FACTS ABOUT COMMERCE RESOURCES AND TANTALUM
Commerce Resources has an increasingly important 100% owned tantalum-niobium property at Blue River in British Columbia Canada.
The United States does not have a tantalum mining industry because U.S. resources are of low grade, and the United States must import all of its tantalum source materials for processing.
Tantalum has been classified as a "strategic metal" by the United States Government.
It is worth currently about $200 Canadian per pound. (About $170 U.S.)
Commerce, through drilling and extensive analysis, has defined a resource of more than 8 million pounds of Ta2 05. This resource value was developed using official 43-101 standards mandated by the Canadian Government for their resource mining companies.
Most of the World's tantalum goes into making capacitors for electronics... (for example, in cell phones).
The use of tantalum is preferred over other metals due to its reliable long life, low energy use, resistance to temperature fluctuations and high capacitance.
Tantalum is VITAL! It cannot be substituted by other metals for high function cell phones such as picture, video, colorscreen phones and Blackberry devices (small handheld e-mailers).
Given the growing usage and dependence of people on cell phones and computers, it is no wonder that TANTALUM is being called "THE HIGH TECH METAL" and also called "THE METAL OF THE FUTURE."

"Fortuitously Commerce Resources enjoys these power and transportation advantages.
I just wish I had more funds to increase my position at the current price."

"Suppose it turns out, that the Blue River is one huge massive all-joined-together-everywhere deposit?
....if you look at a map of the Blue River Property, the Fir deposit, the Verity deposit and the Upper Fir deposit stretch across the northern part of the property. And the Bone Creek deposit is in the south central part."
