President and chief executive officer of Tinka Graham Carman said: “we are very pleased to have intersected significant high-grade zinc mineralization in our first step-out hole at West Ayawilca in 2018. It is still early in this year’s drill program, but we are confident that our planned 15,000 metre drill program will continue to expand on our known mineralized zones, discover new areas of zinc mineralization, and add significant new mineral resources to the project. Approximately 25-30 holes are planned for the first half of 2018 consisting mostly of step-out holes, with an initial preliminary economic assessment planned to be completed before years end.”
