Exploration program commences at Pancoy, Peru VANCOUVER, Nov. 15
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tinka Resources Limited (TSXv - TK;
Frankfurt - TLD; Pinksheets-TKRFF). Mr. Andrew Carter, President,
is pleased to report the commencement of an exploration program at
the Pancoy Project, Peru. A field crew has been mobilized to the
Company's 2,700-hectare Pancoy Project, located approximately 100
kilometres SSE of the highland city of Ayacucho. They will be on
site for approximately four weeks to undertake a comprehensive
rock-chip, channel sample, and geological mapping program. Previous
site visits have identified areas of immediate interest. At Pancoy,
a large area of alteration is recorded over an area of about 1 km
by 1.5 kms. The sedimentary rocks are intensely fractured and
brecciated, and gold mineralization appears associated with
veinlets within the structural breaks. The veinlets contain varying
assemblages of minerals including quartz, pyrite, limonite,
jarosite, goethite and haematite with sporadic galena, sphalerite,
chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite recorded within the contact zone of
sedimentary rocks and intrusives. A total of 20 rock chip samples
ranging in length from 2.5m to 4.5m have been taken by previous
explorers in the Pancoy core area and gold results ranged from
20ppb to 1,270ppb with eight of these samples assaying above 200ppb
(0.2 g/t) gold. Arsenic was also highly anomalous with eleven
samples assaying above 100ppm with a high of 2,220ppm. The results
suggest that the Pancoy area has the potential to host a large
low-grade gold deposit and further work is justified. Tinka
Resources Limited trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the

advanced project status by the most cost effective means and in the
shortest time possible. On behalf of the Board "Andrew Carter"
