This brings the total to 13 holes drilled, of which nine holes have visible silver mineralisation, confirmed by pXRF (refer to the Company’s announcement dated 5 November 2025) **Belinda Murray, Executive Director of Alien, commented: **“West Coast Silver’s work continues to validate our position in Elizabeth Hill. These latest results confirm the presence of additional shallow, high-grade silver and point to a system that extends beyond the historically mined areas. It is a strong outcome for this phase of work and reinforces the growth potential of the project.” The full text of the announcement issued by West Coast Silver is provided below in Appendix A. For further information, please visit the Company’s website at [www.alienmetals.uk](http://www.alienmetals.uk) Aircore Program Underway at Elizabeth Hill Near-Mine Targets **Highlights** ·    Core logging and observations continue to highlight silver mineralogy in near surface drill holes ·    Silver minerals observed in 5 of the latest 8 drill holes (qualitatively verified by pXRF[1]) ·    Native silver logged above the historical Elizabeth Hill mine workings[2],  transitioning to silver mineralogy in near surface intersections ·    Geometry refined: southerly plunging mineralisation appears to widen more than expected above old mine ·    Deeper holes indicate continuity at depth, suggesting a larger mineral system ·    All samples dispatched; first assays expected mid-December, then progressively into January West Coast Silver Limited (ASX: WCE) (West Coast or the Company) is pleased to announce further encouraging silver observations from its Phase 2 diamond program at the high-grade Elizabeth Hill Project in Western Australia’s Pilbara region (Elizabeth Hill). This brings to a total of 13 holes drilled of which 9 holes have visible silver mineralisation, confirmed by pXRF (refer to ASX Announcement dated 5 November 2025). Shallow holes continue to show native silver immediately above the historical mine workings, transitioning to silver-bearing minerals near surface (Figure 2). The two deepest holes drilled to date confirm that the Elizabeth Hill mineral system continues at depth, extending below the historical mine and strengthening the interpretation of a larger, vertically continuous system (Figures 2-9). All samples have been submitted; first assay results are anticipated in mid-December. West Coast’s current interpretation is that the southerly plunging shoot broadens upward, potentially forming a wider, near-surface zone of silver mineralisation than previously modelled (Figure 2). The transition from native silver at depth to silver minerals of varying composition toward surface likely reflects multiple mineralising pulses or secondary enrichment processes. Further investigation of the mineralogy is underway. Exploration efforts have now shifted to a near-mine aircore program testing for extensions of the Elizabeth Hill system to the immediate north and south of the deposit’s surface expression. Commenting on the aircore program, Executive Director Bruce Garlick commented: “This second phase of drilling has delivered exactly what we set out to test – more native silver near surface and strong indications the system continues below the old workings. We’re building confidence that Elizabeth Hill hosts a much larger and more vertically extensive silver system than previously recognised.” ![](https://dw6uz0omxro53.cloudfront.net/3568883/365e2fb1-90c8-4330-9798-fa85cd54c578.gif) Figure 1: Map showing the location of drill holes which contained native silver and silver and sulphide minerals and selected historical drill results. Note: Call out results in Figure 1 have previously been shown in ASX Announcement dated 15 October 2025 LONG SECTION The long section shows the location of all 2025 drilling and historical drilling, as well as the approximate position of silver mineralisation in the phase 2 drilling program. Notably native silver mineralisation sits above the Elizabeth Hill workings, then transitioning to different silver mineralogy, potentially sulphide and/or oxide mineralogy. ![](https://dw6uz0omxro53.cloudfront.net/3568883/7bccae5c-4823-4cd2-bd57-dfce9476549d.gif) Figure 2: Long section showing the generalised position of native and silver mineralisation from the current drilling. The position of silver mineralisation in drill holes 25WCDD016 and 25WCDD014 (shown as 014 and 016) suggests that the northern boundary may extend once assays have been received. CROSS SECTIONS AND LOCATION OF SILVER MINERALISATION Drill Holes 25WCDD013 and 25WCDD014 Drill holes 25WCDD013 and 25WCDD014 targeted the prospective interaction of the Munni Munni fault and the granite/ultramafic contact, as well as mineralisation at the top of the historical Elizabeth Hill mine sequence (Figure 3). These drill holes were previously described in WCE ASX Announcement dated 5 November 2025. ![A map of the west coast silver AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://dw6uz0omxro53.cloudfront.net/3568883/3797b7ae-f31b-4510-b7fd-7d4cd374ff54.gif) Figure 3: Cross section showing the mineralisation outline and position of silver mineralisation in 25WCDD013 and 25WCDD014 Drill Holes 25WCDD016 and 25WCDD020 Drill holes 25WCDD016 and 25WCDD020 targeted the prospective interaction of the Munni Munni fault and granite/ultramafic contact in the northern up plunge position of the Elizabeth Hill mineralisation. These drill intersections represent the oxidised component of the deeper, native silver and silver sulphide mineralisation (Figure 4).

Laboratory Testing All drill core from the drilling program has been cut, and half core and quarter core samples have been dispatched for laboratory analysis. The first analytical results are expected in mid-December and then progressively into January 2026. Result timeframes may vary pending on laboratory analysis requirements for further analysis of any over-grade silver mineralisation. Forward Work Plan Further evaluation of tenement wide data sets will continue as part of the Company’s ongoing target generation initiatives. An aircore drilling program has commenced targeting several high priority targets, initially commencing on the prospects immediately north and south of Elizabeth Hill. The Elizabeth Hill Project Elizabeth Hill is historically one of Australia’s highest grade silver projects and has a proven production history outlined below: •   High grades enabled low processing tonnes: 1.2Moz of silver was produced from just 16,830t of ore at a head grade of 2,194g/t (70.5 oz/t Ag)[\[3\]](https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcement/rns/alien-metals-limited-npv-di---ufo/additional-silver-confirmed-at-elizabeth-hill-/9251854#_ftn3). •   Previous mining operation ceased in 2000: because of low silver prices (US$5)[\[4\]](https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcement/rns/alien-metals-limited-npv-di---ufo/additional-silver-confirmed-at-elizabeth-hill-/9251854#_ftn4). •   Simplistic historical processing technique: native silver was recovered via low-cost gravity separation techniques. •   Untapped potential remains in ground with deposit open at depth and recent consolidation of land package offers potential to discover more Elizabeth Hill style deposits. •   Tier 1 Mining Jurisdiction located on a mining lease with potential processing option at the nearby Radio Hill site. Radio Hill is a third-party-owned processing facility; WCE has no current agreement in place.” Through the consolidation of the surrounding land packages into a single contiguous 180km2 package significant exploration and growth potential exists both near mine and regionally. The land package holds a significant portion of the Munni Munni fault system, and other fault systems subparallel to the Munni Munni fault system, which are considered prospective for Elizabeth Hill look-a-like silver deposits. ![A map of a land with blue water and white text AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://dw6uz0omxro53.cloudfront.net/3568883/a8ac60aa-85de-4bd3-818e-abe67e1fcbf2.gif) Figure 10: Elizabeth Hill Project Tenement Location. # Appendix 1: Drill hole Collar Details | | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Drill Hole ID | Easting (m) | Northing (m) | RL (mASL) | Azimuth (°) | Dip (°) | Drilled Depth(m) | | 25WCDD013 | 487027 | 7667920 | 87.44 | 270 | -60 | 38.90 | | 25WCDD014 | 487057.6 | 7667920 | 89.27 | 270 | -60 | 76.40 | | 25WCDD015 | 487055 | 7667930 | 88.47 | 270 | -60 | 76.90 | | 25WCDD016 | 487051.1 | 7667945 | 87.34 | 270 | -60 | 64.90 | | 25WCDD017 | 487040 | 7667910 | 88.20 | 270 | -60 | 66.00 | | 25WCDD018 | 487027 | 7667910 | 87.50 | 270 | -60 | 33.50 | | 25WCDD019 | 487030 | 7667955 | 86.62 | 270 | -60 | 30.40 | | [25WCDD020](https://www.nathan-river.com/20) | 487030 | 7667945 | 87.34 | 270 | -60 | 47.00 | | 25WCDD021 | 487045 | 7667955 | 86.77 | 270 | -60 | 53.00 | | 25WCDD022 | 487047 | 7667900 | 81.12 | 270 | -60 | 56.55 | | 25WCDD023 | 487110 | 7667820 | 84.18 | 270 | -60 | 221.80 | | 25WCDD024 | 487030 | 7667900 | 80.03 | 270 | -60 | 40.00 | | 25WCDD025 | 487093 | 7667825 | 82.38 | 270 | -60 | 209.90 | Note: Grid coordinate system is GDA94 Zone 50 Appendix 2: JORC Code, 2012 – Table 1 – Elizabeth Hill Diamond Drill Program, October 2025 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data (Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.) | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | Criteria | JORC Code explanation |                                                    Commentary | |   | | | | Sampling techniques | ·    Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
