Tinka Resources Limited announced assay results for seven drill holes from the ongoing resource expansion and infill drill program at the Ayawilca project in Peru. Hole A20177 intersected very high grade veinstyle zincsilverlead mineralization outside of the zinc resource at about 100 metres depth. Three holes (A20178, 177 & 175) also successfully intersected high grade mantostyle zinc mineralization at the Camp area. Hole A20179 was an infill hole at the West area which intersected two wide zones of mineralization with better than expected zinc grades. The other three holes intersected extensions of zincrich mineralization at the South area (holes A20176, 174, 172). Tinka has now completed 6,500 metres of the planned 7,500 metres in the resource drilling program. Sixteen holes have been completed with two in progress (A21185 & 186) and at least two more are planned before the end of the program. Results are now reported for half of the drill holes in the current program.
