VANCOUVER, BC,
July 22, 2021 /CNW/ -
Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSXV: ZNG) (OTC: GRLVF) (FRA: 3GE)
("Group Eleven" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that mobilization has begun for exploration drilling at
Zones 3 and 4 of the Carrickittle zinc prospect
("Carrickittle") at its 100%-owned PG West project ("PG
West"), Ireland. In addition,
a ground magnetics survey at Carrickittle is nearing completion and
a second rig has been added to complete drilling at regional
prospects at PG West.
Highlights:
- Company's maiden drill program at Zones 3 and 4 commenced
yesterday with results expected to be released by Sep-Oct 2021
- As previously stated, drilling at Carrickittle is expected to
total an additional 2,700 metres as part of the Company's fully
funded 5,000-metre program for 2021
- A ground magnetics survey was completed over a 1.5 square
kilometre area north of and including Zones 1-4 at Carrickittle,
with results expected over the next few weeks
- A second drill rig has been added to complete drilling on
regional prospects at PG West (Croom, Denison, Ballywire and Oola)
with results expected over the coming weeks
"We are excited to start drilling at Zones 3 and 4 given this
part of Carrickittle hosts good evidence of prospectivity, namely
the largest known fault within the Carrickittle area, associated
intense dolomitization and several historic drill holes containing
not only zinc and lead, but also copper - which in Ireland, typically suggests proximity to
higher-grade zinc mineralization," stated Bart Jaworski, CEO. "Results from the current
drill campaign and the ground magnetics survey, should
significantly help us select the best drill targets as we start
drilling the 1 km extension to the north, later this year."
Exploration Update at 100%-Owned PG West Project,
Ireland
Mobilization commenced yesterday for drilling at Zones 3 and 4
of the Carrickittle prospect, PG West project in Ireland (see Exhibit 1). Several diamond drill
holes are planned as part of this phase, depending on drill
results. In addition, a ground magnetics survey (aimed at
identifying prospective faults) was carried out over a 1.5 square
kilometre area north of, and including, Zones 1-4 at Carrickittle.
Data from the survey is currently being processed, with results and
interpretations expected to be released over the next few weeks.
Drilling at Zones 3 and 4 plus the ground magnetics survey will be
used to select optimal targets within the 1 km northern extension
to be drilled later this year.
In order to complete remaining drilling at regional targets and
allow timely re-start of drilling at Carrickittle, the Company
added a second drill rig. Drilling at Croom and Ballywire has now
been completed with the last holes at Denison and Oola currently
underway. An update on these regional drill programs is expected
over the next few weeks, once assays are received and
interpretations are completed.

date of April 26, 2018, as found on
SEDAR; (c) the historic estimate at Denison was reported by
Westland Exploration Limited in 1988, the historic estimate at
Tullacondra was reported by Munster Base Metals Ltd in 1973 and the
historic estimate at Gortdrum was reported by G.M. Steed in 1986;
these three historic estimates have not been verified as current
mineral resources; none of the key assumptions, parameters and
methods used to prepare the historic estimates were reported and no
resource categories were used; significant data compilation,
re-drilling and data verification may be required by a Qualified
Person before the historic estimates can be verified and upgraded
to be compliant with current NI 43-101 standards; a Qualified
Person has not done sufficient work to classify them as a current
mineral resource and the Company is not treating the historic
estimates as current mineral resources.
