VANCOUVER, British Columbia,
Nov. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. (TSX Venture – CEM) ("Constantine"
or the "Company") is pleased to report initial drill results for
Ocean Park Ventures Corp.'s ("Ocean Park") 2011 drill program
carried out on the Company's 100% owned Trapper Gold project,
northern British Columbia. The
100% partner funded program included 8,581 meters of drilling in 42
holes, with assay results for 24 holes now received. Ocean Park can
earn a 70% interest in the project by spending $9.75 million in work expenditures and issuing
certain cash and share payments to Constantine.
Gold-silver +/- copper, lead, and zinc mineralization has been
identified in multiple different environments within an inferred
large copper-gold porphyry setting. At the Main Zone, drilling has
intersected gold mineralization over a 2.2 kilometre strike length
and includes both porphyry hosted and structurally controlled gold.
Porphyry hosted mineralization, which represents a potential bulk
tonnage target, consists of disseminated and stockwork sulphide
within near-surface feldspar porphyry dykes and sills (Table
1).

Reported intersections represent drilled widths, true widths
are unknown.
A large number of gold- silver-lead-zinc mineralized structures
have also been intersected in Main Zone drilling. Structures
are high-angle and inferred to radiate from a main porphyry centre.
Highlight results are summarized in Table 2.

Reported intersections represent drilled widths, true widths
are unknown. Drill holes TG-11-003, 007, 008, 009, 015, 016, 019,
021, 032 and 037 all intersected iron carbonate plus sulfide
mineralization, but did not intersect mineralization of greater
than 1 g/t gold over greater than a metre.
Gold bearing semi-massive sulfide stockworks intersected in
TG-11-004, 018 and 040 project to surface, and have returned grab
samples up to 14 g/t gold. Follow-up drilling is planned by
Ocean Park to test these targets in 2012.
In addition to gold mineralized porphyry in drill core,
signatures of a property-wide gold and copper porphyry system were
identified. These include both large-scale geophysical and
geochemical zoning patterns, porphyry style hydrothermal breccias,
and grab samples with up to 0.43 percent copper.
Ocean Park reports plans to immediately undertake an airborne
ZTEM geophysical survey to follow up on these discoveries, the
results of which will be used together with 2011 exploration
results to guide an expanded 2012 drill program. Over the course of
the work program Ocean Park expanded their property position in the
area through staking of additional claims and option agreements
with third parties. Some of the newly acquired ground falls under
an Area of Interest defined within the option agreement between
Constantine and Ocean Park. A more detailed description of the 2011
work program and current property holdings can be found at Ocean
Park's website (www.oceanparkventures.com).
Corporate News
Constantine announces that it has made the final payment for the
purchase of the Munro-Croesus property by issuing 250,000 shares of
the Company to the vendor of the property. Constantine
acquired the property in October
2007, but reserved 250,000 shares of the acquisition price
subject to confirmation of certain environmental conditions, which

terminated its investor relations agreement with Mr. Robert Jeffery.
About the Company
Constantine is a gold and copper exploration company that, in
addition to the 100% partner funded Trapper Gold project, has
multiple active projects located in premier North American
exploration environments. These are highlighted by the 100% owned
Palmer Project, located in a very accessible part of southeast
Alaska, that is host to a NI43-101
compliant 4.12 million tonne inferred resource grading 2.01%
copper, 4.79% zinc, 0.30 g/t gold and 31 g/t silver (using an NSR
cut-off of US$75/t; see news release dated January 20, 2010), the
100% owned Timmins area
Munro-Croesus Project that includes a past-producing mine property
that yielded some of the highest grade gold ever mined in
Ontario, and a 50/50 Joint Venture
with Carlin Gold exploring a 1000
km2 land position in an emerging new Carlin-type gold district in
Yukon.
