A West Australian Silver Story
Key Project Highlights
1. Proven Production
• Located in the Pilbara, WA on a
granted Mining Lease (ML).
• Past production over only one year
of 1.2Moz Ag from 16kt ore
(~2,194 g/t Ag head grade)1.
• Project ceased operations in 2000
due to declining silver prices of
~US$5/oz2.
• Project potential now significant
with 180km2 consolidated land
package.
2. Outstanding Geology
• A major ultramafic complex with
high-grade hits and standout
silver specimens:
•
•
11.7m @ 5,371 g/t Ag from
13m (21EHDD003).
24m @ 1,383 g/t Ag from 64m
(AMEHRC009).
•
43m @ 370 g/t Ag from 0m
(22AMC001).
•
24.8m @ 915 g/t Ag from 2m
(21EHDD001).
• Potential for repeated Elizabeth
Hill-style deposits in geology.
• Evidence of a significant silver
mineral system.
3. Growth Potential
4. Strong Market
• Mineralisation open at Elizabeth Hill.
• Silver price increase 42%4.
• No regional exploration carried out
to explore for similar high-grade
bodies - consolidated land package
now allows this – UNDERWAY.
• Silver deficit of 182Moz5 forecast
for 2024.
• Exploration/drilling approvals in
place.
• Drilling Contractor has mobilised
with Inagural drill program imminent
• pXRF surface sampling has
returned multiple high-grade silver
(Ag) results up to 920g/t1
• Growing industrial demand for
silver 5,380% in the last ten years6.
• Declining production and increased
demand creating a structural
deficit over last
four years and forecast to
continue.
• High Grade readings recorded
~300m to the north and ~150m to
the south of the known Elizabeth
Hill mineralisation envelope1

1. Proven Production
Western Australia
The Historical Elizabeth Hill Silver Mine
One of Australia’s highest grade silver mines.
• Previous mining operation ceased abruptly in 2000: due to low silver price
(US$5/oz)7.
• High grades enabled low processing tonnes: 1.2 Moz of silver was produced
from just 16,830t of ore at 2,194g/t (77.4 oz/t Ag)8.
• Simple historical processing technique: native silver was recovered using
low-cost gravity separation techniques capturing both fines and nuggets.
• Untapped potential remains in and around the historic mine site, due to
limited, ineffective drilling and now outdated geophysics.
• No systematic exploration in almost 25 years: opportunity for new near-mine
and regional discoveries.
• Tier 1 Mining Jurisdiction with processing facility opportunity at nearby Radio
Hill.

2. Outstanding Geology
Very Little Historic Exploration
High grades confirmed from more recent drilling9:
• 11.7m @ 5,371 g/t Ag from 13m (21EHDD003)
• 24m @ 1,383 g/t Ag from 64m (AMEHRC009)
• 43m @ 370 g/t Ag from 0m (22AMC001), including:
•
13m @ 1,102 g/t Ag from 16m
• 24.8m @ 915 g/t Ag from 2m (21EHDD001)
Australia’s Largest Silver Nugget, 140kg found at Elizabeth Hill
•
“The Karratha Queen” largest native silver nugget 145kg
from Elizabeth Hill, on display at The Perth Mint.
•
Measures an impressive 85 x 38 x 47cm.
•
Contains approximately 3,520 ounces of silver .

2. Outstanding Geology
New Modelling
Updated geological model suggests potential for
extensions to known mineralisation:
• Munni Munni fault: considered prospective for repetitive
silver deposits/pods.
• High grade historic lodes: six lodes are recognised
underground within the Historic Elizabeth Hill Mine
mineralised envelope.
• Basal Munni Munni Intrusion: the basal contact of Munni
Munni Mafic Intrusion reports anomalous silver in soils over
2km strike.
• Broader surface anomalies: numerous surface silver
anomalies associated with NNE trending structures
sympathetic to Munni Munni fault.

3. Significant Growth Potential - Regional
Where is the next Elizabeth Hill?
• Multiple look-a-like geological structures with similar
characteristics to Elizabeth Hill – untested.
• Historical geochemistry carried out exploring for Lithium
returned anomalous readings for Ag – all untested.
• Walk up targets to explore for Elizabeth Hill style
mineralisation.
• Prospect for multiple Elizabeth Hill style mineralised
bodies based on geological setting.
• WCE has engaged ERM Consultants to assist with technical
and project management.

3. Significant Growth Potential – Proven by recent works
Where is the next Elizabeth Hill?
• pXRF surface sampling has returned multiple high-grade
silver (Ag) results up to 920g/t
• Gossanous and ferruginous float has generated new
potential Silver (Ag) target areas nearby the historic
Elizabeth Hill mine
• High Grade readings have been recorded ~300m to the
north and ~150m to the south of the known Elizabeth Hill
mineralisation envelope and correlate with the location of the
Munni Munni Fault system
• Further exploration now planned, including trenching,
additional sampling and metal detecting
