Carrickittle West Project Program Has Commenced
VANCOUVER - Group Eleven Resources Corp. has commenced drilling at the Carrickittle West Prospect, Republic of Ireland. The prospect spans across the Company's 76.56%-owned Stonepark Project and the Company's contiguous 100%-owned PG West Project.
Drill program of 4-5 holes at Carrickittle West totalling approx. 1,700m (hole depths of 350m to 550m) testing the southern margin of the Limerick Volcanic Complex (LVC), a prospective area of approximately 11km in strike-length. Targets include areas of brecciation and mineralization seen in previous drilling, the Kilteely volcanic centre and the SW extensions of the Coonagh Castle Fault.
Volcanic centre at Kilteely, covering 2km x 6km, is the focus of renewed attention by the Company given its potential association with zinc mineralization - the only other interpreted volcanic centre in the LVC is located adjacent to the Pallas Green deposit1 (only 5km north of Carrickittle West)
The two-rig drill program at the Ballywire discovery at PG West is progressing well. Drilling this year now totals 5,880m (including 3,475m reported to date and eight holes pending assay results), with the total for the year expected to range from 7,000m to 8,000m. Next assay results are expected to include three holes from NE step-outs (G11-3552-15, -16 and 17) and one hole from a SW step-out (testing the 'B' gravity anomaly; G11-2654-03).
"We are excited to start our long-awaited follow-up drill program at the Carrickittle West prospect," stated Bart Jaworski, CEO. "This program aims to provide us with critical information needed to further unlock value on this 'Pallas Green lookalike' target and hopefully make another discovery. At Ballywire, we look forward to providing the market with new drill results shortly. As stated previously, work announced to date suggests Ballywire is increasingly showing signs of a major zinc-lead-silver discovery."
