Oct. 15 - Tinka Continues To Expand Zinc Mineralization And Discovers High-Grade Silver Veins At Ayawilca
"Completing a mineral resource update, expanding metallurgical test work, and advancing the project to a PEA in 2019. Tinka is well positioned financially with C$13 million in cash reserves at the end of September 2018 and no debt.” The property has already attracted interest from a number of large mining companies, and the Company has signed multiple confidentiality agreements and conducted several site visits.
The June 26th unprecedented drill results had a short-lived impact on valuation. Here's why - the zinc price was diving.
In addition, the insider sales were met with confusion until the subsequent announcement; exercise of options (July 9th). As the zinc price continued to drop, the (Aug 1st) drilling results was no contest. Thereafter, further pressure on zinc price coupled with the one on the TSX Venture contributed to a recent 52 week low of $0.30 cents.
Due to current market sentiments, TK.V is considered to be very attractive at the current levels. The recent drill results, the upcoming resource update, metallurgical work expansion, Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), and the $13M in cash reserves with no debt, are current indicators.
As such, we continue to believe that TK.V is very much still undervalued.
