OVER $6 MILLION RAISED TO ACCELERATE
EXPLORATION AT ELIZABETH HILL
Highlights
• West Coast has received firm commitments totaling $6.125 million via a share
placement to a broad range of new institutional and sophisticated investors.
• The Placement was priced at $0.11 per share representing a premium of
0.04% to the 15-day VWAP to 21 July 2025.
• The Placement was also extremely well-supported with strong demand from
existing investors, resulting in applications being scaled back.
• Following a highly successful start to its drilling campaign at the Elizabeth Hill
Project Bay and the identification of near surface mineralisation in initial drill
holes, the Company is planning an immediate follow up campaign around
Elizabeth Hill and regionally.
• Funds from the placement will be used for further drilling at Elizabeth Hill,
quantification of near surface mineralisation and commencement of near
mine target drilling.
• CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd acted as the Lead Manager to the placement.
Commenting on placement, Executive Chairman Bruce Garlick said:
“We have been generating outstanding results at Elizabeth Hill and the proceeds of this capital raising
will enable us to unlock the value much faster.
There is clearly immense scope to grow and further explore the project both near mine and regionally.
Given this potential, we want to move as quickly as possible on the exploration front and the successful
placement allows us to do this. We welcome new shareholders and thank our existing for their continues
support.”
West Coast Silver Limited (ASX: WCE) (‘West Coast Silver’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to advise it
has received firm commitments from new institutional and new and existing sophisticated and
professional investors to raise $6.125 million (before costs) by way of a placement of shares.

The Elizabeth Hill Project
Elizabeth Hill is one of Australia’s high-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 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.
Figure 1 – Location of Project Combined Tenements
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 which is considered
prospective for Elizabeth Hill look-a-like silver deposits.
