[{"type":"text","content":"\nUpdate on Akie Property 2010 Exploration Program\n\n\n Sep. 2, 2010 (Filing Services Canada) -- Canada Zinc Metals Corp. (CZX - TSX Venture), is pleased to provide an update on the  2010 diamond drill program currently underway on its Cardiac Creek SEDEX zinc-lead-silver deposit. The deposit, which is on the Company's 100% owned Akie property, is located approximately 260 kilometers north-northwest of the town of Mackenzie in northeastern British Columbia.  2010 Akie Property Drill ProgramObjectives of the 2010 drilling program include testing the prospective Gunsteel Formation shales for the continuation of the Cardiac Creek deposit in the \"NW Extension\" and to further explore the potential of the \"North Lead Anomaly\" (see below) located 2km northwest along strike of the deposit. To date, 8 diamond drill holes (3,871.39 m) of a planned 10 hole 5,000 metre program have been completed. Of these, 4 holes (1,464 m) tested the \"NW Extension\" target while a further 3 holes (1,762.12 metres) continued to test the highly prospective \"North Lead Anomaly\". All drill holes have intersected mineralized shales of the Gunsteel Formation, the primary host of the Cardiac Creek deposit. The sulphide mineralization occurs at the same stratigraphic horizon as the deposit. A single drill hole (645.27 metres) tested a priority target along the northwest edge of the Cardiac Creek deposit encountering 26 metres of sulphide mineralization. Currently, both drill rigs are tasked with other priority targets on the Cardiac Creek deposit totaling an estimated 1,550 metres of planned drilling. Assay results are pending for all drill holes.  All drill core is logged for geology, structure, mineralization, RQD and photographed. Sections of sulphide mineralization are marked for sampling with a series of standards, duplicates and blanks inserted into the sample stream for QA/QC purposes. Samples are split by a diamond saw, tagged and bagged and forwarded to Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C. for analysis. All remaining drill core is stored at the Akie exploration camp.  It is anticipated that exploration activities on the Akie property will continue until late September. About the North Lead AnomalyThe North Lead Anomaly is a large (200m x 1000m), open-ended, lead-in-soil (70 to 624 ppm lead) ...
