Tinka Drills 45.5 Metres Grading 7.8 % Zinc and 40.8 Metres Grading 9.4 % Zinc in Hole A17-096 at South Ayawilca

Tinka Resources Limited (“Tinka” or the “Company”) (TSXV: TK) (OTCPK: TKRFF) is pleased to announce assay results for three additional drill holes from the South Ayawilca zinc discovery in central Peru.  Hole A17-096 intersected high-grade zinc mineralization in two intercepts of over 40 metres each, and is one of the best drill holes of this year’s 15,000 metre drill campaign.
As quoted in the press release:

Dr. Graham Carman, Tinka´s President and CEO, stated: “We are thrilled with the intersections in hole A17-096 as they confirm the continuity of thick and high-grade zinc mineralization previously encountered in hole A17-056. South Ayawilca continues to surprise us with its high zinc grades. As we enter the final quarter of 2017, our busiest year at the project with more than 15,000 metres drilled to date, we look forward to updating our resource estimate by November.  In addition, tin assays are being compiled and will be released once our geological interpretations are completed.  Also, closed-cycle metallurgical flotation tests for zinc composite samples from South, West, and Central Ayawilca are in progress with results expected before year end.”
