Group Eleven Drills New Mineralized Zone South of Main Discovery Trend at Ballywire, Returning 7.3m of 5.2% Zn+Pb, 10 g/t Ag (from 326m), Incl. 3.8m of 7.3% Zn+Pb, 14 g/t Ag

Highlights:

• 25-3552-47 (approx. 100m step-out SSE of 25-3552-40, initial test of the Deeper Cu-Ag target; announced 22-Sep-25) intersected four zones of mineralization, including:

  • New Mineralized Zone (South) – Waulsortian Hosted (starting from 313.1m downhole)

  • 20.3m of 2.6% Zn+Pb (1.5% Zn and 1.1% Pb), 6 g/t Ag, including

  • 7.3m of 5.2% Zn+Pb (2.5% Zn and 2.7% Pb), 10 g/t Ag, including

  • 3.8m of 7.3% Zn+Pb (3.7% Zn and 3.6% Pb), 14 g/t Ag, including

  • 1.9m of 10.7% Zn+Pb (5.7% Zn and 5.0% Pb), 19 g/t Ag

  • New Mineralized Zone (South) – Base of Waulsortian (starting from 355.9m downhole)

  • 2.6m of 2.7% Zn+Pb (0.1% Zn and 2.5% Pb) and 19 g/t Ag, including

  • 0.8m of 6.7% Zn+Pb (0.3% Zn and 6.5% Pb) and 37 g/t Ag

  • Deeper Cu-Ag Zone (starting from 490.7m downhole)

  • 11.3m of 0.26% Cu and 8 g/t Ag, including

  • 4.7m of 0.46% Cu and 14 g/t Ag, including

  • 1.8m of 0.83% Cu and 24 g/t Ag

  • Deeper Cu-Ag Zone (starting from 616.6m downhole)

  • 9.4m of 0.25% Cu and 7 g/t Ag, including

  • 3.7m of 0.32% Cu and 8 g/t Ag, including

  • 0.8m of 0.62% Cu and 16 g/t Ag

“Today’s results represent a positive surprise given we were not expecting robust Zn-Pb-Ag mineralization south of the main discovery trend at this particular location,” stated Bart Jaworski, CEO. “In addition to successfully extending significant Deeper Cu-Ag mineralization down dip by over 200m from previous drilling, today’s hole intersected strong Zn-Pb-Ag mineralization in a new part of the discovery. Long theorized, new zones of mineralization parallel to the main discovery trend at Ballywire were evidenced this September by hole 25-3552-44 which discovered a new Cu-Ag bearing feeder structure to the north of the main discovery. Today’s results show a similar situation, but to the south, enhancing the potential for at least two additional mineralized zones. If borne out, this greatly expands Ballywire’s tonnage potential.”

“Driven by new zones of mineralization, growing momentum at our Deeper Cu-Ag zone and the fact that the majority of our 6km long prospective trend is yet to be drilled, Ballywire’s exploration upside continues to ramp up. With a robust treasury and our most ambitious drilling campaign to date – four rigs turning in Ireland – we are poised to continue unlocking Ballywire’s full potential over the coming months.”

Note: True thickness of the mineralized intervals in hole 25-3552-47 as a percentage of the down-hole interval, is estimated to be approx. 90-100% for Waulsortian-hosted zones, and 60-80% for sub-Waulsortian zones.

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 64 holes drilled and reported by Group Eleven to date, including the most recent two holes (25-3552-45 and -47) reported today (see Exhibits 1 to 6).

Assays from today’s drill holes are summarized above and below (and in Exhibits 4 and 5). Mineralization consists predominantly of sphalerite, galena and pyrite, with the Cu-Ag bearing zones also containing chalcopyrite and suspected tennantite-tetrahedrite.

In addition to results from 25-3552-47, described above, hole 25-3552-45 intersected two zones of significant mineralization along a fault structure (see Exhibits 3 and 5). Strong exploration upside remains further to the NNW and SSE along this section.

Exhibit 5. Summary of Assays from 25-3552-45 at Ballywire

Drilling at Ballywire continues with three rigs. Currently, thirteen (13) new holes are completed or near completed (and in the process of being logged, sampled and assayed). These are shown in Exhibit 2, including: (i) four holes collared approx. 200m E of G11-3552-08; (ii) two holes testing approx. 780m SE of G11-3552-08; (iii) six holes drilled along a drill fence hosting G11-468-01; and (iv) one hole testing approx. 80m SW of G11-3552-12. Note, one additional rig is active at the Company’s Stonepark Project.

Notes to Exhibit 7: (a) Pallas Green MRE is owned by Glencore (see Glencore’s Resources and Reserves Report dated December 31, 2024); (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.
