[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, March 12, 2013 /CNW/ - Tinka Resources Limited (the \"Company\"), (TSXV: TK) (Frankfurt: TLD)\n (Pinksheets: TKRFF), announces the results from the first hole, A13-01, drilled in 2013 at\n the Company's 100% owned Ayawilca project located in west-central Peru.\n\n\nHole A13-01 is located 200 metres east of holes A12-08 and A12-09, (see\n press release dated January 8, 2013) and 640 metres east of the initial\n discovery of semi-massive and massive sulphides in holes 52B and 53\n (see press releases dated February 23, 2012 and November 21, 2011).\n\n\nMr Carter said: \"We are extremely pleased with these results as they\n continue to demonstrate the presence of strong zinc mineralization 640\n metres east of the original hole 53 discovery and within the 1,200\n metre strike length IP anomaly (2010 and 2012 surveys) at Ayawilca.\n Drilling will continue to test the geophysical conductors.\"\n\n\nSemi-massive and massive sulphides occur interspersed with highly\n altered sediments of the Oyon formation which is host to the sulphide\n mineralization found at the Ayawilca project. The overlying Gollyar\n group sandstones host the silver resource at the Company's Colquipucro\n project located 1.5 km to the north. The sulphide minerals consist of\n pyrite, pyrrhotite and sphalerite with lesser arsenopyrite and\n chalcopyrite. Pyrrhotite (a magnetic iron sulphide) is more abundant at\n depth, along with increased chalcopyrite; a 20 meter interval\n containing elevated copper values yielded results of up to 0.9% Cu.\n\n\n\n\n\nHole #\n\n\nEasting(m)\n\n\nNorthing (m)\n\n\nElevation (m)\n\n\nAzimuth(deg)\n\n\nDip(deg)\n\n\nDepth (m)\n\n\nFrom(m)\n\n\nTo (m)\n\n\nInterval (m)\n\n\nZn %\n\n\nA13-01\n\n\n333600\n\n\n8846038\n\n\n4168\n\n\n180\n\n\n-70\n\n\n359.95\n\n\n174\n\n\n180\n\n\n6\n\n\n3.26\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n224\n\n\n236\n\n\n12\n\n\n5.84\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\nIncluding\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n228\n\n\n232\n\n\n4\n\n\n11.56\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n248\n\n\n254\n\n\n6\n\n\n1.62\n\n\n\n\n\nThe geometry of and controls to the mineralization are not yet fully\n understood, but a series of intersecting fault structures that underlie\n Ayawilca are ...
