Group Eleven Commences Step-Out Drilling and Releases 3D Geological Model at Ballinalack Zinc Project, Republic of Ireland

VANCOUVER, Aug. 6, 2019 - Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSX.V: ZNG; OTCQB: GRLVF; FRA: 3GE) ("Group Eleven" or the "Company") is pleased to report that diamond drilling has begun on the Ballinalack zinc project ("Ballinalack") located  in the Republic of Ireland, focussing on the prospective Navan Beds located several hundred metres below the existing Ballinalack zinc deposit (see details below). Ballinalack is a joint venture between Group Eleven (60%-interest) and Shenzhen Zhongjin Lingnan Nonfemet Company Limited ("Nonfemet", 40%-interest), one of the largest zinc producers in China. Nonfemet is a contributing joint venture partner. Ballinalack is located 50 kilometres from Boliden's substantial Navan (Tara) zinc mine, considered to be one of the largest zinc deposits in the world and hosted in the Navan Beds. 

"It has long been postulated that a second horizon of mineralization may exist beneath the current resource, however, this target remained impeded by geological complexity which we have only recently started to decipher with today's powerful 3D visualization software," stated Bart Jaworski, CEO. "We very much look forward to the start of testing this exciting target."

Details of the Target

The aim of the drill program is to explore for zinc-lead-silver mineralization with the prospective Navan Beds located several hundred metres below the existing Ballinalack zinc deposit. The Ballinalack mineral resource estimate ("MRE" or "deposit") is located near-surface (with depths ranging from 10 to 300 metres) and consists of 5.4 million tonnes grading 7.6% zinc and 1.1% lead within the inferred category (see news release dated November 28, 2018). The deposit averages 9.0 g/t silver, based on partial silver assays from historic work (i.e. all intervals which were not assayed historically were assumed to be 0.25 g/t silver, representing half of the historic detection limit).

The drill program will be rolled out in consecutive stages with each stage contingent on the results from the prior phase. The program has commenced with an approximately 700 metre deep hole, to test the target area in the area immediately north-west of the Ballinalack deposit.

3D Geological Model

In order for investors and stakeholders to better visualize the targets underneath and proximal to the Ballinlalack deposit, Group Eleven has published its three-dimensional (3D) interactive model of the deposit area on the VRIFY platform (click link here).

Other Matters

Pursuant to the terms of the Company's agreement with VRIFY as initially disclosed in the news release dated May 10, 2019, this completes the second part of the planned program. As consideration for these services, the Company will issue shares equivalent to $6,000, to be priced the day subsequent to this news release. The final number of shares will be contingent on the closing price on that day and subject to TSX-V approval.
