Tinka Confirms Continuity of High Grade Zinc at South Ayawilca

Tinka Resources Limited (“Tinka” or the “Company”) (TSXV: TK) (OTCPK: TKRFF) is pleased to announce assay results of five recent drill holes from its 100% owned Ayawilca zinc project in central Peru. All five holes are from South Ayawilca and the extension of the Central Ayawilca areas, where zinc mineralization occurs in flat-lying sulphide bodies replacing carbonate and clastic rocks adjacent to a northeast trending fault.
As quoted in the press release:

Dr. Graham Carman, Tinka´s President and CEO, stated: “We are extremely pleased with these latest results, which confirm continuity of very high grade zinc mineralization at South Ayawilca over at least 300 metres of strike.  Zinc mineralization also remains open in several directions including to the south, east, and possibly to the west where the favourable stratigraphic horizon may rapidly deepen. Hole A17-068, drilled 350 metres along strike from A17-063, shows that the lower mineralized manto is a continuous replacement body and connects with Central Ayawilca. The Ayawilca sulphide system is zoned; high grade zinc occurs outward of bodies of iron sulphide (mostly pyrrhotite) which host tin mineralization.  This zonation has similarities to the giant Cerro de Pasco base metals deposit 40 kilometres to the southeast.  Drilling is continuing with step-out holes at West Ayawilca, along with new targets being drilled at Zone 3 and Chaucha.”
