Alien Metals Limited
("Alien" or the "Company")
Elizabeth Hill Silver Mineralisation Extended Beyond Maiden Resource and
Remains Open
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). The announcement outlines
significant assay results for the first 17 of 32 reverse circulation ("RC")
drill holes completed in May 2026 at Elizabeth Hill, located near Karratha in
the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Key Highlights:
· RC drilling has significantly increased the scale of silver mineralisation up
to 70m north of the Elizabeth Hill April 2026 maiden mineral resource estimate
("MRE"), confirming the mineralised system is open at depth and along strike,
with multiple holes ending in mineralisation in the Munni Munni Fault Zone
("MMFZ").
· Best intersections received to date include:
· 60m @ 25 g/t Ag from surface (including 19m @ 31 g/t Ag) (hole
26WCRC004)
· 26m @ 31g/t Ag from 4m (hole 26WCRC002, finished in mineralisation)
· 9m @ 33g/t Ag from 6m and 5m @ 31g/t Ag from 26m (hole 26WCRC003)
· 2m @ 96g/t Ag from 91m (hole 26WCRC012)
· 1m @ 157g/t Ag from surface (hole 26WCRC011)
· The majority of new mineralisation lies outside the April 2026 MRE, increasing
the scale of the mineralised system and providing a clear basis for MRE
growth.
· Assay results received for the first 17 of 32 RC holes drilled at Elizabeth
Hill North in May 2026 (2,710m RC program). Assays for the remaining 15 holes
are pending, including hole 26WCRC023 which intersected 72m of altered MMFZ,
with further results expected over the coming months.
· Lead mineralisation up to 1.66% Pb intersected in hole 26WCRC010, consistent
with the spatial association between lead and silver at Elizabeth Hill and
indicating potential for higher-grade silver further along the MMFZ.
· 72m of altered MMFZ in hole 26WCRC023 (assays pending), representing the
widest fault zone intersection drilled to date at Elizabeth Hill North
· Diamond drilling is underway to test below RC holes that terminated in
mineralisation, with economic studies of near-surface mineralisation
progressing in parallel to support evaluation of a development pathway.
Alien holds a 30% interest in Elizabeth Hill and holds 30.5 million shares in
West Coast Silver (representing an approximate 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

Hedland, one of the world's largest iron ore export hubs. Alien also holds
exploration interests in the Brockman and Vivash iron ore projects in the West
Pilbara.
Alien additionally retains exposure to two advanced precious and base metal
assets in the Pilbara. At Munni Munni, one of Australia's largest PGM systems
hosting a historic resource of 2.2Moz PGM (palladium, platinum, and rhodium)
and gold, the Company has completed its partial asset sale and joint venture
transaction with GreenTech Metals Ltd under which Alien retains a 30%
interest, free carried to completion of a bankable feasibility study at Munni
Munni, and additionally holds 37.9 million shares in GreenTech Metals Ltd.
Alien (via a wholly owned subsidiary) also retains a 30% interest in the
Elizabeth Hill Silver Project through a joint venture with Crest, which

30% interest in the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project and additionally holds 30.5
million shares in West Coast Silver Limited, providing both direct project
exposure and equity participation in ongoing development.
