Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: CEM) ("Constantine" or the "Company") announces that it has received $2,405,000 from the exercise of outstanding warrants over the past 30 days and as a result has issued 12,025,000 shares at a price of $0.20 per share. Last month the Company accelerated the expiry of 13,000,000 warrants by giving notice to its warrant holders that it was exercising its right to do so under the terms of the warrants. The unexercised balance of 975,000 accelerated warrants expired yesterday.

The Company currently has 79,978,022 shares outstanding following the issuance of these shares and has $3.9 million cash in the bank after the exercise of the above-noted warrants.

The existing cash and funds raised from the warrant exercise will be used primarily for the 2010 Palmer drill program that is currently in the planning stages, utilizing 3 drills and projected to start in late May 2010. The Company is also evaluating plans for a 2010 Munro Croesus winter drill program that would allow detailed exploration for high grade Croesus-type ore that was mined historically at the Croesus Gold Mine. Garfield MacVeigh, President and CEO of Constantine states, "With almost $4 million cash in the bank the Company is now well positioned to add value to the well-located copper-rich Palmer VMS discovery in southeast Alaska and advance our gold projects in the Timmins camp area of Ontario."

Constantine expects to receive and release results shortly of the first NI 43-101 Palmer resource estimate. The resource estimate is based on recent drill results from the Southwall and RW zones. Recent mineralogy studies with metallurgical benchmarking demonstrated coarse grained mineralogy and the likelihood that the Palmer mineralization could yield good recoveries with high grade concentrates at relatively low milling cost (see News Release #49-09, November 19, 2009).

About the Company

Constantine has a 100% interest in two exceptional projects located in world class exploration environments where management has strong familiarity and expertise. These include the Palmer Project, where the Company has made a major new copper-zinc-silver-gold discovery in a very accessible part of southeast Alaska, and the Munro-Croesus Project, a past-producing mine property that yielded some of the highest grade gold ever mined in Ontario.
