Company Snapshot
Ayawilca
Peru
Tinka (TSXV:TK) is a CAD$95M market cap company focused on advancing its 100%-owned Ayawilca Zinc Project in Peru
Peru: A “top-two” zinc & copper mining country
Ayawilca is a zinc discovery made by Tinka with current resource (Nov. ‘18): 1.8 billion pounds Zinc Indicated plus 5.6 billion pounds Zinc Inferred One of the largest undeveloped Zinc projects in the world
Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) results expected by mid-2019
Additional discovery potential – drilling recommenced April 2019
Strong institutional investor base and over CAD$12 million in cash (Dec/18)
Management with proven track record in Peru
Zinc inventories are at an 11 year low and there is a scarcity of new zinc projects in the development pipeline
The Ayawilca zinc project has the size, grade and infrastructure to meet future zinc market needs

Zinc – A Metal We Can’t Live Without
Dominant use is for galvanization (rust protection) of steel plating used in construction, automobiles and home appliances – steel lasts 12 times longer when galvanized
Used to create the alloys brass and bronze, die castings, and in a variety of medical products, chemicals and paints
Critical to human health and for agricultural crop production – zinc fertilizers increase crop yields by ~40%
One of the original “battery metals” – zinc air batteries show great promise for utility scale energy storage

Zinc Supply Constraints
Zinc inventories have declined to 11 year lows and are at critical levels
Low zinc prices from 2008 to 2016 resulted in minimal zinc exploration investment, leading to few new discoveries
China is the main producer of zinc, but in recent times has been a net imp
6
Not Enough Zinc Projects in Pipeline
Chinese mine production declined 27% in 2018 due to tighter environmental standards
Zinc grades at operating mines continue to decline
Mine supply is forecast to peak in 2021, then a rapid supply gap if not enough development projects
Teck considers a giant zinc deposit to be > 6Mt Zn+Pb
Ayawilca is currently 3.5Mt Zn+Pb and 4.8Mt ZnEq (including tin) with potential to grow more
7
Giant Zinc Deposits
Ayawilca – Zn +Pb only
Ayawilca – ZnEq including tin
Few quality projects are located in lower risk jurisdictions or have good infrastructure
Ayawilca is a large, high grade resource with road access, power lines, and water
8
Notes: - Data from company websites, believed to be accurate - ZnEq based on spot metal prices on Nov. 22, 2018 - Global resources include Measured & Indicated and Inferred resources. Vazante and Cerro Lindo data only reflects Reserves.

Notes:
• CIM definitions were followed for Mineral Resources.
• Mineral Resources are reported above a cut-off NSR value of
US$55 per tonne.
• The NSR value was based on estimated metallurgical
recoveries, assumed metal prices and smelter terms, which
include payable factors, treatment charges, penalties, and
refining charges. Metal price assumptions were: US$1.15/lb
Zn, US$300/kg In, US$15/oz Ag, and US$1.00/lb Pb. Metal
recovery assumptions were: 90% Zn, 75% In, 60% Ag, and
75% Pb. The NSR value for each block was calculated using
the following NSR factors: US$15.34 per % Zn, US$4.70 per %
Pb, US$0.18 per gram In, and US$0.22 per gram Ag.
• The NSR value was calculated using the following formula:
NSR = [Zn(%)*US$15.34+Pb(%)*US$4.70+
In(g/t)*US$0.18+Ag(g/t)*US$0.22]
• The ZnEq value was calculated using the following formula:
ZnEq = NSR/US$15.34
• Numbers may not add due to rounding.
• “Inferred Mineral Resources” have a great amount of
uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and
legal feasibility. It is reasonably expected that the majority of
Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated
Mineral Resources with continued exploration. United States
investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of
Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be
converted into Mineral Reserves. United States investors are
also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred
Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally
mineable.

Most of the current, known zinc and tin mineralization occurs along a 5 km long magnetic anomaly
Zinc is not magnetic, so additional mineralization may be hidden under sandstone cover
170km2 Ayawilca property has numerous untested target areas
2019 Drill Program – Underway
19
Drilling to commenced April 2019
Exploration drilling will target repeats of the mineralized limestone beneath the current zinc resources at West and South Ayawilca
Up to 10,000 metres of drilling, at least six holes planned to an average depth of ~600 metres
Most holes are ‘dual purpose’ to first infill the current resource

Tin Resources at Ayawilca Nov. 2018
Believed to be the largest tin resource in Peru outside of Minsur’s San Rafael project
Cassiterite is the main mineral, fine-grained, requires additional metallurgical testing
Tin is currently trading at over US$9/lb, approximately 7 times the value of zinc
Tin is primarily used in tin plated steel, chemicals, solder, and alloys, with increasing use in technology and electric vehicles
