Commerce Resources Corp. and Alexander Krupin Sign MOU for Processing
of Upper Fir Material from Blue River Project, BC
July 11, 2017 - Commerce Resources Corp. (TSXv: CCE; FSE: D7H) (“Commerce”) is pleased
to announce that it has executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Alexander
Krupin for the purpose of integrating feedstock from Commerce’s Upper Fir Tantalum and
Niobium Deposit in British Columbia (the “Upper Fir Deposit”) with the proprietary separation
process developed by Alexander Krupin.
Under the terms of the MOU, Commerce will provide a one metric tonne sample of Upper Fir
Deposit material to Alexander Krupin’s facility in Estonia, for the purposes of evaluating the
process and its applicability in processing the feed stock material to independent tantalum and
niobium products.
It is expected that this sample of material from the Upper Fir Deposit will be received in Estonia
in the next several weeks and processing work will begin immediately.
Commerce Resources President Chris Grove states “We are excited by this opportunity to work
with, and supply material to, Alexander Krupin for test work using his novel processing technology
in Estonia. Alexander has a long and significant history in metallurgy and we are very interested
to see the results from this demonstration of his new technology on our Upper Fir Deposit feed
stock, from our Blue River project here in British Columbia.”
