[{"type":"text","content":"\nCanada Zinc Metals Reports on Activities at the Akie Project\n\n Jul. 18, 2011 (Filing Services Canada) -- Canada Zinc Metals Corp. (CZX - TSX Venture), is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities on its 100% owned Akie property, which hosts the Cardiac Creek SEDEX Zn-Pb-Ag deposit. The property is located approximately 260 kilometers north-northwest of the town of Mackenzie, in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. Akie Property:The 2011 exploration program commenced in early June with diamond drilling targeting several key zones along strike from the Cardiac Creek deposit, including: the North Lead Anomaly; the NW Extension and the SE Extension. Drilling will also test the SE edge of the deposit with the intent to expand the deposit in this direction. To date, 6 drill holes have been completed in the first month of the program, totaling 2,213.78 metres, with drill production and recovery exceeding expectations.The bulk of the drilling to date has focused on the NW Extension. A total of 5 holes have been completed totaling 1,708.72 metres. Holes A-11-87, A-11-88 and A-11-89 tested the strike extent and up-dip potential of proximal style mineralization encountered in A-10-69. Hole A-11-90 tested the possible up-dip extent of the Nick Style (Ni-Zn) horizon discovered in A-10-72. Hole A-11-91 tested the down-dip extent of the mineralization encountered in A-10-69. Variable widths of proximal style mineralization were encountered in all drill holes except A-11-91. Hole A-11-88, located closest to the Cardiac Creek deposit, contains the most promising mineralization to date with a well-developed section of proximal style mineralization and approximately 2.0 metres of massive sulphide lens situated at the base of the Gunsteel formation. The Nick Horizon was not encountered in drill hole A-11-90 and A-11-91 did not intersect any significant mineralization down-dip of A-10-69. Folding and faulting at the NW Extension has produced a structurally complex geological setting that requires further analysis. The first drill hole of the 2011 exploration program tested the SE Extension. Drill hole A-11-86 was completed to a depth of 505.06 metres, testing the strike and down-dip potential of the mineralization encountered in the spring geotechnical drill holes A-11-84 and A-11-85. The mineralization encountered in A-11-86 appe...
