Tinka Resources Signs Access Agreements with Communities at Ayawilca Zinc Property, Peru

Tinka Resources Limited (TSXV:TK,OTCPK:TKRFF) signed final access agreements with the San Juan de Yanacocha and Huarautambo communities that own surface rights over the company’s 100 percent owned Ayawilca Property in central Peru.
As quoted in the press release:

Dr. Graham Carman, Tinka´s President and CEO, stated: “Reaching agreements with these two communities is a major milestone for Tinka and for the Ayawilca project. We are very pleased with this result – it is the culmination of many months of negotiations and hard work by our dedicated community relations team. By expanding the area and term of the Yanacocha agreement, and by signing the first agreement with the community of Huarautambo, Tinka will be in a position to initiate resource expansion drilling over our high priority zinc targets at West and South Ayawilca, once final Ministry permits are received. We expect those permits to be issued in the next few weeks, with drilling expected to commence by early November 2016.”
“We wish to thank the communities of San Juan de Yanacocha and Huarautambo for their constructive engagement and for partnering with Tinka to improve living conditions in their communities through sensible mineral exploration and sustainable development. This process has helped to strengthen Tinka’s cooperation with our neighbours and marks the beginning of a new period of collaboration.”
