in 50m Step Out from Best Hole at Ballywire
Vancouver, Canada, August 1, 2024 - Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSX-V: ZNG; OTCBB: GRLVF; FRA:
3GE) (“Group Eleven” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce results from the two most recent
step-out holes of the 202 4 drill program at the Company’s 100% -owned Ballywire zinc -lead-silver
discovery (“Ballywire”), PG West Project (“PG West”), Republic of Ireland.
Highlights
• 50m step-out (hole G11-3552-13) up-dip from best intersection to date at Ballywire (29.6m of
10.6% Zn+Pb, 78 g/t Ag and 0.15% Cu in G11-3552-12, see news released dated 11 -Jun-24),
intersected a robust zone of 25.6m of 5.4% Zn+Pb (2.8% Zn and 2.6% Pb), 72 g/t Ag and 0.12%
Cu, from 271.9m down-hole, including:
o 6.1m of 11.4% Zn+Pb (4.1% Zn and 7.3% Pb) and 85 g/t Ag and
o 12.1m of 5.3% Zn+Pb (3.7% Zn and 1.7% Pb), 104 g/t Ag and 0.21% Cu, including
o 6.8m of 6.9% Zn+Pb (5.3% Zn and 1.7% Pb), 174 g/t Ag and 0.37% Cu, including
o 3.1m of 11.2% (8.6% Zn and 2.7% Pb), 353 g/t Ag and 0.78% Cu
• Above intercept represents one of the longe st extensions along dip of high-grade mineralization
at Ballywire to date
• Mineralization consists predominantly of massive and semi -massive sulphide, as well as
disseminated and vein hosted sulphide mineralization
• Further drilling is in-progress, with G11-3552-14 testing 50m to the north and up dip from G11 -
3552-13, and at gravity anomalies ‘B’ and ‘C2’ (results expected in the coming weeks)
“We are excited that the high-grade footprint of the Ballywire discovery continues to grow at a rapid
pace,” stated Bart Jaworski, CEO . “Today’s results expand high-grade zinc-lead-silver mineralization
along dip by 50m north from G11 -3552-12, our best hole drilled to date at Ballwire . It is also
encouraging to see high -grade silver and elevated copper. To date, w e have intersected robust
mineralization at Ballywire over a strike length of 2.6km, along a prospective trend of over 6km.
Together with continued robust intervals of massive sulphide, Ballywire is continuing to show signs of
a major zinc-lead-silver discovery. We look forward to providing further drill results over the coming
few weeks.”
Most Recent Two 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 29 holes drilled and reported by
Group Eleven to date, the most recent two step-out holes (G11-3552-13 and G11-468-16) of the 2024
program are reported today (see Exhibits 1 to 6).

Note: True width of the overall mineralized package above is estimated at approx. 90-100%, albeit, on a centimetre scale,
mineralization varies from bedding parallel massive sulphides to variably dipping veins, as well as, disseminated sulphides;

sub-Waulsortian mineralization is dominated by fracture -controlled veins; Waulsortian-hosted mineralization is dominated
by bedding parallel massive sulphides

Exhibit 4. New Drilling at Ballywire Discovery and Surrounding Area (2.6km Strike Length)

01 is approx. 200m

High-grade mineralization in G11 -3552-13 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).
Today’s drill results extend known high -grade massive sulphide mineralization by 50m up -dip from
G11-3552-12 (see Exhibits 1 and 2), which intersected 29.6m of 10.6% Zn+Pb, 78 g/t Ag and 0.15% Cu.
G11-3552-12 represents the strongest mineralization to date at Ballywire, adding to an already strong
set of previous intercepts (e.g. 11.2m of 8.9% Zn+Pb and 83 g/t Ag in G11-3552-03; and 10.8m of 10.0%
Zn+Pb and 109 g/t Ag in G11-468-03, etc; see Exhibit 3).
In addition to the above, Group Eleven drilled G11-468-16, extending known mineralization
approximately 200m to the southwest from the western edge of the discovery area (see Exhibit 4).
G11-468-16 returned anomalous mineralization along or near the base of the Waulsortian Limestone
(see Exhibit 4).
Group Eleven is currently in the process of drilling and/or has assays pending on four holes: (i) one
hole (G11-3552-14) testing 50m to the north and up dip from G11-3552-13 announced today; (ii) two
holes, approximately 90m and 360m ENE of G11-3552-13, near the ‘C2’ gravity high anomaly; and (iii)
a hole at the ‘B’ gravity anomaly (see Exhibit 3 and 4).

Tullacondra was first reported by Munster Base Metals Ltd in ‘Report on Mallow Property’ by David
Wilbur, dated December 1973; and later summarized in ‘Cu-Ag Mineralization at Tullacondra, Mallow,
Co. Cork’ by Wilbur and Carter in 1986; the above 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. ‘Rathdowney Trend’ is the south -
westerly projection of the Rathdowney Trend, hosting the historic Lisheen and Galmoy mines.
