New Priority Silver Target Adjacent Elizabeth Hill
Alien Metals Limited announces that its joint venture partner at the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project has been granted Prospecting Licence P47/2033, covering the Elizabeth Hill West Prospect immediately adjacent to the existing mine lease. Historical exploration at this new prospect returned promising results, including 5 metres at 5.2 g/t Ag and 1 metre at 11 g/t Ag from shallow drilling, along with copper and palladium. This addition strengthens the exploration pipeline with new targets for silver, copper, nickel, and palladium within 1 km of the historical mine. Alien Metals holds a 30% interest in the project and approximately 7.0% in West Coast Silver.

Alien Metals Limited (AIM: UFO), a minerals exploration and development company, announces that its joint venture partner in the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project ("Elizabeth Hill"), West Coast Silver Limited ("West Coast Silver") (ASX: WCE), has today announced the recent grant of Prospecting Licence P47/2033, covering the Elizabeth Hill West Prospect ("EHW"), immediately adjacent to Mining Lease M47/342, host to the Elizabeth Hill Silver Mine.
Highlights:
| · | Newly granted Prospecting Licence P47/2033, covering the Elizabeth Hill West (EHW) Prospect, provides WCE with exploration ground immediately adjacent to Elizabeth Hill Mine Lease M47/342. |
| · | Historical trenching returned 5 m @ 5.2 g/t Ag, 19,000 ppm Cu and 220 ppb Pd, and shallow reverse circulation (RC) drilling returned 1 m @ 11 g/t Ag from 65m. |
| · | The addition of EHW strengthens WCE’s expanding exploration pipeline around the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project by adding a new priority near-mine exploration prospect 1 . |
| · | EHW adds new silver (Ag), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni) and palladium (Pd) hosting targets to the West Coast Silver exploration pipeline within 1 km of the historical Elizabeth Hill silver mine and the mineralised Munni Munni Fault Zone (MMFZ). |
| · | Sparsely tested structures and geological settings across EHW, coincident with coherent silver anomalism in soil geochemistry, have characteristics similar to those recognised at Elizabeth Hill. |
| · | Historical drilling provides an opportunity for WCE to reassess previously drilled areas through a more systematic silver-focused exploration program. |
| · | WCE intends to systematically advance EHW through data consolidation, reinterpretation, field validation, targeted geophysics and target definition ahead of potential first-pass drilling. |
