#ASXNews | Elizabeth Hill Silver Project expands in scale
West Coast Silver (ASX: WCE) has confirmed significant silver mineralisation extending up to 70m beyond the April 2026 maiden resource boundary at its Elizabeth Hill Silver Project in WA's Pilbara - with the system remaining open at depth and along strike.
Results are in for the first 17 of 32 RC holes drilled in May 2026:
- 60m @ 25 g/t Ag from surface, including 19m @ 31 g/t Ag (26WCRC004)
- 26m @ 31 g/t Ag from 4m (26WCRC002, ended in mineralisation)
- 1m @ 157 g/t Ag from surface (26WCRC011)
- 2m @ 96 g/t Ag from 91m (26WCRC012)
Grade and width both increase with depth across the strongest section, and two holes terminated in mineralisation due to difficult ground - diamond drilling is now underway below them.
The majority of new mineralisation sits outside the April 2026 MRE. Grades are consistent with peer open-pit silver resources, and at this scale, the next MRE update should deliver meaningful growth in both tonnes and ounces.
Silver hosted in granite -not just ultramafic rock - expands the system's prospectivity beyond a single host rock type. High-grade lead flanking the silver zones (up to 1.66% Pb) is a known pathfinder at Elizabeth Hill, pointing to higher-grade silver potential further north along the Munni Munni Fault Zone.
15 holes are still pending assay, including 26WCRC023, which logged 72m of altered fault zone - the widest intersection drilled to date at Elizabeth Hill North.
