Alien Metals Limited has reported encouraging aircore drilling results from its Elizabeth Hill Silver Project, confirming significant extensions to silver mineralisation along strike and to the south.
Drilling has outlined mineralisation extending up to 150 metres, with several high-grade intercepts returned. Notable results include:
The programme also intersected base metal sulphides at Natalie Hill South, highlighting potential for broader regional discoveries beyond the core silver target.
Looking ahead, the company plans to mobilise a reverse circulation (RC) rig in the first quarter to test the Elizabeth Hill North prospect. The upcoming results are expected to support the development of an open pit resource estimate and contribute to a future scoping study.
NEXT STEPS
Following the high-grade results intersected in the 2025 diamond drilling programs (Phase 1 and 2), and now the impressive aircore results, the Company will continue to advance exploration at Elizabeth Hill with the mobilisation of a nearby RC rig to initially test the Elizabeth Hill North and Elizabeth Hill South prospects in the context of the activities outlined below.
·    Detailed geological and structural review of all 2025 drilling data, including the interpreted change in strike and plunge of mineralisation, particularly newly identified targets in the northwest of the Elizabeth Hill Project. Planning of follow-up drilling, subject to results and approvals, targeting near-surface and near-mine extensions of known mineralisation.
·    Further drilling targeting:
–      extensions of high-grade mineralisation along strike and at depth;
–      near-mine targets adjacent to historical workings;
–      priority targets identified from aircore drilling and the new geological reinterpretation.
·    Surface and down-hole geophysical surveys to improve targeting and support drill planning during 2026.
·    JORC Mineral Resource Estimate and economic studies of near surface mineralisation being undertaken to support ongoing evaluation of a development pathway.
