(\"Constantine\")(TSX Venture - CEM) and Carlin Gold Corporation (TSXV:CGD) (\"Carlin\")(TSX Venture - CGD) jointly (the \"Companies\") announce the start of exploration work on Yukon gold properties of the Constantine-Carlin 50/50 Joint Venture (the \"JV\"). The Companies also report staking of 1,541 additional claims in six areas prospective for Carlin-type mineralization in the Mayo and Watson Lake Mining Districts, east central Yukon, Canada.The Constantine-Carlin Joint Venture was formed in the early fall of 2010 specifically to target and explore for Carlin-type gold deposits in the Yukon's Selwyn Basin. The JV now controls a total of 4,967 claims in twelve project areas, comprising approximately 1,000 square kilometers (385 square miles) which represents one of the largest property positions in this new district (see attached figure). A 2011 program of $1.2 million has commenced. It is designed to rapidly evaluate targets and, subject to sampling results, advance them to the drill testing stage in 2011.Several of the project areas contain historical documented anomalous gold and arsenic soil and silt geochemistry. These properties will be advanced quickly to re-establish and expand on the historical work. Sampling will take place in July on the Mac Pass project, which has a strong and large historical arsenic soil and silt anomaly (gold not assayed). The TUT project contains coincident anomalous historical soil, silt and rock geochemical values for gold and arsenic encountered in reconnaissance-type coverage which were not further defined. Geological mapping, prospecting and geochemical sampling of these targets is designed to establish drill targets that can be tested during the 2011 field season. Stream sediment and soil anomaly stage prospects in the Yukon have advanced rapidly into major drill hole discoveries. Over 7,000 soils and silt regional samples, designed to identify additional targets, are programmed in the initial evaluation stage in addition to the detailed work.To View Map Image, Please Copy and Paste URL Below into a new browser:http://thenewswire.ca/client_files/2011-06-23-0.pdfHighlighted features of t...
