Tinka Continues to Expand Zinc and Tin Footprint at Ayawilca

V.TK

Drill Intersections Include 6.8 Metres at 8.2% Zinc, 117g/t Indium & 12g/t Silver in A15-53 and 4.0 Metres at 2.0% Tin, 0.23% Copper & 7g/t Silver in A15-55 Within Wider Lower-Grade Intervals

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 20, 2016) - Tinka Resources Limited ("Tinka" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TK)(OTC PINK:TKRFF) is pleased to announce results of the final eight holes of its 2015 drill hole program at the 100%-owned Ayawilca project, central Peru. Twenty-three holes were completed during 2015 for 8,917.5 metres in total, with all holes drilled beyond the boundary limits of the February 2015 Inferred Zinc Mineral Resource (PR Feb 26 2015). The footprint of the zinc, and tin-copper mineralization, continues to grow (~1km x 1.5km). Zinc mineralization remains open particularly to the south and northeast, where the Company is prioritizing new drill permit renewals and extensions by 2nd half 2016. Tin-copper drill intersections cored directly below the zinc from the same diamond holes (A15-49, A15-52 & A15-55) further underpin the growing significance of the Ayawilca polymetallic system. Tin in A15-55 is 130 metres east of reported mineralization in A15-40 (52.3 m at 1.2% tin, 0.16% copper & 15g/t silver), and still open.

New drill intersections include:

Zinc Mineralization (mantos):

  • A15-53: 16.5 metres at 5.5% zinc, 92g/t indium & 11g/t silver from 344.2 metres depth, including:
    •  6.8 metres at 8.2% zinc, 117g/t indium & 12g/t silver from 353.9 metres depth;
  • A15-52: 18.6 metres at 4.4% zinc, 81g/t indium and 4g/t silver from 306.1 metres depth, including
    •  1.6 metres at 11.1% zinc, 280g/t indium & 7g/t silver from 319.9 metres depth;
  • A15-49: 8.3 metres at 3.6% zinc, 2.1% lead & 28g/t silver from 279.7 metres depth;

Zinc Mineralization (veins):

  • A15-54: 5.8 metres at 8.9% zinc and 26g/t silver from 95.9 metres depth, including:
    •  1.6 metres at 28.1% zinc and 76g/t silver from 95.9 metres depth;

Tin-Copper Mineralization (mantos):

  • A15-55: 13.0 metres at 0.74% tin, 0.11% copper & 5g/t silver from 411.6 metres depth, including
    •  4.0 metres at 2.0% tin, 0.23% copper & 7g/t silver from 420.6 metres depth, and;
  • A15-52: 5.1 metres at 1.2% tin, 0.33% copper & 24g/t silver from 356.1 metres depth, including
    •  0.9 metres at 5.26% tin, 0.53% copper & 38g/t silver from 359.0 metres depth;
  • A15-49: 9.5 metres at 0.9% tin, 0.26% copper & 12g/t silver from 393.9 metres depth, including
    •  2.4 metres at 2.4% tin, 0.43% copper & 8g/t silver from 396.6 metres depth.
  • True thickness of the mantos are estimated to be at least 75% of the down-hole lengths for zinc and 85% for tin-copper, as the mineralization is generally flat-lying. True thicknesses of high-grade veins in A15-54 (Table 1) are estimated to be between 60% and 80% of the down-hole lengths.

Dr. Graham Carman, Tinka's President and CEO, stated: "We are very pleased with the new drill results, which continue to show that Ayawilca is a large and 'growing' polymetallic discovery. We estimate only 30% of the prospective area at Ayawilca has been drill tested, with high-priority targets lying immediately outside of the permitted area (e.g., South Ayawilca, West Ayawilca, Chaucha). Drilling permit renewals and extensions are under way to test targets beyond the current limits of drilling. We expect the new permits, which will cover an area of approximately 9 km2 (i.e., 3 times the size of the existing permits), will be granted during the second half of 2016.

"The 2015 drill program, in particular, has extended the zinc mineralization to the south and has also linked the Central and Eastern Ayawilca zinc areas together. Tinka's geological team is now compiling and interpreting the extensive information gathered from the drilling. We expect to update the February 2015 zinc mineral resource, as well as estimate an initial tin-copper mineral resource, in 2016.

"In the next 6 months Tinka will continue its field activities focusing on district-scale exploration. We are planning a systematic property-wide airborne magnetic survey covering the entire tenement package, consisting of 140 km2, just as soon as weather and permitting processes allow (expected May 2016). Company geologists have already identified base metal occurrences several kilometres to the north, with characteristics similar to those outcropping over the blind Ayawilca zone, in areas of no or limited previous exploration. Only 15% of our highly prospective tenement package has been covered with magnetics - we believe this upcoming airborne survey will find new areas of mineralization and provide additional upside for the future of the project. Tinka remains in a strong financial position with around C$7 million cash and no debt at the end of September 2015."

2015 Ayawilca Drill Program

The 2015 program focused on drill testing extensions of the Inferred Mineral Resource at East, Central and West Ayawilca (see Figures 1 & 2). Twenty three step-out holes for 8,917.5 metres were completed using two diamond drill rigs between August and December 2015. One hole (A15-48) was lost at 69 metres depth. 

In the case of tin, true widths are at least 85% of down-hole length due to the flat-lying mineralization. True widths of the zinc intercepts are believed to be at least 75% of the down-hole widths, as the mineralization is interpreted to be generally gently dipping. Table 1 shows the drill intercepts highlights for all 2015 holes. Table 2 summarises the drill hole collar information for all 2015 holes. Two north-south interpretive cross sections are shown for 333400E and 333900E sections, respectively (see Figures 3 and 4).

Geology of Ayawilca

Zinc mineralization at Ayawilca occurs as massive to semi-massive sulphide replacements of Mesozoic limestone up to 250 metres thick (Pucara Group). The zinc mineralization is interpreted to be hosted mostly by gently-dipping replacement bodies or 'mantos', with feeders which are sub-vertical to steeply-south dipping. The zinc occurs as sulphide impregnations (sphalerite) accompanied by abundant pyrite, pyrrhotite, chlorite, iron carbonate, and/or magnetite. Minor sulphides include galena, chalcopyrite, and arsenopyrite. The Pucara limestone is overlain by a 150 metre thick sequence of Cretaceous sandstone (Goyllarisquizga Group). The sandstone forms a barren cap to the mineralization, although narrow sphalerite-rich sub-vertical veins (<1 - 3 metres wide) cut the sandstone and occasionally outcrop at the surface especially at West Ayawilca.

Massive to semi-massive pyrrhotite mantos, which occur at or near the base of the Pucara Group limestone, host tin and copper mineralization. The pyrrhotite bodies are magnetic, and are the main source of the strong geophysical anomalies. The pyrrhotite-tin-copper mantos vary in thickness from a few metres to up to 50 metres thick. Sulphide stockwork veins occur beneath the mantos hosted within the underlying metamorphic rocks (Excelsior Group). Based on a mineralogical study of eight tin-bearing samples from seven drill holes (PR November 25, 2014), tin at Ayawilca occurs predominantly as cassiterite (tin oxide), the most common ore mineral of tin, with minor stannite (tin-copper sulphide). Almost half of the cassiterite was coarse-grained (> 0.3 mm), providing the opportunity for possible gravity separation of the coarser tin fractions in any future mining operation. Copper was predominantly chalcopyrite. 

The Ayawilca project is located in the high Andes Mountains at elevations of between 4,000 and 4,300 metres. Ayawilca would likely be mined, if proven to be economic, using underground mining methods accessed by horizontal portals at lower elevations.

Notes on core sampling:

All holes are HQ diamond cores with recoveries generally at or close to 100%. The drill core is marked up, logged, and photographed on site. The cores are cut in half at the Company's core storage facility with half-cores stored as a future reference. The other half-core is bagged on average over 1 to 2 metre composite intervals and sent to SGS laboratory in Lima for assay in batches. Standards, blanks and duplicates are inserted by the Company for quality control purposes. At the laboratory, samples are dried, crushed to 100% passing 2mm, with 500 grams pulverized for multi-element analysis by ICP using multi-acid digestion. Samples assaying over 1% zinc, lead, or copper are re-assayed using precise ore-grade AAS techniques.

Samples which assayed approximately 200 ppm tin or greater in the ICP analysis were re-assayed for tin by fusion with sodium peroxide and AAS finish (SGS Lima laboratory method SGS-MN-ME-112). The fusion results are presented in Table 1, where available. The high-grade tin interval in A15-40 (50.5 metres) was check assayed by XRF pressed powder technique (ALS Lima laboratory method ME-XRF15b) with the results being the same as fusion within analytical uncertainty. Gold was assayed by fire-assay with a 30g charge using an AAS finish, but is not routinely assayed due to low gold values found in most samples. 

Notes on drill results in Table 1:

The down-hole intersections using a 1% Zn or 0.1% Sn cut-off grade (over 6 metre intervals) are summarized in Table 1. High-grade zinc intersections use a 3% Zn cut-off grade. Intercepts (Int) shown are down-hole widths. Cut-off grades are 1% Zn or 0.1% Sn over 6 metre intervals. In the case of tin, true widths are at least 85% of down-hole length due to the flat-lying nature of the mineralization. True widths of the zinc intercepts are believed to be at least 75% of the down-hole widths as the mineralization is generally gently dipping (except where marked with * in hole A15-36 where true thickness is estimated to be approx. 30% of down-hole length). N/A = Not assayed.

Notes on drill hole data Table 2:

Eastings and Northings are based on the PSAD56/18S UTM datum. Elevations were taken from a measured topographic model compiled from field surveys using theodolite from known surveyed points at a scale of 1:1,000. Azimuth and dip measurements of drill holes were taken using compass and inclinometer at surface. All holes were down-hole surveyed; small variances in both azimuth and dip do occur down hole but are not shown here.
