Group Eleven Identifies Previously-Unknown and Prospective Geological Features from Airborne Survey at Stonepark and PG West Projects, Ireland

PDF

Vancouver, Canada, November 13, 2019 – Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSX.V: ZNG; OTC: GRLVF; FRA: 3GE) (“Group Eleven” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that data from the Geological Survey of Ireland’s ‘Tellus’ airborne geophysical survey (funded in part by Group Eleven), covering the Company’s Stonepark, PG West and Silvermines zinc projects, was publicly released on October 15, 2019. Preliminary analysis of the data by the Company has yielded some large surprises, identifying a number of previously unknown geological features which (i) open up new areas of prospectivity and (ii) add significant refinement to the Company’s already established zinc target areas.

Highlights:

  • The Limerick Volcanic Complex (LVC) is shown in much clearer detail than on any previous survey (see Exhibit 1)
  • Specifically, the Company’s key exploration concept (‘Pallas Green Corridor’ and cross-fault north of Kilteely) remains very much intact and is now better refined
  • A number of previously-unknown large circular features appear along the southwestern margin of the LVC, likely representing buried volcanic centres or intrusions – adding significant prospectivity
  • Cutting through our recently drilled Ballywire prospect[1], a strong east-northeast linear trend confirms and refines the ‘Navan-Tipperary line’, long considered to be the southwest continuation of the famous ‘Rathdowney Trend’ (hosting the Lisheen and Galmoy zinc deposits)
  • Approximately 20 km to the west of – and sub-parallel to – the Pallas Green Corridor, the data shows a previously-unknown, strong northwest linear trend, at least 40 km long, which appears to represent a corridor of suspected buried volcanic centres or instrusives – adding significant prospectivity

“To have such an extensive, uniform and high-quality data set over the entire 1,200 km2 Stonepark and PG West project is a big step forward for Group Eleven,” stated Bart Jaworski, CEO. “We are excited to now use this information to fast-track and refine our plans for what should be an exciting exploration program in 2020 on this project.”

Details on the Tellus Survey

The Tellus airborne geophysical survey covered a contiguous area of 4,649 km2 over Group Eleven’s Stonepark, PG West and Silvermines zinc projects in Ireland. The Stonepark project (76.56% interest owned by Group Eleven and 23.44% interest owned by Arkle Resources PLC) is approximately 200 km2 in area; and Group Eleven’s contiguous and wholly owned PG West project is approximately 1000 km2 in area.

The survey was managed by the Geological Survey of Ireland and flown by Sander Geophysics Ltd (Canada). Group Eleven contributed approximately 25% of the total cost of the survey. The survey was flown during most of 2018 and ended in March 2019.

Data collected:

  • Magnetics – single sensor, total magnetic intensity
  • Electromagnetics – frequency domain (4 frequencies, in-phase and quadrature EM and resistivity)
  • Gamma Ray spectrometry – total-count and potassium, equivalent uranium and equivalent thorium

Survey details:

  • Line spacing: 200 metres
  • Line direction: azimuth of 345°
  • Flight altitude: nominal 60 metres, rising to approximately 300 metres over urban areas
  • Line kilometres of data collected: 25,577 line km

Key Areas of Focus

The Tellus airborne survey represents the first and only geophysical survey covering the entire Stonepark and PG West zinc projects. Several geophysical surveys were conducted historically in the project area, however, these were much smaller in coverage and much older in vintage (the most recent being from 1998). Key areas of focus summarized above which have so far emerged from Group Eleven’s preliminary ‘first-pass’ analysis of the dataset are shown below (see Exhibit 1).
