Mining Executive

Biography

Bart Jaworski is the Chief Executive Officer and Director of Group Eleven Resources Corp. (TSX-V: ZNG | OTCQB: GRLVF), a Vancouver-based exploration company focused on zinc, silver, and germanium in the Republic of Ireland. With a career spanning over two decades in the mining industry, Jaworski brings a rare combination of corporate development expertise and geological insight to the junior mining sector.

Jaworski's most notable career achievement is co-founding Wheaton Precious Metals (formerly Silver Wheaton) over 20 years ago, helping build what would become one of the largest precious metals streaming companies in the world. This foundational experience gave him deep exposure to project evaluation, deal structuring, and the economics of large-scale mineral production—expertise he now applies to leading Group Eleven's exploration portfolio.

Under Jaworski's leadership, Group Eleven Resources has assembled a significant land position in Ireland's prolific zinc-lead mining districts, with the Ballywire discovery emerging as a particularly promising silver-zinc-germanium prospect. The company has attracted strategic investment from major mining players, including Glencore, and has conducted extensive drill programs targeting multi-metal resource growth. Jaworski has been a frequent presenter at the Metals Investor Forum and other industry conferences, where he communicates the company's exploration thesis to the investment community.

For mining investors, Jaworski represents a management team with proven pedigree in value creation. His Wheaton Precious Metals pedigree signals an understanding of what world-class deposits look like, and his focus on Ireland—a stable jurisdiction with a rich mining history—offers a compelling geographic thesis. His regular engagement with retail and institutional investors through conferences and media interviews demonstrates a commitment to transparency and shareholder communication that is highly valued in the junior exploration space.
