Tinka Resources Limited (“Tinka” or the “Company”) (TSXV: TK) (OTCPK: TKRFF) is pleased to announce assay results of five new step-out drill holes at its 100%-owned Ayawilca zinc project in central Peru. Three holes were drilled at the South Ayawilca discovery area, with one hole drilled at West Ayawilca (A17-074). Hole A17-073 was drilled at Zone 3, the first hole into this new target.
As quoted in the press release:
Dr. Graham Carman, Tinka´s President and CEO, stated: “We are very pleased with these new drill results. The zinc discovery at South Ayawilca continues to expand southward, and remains open in several directions (see Figure 2). Hole A17-075 indicates that zinc may be thickening to the south on that section. The high-grade silver (zinc-lead) discovery in A17-072 is also exciting as it opens potential for additional bonanza-grade mineralization along the South Ayawilca Fault, which is largely untested. High-grade silver (zinc-lead) mineralization occurs with sulphides as cavity fillings in recrystallized limestone with abundant quartz-carbonate alteration, quite different to the massive sulphide mineralization associated with the high-grade zinc.”
