    Tinka Reports Additional Step-Out and Infill Drill Holes At Ayawilca

    The company has reported that five resource step-out drill holes at West, South, Central and Camp areas have all intersected significant zinc mineralization hosted mostly by Pucara limestone, the main host of the zinc sulphide mineralization.

    Tinka Resources (TSXV:TK) has announced results for twelve drill holes from the company’s ongoing resource expansion and confirmation drill program at the Ayawilca project in central Peru.

    As highlighted in the press release:

    • Five resource step-out drill holes at West, South, Central and Camp areas have all intersected significant zinc mineralization hosted mostly by Pucara limestone, the main host of the zinc sulphide mineralization;
    • Hole A18-148 intersected high-grade zinc (5.5 metres grading 10 percent zinc) 100 metres further east of the current resource at the Central area, with extensions to be tested later in 2018;
    • Hole A18-146 intersected high-grade zinc and silver mineralization (1.7 metres grading 27 percent zinc and 1520 grams per tonne (g/t) silver from 57 metres depth) in an ‘Upper Manto’ hosted by sandstone at the South area, above and lateral to the known limestone hosted resource. The Upper Manto has been observed in other drill holes and is considered significant due to its shallow depth and proximity to existing resources;
    • Hole A18-150 (9.6 metres grading 6 percent zinc) and adjacent hole A18-154 have extended known mineralization at the West area 120 metres to the northeast – mineralization remains open;
    • Seven resource infill holes are also reported from the West and South areas, drilled to improve the Company’s geological model and to target additional zinc mineralization at depth;
    • Tinka now plans to update the Ayawilca resource estimate in Q4 2018, while step-out drilling continues.

    President and CEO of Tinka, Graham Carman said:

    “The step-out drill hole results reported in this release are very positive, and show that the footprint of zinc mineralization at Ayawilca is getting larger.”
