Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSX-V: ZNG) (OTCQB: GRLVF) (FSE: 3GE) is pleased to announce assay results from four holes at its Ballywire discovery at the 100%-owned PG West Project, Ireland.

Highlights:

• 26-468-24 – Testing Deeper Cu-Ag target at the SW end of discovery area (710m away from nearest hole testing similar mineralization) and filling a 180m gap between prior drilling, returned:
  • 3.6m of 345 g/t Ag, 0.75% Cu (starting at 449m downhole), incl.
    • 0.6m of 2120 g/t Ag, 4.50% Cu and 0.27% Sb
• 26-3552-56 – Drilled at the NE end of currently defined discovery area and filling a 110m gap between previous drilling, returned:
  • 17.6m of 4.1% Zn+Pb (2.6% Zn and 1.5% Pb), 111 g/t Ag, 0.27% Cu (starting at 305m downhole, hosted within the Waulsortian Limestone), incl.
    • 10.2m of 3.7% Zn+Pb (2.3% Zn and 1.4% Pb), 182 g/t Ag, 0.46% Cu, incl.
      • 3.7m of 7.7% Zn+Pb (5.4% Zn and 2.3% Pb), 418 g/t Ag, 1.02% Cu
• 26-3552-60 – Drilled approx. 80m downdip of 26-3552-57 (which intersected strong Deeper Cu-Ag mineralization totalling 6.6m of 83 g/t, 1.60% Cu, 0.19% Sb; and 2.8m of 110 g/t, 5.09% Cu, 0.44% Sb; see news release dated 11-Jun-2026) returned:
  • 2.3m of 126 g/t Ag, 1.01% Cu, 0.12% Sb (starting from 501m downhole), incl.
    • 0.2m (0.19cm) of 1355 g/t Ag, 11.00% Cu, 1.30% Sb and
  • 15.4m of 39 g/t Ag and 0.82% Cu, incl.
    • 7.5m of 77 g/t Ag, 1.61% Cu and 0.17% Sb, incl.
      • 0.7m of 643 g/t Ag, 13.95% Cu, 1.42% Sb and
  • 6.4m of 41 g/t Ag and 0.88% Cu, incl.
    • 2.7m of 77 g/t Ag and 1.67% Cu
• 26-468-25 – First ever hole drilled at gravity ‘Anomaly A’ (approx. 2km to the SW of the currently outlined discovery limits), returned multiple intervals, intermittently throughout the hole, of trace malachite, chalcopyrite, suspected tennantite-tetrahedrite, sphalerite and galena, plus steeply south-dipping faults, suggesting the presence of a mineralizing system much further SW than previously known; above results are highly encouraging; follow up drilling planned in near term

“Today’s results represent significant progress on several fronts at Ballywire,” stated Bart Jaworski, CEO. “First, we have demonstrated high-grades of Cu-Ag-Sb along the SW end of the currently defined discovery area, 710m away from the nearest such test. Second, a wide zone of Cu-Ag (with Zn+Pb) mineralization was intercepted at the NE end of the discovery area, relatively shallow and within the Waulsortian Limestone. Third, significant Deeper Cu-Ag mineralization was drilled in an 80m step-out returning up to 1355 g/t Ag, 13.95% Cu and 1.42% Sb. Lastly, and perhaps most interestingly, first-ever drilling at gravity-high ‘Anomaly A’ returned trace tennantite-tetrahedrite, typically observed within the high-grade structures in the main discovery area, suggesting drilling at Anomaly A may be close to a feeder zone. Four rigs continue to be active at Ballywire.”

Ballywire Drill Update

The Ballywire prospect at the Company’s 100%-owned PG West Project in Republic of Ireland, represents the most significant mineral discovery in Ireland in over a decade. First announced in Sept-2022, the discovery has 86 holes drilled and reported by Group Eleven to date, including today’s results from three new holes (26-468-24, 26-468-25 and 26-3552-56), plus the remaining assays from 26-3552-60 (initially announced on 07-Jul-2026). All of today’s results are summarized above and below (see Exhibits 1 to 9).

Mineralization reported today consists predominantly of sphalerite, galena and pyrite, with Cu-Ag bearing zones containing malachite, chalcopyrite and suspected tennantite-tetrahedrite. Today’s results represent some of the strongest Cu-Ag intervals achieved at Ballywire to date. In addition to the above description, note that 26-468-25 at ‘Anomaly A’ returned strongly anomalous assay values (see Exhibit 7 and 8), including 1.0m of 15 g/t Ag and 0.09% Cu.

Potential for a parallel trend (as illustrated by red question marks in Exhibit 2), began to emerge earlier this year with several recently announced holes (including 25-468-19 and 26-468-23), as further exemplified by today’s results from 26-468-24. This hole also adds further evidence that Deeper Cu-Ag mineralization may extend across the entire Ballywire Zn-Pb-Ag discovery, currently known to span 3.2km along a prospective trend of 6km.

Four rigs continue to be actively drilling at Ballywire. Currently, thirteen (13) new holes are completed (and in the process of being logged, sampled and assayed) or in the process of being drilled. These are shown in Exhibits 2 to 4. The Company has a robust treasury bolstered by a $12m financing in March, allowing go-forward funded drilling to increase from 20,000m to approx. 67,000-75,000m.

Exhibit 5. Summary of Today’s New Assays from 26-468-24 at Ballywire

Note: True thickness of mineralization as a percentage of the down-hole interval, is estimated to be 85-95% and 45-60% for Waulsortian-hosted (above 428.2m) and Deeper Cu-Ag mineralization (below 428.2m), respectively, in today’s results from 26-468-24; ‘-‘ means less than 0.01%

Exhibit 6. Summary of Today’s New Assays from 26-3552-56 and 26-3552-60 at Ballywire

Note: True thickness of mineralization as a percentage of the down-hole interval, is estimated to be 90-100% and 70-80% for Waulsortian-hosted (above 323.7m) and Deeper Cu-Ag mineralization (below 323.7m), respectively, from today’s results from 26-3552-56; and 65-80% for today’s results (Deeper Cu-Ag mineralization; below 391.3m) from 26-3552-60; ‘-‘ means less than 0.01%

Exhibit 7. Cross-Section D-D’ Showing Today’s Results from 26-468-25 from Gravity ‘Anomaly A’

  Note: Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide (typically a weathering product of chalcopyrite); chalcopyrite is a copper sulphide; tennantite-tetrahedrite is a copper sulfosalt mineral series; galena is a lead sulphide; and sphalerite is a zinc sulphide; true widths are unknown

 Notes to Exhibit 9: (a) Pallas Green MRE is owned by Glencore (see Glencore’s Resources and Reserves Report dated December 31, 2025); (b) Stonepark MRE: see the ‘NI 43-101 Independent Report on the Zinc-Lead Exploration Project at Stonepark, County Limerick, Ireland’, by Gordon, Kelly and van Lente, with an effective date of April 26, 2018, as found on SEDAR+; and (c) the historic estimate at Denison was reported by Westland Exploration Limited in ‘Report on Prospecting Licence 464’ by Dermot Hughes dated May, 1988; the historic estimate at Gortdrum was reported in ‘The Geology and Genesis of the Gortdrum Cu-Ag-Hg Orebody’ by G.M. Steed dated 1986; and the historic estimate at 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. Mineralization and resource estimates relating to nearby properties are not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the Company’s assets.
