Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – Wednesday, February 26, 2014 – Canada Zinc Metals Corp. (TSX Venture Exchange: CZX) is pleased to announce it will be participating in the 2014 PDAC Conference (www.pdac.ca) being held March 2 - 5th, 2014 at the South Building of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. PDAC is the world’s premier mining investment convention, trade show and exchange for investors.

The Company will be exhibiting at Booth #2833 (a new and more central location) on the Investors Exchange floor, and cordially invites its shareholders and investors to visit with management and staff over the 4-day period.

The Company will be handing out information brochures as well as displaying some of the high grade drill core obtained from the exploration programs at the Company’s flagship Akie property.

About the Akie Property

The Akie zinc-lead property is situated within the southern-most part (Kechika Trough) of the regionally extensive Paleozoic Selwyn Basin, one of the most prolific sedimentary basins in the world for the occurrence of SEDEX zinc-lead-silver and stratiform barite deposits.

Drilling on the Akie property by Inmet Mining Corporation during the period 1994 to 1996 and by Canada Zinc Metals since 2005 has identified a significant body of baritic-zinc-lead SEDEX mineralization (Cardiac Creek deposit).  The deposit is hosted by variably siliceous, fine grained clastic rocks of the Middle to Late Devonian ‘Gunsteel’ formation.  The Company has outlined a NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 23.6 million tonnes grading 7.6% zinc, 1.5% lead and 13.0 g/t silver (at a 5% zinc cut off grade). 

In addition to the Akie property, Canada Zinc Metals Corp. controls a large contiguous group of claims which comprise the Kechika Regional project. These claims are underlain by geology identical to that on the Akie property (Cardiac Creek deposit) and Cirque. This project includes the  100% owned Mt. Alcock property, which has yielded a historic drill intercept of 8.8 metres grading 9.3% zinc+lead, numerous zinc-lead-barite occurrences,  and several regional base metal anomalies.

Ken MacDonald P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration, is the designated Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for the technical information contained in this release.

The TSX Venture Exchange has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.
