[{"type":"text","content":"Tinka Drills 45 Metres @ 12% Zinc Including 16 Metres @ 22% Zinc at West AyawilcaVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 21, 2022 / Tinka Resources Limited (\"Tinka\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV & BVL: TK) (OTCQB: TKRFF) is pleased to announce results from four recent drill holes from the Company's ongoing infill and resource expansion drill program at the Ayawilca zinc project in Peru. Drill holes reported (A22-193, 197, 198 and 200) are from the West Ayawilca area and all have intersected high-grade mineralization. A particular highlight is the high-grade zinc intercept in hole A22-200, one of the best drill hole intersections ever made at West Ayawilca, with 44.9 metres at 12.0% zinc including 16.1 metres at 22.2% zinc. Results have now been reported for nine holes in the current program (including four in this release), with five more drill holes pending (including holes A22-202 and A22-203, which are in progress). A second drill rig has been mobilized and two rigs are operating 24-7, one located each at West and South Ayawilca.Key highlightsDrill holes A22-200, A22-197 and A22-198 all intersected high-grade zinc mineralization at West Ayawilca:A22-200: 44.9 metres at 12.0% zinc from 283.3 metres depth, including 16.1 metres at 22.2% zinc from 312.1 metres depth.A22-197: 79.4 metres at 5.3% zinc from 271.6 metres depth, including 26.3 metres at 8.4% zinc from 281.7 metres depth.A22-198: 37.0 metres at 5.2% zinc from 312.3 metres depth, including 7.2 metres at 9.1% zinc from 326.0 metres depth.Drill hole A22-193 intersected high-grade silver mineralization at relatively shallow depth on the edges of the zinc zone mineralization at West Ayawilca:A22-193: 21.6 metres at 175 g/t silver, 1.0% zinc and 0.3% lead from 168.3 metres depth, including 5.8 metres at 567 g/t silver, 0.8% zinc and 0.3% lead from 168.3 metres depth.Holes reported here were drilled within the existing resource boundaries and will improve the geological knowledge and confidence of the West Ayawilca zinc zone, in particular the distribution of the high-grade zinc sulphide mineralization.Zinc mineralization remains open at depth beneath hole A22-200.Drilling is expected to continue into early 2023 with two rigs operating - one at South and one at West.Results are now reported for nine drill holes in the 2022 drill program, with approximately 12 additional hole...
