Aircore Program Underway at Elizabeth Hill
Near-Mine Targets
• Phase 2 diamond program at Elizabeth Hill completed (1,015 m), including
intersections of visible native silver1
- assays pending.
• ~2,500m aircore program commencing to test for extensions/repeats of the Elizabeth
Hill silver system north and south of the historic mine and along the eastern Munni
Munni margin.
• New drone magnetics combined with geochemistry and TEM datasets have sharpened
structural targets to improve exploration targeting.
• Near-mine targets (including, high-priority NM1 and NM5 targets) are supported by
historical high-grade silver intercepts, including:
• 4 m @ 60 g/t Ag from surface (22AMC011)
• 1 m @ 250 g/t Ag from 118 m (AG43)
• 2 m @ 1,550 g/t Ag from 108 m (AMEHRC012)2
• First samples dispatched to the laboratory; further diamond core cutting in progress -
assays pending.
West Coast Silver Limited (ASX: WCE) West Coast or the Company has commenced a ~2,500m
aircore program at the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project Elizabeth Hill, to define targets surrounding the
historical mine and along the eastern Munni Munni margin. The program follows completion of a 1,015m
Phase 2 diamond campaign at Elizabeth Hill (testing near-surface high-grade mineralisation, and
prospective areas at depth below historical workings), that intersected visible native silver1
, for which
assays are pending.
The near-mine aircore program aims to (i) confirm structural/stratigraphic controls highlighted by
drone magnetics and other integrated geoscientific data and (ii) identify zones of anomalous
silver for RC/diamond follow-up. Aircore provides rapid, cost-eƯective coverage to prioritise potential
high-grade extensions and shoots adjacent to the historical workings. Aircore targets are highlighted in
Figures 1 and 2.

Commenting on the aircore program, Executive Director Bruce Garlick commented:
“We’re moving quickly to test extensions and potential repeats of Elizabeth Hill around the historical
mine and along the Munni Munni margin - aiming to add ounces/grade proximal to existing mine
infrastructure in support of our resource growth path. Guided by drone magnetics and other integrated
geoscientific datasets, we now have a clear structural picture around Elizabeth Hill and a tight set of
targets north and south of the mine. This aircore program will pinpoint the best positions for further RC
and diamond drilling.”

FORWARD WORK PLAN
Further evaluation of tenement wide data sets will continue as part of the Company’s ongoing target
generation initiatives:
• Complete AC drilling, process assays and update target ranking.
• Plan and permit RC/diamond follow-up on AC anomalies and along priority structures.
• Continue tenement-wide targeting using integrated geoscience datasets.
THE ELIZABETH HILL SILVER PROJECT
Elizabeth Hill is one of Australia’s highest-grade historic silver mines, producing ~1.2 Moz Ag from
~16,830 t at 2,194 g/t Ag to 2000 (operations ceased due to low silver price). The deposit remains open
at depth, and West Coast now controls a contiguous ~180 km² land position over key Munni Munni
structures. Radio Hill is a third-party processing site; West Coast has no current agreement in place.
• 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)3
.
• Previous mining operation ceased in 2000: because of low silver prices (US$5)4
.
• 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 located on 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.

Appendix 1
JORC Code, 2012 – Table 1 – West Coast Silver Geophysics & Soil geochemistry - Elizabeth Hill Project
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques • Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals
under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public
Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively
simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from
which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases,
more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Surface Samples:
• Soil samples were collected from 10cm to 15cm depth and sieved
initially in a 10mm stainless steel sieve followed by 0.8mm mesh
flexistack sieve to collect approximately 200g-300g of primary
sample.
• Samples were analysed at the ALS Geochemistry laboratory in
Perth by method ME-MS61L.
Geophysical Surveys:
• LOUPE TEM surveys have been undertaken at the Elizabeth Hill
Project to identify conductivity anomalies associated with
sulphide mineralisation Surveys were conducted over the
historical Munni Munni Silver mine, and Munni Munni fault
contact along strike that contains regional targets.
• Some of the surveying was completed over historical fixed loop
TEM conductor anomalies from surveys completed in 2004.
• LOUPE TEM surveys are a surface profiling technique designed to
map near surface conductivity structure from the surface to 20 or
30m below ground level.

results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill
holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the
drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth o hole length.
• If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is
not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the
report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case
• No drilling is being reported.
Data aggregation
methods
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g., cutting of high grades) and cut-oƯ grades are
usually Material and should be stated.
• Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and
longer lengths of low-grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
• The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated
• Assays reported are as received from the laboratory.
• No metal equivalent values have been reported.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
• If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known,
its nature should be reported.
• If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a
clear statement to this eƯect (e.g., ‘down hole length, true width not known’).
• No drilling is being reported.
Diagrams • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should
be included for any significant discovery being reported. These should include,
but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.
• Appropriate maps and figures have been included in this
announcement.
Balanced reporting • Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results
• All relevant and material exploration data to highlight the
regional target areas discussed have been reported or
referenced.
