Tinka Resources Ltd. (TSXV:TK) provided the results from holes A13-04 and A13-05, located at its Peru-based Ayawilca project, commenting that it drilled 60 meters of 7.75-percent zinc (including 24 meters of 13.85-percent zinc and 46.5 g/t silver) and 29 meters of 7.05-percent zinc.

As quoted in the press release:
Hole A13-04 is the first to intercept any significant copper; a 10 metre interval averaged 1.07% Cu. Also of significance is the presence of silver in this interval, averaging 51.6 g/t Ag, within an 18 metre interval averaging 41.1 g/t Ag. The copper-silver intercept in hole A13-04 also contains highly anomalous arsenic plus moderately anomalous bismuth, and the significant silver intercepts in hole A13-05 are accompanied by strongly anomalous arsenic and copper with moderately anomalous bismuth; one section also contains highly anomalous lead.
The elevated copper values found in hole A13-04 may suggest some metal zoning as copper was often noted in the lowermost sulphide horizon(s) in the easternmost holes.
Andrew Carter, president and CEO of Tinka, commented:
We are extremely pleased with these significant intercepts as they continue to demonstrate the presence of strong zinc mineralization over a wide area, as well as a substantial increase in silver and copper near the eastern limits of our current drilling. Drilling will continue to test the geophysical conductors when the amended drill permit is granted.
