West Coast Silver is the newest name on the ASX – with drill rigs ready in the Pilbara

West Coast Silver (ASX:WCE) is the newest name on the ASX – and it’s also the freshest face in Western Australia’s prolific Pilbara region.

Situated at the Elizabeth Hill project in WA – a former high-grade silver operation that only ever went to 100m depth – West Coast Silver hits the bourse ready to go with a drilling campaign already on the immediate horizon.

And we’re talking about diamond drill rigs capable of going well below 100m total depth.

You can probably already guess what the company is searching for, given its name. (For those playing at home, West Coast Silver was formerly Errawarra.)

With Executive Director Bruce Garlick bullish on the silver thematic, what WCE really wants to do – all cards in order – is replicate already eye-catching grades detected on site using handheld scanners, showing the potential for concentrations above 900g/t silver.

And to make things more interesting, West Coast Silver is about to kick off fresh diamond drilling on-site.

“The drilling contractor West Core is scheduled to be on site over the weekend of 24–25 May 2025, with drilling to commence the following week,” West Coast Silver wrote in a release on Friday.

“The program is to target extensional and down-plunge silver mineralisation, with a focus on expanding known high-grade zones.”

For a full explanation of West Coast Silver’s project, why Bruce is bullish on silver, and what the newly-renamed company expects from the next six months – check out HotCopper’s interview above on this page.

WCE last traded at 4.6cps through Friday lunchtime.
