We look forward to maximizing the potential ofthis great opportunity".About Constitution Mining Corp.Our goal is to locate a commercially viable gold deposit andcontinuously increase the amount of gold underlying each of ouroutstanding shares. To build such value, we are focusing on therapidly developing Gold Sands region of Peru, where we have optioned382 square kilometers (147.5 square miles) of mining properties - thelargest such block in the district.The Gold Sands of Peru were laid down by eons of alluvial erosion.For millions of years, the waters of the Santiago and the Maranonrivers have been carving their way through the gold-rich mountaincanyons of the Andes, carrying off vast amounts of gold anddepositing much of the treasure in loose gravels and sands - GoldSands - below the Manseriche gorge in Northeastern Peru. There therivers reach a broad flood plain, slow to a crawl and release theircargo.Historical drilling and sampling data from more than 500 test holesin the "Discovery Area" located on Constitution Mining's propertiesindicates the presence of significant alluvial gold in the region. Wehave designed programs to confirm the accuracy of this historicaldata with the intent of capturing the profit potential of the area byapplying recently enhanced mining technologies that are especiallywell suited to low-density, near-surface deposits. These green-miningtechnologies are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly --features that support their profitable use.The implementation of these programs will require the company tosecure additional financing.For further details, please see today's current 8K filing.Further information about Constitution Mining Corp may be found atwww.ConstitutionMining.com.On behalf of the Board:Dr. Michael Stocker - ChairmanConstitution Mining Corp.Investor InquiriesToll Free: 888-475-0070Direct Dial: 646-755-3352Email: Info(at)ConstitutionMining.comDisclaimerThis release contains forward-looking statements that are based onthe beliefs of Constitution Mining Corp. management and reflectConstitution Mining Corp. current expectations as contemplated undersection 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
