TINKA PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE OF EXPLORATION PROJECTS IN PERU

VANCOUVER, Sept. 21 /CNW/ - Tinka Resources Limited (the "Company") (TSXV - TK; Frankfurt - TLD; Pinksheets -TKRFF). The Company (Tinka) provides the following update on the status of its exploration projects in Peru. At Colquipucro, where the Company has an NI43-101 compliant silver resource, Tinka has been working on the permitting approval process and there are no unresolved issues or concerns. The process is one which, unfortunately, is time consuming and cumbersome. The Company is confident it is in the final stages of obtaining the amendment to the existing 50 hole drill permit. Agreements are in place with the local communities and a contract has been signed with a drilling contractor.

Following the positive initial metallurgy results, a comprehensive mineralogical study was conducted on concentrates produced from sections of Zone 1 drill holes CDD 6 & CDD 13 at Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden using Qualitative X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microprobe analyses. The most common silver mineral identified was a silver-sulphide, very likely argentite or acanthite. A silver sulphosalt of undetermined composition was also noted. Pyrite, arsenopyrite and zircon are common minerals identified in the concentrates.

At Tibillos, the Company's porphyry copper property in the coastal batholith northeast of Nazca, the access road has now been completed. Geological mapping and an induced polarization geophysical survey will commence during October.

The Company's Qualified Person, John Nebocat (P.Eng.), has reviewed and approved the contents of this press release.

On behalf of the Board,

"Andrew Carter"
