Regional Geophysics Targets Elizabeth Hill Repeats
Alien Metals Limited's joint venture partner, West Coast Silver, has commenced an extensive geophysical survey across approximately 4 km of the Munni Munni Fault Zone at the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project, aiming to identify potential repeats of the high-grade silver system which historically produced 1.2 Moz at 2,194 g/t Ag. The survey, which began at Elizabeth Hill South where previous drilling returned 2m at 1,550 g/t Ag, is expected to take four weeks and will be followed by data processing to prioritize drill targets for the first half of 2027. Alien Metals holds a 30% interest in the project, free carried until a decision to mine is announced, and also owns 30.5 million shares 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, West Coast Silver Limited (ASX: WCE) ("West Coast Silver"), has today announced the commencement of an induced polarisation ("IP") and controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotelluric ("CSAMT") geophysical survey along the Munni Munni Fault Zone ("MMFZ") at the high-grade Elizabeth Hill Silver Project ("Elizabeth Hill") in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Highlights:
| | An extensive IP and CSAMT geophysics program is underway across ~4 km of the Munni Munni Fault Zone (MMFZ), searching for potential repeats of the high-grade Elizabeth Hill silver system, which historically produced 1.2 Moz @ 2,194 g/t Ag 1 . |
| | Surveying has commenced at Elizabeth Hill South, where historic drilling returned 2 m @ 1,550 g/t Ag from 108 m in hole AMEHRC012 and 1 m @ 250 g/t Ag from 118 m in hole AG43 2 . |
| | Previous IP testing successfully identified a chargeability response coincident with the Elizabeth Hill mineralised envelope 3 , supporting regional application of IP and CSAMT along the MMFZ 4 . |
| | The four-week survey will be followed by data processing and modelling to prioritise potential drill targets for follow-up in H1 2027 and support the search for additional stand-alone Elizabeth Hill silver ‘pearls’ along the MMFZ. |

Vince Fayad, Executive Director of Alien Metals, commented:
“West Coast Silver’s regional geophysics programme is an important step in testing whether Elizabeth Hill is one of a number of high-grade silver systems along the Munni Munni Fault Zone. It is encouraging that surveying has started at Elizabeth Hill South, where Alien’s own drilling in 2022 returned 2m at 1,550 g/t silver.”
