Canada Zinc Metals Starts Exploration at Akie, Kechika Regional

Canada Zinc Metals Corp. (TSXV:CZX) announced that it has begun the 2013 exploration program at its Akie and Kechika Regional projects. The two main goals of the program are to complete up to 4,000 meters of diamond drilling at Akie and to expand the 2012 airborne VTEM survey completed at the Akie, Pie and Mount Alcock properties.

As quoted in the press release:

Geotech Ltd, of Aurora Ontario, has mobilized to site and commenced the VTEM Airborne Geophysical survey. Approximately 2,700 line kilometers are planned and the Company is pleased to announce that to-date over 80% of the program has been completed. Pending favorable weather, the survey should be complete within the next week.

Western Exploration Drilling of Kamloops, BC, is presently mobilizing to site and is anticipated to be set up and drilling by mid July. The up to 4,000 metre drilling program will test several key targets on the Akie property, including the Cardiac Creek deposit, the GPS bedded barite showing, the South Zinc Anomaly and other promising property-scale targets that have been identified through careful analysis of exploration data coincident with anomaly targets from the 2012 Airborne VTEM survey.

Targeted ground exploration on Akie, including soil sampling and detailed mapping will also commence by mid July and will focus on several geophysical anomalies identified in the 2012 Airborne VTEM survey.
