Re: News Release - Wednesday, September 19, 2007
Commander's Partner In The Yukon Reports 1.12% Cu over 5.6 metres
from Olympic-Rob Property
======================================================================

Commander Resources Ltd. (CMD -- TSX Venture) reports that Fjordland
Exploration Inc. (FEX- TSX Venture) has provided an update on the
current diamond-drilling program on the 3,675 hectare Olympic-Rob
copper-gold-uranium (IOCG) project, located 100 kilometres north of
Dawson City, Yukon, that is geologically similar to BHP Billiton Ltd.'s
giant Olympic Dam copper-gold-uranium mine. Under an option agreement
with Commander Resources Inc. (TSX-V:CMD), Fjordland can earn an
initial 60% interest and up to an 80% interest in the Olympic-Rob
project.

On Rob, two drill holes totalling 403.56 metres were completed. Both
holes tested two distinct magnetometer high anomalies that are
coincident with soil anomalies. Both holes encountered significant,
copper +/ uranium mineralization, associated with highly altered and
brecciated quartz-dolomite zones within a sequence of near-massive
hematitic siltstone and shale.

The first hole cut 5.6 metres grading 1.12% copper within a wider, 19
metre envelope grading 0.44% Cu and 13 ppm U3O8 between 6 and 25 metres
depth (see Table, below). A lower interval of 35.9 metres ran 0.21% Cu
and 4 ppm U3O8 between 54 and 90 metres depth. The second hold cut two
intervals of 10 and 18 metres width between 91 and 144 metres depth.
These zones ran 0.21 % Cu with 27 ppm U3O8 and 0.19% Cu with 30 ppm
U3O8 respectively. This copper and anomalous uranium mineralization
occurred in zones with strong hematite-silica alteration and some
brecciation.

These intervals are similar in alteration and copper-uranium values to
early drilling encountered at Olympic Dam in Australia. Of the first
eight holes drilled there, four contained negligible copper- uranium
values while the other four had +1% copper intervals with uranium
values ranging from 39 ppm to 75 ppm U3O8 over 11 to32 metres. A
number of anomalous gold values at Rob exceeded 0.10 g/t, with the best
one-metre interval running 0.33 g/t gold; again similar to the early
gold results at Olympic Dam.

On the Olympic zone, the first hole (Oly-07-01) collared in
chlorite-altered breccia, drilled through a sequence of
hematite-altered siltstone with minor amounts of copper (see Table
Below). Unfortunately, due to very bad ground conditions, the target
depth of > 500 metres was not reached; the hole was lost at a depth of
307 metres. Drilling of a second deep (> 500 m) hole is delayed due to
the drill contractor's manpower constraints.

On the Olympic zone, numerous copper showings ranging from 100 ppm to
21.4% copper in grab samples are enveloped by a 2-kilometre diameter
copper in-soil anomaly. A strong magnetic anomaly also underlies the
area, which is also similar to the Olympic Dam setting

* Hole lost at 307m

Analytical results for the first three holes drilled to date are
currently being evaluated by the company. The preliminary results are
consistent with an Olympic Dam-type target, as previously formulated.
Fjordland plans to complete the proposed drilling by the end of the
year.

As reported to Commander by Fjordland, the 2007 drilling program and
sampling protocol are being supervised by Derek Torgerson, Project
Geologist with Aurora Geosciences Ltd., who are contracted to provide
full project support. Appropriate quality control and quality assurance
protocols are used on the program. Standard reference samples are
inserted in each batch of assays. Drill core was quick logged in the
field and selected sections were transported to a base camp at the
Blackstone Lodge, where the core was logged and sampled in detail, and
stored. Drill core was prepared and analyzed in accordance with
industry standards by Eco-Tech Laboratories, an ISO-900:2000 certified
and accredited facility located in Kamloops, British Columbia,
utilizing multi-element ICP (induced coupled plasma) techniques. John
Peters, a qualified person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101,
prior to release, reviews drill results and technical data. True
thicknesses are not accurately known at this time; in some cases they
may be less than the core lengths reported.

Under the agreement, Fjordland may earn an initial 60 percent interest
in the property by paying Commander $250,000 in cash, issuing 1.6
million treasury shares of Fjordland to Commander and incurring
exploration expenditures on the property totaling $7-million over a
five-year period ending Dec. 31, 2011. Once Fjordland has earned its 60
percent interest, they have the option to increase their interest to 80
percent by issuing one million shares or $3-million cash to Commander,
and by completing a bankable feasibility study and making a final
lump-sum payment of $7-million cash to Commander. Commander also
retains certain earn-back rights if Fjordland elects not to increase
its interest to 80 percent.
