Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 18, 2011, Constitution Mining Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Swiss Mining S.A., a limited liability company organized and incorporated under the laws of Perú (“Swiss Mining”).  Pursuant to the Agreement, Swiss Mining will carry out a test mining operation on the MIKA 2 concession located in the Peruvian Province of Datem del Marañon, District of Manseriche (the “MIKA 2 Concession”).  The area encompassing the MIKA 2 concession is the 2.5 square kilometer grid that was the subject of the Company’s Phase II drilling campaign.

Swiss Mining will be responsible and liable for all work, services, labor, materials, equipment, supplies and other related costs necessary to implement the test mining operation.  The costs related to this test mining operation, which is expected to involve the processing of approximately 150,000 cubic meters of placer material, are anticipated to be approximately US $425,000.  The parties have agreed to an allocation of revenues, if any, from the sale or other disposition of ores, concentrates or minerals produced from the MIKA 2 concession (“Net Returns”) equal to thirty percent (30%) to the Company and seventy percent (70%) to Swiss Mining until the agreed upon costs of US $425,000 are fully covered.  Thereafter, any Net Returns beyond this cost recovery shall be divided equally between the t wo parties, on a 50/50 basis.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties have agreed to negotiate a different allocation of Net Returns so long as Swiss Mining has not recovered its costs of US $425,000 should the price of gold drop below US $1300 per ounce or increase above $1500 per ounce for at least 5 consecutive business days.

The Company anticipates that the test mining operation will commence in the next four to six weeks and continue for a duration of six months.  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company has the right to monitor, at its own expense, all activities performed by Swiss Mining or its subcontractors under this Agreement including, but not be limited to, the right to make site inspections at any time, to bring experts and consultants onsite to examine or evaluate work in progress or completed work, to examine the books, ledgers, documents, papers, and records pertinent to this Agreement and to observe personnel in every phase of their performance of the related work.

A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.  The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement.

On January 20, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing the signing of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1
 
Constitution Mining Enters Into Test Production

Lima, Peru – January 20, 2011 Constitution Mining Corp. (CMIN.OB) is pleased to announce that on January 18, 2011, the Company signed an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Swiss Mining S.A. to start a test-mining production operation on the Company’s Gold Sand’s project, located in North-East Peru.

Swiss Mining S.A. is currently in the business of developing, and if feasibility is determined, conducting mineral resource alluvial mining operations. As the largest operator in this area of the Amazon basin, they have the knowledge, experience and trained work force necessary to conduct an efficient operation. Swiss Mining will be utilizing a new trommel plant with centrifugal concentrators, in order to optimize the operational footprint, and thus minimize environmental impact on this test production venture.
 
Constitution Mining’s drilling program, which located placer ore bodies, was completed within the MIKA 2 Concession in 2010. A review of the findings made in regard to these alluvial deposits, provides the basis for this Agreement between the two companies. The Agreement designates that Swiss Mining  will carry out a test mining operation on the MIKA 2 Concession, located in the Peruvian Province of Datem del Marañon, District of Manseriche.  The results will be studied to determine if an expanded agreement between the parties covering a larger area is justified.

Swiss Mining will immediately begin to mobilize its equipment to the site. It expects to begin a six-month Test Mining Operation on CMIN’s MIKA 2 Concession within the next four to six weeks. Costs related to this Test Mining Operation, which is expected to involve the processing of approximately 150,000 cubic meters of placer material, are anticipated to be approximately US $425,000.

Revenues, if any, from this test operation will be utilized to cover Swiss Mining’s production costs in the following manner: all revenues from the sale or other disposition of ores, concentrates or minerals produced from the mineral properties ("Net Returns") shall be allocated 30% to CMIN and 70% to Swiss Mining, until the agreed upon costs of US $425,000 are fully covered. Any Net Returns beyond this cost recovery shall be divided equally between the two parties, on a 50/50 basis.

The Allocation of Net Returns is based upon a gold price in the range of US $1300 to $1500 per ounce. If the price of gold drops below US $1300 or climbs above $1500 per ounce for at least 5 consecutive business days and Swiss Mining has not recovered its costs of US $425,000, the parties may negotiate an adjustment to the 70/30 split.

CMIN has the right to monitor at its own expense, all activities performed by Swiss Mining or its subcontractors as related to this Agreement. This shall include, but not be limited to, the right to make site inspections at any time; to bring experts and consultants onsite to examine or evaluate work in progress or completed work; to examine the books, ledgers, documents, papers, and records pertinent to this Agreement; and to observe personnel in every phase of their performance of the related work.

Michael Stocker, Constitution Mining’s CEO states:

“We anticipate that this test mining operation, in partnership with Swiss Mining SA, will provide valuable information with which to help shape and hopefully confirm our hypotheses regarding the suitability and cost of alluvial gold production operations on our Gold Sands properties. We are very pleased to have reached this important milestone in the evolution or our company as we believe that this is a significant step forward from drilling to actual gold production”

About Swiss Mining S.A.

Swiss Mining SA, located in Lima, Peru, is a limited liability company organized and incorporated under Peruvian laws. It is owned and actively controlled by Swiss Mining and Consulting Ltd. The company’s general manger, Rafael Villarroel Mansilla, has a decade-long experience with alluvial mining.

About Constitution Mining Corp. (CMIN.OB)
 
The Company's goal is to locate large-scale commercially viable gold deposits and continuously increase the amount of gold underlying its outstanding shares. The Company is interested primarily in geographical areas that are home to several significant proven gold deposits, including highly prospective districts likely to hold further large deposits.

Peru
 
The Gold Sands project in Peru consists of options on 461 square kilometers (178 square miles) of mining property, the largest such block in the district. These Gold Sands were laid down by eons of alluvial erosion. For millions of years, the waters of the Santiago and the Marañón rivers have been carving their way through the gold-rich mountain canyons of the Andes, carrying off vast amounts of gold and depositing it in the loose gravels and sands - Gold Sands - in the area the Company now controls.

Results from test holes drilled during CMIN's 26-hole Phase I exploratory drill program indicate the presence of significant alluvial gold. The Company has also completed its Phase II drill program focused on grid drilling a 2.5 square kilometer region. While the results from both the Phase I drill program and the Phase II, 100-hole drill program are highly favorable, the Company cautions that these results do not yet indicate the presence of a commercially viable mineral deposit and further exploration is needed to determine the full feasibility of the project. Currently, the company has signed an agreement to begin a test mining production program within a 2.5 square kilometer area of the recent 100-hole drill program.

The full implementation of these programs will require the Company to secure additional financing.
