/EINPresswire.com/ -- VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan 19, 2017) - Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CEM) ("Constantine" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has completed the sale of mineral claims to Lake Shore Gold Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tahoe Resources Inc. (see News Release dated November 7, 2016). Constantine has received CDN $4.5 million cash and a 100% interest in the Munro claim that is contiguous to Constantine's Munro-Croesus claims.

The mineral claims that have been sold, known as the Horseshoe, Four Corners and the Meunier Add-on claims, are located adjacent to Lake Shore's Fenn-Gib gold project in Ontario. They do not include Constantine's neighboring Munro Croesus Gold Property that is renowned for its exceptionally high-grade past production, or the Golden Mile Property, which collectively represent a rare opportunity to control an extensive, high potential land position in the prolific Timmins gold camp.

Constantine also retain the rights to NSR buy-down provisions associated with the underlying property agreements on all of the properties sold to Lake Shore.

* 8.125 million tonne inferred resource grading 1.41% copper, 5.25% zinc, 0.32 g/t gold and 31.7 g/t silver. See the Company's news release date May 11, 2015 and available on www.sedar.com. Resource estimate utilizes an NSR cut-off of US$75/t with assumed metal prices of US$1200/oz for gold, US$18/oz for silver, US$2.75/lb for copper, and US$1.00/lb for zinc. Estimated metal recoveries are 89.6% for copper, 84.9% for zinc, 75% for gold (61.5% to the Cu concentrate and 13.5% to the Zn concentrate) and 89.7% for silver (73.7% to the Cu concentrate and 16% to the Zn concentrate) as determined from metallurgical locked cycle flotation tests. An "Inferred Mineral Resource is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. Confidence in the estimate is insufficient to allow the meaningful application of technical and economic parameters or to enable an evaluation of economic viability worthy of public disclosure.
