Afrasia Mineral Fields Inc.
(TSX-V: AFS.H)

Afrasia is purchasing 100% of the shares of 0830438 BC Ltd who’s wholly owned US subsidiary owns the subsurface mining rights and is leasing those surface mining rights necessary to explore, rebuild and operate the Oracle Ridge Project located near Tucson, Arizona.   

The Oracle Ridge Copper Project is a historic high grade copper producer located at Marble Mountain in Pima County, Arizona, USA.  It hosts multiple zones of primary copper skarn mineralization with potentially significant gold and silver by-product credits.  The project was in production as recently as 1996 at a rate of 1,000 tons per day and had an expansion plan in place to increase production to 2,000 tons per day.

Following approval for the acquisition of the Oracle Ridge Project, Afrasia intends to complete a program designed to validate the existing database and produce a NI 43-101 compliant resource study.  This program will consist of re-sampling and assaying the existing core, drilling of confirmation holes, surveying the underground workings, confirming drill hole collar locations and underground mapping and sampling.

In addition, a significant portion of the property has not been drill tested.  The proposed program will also include an underground core drilling program to locate additional areas of mineralization.

Canada Zinc Metals Corp.
(TSX-V: CZX); (Frankfurt: M9R)

Canada Zinc Metals Corp. is a publicly listed mineral resource exploration company with a 100% interest in the Akie property in British Columbia, Canada. The Akie sedex zinc property comprises approximately 5,400 hectares in the Omineca mining division of British Columbia and is located approximately 280 kilometres northwest of the town of Mackenzie. The property contains a zinc-lead-silver-barite massive sulphide deposit. Between 1992 and 1996 approximately $5.4-million was spent by other parties exploring the property, including approximately 13,000 metres of diamond drilling. Over the past two and a half years,  the Company has spent an additional $14 million exploring the property, including approximately 13,000 meters of drilling.

Based on the drilling to date, in mid-April 2008 the Company announced an initial 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimate for the Akie deposit .  At a zinc cut-off grade of 5 per cent, the deposit is currently estimated to be 23.6 million tonnes grading 7.60% zinc, 1.5% lead and 13.0 g/t silver – which equates to 3.95 billion pounds of zinc, 780 million pounds of lead and 8.95 million ounces of silver.

The Akie deposit is open to expansion in tonnage and grade both along strike and down-dip.

Zinc is the third most used non-ferrous metal (after aluminum and copper) and the demand from countries like China and India, with robust expanding economies, are straining global zinc markets.
