ZNG Group Eleven Resources Corp

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 11, 2024 /CNW/ - Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSXV: ZNG) (OTCBB: GRLVF) (FRA: 3GE) ("Group Eleven" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a two-rig drill program has begun at the Company's 100%-owned Ballywire zinc-lead-silver discovery ("Ballywire"), PG West Project ("PG West"), Republic of Ireland.

• Two drill rigs have been mobilized to Ballywire with drilling to commence over the next few days
• Drilling will focus on the gravity-high anomalies along strike from the discovery area at Ballywire (see news release dated Nov 21, 2023 for more information), spanning a strike-length of approximately 2.9km
• Drilling is planned to also include step-outs from recently reported high-grade intersections

"We are excited to hit the ground running and kick-off the 2024 drill program at Ballywire," stated Bart Jaworski, CEO. "Building off the success at Ballywire last year, we are about to test key target areas which have a geophysical signature similar to that of the discovery area. The strike-length of high-grade mineralization drilled to date recently increased by 29% or 160m from 550m to 710m. Including a massive sulphide intercept from 1997, we now have 1.7 kilometres of strike-length over which robust mineralization has been intercepted. The current phase of drilling aims to test gravity-high anomalies on either side of the discovery area, over a distance of 2.9 kilometres. Additionally, we have a further two gravity-high anomalies, also untested, giving us a total prospective trend of about 6 kilometres."

Ballywire is located in the SE portion of the Company's 100%-owned PG West Project, Republic of Ireland. PG West, including the nearby Tullacondra prospect, covers an area of 650km² and is contiguous with the Company's Stonepark project (covering 184km²; 76.56% interest). Ballywire is located approximately 20km SE of Glencore's Pallas Green deposit¹ and approximately 50km SW of the historic Lisheen zinc mine (closed in 2015).

Geologically, Ballywire is situated at the intersection of the SW projection of the Rathdowney Trend, hosting the past-producing Lisheen and Galmoy zinc mines, and the Pallas Green Corridor, which hosts the undeveloped Pallas Green deposit¹. Historic drilling at the Ballywire prospect was sparse, last being worked by operators in 2008. Group Eleven staked the prospect in 2016 and announced the discovery in September 2022.
