Group Eleven Provides Exploration Update on

Preliminary Drill Program and Airborne Geophysics

Survey at Stonepark Zinc-Lead Project in Ireland

Vancouver, Canada, January 24, 2019 – Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSX.V: ZNG; OTCQB:

GRLVF; FRA: 3GE) (“Group Eleven” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing

exploration drill program at the Stonepark zinc-lead project (“Stonepark”; 76.56% interest) and the

adjacent PG West project (“PG West”; 100% interest) in the Limerick region of the Republic of Ireland.

Stonepark is a joint venture with Connemara Mining Company plc (23.44% interest) . The primary aim

of this preliminary drill program is to advance the Company’s ongoing ‘Big Think’ exploration strategy

by providing important 3D geological information for a new evolving exploration model in preparation of

the Company’s ‘Big Drill’ exploration program later this year.

Highlights:

• Drilling continues on schedule with analysis and interpretation expected by the end of Q1 2019

• A fifth hole (to be drilled on PG West) has been added to the campaign (the original four holes are

located at Stonepark); total meterage is now expected to be 2,300 metres (from previous guidance

of 1,500-2,000 metres)

• The Tellus Airborne Geophysics Survey over the Limerick and Silvermines Basins is now 81%

complete with flying to be completed by March or April, depending on weather; data is expected to

be publicly released in Q2/Q3

• An updated NI 43-101 technical report on the Ballinalack project incorporating the current resource

(see news release dated November 28, 2018) was published on SEDAR on January 14th, 2019.

“We are pleased with the progress on our exploration program thus far and look forward to updating the

market over the next several weeks when the remainder of our expanded drill program is completed”

stated Bart Jaworski, CEO. “We are also looking forward to combining this preliminary drilling with Tellus

airborne data to identify strong targets ahead of our ‘Big Drill’ campaign in this highly prospective region.

The Limerick basin already hosts the second largest deposit in Ireland – Glencore’s Pallas Green zinc

deposit1 – and our adjacent Stonepark deposit2.”

What is ‘Big Think’? Group Eleven’s ‘Big Think’ exploration is an open-minded and methodical search

for tier-one zinc deposits in the Irish Zinc District through comprehensive re-evaluation of over 70 years

of exploration data combined with cutting edge ge ophysical and geochemical techniques. The

Company believes no other zinc-focused junior or major company is currently exploring on such a broad

and deep scale in Ireland. Please see the Company’s ‘Q&A’ discussion on the ‘Big Think’ for further

information. For more information on the Tellus survey, see news release dated September 27th, 2018.
