Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 26, 2018) - Commander Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CMD) ("Commander") is pleased to report that its project partner Fjordland Exploration Inc. ("Fjordland") (TSXV: FEX) has expanded the company's South Voisey's Bay nickel-copper-cobalt project (the "SVB Property") located 80 kilometres south of Vale's Voisey's Bay nickel mine in Labrador, Canada. Fjordland has signed a Letter of Intent with Vulcan Minerals Inc. ("Vulcan") granting Fjordland the option to acquire a 65% interest in 30 mining claims located in the South Voisey's area, Labrador. Under the terms of the agreement, Fjordland has the option to pay to Vulcan $45,000 and incur $150,000 in exploration expenditures over a period of three years. If the option is exercised a joint venture will be formed whereby Vulcan will be carried for 100% of its joint venture expenditures on the claims until Fjordland earns its full interest from Commander on surrounding contiguous lands or a minimum expenditure of $7 million on those lands.
The property is contiguous to mineral tenure held by Fjordland and Commander as part of their South Voisey's Bay nickel-copper-cobalt Project ("SVB Project"). Fjordland's strategic investor, High Power Exploration Inc. has notified Fjordland that they intend to fund a minimum of $1.2 million of the proposed 2018 summer drill program on the SVB Project.
