NEWS RELEASE November 3, 2017
TINKA DRILLS 13 METRES GRADING 1.6 % TIN AT SOUTH AYAWILCA
Vancouver, Canada – Tinka Resources Limited ( “Tinka” or the “ Company”) ( TSXV & BVL: TK )
(OTCPK: TKRFF) is pleased to announce tin assay results for eight drill hole s from the South Ayawilca
zinc discovery area in central Peru (zinc intercepts from these holes were previously reported earlier in
2017). Tin mineralization at Ayawilca is predominantly in the form of cassiterite (SnO 2), disseminated in
flat-lying massive to semi-massive pyrrhotite ‘mantos’ which ar e physically separated from the zinc zones.
Tin at South Ayawilca connects and expands the known tin minera lization at Central Ayawilca, which in-
cludes drill intercepts of 50.5 metres grading 1.23 % tin & 0.1 6 % copper in hole A15-040, and 50.0 metres
grading 0.52 % tin & 0.25 % copper in A15-039 (News Releases October 13, 2015 & September 29, 2015 )
(see Figure 1).
Assays for four new zinc drill hole intercepts are also reporte d below. An updated zinc and tin resource esti-
mate is expected shortly, with results for all the holes to be included in the resource update now reported (up
to hole A17-098). Two drill rigs continue to test new targets at Ayawilca - current holes are A17-105 and
A17-091A (Valley and Zone 3 areas, respectively) with several m ore holes planned before the end of the
year.
Key Highlights of Tin intercepts at South Ayawilca
Hole A17-063:
13.0 metres at 1.57 % tin from 273.0 metres depth, including
o 4.0 metres at 2.82 % tin from 275.0 metres depth; and
5.5 metres at 1.22 % tin, 0.22 % copper & 16 g/t silver from 369.0 metres depth, including
o 1.1 metres at 3.72 % tin, 0.81% copper & 32 g/t silver from 373.4 metres depth;
Hole A17-069:
39.0 metres at 0.37 % tin from 206 metres depth;
Hole A17-070:
16.7 metres at 0.51 % tin from 285.0 metres depth, including
o 3.3 metres at 1.45 % tin from 286.7 metres depth, and
2.0 metres at 2.16 % tin from 348.0 metres depth, and
2.0 metres at 1.42 % tin, 0.56 % copper & 75 g/t silver from 362 metres depth;
Hole A17-56:
15.1 metres at 0.56 % tin from 212.0 metres depth, including
o 3.95 metres at 1.07 % tin from 217.35 metres depth.
Note: A cut-off of 0.2% tin over 6 metres has been applied.
Dr. Graham Carman, Tinka´s President and CEO, stated: “Tinka is focusing on realizing the potential of the
extensive high-grade zinc mineralization at Ayawilca. However, we believe the project also offers additional
upside for other commodities, especially for tin, which occurs in separate mineralized bodies to the zinc. Tin
intercepts reported here from South Ayawilca are be lieved to connect with the Central Ayawilca tin re-
source, extending the footprint of the tin mineralization by several hundred metres. Tin is currently trading
at ~6 times the price of zinc, and ~3 times the price of copper on the London Metals Exchange, so these tin
intercepts are potentially significant to the project. We look forward to updating our zinc and tin resources
very shortly, which will include the 2017 South Ayawilca discovery.”
Zinc assays for four new drill holes from the Ayawilca South an d Valley zones are also reported here, with
all holes intersecting significant zinc mineralization. Two hol es drilled at the Valley area targeted previously
untested magnetic anomalies. Results have confirmed the presenc e of zinc mineralization at or near the base
2
of the host carbonate sequence. Two holes tested extensions of South Ayawilca (A17-095 & 098). See Fig-
ure 1 for drill holes locations.
Highlights of new Zinc intercepts at Ayawilca
Hole A17-090 (Valley area):
1.5 metres at 6.6 % zinc, 0.5 % lead & 13 g/t silver from 132.6 metres depth;
Hole A17-092 (Valley area):
11.7 metres at 3.2 % zinc, 0.2 % lead & 32 g/t silver from 241.8 metres depth;
Hole A17-095 (South Ayawilca):
1.8 metres at 14.8 % zinc, 0.1% lead & 48 g/t silver from 52.2 metres depth, and
2.0 metres at 7.2 % zinc, 0.6 % lead, 163 g/t silver & 146 g/t indium from 101.7 metres depth;
Hole A17-098 (South Ayawilca):
3.4 metres at 4.3 % zinc & 18 g/t silver from 230.6 metres depth, and
3.7 metres at 4.3 % zinc & 11 g/t silver from 238.6 metres depth.
Dr. Graham Carman, Tinka´s President and CEO, continued: “Drill results from the Valley area, about 1
kilometre north of the Ayawilca zinc zone resources, i ndicate that the Ayawilca zinc system is very large and
has significant potential to grow. We plan to continue drill testing for new zinc discoveries even as an updat-
ed resource estimate is being finalized. This strategy allows Tinka to pursue the blue-sky potential of Ayawil-
ca, while simultaneously working towards de-risking the known resources.”
Drill Progress
Seven drill holes from South and Central Ayawilca have assays p ending (A17-097, 099 to 104). Two holes
are currently in progress at Zone 3 (A17-091A) and Valley (A17-105).
True thicknesses of the zinc and tin intersections are estimate d to be at least 85% of the downhole thickness,
except where otherwise noted in footnotes to Table 1 and Table 2. All significant zinc (lead, silver, indium)
intercepts of the 2017 program are summarized in Table 1 with t he strongest intercepts in bold text. Signifi-
cant tin (copper, silver) intercep ts of the 2017 program are su mmarized in Table 2. Table 3 summarizes drill
collar information.

Notes on sampling and assaying
Drill holes are diamond HQ or NQ size core holes with recoverie s generally above 80% and often close to 100%. The
drill core is marked up, logged, and photographed on site. The cores are cut in half at the Company’s core storage facil-
ity, with half-cores stored as a future reference. Half-core i s bagged on average over 1 to 2 metre composite intervals
and sent to ALS or SGS laboratories in Lima for assay in batche s. Standards and blanks are inserted into each batch
prior to departure from Tinka’s core storage facilities. At th e laboratory samples are dried, crushed to 100% passing
2mm, then 500 grams pulverized for multi-element analysis by IC P using multi-acid digestion. Samples assaying over
1% zinc, lead, or copper and over 100 g/t silver are re-assayed using precise ore-grade AAS techniques.
Samples which assayed approximately 200 ppm tin or greater in t he ICP analysis were re-assayed for tin by fusion with
sodium peroxide and AAS finish (SGS Lima laboratory method SGS- MN-ME-112) or by XRF pressed powder tech-
nique (ALS Lima laboratory method ME-XRF15b).

availability and costs of financing needed in the future, equip ment failure, unexpected geological conditions, imprecision in resource
estimates or metal recoveries, success of future development in itiatives, competition, operating performance, environmental an d
safety risks, delays in obtaining or failure to obtain necessar y permits and approvals from local authorities, community agree ments
and relations, and other development and operating risks. Shoul d any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or
should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual resul ts may vary materially from those described herein. Although T inka
believes that assumptions inherent in the forward-looking state ments are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guaran tees
