Commerce Resources Corp. (TSXv: CCE, FSE: D7H, OTCQX: CMRZF) announced that it has begun mobilizing field crews in advance of the 2011 winter/spring drill program at the Ashram Rare Earth Element (“REE”) Zone located at the Eldor Property in northeastern Quebec.

1. Commerce Resources Corp. Resumes Work at Ashram Rare Earth Zone,
Eldor Property, Quebec
March 1, 2011 - Commerce Resources Corp. (TSXv: CCE, FSE: D7H, OTCQX: CMRZF)
(the “Company” or “Commerce”) is pleased to announce that it has begun mobilizing field crews
in advance of the 2011 winter/spring drill program at the Ashram Rare Earth Element (“REE”)
Zone located at the Eldor Property in northeastern Quebec.
The drill program will include a minimum of six, vertical, core holes totalling 3,000 metres with
a drill rig capable of attaining depths in excess of 600 metres. Drill holes will be completed from
ice over the Centre Pond on an approximately 200-metre spaced grid. A map showing the
locations of the proposed drill holes will be posted on the Company’s website at:
http://www.commerceresources.com/s/Eldor.asp
To date, REE mineralization at the Ashram Zone has been defined by twelve holes over an area
measuring in excess of 650 metres east-west, by 350 metres north-south, to depths of 365 metres
with the majority of holes bottoming in mineralization. Mineralization at the Ashram Zone
remains open to the north, south, east, at depth, and is not fully constrained to the west. The zone
is located near the centre of the Eldor Carbonatite Complex and is coincident with a magnetic
low which measures approximately 1 kilometre by 0.8 kilometres in size.
Based on the results of the first twelve holes, SGS Geostat Ltd. of Montreal, Quebec is in the
process of completing an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the Ashram Zone;
with an anticipated completion date of early March.
Drilling is scheduled to begin March 2nd and, in the event that favourable drill conditions persist
beyond the completion of the first six drill holes, will continue as long as weather permits.
The Eldor Property encompasses 19,006 hectares and, in addition to the Ashram REE Zone, is
host to several other niobium, tantalum, phosphate and REE targets. Altogether in 2010, 21 drill
holes totalling 5,389.98 metres were completed across the property as well as regional
prospecting, trenching and soil sampling.

2. 2010 Niobium, Tantalum, Phosphate and REE Exploration Drilling Results
The bulk of the 2010 drilling was completed at the Ashram Zone (12 holes totalling 3,312.67
metres) with nine other holes targeting separate niobium, tantalum and phosphate targets, as well
as, a unique zone of REE mineralization.
The Company has now received all of the analytical results for the 2010 holes drilled outside of
the Ashram Zone at three separate target areas, as follows:
Southeast Zone 4 holes (1391.65 m)
Star Trench Area 3 holes (493.66 m)
MC Exposure Area 2 holes (192.00 m)
At the Southeast Zone, all holes intersected significant intervals of niobium and phosphate
mineralization. Results include some of the widest and highest grades of niobium thus far
encountered at the property, including:
• EC10-032: 0.43% Nb2O5 over 155.95 metres including 0.71% Nb2O5 over 15.33
metres
• EC10-033: 0.58% Nb2O5 over 74.25 metres including 0.85% Nb2O5 over 19.54 metres
Carbonatites can host multiple commodities; notable examples include the Palabora Complex
(Cu, Fe, P, Zr, U, Vermiculite) in South Africa, Araxa (Nb) in Brazil, Niobec (Nb) in Quebec
and Cargill (P) in Ontario. Iamgold’s Niobec Niobium Mine in Quebec is hosted by a carbonatite
and is one of the world’s largest primary niobium producers with proven and probable reserves
of 32.09 MT at 0.56% Nb2O5.
At the MC Exposure Area, REE mineralization was encountered in two holes, further
highlighting the potential for additional REE discoveries outside of the Ashram Zone. Highlights
include:
• EC10-037: 1.08% total rare earth oxides (“TREO”) over 18.94 m including 1.73%
TREO over 7.87 metres
The MC Exposure Area is located more than 4.8 kilometres east-southeast of the Ashram Zone
and is situated within a regional magnetic low. The drilled area is located near the southeast
extremity of a soil geochemical anomaly which extends for more than 4 kilometres in length.
A map showing the location of all of the drill holes drilled outside of the Ashram Zone will be
posted on the Company’s website at: http://www.commerceresources.com/s/Eldor.asp

All samples were analyzed by Activation Laboratories of Ancaster, Ont. using its Method 8 -
major oxide, rare earths and trace element package by fusion ICP and ICP/MS. The four most
abundant REEs that constitute the TREO reported in this news release are: Cerium,
Lanthanum/Neodymium and Praseodymium. TREO refers to the sum of Lanthanum through
Lutetium plus Yttrium, reported as oxides. As the orientation of the mineralization zones are
uncertain, drilled thickness is not necessarily true thickness.
