Commerce Resources Corp.  Initiates 2016 Field Program at the Ashram Rare Earth Deposit

17.08.2016 | 9:30 Uhr | FSCwire

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Commerce Resources Corp. (TSXv: CCE, FSE: D7H, OTCQX: CMRZF) (the “Company” or “Commerce”) is pleased to announce the start of the 2016 field program at its 100% owned Ashram Rare Earth Deposit, located in northern Quebec. 

Field crews have mobilized to site for the program, which is expected to run for 8 – 10 weeks, in support of the Ashram Project’s ongoing Pre-feasibility Study. The field program will consist of three main components; resource definition drilling, hydrogeological testwork, and continued environmental baseline data collection.

A total of 14 drill holes for approximately 1,600 m are planned as part of the resource definition drilling, focused along the north, west, and southern margins of the deposit. The drilling will also include a single drill hole (200-300 m) targeting a gravity anomaly proximal to the south of the deposit. This anomaly indicates the potential of a new zone of middle and heavy rare earth oxide enrichment, similar to the main zone of enrichment present at Ashram which is associated with a strong gravity anomaly.

The Ashram Deposit’s mineralized extent has expanded to the north and south since the 2012 resource estimate was completed, and remains open in those directions. As such, an objective of the current program will be to better understand the deposit geometry and mineralization in these areas where high-grade intersections of rare earth oxide over appreciable widths have been returned.

The hydrogeological program will include the installation of various types of monitoring equipment down several previously completed drill holes. This will be followed by a pumping test to evaluate the the sub-surface water flow and slope stability of the anticipated pit shell.

The environmental work will focus on surface water analysis and will contribute to the ongoing baseline data collection and related studies.

About the Ashram Rare Earth Element Deposit

The Ashram Rare Earth Element (REE) Deposit is located in Nunavik, north-eastern Quebec. The Deposit has a measured resource of 1.6 million tonnes (Mt) at 1.77% TREO, an indicated resource of 27.7 Mt at 1.90% TREO, and an inferred resource of 219.8 Mt at 1.88% TREO. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The REEs at Ashram occur primarily in the mineral monazite and to a lesser extent in bastnaesite and xenotime. These minerals dominate the currently known commercial extraction processes for rare earths. The Ashram Deposit mineralization has an REE distribution with enrichment in the critical and magnet feed REEs (Nd, Pr, Eu, Tb, Dy, and Y).

A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) was completed by SGS-Geostat of Montreal (Blainville) with an effective date of July 5, 2012 (revised date of January 7, 2015). The PEA is based on a 4,000 tonne per day open-pit operation with an initial 25-year mine life, a pre-tax Net Present Value (NPV) of $2.32 billion at a 10% discount rate, a pre-tax/pre-finance Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 44%, and a pre-tax/pre-finance payback period of 2.25 years.

This economic assessment is by definition preliminary in nature and it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. The current Ashram Technical Report dated January 7, 2015 explains why no after-tax case is included, and that a combined tax rate of around 32.5% may apply to production.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking information which is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements.  Forward looking statements in this press release include our ongoing drill program, hydrogeological testwork and continued environmental baseline data collection.  These forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information.  Risks that could change or prevent these statements from coming to fruition include changing costs for mining and processing; increased capital costs; the timing and content of upcoming work programs; geological interpretations based on drilling that may change with more detailed information; potential process methods and mineral recoveries assumption based on limited test work and by comparison to what are considered analogous deposits that with further test work may not be comparable; the availability of labour, equipment and markets for the products produced; and despite the current expected viability of the project, conditions changing such that the minerals on our property cannot be economically mined, or that the required permits to build and operate the envisaged mine can be obtained. The forward-looking information contained herein is given as of the date hereof and the Company assumes no responsibility to update or revise such information to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law.
