As a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, we are issuing the following news release to update and clarify our disclosure.

VANCOUVER, Feb. 26 /CNW/ - Commerce Resources Corp. (TSXv: CCE, FSE: D7H) (the "Company") wishes to provide an update to its news releases of November 24, 2009 and January 18, 2010 regarding the updated independent resource estimate for the Company's Upper Fir Deposit, Blue River Project, British Columbia.

The filing of the "Independent Technical Report, Upper Fir Property, Blue River, British Columbia, Canada" by Michelle Stone, Ph.D., P. Geo, and Julie Selway, PhD., P.Geo., independent Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101, of Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc. ("CCIC") has been delayed as it is being updated to include a resource estimate for each of the Fir and Verity deposits.

The Company's Blue River Tantalum/Niobium Project hosts three mineral deposits known as the Upper Fir, the Fir and the Verity. The Upper Fir is located approximately 30 km north of Blue River, British Columbia, the Fir is located 1,200 m west of the Upper Fir deposit and the Verity is located approximately 10 km north of the Upper Fir. The total size of the Blue River Project is in excess of 1,000 square km. The Company's primary focus is on the Upper Fir Deposit.

The resource disclosure in the technical reports previously provided by the Company for the Fir and the Verity Deposits in the "Geological Summary and Resource Potential of the Fir Carbonatite Property, Blue River, British Columbia", prepared by Ruben S. Verzosa, P.Eng. dated March 6, 2003 (amended November 30, 2004) and the "Technical Report on the Upper Fir Tantalum-Niobium-Bearing Carbonatite" prepared by John Gorham, P.Geol. dated June 20, 2007 are not compliant with National Instrument 43-101 and the previous resource estimates for Fir and Verity should not be relied upon.

The Company expects to announce independent resource estimates for the Upper Fir, Fir and Verity deposits as soon as CCIC completes its update of the Fir and Verity resource estimates.
