Tinka Resources Limited announced an exploration update at its 100% owned zinc silver and copper gold projects in Central Peru. Copper gold mineralization at `Area A' has been significantly expanded with the discovery of high grade copper gold veins ("Skarn Veins") in limestone up to 100 metres across strike from previously sampled mineralized skarn. The footprint of the skarn mineralization now covers an area of 550 metres by 400 metres including areas of shallow cover; Skarn Veins grade up to 1.1% copper and 7.9 g/t gold from 17 grab and rock chip samples over intervals of 0.1 to 0.3 metres individual samples range between 0.02% and 1.1% copper, and between 0.05 g/t and 7.4 g/t gold; Previous sampling across the original skarn discovery outcrop at Area A included 46 metres at 1.9 g/t gold and 0.8% copper, including 6 metres at 2.7% copper and 12.8 g/t gold; A preliminary mineralogical study of a high grade copper gold sample from Area A shows that gold occurs as fine grained native gold up to 20 microns in size inside chalcopyrite, while primary copper mineralization occurs almost entirely as chalcopyrite with trace amounts of late covellite; At Silvia NW, Areas A, B and C define a potential footprint of 3 x 1 kilometres.

Sampling results from Area B are currently being collated and interpreted by technical team; Field work has commenced in preparation for an Environmental Impact Declaration (or "DIA") to obtain the necessary permits for drilling at Silvia NW.
