas are the Mallard and Miranna Prospects, known for high-grade niobium mineralization. Previous drilling at Mallard revealed promising results, including 1.00% Nb2O5 over 17.1 meters. The new drilling aims to further delineate mineralization. Miranna's initial tests in 2021 showed high-grade findings, such as 1.20% Nb2O5 over 3.1 meters. The company plans to expand on these findings during the upcoming campaign.
Commerce Resources has announced a significant update to the mineral resource estimate (MRE) for the Ashram Rare Earth & Fluorspar Deposit in Quebec. The indicated resource tonnage has increased by 164%, now standing at 73.2 Mt at 1.89% TREO and 6.6% CaF2, with inferred resources at 131.1 Mt at 1.91% TREO and 4.0% CaF2. The deposit shows high percentages of neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr), important for magnet production.
The updated MRE includes data from 28,783 meters of diamond drilling and incorporates three monazite-mineralized zones. The geological model suggests a continuous mineralized carbonatite body, enhancing the project's extraction potential. A forthcoming niobium drill program aims to explore further resource potential.
This update reinforces Ashram's status as a major rare earth element (REE) deposit, with high strategic value due to its favorable element distribution. The company plans ongoing work to unlock the deposit's full potential.
Commerce Resources has announced its intention to sell its Blue River property in British Columbia to an arm's length private company, Capacitor Metals. This decision aligns with Commerce's strategy to focus on its Quebec assets, including the Ashram REE/Fluorspar Deposit and prospective niobium claims.

The company plans to distribute these shares to its shareholders pro rata. Completion of the transaction is contingent on conditions in the Purchase Agreement and may require TSX Venture Exchange approval.
