Constantine Announces Partner-Funded Winter Exploration Program-Golden Mile Property, Ontario

17/12/2012 12:00pm

Marketwired Canada


Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CEM) ("Constantine" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") is planning a
winter exploration program on the Company's Golden Mile property in Timmins,
Ontario, comprising approximately $600,000 in exploration expenditures The
large, 68 square kilometer, Golden Mile Property is located 9 kilometers
northeast of Goldcorp's multi-million ounce Hoyle Pond deposit and covers the
Pipestone Fault System where it crosses the "Porcupine Giant Mine Corridor" that
has produced more than 55 million ounces of gold. The winter program is designed
to follow-up on targets generated from Teck-funded exploration and compilation
work carried out in August and September, and is planned to include overburden
drilling and ground-based geophysical surveys, subject to permit approvals and
ongoing stakeholder consultation.


A small overburden drill program conducted in the 1980s identified a strong
gold-in-till anomaly at the southern edge of the property, suggesting the
potential for a significant gold mineralized bedrock source located up-ice to
the north of these drill holes. Defining gold-grain dispersal trains with
overburden drilling is a proven technique for tracing glacially transported gold
back to its bedrock source. The combination of the historic gold-grain data and
interpretations of geological, geochemical and geophysical work completed by
Constantine has defined a large prospective area for gold mineralization. This
area is the focus of the planned winter program, with the objective of
identifying and refining diamond drill targets. Details for the winter work
program are being finalized and Constantine is currently targeting start-up in
early 2013. 


Teck Agreements

Teck can earn a 51% interest in the Golden Mile property by incurring $1,500,000
in exploration expenditures by September 30, 2015 and making $25,000 annual cash
payments to Constantine. Teck can earn an additional 15% interest in the
property, for a total interest of 66%, by incurring an additional $3,500,000 in
expenditures by September 30, 2019 and making $50,000 annual cash payments to
the Company. Constantine has a Technical Services Agreement to manage project
activities. 


The Golden Mile option and joint venture agreement was one of three property
rights agreements between Teck and Constantine that were announced May 9, 2012
concurrent with a $525,000 private placement by Teck. The rights granted to Teck
by the Munro Selection and Phoenix property agreements have expired unexercised.
Teck no longer maintains any rights or encumbrances on either of these 100%
owned Constantine properties.
