(CZX - TSX Venture), is pleased to announce it has received 3-Year drill permits from the BC government for the Pie and Mt. Alcock properties, two of ten mineral exploration properties that form one large contiguous group of properties known as the Kechika property.\nThe Kechika property extends over 140 kilometers along the known strike extent of the highly prospective Gunsteel Formation (Earn Group), a sequence of Upper Devonian carbonaceous black shales that are host to the Cardiac Creek, Cirque and Driftpile Creek SEDEX deposits of the Kechika Trough.\nThe Pie adjoins CZX's Akie property on its northern boundary. The Mt. Alcock property is located approximately 45 kilometers North West of the Akie property. The Akie property is located approximately 260 kilometers north-northwest of the town of Mackenzie, in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. Please refer to the July 18th news release for a recent update on exploration drilling on the Akie property.\nThe Pie and Mt. Alcock drill permits are valid for a period of three years and will allow helicopter-supported diamond drilling on a number of targets that have been identified through extensive historical compilation and recent field work. Geological crews are presently mapping and sampling locations on the Pie property where work has identified exhalative nodular barite which suggests the West Pie area may be underlain with previously unidentified panel of Gunsteel shale. Additional mapping and sampling work is planned for the Mt. Alcock property in August.\nThe systematic exploration work will build on previous work completed by historical operators and by CZX in 2009. The work will aim to increase discovery potential while adding value to both properties. The program will include mapping, silt, soil, and rock chip sampling, and hand trenching to refine targeting for the first phase of drilling on each property. \n\"The permitted drilling program is an important step in unlocking the potential for the Pie and Mt. Alcock properties. We know from previous drilling campaigns on both properties that SEDEX style mineralization similar to the Ca...
