Tinka Announces Listing on the Lima Stock Exchange

VANCOUVER, Oct. 24, 2017 /CNW/ - Tinka Resources Limited ("Tinka" or the "Company") (TSXV: TK) (BVL: TK) (OTCPK: TKRFF) announces that its common shares have been listed for trading on the Lima Stock Exchange ("BVL"). Trading will be conducted under the ticker symbol 'TK'. Kallpa Securities S.A.B., an authorized and regulated securities broker in Peru, is acting as Tinka's sponsoring broker. 

Dr. Graham Carman, President & CEO, stated: "We are excited to be listing Tinka on the Lima stock exchange, at a time of rising zinc prices due to the fundamental shortage of zinc on world metal markets. We have confidence in the future of Peru and its mining industry. Central Peru is a world-class zinc producer, and at the Ayawilca project, Tinka has one of the largest zinc discoveries in the region in many years. Tinka will be joining a limited number of producing zinc companies already listed on the BVL. Having a local listing will provide an opportunity for investors in the region to own Tinka shares and participate in the future success of our company."

The BVL is also a participant of the Mercado Integrado Latinoamericano ("MILA"). Through MILA, the BVL is increasingly integrated with the regional equity markets in Colombia, Chile and Mexico.  Additional information about the BVL can be found at www.bvl.com.pe (in Spanish).
