Prairie Creek Mine, Northwest Territories

Canadian Zinc’s long-term aim is to bring the 100%-owned Prairie Creek Mine in the Mackenzie Mountains of the Northwest Territories into production at the earliest possible date. The mine, which has a fascinating history, is a silver and base metals property already in the advanced stages of development, with substantial resources of high-grade silver, zinc, and lead. Exposures of mineralized vein structures, which overlie thicker stratabound mineralization, both of which are included in the present resource, are known to occur over a distance of 16 kilometres through the property.
