"We are pleased to be able to provide our current and potential U.S. investors an improved platform to access our company's securities," stated Dave Hodge, President of Commerce Resources.  "The American institutional and retail audiences are well aware of the importance of rare and strategic metals both to their national economy and as investment opportunities.

The OTCQX is a highly visible trading platform that has attracted more than 150 companies since its inception in early 2007. Built on a robust electronic quotation and trading platform, OTCQX International has emerged as the world's leading, premier cross-listing venture for international issuers that wish to benefit from U.S. trading and investor demand without diluting their current shareholder base. In just over three years, the OTCQX has grown to a total market capitalization of more than $800 billion.

R. Cromwell Coulson, President and CEO of Pink OTC Markets, stated, "We are pleased to welcome Commerce to the OTCQX. Companies like Commerce, that trade on OTCQX, demonstrate their commitment to providing superior information to U.S. investors and maintaining the highest quality standards."

Commerce has been dedicated to the exploration and development of strategic and rare metal projects since its initial listing in 2001.  The Company's flagship asset is the Blue River Tantalum and Niobium Project in British Columbia where the Company is advancing its Upper Fir deposit through development.  A preliminary economic assessment is underway by AMEC. 

The Company is also actively exploring the Eldor Rare Earth Project in northern Quebec and the Carbo Rare Earth Project in northeastern British Columbia.  Drilling at the Eldor Project in 2010 has resulted in a significant new rare earth element discovery at the Ashram Zone.  The Company completed 12 holes totaling approximately 3,300 metres during 2010 at the target; with assays for seven of the holes pending.

At the Carbo Project, Commerce's joint venture partner Canadian International Minerals Inc. (TSXv:CIN) recently completed a 12 hole drill program targeting carbonatite-hosted rare earth element mineralization.  Assay results from all 12 holes are pending.

Commerce is one of most experienced and active explorers for rare metals with exploration currently ongoing on all three of the Company's projects.  The Company has 130.8 million shares issued and outstanding, a market capitalization of $80 million, and as of the latest financials, July 31, 2010, had approximately $17 million in cash and investments.
