Elizabeth Hill - Growth & Development Plan
Alien Metals Limited (AIM: UFO), a minerals exploration and development company, notes the release of an announcement from its joint venture partner at the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project ("Elizabeth Hill"), West Coast Silver Limited ("West Coast Silver") (ASX: WCE), which outlines the growth and development plan (the "Plan") for Elizabeth Hill in the West Pilbara, Western Australia following the release of its inaugural Mineral Resource on 22 April 2026 and recent high-grade drilling results.
Key Highlights:
· The Plan establishes a clear pathway to near-term production and scalable resource growth, positioning Elizabeth Hill as one of the highest-grade for lowest capital cost undeveloped silver projects globally.
· The Plan aims to unlock silver resource value and transition Elizabeth Hill to near-term, high-margin operation with phased growth.
· High-margin starter open pit: Exceptional grade, low tonnage, 130m deep open pit key to a low capex, rapid payback pathway to position Elizabeth Hill for early cashflow generation.
· De-risking production: Granted Mining Lease, historic production and simple metallurgy precedents support an accelerated route to development.
· Growth beyond inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate: Open mineralisation at depth, laterally and along strike.
· Realising increased tonnage and silver metal: +6,000m Reverse Circulation and diamond drilling in progress to expand the mineral resource and derisk resources from Inferred to Indicated status within the April 2026 optimised 20 g/t Ag pit shell.
· Further details on the Plan are provided in West Coast Silver's updated investor presentation released today.
Alien holds a 30% interest in Elizabeth Hill and holds 30.5 million shares in West Coast Silver (representing an 8.7% interest in the issued share capital of West Coast Silver).

Alien's principal focus is the advancement and development of its 90%-owned Hancock Iron Ore Project in the central Pilbara region of Western Australia.
