Constantine Announces US$5.0 Million Budget for 2015 Palmer Copper-Zinc-Silver-Gold Project, Southeast Alaska

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Mar 3, 2015) - Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CEM) ("Constantine" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the 2015 budget for the Palmer VMS Project, Alaska ("Palmer" or "Project"). A third-year budget of US$5.0 million has been approved by partner Dowa Metals & Mining Co., Ltd. ("Dowa"). To the end of 2014, Dowa has spent approximately US$10 million on the project.

The year's drill program will focus on extensions of the exceptional drill results encountered in last year's drilling program. Drill hole CMR14-65, which intersected 89 meters grading 0.8% copper and 5.0% zinc, the most significant intersection to date, is on the extremity of known drilled South Wall mineralization.

Garfield MacVeigh, President and CEO states, "2015 is poised to be a promising year for Constantine and the advancement of the Palmer project. With an updated resource estimate underway, and our thickest mineralized intersections open to expansion, the opportunity has never been more compelling."

About the Palmer Project

Palmer is a resource expansion stage, high-grade volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) project that was calculated to host a 4.75 million tonne inferred resource estimate grading 1.84% copper, 4.57% zinc, 0.28 g/t gold and 29.0 g/t silver in 2010*. More than double the number of holes have been drilled on the project since then, and the Company is currently working on an updated resource estimate to be completed in early 2015. The additional holes have significantly expanded the total footprint of mineralization and have provided a much higher degree of confidence in the geological model and the potential to continue to expand the size of the deposit(s). The Palmer project is located in a very accessible part of coastal southeast Alaska, with road access to the edge of the property and within 60 kilometers of the year-round deep sea port of Haines. Mineralization at Palmer occurs within the same belt of rocks that is host to the Greens Creek mine, one of the world's richest VMS deposits. There are at least 25 separate base metal and/or barite occurrences and prospects on the Palmer property, indicating the potential for discovery of multiple deposits.

* See the Company's technical report entitled, "Palmer VMS Project, Southeast Alaska, Mineral Resource Estimation and Exploration Update" dated March 4, 2010 and available on www.sedar.com. Resource estimate utilizes an NSR cut-off of US$50/t with assumed metal prices of US$700/oz for gold, US$12/oz for silver, US$2.25/lb for copper, and US$0.85/lb for zinc, with estimated metal recoveries of 55%, 55%, 90%, and 90% respectively. 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. Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to Inferred Mineral Resources, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will be upgraded to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource as a result of continued exploration. 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.
