Bowdens Project, New South Wales, Australia

  • Bowdens Technical Report

Location and History

The Bowdens silver project is located 200 kilometers (124 miles) northwest of Sydney, Australia. It is readily accessible by road; a major power line is close by; and we own the surface rights covering the mineralization and the proposed mine infrastructure. The property consists of a single exploration tenement covering 188 square kilometers. It was discovered by stream sediment sampling in 1988 and to date, 395 drill holes totaling 43,309 meters have been completed.

Geology and Metallurgy

The silver mineralization is hosted in a Permian flat-lying felsic volcanic sequence consisting of rhyodacite ignimbrites with tufts and lesser flows. The mineralization appears to favor the contact between a porous tuft and impermeable ignimbrites. The low sulphidization epithermal system has minor lead and zinc, with the silver occurring in galena, sphalerite, argentite and percite.

Project Scope and Plans

The project is on care and maintenance while we advance other projects.
