Tinka Resources Limited announced assay results of a ten hole, 1,600-metre drill program at its 100%-owned Colquipucro silver project in central Peru. Seven of the holes (CDD39 to CDD45) were infill holes drilled on two section lines spaced 100 metres apart within the existing silver resource (32 million ounces inferred silver oxide resource reported on April 9, 2014.). All seven holes intersected strong, near-surface, oxidized, silver mineralization over substantial thicknesses.

Three other holes (CDD36 - CDD38) were step-out holes testing the extension of mineralization to the northwest with one hole intersecting significant grade. Drill holes completed in the current program are plotted on a geology map. Highlights of drill holes on two cross sections are also plotted.

Silver mineralization at Colquipucro is defined over an area of approximately 430 metres (north-south) by 200 metres (east-west), and a vertical thickness of around 80 metres. Drill line spacings are 50 metres apart across the deposit. The silver mineralization at Colquipucro is hosted predominately by a quartz sandstone unit, 80-100 metres thick, dipping gently to the southwest.

The silver oxide mineralization occurs with iron oxides (following oxidation of primary sulphides), with or without manganese oxide, commonly in highly fractured rocks. Mineralization appears to be enriched at the lower contact of the sandstone, and in east-west trending fracture zones which dip at moderate angles (30 to 70 degrees) to the north. Beneath the sandstone lies a sedimentary unit consisting of breccia, siltstone, shale and limestone approximately 150 metres thick.

The Oyon Formation hosts zinc mineralization (oxidized or transitional to sulphide). A metamorphic sedimentary rock, "phyllite", lies beneath the Oyon Formation and is unmineralized. Drill holes were angled to the south or to the north at angles of between 42 and 60 degrees.

The true widths of the drill intercepts are between 60% and 100% of the reported down-hole widths. A 15 g/t silver cut-off over 6 metre drilling intervals was used by the Company. Intervals of no core recovery within mineralized intervals have been given a zero grade.
