West Coast Silver reports major drilling success. The company found high-grade silver. This happened at the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project. It is located in Western Australia. The results come from Phase 2 drilling. These findings show a strong silver system.
Exceptional Drill Results Unveiled
The latest diamond drill results are exceptional. Drill hole 25WCDD014 hit a significant intercept. It measured 27.4 meters at 1,314 grams per tonne of silver. This started from a depth of 49 meters. The intercept included bonanza-grade sections. These reached up to 33,107 grams per tonne of silver. This incredible grade was found over 0.35 meters.
Other holes also showed strong results. Drill hole 25WCDD019 returned 22 meters at 578 g/t silver. This intercept started from only 6 meters depth. Drill hole 25WCDD020 yielded 25.8 meters at 151 g/t silver. This started at 20 meters depth. In total, nine of thirteen diamond drill holes showed significant silver mineralization.
Project Background and Potential
The Elizabeth Hill Silver Project has a rich history. It has produced 1.2 million ounces of silver. This production came from 16,830 tonnes of ore. The head grade was an impressive 2,194 g/t silver. Mining stopped in 2000. Low silver prices caused the closure. The project is in the Pilbara region. This area is known for its mineral wealth. West Coast Silver now holds a 70% interest. Alien Metals Limited holds the remaining 30%.
Expanding the Mineralized System
These new results expand the known silver system. Hole 25WCDD019 shows mineralization furthest northwest yet. This indicates the system is open along strike. It could extend further than previously thought.
Furthermore, some results came from granite host rocks. Holes 25WCDD019 and 25WCDD020 showed this. This differs from prior mineralization. Most previous findings were in ultramafic rocks. This discovery opens new exploration possibilities west of the main zone.
Company Strategy and Future Exploration
West Coast Silver is focused on unlocking Elizabeth Hill’s potential. The company secured substantial funding. It raised $6.125 million through a placement. This capital will accelerate exploration efforts. Executive Chairman Bruce Garlick stated there is immense scope. He sees potential to grow and explore the project.
Additional aircore drill results are expected soon. These should arrive by mid-February. Follow-up drilling is planned. This will target extensions of the high-grade mineralization. The company is confident in the project’s scale. It looks forward to further exploration in 2026. This news offers significant potential for West Coast Silver. It highlights Elizabeth Hill’s status. It is one of Australia’s highest-grade silver projects. This editorial marks a key development. The future exploration plans are promising. This is important news for the mining sector. The West Australian Pilbara region is a prime mining locale.
