LARGEST UNDEVELOPED SILVER MINE IN AUSTRALIA, page-469

Reading again the McPhillamys Gold Project positive determination document today, this summary section I've pasted in has helped inform my view on the Bowden's application. What I've noted is how often the Commission uses the words 'minimise' or 'managed' as the IPC are reasonable people and know that any mine has a multitude of adverse problems and impacts that can occur and few can be 'removed' - if you want to remove these risks, no hole in the ground would be dug anywhere. So, this has made me reassess the Bowden's application in this light in regards to public concerns to see if I can see in the major areas of concern that there is a clear commitment, engagement, processes, documentation and history of minimising those risks. And I see the answer as 'yes'. Others may see otherwise.

In other news, silver was close to US$24 overnight with just a small pullback - good day ahead for SVL methinks.
