Silver Mines (SVL) has intersected up to 706g/t silver equivalent from the Northwest High-Grade Zone at the Bowdens Silver Project.
Bowdens lies in central NSW, approximately 26 kilometres east of Mudgee, and is one of the largest undeveloped silver deposits in Australia.
New results include 2.8 metres at 706g/t silver equivalent (169g/t silver, 3.2g/t gold, 1.3 per cent zinc, and 6.5 per cent lead) from 274 metres, and 4.6 metres at 430g/t silver equivalent (215g/t silver, 3.1 per cent zinc, and 1.9 per cent lead) from 230 metres.
The inclusion of gold is significant as it is the first rime notable rich gold mineralisation has been intersected at the Northwest Zone.
Now, diamond drilling continues at Bowdens, with upcoming holes planned to follow the Northwest Zone down plunge and test extensions to existing resources.
Work will also aim to infill the area which has previously returned high-grade silver results.
