Tinka Drills 24 Metres of 2.8% Zinc and 6.3 Metres of 6.19% Zinc at
Ayawilca Project, Peru
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan 15, 2014) -
Tinka Resources Limited (the "Company"),
(TSX-VENTURE:TK)(PINKSHEETS:TKRFF)(FRANKFURT:TLD), announces the
analytical results for holes A13-14 to A13-17 at the Company's 100%
owned Ayawilca project, located in west-central Peru. See table
below for a list of significant mineralized intervals.
Mr Carter said: "The Company is pleased with these intercepts of
zinc mineralization as they continue to demonstrate the potential
of the Ayawilca project. Although the drill sections are spaced
widely apart, mineralization has now been traced for 1,000 m
between the site of holes A13-05, A13-06 to the west and holes
A13-16, A13-17 to the east. The mineralization appears to be
spatially-related to the geophysical anomalies in all cases.
Drilling is currently underway 130 metres to the north of these
holes."
Hole A13-15 is located on section 333300E, about 100 m west of
the highly significant intercept found in hole A12-08 (see press
release dated Jan. 8, 2013.) Massive and semi-massive sulphides
were intersected between 321.1 m and 344.4 m depth with locally
moderate concentrations of sphalerite in a matrix dominated by
pyrite and pyrrhotite.
Drill holes A13-16 and A13-17 were collared along section
333900E about 570 m northeast of A12-08. Both of these holes
targeted an area where old workings are located along mineralized
fault structures that cut the overlying sandstone formation. This
site is also along the western margin of large, coincidental
magnetic and chargeability (IP) anomalies measuring about 700 m
east-west and 700 m north-south, respectively.
In hole A13-16 (-60 degrees north), semi-massive sulphides were
intersected between 354.9 m and 359.1 m and consisted of sphalerite
and pyrite associated with strong chlorite and moderate magnetite
alteration. Semi-massive sulphides, consisting of weak to moderate
sphalerite, accompanied by strong chlorite and moderate magnetite
alteration, occurs between 376.3 m and 394.1 m, from 436.0 m to
436.4 m and from 440.6 m to 443.5 m. The massive pyrrhotite horizon
found above the metamorphic basement rocks in many of the holes is
absent here.
Semi-massive sulphides (pyrite and sphalerite), along with
moderate chlorite and magnetite alteration, occur between 329.6 m
and 352.6 m depth in hole A13-17 (-75 degrees north). Sphalerite,
plus some galena, were found between 373.1 m and 378.9 m with the
same style of alteration. Massive pyrrhotite, containing pyrite,
sphalerite and lesser chalcopyrite, occurs from 380.1 m and 405.6 m
depth.

The geometry of and controls to the mineralization are not yet
fully understood, but a series of intersecting fault structures
that underlie Ayawilca are believed to be the source conduits. The
irregular nature of this replacement style mineralization hampers
any meaningful interpretation of the strike, dip and true thickness
of the zone(s), intercepted in these and previously reported drill
holes, at this time.
The reader is invited to visit the Company's website to view
diagrams of the drill hole locations and geophysical anomalies in
the corporate and technical presentations.
All diamond drilling has been performed using HQ diameter drill
rods, reducing to NQ diameter if required. All core has been logged
and split on site under the supervision of Tinka geologists with
sampling done on nominal two metre intervals. All the samples have
been transported by Company staff to SGS Laboratories in Lima, Peru
for ICP analyses using multi-acid digestion. Analytical standards
and blanks were routinely introduced in the sample suites sent to
the laboratory, and samples that exceeded their respective
threshold levels for Ag, Zn and Pb were re-assayed by specific
atomic absorption techniques.

Nebocat (P.Eng.), V.P. of Exploration for the Company, has reviewed
