Group Eleven Cuts 108.5m of Mineralization in Large Step-Out at Ballywire, Incl. 5.6m of 13% Zn+Pb, 116 g/t Ag; 4.2m of 15% Zn+Pb, 34 g/t Ag; and 4.9m of 10% Zn+Pb, 39 g/t Ag

Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSXV: ZNG) (OTC Pink: GRLVF) (FSE: 3GE) ("Group Eleven" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from the five most recent step-out holes of the 2024 drill program at the Company's 100%-owned Ballywire zinc-lead-silver discovery ("Ballywire"), PG West Project ("PG West"), Republic of Ireland.

Highlight Intersections

  • G11-3552-17 (a 360m step-out to the NE): 108.5m of 3.5% Zn+Pb (2.8% Zn and 0.7% Pb) and 25 g/t Ag (starting from 143m downhole), including:
    • 5.6m of 13.1% Zn+Pb (10.5% Zn and 2.6% Pb) and 116 g/t Ag and
    • 4.2m of 15.2% Zn+Pb (14.4% Zn and 0.8% Pb) and 34 g/t Ag and
    • 4.9m of 9.7% Zn+Pb (6.8% Zn and 2.8% Pb) and 39 g/t Ag and
    • 3.6m of 3.1% Zn+Pb (1.3% Zn and 1.8% Pb), 101 g/t Ag and 0.45% Cu
  • G11-3552-16 (a 100m step-out to the NE): 24.7m of 3.7% Zn+Pb (2.9% Zn and 0.7% Pb) and 12 g/t Ag (starting from 254m), including:
    • 7.4m of 9.1% Zn+Pb (7.4% Zn and 1.7% Pb) and 29 g/t Ag
  • G11-3552-15 (a 360m step-out to the NE): 36.7m of 2.9% Zn+Pb (1.6% Zn and 1.3% Pb) and 12 g/t Ag (starting from 236m), including:
    • 3.8m of 5.9% Zn+Pb (4.5% Zn and 1.4% Pb) and 17 g/t Ag and
    • 3.7m of 5.2% Zn+Pb (3.2% Zn and 2.0% Pb) and 13 g/t Ag and
    • 4.5m of 4.5% (1.9% Zn and 2.7% Pb) and 27 g/t Ag
  • Two-rig drill program at Ballywire continues on schedule with the next assay results expected over the coming few weeks (three holes are currently completed with assays pending)

"We are excited that the high-grade footprint of the Ballywire discovery has leapt forward again," stated Bart Jaworski, CEO. "Today's drill results extend known high-grade mineralization at Ballywire by 360m along strike from 890m to 1,250m, and provide compelling evidence that mineralization is intensifying towards the shallower, northeastern portion of the discovery area. The 108.5m intercept announced today is particularly notable given high-grade zones occur throughout the interval."

"Together with historic hole 97-468-2 and our larger step-outs earlier this year, robust mineralization pierced by drilling at Ballywire extends over 2.6km, along a prospective trend of over 6km. Given today's additional intervals of significant massive sulphide, Ballywire is again showing signs of a major zinc-lead-silver discovery. With two rigs turning, we look forward to providing further drill results over the coming few weeks."

Most Recent Five Holes from 2024 Drill Campaign at Ballywire Discovery

The Ballywire prospect at the Company's 100%-owned PG West Project in Republic of Ireland, is a new zinc-lead-silver discovery (first announced Sept-2022). In addition to 31 holes drilled and reported by Group Eleven to date, the most recent five (5) step-out holes (G11-3552-14, -15, -16, -17, and G11-2654-03) of the 2024 program are reported today (see Exhibits 1 to 6).

High-grade mineralization from the above drill holes consists predominantly of massive and semi-massive sulphide (sphalerite, galena, pyrite, chalcopyrite and suspected tennantite-tetrahedrite), as well as, disseminated and vein hosted sulphide mineralization. Mineralization occurs along and/or close to the base of the Waulsortian limestone (see Exhibit 1).

In addition to the above, G11-2654-03 (testing the 'B' gravity anomaly) extended known mineralization approximately 370m to the southwest from the southwestern edge of the discovery area (see Exhibit 2). The hole returned anomalous mineralization along or near the base of the Waulsortian Limestone. This information coupled with a growing set of structural (fault location) data (see Exhibit 2), suggest mineralization may be faulted southwards in this portion of the Ballywire prospect. Further drilling to the south is warranted and planned for future campaigns.

Group Eleven Drills Best Hole Yet at Ballywire: 39.7m of 9.5% Zn+Pb, 131 g/t Ag and 0.27% Cu, incl. 5.6m of 16.6% Zn+Pb, 370 g/t Ag and 0.86% Cu

Group Eleven Drills Best Hole Yet at Ballywire: 39.7m of 9.5% Zn+Pb, 131 g/t Ag and 0.27% Cu, incl. 5.6m of 16.6% Zn+Pb, 370 g/t Ag and 0.86% Cu

Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSXV: ZNG) (OTCQB: GRLVF) (FSE: 3GE) ("Group Eleven" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the latest step-out drill results from the Zn-Pb-Ag horizon at its Ballywire discovery ("Ballywire") at the 100%-owned PG West Project ("PG West"), Republic of Ireland. Drilling at Ballywire's deeper, Cu-Ag target is in progress (to be reported in due course).

Highlights:

  • 25-3552-35 (a 50m step-out to the NE from previous drilling, along the Zn-Pb-Ag horizon) intersected:
    • 53.9m of 7.9% Zn+Pb (4.7% Zn and 3.2% Pb), 99 g/t Ag and 0.20% Cu, including
    • 39.7m of 9.5% Zn+Pb (5.6% Zn and 3.9% Pb), 131 g/t Ag and 0.27% Cu, including
    • 18.3m of 16.1% Zn+Pb (8.9% Zn and 7.2% Pb), 233 g/t Ag and 0.42% Cu, including
    • 5.6m of 16.6% Zn+Pb (8.0% Zn and 8.5% Pb), 370 g/t Ag and 0.86% Cu
    • True thickness is estimated to be 90-100% of the intervals noted above and below
  • Three Cu-Ag enriched zones were also intersected below the above intercept in the same hole:
    • 5.5m of 3.2% Zn+Pb (0.9% Zn and 2.2% Pb), 209 g/t Ag and 0.49% Cu, including
      • 0.9m of 2.1% Zn+Pb (1.5% Zn and 0.6% Pb), 831 g/t Ag and 2.46% Cu and
    • 0.9m of 195 g/t Ag and 0.21% Cu and
    • 3.5m of 7.1% Zn+Pb (3.5% Zn and 3.6% Pb), 134 g/t Ag and 0.34% Cu, including
      • 0.9m of 3.5% Zn+Pb (0.5% Zn and 3.0% Pb), 224 g/t Ag and 0.63% Cu
  • These results extend the strike length of the immediate Ballywire discovery corridor from 1,250m to 1,300m, while demonstrating much thicker mineralization than previously encountered
  • This corridor is hosted within a larger 2.6km long trend of robust mineralization pierced by drilling at Ballywire to date, along a prospective trend of over 6km (defined by four regional gravity-high anomalies, only one of which has been systematically drill tested to date)
  • Today's elevated Cu-Ag values further substantiate the Company's 'deeper Cu-Ag' target (100-200m below the Zn-Pb-Ag horizon), currently being drill tested (second hole in progress)
  • Three rigs are turning at Ballywire with over 4,000m of drilling completed year-to-date; Group Eleven aims to complete 8,000-10,000m in 2025 (fully funded)

"Today's hole represents our thickest intercept yet at the Ballywire discovery, surpassing our 29.6 metres of 10.6% Zn+Pb, 78 g/t Ag and 0.15% Cu announced in June 2024," stated Bart Jaworski, CEO. "Not only does this intercept extend strike and show exceptional mineralized thickness but also demonstrates zones of strong copper-silver values. This adds to growing evidence suggesting a deeper Cu-Ag horizon one to two hundred metres below the main Ballywire discovery horizon. This deeper target is currently being drilled, with one hole finished and a second started. We look forward to releasing these results as soon as assays are available. With three rigs turning each on excellent targets at Ballywire and a recently announced strengthened cash position of C$4.3 million, Group Eleven is poised to keep generating shareholder value through the drill bit for the foreseeable future."

Ballywire Drill Update

The Ballywire prospect at the Company's 100%-owned PG West Project in Republic of Ireland, represents the most significant mineral discovery in Ireland in over a decade. First announced in Sept-2022, the discovery has 53 holes drilled and reported by Group Eleven to date, including the most recent hole (25-3552-35) reported today (see Exhibits 1 to 3).

Drilling at Ballywire continues with three rigs. Currently, eight (8) new holes are completed (and in the process of being logged, sampled and assayed). Six of these holes are shown in Exhibit 1, with two other holes near gravity-high anomaly 'D' (located 1.3km to the ENE). Recently strengthened financial position provides Group Eleven flexibility to either ramp-up drilling in 2025 and/or extend its runway for drilling well into 2026.

Assays from 25-3552-35 are summarized below (see Exhibit 3). Strong mineralization starts to occur within the Waulsortian Limestone at 120.6m downhole and continues intermittently until 187.9m, at which point, mineralization becomes more consistent through to near the base of the Waulsortian Limestone at 242.9m. Below the Waulsortian Limestone, several horizons of elevated copper-silver occur. Mineralization consists predominantly of sphalerite, galena and pyrite, with the copper-silver bearing zones also containing chalcopyrite and suspected tennantite-tetrahedrite.

Zinc Stocks: 4 Biggest Canadian Companies in 2025

The price of zinc was on the rise in 2024, but this year has been a different story. The metal's value has trended down for most of 2025 on the back of increased supply and weakening demand.

Many base metals have taken hit from lagging demand in recent years due to sticky inflation and higher interest rates, and zinc is no exception. Zinc supply has also faced pressure from higher mining and refining costs, causing some major zinc mines and smelters to suspend operations, with more possible if the current economic situation continues.

With its important role in the steel manufacturing process, the zinc market is heavily influenced by international trade. One area of support in the last few months has been turmoil caused by the US-China trade war and tariff threats .

Zinc Price Update: H1 2025 in Review

The zinc price declined for much of H1 as primary supply increased and construction sector demand slumped.

Primarily used to make galvanized steel destined for construction and manufacturing sectors, the zinc market has come under fire in recent years as inflation and interest rates have taken their toll.

The metal performed relatively well in 2024 as weak supply was offset by soft demand. However, as 2025 began, new threats to its performance emerged as the US began to look to tariffs to correct perceived trade imbalances.
