[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, April 2, 2013 /CNW/ - Tinka Resources Limited (the \"Company\"), (TSXV: TK) (Frankfurt: TLD)\n (Pinksheets: TKRFF), announces the results from drill holes, A13-02 and A13-03, at the\n Company's 100% owned Ayawilca project located in west-central Peru.\n\n\nHole A13-02 was collared at the same site as holes A12-08 and A12-09.\n The objective of this hole was to test the southern extension of the\n highly mineralized intercepts found in hole A12-08 (see press release\n dated January 8, 2013). Nearly continuous mineralization was\n intersected between 236 m and 328 m depth, but at slightly lesser\n grades.\n\n\nHole A13-03 was located at the same site as A13-01 (see press release\n dated March 12, 2013), 200 m east of A13-02.\n\n\nMr Carter said: \"We are extremely pleased with these results as they\n continue to demonstrate the presence of strong zinc mineralization over\n a wide area within the 1,200 metre strike length IP anomaly (2010 and\n 2012 surveys) at Ayawilca. The application for further drill platforms\n at Ayawilca is in the advanced stages with the government authorities,\n and 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 varying proportions of pyrite, pyrrhotite and sphalerite with lesser\n galena, arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite. In general, pyrrhotite and\n chalcopyrite contents tend to increase with depth and to the east, but\n further drill testing is required to confirm any trends in mineral\n zoning.\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\nPb %\n\n\nA13-02\n\n\n333400\n\n\n8846038\n\n\n4213\n\n\n180\n\n\n-60\n\n\n370.9\n\n\n236.0\n\n\n240.0\n\n\n4.0\n\n\n2.80\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n246.0\n\n\n262.0\n\n\n16.0\n\n\n3.36\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n&#xA0...
