[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 28, 2015) - Tinka Resources Limited (\"Tinka\" or the \"Company\") (TSX VENTURE:TK)(OTC PINK:TKRFF) is pleased to announce further high-grade tin and zinc mineralization in six step-out drill holes (A15-41 to A15-46) from the Ayawilca project, central Peru. Tinka continues to grow the footprint of the polymetallic mineral system at Ayawilca. Tin (cassiterite) mineralization is part of an extensive mineralized layer, located below and separate from the Zinc mineralization that hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 13.3 million tonnes grading 5.9% zinc, 0.2% lead, 68g/t indium, 14g/t silver (PR February 26, 2015). The Company is two-thirds the way through a 20-hole, up to 10,000 metre drill program, with results now reported for thirteen holes. The focus of the current drill program is to extend the initial zinc resource, and work towards an initial resource estimate for the tin-copper-silver mineralization. Drill highlights: Tin-Copper Intercepts: - A15-44: 14.9 metres at 1.10% tin, 0.36% copper and 26g/t silver from 350.5 m depth; - A15-43: 47.7 metres at 0.47% tin, 0.20% copper and 4g/t silver from 281.9 m depth, including: -- 6.0 metres at 1.28% tin, 0.52% copper and 10g/t silver from 314.0 m depth; - True thickness of the tin-copper intercepts estimated to be at least 90% of down-hole length; - Drill holes A15-43 and A15-44 are located 400 and 600 metres, respectively, from hole A15-40 which intersected 50.5 metres at 1.23% tin and 0.16% copper reported in PR October 13, 2015. Zinc Vein Intercepts: - A15-46: 2.1 metres at 37.3% zinc, 347g/t indium, 255g/t silver and 2.3% lead from 99.2 m depth; - A15-43: 3.3 metres at 14.9% zinc, 99g/t indium, 23g/t silver from 130.7 metres; - A15-41: 1.9 metres at 28.0% zinc, 190g/t indium and 45g/t silver from 82.4 metres, and; - True thickness of the zinc intercepts in veins are estimated to be between 35 and 65% of the down-hole length; - Next steps: Drilling will continue until mid-November with two drill rigs working continuously, testing extensions of the tin mineralization discovered in A15-40, and step-out holes of the East and West Ayawilca Zinc Mineral Resource (Figures 1 and 2). Dr. Graham Carman, Tinka's President and CEO, stated: \"The Ayawilca tin-copper discovery continues to grow, exceeding our expectations. These new tin-copp...
