CONSTANTINE LAUNCHES PRELIMINARY ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT ON PALMER PROJECT, SOUTHEAST ALASKA

Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. has selected JDS Energy & Mining Inc. to prepare a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) of the potential viability of the mineral resources at the Palmer copper-zinc-gold-silver project in southeast Alaska. The company has also engaged Klohn Crippen Berger Ltd. (“KCB”) to complete the water and waste management design components. An updated mineral resource estimate scheduled for completion in the coming weeks will form the basis of the PEA.

JDS and KCB are both highly skilled and reputable companies, and their work will be supported by Company personal and other key technical consultants. While the Palmer PEA gets underway, we continue to very actively explore the Palmer Project with a 10,000-meter drill program focused on resource expansion and regional targets, including the AG Zone where recent drilling has significantly expanded this new high-grade discovery.

About the Palmer Project

Palmer is a high-grade volcanogenic massive sulphide-sulphate (VMS) project, with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 8.1 million tonnes grading 1.41% copper, 5.25% zinc, 0.32 g/t gold and 31.7 g/t silver*. The resource was last estimated in May 2015 and a new resource estimate is currently underway that will include drilling completed from 2015 to 2017. The Project is being advanced as a joint venture between Constantine (51%) and Dowa Metals & Mining Co Ltd. (49%), with Constantine as operator. The Project is located in a very accessible part of coastal Southeast Alaska, with road access to the edge of the property and within 60 kilometers of the year-round deep-sea port of Haines. Mineralization at Palmer occurs within the same belt of rocks that is host to the Greens Creek mine, one of the world’s richest VMS deposits. VMS deposits are known to occur in clusters and with at least 25 separate base metal and/or barite occurrences and prospects on the Project, there is abundant potential for discovery of multiple deposits at Palmer.
