Dr. Graham Carman, Tinka's President and CEO, stated: "Receiving formal notification from the Peruvian authorities of this important milestone at Silvia is a big step forward for the Company, as we now have a gold-copper property in our portfolio with multiple targets that can be moved forward without delay, subject only to adequate financing. Silvia provides Tinka the opportunity to move into gold and copper exploration whilst we continue with the strategic review at our flagship Ayawilca zinc - tin project. To finally have the drill permit at Silvia, after working on permitting for several years, is a great achievement by the Tinka team."
"The Silvia NW target, which covers three known areas of mineralization along a 4 km trend, has been significantly upgraded by Tinka since the acquisition from BHP in 2021. The Property has not been drill tested. Tinka's discovery of high-grade gold - copper mineralization at Silvia NW Area A (including trench results of 46 metres @ 1.9 g/t gold and
Key highlights of the Silvia gold-copper property:
The Property was acquired
100% by Tinka from BHP in 2021 for a1% NSR royalty and a one-time cash payment;Silvia consists of 10,906 hectares of granted exploration concessions immediately north of the Raura zinc-copper-silver mine owned by Grupo Breca (Figures 1 and 2);
Exploration work has identified three areas of gold-copper mineralization at the Silvia NW target (referred to as Areas A, B and C) which align on a trans-Andean north-east trend along a strike length of 4 kilometres (Figure 2);
Gold and copper mineralization is associated with 'skarn' alteration in intrusions hosted by Cretaceous limestone;
Trench sampling at Area A returned results of up to 46 metres grading 1.9 g/t Au and
0.8% Cu in 2021 (link here);Area A trench samples from an area covering 500 m by 150 m returned an average grade of 0.55 g/t Au and
0.45% Cu (average of 261 non-selective samples) (link here);Drone-based magnetics was flown at 100-m line spacing over Silvia NW with several anomalies outlined, including a large circular feature 1.5 km in diameter at Area B interpreted as a potential mineralized intrusion at depth;
A drill permit (DIA) allowing up to 40 drill platforms covering all three target areas over approximately 4 km2 was approved by the General Directorate of Mining (DGM) in August 2023;
An access agreement was signed with the local community and notarized in November 2024;
The initial drill program at Area A, with planned drill hole locations, is shown in Figure 3.
The authorization to initiate activities was received from DGM on August 12th, 2025.
