en.Wedoany.com Reported - A technical review by West Coast Silver (ASX:WCE) has found that its Elizabeth Hill project in Western Australia exhibits geological characteristics similar to globally recognized five-element silver deposits.
Geological consultant David Lewis completed the technical review, identifying geological similarities between Elizabeth Hill and globally recognized five-element silver deposits. The review highlighted the project's potential for five-element silver, arsenic, cobalt, nickel, and bismuth mineralization systems, a deposit type known for high-grade silver and aggregated mineralization.
West Coast Silver Executive Chairman Bruce Garlick stated that this geological interpretation provides a framework for understanding the region's geology and guides a more systematic exploration approach. Garlick noted that the work supports the premise that more Elizabeth Hill deposits may exist in the area, as this mineralization type tends to recur.
Lewis pointed out that Elizabeth Hill has strong structural and chemical similarities to historical mining camps such as Cobalt. The Cobalt mining district holds approximately 550 million ounces of silver resources. The company also highlighted similarities to other major five-element silver districts, including Thunder Bay and Great Bear Lake in Canada, Germany's Freiburg/Erzgebirge, Norway's Kongsberg, and Morocco's Bou Azzer.
The Elizabeth Hill project is located in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia and has historically produced 1.2 million ounces of silver from 16,830 tonnes of ore at a head grade of 2,194 g/t. The project currently hosts 2.8 million ounces of silver resources, with potential for extension at depth and along strike.
West Coast Silver has planned an exploration program for the second half of 2026, including geophysical surveys and drilling northward toward Maitland and southward toward Elizabeth Hill South. The company also expects to complete the analysis of unprocessed samples from its completed drilling program in the fourth quarter of 2026 and incorporate the results into an updated mineral resource estimate for Elizabeth Hill.
West Coast Silver is a mineral exploration company focused on discovering and developing silver deposits.
