Highlights:
• Updated JORC 2012 Mineral Resource of 3.36 Moz Ag at 446 g/t Ag in
234.7 kt (20 g/t Ag cut-off; 100% basis).
• Contained silver up 20.3% (+568 koz) on the April 2026 MRE.
• Mineral Resource tonnage increased 66.5% (+93.7 kt) to 234.7 kt. The
inclusion of additional lower-grade material reduced the average
silver grade by 27.7%, from 617 g/t Ag to 446 g/t Ag.
• Resource confidence lifted with 2.59 Moz Ag (77%) of contained silver
now at Indicated level of confidence, up from 369 koz (13%) in April
2026.
• High-grade core contains approximately 95% of the reported silver. At
a 60 g/t Ag sensitivity cut-off, the combined Indicated and Inferred
Mineral Resource is 74.7 kt at 1,333 g/t Ag for 3.20 Moz Ag (Table 3).
• Growth reflects a revised geological interpretation and updated
estimation incorporating 2026 drilling.
• Follow-up drilling1
to test extensions on the north-west of the
mineralised system and at Elizabeth Hill Deeps has commenced,
targeting potential resource growth.
• Targeted infill drilling, geotechnical, engineering, metallurgy and
scoping-level studies have commenced as the next technical
priorities.
West Coast Silver Limited (ASX: WCE) (‘West Coast Silver’ or the ‘Company’) announces an
updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for its Elizabeth Hill Silver Project, located south of Karratha
in Western Australia. The estimate was prepared by Dmitry Pertel, MAIG, in accordance with the JORC
Code (2012).

The updated estimate provides a materially increased silver inventory and a substantially greater
proportion of Indicated Mineral Resources, establishing a stronger technical basis for further
exploration and development evaluation2
.
Commenting on the updated MRE, Chief Executive Officer Sergei Smolonogov said:
“The updated Elizabeth Hill Resource estimate is a significant milestone for West Coast Silver, with the
Elizabeth Hill silver system increasing to 3.36 million ounces of silver, with approximately 77% of
contained silver now classified as Indicated. The increased level of confidence supports West Coast
Silver advancing to a Scoping Study that will provide shareholders and the market the first snapshot of
potential Project economics and development options. West Coast Silver has already commenced
metallurgical, geotechnical and engineering studies that will be part of the baseline of the Scoping-level
assessment.
The new MRE block model highlights not only existing growth, but areas for further potential
mineralisation expansion. The north-west extension is included in the updated Mineral Resource as
Inferred, and follow-up drilling is underway to test its continuity and extent. Elizabeth Hill Deeps remains
unclassified and is excluded from the current estimate. Follow-up drilling has also commenced at
Deeps to assess its potential for future resource growth.
We aim to further improve resource confidence and add silver ounces, with a further MRE update
targeted for March 2027 ahead of the maiden Elizabeth Hill Scoping Study.”
Mineral Resource Estimate Grows 20% to 3.36Moz
The updated Mineral Resource totals 234.7 kt at 446 g/t Ag for 3.36 Moz of contained silver at a 20 g/t Ag
reporting cut-off (100% basis). The estimate is constrained by a conceptual open-pit shell and depleted
for historically mined underground workings and stopes. The resource is reported on a dry-tonnage
basis3

Resource Growth and Increased Geological Confidence
The updated MRE increases contained silver by approximately 568 koz, or 20.3%, from the April 2026
estimate of 2.795 Moz. The resource tonnage rises by approximately 93.7 kt (+66.5%). Average grade
declines from 617 g/t Ag to 446g/t Ag,reflecting theinclusion of lower-grademineralised material within

the revised interpretation. Material grading 20 to 30 g/t Ag accounts for most of the additional tonnes
but only around 76 koz of contained silver. At a 30 g/t Ag cut-off the model reports 140.9 kt at 726 g/t Ag
for 3.29 Moz (Table 3).
Increased geological confidence is reflected in the increase in Indicated resources from 13% in April
2026 to 77% in November 2026. The Indicated resource represents mineralisation and geology drilled
on a tight spacing of ~5m x 5m. The close-spaced drilling provides grade continuity in a mineralised
system where resource estimation statistics indicate there is high variability. The silver nugget effect is
close to 50% of the total sill in semi-variograms. At this Indicated resource definition spacing, there is
sufficient confidence to assume geological and grade continuity4

High-Grade Core Within a Larger Resource
The silver resource comprises a high-grade lower tonnage core (95% of ounces within 74.7 kt grading
1,333 g/t Ag at a 60 g/t Ag sensitivity cut-off (Table 3) surrounded by a lower grade larger tonnage. This
grade-tonnage configuration provides optionality in assessing potential development pathways. The
lower grade, larger tonnage sits around a higher grade, lower tonnage centre. This may increase the
range of options available for technical assessment, but it does not establish mine life, processing
rates, recoveries or project value. Importantly, the updated Mineral Resource has been reported using
consistent pit optimisation assumptions to the April 2026 estimate, providing a comparable economic
basis for assessing the 20% increase in contained silver. The difference could be explained by the
updated modelling techniques (implicit that was used by ERM vs explicit manual interpretation), and
additional drilling that was completed between April and September 2026. The updated Mineral
Resource Estimate incorporated 46 additional drillholes (4,728 m) and 3,952 additional silver assays.
Geotechnical and engineering studies are in progress for Elizabeth Hill specific pit slope parameters
that will optimise future pit designs constraining MREs.

What Has Changed in the Geological Model
An additional 46drill holes totalling 4,725.7 m of reverse circulation (RC) anddiamond core drilling were
added since the reporting of the April 2026 MRE. RC drilling contributed 32 holes for 2,710 m. Diamond
coring contributed 14 holes for 2,015.7 m. Drilling added new assay data and geological data to the
north and northwest, as well as new data from above and below the April 2026 MRE. A number of infill
holes pierced the April 2026 MRE adding new resource ounces and converting existing Inferred to
Indicated resources within and external to the previous MRE block model6
. Drilling included the
discovery of the new Elizabeth Hill Deeps mineralised zone which is not included in this resource
estimate as requires further drilling to be included as an Inferred resource7
.
The updated November Mineral Resource incorporates a revised mineralisation interpretation and
estimation domains. The updated wireframe volume increased from approximately 85,673 m³ to
117,114 m³ (+36.7%), with material previously outside the April mineralisation wireframes now
captured by the new geological interpretation. Revised compositing, domain selection, ordinary kriging
estimation and a slightly different conceptual pit constraint also affect the comparison.
The 568 koz silver resource increase is attributable to a combination of new 2026 drilling results,
geological interpretation changes and refinements in estimation methodology.
The new resource classification incorporates historical underground drilling information. There has
been no change in depleted volumes between April and November 2026 MRE updates.
The increased Indicated resource estimate reflects the geological and data-confidence assessment
adopted for the updated estimate, as described in JORC Table 1 (Appendix A).

The previous wireframe model for mineralisation did not include a considerable number of grades above
the selected cut-off grade of > 20 g/t Ag. The current model was updated by creating a manual
interpretation and wireframe models that captured all grade composites. This increased the modelled
tonnage within the mineralised zones. Average grades as a consequence were reduced because the
new wireframes captured low grades that were not included in the previous April 2026 model.
Silver Grade–Tonnage Sensitivity
The resource is reported at a 20 g/t Ag cut-off. At a sensitivity of 60 g/t Ag, the depleted and open-pit-
constrained model contains approximately 3.201 Moz silver in 74.7 kt grading 1,333 g/t Ag. This
corresponds to approximately 95.2% of the total contained ounces in 31.8% of the tonnes reported at
the 20 g/t cut-off.

Conceptual Open-pit Constraint and RPEEE
The Mineral Resource is constrained by an optimised conceptual pit shell to support the assessment of
reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (RPEEE). The modelled shell is approximately
220 m long, 210 m wide and 105 m deep. It is not a designed pit, a mine plan, a reserve estimate or a
demonstration of economic extraction.
The pit optimisation uses an indicative A$86/oz silver price, a 46° overall pit slope, 5% dilution, 5%
mining loss and a nominal processing-cost assumption of A$45.57/t. The 90% recovery assumption
was informed by historical AMMTEC testwork on mine production samples undertaken between 1998
and 2000, which reported recoveries above 90%. The overall pit slope of 46° was retained for
conceptual optimisation in the absence of site-specific geotechnical data. Processing assumptions,
including recovery, remain subject to metallurgical validation. The November 2026 pit optimisation was
completed using the industry-standard Lerchs–Grossmann algorithm, applying substantially the same
economic assumptions as ERM’s April 2026 estimate (see the Company’s ASX announcement dated
22 April 2026). These include an A$86/oz silver price, 90% assumed metallurgical recovery, A$4.50/t
mining cost, A$45.57/t processing cost and an overall pit slope of 46°.
The updated block model incorporates smaller parent cells and an expanded mineralisation
interpretation, resulting in a smoother conceptual pit shell that captures additional mineralised
material. The revised pit shell remains broadly comparable to the April 2026 optimisation.

Elizabeth Hill Silver Project and Deposit Geology
Elizabeth Hill is located approximately 45 km south of Karratha on granted Mining Lease M47/342 in the
West Pilbara. WCE holds a 70% interest in M47/342, with Alien Metals Limited holding the remaining
30% (see Ownership and attributable metal).

High-grade native silver occurs with silica-carbonate veining and alteration. Historical production was
approximately 1.19 Moz silver from 16,830 tonnes grading 2,194 g/t Ag, with underground production
ceasing in 200011
.
The project is located in the Archaean granite-greenstone terrane of the North Pilbara. It is part of the
Mesoarchaean West Pilbara Superterrane (WPS; ca. 3.2 Ga to ca. 2.93 Ga). The WPS is exposed from
the Mallina Basin in the east to the unconformity to the Fortescue Group to the southwest. Within the
WPS, the project is located within and adjacent to the layered mafic-ultramafic intrusion of the Munni
Munni Complex (MMC – ca. 2,925 Ma). The MMC intruded into 3,130 Ma to 2,944 Ma granitic crust
(Cherrata Granite Complex) during late stages of terrane amalgamation.

The Munni Munni Fault (MMF) offsets the contact between the MMC and the footwall granites with
approximately 600m of sinistral offset at surface. The MMF and other north-northeast trending faults do
not offset the unconformity and basal unit of the Fortescue Group (Hardey Formation ca. 2,766Ma-
2,749Ma) overlying the WPS. This places a minimum age on the structural formation of the Elizabeth
Hill deposit within the fault zone.
The Elizabeth Hill silver mineralisation is structurally controlled and is located on the north-south
trending MMF within a zone around and along the structural contact between the MMC and the granite
footwall to the MMC.

Mineralisation has been intersected over a 160m north-south zone along the boundary of the MMF,

high-grade core centred on the granite-ultramafic contact within the Munni Munni Fault zone (MMFZ).
The Elizabeth Hill silver mineralisation is a distinctive deposit style in the Pilbara, comprising high-grade
structurally controlled hydrothermal native silver and silver-sulphide mineralisation. The mineralised
zone is separated into several discrete zones and occurs within a quartz carbonate chalcedonic silica
alteration that locally shows veining, brecciation and fracture fill. The silver occurs in fine
disseminations, needles, veins, nuggets and platelets up to several centimetres in diameter.
Analogues have been drawn between Elizabeth Hill and such mineralised systems as the hydrothermal
Co-Ni-Ag-Au-Cu systems in the Bou Azzer Inlier of the Anti-Atlas in Morocco and the hydrothermal Ag-
Co-Ni vein systems of Cobalt, Ontario, Canada. These systems comprise many contemporaneous and
cogenetic, yet individual ore systems in clusters within areas comparable in scale to the North Pilbara
region. At Elizabeth Hill there are other metallic mineral intersections in drilling peripheral and within
the native silver dominant system with structurally controlled hydrothermal veins of Ni, Cu, Pb and Zn
mineralisation. The relationship of the native silver mineralisation to these other hydrothermal systems
is a matter of ongoing exploration.

Resource Model Inputs and Classification
The updated Mineral Resource estimate was built from interpreted silver mineralisation wireframes and
a three-dimensional block model with 2.5 m × 2.5 m × 5 m parent cells and sub-celling. Forty-four (44)
silver mineralisation zones were modelled at a nominal 20 g/t Ag interpretation threshold. Drillhole and
underground channel samples were composited to onemetre, and ordinarykriging estimation methods
were applied with high-grade indicator domains and capping. Block-model estimates underwent visual

and statistical validation.
The technical report records 353 drillholes and 314 underground channels defining the deposit area, of
which 212 drillholes and 197 underground channels were used in the updated estimation; not all
database holes intersect the mineralised zones. Resource classification considered drill spacing,
geological interpretation, estimation confidence and the historical underground datasets. The
Competent Person’s full methodology and QA/QC assessment are summarised in the accompanying
JORC Table 1.
Bulk densities of 2.75 t/m³ for fresh rock and 2.63 t/m³ for oxide zones were assigned. The Technical
Report recommends additional density sampling and continuation of routine assay QA/QC
programmes, including selected independent laboratory checks13
.
Further Resource Growth and Exploration Opportunities
Granite-Hosted Silver – North-West Extension
A mineralised zone on the north-west extension of the deposit is supported by one exploration line and
remains in the Inferred category. Follow-up drilling has commenced to test continuity, potential
extension and whether further material can ultimately be upgraded in classification (Figure 10).

extension (purple) relative to the main mineralised bodies (green) and Elizabeth Hill Deeps (red). Source: Dmitry
Pertel’s internal November 2026 Elizabeth Hill technical report.
The NW extension is included in the November 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate as Inferred material
and represents an opportunity for further resource definition and potential growth. Additional drilling is
required to improve geological confidence, support potential conversion to the Indicated category and

test extensions to the mineralisation. Drilling has commenced in H2 2026 to extend and infill drill the
identified area of the NW extension.
Elizabeth Hill Deeps
Additional mineralisation referred to as Elizabeth Hill Deeps is interpreted at approximately −68 m RL
beneath the main deposit, based on three intersections (Figure 11). The new zone of mineralisation lies
below and south of historically mined areas. The area is currently unclassified and excluded from the
3.363 Moz Ag Mineral Resource. Additional drilling is required to test continuity and establish whether
any Mineral Resource can be defined. No underground mining scenario or additional ounces are
reported for Elizabeth Hill Deeps. Drilling has commenced in H2 2026 to test and extend the Elizabeth
Hill Deeps mineralisation.
Figure 11. Elizabeth Hill Deeps interpreted mineralised body relative to the model and drill traces. Elizabeth Hill
Deeps remains unclassified and is excluded from the resource estimate. Further drilling is underway to test for
and define further mineralisation14.
Additional Technical Evaluation
The Competent Person recommends focused north-west infill drilling; verification of historical working
voids and underground data; further bulk-density measurements; additional umpire laboratory QA/QC;
metallurgical testing; oxide zone domain definition; and a scoping-level mining assessment.
Timing, scope and budgets for these programmes remain subject to technical planning and Board
approval where not already included as part of existing Scoping Study test work.

ASX Listing Rule 5.8 Disclosure - Summary
Geology and Geological Interpretation
Mineralisation is hosted along the Munni Munni Fault, at its contact with altered ultramafic and
granitoid units. The great majority of mineralisation is localised in a structure that juxtaposes ultramafic
against granite. Granite-granite juxtaposition on either side of the fault has only relatively minor silver
mineralisation. However, this remains an area of active current exploration and previous conclusions
may be influenced by exploration that has concentrated solely on that granite ultramafic association,
without examining possibilities beyond that relationship.
Within the mineralised zone, silver is intimately associated with silica-carbonate veining and alteration.
High grade silver mineralisation often forms nuggetty networks of native silver adjacent to areas of
intense carbonate veining in both ultramafic (dominantly) and granite (subordinately). Greater
geological detail is provided in the prior sections –‘Elizabeth Hill Silver Project and Deposit Geology’;
‘WhatHas Changed intheGeological Model’; ‘Further Resource Growth and Exploration Opportunities’;
and ‘Appendix A – JORC Table 1’.
The updated resource model comprises 44 interpreted silver wireframes that account for the
structurally controlled, locally very high-grade and nuggetty style of native silver mineralisation.
Substantial local variation in grade requires appropriate treatment of high-grade populations.
The interpretation and wireframes were generated interactively for 28 west-east orientated cross
sections using 20 g/t Ag cut-off grade. Examples of four (4) resource sections (Figures 13 to 16),
referenced to plan view (Figure 12) follow.

Sampling, Drilling and Estimation
The source dataset includes modern and historical RC, diamond drilling and underground channel
sampling.
Reverse circulation (RC) drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples. Diamond core (DC) drilling was also
undertaken, with half-core samples collected under geological supervision. Sample intervals were
determined by geological contacts, up to a maximum length of 1 m.
Sample Analysis Method
Samples were analysed at ALS Perth for 48 elements using four-acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish.
Samples exceeding the upper silver detection limit (>100 g/t Ag) were reanalysed at ALS Perth using ore-
grade four-acid methods Ag-OG62, ME-OG62, Pb-OG62 and Zn-OG62. Samples grading >1,500 g/t Ag
were analysed at ALS Langley, Canada, by 30 g fire assay with a gravimetric finish (Ag-GRA21). Samples
grading >10,000 g/t Ag were further analysed at ALS Langley using the silver concentrate method (Ag-

Silver grades were interpolated into the block model using ordinary kriging (OK) within the indicator
grade domains defined at 100 g/t and 2,000 g/t Ag cut-offs. Silver grades were interpolated with
application of a top-cut to the grades following statistical analysis. Based on statistical analysis, a top-
cut of 53,000 g/t Ag was applied to all composites to reduce the influence of outlier grades on local
estimates.

Each modelled grade domain was estimated separately using corresponding sample composites. Hard
boundaries were used between the domains. A ‘parent block’ estimation technique was used where
sub-cells within each parent block were informed with the same grade. Each modelled mineralised
body was estimated separately using corresponding sample composites.
The OK interpolation method was performed at consecutive expanded anisotropic search radii until all
cells were interpolated. The search radii were determined by means of evaluation of the modelled
variograms and the general strike of the deposit.
