So Heute wieder News ein nächster Schritt ist getan:
Vancouver, British Columbia, September 26, 2011 - Canadian Zinc
Corporation (TSX: CZN; OTCQB:
CZICF) is pleased to report that the Mackenzie Valley Review Board
(“MVRB”) has officially closed the
public registry for the Environmental Assessment on the Company`s
Prairie Creek zinc/silver/lead mine in
the Northwest Territories, Canada. The closure of the public
registry on September 22, 2011, marks the
completion of the technical information and reports, public
hearings and comment, and submissions stages
of the Environmental Assessment.
With the closing of the public registry, the Environmental
Assessment (EA) process now enters the Decision
Phase by the Review Board. The Company anticipates that the Review
Board will take some time before
issuing its Report of Environmental Assessment. Once issued, the
Decision of the Review Board will then
be submitted to the Federal Minister for Review.
The Company’s Developers Assessment Report submitted to the Review
Board in March 2010
demonstrates that the Prairie Creek Mine can be successfully
operated, and eventually closed, with minimal
impacts on the environment. The report indicates that operation of
the Mine will not have any significant
impacts on fish or aquatic life and will not have any significant
adverse effect on the ecological integrity of
Nahanni National Park Reserve.
After Ministerial Review, the last phase of the permitting process
involves the Mackenzie Valley Land and
Water Board issuing a Water License and Land Use Permits, which
will incorporate the recommendations
arising out of the EA. While the timing of these events is
uncertain, Canadian Zinc intends to make every
effort to ensure the process is completed as expeditiously as
possible.
During the course of the EA, Canadian Zinc has accelerated building
regional support for the Project
through successful negotiation of socio-economic agreements with
local communities, as well as the
governments. Canadian Zinc signed Impact Benefit Agreements with
each of the Nahanni Butte Dene Band
and the Liidlii Kue First Nation of Fort Simpson that will see both
groups benefit from the opportunities
arising from development and operation of the Prairie Creek
Mine.
In August 2011, Canadian Zinc signed the Prairie Creek Mine
Socio-Economic Agreement with the
Government of the Northwest Territories which establishes the
methods and procedures by which the
Company and the Government of the Northwest Territories have agreed
to work together to maximize the
beneficial opportunities and minimize the negative socio-economic
impacts arising from an operating Prairie
Creek Mine. Also in August 2011, the Federal Government announced
the commitment of $3 million,
through Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC), to
fund the training of Aboriginals for
employment at the Prairie Creek Mine over the next three years.

The Prairie Creek Mine will provide significant economic
opportunities for the entire Dehcho Region and the
Northwest Territories. When in operation, it is expected that the
Prairie Creek Mine will provide about 220
full-time jobs. A Socio-Economic Study, carried out for the Company
as part of its environmental
assessment, predicts that the Prairie Creek Mine will have positive
and lasting impacts on the local
communities and on the Dehcho Region.
Prairie Creek Project
The Prairie Creek Mine is partially developed with an existing
1,000 tonne per day mill and related
infrastructure.
The mineral resource at the Prairie Creek Property comprises total
Measured and Indicated Resources of
5,840,329 tonnes grading 10.71% zinc, 9.90% lead, 0.326% copper and
161 grams silver per tonne and a
large Inferred Resource of 5,541,576 tonnes grading 13.53% zinc,
11.43% lead, 0.514% copper and 215
grams silver per tonne. [Technical Report October 2007, Minefill
Services Inc. Dr. David Stone and Stephen
Godden, Qualified Independent Persons, in compliance with NI
43-101].
Since acquiring the property in the 1990s, Canadian Zinc has
invested over $45 million, quadrupling the
known mineral resource and successfully advancing the Prairie Creek
project through five environmental
assessments related to applications for various land use permits
and licences required for exploration and
development programs.
Cautionary Statement – Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains certain forward-looking information,
including, among other things, the expected
completion of acquisitions and the advancement of mineral
properties. This forward looking information includes, or
may be based upon, estimates, forecasts, and statements as to
management’s expectations with respect to, among
other things, the completion of transactions, the issue of permits,
the size and quality of mineral resources, future
trends for the company, progress in development of mineral
properties, future production and sales volumes, capital
costs, mine production costs, demand and market outlook for metals,
future metal prices and treatment and refining
charges, the outcome of legal proceedings, the timing of
exploration, development and mining activities, acquisition of
shares in other companies and the financial results of the company.
There can be no assurances that such
statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future
events could differ materially from those anticipated
in such statements. The Company does not currently hold a permit
for the operation of the Prairie Creek Mine. Mineral
resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated
economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are
considered too speculative geologically to have economic
considerations applied to them that would enable them to be
categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that mineral
resources will be converted into mineral reserves.
Cautionary Note to United States Investors
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with
the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can
economically and legally extract or produce. We
use certain terms in this press release, such as “measured,”
“indicated,” and “inferred” “resources,” which the SEC
guidelines prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in
their filings with the SEC.
