About Constitution Mining Corp. (CMIN.OB)
The Company's goal is to locate large-scale commercially viable gold deposits and continuously increase the amount of gold underlying its outstanding shares. The Company is interested primarily in geographical areas that are home to several significant proven gold deposits, including highly prospective districts likely to hold further large deposits.
Peru
The first and most active project is in the Gold Sands region of Peru where the Company holds options on 461 square kilometers (178 square miles) of mining property, the largest such block in the district. These Gold Sands were laid down by eons of alluvial erosion. For millions of years, the waters of the Santiago and the Maranon rivers have been carving their way through the gold-rich mountain canyons of the Andes, carrying off vast amounts of gold and depositing it in the loose gravels and sands - Gold Sands - in the area the Company now controls.
Results from test holes drilled during CMIN's 26-hole Phase I exploratory drill program indicate the presence of significant alluvial gold. The Company is now actively engaged in conducting a Phase II drill program focused on grid drilling a 2.5 square kilometer region. While the results from the Phase I drill program and the initial results of the Phase II, 100-hole drill program are highly favorable, further results are needed to determine the full feasibility of the project.
The full implementation of these programs will require the Company to secure additional financing.
