Group Eleven Highlights Elevated Germanium Grades from Recent Drilling at Ballywire; Provides Drill Update
Group Eleven Resources has announced new germanium assays from drilling at its 100%-owned Ballywire zinc-lead-silver discovery in Ireland. Key highlights include high germanium grades of 71.7 g/t, 41.2 g/t, and 27.8 g/t from five holes, extending the mineralized strike length to 1.25km from 890m previously.
The company drilled over 8,100m at Ballywire in 2024, compared to 4,800m in 2023 and 1,950m in 2022. Total drilling at Ballywire reached 16,100m by end of 2024, with six holes totaling 1,520m pending results. Drilling resumed on January 6th with two rigs.
Germanium, currently trading at approximately US$75/oz, is 2.5 times more valuable than silver and is important for AI semiconductors. The company's ownership in the Stonepark project is expected to increase from 76.56% to 77.64% after Arkle Resources declined to finance their pro-rata share of program costs.
Group Eleven Resources ha annunciato nuovi assaggi di germanio da perforazioni nel suo giacimento di zinco-piombo-argento Ballywire, di cui detiene il 100% in Irlanda. I punti salienti includono elevate concentrazioni di germanio di 71.7 g/t, 41.2 g/t e 27.8 g/t provenienti da cinque pozzi, estendendo la lunghezza della zona mineralizzata a 1,25 km rispetto ai precedenti 890 m.
L'azienda ha perforato più di 8.100 m a Ballywire nel 2024, rispetto ai 4.800 m nel 2023 e ai 1.950 m nel 2022. La perforazione totale a Ballywire ha raggiunto 16.100 m entro la fine del 2024, con sei pozzi di 1.520 m in attesa di risultati. Le perforazioni sono riprese il 6 gennaio con due macchine.
Il germanio, attualmente scambiato a circa US$75/oz, è 2,5 volte più prezioso dell'argento ed è importante per i semiconduttori per l'AI. Si prevede che la partecipazione dell'azienda nel progetto Stonepark aumenti dal 76,56% al 77,64% dopo che Arkle Resources ha rifiutato di finanziare la propria quota proporzionale dei costi del programma.

Group Eleven Resources는 아일랜드의 100% 소유인 발리와이어 아연-납-은 발견에서의 시추로부터 새로운 독일성 분석 결과를 발표했습니다. 주요 내용으로는 다섯 개의 구멍에서 발견된 71.7 g/t, 41.2 g/t, 27.8 g/t의 높은 독일성 농도가 있으며, 이는 광물이 발견된 길이를 이전의 890m에서 1.25km로 연장합니다.
회사는 2024년에 발리와이어에서 8,100m 이상을 시추했습니다, 2023년의 4,800m 및 2022년의 1,950m와 비교됩니다. 발리와이어에서의 총 시추량은 2024년 말까지 16,100m에 도달했으며, 1,520m에 해당하는 6개의 구멍이 결과를 기다리고 있습니다. 시추는 1월 6일에 두 대의 기계로 재개되었습니다.
독일성은 현재 약 US$75/oz에 거래되고 있으며, 이는 은보다 2.5배 더 가치가 있고 AI 반도체에 중요합니다. 회사의 스톤파크 프로젝트에 대한 소유권은 아르클 리소스가 프로그램 비용의 비례 지분을 자금 지원하기를 거부한 후 76.56%에서 77.64%로 증가할 것으로 예상됩니다.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 15, 2025) - Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSXV: ZNG) (OTC Pink: GRLVF) (FSE: 3GE) ("Group Eleven" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the latest germanium assays from recent drilling at the Company's
New Germanium Assays
Germanium (Ge) grades including 71.7 g/t, 41.2 g/t and 27.8 g/t returned from five (5) holes in northeastern portion of Ballywire discovery (Ge price is approx. US
$75 /oz or US$2.40 /gram1)Elevated Ge is now demonstrated over a strike length of 1.25km (from 890m previously)
Highest Ge grades correlate well with the highest Zn grades (suggesting Ge occurs with sphalerite)
Ge analyses over the other mineralized areas are ongoing, to be released periodically
Drill Update
After the Christmas break, drilling at Ballywire reconvened on January 6th with two drill rigs
In 2024, the Company drilled over 8,100m at Ballywire compared to 4,800m and 1,950m in 2023 and 2022, respectively
In total, over 16,100m have been drilled at Ballywire by Group Eleven to the end of 2024, including six (6) holes (totalling over 1,520m) expected to be released as assays become available
At the Carrickittle West prospect, spanning the Stonepark and PG West Projects, drilling has been completed according to plan with results expected mid-late Q1 2025
"We are excited to start our third consecutive year of intensive exploration at Ballywire. Last year was transformative for us given the exceptional drill results attained, both in terms of grades and widths, as well as shallowing depths of high-grade massive sulphide horizons. The continuation of elevated germanium along the entire main trend of our discovery to date is also highly encouraging. Germanium is approx. 2.5x more valuable than silver and is a key metal for the highly competitive AI semiconductor industry.
With 42 holes drilled and announced, plus robust mineralization pierced over a 2.6km long trend, we have a strong foundation from which to build further shareholder value at Ballywire in 2025. With two rigs turning for the foreseeable future, the key drill targets for Ballywire include the remainder of our 6km prospective trend, hypothesized mineralization parallel to the discovery trend and a deeper horizon highly prospective for copper and silver."

In total, over 16,100m have been drilled at Ballywire by Group Eleven to the end of 2024, including six (6) holes (totalling over 1,520m) located in the northeastern portion of the discovery area (see G11-3552-24 to -29 in Exhibit 2). Results from these holes are expected to be released as assays become available. Exhibit 2 shows drilling to date across 1.25km of the overall 2.6km long trend (see Exhibit 1) of significantly mineralized drill intercepts (open in all directions).
Germanium Analyses
To attain accurate germanium (Ge) assays, the Company engages with ALS Global (Loughrea, Co. Galway, Ireland) to re-analyse previous sample pulps using an assay technique specifically suited for germanium, gallium and indium detection (lithium borate fusion). The process of re-analysing intervals which are well mineralized with zinc and lead is well advanced, however, still incomplete. Further Ge analyses are ongoing and will continue to be released periodically.
Given re-sampling is focussed only on the highest-grade mineralized intervals, coverage is often non-continuous and hence difficult to compare between drill holes. Therefore, the approach taken in Exhibit 1 focusses on the highest grading single Ge sample from each hole as a preliminary illustration of the Ge distribution across the Ballywire discovery trend.
Background Information on Germanium
Due to its application in high-tech industries and its scarcity on the Earth's crust, the element germanium (Ge) has been on the European Union List of Critical Raw Materials since 2010. Other countries that designate Ge as a critical element include US, China, Australia and Canada. The American Physical Society categorizes Ge as one of the 'Energy Critical Elements'. China produces 60
Ge currently trades at approximately US

Globally, Ge does not occur as primary deposits, instead occurs only as a by-product in some zinc or coal deposits. According to the USGS2, the most significant carbonate-hosted zinc-lead-copper deposit that contains notable amounts of germanium is the Kipushi deposit in the Democratic Republic of Congo. USGS states that Kipushi contains an average grade of 68 g/t Ge. This is in line with Ivanhoe's recent announcement on Kipushi noting its Mineral Resource Estimate (Measured & Indicated; dated June 14, 2018) hosting 11.8mt of
