en.Wedoany.com Reported - Tinka Resources plans to commence a magnetotelluric (MT) geophysical survey over an area of approximately 4 square kilometers at the Silvia project in Peru by the end of May 2026, aimed at identifying deep-seated zones associated with copper-gold mineralization. The survey will cover various skarn and porphyry targets, including both previously drilled areas and unexplored new blocks.
The company stated that initial drill results obtained in 2025 have already shown positive signs of copper-gold mineralization, and the current drilling equipment remains readily available to undertake new drilling campaigns upon completion of the geophysical survey.
Meanwhile, Tinka Resources is steadily advancing the Ayawilca project and has updated the deposit's 3D geological and structural model to prioritize new drill targets in high-grade zinc-silver zones. The company plans to launch a drilling program of approximately 5,000 meters in the third quarter of 2026, focusing on expanding the resource base and upgrading exploration areas to more reliable resource categories.
Furthermore, the company highlighted the potential of the Colquipucro silver deposit, located near Ayawilca, which is being re-evaluated due to rising international silver prices and may be incorporated into future resource updates and economic studies. Tinka Resources also disclosed that it is in negotiations with local communities to extend the social agreement related to the Ayawilca project for three years, ensuring the continuation of planned exploration activities.
The company also noted the new discovery of silver-rich veins west of Ayawilca, which have been incorporated into the project's geological model as priority targets due to their high-grade mineralization potential and relatively shallow depth.
