The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund exploration expenditures at the Company's Ayawilca Project in Peru, as well as for other corporate purposes and general working capital. No commissions or finder's fees were paid by Tinka in respect of the closing of the Second Tranche.

Dr. Graham Carman, President and CEO of Tinka states: "We are pleased to close the second and final tranche of the Offering, and wish to thank IFC and the Sentient Group for their continued support. We are looking forward to commencing our 10,000 to 15,000 metres drill campaign at the Ayawilca property within a matter of weeks.  This drill program will initially focus on drill testing the extensions of the high grade zinc mineralization previously discovered at West and South Ayawilca; followed by the drill testing of new targets east and north of the existing resources at Zone 3 and Chaucha."
