Group Eleven Resources Corp has provided an interim update on its zinc and copper exploration activities in the Republic of Ireland.
"We are very pleased with the steady progress made so far this year with our two-rig drill program, as well as, with our bolstered strategic position the Limerick region," said Bart Jaworski, Group Eleven CEO in a statement.
"We are on-track to complete our 2022 drill program totalling over 6,000m. Drilling continues on several regional targets at PG West, to be followed by the completion of three remaining holes at Stonepark, as well as, follow-up drilling at Carrickittle. At Tullacondra, our expanded ground position covers the western extension of Waulsortian limestone, adding further compelling zinc exploration upside to what is already an exciting copper-silver prospect," he added.
