THE CRITICAL INVESTOR

Dear subscriber,

The last set of drill results didn't really increase my estimates for tonnage on Ayawilca, but they provided management with further clues where eventually more mineralization might hide below surface. Drilling will ramp up soon to more rigs as the rainy season is about to end in Peru, and from then on a steady stream of new results can be expected. However, something that was unexpected was the selling advice on Tinka at the end of last week. This was issued by a US newsletter writer named Matt Badiali, noticed by an influential blog which condemned it, but already having quite an effect on the stock. This was something I (or Tinka management) didn't know when this article was first published (on Streetwise Reports), but the weird part was at the same time, that the bulk of the selling all happened within 40 minutes and all selling appeared to be executed by "Anonymous". One would expect that US newsletter audiences would have a pretty wide variety of brokers to say the least. Either way, in my view this represents a genuine buying opportunity as fundamentals haven't changed. Read more about Tinka here:
