Canadian Zinc Extends Mineralization at Northwest Zone

Canadian Zinc Corp. (TSX:CZN,OTCQB:CZICF) provided the results of the 2014 winter drill program completed at its South Tally Pond copper-lead-zinc-silver-gold project, located in Newfoundland.

Six drill holes were completed at the Northwest zone, successfully extending mineralization there; it remains open for further expansion.

Program highlights include:

• Drillhole LM14-95 (Section 106+50N), located 30 metres up-dip of drillhole LM13-94, intersected two semi-massive sulphide intervals between 315 and 400 metres downhole. Significant assays included 4.8% zinc, 0.3% lead, 0.5% copper, 24.3 g/t silver and 0.9 g/t gold over 2.5 metres.
• Drillhole LM14-96 (Section 106+50N), located 30 metres up-dip of drillhole LM14-95, intersected semi-massive to massive sulphides with massive barite (14 metres) between 303 and 321 metres downhole Significant assays include 7.0% zinc, 4.3% lead, 0.4% copper, 62.1 g/t silver and 0.7 g/t gold over 1.5 metres.
• Drillhole LM14-97 (Section 105+50N) located 35 metres down-dip of LM13-82, intersected a mineralized massive barite interval between 357 and 361 metres downhole. Significant assays include 90.5 g/t silver and 1.4 g/t gold over 3.5 metres.
• Drillhole LM14-99 (Section 106+50N), located 40 metres up-dip of LM14-96 intersected a thick sequence of iron-rich mudstones and felsic volcanic rocks with anomalous base and precious metals between 224 and 249 metres downhole.
• Drillhole LM14-100 (Section 107+00N), located 50 metres north of LM13-94, intersected disseminated to semi-massive stringer pyrite mineralization between 314 and 364 metres downhole with anomalous base and precious metals over two, 13 metre intervals.
