(CZX - TSX Venture), is pleased to announce that the Company has commenced its planned 2013 exploration program for the Akie and Kechika Regional projects. The Akie property is the Company's flagship exploration project and is host to the Cardiac Creek SEDEX Zn-Pb-Ag deposit. The Kechika Regional Project, represented by a series of property blocks including Pie and Mt. Alcock, extends northwest from the Akie property for approximately 140 kilometers covering the highly prospective Gunsteel Formation shale. The southernmost project boundary is located approximately 260 kilometers north-northwest of the town of Mackenzie, in northeastern British Columbia, Canada.  \nThe 2013 Exploration Program \nThe 2013 exploration program has two primary objectives: up to 4,000 metres of diamond drilling planned for the Akie property and an expansion of the 2012 airborne VTEM survey that was completed over the Akie, Pie and Mt. Alcock properties. The survey will extend to cover the remaining Kechika Regional claims.\nGeotech 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.\nWestern 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. \nTargeted 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.\nPe...
