- Tinka Resources to exit Lima Stock Exchange
- Shares remain active on TSX Venture and OTCQB
- Ayawilca project continues as central development asset
Tinka Resources (TSX-V:TK), a zinc-focused exploration and development company, has announced its voluntary delisting from the Bolsa de Valores de Lima (BVL), commonly known as the Lima Stock Exchange. The decision reflects a strategic move to streamline the company’s listing footprint while maintaining its primary trading presence in Canada and the United States.
The Lima Stock Exchange, headquartered in Peru’s capital, serves as the country’s official platform for securities trading. Tinka Resources stated that the delisting process is expected to be completed within 60 business days. During this transition, the company’s shares will remain fully tradable on the TSX Venture Exchange and OTCQB, ensuring uninterrupted access for current and prospective investors in North America.
Previously, a Lima-based brokerage acted as Tinka’s sponsor on the BVL, a requirement for maintaining the listing on the Peruvian exchange. With this sponsorship no longer in place, the delisting decision aligns with the company’s revised strategy and market focus.
Despite this change, Tinka Resources (TSX-V:TK) continues to push forward with its flagship asset, the Ayawilca zinc-silver-tin project located in central Peru. Ayawilca remains one of the most significant zinc development projects in the region. The project boasts a substantial mineral resource base, including an indicated resource of 28.3 million tonnes grading 5.82% zinc, 16.4 grams per tonne (g/t) silver, and 91 g/t indium, as well as an inferred resource of 31.2 million tonnes at 4.21% zinc and 14.5 g/t silver.
The decision to delist from the Lima Stock Exchange appears to signal a greater emphasis on the company’s core exploration and development activities rather than maintaining multiple listings across jurisdictions. While the BVL presence offered visibility in the local Peruvian market, the continued focus on TSX Venture and OTCQB listings ensures that Tinka remains accessible to a wider global investor base.
As development progresses at Ayawilca, Tinka Resources remains centered on unlocking value from its robust asset portfolio, with an eye on long-term growth within the global base metals sector.
