Group Eleven Resources has emerged as one of Ireland's most significant mineral explorers following the discovery of high-grade zinc-lead mineralization extending 2.6 km along a prospective 6 km trend. The Ballywire project delivers exceptional grades averaging 10% zinc-lead with 100 grams per ton silver, substantially exceeding the 6% global average for operating mines. This positions the company to capitalize on Ireland's reputation for producing clean, high-quality concentrates favored by major smelters worldwide.
Recent drilling has identified significant copper mineralization beneath the zinc discovery, intercepting 6 meters grading nearly 4% copper and 1,000 g/t silver. This copper-silver horizon represents a strategic shift, exposing the project to the high-demand copper market where major mining companies actively seek new supply sources. The discovery places Ballywire within a historical copper belt hosting several prospects, two previously mined.
With CAD $8.4 million secured through recent financing, Group Eleven has funded over 25,000 meters of drilling extending through 2027. The company operates three drill rigs year-round with plans to expand to four, benefiting from Ireland's exceptionally low drilling costs of $150 CAD per meter and year-round accessibility. The exploration strategy focuses on testing three remaining gravity anomalies and delineating copper-silver mineralization at depth.
The project benefits from backing by Glencore and mining entrepreneur Michael Gentille, plus strategic proximity to Glencore's nearby 50-million-ton deposits. Ireland's government supports the sector through its EUR 30 million Irish Mining Fund, which provides equity investment alongside private capital.
