About 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)1
.
• Previous mining operation ceased in 2000: because of low silver prices (US$5)2
.
• 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 oƯers potential to discover more Elizabeth Hill style deposits.
• Tier 1 Mining Jurisdiction locatedon 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.
