- G11-3552-18 (a 50m step-out to the NNW from G11-3552-16) intersected:
- 36.6m of 6.4% Zn+Pb (4.8% Zn and 1.6% Pb) and 26 g/t Ag (starting from 226.9m downhole) including:
- 11.8m of 11.6% Zn+Pb (8.0% Zn and 3.5% Pb) and 48 g/t Ag, including:
- 4.0m of 19.8% Zn+Pb (11.4% Zn and 8.4% Pb) and 104 g/t Ag
- Provides additional evidence that mineralizing system at Ballywire is gaining strength to northeast with the emergence of a relatively flat-lying zone of zinc-rich massive sulphide lenses located at the base of the Waulsortian Limestone and extending at least 360m along strike (open)
- Zone is pierced by today's intercept, as well as the following three previously released holes:
- G11-3552-12: 29.6m of 10.6% Zn+Pb and 78 g/t Ag (Group Eleven's best intercept to date; released 11-Jun-2024)
- G11-3552-13: 6.1m of 11.4% Zn+Pb and 85 g/t Ag (released 01-Aug-24) and
- G11-3552-17: several massive sulphide zones including 4.9m of 9.7% Zn+Pb and 39 g/t Ag; and 4.2m of 15% Zn+Pb and 34 g/t Ag (released 24-Sep-2024)
- Above mineralization is contained within a 2.6km long northeasterly trend of significantly mineralized drill intercepts, and within an overall 6km long prospective trend, also northeasterly, defined by four gravity-high anomalies along the Waulsortian Limestone
- Two-rig drill program at Ballywire continues on schedule with the next assay results expected over the coming few weeks
"Our recent drilling at Ballywire has intersected continuous, flat-lying, zinc-rich massive sulphide lenses at the base of the Waulsortian limestone, an important development that further aligns the project with classic Irish-type zinc deposits," stated Bart Jaworski, CEO. "We have hit these massive sulphides over an open 360 metres of strike and mineralization appears to be widening, intensifying and getting shallower as we move northeast."
"Our immediate priority is to further delineate this new, flat-lying, massive sulphide zone, while we also aim to grow the broader 2.6km footprint of the discovery and follow up on silver and copper potential beneath the zinc and lead rich horizons. Our drill program continues with two rigs and further drill results will be released over the coming weeks as we continue to explore Ballywire's 6km long prospective trend."

Recent Hole 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 36 holes drilled and reported by Group Eleven to date, the most recent step-out hole (G11-3552-18) of the 2024 program is reported today (see Exhibits 1 to 6).

High-grade mineralization from G11-3552-18 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).
Overall, recent drilling suggests the emergence of two distinct styles of mineralization. First, relatively flat-lying zinc-rich massive sulphide lenses and second, 'other mineralization', predominantly observed over the last two years and dominated by variably dipping massive sulphides, as well as, vein-hosted and disseminated mineralization (see Exhibit 2). Both styles occur at or near the base of the Waulsortian Limestone and offer great exploration opportunities as drilling progresses.

Looking forward, five drill holes (G11-3552-19 to -23; see Exhibit 4) have recently been completed with assay results expected over the coming weeks. Additionally, two other holes (-24 and -25) are in-progress, located northeast of G11-3552-18 and northeast of G11-3552-19, respectively. Exhibit 4 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).
