[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 20, 2016) - Tinka Resources Limited (\"Tinka\" or the \"Company\") (TSX VENTURE:TK)(OTC PINK:TKRFF) is pleased to announce 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): A15-53: 16.5 metres at 5.5% zinc, 92g/t indium & 11g/t silver from 344.2 metres depth, including: 6.8 metres at 8.2% zinc, 117g/t indium & 12g/t silver from 353.9 metres depth; A15-52: 18.6 metres at 4.4% zinc, 81g/t indium and 4g/t silver from 306.1 metres depth, including 1.6 metres at 11.1% zinc, 280g/t indium & 7g/t silver from 319.9 metres depth; A15-49: 8.3 metres at 3.6% zinc, 2.1% lead & 28g/t silver from 279.7 metres depth; Zinc Mineralization (veins): A15-54: 5.8 metres at 8.9% zinc and 26g/t silver from 95.9 metres depth, including: 1.6 metres at 28.1% zinc and 76g/t silver from 95.9 metres depth; Tin-Copper Mineralization (mantos): A15-55: 13.0 metres at 0.74% tin, 0.11% copper & 5g/t silver from 411.6 metres depth, including 4.0 metres at 2.0% tin, 0.23% copper & 7g/t silver from 420.6 metres depth, and; A15-52: 5.1 metres at 1.2% tin, 0.33% copper & 24g/t silver from 356.1 metres depth, including 0.9 metres at 5.26% tin, 0.53% copper & 38g/t silver from 359.0 metres depth; A15-49: 9.5 metres at 0.9% tin, 0.26% copper & 12g/t silver from 393.9 metres depth, including 2.4 metres at 2.4% tin, 0.43% copper & 8g/t silver from 396.6 metres depth.
