Group Eleven Resources kicks off follow-up drilling at Carrickittle prospect on its PG West project in Ireland

Group Eleven Resources Corp (CVE:ZNG) (OTCMKTS:GRLVF) told investors that follow up drilling had started at its Carrickittle zinc prospect on its wholly-owned PG West project in the Republic of Ireland.

The first phase of the work comprises six holes and 600 metres and will focus on Zone 1 of the prospect, testing the immediate extensions of the high-grade zone discovery announced in July.

Then the firm reported 10.3m of 14.6% zinc and 5% lead, or 19.6% combined, and 43 grams per ton (g/t) silver in one hole. The overall program comprises 20 holes for 1,200m.

“We are excited to commence follow-up drilling at Carrickittle and look forward to updating the market as soon as results are ready and compiled during the next couple of months,” said Bart Jaworski, Group Eleven’s CEO in a statement.

“The Limerick basin is proving to be a very prospective zinc-lead camp and we look forward to progressing exploration in the near-term, especially along the emerging Pallas Green Corridor.”

The Carrickittle prospect lies within the 100%-owned PG West project, in south-western Ireland.

PG West is situated within the Limerick basin, a geological feature which also hosts the Company’s contiguous 76.56%-owned Stonepark project and Glencore’s adjacent Pallas Green project.
