Latest Bowdens Silver Project News

Silver Mines has entered the final stretch of the Bowdens approval process after reporting a 93.5 million ounce silver reserve, a completed A$26 million royalty consolidation and A$70 million of new funding. The project’s headline 26-year economics remain partly dependent on a Stage 2 design that is not yet at definitive feasibility level.

Silver Mines has built a substantially larger economic case for Bowdens, but the project still needs NSW approval before its 93.5 million ounce reserve can become a mine. The company is now funding the next phase with a A$70 million placement while absorbing dilution and a major royalty buy-back.

Silver Mines has completed the $26 million buyback and extinguishment of two private royalties over its Bowdens Silver Project, paying $18 million in cash and issuing $8 million in shares. The move removes the royalty interests over EL5920 as the project enters its next approvals phase.

Fitzroy River has completed the sale of its Bowdens Silver royalty for A$17.5 million, receiving A$10 million in cash and A$7.5 million in Silver Mines shares. The company has not yet disclosed how or when the proceeds will be returned to shareholders.

Fitzroy River says conditions for its A$17.5 million Bowdens Silver royalty sale have been satisfied, with completion and receipt of funds expected within the coming week. The company plans to return most net proceeds to shareholders, although the amount, structure and timing remain undecided.

Silver Mines has secured firm commitments for a $70 million placement, giving the company more funding to advance its Bowdens Silver Project through development approvals and engineering studies. The raise also supports royalty acquisitions, exploration and land access, although nearly 43% of the new shares still require shareholder approval.

Silver Mines is seeking A$70 million from investors while agreeing to spend A$26 million to remove two private royalties from its Bowdens Silver Project. The strategy could simplify Bowdens’ economics, but the royalty deals depend on securing at least A$50 million in placement commitments and meeting approval conditions.

Fitzroy River has agreed to sell its long-held Bowdens Silver royalty to Silver Mines for A$17.5 million, including A$7.5 million in Silver Mines shares. The company intends to return the net proceeds to shareholders, but completion remains conditional on funding and regulatory steps.

Silver Mines says NSW planning authorities have reaffirmed that the Bowdens Silver Project is in the public interest and approvable subject to strict conditions. The Independent Planning Commission will resume its public hearing in October, with a final decision expected by 9 December 2026.

Fitzroy River Corporation reported a modest loss for FY26, with a key highlight being a $12.27 million disputed payment from Endura Mining related to its Snowy River Gold Project royalty. The company has initiated court proceedings in New Zealand to clarify the validity of this buyout option while exploring potential sale of its Bowdens Silver royalty.

Fitzroy River Corporation has appointed Argonaut Corporate Finance as exclusive adviser to test market interest in selling its Bowdens Silver Project royalty, with no sale decision yet made.

Silver Mines has unveiled a Definitive Feasibility Study for its Bowdens Silver Project, confirming a 26-year mine life and lifting ore reserves to 93.5 million ounces of silver with robust economics and strategic land acquisition.
