Review of 2022 Drilling on Stonepark

Group Eleven Resources Corp. ("Group Eleven"), the Company's partner (76.56% interest) and operator of the 6 block Stonepark licences has issued a press release covering their drilling programme on Stonepark in 2022. The key finding is the discovery of two regional trends on the block.

John Teeling, Chairman of Arkle, commented, "The work completed in 2022 adds significantly to the prospectivity of the Stonepark block. Two regional trends have been identified, the Carrickittle trend in the south of the block and a 10km trend stretching from our existing zinc deposit discoveries toward the southeast of the block. The Stonepark block increases in strategic importance as more information is acquired on the potential for zinc lead in the Limerick Volcanic Complex ("LVC")."

Highlights

-     Group Eleven completed 2,316m of drilling in 2022.

-     A significant discovery was the identification of a potential mineralised fault structure related to the Carrickittle West discovery prospect in the south of the Stonepark block.

-     Holes G11-499-01 and 02 drilled 100 metres apart, in the south intersected low grade zinc but discovered significant evidence of a fault structure that could be related to the Carrickittle West discovery hole.

-     This major fault announced in June 2022 now appears to have a breadth of several kilometres adding significantly to the prospectivity of the area.

-     Two holes in the north of the block added to the evidence of a second trend, 10km in length, from the existing Stonepark deposit extending to the southwest.

-     Permits have been applied for to drill the prospective Carrickittle West deep hole. Once granted, Group Eleven will commence drilling when the ongoing drill programme is completed on their own ground.

Extensive details are given in the Group Eleven press release included below.

Group Eleven Provides Results of Regional Drilling at Stonepark Zinc Project, Ireland

Vancouver, Canada, January 31, 2023 - Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSX-V: ZNG; OTC: GRLVF; FRA: 3GE) ("Group Eleven" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from regional drilling at its Stonepark Project ("Stonepark", 76.56% interest), Ireland.

Highlights

·    At Carrickittle West prospect ("Carrickittle West"; Stonepark Project; see news release dated June 16, 2022), drill applications have now been submitted and drilling is expected to start later this year (specific timing subject to receipt of permits, progress at Ballywire, etc)

·    Drilling on the Company's regional prospects within Stonepark has now been completed with results summarized below

·    Key takeaway from regional drilling is that the major fault recently discovered at Carrickittle West is now hypothesized to extend another 10-20km to the SW and at least 30km to the NE, demonstrating the extent of the structure trend and increased prospectivity at Carrickittle West

"At Carrickittle West, it is very encouraging to see the major fault identified in June 2022, now appearing to be part of a larger structural trend 40-50km long. This significantly adds to Carrickittle West's discovery potential."

Group Eleven's 2022 Drill Program in Ireland - Key Points

Group Eleven drilled 2,316m at its Stonepark Project (76.56% interest). A key highlight is the identification of a potential mineralizing 'feeder' structure at Carrickittle West (see news release dated June 16, 2022). In addition, regional drilling fulfilled two other objectives: (i) keeping prospecting licenses in good standing; and (ii) generating new ideas and high-priority prospects for future drilling.

Notes to Exhibit 1: (a) Pallas Green MRE is owned by Glencore (see Glencore's Resources and Reserves Report dated December 31, 2021); (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.

Stonepark Project, Ireland (75.56% interest) - Regional Drill Program

At Stonepark, the first three holes (totalling 1,812m) of the drill campaign, were previously released (see news release dated June 16, 2022). The main highlight of this drilling was the identification of a major fault structure at Carrickittle West (see Exhibit 2), with at least 150m displacement, hypothesized to represent at least one of the feeder structures which may have sourced mineralization (e.g. Group Eleven's Stonepark zinc deposit[1], Glencore's nearby Pallas Green zinc deposit or any as yet undiscovered mineralization) within the Limerick Volcanic Complex ("LVC"). This potential 'feeder' fault is interpreted as the SW extension of the Coonagh Castle Fault which strikes for at least 30km NE of the LVC but whose presence, location and significance was highly uncertain within the SW portion of the LVC (the portion covered by Group Eleven's prospecting licenses). The four remaining holes announced today (totalling 504m) add evidence of further extensions of major prospective trends to the SW.

Note: Iapetus Suture is a fault zone marking a collision (400 mln years ago) between northern and southern parts of Ireland

Drill holes G11-449-01 and -02 (drilled 100m apart) intersected trace mineralization (cm-scale blebs of sphalerite and 4.0m of 0.24% Zn+Pb, respectively). This was unusual given the holes did not intersect the target horizon (Waulsortian limestone), instead encountering sub-Waulsortian lithologies and a mineralized intrusive dyke. This hydrothermal activity can be interpreted as evidence of a fault structure nearby. Together with re-assessed historic drilling and outcrop geology, the presence of a major structure in the area is now an emerging hypothesis. This structure may represent a SW continuation of the Coonagh Castle Fault (see 'Hypothesized CCF Extension' in Exhibit 2).

In the northern part of the Stonepark property, two other holes also provided useful information supporting the presence of a 10km-long prospective trend starting at the Stonepark zinc deposit¹ and extending to the SW (see Exhibit 2). G11-2927-01 intersected a small fault with an associated mineralized zone (0.36m of 1.30% Zn+Pb). This mineralized fault confirms tectonic and hydrothermal activity in the area, corroborating geophysical evidence (gravity and airborne magnetics) suggesting the presence of a large uplifted ('horst') feature present along most of this trend. G11-3367-01 intersected strong alteration, suggesting large fault structures nearby. Importantly, a potential vector (extensive pyritic black-matrix-breccia or 'BMB'), occurs nearby.
