Tinka Announces Positive Initial Drill Results at Colquipucro, Peru

Vancouver, Canada (ots/PRNewswire) -

- Including 10m Grading 625 g/t Silver and 28m Grading 105 g/t
Silver

Tinka Resources Limited (the "Company") (TSXv - TK; Frankfurt -
TLD; Pinksheets - TKRFF). Mr. Andrew Carter, President & CEO,
provides the results of the first four drill holes of an eleven hole
diamond drill exploration program currently underway at the Company's
100% owned Colquipucro silver project, west-central Peru. Three holes
have targeted known surface and underground mineralization along the
westernmost section of the program area, and one hole targeted known
surface mineralization one hundred metres to the east.

Said Mr. Carter: "The initial assay results from Colquipucro are
very encouraging and we look forward to the continuation of this
program. The results from CDD4 are significant as it is the first
opportunity the Company has had to test along strike from the adit
area. The new drill contractor is currently drilling hole 6 and is
proceeding very satisfactorily."

All intercepts are down-hole lengths and true widths have not been
calculated. A 30 g/t cut-off has been used for silver and a 0.1% cut
off for lead and zinc. It should be noted that badly fractured ground
has caused poor core recovery in a number of sampled intervals.

All diamond drilling has been performed using HQ and NQ diameter
core. Core is logged and split on site under the supervision of Tinka
geologists. Sampling is done on two metre intervals and samples are
transported by company staff to Plenge Laboratories in Lima, Peru
for assay by multi acid digestion method. The Company has continued
a program of randomly inserting known sample standards as a means of
checking on laboratory analytical reproducibility. Random samples
were also transported to IPL Laboratories in Vancouver for check
analysis. Results from the quality control program are within
acceptable limits.

The Company's Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument
43-101, John Nebocat (P.Eng.), who has visited the drill site to both
observe the drilling and sampling procedures, has reviewed and
approved the contents of this press release.

On behalf of the Board,
