Heenan Mallard and Dorothy Project Overview

Heenan Mallard is located on the Ridout Deformation Zone bordering Iamgold's Côté Gold claim package and is approximately 25 km west of the soon to be producing Côté Gold mine (see map).

Historical drilling completed by Noranda (Corstorphine 1985, Assessment File 41009NW003 63.5188) on Mallard's River and Camp zones led to an initial discovery (14 holes only) and it is Goldco's intention to drill follow up on those results.

The property is located on a large magnetic anomaly associated with the Woman Lake Iron formation and other magnetic lithologies on the SE corner of the Swayze greenstone belt. The "Swayze magnetic anomaly" shows signs of hydrothermal alteration, which, combined with the associated gold mineralization at Heenan Mallard, makes the property a very attractive gold target.

Drilling returned several high-grade near-surface intercepts, including 5.04 g/t Au over 3.69 m core length (BE-85-1), 5.31 g/t Au over 3.82 m core length (BE-85-6), 3.50 g/t Au over 2.80 m core length and 6.62 g/t Au over 1.82 m core length (BE-85-3).

Prospecting, geological mapping, soil sampling, and geophysical surveys carried out by Fancamp at Heenan Mallard in 2019-2020 have generated multiple targets in other sections of the project. Of these, the two most highest priority gold targets identified currently for follow up drilling are an undrilled gold showing at Heenan that is coincident with an IP anomaly and an undrilled zone along the Ridout shear at Mallard with a coincident soil and IP anomalies.

There are other gold zones on the property, including an area previously drilled by Fancamp to be revisited since it has returned anomalous gold values up to 6.32 g/t hosted by strongly altered metasedimentary rocks (Ciesielski 2021, Assessment File 20000019548). This area presents a broad zone of strong pervasive silicification and quartz veining.

Dorothy   Project:

The Dorothy property is a grassroots project that was staked to cover four anomalous lake sediment anomalies reported in 2006 OGS's high-density Lake sediment survey. The property appears to be situated on a parallel geological structure 15 km east of the Manitou Straits deformation zone's, which hosts the historical Gold Rock Mining Camp and borders Dynasty's Thundercloud gold discovery.

*Gold values and core lengths are converted from imperial unit troy ounce/t and core lengths in feet to metric units g/t and metre, respectively.

Advisors

The Company engaged Canaccord Genuity to assist as an advisory of the transaction and the Offering.

Other Transaction details:

  • Fancamp will be granted anti-dilution rights to participate in future Platinex equity financings to purchase up to its proportionate share of such Shares for terms at least as favorable to Fancamp as to price and upon the terms provided to other subscribers in such financings
  • In addition, Fancamp has agreed to vote for management or withhold from voting while the Option is effective
  • Fancamp is also restricted from acquiring more than 9.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Platinex (excluding the exercise of warrants held by Fancamp)

Group Eleven Intersects 15.6m of 11.6% Zn+Pb, 122 g/t Ag and 0.19% Cu, incl. 3.5m of 21.3% Zn+Pb, 395 g/t Ag and 0.73% Cu at Ballywire; Silver and Copper Values Continue to Impress

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

Highlights:

  • G11-3552-27 intersected (from 213.0m):
    • 24.8m of 8.1% Zn+Pb (5.8% Zn and 2.3% Pb), 80 g/t Ag and 0.12% Cu, including
    • 15.6m of 11.6% Zn+Pb (8.3% Zn and 3.3% Pb), 122 g/t Ag and 0.19% Cu, including
    • 6.6m of 16.7% Zn+Pb (11.1% Zn and 5.7% Pb), 240 g/t Ag and 0.42% Cu, including
    • 3.5m of 21.3% Zn+Pb (13.3% Zn and 8.0% Pb), 395 g/t Ag and 0.73% Cu
    • Located in middle of 270m gap between two previously released drill fences
  • G11-3552-25 intersected (from 187.2m):
    • 16.2m of 2.8% Zn+Pb (2.1% Zn and 0.7% Pb) and 8 g/t Ag, including
    • 4.6m of 7.4% Zn+Pb (5.6% Zn and 1.8% Pb) and 21 g/t Ag, including
    • 1.9m of 12.9% Zn+Pb (9.6% Zn and 3.3% Pb) and 39 g/t Ag
    • Located 50m NNW from G11-3552-27
  • Above results confirm the extent of the recently announced flat-lying zone of zinc-rich massive sulphide lenses at least 360m along strike and remaining open to the NE
  • Massive sulphide zone is pierced by G11-3552-27 and seven previously released holes, of which three are referenced below:
    • G11-3552-12: 29.6m of 10.6% Zn+Pb and 78 g/t Ag (released 11-Jun-24)
    • G11-3552-18: 11.8m of 11.6% Zn+Pb and 48 g/t Ag (released 22-Oct-24)
    • G11-3552-19: 15.3m of 14.5% Zn+Pb and 56 g/t Ag (released 14-Nov-24)
  • Drilling continues at Ballywire with two rigs testing further down-dip of the two holes released today, plus the NE extension; assay results are expected in due course

"It is great to see the NE massive sulphide zone now consistently intersected by eight high-grade holes over a strike length of 360m and open to the NE," stated Bart Jaworski, CEO. "Excellent silver and significant copper values are also noteworthy because they increasingly point to a stratigraphically deeper horizon known to be highly prospective for copper and silver in this part of Ireland. Namely, the Gortdrum Cu-Ag mine, active in the 1960s and 70s, is located 10km NE of Ballywire, whereas, the Denison and Tullacondra Cu-Ag historic occurrences are 5km SE and 45km SW of Ballywire, respectively. A deeper Cu-Ag horizon at Ballywire is one of our key targets for 2025.

Our two other key targets include: (i) exploration drilling along strike from the drilled 2.6km-long discovery area towards the encompassing 6km long prospective trend and (ii) up and down dip from the discovery trend in search of parallel zones of mineralization. We eagerly await results from drilling down dip of today's results and along the NE extension."

Recent Holes from Ballywire Discovery

The Ballywire prospect at the Company's 100%-owned PG West Project in Republic of Ireland, is a relatively new zinc-lead-silver discovery (first announced Sept-2022). In addition to 42 holes drilled and reported by Group Eleven to date, the most recent two holes (G11-3552-25 to -27) are reported today (see Exhibits 1 to 6). Note, a second batch of assays totalling over 50m within G11-3552-27 is still pending.

High-grade mineralization from G11-3552-25 and -27 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).

Note: True width of the overall mineralized package in all holes above is estimated at approx. 90-100% of the intersected interval

Overall, recent drilling suggests the emergence of two distinct styles of mineralization. First, relatively flat-lying zinc-rich massive sulphide lenses and second, 'other high-grade mineralization', dominated by variably dipping massive sulphides, as well as, vein-hosted and disseminated mineralization (see Exhibits 1-3). Both styles occur at or near the base of the Waulsortian Limestone and offer great exploration opportunities as drilling progresses.

Looking forward, seven (7) drill holes (G11-3552-24, -26, -28 and 29 to -32; see Exhibit 3) are in progress with results expected in due course. Exhibit 3 shows drilling to date across 1.25km of the overall 2.6km long trend (see Exhibit 2) of significantly mineralized drill intercepts (open in all directions). This in turn is hosted within a 6km long prospective trend defined by four gravity high anomalies, only one of which (anomaly 'C') is systematically drilled to date (see Exhibit 5).
