Constantine Completes Drill Program at Golden Mile Property and
Regains Control of Project
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 9, 2014) -
Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:CEM) ("Constantine"
or the "Company") is pleased to report on the recently completed
five hole, 1182 meter, drill program at the Company's 100% owned
Golden Mile property ("Golden Mile" or "the Property") in Timmins,
Ontario. Golden Mile is a large, 68 square kilometer property
located 9 kilometers northeast of Goldcorp's multi-million ounce
Hoyle Pond deposit and covers the projection of the Pipestone Fault
System on the north margin of the Timmins gold camp that has
produced more than 55 million ounces of gold.
Drilling confirmed the presence of a major structure interpreted
to be a western extension of the Pipestone fault, which is
associated with important gold mineralization along trend to both
the east and west of the Golden Mile property. Strongly altered
ultramafic rock units were intersected in contact with a graphitic
shear zone and pyritic sediments in the two drill holes designed to
test the interpreted structural contact. Notably, neither the
structure nor the altered ultramafics intersected in these drill
holes had been previously identified on government geology maps.
The drilling yielded some weakly anomalous gold and management is
encouraged by the identification of an important structure,
alteration with associated pathfinder geochemistry, veining and
permissive rock units known to be important hosts for
mineralization within the Timmins gold camp.
The Golden Mile property is located in an excellent geological
and structural setting within the high-grade Timmins gold camp, and
has received only limited historic drilling owing to extensive
overburden cover. These new drill holes, which tested only a small
portion of the project area, provide important data for further
targeting and exploration of the property.
The exploration program was funded by Teck Resources Limited
("Teck") pursuant to an Option and Joint Venture Agreement (see
news release dated May 9, 2012 for Agreement terms). Teck has
notified Constantine they are relinquishing their rights to earn an
interest in the Golden Mile project, and the Option and Joint
Venture Agreement has been terminated. Constantine would like to
thank Teck for funding approximately $1.4 million in exploration
expenditures on the project over the past two years. This work has
provided an excellent stepping stone for future advancement and
discovery on the large, well located land package.
