Constitution Mining Review of Site Visit by MTI Holland BV Managing Director
Lima, Peru - October 11, 2010 - Constitution Mining Corp. (CMIN.OB) is pleased to provide the results of a recent visit to its GoldSands properties by Henk van Muijen, Managing Director of MTI Holland B.V. Henk has a mining and mineral processing background from Delft University of Technology. He worked for more than 25 years for IHC Merwede. Most of his career has been directed at dredge mining and related subjects. Since 1993 he has also lectured on alluvial and marine mining at Delft University of Technology, having published more than 40 papers about this subject.
MTI Holland B.V. was retained for consulting services by Constitution Mining Corporation. In line with this service, a site visit to the Rio Maranon project area in Peru was arranged, and this past August, Henk van Muijen, the highest executive and mining specialist of MTI Holland visited Constitution Mining's GoldSands properties. The objective of the visit was to determine further data for a potential test mining, to be implemented once the current drill program II concludes.
Van Muijen stated in part:
"The exploration program is run with a professional attitude following well established procedures...The drilling equipment, consisting of a Churn drill and two Bangka drills is adapted to its task under the Rio Maranon site conditions and (is) well suited for these circumstances...
"Based on these drilling results, a first assumption of the deposit is already drafted which might be sufficient for a trial/pilot mining operation. However, much more exploration work will be required to establish a proper resource/reserve position.
"Based on this model (the depositing model of the Rio Maranon Basin), more in-depth exploration can be executed which might result in deposits that can sustain large dredge mining operations. In this respect, it was encouraging to visit a recently discovered outcrop of a paleo-channel (meaning "old channel" - a remnant of a stream channel cut into older rock and later filled by sediments of younger rock).
"...a pre-feasibility study can be started to evaluate (the possibility of) mining the auriferous fluvial system being explored at the moment. In this study, several dredge mining options can be analyzed for different capacities. Based upon a financial appraisal, the most suitable options can be worked out in more detail and used to prepare a cash flow analysis."
Constitution Mining CEO Michael Stocker states "The discovery of a paleo-channel (which took place during van Mujin's visit), which could potentially contain economically viable alluvial gold deposits, is an important development for the company. This is significant because it indicates that in addition to the mineralization which the company has been encountering on a consistent basis during its drill program, an additional source of gold-bearing mineralization may also exist nearby.
"I am of course satisfied as well, that an internationally recognized expert like Henk from MTI / IHC Holland confirms that our exploration program is run with a professional attitude following well established procedures. I am very confident that we will conclude our Drill Program II (100 holes) by approximately October 15 and can then work on the conclusions."

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 Mara��n 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, the Company cautions that these results do not yet indicate the presence of a commercially viable mineral deposit and further exploration is needed to determine the full feasibility of the project.
The full implementation of these programs will require the Company to secure additional financing.
