Tinka Resources Limited announced 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), Zinc Mineralization (veins), Tin-Copper Mineralization (mantos).
