[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Feb. 21, 2012 /CNW/ - Tinka Resources Limited (the \"Company\"), (TSXV - TK; Frankfurt - TLD;\n Pinksheets -TKRFF), announces the results from three further drill holes testing the\n northern extension of Zone 1 on the Company's wholly-owned Colquipucro\n silver-zinc-lead property, west-central Peru. The holes were drilled on\n the easternmost and central section lines of the known resource.\n\n\nThe holes intercepted oxidized, banded, \"zebra-stripe\" sandstone and\n progressed into the underlying sedimentary breccia, greywacke,\n siltstone and fluidized sulphide unit. This unit is generally quite\n thin or non-existent elsewhere in the resource area, but each of holes\n 16 to 19 intercepted many 10's of metres of this lithologic assemblage,\n not reaching the underlying Pucura limestone. Also, the mineralization\n in this unit is more oxidized than in holes further downslope or west\n from here. All holes intercepted the high grade veins/faults/gossan\n zones within the sandstone roughly perpendicular to the dip of the\n hole, while the intervening fracture-controlled mineralization in the\n sandstone was intercepted at about 45 degrees to the inclination of the\n drill hole, on average. The orientation of the mineralization within\n the underlying sedimentary breccia is not clear, however, narrow zones\n of intense oxidation suggest that the mineralized structures in the\n overlying sandstone may penetrate the underlying unit.  The\n mineralization in holes 17 and 18 remain open at depth and 19 was\n abandoned at 129 m due to drilling conditions.\n\n\nSignificant mineralized intervals, using a 15 g/t Ag cut-off, are shown\n below:\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\nFrom (m)\n\n\nTo (m)\n\n\nInterval (m)\n\n\nAg (g/t)\n\n\nCDD17*\n\n\n332798\n\n\n8847969\n\n\n4333\n\n\n180\n\n\n-50\n\n\n42\n\n\n44.2\n\n\n2.2\n\n\n20\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n46\n\n\n47.6\n\n\n1.6\n\n\n21\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n62\n\n\n66\n\n\n4\n\n\n47\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n102\n\n\n126.1\n\n\n24.1\n\n\n31\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n138\n\n\n144\n\n\n6\n\n\n29...
