West Coast Silver makes high-grade discovery at Elizabeth Hill

• Diamond drill hole confirms new discrete zone of silver mineralisation
• Discovery below and separate from previously mined Elizabeth Hill orebody
• Drill intersection ties together historical drill intersections
• Exploration diamond drilling progressing through final planned holes

West Coast Silver (ASX:WCE) has confirmed a new discovery with results from diamond drilling with high-grade silver and base metal intersections at the historic Elizabeth Hill project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The company has also received significant assay results for the last 15 of 32 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes completed in May 2026 at Elizabeth Hill.

The 2,710m, 32 RC hole program targeted silver mineralisation north of the April 2026 maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE), with results to date indicating significant extensions beyond the current resource envelope.

“We are excited by the outcomes of these diamond and RC drilling campaigns at Elizabeth Hill and Elizabeth Hill North. The identification of high-grade silver at depth in hold 26WCDD029 and broad, near-surface silver zones of up to 44m downhole extent, together with mineralisation extending beyond the current resource boundary, demonstrates the increasing scale of the Elizabeth Hill silver system and reinforces its significant resource growth potential,” EC, Bruce Garlick, said.

“The extension of mineralisation beyond the April 2026 MRE, to the north, west and at depth, has the potential to add new silver ounces and tonnes in the next MRE update.

“Importantly, the intersection of silver mineralisation hosted in granite expands the prospectivity of the system beyond a single rock type, and the alteration patterns observed provide the exploration team with a robust tool for targeting higher-grade zones.”

Mr Garlick told shareholders the intersection of nickel, copper and palladium in hole 26WCDD029 hosted in ultramafic lithologies within the basal Munni Munni Intrusive Complex, opens the possibility of an additional mineralisation style at Elizabeth Hill.

He also noted that the Elizabeth Hill trend remains open to the north and at depth,

Diamond drilling continues to test for extensions to, and infill of, the MRE, while economic studies of near-surface mineralisation are progressing towards a scoping study.
