BIG HILL DRILLING DISCOVERS HAMMERDOWN-TYPE GOLD VEINS


The first diamond drill program on the Big Hill Project, Newfoundland, encountered two gold-bearing veins similar to those hosting gold at the Hammerdown gold mine located 25 kilometres to the southwest, directly on strike and along the same regional deformation zone.   Since there was no previous drilling on the property, the objective of the initial program was to test for the presence of a Hammerdown-type gold system.   This objective was achieved.


The two veins, each approximately 60 centimetres (2 feet) wide contain 5 – 10 percent aggregates of coarse crystalline pyrite along with visible traces of copper, lead and zinc mineralization, all key features at Hammerdown.  The preliminary results are of similar grade to early drill results at Hammerdown where subsequent drilling identified a high grade deposit.   Significant assay results for the two veins are tabulated below:


DDH No

BH-05-03

140.67-141.38

The program consisted of four diamond drill holes totaling 544.36 metres to test several geochemical and geophysical anomalies.  In addition to the intervals tabulated above, other narrow gold-quartz veins assaying from 0.10 to 0.90 g/t Au over 0.10 – 0.35 metres were encountered in the holes. Hole BH-05-04 contained no significant gold values.  The Big Hill veins are hosted by mafic volcanics and gabbros which have been highly altered and fractured.


The Hammerdown gold deposit is located west of Springdale in northern Newfoundland.  The deposit was developed by Major General Resources Ltd. (the predecessor company to Commander Resources Ltd.) and subsequently sold to Richmont Mines, Inc. who mined the deposit and processed the ore at their nearby Nugget Pond mill.  The mill is located 25 kilometres from the Big Hill Property.  The deposit, which produced 150,000 ounces at a grade of 16 g/t Au, was originally much larger, but cut off at shallow depth by a local fault.  No such fault has been located at Big Hill.


Substantial room exists on the 20 square kilometre Big Hill property for additional gold zones.  The Company’s claims extend for 3 to 4 kilometres along strike in each direction from the discovery drill holes.  Once all geological and geophysical data from the drill holes and discovery area is re-interpreted, plans for further work will be prepared.  Some in-fill geophysical work may be required before further drilling.


A map showing the location of the property and drill holes can be found on the company’s website.


Individual drill core samples were sealed in plastic sample bags and shipped by truck to Eastern Analytical Services Ltd. in Springdale, Newfoundland. Assaying was undertaken on saw-split NQ drill core.  All samples were coarsely ground with 250 gram splits pulverized to 150 mesh. A 30 gram pulp was assayed by standard fire assay procedure with AA finish.

DESPINASSY DRILLING EXTENDS MAIN ZONE


COMMANDER RESOURCES LTD. (CMD-TSX-V) has received the results for the final two holes of the initial 2005 Despinassy drill program from partner Alto Ventures Ltd. (ATV-TSX-V). Infill drilling on the DAC deposit confirmed the continuity of the gold mineralized zones for 100 metres (m) along strike and to a depth of 250m at a 25-metre drill spacing. Detailed results from the infill drilling program can be reviewed in the Alto news releases dated February 16, 2005 and April 14, 2005.


The final two holes of the 2005 program were step-out holes on the DAC deposit along strike and at depth confirming extension of the mineralized zones for up to 250m along strike and to at least 600m depth.  Hole DES05-82 intersected the mineralized zones a further 150m to the west of the DAC deposit. Hole DES05-83, a step-out hole at 460m depth, confirmed the continuity of the gold mineralized zones between prior intercepts of gold mineralization by Cameco Corporation at 300m and 600m depths.


The results from these step-out drill holes are as follows:

Earlier work by Cameco inferred, and Alto’s drilling confirmed, that the best gold occurrences are in areas of folding.  Since there are no bedrock outcrops nearby, the infill drilling has provided the necessary data to begin interpretation of the structural trends to determine plunge directions to the high-grade gold shoots. Re-logging of core from previous Cameco drilling and a compilation of all drill data is underway to gain this interpretation.  Management is currently reviewing all of the drill data and will provide a summary of the entire Despinassy program upon completion of their review.


The Despinassy gold project is located 75 kilometres (km) northeast of Val d’Or, Quebec. The Company is delineating gold mineralization along the Despinassy Shear Zone, a district scale, east-west trending structural break parallel to and 75 km north of the Cadillac-Larder Lake Break. This region has produced in excess of 90 million ounces of gold in prolific gold camps such as Val d’Or, Malartic, and Kirkland Lake.


Plan maps, longitudinal sections and cross sections of the Despinassy Shear Zone may be viewed here:

Quality Assurance/Quality Control


Core processing included descriptive logging and selection of samples for analyses.  The cores selected for analyses were sawed in half and one half was delivered to a commercial laboratory and the other half retained for future reference.  Gold assays were performed at ALS Chemex Laboratories in Val d’Or, Quebec.  The gold assaying method uses a standard Fire Assay with AA or Gravimetric finish technique, as requested by the Company, on a 30 gram sub-sample taken from a 250 gram split of the sample submitted.


The laboratory was instructed to prepare and analyze a second 250 gram split from the reject for those samples that indicated greater than 2 g/t Au on the initial analysis.  The results reported represent composites using weighted averages of all analyses performed on each specific sample.  Commercially prepared standards were inserted every 25 samples to ensure precision of the results.  Mike Koziol P.Geo., Alto’s Vice President of Exploration, is the designated qualified person and Robert J. Tremblay, P.Geo. (Quebec) supervised the diamond drilling at Despinassy.

COMMANDER COMMENCES URANIUM EXPLORATION PROGRAM



COMMANDER RESOURCES LTD. (CMD-TSX-V) announces that the first phase of work on its recently acquired Newfoundland uranium project will commence on May 29th.  A geological and prospecting crew will complete preliminary geological mapping and sampling of the property.  Uranium mineralization was originally discovered on the property in 1980 by Shell Minerals, and worked by the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) in the mid 1980’s before the uranium prices dropped and exploration work ceased.  CEGB was bought by Cameco Corporation in the early 1990’s.  The property has the potential to host a near-surface high grade uranium resource, the property is also close to a paved road and a shipping port.


Rock samples collected from several large boulder fields and outcrop exposures by both Shell and CEGB returned uranium values ranging from several hundred parts per million up to high grade values exceeding 2% U or 40 pounds per ton.  Several outcrop exposures in heavy till cover returned values up to 0.60% U (12 pounds per ton). The current price for uranium is approximately US$28 per pound.    


The first program to re-locate and verify the reported uranium occurrences and complete an assessment of the geological setting and overburden conditions precedes a larger program of geophysical surveying, trenching and possibly drill testing later in the summer.  A hand-held detection instrument known as a Scintillometer will be used to assist the prospectors in locating uranium-bearing minerals.    


The property, which is held under two separate option agreements described in the Company’s news releases dated February 22, 2005 and March 29, 2005, is located just north of the town of Burgeo situated on the south coast of Newfoundland.


For comparative purposes, the in-situ value of a rock or mineral deposit containing 0.60% uranium (at US$28/lb) is approximately equivalent to a rock containing 24 g/t gold (at US$420/ounce gold) or 12% copper (at US$1.44/lb).    


Bernard Kahlert (P.Eng), V.P. Exploration will be the Qualified Person under N.I. 43-101 supervising all aspects of the program.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2005

(Unaudited – See Notice)


1.

Nature of Operations and Going Concern


The Company is in the process of actively exploring and developing its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain mineral resources or ore reserves.  The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage.


The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral property interests is dependent upon one or more of the following:


- the discovery of ore reserves;

- the ability of the Company to obtain financing to complete development; and

- future profitable production from the properties or proceeds from disposition.


At March 31, 2005, the Company had incurred a deficit of $14,316,694 and had working capital of $1,912,629, which is not sufficient to achieve the Company’s planned business objectives for fiscal 2005. The Company will require additional financing to meet it’s currently budgeted 2005 exploration programs.


These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on continued financial support from its shareholders and other related parties, the ability of the Company to raise equity financing, and the attainment of profitable operations, external financings and further share issuances to meet the Company’s liabilities as they become payable. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.



2.

Significant Accounting Policies


(a)

Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.


(b)

Basis of presentation


The accompanying interim financial statements have not been reviewed by an Auditor and are prepared in accordance with GAAP in Canada with respect to the preparation of interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosure required by Canadian GAAP in the preparation of annual financial statements. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements are the same as those described in the annual financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these financial statements. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements including the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


(c)

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities


The CICA issued Accounting Guideline 15, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after November 1, 2004. This guideline addresses the application of consolidation principles to entities that are subject to control on a basis other than ownership based on voting equity. The Company adopted the accounting guideline on January 1, 2005. The adoption of this guideline did not have any impact on these financial statements.


(d)

Certain comparative figures


Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.



3.

Marketable Securities


Marketable securities are carried at the lower of cost or quoted market value. When market value is below cost, any unrealized loss is charged to income. The quoted market value of marketable securities at March 31, 2005 was $1,539,373.


Included in marketable securities are 167,647 common shares of Fjordland Exploration Inc., a company related by virtue of a common director and 1,720,000 common shares of Diamonds North Resources Ltd., a company related by virtue of another common director.  



4.

Field Supplies


In fiscal 2004, the Company pre-purchased $173,152 of field supplies for the upcoming 2005 Baffin Island exploration program. The supplies consist of fuel, propane, and other supplies which are stored in a facility in the Hamlet of Clyde River, Nunavut.

Stock-Based Compensation


The fair value of stock options used to calculate compensation expense is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions at March 31, 2005:


   

Risk-free interest rate

 

2.63%

Expected dividend yield

 

-

Expected stock price volatility

 

115.08%

Expected option life in years

 

3.18

   


Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options granted/vested during the period.

Income Taxes


Flow-through shares entitle a company that incurs certain resource expenditures in Canada to renounce them for tax purposes allowing the expenditures to be deducted for income tax purposes by the investors who purchased the shares. A future income tax liability arises from the renunciation of mineral exploration costs to investors of flow-through shares.


Funds raised through the issuance of flow-through shares are required to be expended on qualified Canadian mineral exploration expenditures, as defined pursuant to Canadian income tax legislation. The flow-through gross proceeds less the qualified expenditures made to date, represent the funds received from flow-through share issuances which have not been spent as at March 31, 2005 and which are held in trust for such expenditures. As at March 31, 2005, the amount of flow-through proceeds remaining to be expended is $301,657.

·

On February 16th, 2005, the Company received results for the first five holes of the Despinassy project in Quebec from partner Alto Ventures. The first five holes drilled on the DAC deposit intersected wide intervals of shear hosted gold mineralization, up to 33 metres thick, containing multiple, high grade quartz veins. The best results from each of the holes included: 14.6 g/t gold over 3.7 metres (including 51.2 g/t gold over 1.0 metre); 7.0 g/t gold over 7.2 metres (including 16.4 g/t gold over 2.7 metres); 6.7 g/t gold over 3.1 metres (including 14.0 g/t gold over 1.2 metres); 6.4 g/t gold over 5.9 metres (including 22.0g/t gold over 1.4 metres); and 45.8 g/t gold over 0.4 metres.


·

On March 16th, 2005, the Company entered into an option agreement with a private consortium based in Newfoundland to acquire a 100% interest in the Blue Hills and White Bear Uranium properties over a four year term by making cash payments of $82,200, issuing 201,000 common shares and completing $1,000,000 in exploration. On May 4, 2005 the Company signed that agreement, paid $7,500 in cash and issued 21,000 common shares to the vendors. On April 13th, 2005, the Company issued a warrant to the optionors to purchase 250,000 common shares exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share. The warrant is exercisable only if a Mineral Reserve (as defined in National Instrument 43-101) of at least $500 million is defined. The warrant will expire on the earlier of the date the Company exercises the option or March 4th, 2009. The agreement is subject to a 2% of Net Smelter Returns Royalty for the vendors with a buy-back of 1% of the royalty for $1 million.  


·

On March 29th, 2005, the Company entered into a separate option agreement to earn a 100% interest in the Couteau Lake Property from prospector Lai Lai Chan over a four year term by making total cash payments of $60,000, issuing 150,000 common shares and completing $300,000 in exploration work. Of this, $7,000 in cash and 20,000 common shares are due on signing of the final option agreement. The first year expenditure commitment is $40,000. The agreement is subject to a 2% of Net Smelter Returns Royalty for the vendor with a buy-back of 1% of the royalty for $1 million. The agreement is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.


·

Throughout the period, the Company raised $5,200 dollars through the exercise of stock options.

Subsequent Events to March 31, 2005


·

On May 2nd, 2005, the Company announced the start of the Baffin project. The program includes detailed ground geophysics, detailed structural mapping, sampling and diamond drilling. The first phase of the program will consist of a detailed ground magnetic survey, which will provide maximum structural detail over the priority target areas. Detailed geological mapping and diamond drilling are planned following completion of the ground geophysics. Approximately 2000 metres of drilling in 20-25 holes at Ridge Lake will be guided by previous surface gold results, drill results and magnetic data. These programs may be extended if warranted. Detailed structural mapping, channel sampling and ground geophysics will be completed over the “Qim 5” and “Durette” prospect areas to develop drill targets for planned testing later in the season. In preparation for this year, the Company mobilized fuel and other field supplies by barge in the fall of 2004. The cost savings of both of these measures will allow for a more productive 2005 exploration program.


·

On May 5, 2005, shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting approved all items set forth in the proxy including an increase in the number of allowable stock options to a maximum of 6,155,518, adoption of new articles of incorporation, and an increase the authorized share capital to unlimited from 100,000,000.   The latter two items came into effect on May 19, 2005.  Copies of the documents can be found on www.sedar.com.


·

Two diamond drill holes totalling 625 metres were completed on the Stewart Property. Both holes encountered widespread, low grade copper mineralization with several 0.40 to 1.0 metre intervals assaying 0.35 to 0.65 percent copper. The second hole of the program, designed to intersect an interpreted deep conductor encountered an internal sedimentary horizon between 370 and 416 metres, where the hole was terminated. The size of the interpreted conductor is well over 100 metres long and room exists for the anticipated copper breccia zone just to the north of the current deep drill hole. The conductor is open at depth within the breccia pipe. The drill program was assisted by the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program (2004), which provided 40 percent of the project funding.

________________________________________________________________________________


The Company’s principal project is located in Canada’s far north which poses an inherent risk associated with exploring due to the remoteness from populated areas, lack of surface infrastructure, and availability of skilled labour, fuel and supplies. Exploration is dependent on air transportation, fixed wing and helicopter, which are susceptible to bad weather. The unpredictability of the weather can cause unavoidable delays in carrying out a planned exploration program resulting in cost overruns.

Qimmiq, Baffin Island Nunavut


On June 18, 2003, the Company entered into an option agreement with BHP Billiton Diamonds Inc. (“BHP Billiton”) to explore for gold and base metals on Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated leases on Baffin Island, Nunavut. In 2004, a four month exploration program commenced in late May and continued until mid-September to follow-up encouraging results from the limited 2003 program.  The principal target on the property is gold mineralization hosted within a Proterozoic-age (1,800 million years old) iron formation sequence; however, potential also exists on the property for Broken Hill-type Zn-Ag and Nickel-Copper deposits. The project included detailed geological mapping, prospecting, airborne and ground Electromagnetic (“EM”) and Magnetic (“Mag”) geophysical surveys to follow up known surface gold occurrences and locate new gold and base metal prospects.  


Dewar Lake, Nunavut


On June 18, 2003, the Company entered into an option agreement with BHP Billiton to explore for gold and base metals on three Nunavut Prospecting Permits located on Baffin Island, totaling 162,947 acres.


Bravo Lake, Nunavut


On August 21, 2003, the Company entered into an option agreement with Falconbridge Limited (“Falconbridge”) to explore for gold, diamonds and other metals on twelve Nunavut Exploration Permits on Baffin Island, Nunavut.

Results of Operations


-Current Quarter Results


Cash and cash equivalents of $372,325 decreased $377,139 from the previous quarter, as cash was used to fund operating and investing activities. Operating activities used $376,316 of which general and administrative expenses used $231,681 and non-cash working capital items used $144,635. Investing activities used $6,023 with mineral property acquisitions and exploration costs using $183,624 and cash exploration funds providing $186,843. Financing activities provided $5,200 in cash through the issuance of common shares.


General and administrative expenses of $341,314 represented a $56,507 increase from the previous quarter $284,807. The increase was largely due to the recognition of $102,113 in stock-based compensation expense compared to the previous quarter expense of $7,855. Other fluctuations from the previous quarter are noted below:


·

Administration expense of $4,500 (2004 Q4 - $Nil) increased as the Company has retained the former President on a monthly consulting fee.


·

Investor relations and promotion expense of $62,336 (2004 Q4 - $54,337) increased as the Company incurred $7,410 for re-design of the website and corporate profile tradeshow booth.


·

Regulatory and transfer agent fees expense of $13,016 (2004 Q4 - $37,152) decreased significantly due to a $25,371 accrual for Part XII.6 interest on the unspent portion of the 2003 flow-through financing expended in 2004.


·

Write down of mineral properties of $21,007 (2004 Q4 - $152) reflects the expiration of an exploration licence on the Green Bay, Newfoundland property.


-Three months ended March 31, 2005 compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2004


The Company had no revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 whereas the comparative quarter included the final payment of the Company’s production interest in the Hammerdown/Rumbullion Gold Deposit. General and administrative expense of $341,314 (2004 - $413,530) represented a $72,216 decrease over fiscal 2004. Notable fluctuations in comparison to the comparative quarter are:


·

Insurance expense of $7,125 (2004 - $Nil) reflects the Company’s change in accounting treatment to record the unrecognized portion as a prepaid expenses whereas in the past the Company expensed the entire amount when paid.


·

Rent and storage expense of $23,831 (2004 - $6,646) reflects the Company’s larger office space.


·

Salaries and benefits expense of $72,732 (2004 - $103,202) represented a $30,470 decrease over  2004 which reflected the cost associated with changing presidents including a signing bonus paid to the new President to facilitate vacating his former position early and the transition period when compensation was paid to both presidents.

The Company’s predominant exploration project on Baffin Island, Nunavut is located in Canada’s far north and is subject to seasonal conditions. The Company’s exploration program ran from the spring to the fall and the majority of expenditures were incurred during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2004. The Company’s net mineral expenditures for these two quarters were $1,553,593 and $1,923,323, and the Company anticipates that this trend will continue in fiscal 2005.


Since the adoption of the CICA accounting standard for stock-based compensation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company’s general and administrative quarterly expense has increased and has been subject to large fluctuations. The granting and vesting of stock options is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and the resulting expense does not reflect the normal operations of the Company. The Company has included “adjusted general and administrative expense” without the stock-based compensation expense included which is more reflective of normal operations. In 2004, overall general and administrative expenses have increased as the Company increased investor relations activity in promoting the Company’s activities and overlap cost for the transition of the new President.

________________________________________________________________________________


Liquidity


At March 31, 2005, the Company had $1,912,629 in working capital, which will not be sufficient to complete the Company’s planned business objectives for 2005. To furnish the Company’s 2005 business objectives, management will seek flow-through financing to fund the proposed exploration programs in Canada and may sell portions of its marketable securities to assist with working capital requirements. Management is cognizant of the dilution to shareholders caused by equity financing and sees the sale of its marketable securities as an alternative to equity financing to preserve shareholder value. During the quarter, the Company raised $5,200 from the exercise of 20,000 stock options.


The Company does not have operating cash flow and has relied on equity financings to meet its cash requirements. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financings will be favourable.


Capital Resources


The Company has entered into option agreements whereby the Company is required to meet certain obligations during fiscal 2005 to keep the options in good standing:


·

On the Big Hill property in Newfoundland, the Company must issue 60,000 common shares to Black Bart Prospecting Inc. and spend a minimum of $75,000 in exploration expenditures before July 31, 2005.


·

On the Blue Hill and White Bear properties in Newfoundland, the Company must issue 21,000 common shares and spend a minimum of $75,000 in exploration expenditures before March 16, 2006.


·

On the Couteau lake Property in Newfoundland, the Company must issue 20,000 common shares and spend $40,000 in exploration expenditures by Spring 2006.


·

On Bravo Lake in Nunavut, the Company must spend a minimum of $71,000 in exploration expenditures before December 31, 2005.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company has not entered into any Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.


Related Party Transactions


Included in marketable securities are 1,720,000 common shares of Diamonds North Resources Ltd. (“Diamonds North”), a company related by a common director, Bernard Kahlert and 167,647 common shares of Fjordland Explorations Inc. a company related by a common director, Victor Tanaka.

________________________________________________________________________________


The Company shares certain administrative costs with four other companies related by virtue of common directors.  Included in accounts receivable is an aggregate of $3,288 owed by those companies for shared administrative expenses.


Included in accounts payable is $13,519 owed to Diamonds North relating to shared office premises and administrative staff.


Given that the Company’s directors and officers are engaged in a wide range of activities in the junior resource industry, the Company operates under the Conflict of Interest provisions found within the Business Corporations Act of BC.  In addition, management has adopted language from these provisions and incorporated them into the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.


Proposed Transactions


Subsequant to March 31, 2005, the Company signed a drill contract for the 2005 Baffin Island project.


Critical Accounting Estimates


There have been no significant changes in critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in the annual MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2004.


Changes in Accounting Polices


The CICA issued Accounting Guideline 15, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after November 1, 2004. This guideline addresses the application of consolidation principles to entities that are subject to control on a basis other than ownership based on voting equity. The Company adopted the accounting guideline on January 1, 2005. The adoption of this guideline did not have any impact on these financial statements.


Financial Instruments


Marketable securities are carried at the lower of cost or quoted market value.  When market value is below cost, any unrealized loss is charged to income. The quoted market value of marketable securities at March 31, 2005 was $1,539,373.


Other MD&A Requirements


Additional information relating to the Company, including the Company’s most recent Annual Information Form, is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
