EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Form 6-K is submitted by NorZinc Ltd. (“NorZinc”) to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as notice that, pursuant to a statutory arrangement (the “Arrangement”) to reorganize Canadian Zinc Corporation (“Canadian Zinc”), Canadian Zinc became a directly held, wholly-owned, operating subsidiary of NorZinc.

NorZinc understands that upon the furnishing of this Form 6-K to the Commission, NorZinc will use the Commission file number of Canadian Zinc for the purpose of satisfying NorZinc’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.

Effective September 6, 2018 Canadian Zinc and NorZinc completed a court-approved statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Under the Arrangement all of the common shares of Canadian Zinc (the “Canadian Zinc Shares”) were exchanged for common shares of NorZinc (the NorZinc Shares”), on a one-for-one basis, with no impact on shareholder's ultimate economic interest

The NorZinc Shares will trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol, “NZC” starting September 11, 2018. NorZinc’s CUSIP and ISIN numbers will be 66976U104 and CA66976U1049.

Prior to the Arrangement, the Canadian Zinc Shares were registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Upon effectiveness of the Arrangement, the NorZinc Shares were deemed registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, with NorZinc deemed to be a successor issuer to Canadian Zinc pursuant to Rule 12g-3(c) under the Exchange Act. All securities issued in connection with the Arrangement were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof.
