About Silver Mines (ASX:SVL)
Silver Mines Limited is an ASX-listed mineral exploration and development company headquartered in Sydney. Its flagship asset is the Bowdens Silver Project in central New South Wales, east of Mudgee, where it holds a large silver-lead-zinc resource and surrounding exploration tenements.
Silver Mines (ASX:SVL) says the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure has finished assessing its latest Bowdens Silver data submission and has given supplementary advice to the Independent Planning Commission.
DPHI states the additional information does not fundamentally change its prior assessment that Bowdens is in the public interest and approvable subject to strict consent conditions. The IPC public hearing is set to continue on 14 and 15 October 2026 with a newly appointed panel. DPHI has agreed the IPC may determine the matter within 85 days of receiving the supplementary advice, implying a decision by 9 December 2026. The company is seeking reinstatement of development consent voided more than two years ago on a technical NSW planning issue. Bowdens is in central New South Wales, about 26 kilometres east of Mudgee.
Final determination remains with the IPC. Reinstatement of development consent is not assured until that decision is made.
