Commander Identifies Conductors at Sabin Property, Ontario and Stakes Additional Claims

V.CMD | February 27, 2019

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 27, 2019) - Commander Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CMD) ("Commander") completed an airborne VTEM survey on its 100% owned Sabin zinc-copper-silver-gold property and staked additional land to increase the property size to 9,870 hectares. Sabin is a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) prospect in the Sturgeon Lake greenstone belt, which hosts significant VMS deposits, including the past-producing Sturgeon, Mattabi, Lyon and "F' VMS mines. The property is some ten kilometres north of the community of Savant Lake in northwest Ontario, Canada,

The airborne survey flew 370 line-km of electromagnetic and magnetic surveys using the latest generation VTEM Plus system by Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario. The survey was completed in October 2018 and results were delivered in January. The company's geophysical consultant, Brian Bengert P.Geo., has identified a significant number of high priority conductors throughout the property and in areas just outside the original claim block. Consequently, the company staked additional claims to cover the new targets and prospective geology extending to the west. This is the first modern deep penetrating geophysical survey flown over the property. The company will continue to refine and interpret the results, including modelling of specific conductors. Results are plotted in attached figures 1 and 2 and an updated property presentation will be posted to the company's website.

Robert Cameron, President and CEO of Commander states, "The results from the VTEM survey exceeded our expectations and identified numerous conductors and highlighted several new target areas not previously recognized. The Sabin property is a premier VMS project located in a prolific greenstone belt with extensive infrastructure in a favourable mining jurisdiction."

The Sabin VMS Property was first worked by Union de Miniere Exploration (UMEX) in the 1970's. Initial work by UMEX led to the discovery of the Marchington Zone where shallow drilling on 15 m centres outlined a historical near surface resource from 15 m to 61 m depth.

Marchington Zone Historic Resource (non-NI43-101 compliant)
123,000 tonnes	2.9% Zn	0.7% Cu	1.3 % Pb	56 g/t Ag

The Marchington Zone resource was defined by UMEX (based on internal company documents dated June 19, 1980), is historic in nature, is the most recent resource estimate currently available and is not to be relied upon except to provide an indication of exploration potential on the property. It was calculated by exploration professionals working for a major company widely reputed as competent, utilizing methodology accepted and relied upon as standard industry practice at the time, but is not compliant with National Instrument 43-101 standards. The reader is cautioned that a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify this historical estimate as current resources and Commander is not treating it as a current mineral resource.

In addition to the Marchington Zone, three additional partially drill tested zones were identified, including the Kash, South and S-23 zones. The core of the Sabin property is underlain by intermediate and felsic volcanic units that exhibit widespread alteration comprised of garnet, staurolite, sillimanite and sericite metamorphic mineralogy.

Commander (formerly Major General) acquired the original property through a purchase agreement with UMEX in 1990 and holds a 100% interest in the property except for two small internal claim parcels that are subject to a participating interest with Glencore Canada Corporation (formerly Noranda) who currently hold 41.5% and 33.3%. UMEX retains a 2.5% NSR over the core of the property that would be reduced to 1% following $225,000 of royalty payments.
