Community engagement and partnerships

At Bowdens Silver, we are committed to being an involved and engaged member of the community. We know that listening isn’t a one-time thing, and we’re committed to keeping communication open, honest, and built on a collaborative and personalised approach. We believe we have a great opportunity to ensure that our presence is a positive one and we look forward to continue supporting and contributing to our nearby communities. Our community is made up of many different stakeholders including neighbouring landholders, local businesses, educational institutions and government agencies as well as Indigenous, farming and heritage groups. As we move into development, our Community Investment Program will continue to provide partnerships that benefit a large range of these stakeholders.
