[{"type":"text","content":"\nCARLIN-CONSTANTINE JOINT VENTURE DEFINES MULTIPLE SOIL/SILT ANOMALIES ON YUKON GOLD PROPERTIES\n\n(via Thenewswire.ca)\n\n \nConstantine Metal Resources Ltd. (\"Constantine\") (TSX Venture - CEM) and Carlin Gold Corporation (\"Carlin\") (TSX Venture - CGD) jointly (the \"Companies\") are pleased to provide an update on the $1.2 million exploration program on Yukon gold properties of the Constantine-Carlin 50/50 Joint Venture (the \"JV\"). The JV is exploring for Carlin-type gold deposits in Yukon's Selwyn Basin, and controls 4,967 claims in twelve gold property areas totaling approximately 1,000 square kilometers. With more than 6500 samples collected to date, initial reconnaissance sampling has identified multiple soil and silt geochemical anomalies that are the focus of follow-up infill sampling, gridding and mapping with the objective of rapidly establishing quality drill targets.\n\n\n \nExploration Update:\n\n\n \n-Partial to complete first pass coverage has been completed on all of the twelve JV gold properties; this includes stream silt sampling, contour and ridge soil sampling, and prospecting.\n\n\n \n-Initial work at the HG property, located adjacent to ATAC Resources' Rackla gold project and Strategic Metals Ltd's Crag property, has identified zones of anomalous arsenic and mercury in soils, structurally controlled alteration, and prospective carbonate units, including platey calcareous siltstones and limestone that are interpreted to be favourable host rocks for gold mineralization. HG is located within a thirty-kilometer long trend of anomalous arsenic defined by government regional silt (RGS) data that includes the Nadaleen trend, host to ATAC's Osiris and Conrad discoveries (Figure 1). Work from the 1970's immediately to the north of HG identified a native-mercury/cinnabar occurrence within a few hundred meters of the property boundary. The mercury occurrence is believed to be related to north-trending structures that project south across the HG property. Additional information, including maps, photos, and a video update are available on the web (http://constantinemetals.com/projects/yukon/ and www.carlingold.com).\n\n\n \n-A five-kilometer long arsenic-in-soil anomaly has been defined at the TUT property, as determined with an on-site X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument. Soil assay data, which has only been rec...
