Commerce Resources samples 4.3% Nb2O5 at Miranna

COMMERCE RESOURCES CORP. RELEASES 4.30% NB2O5 SAMPLED ON THE NIOBIUM CLAIM GROUP, QUEBEC

Commerce Resources Corp. has released the results of the recent prospecting and sampling completed throughout the Miranna area, which forms part of its Niobium claim group in Northern Quebec. This work was conducted by the company during its 2017 field program.

The Miranna area is characterized by a strongly mineralized (niobium-tantalum-phosphate), glacially dispersed boulder train with a source interpreted to be potentially on the property. Prospecting work in the area continues to identify numerous well-mineralized boulders, with the 2017 program returning a peak niobium sample of 4.30 per cent Nb2O5 (niobium oxide), 240 parts per million Ta2O5 (tantalum oxide) and 13.4 per cent P2O5 (phosphorus pentoxide), and a peak tantalum sample of 1.16 per cent Nb2O5, 700 ppm Ta2O5 and 0.65 per cent P2O5. A summary of results is presented in the associated table.

(1) Ta2O5 and Nb2O5 are analyzed 
by X-ray fluorescence with a 
detection limit of 10 ppm.

The recent fieldwork further supports the presence of a large, strongly mineralized boulder field with a source toward the south-southeast. A distinct lull in mineralized boulders is coincident with the primary geophysical anomaly in the Miranna area, of which approximately half is present on the property. This anomaly, known as the Miranna target, is interpreted to be a potential source of the boulder train. Further, the data suggest several overlapping boulder trains may be present, with one source potentially from the Southeast area.

All samples were analyzed by Activation Laboratories Ltd.'s Ancaster, Ont., facility for major oxide, rare earths and trace elements by fusion ICP and ICP/MS, tantalum and niobium by XRF, and for fluorine by fusion specific ion electrode-ISE.

Saville Resources Inc. intends to complete its maiden drill program on the Niobium claim group property in the latter half of 2018. The program will aim to test the portion of the Miranna target that is present on the property, as well as further test the Northwest and Southeast areas, which are also considered highly prospective, with several well-mineralized drill intersections returned in prior years.

The Miranna, Southeast and Northwest areas are all located within only a few kilometres of the Ashram rare earth deposit, which suggests there could be significant potential for development synergies in the event a deposit of merit is defined by the company on its Niobium claim group.

Saville Resources is currently preparing a National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the Niobium claim group property, which consists of 21 contiguous claims within the Eldor property. Saville recently signed an earn-in agreement (subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval) providing the company with the exclusive right to earn up to a 75-per-cent interest in the property (see news release dated Jan. 11, 2018). The agreement is conditionally approved by the TSX-V, pending receipt of an acceptable NI 43-101 technical report on the property.

NI 43-101 disclosure

Darren Smith, MSc, PGeol, Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd., a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, supervised the preparation of the technical information in this news release.

Stock option

In addition, the company has engaged Venture Liquidity Providers to provide market intelligence, and to advise on market and trading strategies, and for these services will issue an option to purchase one million shares at 7.5 cents as of April 12, 2018.
