CMD Commander Resources Ltd

Commander Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CMD) announces that the field campaign
carried out at the Glenmorangie gold property, located in south east Yukon, has
identified two anomalous gold zones with values of up to 4.5 g/t gold in grab
rock samples and anomalous soil values of up to 106 ppb gold. The first three km
long by two km wide zone lies in the northern part of the claims where a
significant number of quartz veins have been mapped and which trend in a north
westerly direction. 


The second zone is to the south, and was identified through mapping and
sampling. Again, a north west trending fault system was discovered and along
with this, gold was found in soils, with values up to 131 ppb gold. Heavy metal
concentrate sampling of silts draining from this area returned 8 grains of gold,
the highest number found to date from this method of sampling.


Eric Norton, President of Commander Resources states; "The results from this
program are very encouraging. This area continues to attract a lot of attention
with the on-going success of Northern Tiger's 3Ace drill program and we feel
that the Glenmorangie property has good fundamental geology to justify continued
exploration in the area."


Results of the Program:

A total of 1,350 soil samples, 205 rock samples, 20 silt samples and six bulk
silt samples were obtained from the Company's 5,600 ha property over a two month
period last year. The samples were processed by ALS Minerals in their Whitehorse
and Vancouver labs, using ICP-MS methods. A total of $320,000 has been spent to
date. A map of sample locations can be found on the Company's website at
www.commanderresources.com.


Geological mapping of the area has identified a significant amount of structural
complexity, and identified a number of small intrusive bodies that had not been
previously recorded. Further work will shed light on the coincidence of gold
values along these structural corridors. A program for 2012 will be planned in
the following months.


About the Glenmorangie Property:

The Glenmorangie property is located in the Selwyn Basin of the Yukon and lies
at the southern end of the Tombstone gold belt. The formations consist of
phyllites, slates and argillite of the Vampire formation, and conglomerates of
the Hyland group. Intruding the metasediments are younger Cretaceous aged stocks
and plutons. The Little Hyland River Valley is dominated by a major structural
feature called the March Fault and bounded to the north by the Dawson Fault, and
to the south-west, by the Tintina Fault. Mineralized quartz veins have been
found on the Glenmorangie property and could either be associated with faulting
events or with an underlying Cretaceous aged intrusion, or both.


The area has seen considerable interest over the last few months, with land
acquisitions by several companies. A regional stream geochemistry program
carried out by the Yukon Geological Survey, highlighted gold anomalies from
several tributaries running into the Little Hyland River. There has been very
little exploration for gold in this area, with the focus historically being on
tungsten. The North American Tungsten mine is located only 7 km from the
Glenmorangie property.
