(CZX - TSX Venture), (\"Canada Zinc Metals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce commencement of the 2010 diamond drill program on its Cardiac Creek SEDEX zinc-lead-silver deposit on the Akie property.  The property, owned 100% by the Company, is centered approximately 260 kilometers north-northwest of the town of Mackenzie in northeastern British Columbia. About the 2010 drill programThis program will encompass some 5,000 metres of drilling, yielding NQ/HQ size core, in up to 9 or 10 drill holes, in two areas northwest of the known Cardiac Creek deposit. The objectives of the program are twofold:* To test the permissive Gunsteel Formation - Road River Group stratigraphy present along strike, to the northwest, of the Cardiac Creek deposit for the continuation of this mineralization and;* To further explore the highly prospective North Lead Anomaly, which is underlain by geology similar to that of the Cardiac Creek deposit located some 2.2 km to the southeast. Previous drilling has encountered massive sulphides containing sphalerite and galena (0.8 metres grading 11.6% zinc and 9.05% lead), sulphide replacement (pyrite, sphalerite and galena) of an underlying footwall carbonate debris flow and quartz-carbonate alteration of footwall rocks, all suggestive of proximity to a vent zone.Rodren Drilling Ltd. of West St. Paul, Manitoba is the drill contractor for this work and will provide two helicopter portable, modified BBS-56 drill rigs and all of the ancillary equipment necessary to complete the program. During the past three drill seasons on the property, Rodren has acquired considerable knowledge and experience (17.3 km drilling/36 holes) and has exhibited a high level of technical and operational competencyThe two drill rigs are currently setup on the North Lead Anomaly and both started drilling on June 29.\"We are very excited to announce that drilling has commenced again on the Akie property,\" commented Peeyush Varshney, CEO of Canada Zinc Metals.  \"A significant program has been planned for this year and we look forward to keeping our shareholders informed of developments.   The quality of our projects continues to attract the interest of several large base met...
