(TSXv: CCE, FSE: D7H0) (the "Company" or "Commerce") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement offering of up to 27,777,777 charity flow-through shares (each, a "FT Share") at a price of $0.18 per FT Share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 (the "Offering"). The FT Shares are being issued pursuant to a charity arrangement structured by Peartree Securities Inc.

The Company also announces that it has entered into an agreement ("Term Sheet") with Churchill SIG Pty Ltd.

As consideration for the Services, and upon completion of the Offering, the Company has agreed to pay Churchill a cash fee (the "Cash Fee") equal to 5% of the amount raised under the Offering from persons introduced by Churchill, and to issue such number of non-transferable share purchase warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") that equals 10% of the total number of FT Shares issued to persons introduced by Churchill under the Offering. Each Finder's Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share (a "Finder's Warrant Share") in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.20 per Finder's Warrant Share for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance of the Finder's Warrants. The Company has also agreed to pay for Churchill's reasonable fees and expenses in connection with the Services, up to $10,000. Churchill shall have a right of first refusal to act as lead manager in connection with any other equity offerings undertaken by the Company within a 12-month period following completion of the Offering.

The Securities, and the underlying securities, will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of closing.

Certain insiders of the Company are anticipated to participate in the Offering, and the participation of insiders will be considered a related party transaction subject to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that participation in the Offering by insiders will not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
