Quarterly Activities Report
for period ending 31 March 2026
West Coast Silver Limited (“West Coast Silver”,“WCE”or the“Company”) has focused on delivering further
high-grade drilling results while advancing exploration and technical work programs across the Elizabeth
Hill Silver Project. During the quarter, the Company commenced an aggressive drilling program aimed at
expanding the footprint of silver mineralisation, identifying new exploration targets and progressing the
project toward resource definition and potential resource development studies. Subsequent to the quarter,
the Company released its inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate, establishing Elizabeth Hill as a high-grade
silver project and providing a clear pathway toward economic evaluation and development studies.
Elizabeth Hill Silver Project (Pilbara, Western Australia)
• During the quarter, assay results were received from the Phase 2 diamond drilling program
completed in late 2025. The results confirmed extensive high-grade silver mineralisation and
included:
• 27.4m @ 1,314 g/t Ag from 49m (hole 25WCDD014) including multiple bonanza-grade
intervals with peak grades up to 33,107 g/t Ag (1,064 oz/t) over 0.35m.
• 22m @ 578 g/t Ag from 6m in hole 25WCDD019 demonstrating mineralisation extending
northwest of previous drilling.
• Additional high-grade intercepts including 1.95m @ 1,252 g/t Ag in hole 25WCDD022.
• These results confirm the potential for a laterally extensive high-grade silver system at Elizabeth Hill
and validate historical production grades.
• A Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drilling program of up to ~4,000m commenced during the quarter
targeting extensions to the high-grade silver mineralisation at Elizabeth Hill:
• Initial drilling is focused on northern and southern extensions of the mineralised system
along the Munni Munni Fault.
• Drilling targets shallow mineralisation within ~150m of surface, supporting potential for
open-pit, low-cost resource growth.
• Program designed to expand the mineralised footprint and support delivery of a maiden
Mineral Resource Estimate.
• A late 2025 high-resolution drone magnetic survey covering approximately 14 km² was interpreted
to better define structural controls on mineralisation. Key outcomes include:
• 28 structural targets identified at interpreted fault intersections.
• Eight targets located within 1.2 km of the historical Elizabeth Hill mine.
• The Munni Munni Fault confirmed as a key mineralised structure over ~6.8 km strike.
• Additional targets identified along the eastern margin of the Munni Munni intrusion.

Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE)
• Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced an inaugural silver Mineral Resource
Estimate (MRE) for the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project comprising 141kt at 617 g/t Ag for 2.79Moz of
contained silver. The MRE establishes a high-grade foundation for the Project and confirms
mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth. A Whittle open pit optimisation supports
reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction, with the optimised pit capturing the
majority of the current mineralisation. The Company will continue drilling and geophysical
programs aimed at expanding the resource base and advancing the Project toward development
studies. Figure 1, shows the areas of drilling (underway) to expand the existing MRE. Refer labels
“2026 EH North RC Test Area” (purple) and “2026 EH Deeps DD Test Area” (blue).
Figure 1. Elizabeth Hill April 2026 MRE optimized open pit slice in long-section view. Majority of drilled and mined
mineralisation is captured within the constraining Inferred and Indicated resource pit shell. Areas of planned and in-
progress 2026 exploration drilling to expand the April 2026 MRE and optimized pit are included on long-section.
• Subsequent to quarter end, the Company commenced a diamond drilling program of up to 1,500m
targeting down-dip and down-plunge extensions of high-grade silver mineralisation beneath the
historical Elizabeth Hill mine. This program represents the first systematic test of the Company’s
structural model along the Munni Munni Fault and is aimed at confirming continuity and scale at
depth and may materially expand the Elizabeth Hill mineralised system. Drilling is expected to take
approximately four to six weeks, with assay results anticipated progressively during Q2 2026.
• Subsequent to quarter end, the Company identified a new high-priority drill target at Elizabeth Hill
following the application of Down Hole Electromagnetics (DHEM), which defined a discrete,
untested conductive plate adjacent to the historical mine. The anomaly exhibits conductance

completed at other projects during the Quarter.
West Coast Silver is pleased to present the Company’s quarterly activities report for the quarter ending 31 March
2026 (“the Quarter”).
During the Third Quarter (January – March 2026):
The primary focus of the Company’sactivities during thequarter was exploration at the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project,
where West Coast Silver continued to advance exploration and target generation following the highly encouraging
results from the 2025 diamond drilling campaign. During the period the Company released bonanza-grade silver
assay results, completed detailed geophysical surveys which identified multiple new exploration targets, and
commenced an RC drilling program of up to 4,000m designed to expand the footprint of high-grade silver
mineralisation at Elizabeth Hill.
West Coast Silver owns 70% of the historical Elizabeth Hill Silver Project (“Project”or “Elizabeth Hill”), 70% of the
silver rights across six tenements forming the Pinderi Hills Project, and 70% ownership of three additional
tenements and one tenement application surrounding the Elizabeth Hill project area. This consolidated
landholding totals approximately 180 km² and is located in the Tier-1 Pilbara mining region of Western Australia,
providing significant exploration upside along the Munni Munni structural corridor, which hosts the Elizabeth Hill
deposit.
Commenting on the quarter, Executive Chairman Bruce Garlick said:
“West Coast Silver has delivered another highly productive quarter at Elizabeth Hill, highlighted by the release of
exceptional high-grade silver drill results and the identification of multiple new exploration targets through detailed
geophysical surveys. The results continue to demonstrate that Elizabeth Hill represents part of a much larger
mineralised system.”

“The commencement of our RC drilling program marks the next step in systematically expanding the footprint of
high-grade silver mineralisation around the historic mine and testing priority targets along the Munni Munni Fault
corridor. With all targets located close to surface, success has the potential to deliver rapid resource growth.”
“With a strengthened balance sheet and an expanded technical team, including ERM consulting and Serge
Smolonogov as Technical Director, the Company is well positioned to accelerate exploration across Elizabeth Hill
and to continue growth beyond the current maiden Elizabeth Hill Mineral Resource Estimate. The work completed
this quarter reinforces our belief thatElizabeth Hill has the potentialtoemerge as one ofAustralia’s mostsignificant
high-grade silver discoveries, where by virtue of unique high grades, there is exceptional metal content in a smaller
host rock volume. This translates to fewer tonnes to be mined for a lower cost of mining and processing.”
Figure 2. Visible native silver has been qualitatively observed and assayed in drill hole 25WCDD014 from 74.60m to 75.20m in

• An RC drilling program of up to 4,000m commenced to test extensions of high-grade mineralisation
and support a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate.
• High-resolution drone magnetic survey (~14 km²) identified multiple structural targets along the
Munni Munni Fault, highlighting potential for additional mineralisation along the corridor.
Phase 2 Drill Results
During the quarter, West Coast Silver reported assay results from its Phase 2 diamond drilling program comprising
13 holes for 1,015m, designed to test near-surface mineralisation and down-plunge extensions beneath the
historical Elizabeth Hill mine workings (Figure 3).
Drilling confirmed high-grade silver mineralisation in multiple holes, with the standout result from hole
25WCDD014 returning 27.4m @ 1,314 g/t Ag from 49m, including bonanza-grade intervals up to 33,107 g/t Ag.
Additional significant intersections included 22.0m @ 578 g/t Ag (25WCDD019) and 1.95m @ 1,252 g/t Ag
(25WCDD022). Overall, 9 of the 13 drill holes intersected silver mineralisation, confirming the continuity of the
Elizabeth Hill silver system and its potential for further expansion.

2026 RC Drilling Program
An RC drilling program of up to 4,000m has commenced to test extensions of high-grade silver mineralisation north
and south of the historic mine and support a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate targeted for Q3/Q4 2026.
The RC drilling program is designed to test extensions of mineralisation along strike, as well as up-dip and down-
plunge of the historical Elizabeth Hill underground mine. Drilling is targeting areas identified from 2025 diamond
and aircore programs, including Elizabeth Hill North and South, where previous work intersected near-surface
silver mineralisation.
Drilling is expected to take approximately four to six weeks, with assay results anticipated progressively during Q2
2026.
All drill holes are designed to intersect the Munni Munni Fault, a key structural control on mineralisation,
reinforcing the scale potential of the Elizabeth Hill system.
Subsequent to quarter end, a diamond drilling program of up to ~1,500m has commenced targeting down-dip and
down-plunge extensions beneath the Elizabeth Hill mine, with planned holes shown in Figure 1 on page 2 (light
blue), complementing the current RC program (purple).
Aircore (AC) Drill Program
During the quarter, West Coast Silver completed a 76-hole aircore (“AC”) drilling program for 1,060m targeting
near-mine and regional extensions of the Elizabeth Hill mineralised system.
The drilling confirmed shallow silver mineralisation from surface and demonstrated clear strike extensions of the
system both north and south of the Elizabeth Hill mine. At Elizabeth Hill North, mineralisation extends
approximately 290m along strike from the historical workings, with multiple shallow intercepts confirming
strong continuity along the Munni Munni Fault corridor. At Elizabeth Hill South, mineralisation was confirmed
approximately 300m south of the mine, highlighting the potential for a significant southern extension of the system
(Refer Figure 4).
Aircore drilling also intersected alteration and lithologies consistent with the Elizabeth Hill mineralised setting,
including chlorite–silica alteration, carbonate veining and iron oxide staining associated with interpreted
structures. These results reinforce the interpretation that Elizabeth Hill forms part of a broader mineralised system
with potential for rapid resource growth along strike. Mineralisation interpreted to be associated with ultramafic
rocks is locally hosted within granite to the north of Elizabeth Hill, highlighting new exploration areas.
Following the success of the aircore drilling program, the Company has commenced a follow-up RC drilling
campaign of up to 4,000m to test beneath the aircore holes and target near-surface extensions of the Elizabeth
Hill mineralised system. The program is designed to expand the footprint of high-grade mineralisation and support
the progression toward a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate.

Geophysics and Target Generation
During the quarter, the Company initiated a trial geophysical program over a small area of the Elizabeth Hill mine
designed to identify extensions to high-grade silver mineralisation and refine structural controls.
The program incorporates both borehole and surface-based techniques, including:
• Downhole Electromagnetic (DHEM) and Borehole Magnetometric Resistivity (BHMMR) surveys targeting depth
extensions below and south of the historic Elizabeth Hill mine
• Ground Fixed Loop Electromagnetic (FLEM) and Induced Polarisation (IP) over the mineralised footprint
These techniques are designed to detect conductive and resistive/chargeable bodies potentially associated with
sulphide and native silver mineralisation and to identify potential extensions to known mineralised zones.
The DHEM program utilises completed 2025 diamond drill holes to test mineralisation beyond current drilling and
to calibrate geophysical responses against known mineralisation, enabling improved targeting across the broader
tenement package.

Southern Geoscience Consultants have been engaged to undertake the geophysical program.
In addition, the Company completed a high-resolution drone magnetic survey (~14 km²), which identified multiple
structural targets along the Munni Munni Fault, further supporting the interpretation of a broader mineralised
system.
The integration of drilling, geophysics and structural modelling is expected to materially enhance targeting
efficiency and support rapid resource growth along the Munni Munni corridor.

Technical Review
During the quarter the Company undertook a technical review and site visit at Elizabeth Hill with ERM and
specialist consultants to integrate drilling, geological and geophysical datasets and refine the exploration strategy.
The review focused on:
• Refining priority drill targets
• Advancing the geological and structural model
• Identifying opportunities for resource growth
• Supporting future development studies
Outcomes from the review will underpin the Company’s 2026 exploration and development strategy, including
systematic drilling and progression toward a JORC Mineral Resource Estimate.
Inaugural Elizabeth Hill Mineral Resource Estimate
Work was commenced in February by ERM Consultants on an inaugural Elizabeth Hill Mineral Resource Estimate
(MRE). The work included all historical exploration, grade control, mining and most recent 2025 / 2026 drilling
outcomes. Work included a full review of underground production and accuracy of surveyed workings and stopes
to ensureaccurate orebody depletion estimates. Thereported Inferred and Indicated resources exclude previously
mined ore and are reported above a 20 g/t Ag cut-off grade. The Elizabeth Hill April 2026 MRE outcomes follow.
When compared to the previous 2011 East Coast Minerals NL MRE completed at the same cut-off grade as the
2026 MRE, there is significant growth between the JORC 2004 and the JORC 2012 variants of the resource. There
has been significant growth through addition of additional drilling and inclusion of more accurate reconciled
underground workings allowing remnant ore to be more accurately captured in the estimate. The 2011 MRE to
JORC 2004 standards is presented below.
The variance between 2026 and 2011 is presented below with gains across reported tonnes, grade and silver
ounces.

In August 2011, P Jones from AM Maynard & Associates completed a Mineral Resource estimate which was reported in accordance with the
2004 Edition of the JORC Code. The Mineral Resource was confined to a conceptual pit design approximately 15–30 m above the presumed
location of the underground workings. According to the report “the extent of underground workings is only sketchy since at least some of the
survey data has been lost and only fragmentary data remains”, (East Coast Minerals NL, 2011 p3).

The inaugural MRE establishes Elizabeth Hill as an exceptionally high-grade silver system, where comparatively
low tonnes contain higher than industry norm metal content. The strategic importance lies in grade concentration,
value density, economic robustness, and growth optionality.
The MRE delivers:
• An inaugural publicly disclosed JORC-compliant MRE as a foundation to future growth.
• Grades that are exceptional by global peer standards.
• A clearly defined risk–reward profile driven by resource classification and expansion potential.
• Validation of open-pit economic potential well below current silver prices.
• Strong credibility from historical production performance and close reconciliation against areas mined.

mineralisation is captured within the constraining Inferred and Indicated resource pit shell. Areas of planned and in-progress
2026 exploration drilling to expand the April 2026 MRE and optimized pit are included on long-section.
The mineral resource classification split is:
• Indicated: 369 Koz (14%)
• Inferred: 2.42 Moz (86%)
The majority of mineralisation is within the Inferred resource category. To be able to be converted to Probable
reserve the Inferred resource will require tighter infill drilling to achieve an Indicated resource level of confidence.
The upside of infill drilling a high-grade deposit such as Elizabeth Hill is that there is strong likelihood of additional
higher-grade, short-range structures not intersected by broader spaced drilling being added to mineral inventory.
The April 2026 Elizabeth Hill MRE with optimized pit shell highlights that any mineralisation defined by 2026
planned near-mine exploration drilling to the north and below the optimized pit shell will be new silver ounces
outside of the current MRE and would be included as new additional mineralisation in an end of year MRE update.

2026 Outlook
West Coast Silver has outlined a clear pathway to resource growth and development at the Elizabeth Hill Silver
Project, with a major drilling and exploration campaign planned throughout 2026.
Key activities include:
• RC drilling program: An RC drilling program of up to ~4,000m is underway at Elizabeth Hill targeting near-
surface extensions of mineralisationidentified by theaircoredrilling program along the Munni Munni Fault
corridor. This follow-up drill program is expected to take approximately four to six weeks, with assay
results anticipated progressively during Q2 2026.
• Geophysics: Multi-method geophysical programs (DHEM, BHMMR, FLEM and IP) underway to refine drill
targeting and identify extensions to mineralisation both near-mine and regionally.
• Deeper drilling: A diamond drilling program targeting deeper extensions of the Elizabeth Hill mineral
system (“EH Deeps”) is planned following receipt of RC drilling results.
• Resource definition: Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced an inaugural MRE for
Elizabeth Hill of 141kt at 617 g/t Ag for 2.8Moz, confirming a high-grade system with potential for further
growth. Drilling results will support the delivery of an expanded Mineral Resource Estimate in late 2026.
• Development studies: Progress toward a scoping study will evaluate potential development pathways
for the Elizabeth Hill project.
These activities form part of a major drilling campaign planned across 2026, aimed at expanding the footprint of
high-grade mineralisation and advancing Elizabeth Hill toward resource definition and potential development
studies.

About 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)2
.
• Previous mining operation ceased in 2000: because of low silver prices (US$5/oz)3
• 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 8. Location of Project Combined Tenements
Through the consolidation of the surrounding land packages into a single contiguous 180 km2
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.

• Due to the focus on the drilling of the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project no field activities were undertaken
on the Company’s other exploration projects during the quarter.
• Subject to the undertaking of a Heritage survey Falcon Minerals Ltd (ASX: FAL) plans to commence a
maiden RC drilling at the Olsen Well gold anomaly (a 5.8 km long-soil anomaly).
The Errabiddy project comprises 3 tenements with a combined area of approximately 545 km2
and which are
considered prospective for Ni, Cu, Au, REE’s, Li and graphite. The results from routine reconnaissance
prospecting, soil sampling and rock chip sampling which was previously undertaken on the project by West Coast
Silver has resulted in an initial focus on graphite and gold.
Falcon Metals Joint Venture
Previously, West Coast Silver entered an Earn-in, Joint Venture and Mineral Rights Agreement with Falcon Metals
Ltd (ASX: FAL) (“Falcon”), granting Falcon the right to earn up to a 70% interest in Exploration Licence E09/2457 by
spending $2 million in two stages over a 60-month period, covering all minerals excluding graphite. The Errabiddy
Gold Project is a craton margin gold target, located 220 km northwest of Meekatharra in Western Australia.
The 519 km2
JV licence covers a 42 km strike extent of the Errabiddy Shear Zone, which is considered highly
prospective, remains underexplored and with no drilling for gold conducted within the project tenure. The
Errabiddy Shear Zone is a compelling cratonic margin gold target which contains known gold mineralisation.
Cratonic margins are considered prospective for the formation of large gold deposits, including the Tropicana
deposit that was discovered on the eastern margin of the Yilgarn Craton in 2005 through the follow up of a regional
public domain gold-in-soil anomaly.
West Coast Silver initially identified Olsen Well as a target from a review of public domain Bulk Leach Extractable
Gold (“BLEG”) stream sediment data that highlighted this area. Additionally, regional geochemical sampling by
the Geological Survey of Western Australia, with a 4 km spaced geochemical grid, detected a 6 ppb Au anomaly
near Olsen Well.
The sampling undertaken by West Coast Silver in 2023 revealed the Olsen Well Prospect to be a significant gold in
soil anomaly with a surface extent of at least 3 km x 1 km with a peak soil value of 234 ppb Au. The soil sampling
grid was 300m x 100m with 462 samples collected, and the anomaly coincident with quartz and iron rich rocks
hosted within a granitic terrain. This anomalous gold in soil footprint was expanded to a strike of 5.8 km by
subsequent soil sampling by JV partner Falcon Metalsi
. The Olsen Well gold target is considered by Falcon Metals
to be analogous to Benz Mining’s (ASX:BNZ) Glenburgh deposit (16.3Mt @ 1.0g/t for 510,000 ounces of gold4
) also
discovered from regional stream sampling followed by soil sampling in gneissic terrain along the northwest margin
of the Yilgarn craton.
RC drilling of the 3 km to 5.8 km, >10 ppb gold in soil anomaly at Olsen Well by the company’s JV partner Falcon
Metals (ASX:FAL) is due to commence following Heritage clearance likely in early 2026. This would be the first ever
drilling program at Olsen Well.
