Tuena Project (gold/silver)
UPDATE: UPCOMING AERIAL GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY
Tuena Resources Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Silver Mines Limited, wishes to advise the community that an aerial geophysical survey is scheduled to commence on or about 1 November 2026, across portions of Exploration Licences EL8973, EL8974, EL8975, EL9588 and EL8526.
The map below outlines the indicative survey area, including flight turning areas.
The survey will measure the natural magnetic properties of rocks beneath the ground and the radiometric properties of surface materials. This work forms part of Tuena Resources’ ongoing regional exploration activities and will assist in improving our understanding of the underlying geology and mineral potential of the area.
The survey will be undertaken using a dedicated low-noise helicopter, flying along closely spaced, parallel flight lines in a grid pattern, following the natural contours of the landscape.
The helicopter will operate at a low altitude where safe and practical, subject to terrain, weather conditions and Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) safety requirements.
The survey is expected to take approximately three weeks, subject to suitable weather and flying conditions. Flights will be conducted during daylight hours only.
Tuena Resources appreciates the community’s understanding while these exploration activities are undertaken.

The Tuena gold project is located 80 kilometres south of the city of Orange in New South Wales and covers an area of 929km2 across 5 ELs, extending over a 60km section of the Copperhannia – Godolphin fault. The McPhillamys Gold and the Kempfield Silver Deposits lie along strike within this fault zone. The tenement package includes numerous targets associated with historic workings, as well as large areas of prospective geology yet to tested by modern exploration.
100% owned by Silver Mines since 2017, the Tuena gold project covers a number of promising historic and developing targets. Since acquisition, Silver Mines has launched a comprehensive exploration program, including soil sampling, surface mapping, airborne geophysics, and RC drilling, all aimed to systematically test the region.
