Canadian Zinc, NTPC to evaluate LNG power generation for Prairie Creek

Junior project developer Canadian Zinc has inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Northwest Territories Power Corporation (NTPC) to assess electricity supply options for the Prairie Creek zinc/lead/silver mine. Under the terms of the MoU, NTPC has agreed to work with Canadian Zinc to evaluate how it can supply the primary electrical energy source to the mine, how it can install generating and connection facilities or other infrastructure assets to provide such electricity, and to study the integration of other energy alternatives, specifically liquefied natural gas (LNG), as part of the energy supply for the mine.
