Full Summary

West Coast Silver Limited (ASX: WCE) has announced further assay results from the Elizabeth Hill North and Elizabeth Hill Deeps diamond drill programs. Diamond drilling has extended and defined a broad near-surface silver zone, with significant intersections including 67.1m @ 19 g/t Ag from surface. The mineralised zone remains open in all directions, with potential to add volume and contained metal to the current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). Further drilling is planned for H2 2026 to advance conversion of Inferred to Indicated resources and define the new high-grade zone below historical mining. Final diamond core assays are expected by the end of August 2026, with results feeding an updated JORC 2012 MRE in Q4 2026 and the Elizabeth Hill Scoping Study.
