In order for Ocean Park to earn a 50% interest in the property, total consideration consists of $100,000 in cash payments, 1,000,000 shares and $4,750,000 in work expenditures by December 15, 2014. In order to earn an additional 20%, for a total interest of 70%, Ocean Park must issue an additional 500,000 shares to Constantine by December 15, 2015 and spend an additional $5,000,000 in exploration by December 15, 2017.

About the Company

Constantine is a gold and copper exploration company with multiple active projects located in premier North American exploration environments. These are highlighted by the 100% owned Palmer Project, where Constantine has discovered a new copper-zinc-silver-gold deposit in a very accessible part of southeast Alaska, and the Munro-Croesus Project, that includes a past-producing mine property that yielded some of the highest grade gold ever mined in Ontario. The Palmer Project is host to a National Instrument 43-101 compliant 4.12 million tonne inferred resource grading 2.01% copper, 4.79% zinc, 0.30 g/t gold and 31 g/t silver (using an NSR cut-off of US$75/t; see news release dated January 20, 2010) that is open to expansion.

Constantine also controls a major, 700 km2 land position in an emerging new Carlin-type gold district in Yukon that is part of a 50/50 joint venture with Carlin Gold Corporation and will be the focus of an aggressive exploration program in 2011.
