Commander And Donner To Re-Activate The South Voisey's Bay Nickel
Project
======================================================================

Commander Resources Ltd. (CMD -- TSX Venture) reports that the Company
and its partner, Donner Metals Ltd. (DON -- TSX Venture), collectively
the Companies, have agreed to re-activate the Sarah Lake project, part
of the South Voisey's Bay (SVB) properties in Labrador. The project is
located about 90 kilometres south of the Voisey's Bay Nickel Mine and
is situated on one of the best developments of anomalous Ni-Cu sulphide
mineralization hosted by mafic plutonic rocks in the region outside of
Voisey's Bay.

The Companies have maintained their interests in the property and
adjacent ground since first acquired during the staking rush that
immediately followed the Voisey's Bay discovery in the mid 1990's.

The Sarah Lake property covers a portion of the extensive Pants Lake
Gabbro Complex, which is similar in age and chemical composition to the
intrusions that host the 150 Mt. Voisey's Bay nickel deposits. Large
areas of the key basal contact of the gabbro lie within a few hundred
metres of the surface and significant areas have not been sufficiently
explored for nickel-bearing massive sulphide accumulation. Government
geologists have calculated that a very large volume of nickel metal has
been removed from the gabbro melt and it is interpreted that the nickel
has been concentrated in magmatic sulphides during the injection of the
intrusion(s). The location of this concentration has yet to be
discovered.

In a 2000 publication by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador
(by A. Kerr), sulphide mineralization from the Pants Lake Gabbro is
described as, "texturally and mineralogically similar to Voisey's Bay"
and that "virtually all of the gabbroic rocks have been depleted in Ni
and Cu by interaction with sulphidic liquids." In addition, the
publication goes on to say that "the potential of the Pants Lake area
is far from fully tested as the intrusion has a surface area about 100
times larger than the Voisey's Bay intrusion."

Previous work determined that a large portion of the North Gabbro-Black
Gabbro phase of the Pants Lake Complex underlies the Sarah Lake
property. This portion of the North Gabbro is associated with numerous
nickel sulphide intersections ranging from 0.5% nickel to 11.9% nickel
on the property immediately to the west of Sarah Lake. For example,
historical intersections located less than one kilometre to the west of
the Sarah Lake property reported from the Donner/Northern Abitibi joint
venture included:

11.9% nickel, 9.6% copper over 1.10 metres in the footwall (Hole 97-75)
1.13% nickel, 0.78% copper over 15.7 metres in gabbro (Hole 97-96)
4.49% nickel, 2.6% copper over 0.20 metres in gabbro (Hole 98-131)

The North Gabbro in this area contains several other geological
characteristics that are associated with Voisey's Bay nickel such as
"Leopard Spot" textures and assimilation by the gabbro of large volumes
of local country rock. Furthermore, the latest work showed that very
little of the North Gabbro has been tested by drilling here, leaving
ample room for a Voisey's Bay sized deposit on the Sarah Lake property.

Previous geophysical surveys located discrete conductors at a depth
coincident with the interpreted base of the North Gabbro. Since high
grade nickel sulphide deposits are usually highly conductive, the
Companies have decided to undertake an extensive low frequency
electromagnetic (EM) survey on the Sarah Lake Property utilizing the
well known UTEM system to better define the existing anomalies and
identify new prospective targets.

Crews have been mobilized to the property to re-habilitate the camp
facilities. Also, previously cut lines will be inspected and
re-habilitated as necessary and extra line cutting may be required for
the proposed survey. It is expected that about 50 line kilometres of
surveying will cover the favorable ground on the Sarah Lake property.
Timing for the work has not been finalized due to the availability of
contractors, but the plan is to complete the work in October if
possible. Alternatively, the survey work will be done in April/May of
2008.

About three kilometres to the north of the Sarah Lake Property, the
Company owns 100% of the Sally and Sadie claims and 59.9% of the
Adlatok 1 property, all of which form a contiguous block adjoining the
Sarah Lake property. Work by the Company in the western portion of this
block identified a highly contaminated gabbro which appears to extend
eastward. A reconnaissance AMT-EM survey (audio-magneto-telluric)
identified three apparent conductors on these properties on lines
spaced one kilometre apart. The Company is assessing the logistics and
budget for completing approximately 60 kilometres of UTEM-EM survey, in
conjunction with work on the Sarah Lake property, to detail and verify
the AMT anomalies on Sally, Adlatok1 and Sadie.

The Company owns 48.2% of the Sarah Lake Property, 59.9% of the Adlatok
1 and 100% of Sally and Sadie. Donner is the operator of the Sarah
Lake Joint Venture and Commander is the operator of the Adlatok1 Joint
Venture.

The new geophysical data will be integrated with existing geological,
geochemical and geophysical data to generate drill targets for 2008.

Summary information and maps of the properties can be found on the
Company's website at www.commanderresources.com.
