Alcock Properties\nVancouver, British Columbia CANADA, January 11, 2012 /FSC/ - Canada Zinc Metals Corp. (CZX - TSX Venture), is pleased to provide an update on the 2011 Kechika Regional exploration program.  The Kechika group of regional properties extends northwest from the Company's flagship Akie property for 140 kilometers, centered along the prospective stratigraphy of the Gunsteel Formation of Northeastern B.C.  The Akie property, host to the Cardiac Creek SEDEX Zn-Pb-Ag deposit, is located approximately 260 kilometers north-northwest of the town of Mackenzie, in northeastern British Columbia, Canada.  \n2011 Regional Exploration\nExtensive regional exploration was conducted during the 2011 field season on several properties within the Kechika project area, including Mt. Alcock and Pie. These claims are underlain by prospective Gunsteel shale similar to the host rocks of the Cardiac Creek deposit on the Akie property and the Cirque deposits (Teck Resources/Korea Zinc joint venture). Regional exploration included GIS compilation and analysis of historical exploration data, targeted geochemical surveys, geological mapping and prospecting.\nThe Pie and the Mt. Alcock properties were primary targets of the 2011 regional exploration program conducted on the Kechika group of properties. Work focused on the prospective black shales of West Pie; the nickel-in-rock anomalies of East Pie; and evaluation of the historical work conducted on the Mt Alcock property. \nMapping of the West Pie property has been completed. This work has defined a significant panel of interpreted prospective Gunsteel Formation shale encompassing 8 kilometers of strike length. A comprehensive 14.9 line kilometer soil sampling program has been completed across this panel, with a total of 317 samples taken at 50 metre spaced intervals, along 400 metre spaced lines. In addition, nodular barite occurrences have been...
