(CZX - TSX Venture), is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities on its 100% owned Kechika regional project; and the 100% owned Akie property, which hosts the Cardiac Creek SEDEX Zn-Pb-Ag deposit. The Akie property is located approximately 260 kilometers north-northwest of the town of Mackenzie, in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. The Kechika group of regional properties extends north from the Akie property for a distance of 140 kilometers, along the prospective Gunsteel Formation stratigraphy of NE BC. The 2011 regional program focused principally on 2 southern claim groupings, the Pie and the Mt. Alcock properties. \nAkie Property\nThe 2011 exploration program commenced in early June and has included diamond drilling on several key zones along strike from the Cardiac Creek deposit, and at the deposit itself. The initial drilling focused on the SE extension, utilizing the recently constructed lower access road. The SE extension drilling was a follow-up to early spring 2011 geotechnical drill holes completed along the road. They were designed for engineering purposes but managed to intercept the favorable Gunsteel Formation shales containing interlaminated sulphide bands similar to the Cardiac Creek style mineralization found some 850m to the NW. A single drill hole (A-11-86) was completed at the SE zone and core logging has indicated the presence of  both distal and proximal pyrite mineralization. The distal and proximal pyrite horizons are evidenced at the Cardiac Creek zone and are generally a precursor to high grade zinc mineralization at depth.\nThe focus of the drilling then shifted to the NW Extension to follow-up on significant drill intersections from 2010. This included Cardiac Creek style zinc-lead-silver mineralization in hole A-10-69, and a unique sulphide zinc-nickel enriched zone intersected in drill hole A-10-72 that is also anomalous in gold, lead, copper and other elements, and appears to be similar in character to zinc-lead-PGE (plat...
