Special Report: West Coast Silver’s Elizabeth Hill project has scaled new heights, with its silver resource growing 20% and 77% of contained ounces now classified in the higher-confidence indicated category.

The updated estimate totals 234,700t at 446g/t silver for 3.36Moz of contained metal on a 100% project basis at a 20g/t cut-off.

Indicated material now contains 2.59Moz, or 77% of the total, up from 369,000oz and 13% in April 2026, with the remaining 776,000oz classified as inferred.

West Coast Silver (ASX:WCE) owns 70% of the project, which sits about 45km south of Karratha in WA’s West Pilbara, with Alien Metals holding the remaining 30%.

Metallurgical, geotechnical and engineering work is already underway to support further assessment.

Contained silver has increased by approximately 568,000oz from April 2026’s 2.8Moz estimate.

Resource tonnes rose 66.5%, while average grade declined from 617g/t to 446g/t as the revised interpretation captured additional lower-grade material.

The update incorporates 46 additional drill holes and revised geological interpretation and estimation methods.
