Commerce Resources happy with Ashram site assessment

COMMERCE RESOURCES CORP. UPDATES SITE INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN FOR THE ASHRAM RARE EARTH PROJECT

Commerce Resources Corp. is providing an update on the site infrastructure geotechnical work completed in support of the continuing prefeasibility Study (PFS) for the company's 100-per-cent-owned Ashram rare earth project, located in Northern Quebec.

A key aspect of the site infrastructure assessment for the Ashram project has now been completed, with the final PFS level test data received for work completed on the geotechnical samples collected in 2015 (see news releases dated July 9, 2015). This work included identification of soil type and its suitability as foundation material, as well as other related attributes critical to site assessment and development.

The results are highly encouraging, from a technical standpoint, and indicate that the infrastructure locations proposed for the project are favourable and practical. This work bolsters the already favourable data collected from the condemnation drilling completed to date as well the continuing environmental programs and social engagement.

Company president Chris Grove states: "We are fortunate that the site layout initially proposed for the Ashram project development has been significantly derisked with all components located favourably and in close proximity. We are not just advancing the project with the goal of building a mine, we are setting the foundation on which to develop a profitable, low-cost and long-life asset where all parties involved benefit."

The dataset consisted of 77 shelby tube and split spoon samples collected from numerous drill holes at the proposed dike location on Centre Pond, the tailings management facility and the process plant site, as well as the Ashram deposit. In addition to assessment of overburden thickness, sample testwork included granulometric, shear strength, friction angle and hydraulic conductivity analysis. The work was completed at the Laboratoires d'Expertises de Quebec Ltee. for analysis and Groupe Qualitas Inc., a division of SNC-Lavalin.

Formal reporting of the data, when completed, will feed into a detailed overarching PFS level geotechnical review for the project.
