Canadian Zinc Provides Assay Results from Prairie Creek

Canadian Zinc Corp. (TSX:CZN,OTCQB:CZICF) announced assay results from the 2013 diamond drill exploration program completed at its Northwest Territories-based Prairie Creek mine site property.

The drilling focused on two areas: a multi-stacked electromagnetic geophysical anomaly about 900 meters from the mill site and a small exploratory drill program adjacent to the existing concentrator plant.

As quoted in the press release:

Two diamond drill holes, PC-13-220 and PC-13-222, collared about 320 m apart, which totaled 1,068 m of drilling tested a 900 m wide multi-channel EM anomaly identified in 2012. At the same time hole PC-13-220 was also designed to add further detail to the current National Instrument (“NI”) 43-101 mineral resource by intercepting projections of previously defined vein and stockwork mineralization within the upper parts of the hole.

Both holes are projected to have tested the main part of the geophysical anomaly at depth. Interpretations based on current data suggest that the EM anomaly is likely due to inherent natural variations in graphite content within the Road River Formation.
