VANCOUVER, December 16, 2013: Messina Minerals Inc. ("Messina" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that at the special meeting of shareholders held today in Vancouver, B.C. the shareholders of Messina approved the Company's previously announced statutory arrangement (the "Arrangement") pursuant to which all of the Company's shares will be acquired by Canadian Zinc Corporation ("Canadian Zinc") in exchange for shares of Canadian Zinc.

In accordance with the recommendation of the Company's Board of Directors, the Arrangement was approved by 99.86% of the votes cast by Messina's shareholders. The Arrangement was also approved by 99.75% of the votes cast by minority shareholders, after excluding the shares held by Canadian Zinc in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions.

Shareholders of Messina (other than Canadian Zinc) will receive one share of Canadian Zinc for each 5.9 shares of Messina held.
