Tinka Announces Initial Inferred Zinc Resource of 13.3 Million Tonnes Grading 7.7% Zinc Equivalent at Ayawilca Peru
Vancouver, Canada -- Tinka Resources Limited ("Tinka" or the "Company") (TSXV: TK) (OTCPK: TKRFF) is pleased to announce the first Mineral Resource estimate for its 100%-owned Ayawilca zinc (Zn) -- indium (In) -- silver (Ag) - lead (Pb) deposit in central Peru. The Inferred Mineral Resource at Ayawilca occurs in three separate structures (West, Central, and East), all of which remain open along strike. The Mineral Resources were estimated by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (RPA) of Toronto, Canada.

Key Highlights of First Mineral Resource at Ayawilca:

Inferred Mineral Resource of 13.3 million tonnes grading 7.7% zinc equivalent, including;
1.7 billion pounds of Zn;
909,000 kilograms of In;
5.8 million ounces of Ag; and
55 million pounds of Pb.


Dr. Graham Carman, Tinka's President and CEO, stated: "This initial zinc-dominant Inferred Mineral Resource at Ayawilca (Table 1) is an important milestone for the Company. The Mineral Resource occurs within approximately 15 percent of a 6 square kilometre geophysical - geochemical footprint, inside our prospective 110 square kilometre tenement package. The objective of our work programs over the next 12-18 months is to continue to grow the zinc resource inventory. We also aim to unlock the potential of the tin - copper mineralization identified beneath the zinc at Ayawilca, and to advance our early-stage targets. Additionally, the Company is pleased to report an updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Colquipucro silver oxide deposit. It should be noted that the Mineral Resource (Table2) includes mineralization within a Whittle open pit shell only. The updated Mineral Resource includes a category in which we have more confidence, i.e. Indicated. Mineralization at Colquipucro remains open at depth to the northeast."
