VANCOUVER, Jan. 24, 2019 /CNW/ - Group Eleven Resources
Corp. (TSX.V: ZNG; OTCQB: GRLVF; FRA: 3GE) ("Group Eleven"
or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its
ongoing exploration drill program at the Stonepark zinc-lead
project ("Stonepark"; 76.56% interest) and the adjacent PG West
project ("PG West"; 100% interest) in the Limerick region of the
Republic of Ireland. Stonepark is
a joint venture with Connemara Mining Company plc (23.44%
interest). The primary aim of this preliminary drill program is to
advance the Company's ongoing 'Big Think' exploration strategy by
providing important 3D geological information for a new evolving
exploration model in preparation of the Company's 'Big Drill'
exploration program later this year.
Highlights:
- Drilling continues on schedule with analysis and interpretation
expected by the end of Q1 2019
- A fifth hole (to be drilled on PG West) has been added to the
campaign (the original four holes are located at Stonepark); total
meterage is now expected to be 2,300 metres (from previous guidance
of 1,500-2,000 metres)
- The Tellus Airborne Geophysics Survey over the Limerick
and Silvermines Basins is now 81% complete with flying to be
completed by March or April, depending on weather; data is expected
to be publicly released in Q2/Q3
- An updated NI 43-101 technical report on the Ballinalack
project incorporating the current resource (see news release dated
November 28, 2018) was published on
SEDAR on January 14th,
2019
"We are pleased with the progress on our exploration program
thus far and look forward to updating the market over the next
several weeks when the remainder of our expanded drill program is
completed" stated Bart Jaworski,
CEO. "We are also looking forward to combining this preliminary
drilling with Tellus airborne data to identify strong targets ahead
of our 'Big Drill' campaign in this highly prospective region. The
Limerick basin already hosts the second largest deposit in
Ireland – Glencore's Pallas Green
zinc deposit1 – and our adjacent Stonepark
deposit2."
What is 'Big Think'? Group Eleven's 'Big Think'
exploration is an open-minded and methodical search for tier-one
zinc deposits in the Irish Zinc District through comprehensive
re-evaluation of over 70 years of exploration data combined with
cutting edge geophysical and geochemical techniques. The Company
believes no other zinc-focused junior or major company is currently
exploring on such a broad and deep scale in Ireland. Please see the Company's 'Q&A'
discussion on the 'Big Think' for further information. For more
information on the Tellus survey, see news release dated
September 27th, 2018. Maps
