VANCOUVER, BC, July 25,
2023 /CNW/ - Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSXV: ZNG)
(OTC: GRLVF) (FRA: 3GE) ("Group Eleven" or the
"Company") is pleased to provide a drill progress update and
announce the addition of a second drill rig at the Ballywire
Zn-Pb-Ag-Ge discovery ("Ballywire"), PG West Project ("PG
West", 100%-interest), Ireland.
Drill Update at
Ballywire:
- Two drill holes have been completed (G11-468-09 and
-12), totalling 375m and 323m, respectively; results are to be announced
over the coming weeks upon completion of assays expected in due
course
- G11-468-09 was a 375m
continuation (to a total depth of 546m) of a previous hole drilled by Group Eleven,
which had been stopped at 171m (see
news release dated 21-Jun-2023)
- G11-468-12 was an 80m
step-out to the east (along strike) of G11-468-06 (which
intersected 6.0m of 8.6% Zn and
3.8% Pb, or 12.4% Zn+Pb, and 68 g/t Ag; see news release dated
02-Mar-2023)
- Two drill rigs are now in operation, with the second rig
added last week
- The Company is currently drilling hole G11-468-13
(stepping 50m north and up-dip of
G11-468-12) and G11-3552-02 (stepping 150m south and downdip of G11-468-12)
- Results from the above holes will be released in due
course
"We are pleased that drilling is now operational with two rigs
at Ballywire," stated Bart Jaworski,
CEO. "This accelerated phase of drilling should be instrumental in
helping us determine the location and extent of the postulated and
yet undiscovered centre of the mineralizing system, hypothesized to
host the thickest and highest-grading mineralization."
Ballywire Zn-Pb-Ag-Ge Discovery,
PG West Project (100% Interest), Ireland
The Ballywire discovery is located in the south-eastern portion
of the Company's 100%-owned PG West Project, Republic of Ireland. PG West, including the
nearby Tullacondra prospect, comprises 22 prospecting licenses
covering 650 square kilometres and is contiguous with the Company's
Stonepark project (six prospecting licenses covering 184 square
kilometres; 76.56% interest), covering additional prospective
stratigraphy in the Limerick region. Ballywire is located approx.
20 kilometres south-east of Glencore's Pallas Green
deposit1 and approx. 50 kilometres south-west of
the historic Lisheen zinc mine (closed in 2015). Geologically,
Ballywire is situated at the intersection of the south-westerly
projection of the Rathdowney Trend (which hosts the past-producing
Lisheen and Galmoy zinc mines) and the Pallas Green Corridor.
Historic drilling at the Ballywire prospect was sparse, last being
worked by operators in 2008. Group Eleven staked the prospect in
2016 based on compelling results from the two most-recent historic
holes. Group Eleven announced its discovery hole (G11-468-03) on
06-Sep-2022. Recently completed and ongoing drilling described
above is shown in Exhibit 1 below.
