Elizabeth Hill Surface Sampling Yields 920g/t Silver Highlights

Surface Sampling Unveils New High-Grade Silver Zones

Errawarra Resources Ltd (ASX: ERW) has announced a significant breakthrough at its Elizabeth Hill Project in Western Australia, with portable XRF (pXRF) surface sampling returning silver grades as high as 920 grams per tonne (g/t). These elevated readings were recorded approximately 300 metres north and 150 metres south of the historic Elizabeth Hill mine, suggesting the presence of previously unrecognised mineralised zones.

The sampling campaign identified 37 surface samples exceeding 50g/t silver, predominantly from iron-rich, gossanous float material. This type of material often signals extensions of mineralisation beneath the surface, providing compelling new targets for exploration. The results highlight the potential for expanding the known silver system beyond its historical footprint.

Strategic Location and Geological Context

Elizabeth Hill is renowned for its exceptionally high-grade silver mineralisation, historically producing 1.2 million ounces of silver from just 16,830 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 2,194g/t. The deposit is structurally controlled along the Munni Munni Fault system, a significant regional feature that Errawarra believes could host multiple silver deposits.

The project’s location within a tier-1 mining jurisdiction and proximity to existing processing infrastructure at the nearby Radio Hill site further enhance its development potential. The recent consolidation of surrounding land packages into a contiguous 180 square kilometre tenure strengthens the company’s ability to explore and develop the area comprehensively.

Next Steps: Drilling and Detailed Analysis

Building on the encouraging surface results, Errawarra is preparing to commence its inaugural drilling program in the coming weeks. This will be complemented by additional surface sampling, targeted trenching, and metal detector surveys aimed at delineating mineralised structures and identifying further high-grade material.

While the pXRF results provide a valuable early indication of silver presence and grade, the company has dispatched samples to an independent laboratory for confirmatory assays, with results expected within 6 to 8 weeks. These assays will be critical in validating the initial findings and guiding the next phase of exploration.

Market Implications and Exploration Potential

Executive Director Bruce Garlick described the findings as “extremely exciting,” emphasizing the potential for extensions to the known mineralisation. Given the historical high grades and the new surface anomalies, the Elizabeth Hill Project could see a meaningful expansion of its resource base if drilling confirms continuity at depth and along strike.

Errawarra’s methodical approach, combining modern exploration techniques with a strategic landholding, positions the company well to unlock further value from this historically productive silver district.
