  • The Bowdens Silver Project is located in central New South Wales,

    Australia.

  • The consolidated project is 100% held and the area comprises 1,950km2

    (480,000 acres) of titles covering approximately 80km of strike of the highly mineralised Rylstone Volcanics.

  • The Bowdens Silver Project is the largest undeveloped silver deposit in

    Australia and one of the largest in the world with substantial resources and a considerable body of high quality technical work already completed.

  • In early 2021, the Company concluded a successful equity placement to raise A$30 million well supported by Australian and North American institutional investors.

  • 12,000 shareholders with trading averaging around 6 million shares a day.

Silver Mines Limited Progress

Recent Highlights

  • Lodgement of the Environmental Impact Statement and Development Application for the Bowdens Silver mine development.

  • Final submission processes almost complete for Independent Planning Commission determination in second half 2022.

  • No objections from any Government agency.

  • Continued outstanding drilling results from Bowdens Silver.

  • Four diamond drilling rigs continue on-site.

  • Three zones directly underneath the planned open-cut highlight potential underground development.

  • Resource assessment and Scoping Study commenced for a potential underground development.

  • Well positioned for continued momentum in a very positive silver price environment.

  • The largest silver development project in Australia, and one of the largest globally, with a current JORC-compliant Resource base of 275Moz AgEq.

  • 100% owned asset located in a low sovereign risk jurisdiction for mining development with ready access to existing infrastructure.

  • Bowdens well-advanced, with production expected in 2024/25

    - Feasibility Study completed and government approvals submitted - received positive responses from regulators and various stakeholders suggesting there is a clear pathway to development approval.

  • Low initial capital requirement of A$246m / US$185m to develop a 2Mtpa project, producing an average of 6Moz AgEq over the first 3 years of production at an average cash cost of US$9.15/oz, underpinning strong EBITDA and cash flow.

  • Considerable exploration potential at the Bowdens Silver Project, with extensive drilling underway (30,000m program) and confirmed significant high-grade extensions to mineralisation close to mine.

Notes: (1) Calculations have been rounded to the nearest 100,000 t, 0.1 g/t silver and 0.01% zinc and lead grades respectively. The Ore Reserve is reported by economic cut-off grade with appropriate consideration of modifying factors including costs, geotechnical considerations, mining and process recoveries and metal pricing. Bowdens' silver equivalent: Ag Eq (g/t) = Ag (g/t) + 33.48*Pb (%) + 49.61*Zn (%) calculated from prices of US$20/oz silver, US$1.50/lb zinc, US$1.00/lb lead and metallurgical recoveries of 85% silver, 82% zinc and 83% lead estimated from test work commissioned by Silver Mines Limited.
