[{"type":"text","content":"\nCanada Zinc Metals Provides Update on the Akie Project\n\n May 10, 2011 (Filing Services Canada) -- Canada Zinc Metals Corp. (CZX - TSX Venture), is pleased to provide an update on current activities on its 100% owned Akie property, which includes the Cardiac Creek SEDEX zinc-lead-silver deposit.  The property is located approximately 260 kilometers north-northwest of the town of Mackenzie in northeastern British Columbia, Canada.A technical work program which commenced on March 5th was recently completed on the property, including extension of the access trail to the proposed portal site, excavation of a series of test pits and the completion of six hydrogeological and geotechnical drill holes. The drilling was designed to test overburden and bedrock conditions at the proposed portal site, examine the ground conditions in the hangingwall and footwall of the Cardiac Creek zone, and install groundwater monitoring wells to help establish baseline data for continued environmental monitoring. The engineering and environmental data will be compiled over the next month and will provide design criteria for final engineering designs for the portal and the decline; and environmental criteria for water management plans. The surface expression of the Cardiac Creek zone was exposed in a cut during construction of the access trail.  Preliminary mapping and sampling of the zone will be completed once the site is snow free. Of the two holes drilled along the access trail, Drill Hole A-11-85, located approximately 825m along strike from the deposit, intersected the Cardiac Creek zone 30 metres below surface from 60.40 metres to 83.40 metres (down hole depth). The interval of interest consisted primarily of interbedded sulphide and shale characteristic of proximal facies mineralization (thickly bedded pyrite +/- nodular barite) with minor sphalerite. Individual sulphide beds are on the order of 10-40 cm thick with an aggregate thickness in excess of 10 meters. Sampling and assay of the interval will be undertaken in June when the summer exploration program is anticipated to begin. In other developments, Canada Zinc Metals is pleased to report that the Company submitted a comprehensive permit application to the British Columbia government on April 15, 2011 for underground exploration. Approval is anticipated in June, in time...
