VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb 19, 2014) - Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CEM) ("Constantine" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a five hole, minimum 1000 meter, winter drill program has commenced on the Company's Golden Mile property ("Golden Mile" or "the Property") in Timmins, Ontario. The Property is currently optioned to Teck Resources Ltd. ("Teck") (see news release dated May 9, 2012 for Agreement terms) and the program is being funded by Teck and managed by Constantine.
Garfield MacVeigh, President and CEO of Constantine, states, "We are excited to have our crews mobilized and drilling in progress at the Golden Mile in a relatively underexplored part of the Timmins gold mining camp."
The minimum 1000 meter Golden Mile drill program is expected to last around one month and will test coincident geophysical, geological and geochemical targets that are located in an excellent geological and structural setting within the high-grade Timmins gold camp that has received only limited historic drilling owing to extensive overburden cover.
