[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nVANCOUVER, Nov. 12, 2014 /CNW/ - Tinka Resources Limited (\"Tinka\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: TK) (OTCPK: TKRFF) is pleased to announce results of the first four holes of its current drill program at the Ayawilca zinc project, central Peru.  All four holes have intersected high-grade zinc sulphide mineralization over substantial thicknesses.  Tinka continues to prove the large scale zinc potential of Ayawilca. \n\nKey drill results:\n\nWest Ayawilca area:\n\n\nA14-22: 148.5 metres at 4.3% zinc from 170.0 metres depth, including 32.8 metres at 7.4% zinc from 211.2 metres depth, and 31.0 metres at 6.3% zinc from 283.5 metres depth; \nA14-20: 2.2 metres at 21.0% zinc from 164 metres depth; and 34.15 metres at 5.3% zinc from 179.85 metres depth, including 12.0 metres at 10.5% zinc from 179.85 metres depth; and 42 metres at 4.3% zinc from 268 metres depth; \nA14-19: 144.9 metres at 3.9% zinc from 184.0 metres depth, including 18.0 metres at 7.1% zinc from 250 metres depth;\nEast Ayawilca area:\n\n\nA14-21: 19.6 metres at 5.7% zinc from 164.0 metres depth, including 6.0 metres at 10.2% zinc from 166.0 metres depth.\nThree of the holes at West Ayawilca (A14-19, A14-20, A14-22) were collared within 150 metres of a previous Tinka drill hole, A13-05, which intersected 213 metres at 5.3 % zinc from 130 metres depth (see Figures 1 and 2). The fourth hole (A14-21) targeted a previously untested geophysical magnetic anomaly at East Ayawilca and also intersected significant zinc mineralization.  A 1% zinc cut-off grade over 6 metre intervals was used by the Company. Credits of lead (0.1-0.4%) and silver (10 to 20 g/t Ag) typically accompany the zinc mineralization.  The mineralized rock is interpreted from drill core measurements to be generally gently-dipping.  The true widths of the intercepts are believed to be at least 75% of the down-hole widths. \n\nDr. Graham Carman, Tinka's President and CEO, stated: \"These results from the first four holes in the current drill campaign are very significant, with all holes intersecting strong zinc sulphide mineralization over substantial vertical thicknesses.  At West Ayawilca we are starting to see definition of the zinc mineralization around A13-05 with good probability of continuity of mineralization between holes covering a surface area of approximately 200 ...
