Tinka Expands Zinc Mineralization at South & West Ayawilca

Tinka Resources Limited (“Tinka” or the “Company”) (TSXV: TK) (OTCPK: TKRFF) is pleased to announce assay results of a further five step-out drill holes at the Company’s 100%-owned Ayawilca zinc project in central Peru. These results include two holes drilled at each of West and South Ayawilca, with one hole drilled at Central Ayawilca.  Tinka continues to expand the footprint of the zinc mineralization with an aggressive 2017 drill program – approximately 12,000 metres have been drilled in 35 holes completed during the campaign so far, with further step out holes planned for the remainder of the year.
As quoted in the press release:

Dr. Graham Carman, Tinka´s President and CEO, stated: “The 2017 Ayawilca resource step-out drill program continues to provide excellent results. The drilling is expanding our zinc footprint well beyond resource boundaries, as well as highlighting additional areas for potential discoveries.  South Ayawilca remains open for zinc extensions over a strike distance of at least 700 metres, towards the southeast, and remains one of our primary target areas for upcoming drilling. Significantly, zinc grades improve to the south in some areas associated with massive pyrite replacement rather than pyrrhotite or magnetite, indicating high grade zinc mineralization extends beyond the magnetic geophysical anomalies and opening up new areas to explore. At West Ayawilca, high grade zinc mineralization continues at least 150 metres beyond the 2016 resource boundary to the northeast.  Tinka continues to aggressively drill test zinc targets on the Ayawilca property, heading towards a resource upgrade during the last quarter of 2017.”
