West Coast Silver Raises AU$3.2 Million to Fund 2026 Exploration at Elizabeth Hill
Source: Kapitales Research
Highlights:
West Coast Silver has secured AU$3.2 million in firm commitments through a strategic placement to institutional and professional investors.
The proceeds will be applied to drilling activities, assay analysis, and follow-up exploration at the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project, as well as the assessment of broader regional targets.
Assay results are expected early in the new year, with site inspections and technical reviews scheduled for January and early February 2026.
Capital Raising Enhances Exploration Capacity
West Coast Silver Limited (ASX: WCE) has completed a AU$3.2 million capital raising via a placement of fully paid ordinary shares to existing and new institutional, professional, and sophisticated investors. The placement was led by CPS Capital and provides the company with a strengthened balance sheet as it enters an active exploration phase in 2026.
The capital raising involved the issue of 16,842,106 new shares at an issue price of AU$0.19 per share. The placement was executed using the company’s existing issuance capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, allowing the capital to be raised efficiently. The issue price represented an 11.9 per cent discount to the fifteen-day volume weighted average price prior to the announcement.
Settlement of the placement is expected in early January 2026, with new shares anticipated to be issued shortly thereafter, subject to standard settlement procedures.
Focus on Elizabeth Hill Exploration
Proceeds from the placement will primarily be directed toward advancing exploration activities at the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project, one of Australia’s historically high-grade silver operations. Planned work includes ongoing drilling, follow-up exploration, and the processing and interpretation of assays, with results expected early in the new year.
In addition to near-mine exploration, funds will support the evaluation of regional and near-mine targets aimed at identifying additional Elizabeth Hill-style silver mineralisation. Management believes the broader district holds potential for repeat deposits, supported by favourable structural settings and the company’s consolidated land position.
Technical site visits are planned for January and early February 2026, including input from specialist geologists to sharpen exploration focus and guide upcoming field programs.
Strategic Positioning and Outlook
West Coast Silver enters 2026 with multiple exploration catalysts in place, including pending assay results and an expanded drilling program. The company has consolidated a significant land package surrounding the historic Elizabeth Hill mine, providing scope for both resource growth and new discoveries within a proven silver district.
Management said the strong level of investor participation underscores confidence in the exploration approach and the quality of the Elizabeth Hill asset. Against a supportive silver price environment, the company is focused on maintaining exploration momentum and accelerating target generation across its broader project area.
With funding secured and exploration activity underway, investor attention is likely to centre on near-term assay results, outcomes from technical reviews, and the potential for further high-grade silver discoveries as the 2026 exploration program progresses.
