Advancing the Ayawilca
Polymetallic Project
in Central Peru
TINKA RESOURCES
Tinka is an exploration-development company with its
flagship property being the 100%-owned polymetallic Ayawilca
Zinc-Silver-Tin project in central Peru.
Tinka Resources
Tinka's flagship property is the Ayawilca Zinc-Silver-Tin project, located 200 km north of Lima, in the Pasco region of central Peru. Ayawilca is a carbonate replacement deposit (CRD), an important style of economic silver-zinc-lead mineralization in central Peru (mines include Cerro de Pasco and Morococha). The Ayawilca Zinc Zone was discovered by Tinka in 2012 and the Company has drilled ~100,000 metres at the property as of August 2023. Ayawilca has grown into one of the largest zinc-silver resources in the Americas.

Zinc-Silver-Tin
Project
Zinc Zone
Zinc mineralization at Ayawilca occurs as massive sulphide lenses hosted in limestones of the Pucará Group (Triassic-Jurassic age)
Silver Zone
The Ayawilca Silver Zone is a silver-rich vein structure which truncates the northern edge of the massive sulphide bodies at South Ayawilca.
Tin Zone
The Ayawilca Tin Zone forms flat-lying sulphide lenses at the contact of the limestone and phyllite, underlying the Zinc Zone at Central and East Ayawilca and as a lense at South Ayawilca.
