Silver Mines (ASX:SVL) Faces Setback as Court Ruling Halts Bowdens Silver Project Development
In a significant development, Silver Mines Limited (ASX:SVL), an Australian-based silver mining company, has suffered a major setback after a court ruling halted the development of its flagship Bowdens Silver Project.
According to reports, the New South Wales Land and Environment Court has granted an injunction, effectively putting the brakes on the project’s progress. The decision was made in response to a challenge by the environmental group, Environment Justice Australia, which argued that the project would have significant environmental impacts.
The Bowdens Silver Project, located in New South Wales, is one of the largest undeveloped silver projects in the country. Silver Mines had been planning to develop the project, which is estimated to have significant silver reserves, with an estimated 12.5 million ounces of silver at a grade of 63.7 grams per tonne.
The court ruling is a major blow to Silver Mines, which had been gearing up for the project’s development. The company had previously announced plans to spend $110 million on the project, with construction set to begin in 2023.
Silver Mines has expressed disappointment with the ruling and has vowed to appeal the decision. The company has also emphasized its commitment to environmental sustainability and has assured stakeholders that it will work to address the concerns raised by the court.
The impact of the court ruling on Silver Mines’ shares is expected to be significant. At the time of writing, the company’s shares had fallen by over 10% in early trading.
