[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Feb. 23, 2012 /CNW/ - Tinka Resources Limited (the \"Company\"), (TSXV: TK) (Frankfurt: TLD)\n (Pinksheets: TKRFF), announces results from drilling of the Ayawilca zone at the Company's\n 100 percent-owned Colquipucro project, west-central Peru.\n\n\nHole DD52B, completed in January, was drilled to test a large 3-D\n induced polarization (IP) anomaly detected in 2010. Hole 53, previously\n reported in the news release of November 21 2011, yielded several\n massive and semi-massive sulphide intercepts, including 30 m of 3.5%\n Zn; the hole ended in mineralization.\n\n\nHole DD71, drilled previously (see press release of November 21, 2011)\n and located about 250 m NW of hole DD52B, returned an 8 m interval that\n graded 15.9% Zn and 33 g/t Ag. The mineralization in hole DD71 is\n interpreted as a high grade vein emanating from the massive sulphide\n body defined by the IP anomaly extending for 600 m to the east.\n\n\nDD52B intercepted 3 mineralized intervals, of which the lowermost is the\n most significant. It ends abruptly against phyllites of the Devonian\n Excelsior group, suggesting a faulted offset. The IP anomaly continues\n to the north and will be tested by at least one hole in this direction.\n\n\nHole #\n\n\nEasting (m)\n\n\nNorthing (m)\n\n\nElevation(m)\n\n\nAzimuth\n\n\nDip\n\n\nFrom (m)\n\n\nTo(m)\n\n\nInterval (m)\n\n\nZinc (%)\n\n\nAg (g/t)\n\n\nDD71\n\n\n332741\n\n\n8846276\n\n\n4312\n\n\n165\n\n\n-50\n\n\n196\n\n\n204\n\n\n8\n\n\n15.9\n\n\n33\n\n\nDD53\n\n\n332979\n\n\n8846188\n\n\n4263\n\n\n165\n\n\n-60\n\n\n226\n\n\n256\n\n\n30\n\n\n3.5\n\n\n7\n\n\nDD52B\n\n\n332958\n\n\n8846084\n\n\n4263\n\n\n360\n\n\n-70\n\n\n200\n\n\n206\n\n\n6\n\n\n1.1\n\n\n31\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n226\n\n\n230\n\n\n4\n\n\n3.7\n\n\n8\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n270*\n\n\n288*\n\n\n18*\n\n\n5.4\n\n\n8\n\n\nincluding\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n277.6\n\n\n288\n\n\n10.4\n\n\n7.1\n\n\n8\n\n\n* composite average includes a 2 m gap assigned zero value.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe massive sulphide mineralization in both holes occurs in sedimentary\n breccias, greywacke and siltstones in a formation found immediately\n below the Gollyar sandstones--the host to the oxidized and\n fracture-controlled...
