AMC Arizona Metals Corp

Canadian Zinc Corporation (TSX:CZN)(OTCQB:CZICF) ("the Company" or "Canadian
Zinc") is pleased to announce the engagement of Tetra Tech for engineering and
procurement services relating to the Company's 100% owned Prairie Creek
zinc/lead/silver mine in the Northwest Territories.


Tetra Tech has been engaged to provide technical services for basic engineering
and procurement services for the development of major equipment packages,
facility rehabilitation and repair work and capital items for the Prairie Creek
Mine. Specifically these technical services will develop tender packages for
mine rehabilitation and development; mill completion, power generation and
distribution; heat recovery systems; a dense media separation plant; a paste
fill plant; a water treatment plant; instrumentation and control systems; camp
construction and winter road construction and maintenance needed to put the
Prairie Creek Mine into production. 


Canadian Zinc and Tetra Tech will issue these tender packages for competitive
tender to qualified bidders in the first and second quarters of 2014, giving
full recognition to opportunities for participation by local First Nations and
adjacent communities. 


The tendering and procurement process, to be managed by Tetra Tech, is an
important phase of the project that will refine and augment the design work
completed previously and will generate definitive estimates of the capital cost
and schedules required to place the Prairie Creek Mine into operation.


Canadian Zinc has also engaged AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. ("AMC") to
undertake an optimization study of the underground mine plan with a view to
reducing the initial development, shorten the development schedule and optimize
mine operating costs.


The engagement of Tetra Tech and AMC follows receipt of the Type "A" Water
Licence and all permits needed to operate the mine and marks the start of
engineering and procurement to complete the construction and development of the
Prairie Creek Mine.

About Canadian Zinc

Canadian Zinc is a TSX-listed exploration and development company trading under
the symbol "CZN". The Company's key project is the 100%-owned Prairie Creek
Project, a fully permitted, advanced-staged zinc-lead-silver property, located
in the Northwest Territories.


The Prairie Creek Project contains a Mineral Reserve of 5.2 million tonnes
averaging 9.4% zinc, 9.5% lead and 151 g/t silver. In addition, Prairie Creek
hosts an Inferred Resource of 6.2 million tonnes averaging 14.5% zinc, 11.5%
lead, 0.57% copper and 229 g/t silver. (AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. J M
Shannon and D Nussipakynova, Qualified Persons, June 2012).


Prairie Creek is an underground operation that will utilize multiple mining
methods to access readily available ore. Canadian Zinc has the majority of
infrastructure in place including a 1,000 tonne per day mill, five kilometres of
underground workings and related equipment, a heavy duty and light duty surface
fleet, three exploration diamond drills and a 1,000 m airstrip.


Canadian Zinc also owns an extensive land package in central Newfoundland that
includes the South Tally Pond project, which hosts the Lemarchant deposit, along
with other exploration targets. The Company recently acquired Messina Minerals
Inc. (refer to December 20, 2013 press release). Messina's key projects are the
Tulks South project and the Long Lake project, both of which are situated
approximately 50 kilometers from Canadian Zinc's Lemarchant deposit of the South
Tally Pond Project. A detailed and updated database is now being assembled from
which exploration programs will be planned on key central Newfoundland
properties during 2014.


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. 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.
