VANCOUVER, Aug. 4, 2011 /CNW/ - Tinka Resources Limited (the 'Company'), (TSXV - TK; Frankfurt - TLD;
Pinksheets -TKRFF).  The Company advises that diamond drilling is continuing at its
Colquipucro silver project, west-central Peru. The fourth hole, of a
planned program of ten holes at the Ayawilca zone was commenced this
week.

All core is being logged and split on site under the supervision of
Tinka geologists, with sampling done on two metre intervals, and
samples are being transported by company staff to the laboratory in
Lima, Peru. Analytical standards and blanks are routinely introduced in
the sample suites sent to the laboratory. Results will be released once
they have been received and reviewed.

Following the completion of drilling at the Ayawilca zone, the drill rig
will be moved to Zone 1 to test the northern extension of the NI43-101
compliant resource.

At Tibillos, the Company´s copper porphyry project south of Lima, work
is commencing on the preparation of access roads, pads and
accommodation. Due the lack of availability of reverse circulation
drill rigs, the first six of the eighteen permitted holes at Tibillos
will be completed using a diamond drill. Drilling will commence as soon
as the construction work is completed.

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