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 RPA and independent of Tinka. The Zinc/Tin Mineral Resources were publicly released on November 26, 2018,

while the Silver Resources were released on Feb 26, 2015. 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.

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

Mineral Resources at Nov. 26, 2018:

Zinc Zone –11.7 Mt Indicated @ 8.1% zinc equivalent (ZnEq)* &

45.0 Mt Inferred @ 6.7% zinc equivalent

Tin Zone – 14.5 Mt Inferred @ 0.70% tin equivalent (SnEq)*

Exploration drilling to begin May 2019 after wet season

PEA underway with results anticipated by mid 2019

Highly experienced team of mine finders with Peru expertise

Strong institutional investor base

Solid balance sheet with C$14M cash and no debt (Sep. 30/18)

Notes:

• CIM definitions were followed for Mineral Resources.

• Mineral Resources are reported above a cut-off NSR value

of US$55 per tonne.

• The NSR value was based on estimated metallurgical

recoveries, assumed metal prices and smelter terms, which

include payable factors, treatment charges, penalties, and

refining charges. Metal price assumptions were: US$1.15/lb

Zn, US$300/kg In, US$15/oz Ag, and US$1.00/lb Pb. Metal

recovery assumptions were: 90% Zn, 75% In, 60% Ag, and

75% Pb. The NSR value for each block was calculated

using the following NSR factors: US$15.34 per % Zn,

US$4.70 per % Pb, US$0.18 per gram In, and US$0.22 per

gram Ag.

• The NSR value was calculated using the following formula:

NSR = [Zn(%)*US$15.34+Pb(%)*US$4.70+

In(g/t)*US$0.18+Ag(g/t)*US$0.22]

• The ZnEq value was calculated using the following formula:

ZnEq = NSR/US$15.34

• Numbers may not add due to rounding.

• “Inferred Mineral Resources” have a great amount of

uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic

and legal feasibility. It is reasonably expected that the

majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to

Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.

United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all

or any part of Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources will

ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. United States

investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any

part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is

economically or legally mineable.

Tin Resources Nov. 2018

Ayawilca contains a substantial tin resource – believed to be the largest tin

resource in Peru outside of Minsur’s San Rafael project

Tin is currently trading at US$8.95/lb, approximately 7.7x the value of zinc

Tin is primarily used in tin plated steel, chemicals, solder, and alloys, but with

increasing use in high tech and electric vehicles

Notes:

• CIM definitions were followed for Mineral Resources.

• Mineral Resources are reported above a cut-off grade of US$55 per tonne NSR value.

• The NSR grade was based on estimated metallurgical recoveries, assumed metal prices and smelter

terms, which include payable factors, treatment charges, penalties, and refining charges. Metal price

assumptions were: US$9.00/lb Sn, US$2.85/lb Cu, and US$15/oz Ag. Metal recovery assumptions were:

86% Sn, 75% Cu, and 60% Ag. The NSR value for each block was calculated using the following NSR

factors: US$155.21 per % Sn, US$37.59 per % Cu, and US$0.22 per gram Ag.

• The NSR value was calculated using the following formula:

US$NSR = [Sn(%)*US$155.21+Cu(%)*US$37.59+Ag(g/t)*US$0.22

• The ZnEq value was calculated using the following formula: SnEq = NSR/US$155.21

• Numbers may not add due to rounding.

• “Inferred Mineral Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their

economic and legal feasibility. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources

could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration. United States investors

are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be

converted into Mineral Reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or

(10,000 m budgeted) to test new targets at Ayawilca

Catalysts and Valuation

Maiden PEA by mid 2019

– initial economic assessment for a zinc mine at Ayawilca

Exploration upside

– additional drilling in 2019 to test additional zinc targets

Strategic interest

– Ayawilca is the only large zinc deposit in the hands of a junior

Low valuation – At current market cap Tinka is valued at US$0.007 / ZnEq lb

– Cf. Arizona Mining bought at US$0.05 /ZnEq lb for US$1.6B in 2018

Why Tinka?

Ayawilca is one of the largest discoveries in Peru in last 20 years

Massive zinc leverage – 2018 resource contains1.8 billion pounds Zn

Indicated plus 5.6 billion pounds Zn Inferred

Multi-commodity exposure – zinc, tin, indium, silver

PEA results mid 2019; Drilling Q2-Q3 2019

Well positioned to be next large zinc development project

Upside – trading at less than 1% of in-ground value

C$14M in cash (Sep. 2018) sufficient to keep project moving forward
