LARGEST UNDEVELOPED SILVER MINE IN AUSTRALIA, page-43

from DPE and IPC transcript

The New South Wales Government’s vision to become a major global supplier and
processor of critical minerals is also outlined in a document called the New South
Wales Critical Minerals and High-Tech Metal Strategy, and in that document both
silver and zinc are listed as critical minerals in the strategy. As well as that, the
Mining Exploration and Geoscience Division within the Department of Regional New
South Wales has identified that this deposit is the largest undeveloped silver project in
10 Australia, and one of the largest in the world. The project would target recovery of
approximately 97 million silver equivalent ounces. However, there is potentially more
recoverable resource available in both the opencut and potential deeper underground
project that would be subject to a separate assessment and approval process.
So MEG, which is Mining Exploration and Geoscience, has advised that there are
extensive sequences of similar rock formations along the margins of the Sydney bowl
and basin that host numerous smaller silver deposits, so the development of this
project could lead to further development of such deposits in New South Wales in the
future
