Dear Sirs:
Re: | Canadian Zinc Corporation Form 20-F for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2005 Filed July 3, 2006 File No. 0-22216 |
We refer to your letter dated August 29, 2006 and our reply dated September 5, 2006, copy attached.
We confirm that we have a draft extensive response almost completed, however, as your review has identified an error in the financial statements as filed (Note 3 and Note 13(b) our auditors, Ernst & Young, have requested further time to review our response.
We anticipate being in a position to send you our response within two weeks, by October 27th.
In the meantime we hope to have a discussion with Roger Baer, Mining Engineer with regard to one response.
We trust that this is satisfactory.
Yours truly
CANADIAN ZINC CORPORATION
