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.7.‗.Tenement.Location
West Coast Silver has consolidated a contiguous 180km2
package surrounding the historic Elizabeth
Hill silver mine, with significant exploration and growth potential both near-mine and regionally. West
Coast Silver’s considerable tenure encompasses a significant portion of the Munni Munni fault system,
as well as other fault systems subparallel to the Munni Munni fault system, which are considered
prospective for Elizabeth Hill look-a-like silver deposits.
