Commerce Resource Updates Field Program at the Ashram Rare Earth Deposit

Commerce Resource (TSXV:CCE) has provided an update on its 2016 field program on its 100 percent owned Ashram Rare Earth deposit in Quebec.
As quoted in the press release:

The field program consisted of three main components; resource definition drilling, environmental baseline data collection, and hydrogeological testwork. The drilling and environmental components were completed in mid-September (see news release dated September 20, 2016). The Company is now pleased to report that the hydrogeological test program has been successfully completed.
The hydrogeological program was comprised of two phases. The first phase included the installation of vibrating wire piezometers and monitoring wells down several previously completed drill holes, and was completed in mid-September. The second phase involved pumping from drill hole EC16-160, completed at the northwest end of the deposit at a location determined using the packer testing data collected in 2015.
The objective of the pump test was to induce a drawdown and subsequent recovery of the water table across the entire site, with concurrent data collection by the instruments installed in the surrounding holes on the north, south, and western sides of the deposit. The pump test was carried out over a continuous seven-day period, with the recovery then monitored for a seven-day period thereafter.
