This presentation does not constitute or form a part of, and should not be construed as an offer, solicitation or invitation to subscribe for, underwrite or otherwise acquire, any securities of Tinka, nor shall it or any part of it form the basis of or be relied on in connection with any contract or commitment whatsoever.

Certain information in this presentation contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively "forward-looking statements"). All statements, other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs and expectations of Tinka as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to Tinka's management. Such statements reflect the current risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to certain factors including but not limited to, all costs varying significantly from estimates, production rates varying from estimates, changes in metal markets, changes in equity markets, availability and costs of financing needed in the future, equipment failure, unexpected geological conditions, imprecision in resource estimates or metal recoveries, ability to complete future drilling programs, drilling program results varying from expectations, delays in obtaining survey results, success of future development initiatives, the completion and implementation of a preliminary economic assessment, pre-feasibility or feasibility studies, competition, operating performance, environmental and safety risks, delays in obtaining or failure to obtain necessary permits and approvals from local authorities, community relations, timing and completion of any surface rights agreements, and other development and operating risks. Should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein. Although Tinka believes that assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. Except as may be required by applicable securities laws, Tinka disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

The Mineral Resources disclosed in this company presentation have been estimated by Mrs. Dorota El Rassi, P.Eng., and Mr. David Ross, P.Geo., both employees of Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (RPA) and independent of Tinka. The Mineral Resources were publicly released on November 26, 2018. By virtue of their education and relevant experience, Mrs. El Rassi and Mr. David Ross are "Qualified Persons" for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101. The Mineral Resources have been classified in accordance with CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (May, 2014). Readers are encouraged to read the Company’s technical report in their entirety.

The preliminary economic assessment (PEA) is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

This presentation has been prepared, reviewed and verified by Dr. Graham Carman, Tinka’s President and CEO and a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101. 2

Ayawilca

Peru AYAWILCA ZINC ZONE - Preliminary Economic Assessment - July 2019

o Underground mine for zinc (silver, lead) with throughput of 5,000 t/day

o Modest initial Capex US$262M, Payback period of 3.5 years after-tax (2.3 years pre-tax)

o After-tax NPV8% of US$363M with IRR of 27.1% (Pre-tax NPV8% of $609M with 37.2% IRR) using $1.20/lb Zn, $0.95/lb Pb, $18/lb Ag, and $65/t NSR cut-off

o Average production of 200,000 t zinc con / year (PERU TOP 5) and 0.9 Moz silver / year

o Strongly leveraged to zinc grade and price

o Attractive project in good jurisdiction with infrastructure in place (power, water, road)

Next Steps

o Focus is back on exploration: opportunities for higher zinc grades at South area

o Other drill targets also at depth (incl. limestone repetitions), plus other areas

o Pursue opportunities identified in PEA to further enhance project value

Share price has retraced to 2016 levels

o Market responded positively to drill results and new discoveries in 2017, zinc prices were rising

o Zinc prices declined in 2018 - TK share price suffered along with other zinc juniors despite strong drill results

o Post-PEA there has been a misconception that exploration is done (not the case)

o Price to net asset value (P/NAV) based on PEA for TK is 0.24 - one of lowest valuations of any zinc developers (source: GMP Securities)

Zinc market – the upcoming supply gap o China is the dominant miner and user of zinc, and Chinese zinc mines are struggling

o Zinc grades in Chinese mines are declining (av. 3.5% Zn); only one major Chinese project in pipeline

o Upcoming zinc supply gap predicted - 1.7 Mt by 2024 (~10% world supply) at base demand (Teck)

o Fundamentals for zinc are actually strong – low inventories, few new zinc projects in pipeline

o Ayawilca can be one of the new long-life projects to fill this upcoming supply gap

2019 PEA - Leveraged to zinc grade & price o ~ 90% of value in the PEA is zinc, ~10% of value is silver with minor lead

o PEA is most sensitive to zinc grade (and zinc price)

o Increasing feed grade by 20% LOM adds over US$200M to after-tax NPV in PEA

o Effects of Opex, Capex, silver price, are much less significant

o Tinka has successfully grown the Ayawilca zinc resource year on year

o Further potential exists to grow the resource quality, tonnage and grade

o Tinka will aim to upgrade resources again, subject to 2019 drilling results

2019 Exploration – Targeting high grade zinc

Near term catalysts:

o Optimisation of zinc grade at South Ayawilca

o Recent drilling highlights potential – see new release July 29th 2019

o Drilling continues targeting high-grade resources especially at shallow depth – higher grade in early years of mine life has a major impact on value

South Ayawilca: Highest grade, shallowest, thickest part of Ayawilca Zn deposit

Next Steps: Exploration is continuing 2019-2020:

• Drilling is targeting additional high grade zinc zones at South (current and ongoing)

• More drill results expected August through October 2019

• Possible resource update in 2020 (subject to drill results)

2020-2021:

• PFS - Applications now filed for infill drill permits, expected late 2019

• Decision to be taken pending drill results in 2019
