VANCOUVER, Nov. 21, 2011 /CNW/ - Tinka Resources Limited (the "Company"), (TSXV - TK; Frankfurt - TLD; Pinksheets -TKRFF), announces the results from the final three drill holes testing the Ayawilca zone on the Company's wholly-owned Colquipucro silver-zinc-lead property, west-central Peru.
All holes intercepted altered siltstones and fine to coarse grained sandstones, randomly crosscut by semi-massive to massive sphalerite veins. In addition, hole DDH53 encountered a wide section of massive and breccia-style pyrite-sphalerite mineralization with minor galena. The mineralization in hole DDH53 remains open at depth.
Mineralized intervals, dominated by sphalerite, include:

* DDH-53 remains open at depth
Estimated true widths have not been calculated.
As a result of these assays, the Company will recommence drilling at the Ayawilca zone and complete up to 3 additional deep diamond drill holes to assess the extent of the polymetallic mineralization. This area of polymetallic mineralization lies immediately east of the zone drill tested this year in strongly faulted and recessive sandstones. The Company has 8 permitted drill pad sites located up to 700 m east of the main Ayawilca target zone; drill holes DDH52 and DDH53 were drilled from the westernmost of these permitted sites.
Mr Carter said: "These are encouraging results as they confirm the presence of polymetallic mineralization at the Ayawilca zone and that there exists the possibility of defining further resources."
