Constantine Intersects 6.1 Meters Of 1.5% Copper And 9.2% Zinc In Deepest Massive Sulphide Intersection To Date

September 10, 2009

Palmer VMS Project, Alaska

Vancouver, B.C. � Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. (the �Company�) (TSX.V: CEM) is pleased to announce additional drill results and progress update for the 2009 drill program at the Company�s Palmer copper-zinc-gold-silver rich volcanogenic massive sulphide (�VMS�) project. Drill hole CMR09-26, targeting the depth extension of South Wall Zone II, intersected the deepest massive sulphide to date. The new step-out drill intersection is located 80 meters down-dip and 40 meters west of 2008 drill hole CMR08-22, and confirms that South Wall mineralization continues to remain strong to depth. Additional drilling continues to test extensions of the South Wall to depth and along strike. The Palmer project is located in a very accessible part of southeast Alaska, 60 kilometres by road from the year-round deep sea port of Haines.

Highlights

Progress Update

A total of seven holes in the 2009 drilling program have been completed to date, CMR09-23 through CMR09-29, with three additional holes currently in progress. Assay results have now been received for three of the seven holes completed. Additional results will be released as they come available. A long section depicting South Wall zone pierce points is available at www.constantinemetals.com.

Preliminary mineralogical and metallurgical work is in progress on ten samples of South Wall and RW zone mineralization. Density measurements have been obtained on split core for all assay samples (624 samples) included in each significant South Wall and RW zone intersection. The density data have been collected to assist in future planned resource estimation.

About the Palmer VMS Project

The copper-rich Palmer Project represents one of North America�s newest volcanogenic massive sulphide discoveries. Drilling to date has defined the South Wall mineralization 380 meters horizontally along strike, and 315 meters vertically down dip.  The South Wall with its three distinctive stratigraphic stacked zones occurs on the steep limb of a large anticlinal fold, and is correlative with the mineralization in the RW Zone that occurs on the shallow dipping upright limb of the fold (see figures at www.constantinemetals.com). The presence of massive sulphide on both sides of the fold indicates a sizeable massive sulphide system, with zones on each limb offering excellent opportunity for further expansion.

About the Company

Constantine has a 100% interest in two exceptional projects located in world class exploration environments where management has strong familiarity and expertise. These include the Palmer Project, where the Company has made a major new copper-zinc-silver-gold discovery in a very accessible part of southeast Alaska, and the Munro-Croesus Project a past producing mine property that yielded some of the highest grade gold ever mined in Ontario.

Notes:  

Samples of drill core were cut by a diamond blade rock saw, with half of the cut core placed in individual sealed polyurethane bags and half placed back in the original core box for permanent storage. Sample lengths typically vary from a minimum one foot interval to a maximum 6 foot interval with an average 3 to 5 foot sample length.  Drill core samples were shipped directly by air freight from Whitehorse in sealed woven plastic bags to ALS-Chemex laboratories in North Vancouver.  ALS Chemex laboratories operate according to the guidelines set out in ISO/IEC Guide 25. Gold was determined by fire-assay fusion of a 30 g sub-sample with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Various metals including silver, gold, copper, lead and zinc were analyzed by inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) atomic emission spectroscopy, following multi-acid digestion.  The elements silver, copper, lead and zinc were determined by ore grade assay for samples that returned values >10,000 ppm by ICP analysis. Density measurements were determined at the project site by Constantine personnel on cut core for each assay sample, with approximately 10% of all samples sent to ALS Chemex laboratories for external verification.

The 2009 exploration program for the Palmer project is managed by Darwin Green, VP Exploration for Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. and a qualified person as defined by Canadian National Instrument 43-101.  Mr. Green has reviewed the information contained in this news release and has also verified the analytical data for  drill core samples disclosed in this release by reviewing the blanks, duplicates and certified reference material standards and confirming that they fall within limits as determined by acceptable industry practice. The analytical results have also been compared to visual estimates for the base metals to check for any obvious discrepancies between analytical results and the visual estimates.
