Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Silvercorp Metals Inc. reported full-year results for the year ended March 31, 2026 showing sharply higher revenue but much lower net income after significant non‑cash items and an acquisition. Revenue rose to $438.1M from $298.9M, driven entirely by its Chinese mines, with income from mine operations increasing to $253.7M from $123.6M.

Despite stronger operating performance, net income fell to $32.9M from $78.8M, and earnings attributable to equity holders swung to a loss of $9.9M, or $(0.05) per basic and diluted share, compared with earnings of $58.2M, or $0.29 basic per share, mainly reflecting a large $178.5M loss on derivative liabilities tied to convertible notes. Operating cash flow more than doubled to $310.6M, supporting a higher cash balance of $422.0M and total assets of $1.46B.

The company completed the $92.0M cash acquisition of Chaarat ZAAV CJSC in Kyrgyzstan, adding mineral rights and properties of $84.0M and expanding its portfolio with the Tulkubash and Kyzyltash gold projects and surrounding exploration licenses. Silvercorp’s total equity increased to $1.11B, including higher non‑controlling interests of $164.7M, while it recorded income tax expense of $47.5M and net comprehensive income of $62.9M.

Insights

Strong mine performance and cash flows, but headline earnings compressed by derivative losses and a large growth acquisition.

Silvercorp Metals delivered a step-change in scale, with revenue rising from $298.9M to $438.1M and income from mine operations more than doubling to $253.7M. This reflects higher contributions from the Ying and GC mines in China, while Ecuador and Kyrgyz assets remain in development.

However, net income declined from $78.8M to $32.9M, and equity holders saw a $9.9M loss, largely because of a sizeable $178.5M loss on derivative liabilities associated with convertible notes, partly offset by $33.7M of gains on investments. These items are non‑operational but materially affect reported profit and earnings per share.

Operating cash flow increased to $310.6M, funding a net cash outflow of $91.7M for the acquisition of Chaarat ZAAV CJSC and $116.4M of mineral-related capital spending. The Kyrgyz Tulkubash/Kyzyltash project added $84.0M of mineral rights and properties. Subsequent filings may provide more detail on project timelines, associated contingent obligations of $70M to the Kyrgyz NIA, and how these assets contribute to future production.

derivative liabilities financial
"Loss on derivative liabilities 178,544"
Derivative liabilities are obligations a company records when it owes money under financial contracts whose value depends on something else, like interest rates, stock prices, or currencies. Think of them as bets or insurance policies that can create future cash payments; they matter to investors because they can cause sudden changes in a company’s reported debt, profits and cash flow and reveal exposure to market risks that could affect valuation.
fair value through profit or loss financial
"Investments designated as FVTPL"
An accounting classification for certain financial assets where their current market price is used to update value on the books, and any increase or decrease is recorded immediately in the company’s profit & loss statement. Like checking the daily score of an investment and noting the gain or loss right away, this approach makes reported earnings reflect market swings more quickly, which can increase short-term volatility in reported profits and help investors see real-time value changes.
fair value through other comprehensive income financial
"equity investments designated as FVTOCI"
An accounting classification for certain financial assets where changes in market value are recorded at current market prices, but unrealized gains and losses are sent to a separate equity “holding” area called other comprehensive income instead of appearing in reported profit or loss. Think of it like marking a painting to its gallery price and placing the paper gains in a locked box until the painting is sold; this reduces headline profit volatility but still affects the company’s net worth, so investors watch it to judge true economic exposure and future earnings when assets are sold.
non-controlling interests financial
"Non-controlling interests 164,663"
An ownership stake in a subsidiary held by outside shareholders rather than the parent company, representing the portion of that subsidiary’s assets and profits the parent does not control. For investors, it shows what part of consolidated earnings and equity belongs to others — like a roommate who owns part of a house — which affects how much value and profit per share are truly attributable to the parent company’s shareholders.

1.CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Silvercorp Metals Inc., along with its subsidiary companies (collectively the “Company”), is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and mining of mineral properties. The Company’s producing mines are located in China, and current exploration and development projects are located in China, Ecuador and Kyrgyz Republic.

 

On January 27, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in Chaarat ZAAV CJSC (“ZAAV”), which holds a 100% interest in the mining license hosting the fully-permitted Tulkubash and Kyzyltash gold projects as well as surrounding exploration licenses (27.42 square kilometres) hosting the Karator and Ishakuld gold zones (the “Tulkubash/Kyzyltash” project). Concurrently, the Company entered into a Cooperation Agreement with the National Investment Agency under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic (the "NIA"), pursuant to which it agreed to convert ZAAV into a joint venture company (the "JVC") between the Company (holding a 70% interest and acting as operator) and Kyrgyzaltyn (holding a 30% free-carried interest), a state-owned entity. The acquisition has diversified the Company's mining assets and expanded its geographical presence in Central Asia.

 

The Company is a publicly listed company incorporated in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, with limited liability under the legislation of the Province of British Columbia. The Company’s shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and NYSE American.

 

The head office, registered address and records office of the Company are located at 1066 West Hastings Street, Suite 1750, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3X1.

 

2.MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a)Statement of Compliance

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS Accounting Standards in effect as of April 1, 2025.

 

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors dated May 21, 2026.

 

(b)Adoption of New Accounting Standards, Interpretation or Amendments

 

The Company adopted various amendments to IFRS® Accounting Standards, which were effective for the accounting period beginning on or after April 1, 2025, including the following:

 

Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21)

 

The amendments clarify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. In addition, the amendments require the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to understand the impact of a currency not being exchangeable.

 

The amendments were applied effective April 1, 2025 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

(c)New Accounting Standards Issued but not effective

 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been issued that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted.

 

Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1)

 

In April 2024, the IASB released IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements to: i) present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of earnings, ii) provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures ("MPMs") in the notes to the financial statements, iii) improve aggregation and disaggregation. Some of the requirements in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB also made minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share in connection with the new standard. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions.

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)

 

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 18 on its financial statements.

 

Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)

 

The amendments contain guidance to derecognition of a financial liability settled through electronic transfer, as well as classification of financial assets for:

 

·Contractual terms that are consistent with a basic lending arrangement;

 

·Assets with non-recourse features;

 

·Contractually linked instruments.

 

Also, additional disclosures relating to investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments.

 

(d)Basis of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly or partially owned subsidiaries.

 

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains control up to the date of the disposition of control. Control is achieved when the Company has power over the subsidiary, is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

 

For non-wholly owned subsidiaries over which the Company has control, the net assets attributable to outside equity shareholders are presented as “non-controlling interests” in the equity section of the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position. Net income for the period that is attributable to the non-controlling interests is calculated based on the ownership of the non-controlling interest shareholders in the subsidiary. Adjustments to recognize the non-controlling interests’ share of changes to the subsidiary’s equity are made even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are recorded as equity transactions. The carrying amount of non-controlling interests is adjusted to reflect the change in the non-controlling interests’ relative interests in the subsidiary and the difference between the adjustment to the carrying amount of non-controlling interest and the Company’s share of proceeds received and/or consideration paid is recognized directly in equity and attributed to equity holders of the Company.

 

Balances, transactions, revenues and expenses between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation.

(e)Foreign Currency Translation

 

Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Foreign currency non-monetary assets are translated using exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income.

 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. The financial position and results of the Company’s entities are translated from functional currencies to USD as follows:

 

·Assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date;

 

·Income and expenses are translated using average exchange rates prevailing during the period; and

 

·All resulting exchange gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income.

 

The Company treats inter-company loan balances, which are not intended to be settled in the foreseeable future, as part of its net investment. When a foreign entity is sold, the historical exchange differences plus the foreign exchange impact that arises on the transaction are recognized in the consolidated statements of income as part of the gain or loss on sale.

 

(f)Convertible Notes

 

Convertible notes are loans with an equity conversion feature that gives the holder an option to convert the loan into shares of the borrower. Under IAS 32, the convertible instrument is assessed by analyzing the two components: the liability host contract and the conversion feature which may be classified as equity or liability. The conversion feature is classified as equity if the Company can satisfy the conversion by exchanging a fixed amount of the Company’s shares for a fixed amount of cash. Otherwise, it will be classified as a derivative liability.

 

(g)Investments in Associates

 

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence but not control and is not a subsidiary or joint venture. Significant influence is presumed to exist where the Company has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, but can also arise when the Company has power to be actively involved and influential in financial and operating policy decisions of the entity even though the Company has less than 20% of voting rights.

 

The Company accounts for its investments in associates using the equity method. Under the equity method, the Company’s investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and subsequently increased or decreased to recognize the Company’s share of profit and loss of the associate and for impairment losses after the initial recognition date. The Company’s share of an associate’s loss that is in excess of its investment are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The Company’s share of comprehensive income or losses attributable to shareholders of associates are recognized in comprehensive income during the period. Distributions received from an associate are accounted for as a reduction in the carrying amount of the Company’s investment.

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)

 

At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that an investment in an associate is impaired. Objective evidence includes observable data indicating there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows of the associate’s operations. When there is objective evidence that an investment in an associate is impaired, the carrying amount is compared to its recoverable amount, being the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and value in use. An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. When an impairment loss reverses in a subsequent period, the carrying amount of the investment is increased to the revised estimate of recoverable amount to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had an impairment loss not been previously recognized. Impairment losses and reversal of impairment losses, if any, are recognized in net income in the period in which the relevant circumstances are identified.

 

Details of the Company’s associates are as follows:

 

Name of associate  Principal activity  Country of incorporation  Proportion of ownership interest held
3/31/2026
 
New Pacific Metals Corp.  Mining  Canada   27.8%
Tincorp Metals Inc.  Mining  Canada   29.1%

 

(h)Business Combinations or Asset Acquisition

 

Optional concentration test

 

The Company applies an optional concentration test, on a transaction-by-transaction basis, that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The gross assets under assessment exclude cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, and goodwill resulting from the effects of deferred tax liabilities. If the concentration test is met, the set of activities and assets is determined not to be a business and no further assessment is needed.

 

Asset acquisitions

 

When the Company acquires a group of assets and liabilities that do not constitute a business, the Company identifies and recognizes the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed by allocating the purchase price including the associated acquisition-related transaction costs first to financial assets/financial liabilities at the respective fair values, the remaining balance of the purchase price is then allocated to the other identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their relative fair values at the date of purchase. Such a transaction does not give rise to goodwill or bargain purchase gain.

 

Previously held interest

 

In a step acquisition to acquire control of another company that is not accounted for as a business combination, previously held equity interest in an acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date, and a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss, or other comprehensive income, as appropriate (depending on whether the previously held equity interest was measured at fair value through profit or loss or fair value through other comprehensive income).

 

Business Combinations

 

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in general and administrative expenses.

When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.

 

(i)Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the asset sold is transferred to customers and the Company satisfies its performance obligation. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation. The Company considers the terms of the contract in determining the transfer price. The transaction price is based upon the amount the Company expects to receive in exchange for the transferring of the assets. In determining whether the Company has satisfied a performance obligation, it considers the indicators of the transfer of control, which include, but are not limited to, whether: the Company has a present right to payment; the customer has legal title to the asset; the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset to the customer; and the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. This generally occurs when the assets are loaded on the trucks arranged by the customer at the Company’s milling facilities. In cases where the Company is responsible for the costs of shipping and certain other services after the date on which the control of the assets transferred to the customer, these other services are considered separate performance obligations and thus a portion of revenue earned under the contract is allocated and recognized as these performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Revenue from concentrate sales is typically recorded based on the Company’s assay results for the quantity and quality of concentrate sold and the applicable commodity prices, such as silver, gold, lead and zinc, set on a specific quotation period, typically ranging from ten to fifteen days around shipment date, by reference to active and freely traded commodity market. Adjustments, if any, related to the final assay results for the quantity and quality of concentrate sold are not significant and do not constrain the recognition of revenue.

 

Smelter charges, including refining and treatment charges, are netted against revenue from metal concentrate sales.

 

(j)Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and held at banks and short-term money market investments that are readily convertible to cash with original terms of three months or less and exclude any restricted cash that is not available for use by the Company.

 

(k)Short-term Investments

 

Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit and money market instruments, including cashable guaranteed investment certificates, bearer deposit notes and other financial assets with original terms of over three months but less than one year. Bonds traded on open markets are also included in short-term investments.

 

(l)Inventories

 

Inventories include concentrate inventories, direct smelting ore, stockpile ore and operating materials and supplies. The classification of inventory is determined by the stage at which the ore is in the production process. Material that does not contain a minimum quantity of metal to cover estimated processing expenses to recover the contained metal is not classified as inventory and is assigned no value.

 

Direct smelting ore and stockpiled ore are sampled for metal content and are valued at the lower of mining cost and net realizable value. Mining cost includes the cost of raw material, mining contractor cost, direct labour costs, depletion and depreciation, and applicable production overheads, based on normal operating capacity. Concentrate inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of concentrate inventories includes the mining cost for stockpiled ore milled, freight charges for shipping stockpile ore from mine sites to mill sites and milling cost. Milling cost includes cost of materials and supplies, direct labour costs, and applicable production overheads cost, based on normal operating capacity. Material and supplies are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average cost basis, and net realizable value.

SILVERCORP METALS INC.

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)

 

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sales.

 

(m)Plant and Equipment

 

Plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost, including all directly attributable costs to bring the assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Plant and equipment are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis based on the nature and useful lives of the assets. The significant classes of plant and equipment and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Buildings 20 years
Office equipment 5 years
Machinery 5-10 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Land use rights 50 years
Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful life or term of the lease

 

Subsequent costs that meet the asset recognition criteria are capitalized, while costs incurred that do not extend the economic useful life of an asset are considered repairs and maintenance, which are accounted for as an expense recognized during the period.

 

Assets under construction are capitalized as construction-in-progress. The cost of construction-in-progress comprises of the asset’s purchase price and any costs directly attributable to bringing it into working condition for its intended use. Construction-in-progress assets are transferred to other respective asset classes and are depreciated when they are completed and available for use.

 

Upon disposal or abandonment, the carrying amounts of plant and equipment are derecognized and any associated gain or loss is recognized in net income.

 

(n)Mineral Rights and Properties

 

Mineral rights and properties include the following capitalized payments and expenditures:

 

·Acquisition costs which consist of payments for property rights and leases, including payments to acquire or renew an exploration or mining permit, and the estimated fair value of properties acquired as part of business combination or the acquisition of a group of assets.

 

·Exploration and evaluation costs incurred on a specific property after an acquisition of a beneficial interest or option in the property. Exploration and evaluation expenditures on properties for which the Company does not have title or rights to are expensed when incurred. Exploration and evaluation activities involve the search for mineral resources, the determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource.

 

·Development costs incurred to construct a mine and bring it into commercial production. Proceeds from sales generate during this development and pre-production stage, if any, are deducted from the costs of the asset.

 

·Expenditures incurred on producing properties that are expected to have future economic benefit, including to extend the life of the mine and to increase production by providing access to additional reserves, such as exploration tunneling that can increase or upgrade the mineral resources, and development tunneling, including to build shafts, drifts, ramps, and access corridors that enable to access ore underground.

 

·Borrowing costs incurred that are directly attributed to the acquisition, construction and development of a qualifying mineral property.

 

·Estimated environmental rehabilitation and restoration costs.

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)

  

Before commencement of commercial production, mineral rights and properties are carried at costs, less any accumulated impairment charges.

 

Upon commencement of commercial production, mineral rights and properties are carried at costs, less accumulated depletion and any accumulated impairment charges. Mineral rights and properties, other than the payments to renew mining permits (the “mine right fee”) are depleted over the mine’s estimated life using the units of production method calculated based on proven and probable reserves. Estimation of proven and probable reserves for each property is updated when relative information is available; the result will be prospectively applied to calculate depletion amounts for future periods. If commercial production commences prior to the determination of proven and probable reserves, depletion is calculated based on the mineable portion of measured and indicated resources. The mine right fee is depleted using the units of production method based on the mineral resources which were used to determine the mine right fee payable.

 

(o)Impairment and Impairment Reversal

 

At each reporting period, the Company reviews and evaluates its assets for impairment, or reversal of a previously recognized impairment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable or when there is an indication that impairment may be reversed.

 

When impairment indicators exist, an estimate of the recoverable amount is undertaken, being the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCTD”) and value in use (“VIU”). If the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income during the period.

 

In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. The cash flows are based on best estimates of expected future cash flows from the continued use of the asset and its eventual disposal.

 

FVLCTD is best evidence if obtained from an active market or binding sale agreement. Where neither exists, the fair value is based the best estimates available to reflect the amount that could be received from an arm’s length transaction. Fair value of asset is generally determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset, including any expansion prospects.

 

Impairment is normally assessed at the level of cash-generating units (“CGU”), a CGU is identified as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows which are independent of the cash inflows generated from other assets.

 

When there is an indication that an impairment loss recognized previously may no longer exist or has decreased, the recoverable amount is calculated. If the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount, the carrying value of the asset is increased to the recoverable amount. The increased carrying amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period it is determined.

 

(p)Environmental Rehabilitation Provision

 

The mining, extraction and processing activities of the Company normally give rise to obligations for site closure or rehabilitation. Closure and decommissioning works can include facility decommissioning and dismantling; removal or treatment of waste materials; site and land rehabilitation. The extent of work required and the associated costs are dependent on the requirements of relevant authorities and the Company’s environmental policies. Provisions for the cost of each closure and rehabilitation program are recognized at the time when environmental disturbance occurs. When the extent of disturbance increases over the life of an operation, the provision is increased accordingly. Costs included in the provision encompass all closure and decommissioning activity expected to occur progressively over the life of the operation and at the time of closure in connection with disturbances at the reporting date. Routine operating costs that may impact the ultimate closure and decommissioning activities, such as waste material handling conducted as an integral part of a mining or production process, are not included in the provision.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)

 

Costs arising from unforeseen circumstances, such as the contamination caused by unplanned discharges, are recognized as an expense and liability when the event gives rise to an obligation which is probable and capable of reliable estimation. The timing of the actual closure and decommissioning expenditure is dependent upon a number of factors such as the life and nature of the asset, the operating license conditions, and the environment in which the mine operates. Expenditure may occur before and after closure and can continue for an extended period of time dependent on closure and decommissioning requirements.

 

Closure and decommissioning provisions are measured at the expected amount of future cash flows, discounted to their present value for each operation. Discount rates used are specific to the underlying obligation. Significant judgments and estimates are involved in forming expectations of future activities and the amount and timing of the associated cash flows. Those expectations are formed based on existing environmental and regulatory requirements which give rise to a constructive or legal obligation.

 

When provisions for closure and decommissioning are initially recognized, the corresponding cost is capitalized as an asset, representing part of the cost of acquiring the future economic benefits of the operation. The capitalized cost of closure and decommissioning activities is recognized in Mineral Rights and Properties and depleted accordingly. The value of the provision is progressively increased over time as the effect of discounting unwinds, creating an expense recognized in finance costs. Closure and decommissioning provisions are also adjusted for changes in estimates. Those adjustments are accounted for as a change in the corresponding capitalized cost, except where a reduction in the provision is greater than the undepreciated capitalized cost of the related assets, in which case the capitalized cost is reduced to nil and the remaining adjustment is recognized in the income statement. In the case of closed sites, changes to estimated costs are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of income. Changes to the capitalized cost result in an adjustment to future depreciation and finance charges.

 

Adjustments to the estimated amount and timing of future closure and decommissioning cash flows are a normal occurrence in light of the significant judgments and estimates involved. The provision is reviewed at the end of each reporting period for changes to obligations, legislation or discount rates that impact estimated costs or lives of operations and adjusted to reflect current best estimate.

 

The cost of the related asset is adjusted for changes in the provision resulting from changes in the estimated cash flows or discount rate and the adjusted cost of the asset is depreciated prospectively.

 

(q)Leases

 

Lease Definition

 

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. An identified asset may be implicitly or explicitly specified in a contract, but must be physically distinct, and must not have the ability for substitution by a lessor. A lessee has the right to control an identified asset if it obtains substantially all of its economic benefits and either pre-determines or directs how and for what purposes the asset is used.

 

Measurement of Right of Use (“ROU”) Assets and Lease Obligations

 

At the commencement of a lease, the Company, if acting in capacity as a lessee, recognizes an ROU asset and a lease obligation. The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease obligation adjusted for any lease payments made at, or before, the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received.

 

The ROU asset is subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of the lease, or the useful life of the asset determined on the same basis as the Company’s plant and equipment. The ROU asset is periodically adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease obligation, and reduced by impairment losses, if any. If an ROU asset is subsequently leased to a third party (a “sublease”) and the sublease is classified as a finance lease, the carrying value of the ROU asset to the extent of the sublease is derecognized. Any difference between the ROU asset and the lease receivable arising from the sublease is recognized in profit or loss.

The lease obligation is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments remaining at the lease commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate if the rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease obligation, when applicable, may comprise of fixed payments, variable payments that depend on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and the exercise price under a purchase, extension or termination option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

 

The lease obligation is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease obligation is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the ROU asset.

 

Measurement of Lease Receivable

 

At the commencement of a lease, the Company, if acting in capacity as a lessor, will classify the lease as finance lease and recognize a lease receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset or if the lease is a sublease, by reference to the ROU asset arising from the original lease (the “head lease”). A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset or the lease is a short-term lease. Cash received from an operating lease is included in other income in the Company’s consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the period the lease.

 

The lease receivable is initially measure at the present value of the lease payments remaining at the lease commencement date, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate if the sublease is a finance lease. The lease receivable is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, and reduced by the amount received and impairment losses, if any.

 

Recognition Exemptions

 

The Company has elected not to recognize the ROU asset and lease obligations for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less or for leases of low-value assets. Payments associated with these leases are recognized as general and administrative expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term on the consolidated statements of income.

 

(r)Borrowing Costs

 

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. No borrowing costs were capitalized in the periods presented.

 

(s)Share-based Payments

 

The Company makes share-based awards, including restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”), and stock options, to employees, officers, directors, and consultants.

 

For equity-settled awards, the fair value is charged to the consolidated statements of income and credited to equity, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, after adjusting for the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. The fair value of RSUs and PSUs is determined based on quoted market price of our common shares at the date of grant. The fair value of the stock options granted to employees, officers, and directors is determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market related input. The fair value of stock options granted to consultants is measured at the fair value of the services delivered unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, which then is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock options with graded vesting schedules are accounted for as separate grants with different vesting periods and fair values.

At each reporting date prior to vesting, the cumulative expense representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management’s best estimate of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest is computed (after adjusting for non-market performance conditions). The movement in cumulative expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of income with a corresponding entry within equity. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vested irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance conditions are satisfied.

 

(t)Income Taxes

 

Current tax for each taxable entity is based on the local taxable income at the local statutory tax rate enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and includes adjustments to tax payable or recoverable in respect to previous periods.

 

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are only offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off the amounts, and the Company intends to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, can be utilized, except:

 

·where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

 

·in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will be available to allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 

Deferred income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

 

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

 

(u)Earnings per Share

 

Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income available to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if additional common shares are assumed to be issued under securities that entitle their holders to obtain common shares in the future. For stock options and warrants, the number of additional shares for inclusion in diluted earnings per share calculations is determined by the options and warrants, whose exercise price is less than the average market price of the Company’s common shares, are assumed to be exercised and the proceeds are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price for the period. The incremental number of common shares issued under stock options, RSUs, and repurchased from proceeds, is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

(v)Financial Instruments

 

Initial recognition

 

On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded at fair value adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets and liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), in which case transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

 

Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the classification of such assets.

 

·Non-equity instruments:

 

IFRS 9 includes a single model that has only two classification categories for financial instruments other than equity instruments: amortized cost and fair value. To qualify for amortized cost accounting, the instrument must meet two criteria:

 

(i)The objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of the contractual cash flows; and

 

(ii)All contractual cash flows represent only principal and interest on that principal.

 

(iii)All other instruments are mandatorily measured at fair value.

 

·Equity instruments:

 

At initial recognition, for equity instruments other than held for trading, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate them, on instrument by instrument basis, as either FVTPL or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”).

 

Financial assets classified as amortized cost are measured at the amount of initial recognition minus principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any impairment loss allowance. Amortization or interest income from the effective interest method is included in finance income.

 

Financial assets classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in profit or loss. Equity investments designated as FVTOCI are measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Dividends from that investment are recorded in profit or loss when the Company's right to receive payment of the dividend is established unless they represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

 

Impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost

 

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on its financial assets carried at amortized cost. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting period to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instruments.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)

 

Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities

 

Financial liabilities classified as amortized cost are measured at the amount of initial recognition minus principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount. Amortization or interest expense using the effective interest method is included in finance costs.

 

Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in profit or loss.

 

The Company classifies its financial instruments as follows:

 

·Financial assets classified as FVTPL: short-term investments – money market instruments, and other investments - equity investments designated as FVTPL and warrants;

 

·Financial assets classified as FVTOCI: other investments - equity investments designated as FVTOCI;

 

·Financial assets classified as amortized cost: cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments - bonds, trade and other receivables and due from related parties;

 

·Financial liabilities classified as amortized cost: accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable, bank loan, customer deposits and due to related parties.

 

Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

 

A financial asset is derecognized when:

 

·The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

 

·The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

 

Gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities classified as amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss when the instrument is derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process.

 

Gains and losses on derecognition of equity investments designated as FVTOCI (including any related foreign exchange component) are recognized in OCI. Amounts presented in OCI are not subsequently transferred to profit or loss.

 

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another liability from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability. In this case, a new liability is recognized, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

 

Offsetting of financial instruments

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statements of financial position if and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle liabilities simultaneously.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined by reference to quoted market prices, without deduction for transaction costs. For financial instruments that are not traded in active markets, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques, such as using a recent arm’s length market transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties, discounted cash flow analysis, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, or other valuation models.

(w)Government Assistance

 

Refundable mining exploration tax credits received from eligible mining exploration expenditures and other government grants received for project construction and development reduce the carrying amount of the related mineral rights and properties or plant and equipment assets. The depletion or depreciation of the related mineral rights and properties or plant and equipment assets is calculated based on the net amount.

 

Government subsidies as compensation for expenses already incurred are recognized in profit and loss during the period in which it becomes receivable.

 

(x)Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS® Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although these judgments and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and best knowledge of relevant facts and circumstances, actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The Company has made critical judgments in the following areas:

 

Capitalization of expenditures included in mineral rights and properties

 

Management has determined that those capitalized expenditures, including exploration and evaluation expenditures and development costs incurred at producing properties, have potential future economic benefits and are potentially economically recoverable, subject to impairment analysis. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit, including geologic and metallurgic information, history of conversion of mineral deposits to proven and probable reserves, scoping and feasibility studies, accessible facilities, existing permits, whether to extend of the mine life, increase future production, or to provide access to a component of an ore body that will be mined in a future period.

 

Income taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on difference between the financial statements carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax based and loss carried forward. Withholding tax are determined based on the earnings of foreign subsidiary distributed to the Company.

 

The recognition of deferred tax assets and the determination of the ability of the Company to utilize tax loss carry-forwards to offset deferred tax liabilities requires management to exercise judgement and make certain assumptions about the future performance of the Company. Management is required to assess whether it is “probable” that the Company will benefit from these prior losses and other deferred tax assets. Changes in economic conditions, metal prices, and other factors could result in revision to the estimates of the benefits to be realized or the timing of utilization of the losses.

 

Functional currency

 

The determination of an entity’s functional currency often requires significant judgement where the primary economic environment in which the entity operates may not be clear. This can have a significant impact on the consolidated results based the foreign currency translation method of the Company.

 

Contingencies

 

Contingencies can be either possible assets or liabilities arising from past events which, by their nature, will only be resolved when one or more future events not wholly within our control occur or fail to occur. The assessment of such contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal, tax or regulatory proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims, that may result in such proceedings or regulatory or government actions that may negatively impact our business or operations, we evaluate with our legal counsel the perceived merits of any legal, tax or regulatory proceedings, unasserted claims or actions. Also evaluated are the perceived merits of the nature and amount of relief sought or expected to be sought, when determining the amount, if any, to recognize as a contingent liability or assessing the impact on the carrying value of assets. Contingent assets or liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation of entities in which the Company holds less than a majority of voting rights

 

As at March 31, 2025, the Company owned 46.2% interest in New Infini and has evaluated and concluded that the Company has control over New Infini due to New Infini’s share structure, board composition and other related facts. Accordingly, it consolidates New Infini’s results from the date of acquisition.

 

Areas where critical accounting estimates have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include:

 

Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates

 

Mineral reserves and mineral resources are estimated by qualified persons in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”, issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral reserves and mineral resources, including many factors beyond the Company’s control. Such estimation is a subjective process, and the accuracy of any mineral reserve or mineral resource estimate is a function of the quantity and quality of available data and of the assumptions made and judgements used in engineering and geological interpretation. Changes in assumptions, including metal prices, production costs, recovery rate, and market conditions could result in mineral reserve and mineral resource estimate revision. Such change could impact depreciation and amortization rates, asset carrying value and the environmental and rehabilitation provision.

 

Impairment and impairment reversal of assets

 

Management applies significant judgement in assessing whether indicators of impairment or impairment reversal exist for an asset or group of assets which would necessitate impairment testing. Internal and external factors such as significant changes in the use of the asset, commodity prices, and interest rates are used in determining whether there are indicators.

 

Where an indicator of impairment and impairment reversal exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is determined as the higher of FVLCTD and VIU.

 

The determination of FVLCTD and VIU requires management to make estimates and assumptions about expected production based on current estimates of recoverable metal, commodity prices, operating costs, taxes and export duties, inflation and foreign exchange, salvage value, future capital expenditures and discount rates. The estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty; hence, there is the possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the assets. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be further impaired or the impairment charge reversed with the impact recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

 

Valuation of inventory

 

Stockpiled ore, direct smelting ore, and concentrate inventories are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is calculated as the estimated price at the time of sale based on prevailing and forecast metal prices less estimated future production costs to convert the inventory into saleable form and associated selling costs. The determination of forecast sales price, recovery rates, grade, assumed contained metal in stockpiles and production and selling costs requires significant assumptions that may impact the stated value of our inventory and lead to changes in NRV. In determining the value of material and supplies inventory, we make estimates of the amounts to be used and realizable value through disposals or sales. Changes in these estimates can result in a change in carrying amounts of inventory, as well as cost of sales.

Environmental rehabilitation provision and the timing of expenditures

 

Environmental rehabilitation costs are a consequence of exploration activities and mining. The cost estimates are updated annually during the life of a mine to reflect known developments, (e.g. revisions to cost estimates and to the estimated lives of operations), and are subject to review at regular intervals. Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities are estimated based on the Company’s interpretation of current regulatory requirements, constructive obligations and are measured at the best estimates of expenditures required to settle the present obligation of decommissioning, restoration or similar liabilities that may occur over the life of the mine. The carrying amount is determined based on the net present value of estimated future cash expenditures for the settlement of decommissioning, restoration or similar liabilities that may occur over the life of the mine. Such estimates are subject to change based on change in laws and regulations and negotiations with regulatory authorities.

 

Fair value of the derivative on the convertible notes

 

Estimates were used in determining the fair value of the derivative on the convertible notes including subjective assumptions on expected price volatility, credit spread. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. The underlying assumptions used in the measurement of the derivative on convertible notes are disclosed in Note 18. The Company used judgement in concluding that the convertible notes are hybrid financial instruments as a result of the embedded derivative liability that is the equity conversion with issuer settlement options.

 

Business combinations or asset acquisitions

 

Assessing whether transactions undertaken during the reporting period represent business combinations or asset acquisitions in applying IFRS 3 Business Combinations. This distinction affects how assets and liabilities acquired are accounted for and the resulting financial statement impact.

 

For each acquisition, the Company evaluated whether the transaction met the definition of a business under IFRS 3. This involved assessing if the acquisition included (i) an integrated set of activities and assets, (ii) inputs, and (iii) processes that have the capability to create outputs. Where an acquired set of activities and assets did not meet the criteria of a business, the transaction was classified as an asset acquisition, and consideration paid was allocated to the identifiable net assets on a relative fair value basis.

 

The following key factors were considered:

 

·Inputs and processes acquired: Whether the acquired assets included organized workflows, management processes, or a workforce capable of managing and producing outputs.

 

·Control over critical processes: An assessment of whether the Group obtained control over processes that are critical to generating outputs.

 

·Synergies and strategic benefits: The extent to which the transaction provided synergies or additional strategic capabilities.

 

The application of this judgment has a material effect on the financial statements as it influences whether goodwill, deferred taxes are recognized and the accounting treatment for transaction costs.

 

3.ACQUISITION OF CHAARAT ZAAV CJSC

 

In Fiscal 2026, the Company signed a Share Purchase Agreement with Chaarat Gold Holdings Limited ("Chaarat") and a Cooperation Agreement with the National Investment Agency under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic (the "NIA").

 

Pursuant to the Share Purchase agreement dated November 11, 2025 and the Supplemental Amendment deed to the Share Purchase Agreement dated December 24, 2025 (collectively the “SPA”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fortune Gold Mining (H.K.) Limited (“FGHK”) and Wonder Success Limited (H.K.) (“WS”), agreed to acquire a 100% interest in ZAAV Holdings Limited (“ZHL”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chaarat ZAAV CJSC (“ZAAV”) for a cash consideration of $92 million. ZAAV holds a 100% interest in a mining license (approximately 7 km²) hosting the Tulkubash and Kyzyltash deposits, as well as surrounding exploration licenses (27.42 km²) hosting the Karator and Ishakuld gold zones. Following the acquisition, FGHK and WS will hold 99.99% and 0.01% interest in ZAAV, respectively.

In addition, according to the SPA, after the Company’s acquisition of 100% interest in ZAAV via its subsidiaries FGHK and WS, the Company shall (1) allocate 30% of the interest in ZAAV to the NIA and (2) make payments in aggregate of $70M to the NIA when certain conditions are met. Details are prescribed in the Cooperation Agreement with the NIA dated January 16, 2026. Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement:

 

·The Company will carry out an internal restructuring to transfer 30% of ZAAV’s total outstanding shares from ZHL to WS and 70% of ZAAV’s total outstanding shares from ZHL to FGHK. WS will then transfer its 30% interest in ZAAV to an entity designated by the Kyrgyz Republic for nil consideration. After this transfer, ZAAV will operate as a joint venture company (the “JVC”) in which FGHK holds a 70% interest and the Kyrgyz Party holds a 30% free-carried interest.

 

·The $70 million payment to the NIA is payable in two stages: a payment of $60 million upon the Kyrgyz Government issuing a waiver of its statutory pre-emptive right on the Projects and extension of the JVC’s mining license validity period to 2062 and a payment of $10 million after the achievement of other milestones.

 

On January 27, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in ZAAV under the SPA with the $92 million payment made to Chaarat as the Kyrgyz government issued a waiver of its statutory pre-emptive right, and 100% of ZAAV’s common shares were transferred to FGHK and WS. Prior to the closing of the transaction, ZAAV’s intercompany balance payable to Chaarat was novated to the Company.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the $70 million payment to the NIA had not been made, and the 30% interest in ZAAV had not been transferred.

 

The $70 million payment meets the definition of a contingent liability under IAS 37. At the acquisition date, no present obligation exists as the triggering events are not wholly within the Company's control. Therefore, the Company has disclosed a contingent liability of $70 million, which has not been recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The purchase consideration was allocated to identifiable assets acquired on a relative fair value basis. Intragroup balances arising from the novation of shareholder loans were eliminated on consolidation and excluded from the cost of acquisition.

4.SEGMENTED INFORMATION

 

An operating segment is defined as a component of the Company that:

 

·Engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues or incur expenses;

 

·Whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity’s chief operating decision maker; and

 

·For which discrete financial information is available.

 

The Company has organized its reportable and operating segments by significant revenue streams and geographic regions. The Company has determined that each producing mine and significant development property represents an operating segment, except Tulkubash and Kyzyltash projects are considered one operating segment. As of March 31, 2026, the Company's significant operating segments include its two producing properties in China, two development and exploration projects in Ecuador and the Tulkubash/Kyzyltash development and exploration project in Kyrgyz Republic. "Other" consists primarily of the Company's corporate assets, other development and exploration properties, and corporate expenses which are not allocated to operating segments.

The Company acquired the El Domo Project and the Condor Project through the acquisition of Adventus on July 31, 2024.

 

In June 2024, an action seeking to void the environmental license of the El Domo Project was brought in local court in Las Naves Canton, Bolívar Province, Ecuador (the "Court") by a group of plaintiffs alleging defects in the environmental consultation process for the El Domo Project. The Court rejected the litigation on July 24, 2024 ruling that the Ecuadorean government correctly discharged its environmental consultation obligations prior to issuing an environmental license for the El Domo Project. The plaintiffs filed an appeal (the “Appeal”) to the provincial court, and the Appeal was heard by the provincial court of Bolívar Province on October 17, 2024, and was dismissed by the provincial court on November 12, 2024, affirming the lower court decision that the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Ecological Transition of Ecuador ("MAATE") correctly discharged its environmental consultation obligations prior to issuing an environmental license of the El Domo Project. The plaintiffs subsequently filed an Extraordinary Protection Action (EPA) before the Constitutional Court of Ecuador. On February 26, 2025, the Constitutional Court issued a decision declining to admit the EPA. On March 3, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a motion for clarification. A clarification motion may proceed where disputed issues have not been fully resolved. On July 24, 2025, the Constitutional Court issued a decision rejecting the clarification motion.

 

17.LONG-TERM DEPOSITS

 

The Company has a precious metals purchase agreement ("PMPA") with Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd. ("Wheaton") for the construction of the El Domo project. Under the PMPA, Wheaton has agreed to provide a deposit of $175.5 million, payable in stages including an early deposit payment and up to four construction payments, each subject to the satisfaction of specific conditions precedent detailed in the agreement.

 

In exchange, the Company has agreed to sell, and Wheaton has agreed to purchase, a percentage of the refined gold and refined silver produced from the El Domo project, as defined in the agreement. The percentage is 50% for gold and 75% for silver until cumulative deliveries reach 145,000 ounces of gold and 4,600,000 ounces of silver, after which the percentage reduces to 33% for gold and 50% for silver.

 

The Company is obligated to sell and deliver the metal to Wheaton by crediting a designated metal account. Wheaton will pay a purchase price for each ounce delivered. Prior to the notional deposit balance being fully credited, the purchase price equals the prevailing market price, of which 18% (the "Production Payment") is paid in cash and the balance is applied to reduce the deposit. After the deposit balance is fully credited, Wheaton pays a cash amount equal to 22% of the market price.

 

The Company accounts for the PMPA under IFRS 15. The upfront deposit is recorded as a contract liability. Management has determined the deposit contains a significant financing component due to the significant timing difference between receiving the deposit and the commencement of metal deliveries. Accordingly, the liability is accreted over time, with the accretion recorded as finance costs. Revenue, equivalent to the Production Payment, is recognized when control of the metal transfers to Wheaton upon delivery, at which point a corresponding portion of the contract liability is derecognized.

 

In October 2025, the Company received the first installment of $43.88 million under the PMPA. For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded interest expense of $1.02 million related to the accretion of the significant financing component. As of March 31, 2026, the carrying amount of the contract liability related to the Wheaton PMPA was $44.90 million.

 

18.CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

On November 25, 2024, the Company issued the unsecured Convertible Senior Notes ("Convertible Notes") and received gross proceeds of $150 million, before transaction costs of $6.6 million. The Convertible Notes mature on December 15, 2029, and bear interest at 4.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2025.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)

 

Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder on or after September 15, 2029 (the "Free Conversion Date") until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Prior to the Free Conversion Date, the holders may elect to convert their Convertible Notes only if circumstances and fundamental changes occur as described in the convertible notes, including:

 

·A change in control where a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of our voting stock, or gains the power to elect a majority of our board of directors.

 

·The consummation of significant transactions such as certain mergers or consolidations pursuant to which our common shares will be converted or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, or sales of substantially all our assets that change the corporate structure or ownership.

 

·Approval by our shareholders of any plan for liquidation or dissolution.

 

·During any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended on March 31, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day.

 

The initial conversion rate is 216.0761 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $4.628 per share), subject to adjustments as described in the Convertible Notes.

 

Prior to December 20, 2027, the Company may not redeem the notes except in the event of certain changes in Canadian tax law. At any time on or after December 20, 2027, and until maturity, the Company may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes for cash if the price of the Company’s common shares for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days, ending on the trading day prior to the date of notice of redemption, exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on each such day. The redemption price is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed. In the event of a fundamental change, the Company is required to offer to purchase its outstanding Convertible Notes at a cash purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, ensuring protection against major corporate transformations that could affect the value of the investment held by the holders.

 

Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes may be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, common shares or a combination thereof. As a result of the Company's right to elect to settle the conversion in cash or shares, the conversion feature represents a derivative liability which is accounted for initially and subsequently at fair value through profit or loss. The host debt contract is accounted for at amortized cost. Of the gross proceeds of $150 million, $39.1 million was allocated to the derivative liability component first, representing the fair value on November 25, 2024, the residual value of $110.9 million was allocated to the host loan. Transaction costs of $4.9 million associated with the host loan were capitalized to the liability whereas transaction costs of $1.7 million associated with the embedded derivative liability were expensed in the condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income. The $105.9 million net amount allocated to the host loan will be accreted to the face value of the Convertible Notes over the term to maturity using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 12.6%. There are no financial covenants associated with the Convertible Notes.

 

On March 18, 2026, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture to the Convertible Notes to remove the Company’s option to settle conversions of the Convertible Notes in cash. Following this amendment, upon conversion, the Company is required to settle the principal amount of the Notes exclusively through the issuance of common shares.

 

The Company assessed whether the contractual changes to the Convertible Notes resulted in the Notes being substantially modified and thus whether the Company should derecognize the Convertible Notes. The amendment did not result in a substantial modification of the financial liability under IFRS 9. However, given the contractual changes, the Company reassessed the classification of the embedded conversion feature. The Company concluded that the removal of the cash settlement alternative now causes the conversion option to meet the “fixed-for-fixed” condition under IAS 32, and thus the conversion feature is no longer accounted for as a derivative liability and instead meets the definition of equity. Accordingly, on the amendment date, the derivative liability was remeasured to its fair value, and that fair value was derecognized from financial liabilities and reclassified to equity. No gain or loss was recognized in profit or loss as a result of the reclassification.

The capital of the Company consists of the items included in equity less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Risk and capital management are primarily the responsibility of the Company’s corporate finance function and are monitored by the Board of Directors. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments depending on economic conditions. Funds have been primarily secured through profitable operations and issuances of equity capital. The Company invests all capital that is surplus to its immediate needs in short-term, liquid and highly rated financial instruments, such as cash and other short-term deposits, all held with major financial institutions. Significant risks are monitored and actions are taken, when necessary, according to the Company’s approved policies.

 

26.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company manages its exposure to financial risks, including liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and equity price risk in accordance with its risk management framework. The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.

 

(a)Fair value

 

The Company classifies its fair value measurements within a fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements as defined in IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”).

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value level on a recurring basis within the fair value hierarchy as at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 that are not otherwise disclosed. As required by IFRS 13, the assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

   Fair value as at March 31, 2026 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Financial assets                    
Short-term investments   346            346 
Other investments   51,709        2,534    54,243 
                     
Financial liability                    
Derivative liabilities                

 

   Fair value as at March 31, 2025 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Financial assets                    
Short-term investments   5,078            5,078 
Other investments   14,743        2,534    17,277 
                     
Financial liability                    
Derivative liabilities       50,768        50,768 

 

Financial assets classified within Level 3 are equity investments in private companies. Significant unobservable inputs are used to determine the fair value of the financial assets, which includes recent arm’s length transactions of the investee, the investee’s financial performance as well as any changes in planned milestones of the investees.

 

Fair value of the other financial instruments excluded from the table above approximates their carrying amount as at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the year ended March 31, 2026.

 

(b)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they arise. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring actual and projected cash flows and matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. Cash flow forecasting is performed regularly to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after considering cash flows from operations and our holdings of cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The following summarizes the remaining contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities and operating commitments on an undiscounted basis.

 

   March 31, 2026 
   Within a year   2-5 years   Total 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities  $85,163   $   $85,163 
Deposits received   20,888        20,888

Income tax payable   15,574        15,574 
Total Contractual Obligation  $129,080   $172,421   $301,501 

 

(c)Foreign exchange risk

 

The Company reports its financial statements in US dollars. The functional currency of the head office, Canadian subsidiaries, intermediate holding companies, and subsidiaries in Ecuador, is the US dollar. The functional currency of all Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese yuan ("RMB"). The functional currency of all Kyrgyz subsidiaries is the Kyrgyz som ("KGS"). The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily relating to financial instruments that are denominated in RMB, which would impact the Company's other comprehensive income or loss; and financial instruments that are denominated in the Canadian dollar ("CAD"), the Australian dollar ("AUD") and the Kyrgyz som ("KGS"), which would impact the Company's net income.

 

The Company currently does not engage in foreign exchange currency hedging. The sensitivity of the Company’s other comprehensive income or loss and net income due to the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar against RMB, CAD, KGS and AUD as at March 31, 2026 is summarized as follows:

(d)Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, lease liabilities and convertible notes. All of the Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments earn interest at market rates that are fixed to maturity or at variable interest rates. Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the Company’s net income.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)

 

As at March 31, 2026, the Company had $1.2 million lease obligation that are subject to annualized interest rate ranging from 7.0% to 15.6%, and $117.2 million convertible notes liabilities that are discounted at 12.6% of the Company's unsecured senior convertible notes. The principle of the convertible note is $150.0 million bearing a fixed coupon rate of 4.75% with a maturity date of December 15, 2029. As the amount of the lease obligation is immaterial and the convertible notes bear interest at fixed rates, they are not subject to significant interest rate risk.

 

(e)Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily associated to accounts receivable, due from related parties, cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments. The carrying amount of assets included on the statements of financial position represents the maximum credit exposure.

 

The Company undertakes credit evaluations on counterparties as necessary, requests deposits from customers prior to delivery, and has monitoring processes intended to mitigate credit risks. There were no material amounts in trade or other receivables which were past due on March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025 - $nil).

 

(f)Equity price risk

 

The Company holds certain marketable securities that will fluctuate in value as a result of trading on financial markets. As the Company’s marketable securities holdings are mainly in mining companies, the value will also fluctuate based on commodity prices. Based upon the Company’s portfolio as at March 31, 2026, a 10% increase (decrease) in the market price of the securities held, ignoring any foreign currency effects, would have resulted in an increase (decrease) to the net income of $5.1 million.

 

(g)Metal price risk

 

The Company primarily produces and sells silver, lead, zinc, gold and other metals. In line with market practice, the Company prices its metal concentrates based on the quoted market prices and the head grades of its metal concentrates. The Company’s sales price for silver is fixed against the Shanghai White Platinum & Silver Exchange as quoted at www.ex-silver.com; lead and zinc are fixed against the Shanghai Metals Exchange as quoted at www.shmet.com; and gold is fixed against the Shanghai Gold Exchange as quoted at www.sge.com.cn.

 

The Company’s revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the mining and sale of silver, lead, zinc, and gold contained in metal concentrates. The prices of those commodities have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control including international and regional economic and political conditions; emerging risks related to pandemics; expectations of inflation; currency exchange fluctuations; interest rates; global or regional supply and demand for jewelry and industrial products containing silver and other metals; sale of silver and other metals by central banks and other holders, forward selling activities, speculators and producers of silver and other metals; availability and costs of metal substitutes; and increased production due to new mine developments and improved mining and production methods. The effects of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the viability of the Company’s exploration projects and mining operations, cannot be accurately predicted and thus the price of base and precious metals may have a significant influence on the market price of the Company’s shares and the value of its projects.

 

If silver and other metal prices were to decline significantly for an extended period of time, the Company may be unable to continue operations, develop its projects, or fulfil obligations under agreements with the Company’s non-controlling interest holders or under its permits or licenses.

1.Core Business and Strategy

 

Silvercorp is a Canadian mining company producing silver, gold, lead, zinc, and other metals with a long history of profitability and growth potential. The Company’s strategy is to create shareholder value by focusing on generating free cash flow from long life mines; organic growth through extensive drilling for discovery; ongoing merger and acquisition efforts to unlock value; and long-term commitment to responsible mining and sound Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) practices. Silvercorp operates several silver-lead-zinc and gold mines at the Ying Mining District in Henan Province, China and the GC silver-lead-zinc mine in Guangdong Province, China.

 

On July 31, 2024, the Company acquired Adventus Mining Corporation ("Adventus") to gain access to the El Domo project, a pre-construction stage copper-gold project (the "El Domo Project"), and the Condor project, a development stage gold project (the "Condor Project"), both located in Ecuador. This has diversified Silvercorp's mining assets, expanded its geographical market presence in Latin America and reduced regional concentration risk. The Company is currently focusing on the construction of the El Domo Project. Production is targeted to commence in July 2027, with an updated estimated capital cost of $283.6 million, positioning El Domo as a potential source of robust free cash flow through its mine life and cost structure. For the Condor Project, the Company has completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) and is advancing the environmental permitting process for exploitation, with ongoing exploration and feasibility work to further de-risk and optimize the project for future development.

 

On January 27, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in Chaarat ZAAV CJSC (“ZAAV”) for cash consideration of $92 million. ZAAV holds a 100% interest in the mining license hosting the fully-permitted Tulkubash and Kyzyltash gold projects as well as surrounding exploration licenses (27.42 square kilometres) hosting the Karator and Ishakuld gold zones (the “Tulkubash/Kyzyltash” project). On May 10, 2026, the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic extended the mining license validity period for the Tulkubash and Kyzyltash projects for 30 years from 2032 to 2062. Following this extension, the Company made a $60 million payment to the National Investment Agency under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic (the "NIA"), pursuant to a Cooperation Agreement. In addition, the Company completed a restructuring under which the 30% free-carried interest in ZAAV was transferred to Kyrgyzaltyn, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Kyrgyz Republic. The acquisition has diversified Silvercorp's mining assets and expanded its geographical market presence into Central Asia.

 

The Company’s common shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and NYSE American under the symbol “SVM”.

Fiscal 2026 vs. Fiscal 2025

 

In Fiscal 2026, the Ying Mining District produced approximately 6.3 million ounces of silver, 8,723 ounces of gold, or approximately 7.0 million ounces of silver equivalent, plus 55.1 million pounds of lead, and 6.6 million of zinc, representing a production increase of 16% in gold and decreases of 1% (silver), 1% (silver equivalent), 3% (lead) and 23% (zinc) production, compared to Fiscal 2025. Lower production was due to lower head grades, as a result of a higher dilution associated with an increase in shrinkage mining.

 

In Fiscal 2026, the cash cost was $79.71 per tonne of ore processed, down 10% compared to $88.46 in Fiscal 2025, mainly attributable to i) a higher percentage of ore mined by the more mechanized and less expensive shrinkage mining method versus labour intensive re-suing mining and ii) lower unit overhead cost allocation due to an increase of 18% in ore processed. The AISC was $134.19 per tonne of ore processed, down 4% compared to $139.33 in Fiscal 2025, mainly attributable to lower cash cost, partially offset by an increase of 13% in sustaining capital expenditure as more tunnels were completed.

For the year ended March 31, 2026

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data and unit cost data or otherwise stated)

 

The cash cost per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was $0.01, compared to $0.62 in Fiscal 2025, mainly attributable to i) a higher percentage of using the more cost-efficient and mechanized shrinkage mining method and ii) an increase of $10.0 million in by-product credits from revenue of non-silver metals. The AISC per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was $11.49, compared to $9.68 in Fiscal 2025, mainly due to an increase in sustaining capital expenditure as explained above.

 

In Fiscal 2026, a total of 138,163 metres or $3.9 million worth of drilling were growth drilling and capitalized (Fiscal 2025 – 60,804 metres or $1.9 million). In addition, 105,216 metres or $52.2 million worth of sustaining or growth horizontal tunnels, raises, ramps, and declines were completed and capitalized (Fiscal 2025 – 96,521 metres or $46.3 million).

 

Q4 Fiscal 2026 vs. Q4 Fiscal 2025

 

In Q4 Fiscal 2026, the Ying Mining District produced approximately 1.4 million ounces of silver, 2,492 ounces of gold, or approximately 1.5 million ounces of silver equivalent, plus 12.9 million pounds of lead and 1.4 million pounds of zinc, representing production decreases of 11% (silver), 20% (gold), 18% (silver equivalent), 17% (lead) and 30% (zinc), over Q4 Fiscal 2025. Lower production was due to lower head grades, as a result of higher dilution associated with an increase in shrinkage mining.

 

In Q4 Fiscal 2026, the cash cost was $78.27 per tonne of ore processed, down 8% compared to $84.90 in Q4 Fiscal 2025, mainly attributable to a higher percentage of ore mined by the more mechanized and less expensive shrinkage mining method versus labour intensive re-suing mining. The AISC was $134.23 per tonne of ore processed, up 11% compared to $120.62 in Q4 Fiscal 2025, mainly due to i) a higher government taxes linked to increased revenue and ii) increase in sustaining capital expenditures of tunnels.

 

In Q4 Fiscal 2026, the cash cost per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was negative $1.03, compared to $3.05 in Q4 Fiscal 2025. The reduction is mainly attributable to lower unit cash cost and an increase of $0.8 million in by-product credits from revenue of non-silver metals. The AISC per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was $13.09, compared to $11.35 in Q4 Fiscal 2025, The increase was mainly the same as the reason in AISC per tonne as discussed above.

 

In Q4 Fiscal 2026, a total of 22,616 metres or $0.7 million worth of drilling were growth drilling and capitalized (Q4 Fiscal 2025 – 14,946 metres or $0.4 million). In addition, 18,336 metres or $9.9 million worth of sustaining or growth horizontal tunnels, raises, ramps, and declines were completed and capitalized (Q4 Fiscal 2025 – 15,647 metres or $7.4 million).

In addition, 1,958 metres or $1.0 million of sustaining or growth horizontal tunnels, raises, and declines were completed and capitalized (Q4 Fiscal 2025 – 1,196 metres or $0.6 million).

 

GC Mine Classification Update

 

The Company has commissioned Changsha Mining Research Institute to prepare the development and utilization plan to change the GC mine’s classification from a lead-zinc mine to a silver mine. GC mine has an annual production capacity of 300,000 tonnes, is considered a medium-scale operation and is limited to no more than three production levels operating simultaneously. Once classified as a silver mine, GC mine would be considered large-scale and would no longer be subject to this restriction.

 

(iii)Kuanping Project

 

The Kuanping Project has received all required permits and licenses, and mine construction commenced in Q1 Fiscal 2026.

 

In Fiscal 2026, 7,562 metres or $4.3 million worth of growth tunnels, raises, ramps and declines were completed and capitalized, and 1,625 metres or $0.08 million worth of diamond drilling were capitalized.

 

In Q4 Fiscal 2026, Kuanping mine construction continued to advance, with 1,647 metres or $1.0 million worth of growth tunnels, raises, ramps and declines were completed and capitalized and 1,625 metres or $0.08 million worth of diamond drilling were capitalized. It produced initial amounts of ore in Q1 Fiscal 2027, which was shipped to Ying’s process plant for recovery of metals.

 

(iv)BYP Mine

 

The BYP Mine was placed on care and maintenance in August 2014 due to required capital upgrades to sustain its ongoing production and the market environment. The Company is in the process of applying for a new mining license with Hunan Provincial Department of Natural Resources including a mining rights license and a mining permit. In Q1 Fiscal 2026, the Company engaged an independent firm to conduct studies, including a mineral resources estimate update as per the regulations in China which has been completed and under the filing process. In Q4 F2026, the application of the mining rights license has been filed and is expected to be approved in Q1 Fiscal 2027.

 

(v)El Domo Project

 

The Company acquired the El Domo Project through the acquisition of Adventus on July 31, 2024. The El Domo Project’s environmental license remains in good standing.

 

On April 16, 2026, the Company issued an updated construction plan and schedule. The total estimated costs ($283.6 million) and schedule remain unchanged from the February 4, 2026 news release .

 

During the year ended March 31, 2026, approximately 2.7 million cubic metres of material were removed with $45.8 million of expenditures capitalized. Construction at the El Domo project continued to advance in Q4 Fiscal 2026 despite heavy rainfall. During the quarter, approximately 0.4 million cubic metres of material were excavated. Cumulative earthmoving volumes have now reached 58% of the total design volume for Construction Package 1, with activities focused on haul road development, non-contact water channels, and tailings storage facility (“TSF”) Starter Dam foundation excavation.

 

Construction contracts for three sections of the external power lines and 3 substations were awarded to qualified Ecuadorian contractors this past September and recently received formal approval from the Corporación Nacional de Electricidad (“CNEL”).

For the year ended March 31, 2026

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data and unit cost data or otherwise stated)

 

Klohn Crippen Berger (KCB) mobilized its technical team to site to provide specialist Construction Quality Assurance (“CQA”) of TSF construction. To support ongoing operations and the ramp-up in activity, the Company maintained a regional workforce of 372 personnel as of March 31, 2026. Infrastructure development remains on schedule, highlighted by the timely completion of the ROM ore shed. Concurrently, earthworks and site preparation for the process plant were completed in line with the updated budget and schedule, supported by continuous rock blasting and site leveling operations.

 

As a key milestone, the Company executed and signed the definitive mining contract with China Railway 19th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. (“CRCC 19”) in early February 2026 for open-pit mining and stripping for the Construction Period and first 5 Operation Periods. CRCC 19 mobilized personnel and equipment to site immediately and transitioned into active construction, including access road development to the open pit and initial stripping preparation. Complementing this, the construction team completed the installation of 80 prefabricated modules for the Phase 2 construction camp, positioning the project to accommodate the peak workforce requirement.

 

Precious Metals Purchase Agreement

 

The Company has a precious metals purchase agreement (“PMPA”) with Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd. (“Wheaton”) to fund the construction of the El Domo project. Under the terms of the agreement, Wheaton will provide total cash consideration of $175.5 million, available in four installments subject to specific conditions. In exchange, the Company is committed to delivering 50% of gold production and 75% of silver production until cumulative deliveries reach 145,000 ounces of gold and 4,600,000 ounces of silver, respectively. At these thresholds, the delivery obligations decrease to 33% for gold and 50% for silver.

 

For each ounce delivered during the deposit reduction period, the Company receives a cash production payment equal to 18% of the prevailing spot market price. The remaining balance (82%) of the market value is applied as a non-cash credit to reduce the outstanding upfront deposit. Once the deposit balance is fully credited, the cash production payment increases to 22% of the spot market price for all subsequent deliveries.

 

The Company accounts for the PMPA under IFRS 15. The upfront deposit is recorded as a contract liability. Management has determined the deposit contains a significant financing component due to the significant timing difference between receiving the deposit and the commencement of metal deliveries. Accordingly, the liability is accreted over time, with the accretion recorded as finance costs. Revenue, equivalent to the Production Payment, is recognized when control of the metal transfers to Wheaton upon delivery, at which point a corresponding portion of the contract liability is derecognized. As the amounts received under the PMPA represent a contract liability (deferred revenue) and not a financial liability or borrowing, the related proceeds are presented within cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows. The only way in which the contract liability / deferred revenue will be released in the future is through the revenue account (which forms part of operating activities in the cash flow statement).

 

In October 2025, the Company received the first installment of $43.9 million under the PMPA. In Fiscal 2026, the Company recorded interest expense of $1.0 million related to the accretion of the significant financing component. As of March 31, 2026, the carrying amount of the contract liability related to the Wheaton PMPA was $44.9 million.

 

(vi)Condor Project

 

The Condor Project in southern Ecuador is 98.7% owned by the Company and was acquired through the purchase of Adventus on July 31, 2024.

 

On May 12, 2025, the Company reported an updated independent mineral resources estimate, focused on the higher-grade material that would be accessible though underground mining and prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Project ("NI 43-101").

 

In Fiscal 2026, total expenditures incurred and capitalized were $3.0 million, in which 2,268 metres of diamond drilling was completed for the purpose to define and upgrade the mineral resources to support potential underground mining. A PEA study for an underground mining operation was completed in Q3 Fiscal 2026. The PEA underscores significant potential for the project. The water permits have been approved by the relevant government authorities. Technical reports for the environmental license were also completed and submitted to the related government authorities for review. The Environmental Impact Study ("EIS") for the Condor Project has been approved by the Ministry of Energy and Mines(“MAE”).

 

The Company initiated the Free, Prior and Informed Consultation ("FPIC") and Citizen Participation Process ("PPC") required to obtain the small-scale mining environmental license, targeted for Q2 F2027. Once this license is secured, the Company will commence the development of underground access tunnels into the Camp and Los Cuyes deposits to facilitate advanced underground exploration and resource definition.

Based on these results, a Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility Study Report can be completed for a 5,000 t/d underground mine, processing plant and related tailings storage facility per the PEA dated December 22, 2025. The company will also pool with two other property owners that have “small-scale mining permits” and the local community to build a 1,000 tonne per day mill, TSF starter dam, and associated infrastructure. The total capital expenditures at the Condor Project are estimated at $10.9 million in Fiscal 2027.

  

6.ACQUISITION OF ZAAV

 

In Fiscal 2026, the Company signed a Share Purchase Agreement with Chaarat and a Cooperation Agreement with the NIA.

 

Pursuant to the Share Purchase agreement dated November 11, 2025 and the Supplemental Amendment deed to the Share Purchase Agreement dated December 24, 2025 (collectively the “SPA”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fortune Gold Mining (H.K.) Limited (“FGHK”) and Wonder Success Limited (H.K.) (“WS”), agreed to acquire a 100% interest in ZAAV Holdings Limited (“ZHL”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ZAAV for a cash consideration of $92 million. ZAAV holds a 100% interest in a mining license (approximately 7 km²) hosting the Tulkubash and Kyzyltash deposits, as well as surrounding exploration licenses (27.42 km²) hosting the Karator and Ishakuld gold zones. Following the acquisition, FGHK and WS will hold 99.99% and 0.01% interest in ZAAV, respectively.

 

In addition, according to the SPA, after the Company’s acquisition of 100% interest in ZAAV via its subsidiaries FGHK and WS, the Company shall (1) allocate 30% of the interest in ZAAV to the NIA and (2) make payments in aggregate of $70M to the NIA when certain conditions are met. Details are prescribed in the Cooperation Agreement with the NIA dated January 16, 2026. Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement:

 

·The Company will carry out an internal restructuring to transfer 30% of ZAAV’s total outstanding shares from ZHL to WS and 70% of ZAAV’s total outstanding shares from ZHL to FGHK. WS will then transfer its 30% interest in ZAAV to an entity designated by the Kyrgyz Republic for nil consideration. After this transfer, ZAAV will operate as a JVC in which FGHK holds a 70% interest and the Kyrgyz Party holds a 30% free-carried interest.

 

·The $70 million payment to the NIA is payable in two stages: a payment of $60 million upon the Kyrgyz Government issuing a waiver of its statutory pre-emptive right on the Projects and extension of the JVC’s mining license validity period to 2062, and a payment of $10 million after the achievement of other milestones.

SILVERCORP METALS INC.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the year ended March 31, 2026
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data and unit cost data or otherwise stated)

 

On January 27, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in ZAAV under the SPA with the $92 million payment made to Chaarat as the Kyrgyz government issued a waiver of its statutory pre-emptive right, and 100% of ZAAV’s common shares were transferred to FGHK and WS. Prior to the closing of the transaction, ZAAV’s intercompany balance payable to Chaarat was novated to the Company.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the $70 million payment to the NIA had not been made, and the 30% interest in ZAAV had not been transferred.

 

The $70 million payment meets the definition of a contingent liability under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. At the acquisition date, no present obligation exists as the triggering events are not wholly within the Company's control. Therefore, the Company has disclosed a contingent liability of $70 million, which has not been recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The purchase consideration was allocated to identifiable assets acquired on a relative fair value basis. Intragroup balances arising from the novation of shareholder loans were eliminated on consolidation and excluded from the cost of acquisition.

 

Table below summarizes the total acquisitions incurred and their allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

Consideration Paid    
Cash consideration  $92,000 
Transaction costs   2,460 
Total acquisition costs to be allocated  $94,460 

 

Cost of assets and liabilities acquired    
Cash and cash equivalents  $247 
Mineral rights and properties   84,018 
Property, plant and equipment   10,711 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (517)
Net assets acquired  $94,460 

 

As of May 13, 2026, the Company has paid $60 million to the NIA, following the Kyrgyz Government extending the mining license validity period to July 25, 2062, and the Company has completed the restructuring with the 30% free-carried interest in ZAAV transferred to Kyrgyzaltyn (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Kyrgyz Republic).

 

Since the acquisition, the Company is actively advancing and de-risking the fully-permitted, pre-construction stage Tulkubash oxide-gold project toward construction and targets to commence open pit pre-stripping in Q2 F2027.

(b)Overview of the Financial Results for year ended March 31, 2026

 

Net loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2026 was $9.9 million or $0.05 per share, compared to net income of $58.2 million or $0.29 per share in Fiscal 2025. The loss was mainly driven by a $178.5 million charge on the derivative liabilities.

 

The adjusted net income attributable to equity shareholders of the Company1 was $150.8 million or $0.69 per share, after excluding the $178.5 million charge on the derivative liabilities, $10.5 million non-cash or non-routine expenses, and $33.7 million gain on mark-to-market investments, compared to $75.1 million or $0.37 per share in Fiscal 2025.

 

The adjusted EBITDA attributable to equity shareholders of the Company1 was $238.1 million or $1.09 per share compared to $132.2 million or $0.65 per share in Fiscal 2025.

 

Revenue for the year ended March 31, 2026 was $438.1 million, up 47% compared to $298.9 million in Fiscal 2025. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase of $143.0 million arising from the increase in the realized selling prices of silver and gold and net of a decrease of $4.4 million as a result of less metal sold.

 

The following table summarizes the metals sold, net realized selling price and revenue achieved for each metal.

Production costs expensed for the year ended March 31, 2026 were $115.3 million, up $7.0 million compared to $108.4 million in Fiscal 2025. The increase was mainly due to a 12% increase in ore being processed to produce the metals sold, partially offset by the decrease in per tonne production cost at the Ying Mining District.

 

Depreciation and amortization for the year ended March 31, 2026 were $35.1 million, up 13% compared to $31.0 million in Fiscal 2025, mainly associated with the 12% increase in the total ore mined and processed.

 

The increase in the mineral resource taxes was mainly due to higher revenue achieved.

 

Items included in government fees and other taxes are as follows:

 

   Years ended March 31, 
   2026   2025   Change 
Government fees  $97   $74    31%

Other taxes were composed of surtax on value-added tax, land usage levy, stamp duty and other miscellaneous levies, duties and taxes imposed by the state and local Chinese government. For the year ended March 31, 2026, other taxes were $4.8 million, up 52% compared to $3.2 million in Fiscal 2025, mainly associated with the increase in revenue.

 

Mine general and administrative expenses for the mine operations for the year ended March 31, 2026 were $12.1 million, down 4% compared to $12.6 million in Fiscal 2025. After the completion of the organizational restructuring for the Ecuador operations, the expenses incurred at the Quito office were recorded in corporate general and administration expenses. Items included in general and administrative expenses for the mine operations are as follows:

Salaries and benefits   8,291    7,176    16%
   $12,089   $12,599    (4)%

 

Income from mine operations for the year ended March 31, 2026 was $253.7 million, up 105% compared to $123.6 million in Fiscal 2025. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in the net realized metal selling prices of silver and gold, partially offset by an increase of $7.0 million in production cost. Income from mine operations at the Ying Mining District was $240.1 million, compared to $114.1 million in Fiscal 2025.

Production costs expensed in Q4 Fiscal 2026 were $29.7 million, down $5.0 million compared to $34.7 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025, mainly because of the decrease in per tonne production cost at the Ying Mining District.

 

The increase in the mineral resource taxes was mainly due to higher revenue achieved.

 

Items included in government fees and other taxes are as follows:

 

   Q4 Fiscal 2026   Q4 Fiscal 2025   Change 
Government fees  $23   $    %
Mineral rights royalty   2,209    1,041    112%
Other taxes   1,687    947    78%
   $3,919   $1,988    97%

 

Government fees include environmental protection fees paid to the state and local Chinese government. Mineral rights royalty is calculated based on certain percentages of revenue arising from the mineral resources that had not yet been compensated to the local government, in Q4 Fiscal 2026, mineral rights royalty were $2.2 million, up 112% compared to $1.0 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025, the increase is mainly due to the increase in revenue.

 

Other taxes were composed of surtax on value-added tax, land usage levy, stamp duty and other miscellaneous levies, duties and taxes imposed by the state and local Chinese government.

 

Mine general and administrative expenses for the mine operations in Q4 Fiscal 2026 were $3.1 million, up 45% compared to $2.2 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025. Items included in general and administrative expenses for the mine operations are as follows:

 

   Q4 Fiscal 2026   Q4 Fiscal 2025   Change 
Amortization and depreciation  $254   $296    (14)%
Office and administrative expenses   754    274    175%
Professional Fees   91    56    63%
Salaries and benefits   2,036    1,531    33%
   $3,135   $2,157    45%

 

Income from mine operations in Q4 Fiscal 2026 was $100.0 million, up 282% compared to $26.1 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in the net realized metal selling prices and decrease in production cost, partially offset by increases of $1.2 million in mineral rights royalties and $1 million in mine general and administrative expenses. Income from mine operations at the Ying Mining District was $96.0 million, compared to $25.9 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025. Income from mine operations at the GC Mine was $4.0 million, compared to $0.8 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025.

 

Corporate general and administrative expenses in Q4 Fiscal 2026 were $5.1 million, up 37% or $1.4 million, compared to $3.7 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025. The increase was mainly due to the accrual of professional fees for regulatory filings. Items included in corporate general and administrative expenses are as follows:

 

   Q4 Fiscal 2026   Q4 Fiscal 2025   Change 
Amortization and depreciation  $234   $148    58%

Share-based compensation   836    647    29%
   $5,147   $3,749    37%

 

Foreign exchange gain in Q4 Fiscal 2026 was $0.5 million compared to a loss of $0.6 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025, mainly driven by the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar as the functional currency of the corporate office of the Company and its immediate holding companies incorporated in the British Virgin Islands have been changed to the U.S. dollar from the Canadian dollar since October 2024.

 

Share of loss in associates in Q4 Fiscal 2026 was $0.2 million, compared to $1.5 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025. Share of income or loss in associates represent the Company’s equity pickup in NUAG and TIN.

Dilution loss on investment in associate in Q4 Fiscal 2026 was $0.3 million, compared to $nil in Q4 Fiscal 2025. The loss resulted from the Company's participation in NUAG's bought deal financing, which diluted the Company's ownership percentage.

Gain on investments in Q4 Fiscal 2026 was $6.6 million, an increase of $1.6 million compared to $4.9 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025. The gain was mainly attributable to the fair value change of mark-to-market investments.

 

Charge on fair valuation of derivative liabilities in Q4 Fiscal 2026 was a loss of $60.4 million compared to a loss of $20.6 in Q4 Fiscal 2025. The derivative liabilities include the conversion right of the $150.0 million convertible notes the Company issued in November 2024 and the warrants reclassified from equity reserve upon the change of functional currency of the corporate office of the Company in October 2024. Derivative liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date, and any changes to their fair value are through profit and loss. On March 18, 2026, the company entered into a supplemental indenture to amend the terms of the convertible notes, the amendment removed the company’s option to settle conversions of the convertible notes in cash. Following this amendment, the convertible right was derecognized from financial liabilities and reclassified to equity. Details of the convertible notes are described in section 10 - Convertible Notes below.

 

Other items primarily comprise property evaluation and business development expenses, gain or loss on disposal of plant and equipment, and other income or expenses.

Capital Resources

 

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain financial flexibility to continue as a going concern while optimizing growth and maximizing returns on investments for shareholders. The Company’s strategy to achieve these objectives is to invest its excess cash balance in a portfolio of primarily fixed income instruments.

 

The Company monitors its capital structure based on changes in operations and economic conditions, and may adjust the structure by repurchasing shares, issuing new shares, or issuing debt. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of current shareholders will be reduced, and such equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of the Company’s common shares.

 

In November 2024, the Company issued an aggregate amount of $150 million unsecured senior Convertible Notes on a private placement basis before transaction costs of $6.6 million. The Convertible Notes mature on December 15, 2029, and bear interest at 4.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2025. Details of the Convertible Notes are described in section 10 - Convertible Notes below.

 

As at March 31, 2026, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $422.3 million and working capital of $319.5 million. The Company also has a stream financing credit of $175.5 million for the El Domo Project construction (of which $131.6 million is undrawn as at March 31, 2026), and holds a portfolio of equity investment in associates and other companies with a total market value of $274.6 million as at March 31, 2026. Besides, on April 20, 2026, the Company entered into a syndicated term loan facilities agreement (the “Facilities”) with a syndicate of international banks. The Facilities provide for an aggregate principal amount of RMB1.5 billion (approximately $220 million). The Facilities consist of two tranches: Facility A (floating rate) in the amount of RMB452.5 million, which bears interest at CNH HIBOR plus a margin of 1.92% per annum; and Facility B in the amount of RMB1,047.5 million, which bears a fixed interest rate of 3.67% per annum. Interest rates on both tranches are subject to reduction based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. The Facilities have a maturity of three years from the date of initial drawdown. As of the date of the financial statements, the initial drawdown had not occurred. The Facilities are guaranteed by the company and certain of its subsidiaries and secured by certain accounts and share security. Proceeds from the Facilities are to be used for general corporate purposes and to support the company’s global working capital requirements, optimizing the Company’s capital structure and strengthening its financial flexibility.

 

The Company’s financial position at March 31, 2026 and the operating cash flows that are expected over the next 12 months lead the Company to believe that the Company’s liquid assets are sufficient to satisfy the Company’s Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2027 working capital requirements, fund currently planned capital expenditures, and to discharge liabilities as they come due. The Company remains well positioned to take advantage of strategic opportunities as they become available. Liquidity risks are discussed further in the “Risks and Uncertainties” section of this MD&A. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 

Contractual Obligation and Commitments

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The following table summarizes the remaining contractual maturities of the Company’s financial and non-financial liabilities, shown in contractual undiscounted cash flow as at March 31, 2026.

 

   Within a year   2-5 years   Total 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities  $85,163   $   $85,163 
Deposits received   20,888        20,888 
Convertible notes   7,125    171,395    178,520 
Lease obligation   330    1,026    1,356 
Income tax payable   15,574        15,574 
Total Contractual Obligation  $129,080   $172,421   $301,501 

 

The Company’s customers are required to make full payments as deposits prior to the shipment of its concentrate inventories, and the customers also have rights to demand repayment of any unused deposits paid.

 

Further details regarding the contractual terms of the convertible notes are provided in section 10 - Convertible Notes below. The Company actively monitors its exposure to this potential obligation and manages it as part of its overall liquidity risk management strategy.

10.Convertible Notes

 

On November 25, 2024, the Company issued the unsecured Convertible Senior Notes ("Convertible Notes") and received gross proceeds of $150 million, before transaction costs of $6.6 million. The Convertible Notes mature on December 15, 2029, and bear interest at 4.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2025.

 

Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder on or after September 15, 2029 (the "Free Conversion Date") until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Prior to the Free Conversion Date, the holders may elect to convert their Convertible Notes only under circumstances and fundamental changes occur as described in the convertible notes, including:

 

·A change in control where a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of our voting stock, or gains the power to elect a majority of our board of directors.

 

·The consummation of significant transactions such as certain mergers or consolidations pursuant to which our common shares will be converted or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, or sales of substantially all our assets that change the corporate structure or ownership.

 

·Approval by our shareholders of any plan for liquidation or dissolution.

 

·During any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day.

 

The initial conversion rate is 216.0761 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $4.628 per share), subject to adjustments as described in the Convertible Note

 

Prior to December 20, 2027, the Company may not redeem the notes except in the event of certain changes in Canadian tax law. At any time on or after December 20, 2027, and until maturity, the Company may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes for cash if the price of the Company’s common shares for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days, ending on the trading day prior to the date of notice of redemption, exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on each such day. The redemption price is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed. In the event of a fundamental change, the Company is required to offer to purchase its outstanding Convertible Notes at a cash purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, ensuring protection against major corporate transformations that could affect the value of the investment held by the holders.

 

Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes may be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, common shares or a combination thereof. As a result of the Company's right to elect to settle the conversion in cash or shares, the conversion feature represents a derivative liability which is accounted for initially and subsequently at fair value through profit or loss. The host debt contract is accounted for at amortized cost. Of the gross proceeds of $150 million, $39.1 million was allocated to the derivative liability component first, representing the fair value on November 25, 2024, the residual value of $110.9 million was allocated to the host loan. Transaction costs of $4.9 million associated with the host loan were capitalized to the liability whereas transaction costs of $1.7 million associated with the embedded derivative liability were expensed in the audited Consolidated Statements of Income. The $105.9 million net amount allocated to the host loan will be accreted to the face value of the Convertible Notes over the term to maturity using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 12.6%. There are no financial covenants associated with the Convertible Notes.

 

On March 18, 2026, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture to the Convertible Notes to remove the Company’s option to settle conversions of the Convertible Notes in cash. Following this amendment, upon conversion, the Company is required to settle the principal amount of the Notes exclusively through the issuance of common shares.

 

The Company assessed whether the contractual changes to the Convertible Notes resulted in the Notes being substantially modified and thus whether the Company should derecognize the Convertible Notes. The amendment did not result in a substantial modification of the financial liability under IFRS 9. However, given the contractual changes, the Company reassessed the classification of the embedded conversion feature. The Company concluded that the removal of the cash settlement alternative now causes the conversion option to meet the “fixed-for-fixed” condition under IAS 32, and thus the conversion feature is no longer accounted for as a derivative liability and instead meets the definition of equity. Accordingly, on the amendment date, the derivative liability was remeasured to its fair value, and that fair value was derecognized from financial liabilities and reclassified to equity. No gain or loss was recognized in profit or loss as a result of the reclassification.

11.Environmental Rehabilitation Provision

 

The estimated future environmental rehabilitation costs are based principally on the requirements of relevant authorities and the Company’s environmental policies. The provision is measured using management’s assumptions and estimates for future cash outflows. In view of uncertainties concerning environmental rehabilitation obligations, the ultimate costs could be materially different from the amounts estimated. The Company accrues these costs, which are determined by discounting costs using rates specific to the underlying obligation. Upon recognition of a liability for the environmental rehabilitation costs, the Company capitalizes these costs to the related mine and amortizes such amounts over the life of each mine on a unit-of-production basis. The accretion of the discount due to the passage of time is recognized as an increase in the liability and a finance expense.

 

As at March 31, 2026, the total inflated and undiscounted amount of estimated cash flows required to settle the Company’s environmental rehabilitation provision was $14.1 million (March 31, 2025 - $12.8 million), which has been discounted using an average discount rate of 1.98% (March 31, 2025 – 1.94%).

 

The accretion of the discounted charge for year ended March 31, 2026 was $0.2 million (Fiscal 2025 - $0.1 million), and reclamation expenditures incurred for year ended March 31, 2026 was $1.1 million (Fiscal 2025 - $0.8 million).

12.Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is exposed to a number of risks in conducting its business, including but not limited to: metal price risk as the Company derives its revenue from the sale of silver, lead, zinc, and gold; credit risk in the normal course of dealing with other companies and financial institutions; foreign exchange risk as the Company reports its financial statements in the U.S. dollar whereas the Company operates in jurisdictions that utilize other currencies; equity price risk and interest rate risk as the Company has investments in marketable securities that are traded in the open market or earn interest at market rates that are fixed to maturity or at variable interest rates; inherent risk of uncertainties in estimating mineral reserves and mineral resources; political risks; economic and social risks related to conducting business in foreign jurisdictions such as China, Ecuador, and Mexico; environmental risks; risks related to its relations with employees and local communities where the Company operates, and emerging risks relating to the widespread outbreak of epidemics, pandemics, or other health crises, which has to date resulted in profound health and economic impacts globally and which presents future risks and uncertainties that are largely unknown at this time.

 

Management and the Board continuously assess risks that the Company is exposed to and attempt to mitigate these risks where practical through a range of risk management strategies.

 

These and other risks are described in the Company’s Annual Information Form, NI 43-101 technical reports, Form 40-F, and annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Readers are encouraged to refer to these documents for a more detailed description of the risks and uncertainties inherent to Silvercorp’s business.

 

(a)Financial Instruments Risk Exposure

 

The Company is exposed to financial risks, including metal price risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and liquidity risk. The Company's exposures and management of each of those risks is described in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026 under Note 25 "Financial Instruments", along with the financial statement classification, the significant assumptions made in determining the fair value, and amounts of income, expenses, gains and losses associated with financial instruments. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. The following provides a description of the risks related to financial instruments and how management manages these risks:

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they arise. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring actual and projected cash flows and matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. Cash flow forecasting is performed regularly to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and our holdings of cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments.

 

Foreign exchange risk

 

The Company reports its financial statements in US dollars. The functional currency of the head office, Canadian subsidiaries, intermediate holding companies, and subsidiaries in Ecuador, is the US dollar. The functional currency of all Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese yuan ("RMB"). The functional currency of all Kyrgyz subsidiaries is the Kyrgyz som ("KGS"). The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily relating to financial instruments that are denominated in RMB, which would impact the Company's other comprehensive income or loss; and financial instruments that are denominated in the Canadian dollar ("CAD"), the Australian dollar ("AUD") and the Kyrgyz som ("KGS"), which would impact the Company's net income.

Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, lease liabilities, convertible notes, and the mark-to-market value of derivative instruments. All of the Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments earn interest at market rates that are fixed to maturity or at variable interest rates. Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the Company’s net income.

 

As at March 31, 2026, the Company had $1.2 million in lease obligations that are subject to annualized interest rate ranging from 7.0% to 15.6%, and $117.2 million convertible notes liabilities that are discounted at 12.6% of the Company's unsecured senior convertible notes. The principle of the convertible note is $150.0 million bearing a fixed coupon rate of 4.75% with a maturity date of December 15, 2029. As the amount of the lease obligation is immaterial and the convertible notes bear interest at fixed rates, they are not subject to significant interest rate risk.

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily associated to accounts receivable, prepayments to contractors and suppliers, due from related parties, cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments. The carrying amount of assets included on the statements of financial position represents the maximum credit exposure.

 

The Company undertakes credit evaluations on counterparties as necessary, requires deposits from customers prior to delivery, and has monitoring processes intended to mitigate credit risks. There were no material amounts in trade or other receivables which were past due on March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025 - $nil).

 

Equity price risk

 

The Company holds certain marketable securities that will fluctuate in value as a result of trading on Canadian financial markets. As the Company’s marketable securities holdings are mainly in mining companies, the value will also fluctuate based on commodity prices. Based upon the Company’s portfolio as at March 31, 2026, a 10% increase (decrease) in the market price of the securities held, ignoring any foreign currency effects, would have resulted in an increase (decrease) to the net income of $5.1 million.

 

(b)Metal price risk

 

The Company primarily produces and sells silver, lead, zinc, gold and other metals in different concentrates. As the company does not operate a smelter, the Company’s revenues are in large part derived from sales of silver, lead, zinc, and gold in concentrates produced by the company's mining and milling activities to different smelters or trading companies. The sales price for silver is based on the Shanghai White Platinum & Silver Exchange as quoted at www.ex-silver.com; lead, zinc and copper are based on the Shanghai Metals Exchange as quoted at www.shmet.com; and gold is based on the Shanghai Gold Exchange as quoted at www.sge.com.cn, after the deduction of certain smelter charges by smelters.

 

The prices of these commodities have fluctuated widely and are affected by factors beyond the Company’s control including international and regional economic and political conditions; emerging risks related to pandemics; expectations of inflation; currency exchange fluctuations; interest rates; global or regional supply and demand for jewelry and industrial products containing silver and other metals; sale of silver and other metals by central banks and other holders, forward selling activities, speculators and producers of silver and other metals; availability and costs of metal substitutes; and increased or decreased supplies. The effects of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the viability of the Company’s exploration projects and mining operations, cannot be accurately predicted and thus the price of base and precious metals may have a significant influence on the market price of the Company’s shares and the value of its projects.

If silver and other metal prices were to decline significantly for an extended period of time, the Company may be unable to continue operations, develop its projects, or fulfil obligations under agreements with the Company’s non-controlling interest holders or under its permits or licenses.

 

(c)Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates may not reflect the amount of minerals that may ultimately be extracted as uncertainties involved in the estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

 

The Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves estimates of mineral assets as disclosed to investors/shareholders are based on a number of assumptions made by the relevant Qualified Persons in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") of Canada. Any report of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves estimates of our mineral assets not reviewed and checked by a Qualified Person is not NI 43-101 compliance and cannot be relied on.

 

While operating in China, to apply or renew mining permit, one must follow China regulations. According to Chinese mining related laws and regulations, to apply or renew a mining permit in China, a report of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves estimates completed by certified (qualified) Chinese institute shall be reviewed by a panel organized by Industry Association such as provincial mining association. Then the report needs to be filed with the Ministry of Natural Resources or the provincial natural resources authorities (dependent on the size). Once a mining permit has been granted, the report of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves estimates does not have to be updated until the time to renew the mining permit. As the Chinese report generally use different standards, including cut-off grade and cut-off time data or effective date, it may have different results from NI 43-101 Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves estimates.

 

Mines in China were required to file a “Dynamic Reconnaissance Report” on Mineral resources every year, which reported tonnage and grades mined and remaining at the year-end during the valid period of the mining permit from the zones in which the resources were reported in the first report of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves estimates which filed with Department of Natural Resources before applying the mining permit. Based on the new mining law of China, effectively July 1, 2025, the “Dynamic Reconnaissance Report” regulation is annulled.

 

As the Chinese government doesn’t require an updated report of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves estimates every year, any new discovery after the mining permit is issued and production may not be reflected in the annual “Dynamic Reconnaissance Report”. Accordingly, this “Dynamic Reconnaissance Report” may have different results from a NI 43-101 report which may have been completed for that year as it will include any new discovery.

 

There is a degree of uncertainty attributable to the estimation of Mineral Resources, Mineral Reserves, mineralization and corresponding grades being mined or dedicated to future production. Until Mineral Resources, Mineral Reserves or mineralization are actually mined and processed, the quantity of metals and grades must be considered as estimates only. The figures for mineral reserves and mineral resources contained in this MD&A are estimates only and based on a number of assumptions, any adverse changes to which could require us to lower our mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates and no assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved, that the indicated level of recovery will be realized or that mineral reserves could be mined or processed profitably. Our estimates of economically recoverable reserves are primarily based upon interpretations of geological models, which make various assumptions, such as assumptions with respect to prices, costs, regulations, and environmental and geological factors. These assumptions have a significant effect on the amounts recognized in our technical reports and our financial statements, and any material difference between these assumptions and actual events may affect the economic viability of our properties or any project undertaken by us.

 

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, including many factors beyond the Company’s control. Such estimation is a subjective process, and the accuracy of any reserve or resource estimate is a function of the quantity and quality of available data and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation. Short-term operating factors relating to the Mineral Reserves, such as the need for orderly development of the ore bodies or the processing of new or different ore grades, may cause the mining operation to be unprofitable in any particular accounting period. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available. Any material change in quantity of Mineral Resources, Mineral Reserves, mineralization, or grade may affect the economic viability of the Company’s projects. In addition, there can be no assurance that precious or other metal recoveries in small-scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger scale tests or during production, or that the known and experienced recoveries will continue.

(d)Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates may change adversely, and such changes may negatively impact our results of operations or financial conditions

 

Unless otherwise indicated, mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates presented in the Company’s filings with securities regulatory authorities, press releases and other public statements that may be made from time to time are based upon estimates made by the Company’s personnel and independent geologists/mining engineers. These estimates are imprecise and depend upon geologic interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable. The mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates contained in this offering memorandum have been determined based on assumed future prices, cut-off grades, operating costs and other estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. There can be no assurance that these estimates will be accurate, that mineral reserve, mineral resource or other mineralization figures will be accurate, or that the mineralization could be mined or processed profitably. The interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of the Company’s mineral deposits contains inherent uncertainty. Any material reductions in estimates of mineralization, or of the Company’s ability to extract this mineralization, could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

 

The market price of silver, lead, zinc, gold, and other metals is subject to fluctuations, which can affect the economic viability of developing our Mineral Reserves for a specific project or lead to a reduction in reserves. There is no guarantee that Mineral Resource estimates will be reclassified as Proven or Probable Reserves or that the mineralization can be mined or processed profitably. Inferred Mineral Resources are highly uncertain in terms of their existence and economic and legal feasibility. Additionally, Mineral Resource estimates may be revised based on actual production experience. The evaluation of reserves and resources is influenced by economic and technological factors that may change over time. If our Mineral Reserve or Mineral Resource figures are decreased in the future, it could have a negative impact on our cash flows, earnings, operational results, and financial condition.

 

(e)Mineral exploration activities have a high risk of failure and may never result in finding ore bodies sufficient to develop a producing mine

 

The long-term operation of our business and profitability is dependent, in part, on the costs and success of our exploration and development programs. Mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There can be no assurance that our mineral exploration and development programs will result in any discoveries of bodies of commercial mineralization. There can also be no assurance that even if commercial quantities of mineralization are discovered that a mineral property will be brought into commercial production. Development of our mineral properties will follow only upon obtaining satisfactory exploration results.

 

Discovery of mineral deposits is dependent upon a number of factors, including the technical skill of the exploration personnel involved. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit once discovered is also dependent upon a number of factors, some of which are the particular attributes of the deposit (such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure), metals prices and government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. Most of the above factors are beyond our control. As a result, there can be no assurance that our exploration and development programs will yield reserves to replace or expand current resources. Unsuccessful exploration or development programs could have a material adverse effect on our operations and profitability.

(f)Mineral projects have a finite life and eventual closure of the mineral projects will entail costs and risks regarding on-going, rehabilitation, and compliance with environmental standards

 

All mining operations have a finite life and will eventually close. The key costs and risks for mine closures are (i) long-term management of permanent engineered structures; (ii) achievement of environmental remediation rehabilitation and closure standards (including the assessment, funding and implementation of post-closure polluted and extraneous water pumping treatment); (iii) orderly retrenchment of employees; and (iv) relinquishment of the site with associated permanent structures and community development infrastructure and programs to new owners. The successful completion of these tasks is dependent on our ability to successfully implement negotiated agreements with the relevant government authorities, communities, and employees. The consequences of a difficult closure range from increased closure costs and handover delays to on-going environmental rehabilitation costs and damage to our reputation if a desired outcome cannot be achieved, all of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

(g)Our activities and business could be adversely affected by the effects of public health crises in regions where we conduct our business operations

 

Global financial conditions and the global economy in general have at various times in the past and may in the future, experience extreme volatility in response to economic shocks or other events. Many industries including the mining industry, are impacted by volatile conditions in response to the widespread outbreak of epidemics, pandemics, or other health crises. Such public health crises and the responses of governments and private actors can result in disruptions and volatility in economies, financial markets, and global supply chain as well as declining trade and market sentiment and reduced mobility of people, all of which could impact commodity prices, interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk and inflation.

 

There is no guarantee that we will not experience disruptions to some of the active mining operations due to any health epidemics in the future. Any spread of public health crises could materially and adversely impact our business, including without limitation, employee health, workforce availability and productivity, limitations on travel, supply chain disruptions, increased insurance premiums, increased costs and reduced efficiencies, the availability of industry experts and personnel, restrictions on our exploration and drilling programs and/or the timing to process drill and other metallurgical testing and the slowdown or temporary suspension of operations at some or all of our properties, resulting in reduced production volumes. Although we have the capacity to continue certain administrative functions remotely, many other functions, including mining operations, cannot be conducted remotely. Any such disruptions could have an adverse effect on our production, revenue, net income and business.

 

(h)Market conditions may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition

 

Many industries, including the mining industry, are impacted by market conditions. Some of the key impacts of the recent financial market turmoil include risks relating to public health crises, contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, devaluations and high volatility in global equity, commodity, foreign exchange and precious metals markets, and a lack of market liquidity. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates, and tax rates may adversely affect our growth and profitability. Specifically: (i) the volatility prices for silver, lead, zinc, gold and other metals we sold may impact our revenue, profits, losses, and cash flow; (ii) volatile energy prices, commodity and consumable prices and currency exchange rates would impact our production costs; and (iii) the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets may impact the valuation of our equity and other securities. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

(i)Actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns may differ significantly from those we have anticipated, and future development activities may not result in profitable mining operations

 

There is no assurance if and when a particular mineral property of ours can enter into production. The amount of future production is based on the estimates prepared by or for us. The capital and operating costs to take our projects into production or maintain or increase production levels may be significantly higher than anticipated. Capital and operating costs of production and economic returns are based on estimates prepared by or for us and may differ significantly from their actual values. There can be no assurance that our actual capital and operating costs will not be higher than currently anticipated. In addition, the construction and development of mines and infrastructure are complex. Resources invested in construction and development may yield outcomes that may differ significantly from those anticipated by us.

 

(j)We may fail to successfully acquire and integrate future acquisitions into existing operations

 

If we plan to acquire mineral assets in other overseas jurisdictions, the successful completion of such acquisitions are subject to risks and uncertainties relating to the relevant countries or regions, including but not limited to, (i) exposure to international, regional and local economic and conditions and regulatory policies; (ii) exposure to different legal standards and ability to enforce contracts in some jurisdictions; (iii) changes in legal development and enforcement; (iv) restrictions or requirements relating to foreign investments, in particular, on mineral resources; and (v) compliance with the requirements of applicable sanctions, anti-bribery and related laws and regulations.

 

If we make other acquisitions, any positive effects will depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to: integration of the acquired business or property in a timely and efficient manner; maintaining our financial and strategic focus while integrating the acquired business or property; implementing uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies at the acquired business, as appropriate; and to the extent that we make an acquisition outside of the markets in which we have previously operated, conducting and managing operations in a new operating environment.

 

Acquiring additional businesses or properties could place pressure on our cash reserves if such acquisitions involve cash consideration or if such acquisitions involve share consideration, existing shareholders may experience dilution. The integration of our existing operations with any acquired business may require significant expenditures of time, attention, and funds. Achievement of the benefits expected from consolidation may require us to incur significant costs in connection with, among other things, implementing financial and planning systems. We may not be able to integrate the operations of a recently acquired business or restructure our previously existing business operations without encountering difficulties and delays. In addition, this integration may require significant attention from our management team, which may detract attention from our day-to-day operations.

 

Over the short-term, difficulties associated with integration could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and the price of our Common Shares. In addition, the acquisition of mineral properties may subject us to unforeseen liabilities, including environmental liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

(k)The permits and licenses required for our mining and exploration may not be granted or renewed

 

The company's mineral exploration and mining activities may only be conducted after the company has obtained or renewed its exploration or mining permits, land usage right, environmental approval, safety production permits and other permits and licenses related to our mining activities in accordance with the relevant mining laws and regulations. Under the Chinese laws and regulations, if there are residual reserves in a property when the mining permit in respect of such property expires, the holder of the expiring mining permit will be entitled to apply for an extension for an additional term. The Company believes that there will be no material substantive obstacle in renewing such permits as the company has renewed its mining permits, land usage right, environmental approval, safety production permits and other permits related to our mining activities in the past. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance as to whether the current relevant Chinese laws and regulations, as well as the current mining industry policy, will remain unchanged at the time of the extension application of such permits, nor can there be any assurance that the competent authorities will not use their discretion to deny or delay the renewal or the extension of relevant mining permits, land usage right, environmental approval, safety production permits and other permits related to our mining activities due to factors outside the Company’s control. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully renew its mining permits on favourable terms, or at all once such permits expire.

 

In China, to renew or apply for capacity expansion for each mining permit, the Company is required to complete a series of studies and reports for the permit area, including 1) a Mineral Resource estimate to Chinese standards; 2) a mine development plan; 3) a mine reclamation plan, an environment and soil preservation plan; 4) Soil and Water Conservation Program Design; 5) Mineral Right Valuation Report including reconciliation of resource; 6) Project Social Stability Risk Assessment Report; 7) Land Usage Pre-examination and Site Selection Opinion; and 8) Apply for Project Filing with the Development and Reform Commission of the local City.

Once a mining permit is issued or renewed, from the environmental permit aspect, the following work and procedures are required: 1) to complete an Environment Impact Assessment Report update; 2) to be reviewed by independent panel; 3) to be filed with the provincial government authority; and 4) Self Environmental Protection evaluation and Acceptance after the mine development plan is completed. From a Safety Production aspect, the following work and procedures are required: 1) a detailed design for Safety Production Facility for the mine development plan by a qualified Chinese engineering firm; 2) to be reviewed by independent panels; 3) Filing with provincial Department of Emergency Response; 4) Safety Production Facility Completion Assessment Report by third party; and 5) Granting of the Safety Production License.

 

With the newly renewed mining permits at expanded capacity for SGX and HPG, two separate Environment Impact Assessment Report updates have been completed and reviewed by independent panels and are in the process of being filed with the provincial Environment Protection Department. For Safety Production approval, two separate Detailed Design for Safety Production Facility for the mine development plans by a qualified Chinese engineering firm were completed and reviewed by independent panels, pending filing with relevant authority and approvals.

 

Any failure to obtain or any delay in obtaining or retaining any required governmental approval and filing, permits or licenses could subject the Company to a variety of administrative penalties or other government actions and adversely impact the Company’s business operations. The relevant state and provincial authorities in China do not allow permit renewal applications to be submitted earlier than 30 days before the permit expiration date and a delay of 2 to 3 months for permit application processing times is not uncommon. The relevant state and provincial authorities in China do not issue formal documentation to guarantee permit renewal while processing renewal applications. If any administrative penalties and other government actions are imposed on or taken against the Company due to the Company’s failure to obtain, or delay in obtaining or retaining, any required governmental approvals, permits or licenses, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 

No guarantee can be given that the necessary exploration and mining permits and licenses will be issued to the Company or, if they are issued, that they will be renewed, or if renewed under reasonable operational and/or financial terms, or in a timely manner, or that the Company will be in a position to comply with all conditions that are imposed.

 

(l)The title to our mineral projects may be uncertain or defective, which puts our investments in such properties at risk

 

The validity of mining or exploration titles or claims or rights, which constitute most of our property holdings, can be uncertain and may be contested. Our properties may be subject to prior unregistered liens, agreements or transfers, Indigenous land claims, or undetected title defects. In some cases, we do not own or hold rights to the mineral concessions we mine. We have not conducted surveys of all the claims in which we hold direct or indirect interests and therefore, the precise area and location of such claims may be in doubt. No assurance can be given that applicable governments will not revoke or significantly alter the conditions of the applicable exploration and mining titles or claims, or that such exploration and mining titles or claims will not be challenged or impugned by third parties.

 

We may be unable to operate our properties as expected, or to enforce our rights to our properties. Any defects in title to our properties, or the revocation of our rights to mine, could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

 

We operate in countries with developing mining laws, and changes in such laws could materially impact our rights or interests to our properties. We are also subject to expropriation risk, including the risk of expropriation or extinguishment of property rights based on a perceived lack of development or advancement. Expropriation, extinguishment of rights and any other such similar governmental actions would likely have a material adverse effect on our operations and profitability.

 

In the jurisdictions in which we operate, legal rights applicable to mining concessions are different and separate from legal rights applicable to surface lands. Accordingly, title holders of mining concessions in many jurisdictions must agree with surface landowners on compensation in respect of mining activities conducted on such land. We do not hold title to all of the surface lands at many of our operations and rely on contracts or other similar rights to conduct surface activities.

Title insurance is generally not available for mineral properties in China and the Company’s ability to ensure that it has obtained secure claims to individual mineral properties or mining concessions may be severely constrained. Accordingly, the Company may have little or no recourse as a result of any successful challenge to title to any of its properties. The Company’s properties may be subject to prior unregistered liens, agreements or transfers, land claims or undetected title defects which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to develop or exploit the properties.

  

(m)Non-controlling interest shareholders of our subsidiaries could materially affect our results of operations and financial conditions

 

Our interests in various projects may, in certain circumstances, become subject to the risks normally associated with the conduct of non-controlling interest shareholders. The existence or occurrence of one or more of the following events could have a material adverse impact on our profitability or the viability of our interests held with non-controlling interest shareholders, which could have a material adverse impact on our business prospects, results of operations and financial conditions: (i) disagreements with non-controlling interest shareholders on how to conduct exploration; (ii) inability of non-controlling interest shareholders to meet their obligations to the applicable entity or third parties; and (iii) disputes or litigation between shareholders regarding budgets, development activities, reporting requirements and other matters.

 

(n)We may not successfully acquire additional commercially mineable mineral rights

 

Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable ore deposits and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of Mineral Reserves will be realized or that any identified mineral deposit will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) ore body which can be legally and economically exploited.

 

Our future growth and productivity will depend, in part, on our ability to identify and acquire additional mineral rights, and on the costs and results of continued exploration and development programs. Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature and is frequently non-productive. Substantial expenditures are required to: (i) establish Mineral Reserves through drilling and metallurgical and other testing techniques; (ii) determine metal content and metallurgical recovery processes to extract metal from the ore; and (iii) construct, renovate or expand mining and processing facilities.

 

In addition, if we discover a mineral deposit, it will likely take at least several years from the initial phases of exploration until production is possible. During this time, the economic feasibility of production may change.

 

Our success at completing any acquisitions will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to identifying acquisitions that fit our business strategy; negotiating acceptable terms with the seller of the business or property to be acquired; and obtaining approval from regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions of the business or property to be acquired. As a result of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that we will successfully acquire additional mineral rights.

 

(o)Our business requires significant and continuous capital investment and we may experience difficulty obtaining financing

 

Our operations and future growth require a high level of capital expenditure. We have invested significant amount in the past and will continue to invest in maintaining and expanding our mining operations. The amount of our capital expenditure depends on a number of factors, such as the projected production mine plan over the life of mine, refurbishing infrastructure, replacement of equipment due to wear and tear and availability of funding for our exploration projects.

 

In addition, if more of our exploration programs are successful in establishing ore of commercial tonnage and grade, additional funds will be required for the development of the ore body and to place it in commercial production. Therefore, our ability to continue exploration and development activities, if any, will depend in part on our ability to obtain suitable financing.

 

We intend to fund our capital expenditures, future acquisitions, and plan of operations from working capital, proceeds of production, external financing, strategic alliances, sale of property interests and other financing alternatives. The sources of external financing that we may use for these purposes include project or bank financing, or public or private offerings of equity or debt. Our ability to obtain external financing in the future at a reasonable costs are subject to a variety of uncertainties, including, among others: (i) our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; (ii) the condition of the global and domestic financial markets; and (iv) changes in the monetary policy of the relevant jurisdictions with respect to bank interest rates and lending practices. There is no assurance that those sources of external financing will continue to be available as required or on suitable terms, or at all. If we require additional funds and cannot obtain them on acceptable terms when required or at a reasonable financing costs or at all, we may be unable to fulfill our working capital needs, upgrade our existing facilities or expand our business. These or other factors may also prevent us from entering into transactions that would otherwise benefit our business or implementing our future strategies. Any of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, another source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. There is no assurance this source of financing will continue to be available as required or on suitable terms, or at all. If it is available, future equity financings may result in substantial dilution to shareholders. Another alternative for the financing of further exploration would be the offering by us of an interest in the properties to be earned by another party or parties carrying out further exploration or development thereof. There can be no assurance we will be able to conclude any such agreements, on favorable terms or at all. The failure to obtain financing could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy and results of operations and financial condition.

 

(p)We operate in a highly competitive industry

 

The mining industry in general is intensely competitive and there is no assurance that a ready market will exist for the sale of metal concentrate, by us. Marketability of natural resources which may be discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations including regulations relating to prices, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of such factors cannot be predicted but they may result in us not receiving an adequate return on our capital.

 

We may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring additional mining properties because we must compete with other individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial resources, operational experience, and technical capabilities than us. We may also encounter increasing competition from other mining companies in our efforts to hire experienced mining professionals. Competition for exploration resources at all levels is currently very intense, particularly affecting the availability of workforce. Increased competition could adversely affect our ability to attract necessary capital funding or acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future.

 

(q)A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations

 

General economic conditions may adversely affect our growth, profitability, and ability to obtain financing. Events in global financial markets in the past several years have had a profound impact on the global economy. Many industries, including the silver and gold mining industry, have been and continue to be impacted by these market conditions. Some of the key impacts of the current financial market turmoil include contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, inflationary pressures, devaluations, high volatility in global equity, commodity, foreign exchange and precious metal markets and a lack of market confidence and liquidity. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates and tax rates, may adversely affect our growth, profitability and ability to obtain financing. A number of issues related to economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including:

 

·contraction in credit markets could impact the costs and availability of financing and our overall liquidity;

 

·the volatility of silver, lead, zinc, gold and other metal prices would impact our revenues, profits, losses and cash flow;

 

·recessionary pressures could adversely impact demand for our production;

 

·volatile energy, commodity and consumables prices and currency exchange rates could impact our production costs;

 

·the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets could impact the valuation of our equity and other securities; and

 

·significant disruption to the global economic conditions caused by public health crises.

(r)We rely on third-party contractors for development, construction, mining and ore transportation work

 

Our different projects have used third-party contractors for development, construction, and mining based on designs, plans and programs designed by third-party engineering consulting companies or by ourselves. Our operations may be affected by the performance of the third-party contractors. Although we monitor the works of the third-party contractors to ensure that they are carried out on time, on budget and in accordance with our planning and specifications, we may not be able to control the quality, safety and environmental standards of the works conducted by the third-party contractors. Contractors may not follow government safety policies and regulations, and our operational protocols in place to minimize the risk of accidents, casualties, or fatalities happening, and in that event, it may significantly impact our operations which may lead to temporary suspension of our mining operations or closure.

  

(s)The production, processing and product delivery capabilities of our mining assets rely on their infrastructure being adequate and remaining available

 

Our operations depend on adequate infrastructure of our mining assets. Roads, power sources, transport infrastructure and water supplies are essential for the conduct of these operations and the availability and costs of these utilities and infrastructure affect capital and operating costs and, therefore, our ability to maintain expected levels of production and results of operations. Unusual weather or other natural phenomena, sabotage or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could impact the development of a project, reduce production volumes, increase extraction or exploration costs, or delay the transportation of raw materials to the mines and projects, and commodities to end customers. Any such issues arising in respect of the infrastructure supporting or on our sites could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

 

(t)We may not be able to maintain adequate and uninterrupted supplies of utilities

 

Our mining and ore processing processes require adequate and stable supply of electricity and water. No assurance can be given that we would not be subject to any power shortage, power shutdown and water shortfall in the future. In case of a power shortage, power shutdown or water shortfall, our operation might be disrupted or suspended. Our business, financial conditions and results of operation might be materially affected.

 

(u)Our reputation in the communities in which we operate could deteriorate

 

The continued success of our existing operations and its future projects are in part dependent upon broad support of and a healthy relationship with the respective local communities and making a sound social program and local employment plan, in addition to conducting operations in a manner that is not detrimental to the environment. If it is perceived that we were not respecting or advancing the economic and social progress and safety of the communities in which we operate, our reputation and shareholder value could be damaged, which could have a negative impact on our “social license to operate”, our ability to operate, and our financial performance, and to secure new resources.

 

The consequences of negative community reaction could therefore have a material adverse impact on the costs, profitability, ability to finance or even the closure of an operation and ability to renew or obtain the required permits, licenses, or approvals from government authority. If our operations are delayed or shut down as a result of political and community instability, our earnings may be constrained, and the long-term value of our business could be adversely impacted. Even in cases where no action adverse to us is actually taken, the uncertainty associated with such political or community instability could negatively impact the perceived value of our assets and mining investments and, consequently, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Failure to comply with the social program and local employment plan could adversely impact upon our social license to operate and may result in the suspension and/or cancellation of our mining rights by government.

 

(v)We are subject to environmental, health and safety laws, regulation, and permits that may subject us to material costs, liabilities and obligations

 

The Company’s activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing environmental protection and employee health and safety, in jurisdictions where our mineral assets are located. These laws address emissions into the air, discharges into water, management of waste, management of hazardous substances, protection of natural resources, antiquities and endangered species, and reclamation of lands disturbed by mining operations. The Company’s Chinese subsidiaries are required to have been issued environmental permits and safety production permits with various expiration dates. These permits are also subject to periodic inspection by government authorities. Failure to pass the inspections may result in penalties. No guarantee can be given that the necessary permits will be issued to the Company or, if they are issued, that they will be renewed, or if renewed under reasonable operational and/or financial terms, or in a timely manner, or that the Company will be in a position to comply with all conditions that are imposed. Failure to comply with the relevant jurisdiction's environmental laws and safety production regulations could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the year ended March 31, 2026

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data and unit cost data or otherwise stated)

 

Nearly all mining projects require government approval and permits relating to environmental, social, land and water usage, community matters, and other matters. There are also laws and regulations prescribing reclamation activities on some mining properties. Legislation, regulation and law related to mining in jurisdictions where our mineral assets are located are evolving toward higher standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and increasing responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations may require significant capital outlays on behalf of us and may cause material changes or delays in our intended activities.

  

There can be no assurance that we have been or will be at all times in complete compliance with current and future environmental, and health and safety laws, and the status of permits will not materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Amendments to current Chinese and other relevant jurisdiction’s laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining companies or more stringent implementation thereof could have a material adverse impact on us and cause increases in capital expenditure, production costs or reductions in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in the development of new mining properties. It is possible that future changes in these laws or regulations could have a significant adverse impact on some portion of our business, causing us to re-evaluate those activities at that time. Our compliance with environmental laws and regulations entails uncertain costs.

 

(w)Our operations involve significant risks and hazards inherent to the mining industry

 

Mining is inherently dangerous and the Company’s operations are subject to a number of risks and hazards including, without limitation: environmental hazards; discharge of pollutants or hazardous chemicals; industrial accidents; failure of processing and mining equipment; labour disputes; supply problems and delays; encountering unusual or unexpected geologic formations or other geological or grade problems; encountering unanticipated ground or water conditions; cave-ins, pit wall failures, flooding, rock bursts and fire; periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions; equipment breakdown; other unanticipated difficulties or interruptions in development, construction or production; other acts of God or unfavourable operating conditions; and health and safety risks associated with spread of pandemics, and any future emergence and spread of similar pathogens.

 

Such risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties or processing facilities, personal injury or death, loss of key employees, environmental damage, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability. Satisfying such liabilities may be very costly and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future cash flow, results of operations and financial condition.

 

(x)Our operations and financial results could be adversely affected by climate change

 

There is significant evidence of the effects of climate change on our planet and an intensifying focus on addressing these issues. The Company recognizes that climate change is a global challenge that may have both favorable and adverse effects on our business in a range of possible ways. Mining and processing operations are energy intensive and result in a carbon footprint either directly or through the purchase of fossil-fuel based electricity. As such, the Company is impacted by current and emerging policy and regulation relating to greenhouse gas emission levels, energy efficiency, and reporting of climate-change related risks. While some of the costs associated with reducing emissions may be offset by increased energy efficiency, technological innovation, or the increased demand for our metals as part of technological innovations, the current regulatory trend may result in additional transition costs at some of our operations. Governments are introducing climate change legislation and treaties at the international, national, and local levels, and regulations relating to emission levels and energy efficiency are evolving and becoming more rigorous. Current laws and regulatory requirements are not consistent across the jurisdictions in which we operate, and regulatory uncertainty is likely to result in additional complexity and costs in our compliance efforts. Public perception of mining is, in some respects, negative and there is increasing pressure to curtail mining in many jurisdictions as a result, in part, of perceived adverse effects of mining on the environment.

 

Concerns around climate change may also affect the market price of our shares as institutional investors and others may divest interests in industries that are thought to have more environmental impacts. While we are committed to operating responsibly and reducing the negative effects of our operations on the environment, our ability to reduce emissions, energy and water usage by increasing efficiency and by adopting new innovation is constrained by technological advancement, operational factors and economics. Adoption of new technologies, the use of renewable energy, and infrastructure and operational changes necessary to reduce water usage may also increase our costs significantly. Concerns over climate change, and our ability to respond to regulatory requirements and societal pressures, may have significant impacts on our operations and on our reputation, and may even result in reduced demand for our products.

The physical risks of climate change could also adversely impact our operations. These risks include, among other things, extreme weather events, resource shortages, changes in rainfall and in storm patterns and intensities, water shortages, changing sea levels and extreme temperatures. Climate-related events such as mudslides, floods, droughts and fires can have significant impacts, directly and indirectly, on our operations and could result in damage to our facilities, disruptions in accessing our sites with labour and essential materials or in shipping products from our mines, risks to the safety and security of our personnel and to communities, shortages of required supplies such as fuel and chemicals, inability to source enough water to supply our operations, and the temporary or permanent cessation of one or more of our operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to anticipate, respond to, or manage the risks associated with physical climate change events and impacts, and this may result in material adverse consequences to our business and to our financial results.

 

(y)We may be subject to regulatory investigations, claims and legal proceeding that could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations

 

Due to the nature of our business, we may be subject to numerous regulatory investigations, claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. The results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty due to the uncertainty inherent in litigation, including the discovery of evidence process, the difficulty of predicting decisions of judges and juries and the possibility that decisions may be reversed on appeal. There can be no assurance that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

No assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of current or future litigation or regulatory proceedings, and the amount of any damages awarded, or penalties assessed in such a proceeding could be substantial. In addition to monetary damages and penalties, the allegations made in connection with the proceedings may have a material adverse effect on our reputation and may impact our ability to conduct operations in the normal course.

 

Litigation and regulatory proceedings also require significant resources to be expended by the Directors, officers and employees of ours and as a result, the diversion of such resources could materially affect our ability to conduct our operations in the normal course of business. Significant fees and expenses may be incurred by us in connection with the investigation and defense of litigation and regulatory proceedings. We may also be obligated to indemnify certain directors, officers, employees, and experts for additional legal and other expenses pursuant to such proceedings, which additional costs may be substantial and could have a negative effect on our future operating results. We may be able to recover certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with such matters from our insurer. However, there can be no assurance regarding when or if the insurer will reimburse us for such costs and expenses.

 

The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties and it is possible that some of these other matters may be resolved in a manner that is unfavourable to the Company which may result in a material adverse impact on the Company's financial performance, cash flow or results of operations. The Company carries liability insurance coverage and establishes provisions for matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated, however there can be no guarantee that the amount of such coverage is sufficient to protect against all potential liabilities. In addition, the Company may in the future be subjected to regulatory investigations or other proceedings and may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in a significant impact on our financial condition, cash flow and results of operations.

With respect to the acquisition of Adventus, there was a litigation brought by a group of plaintiffs against a government agency of Ecuador concerning the environmental consultation process of the Company's El Domo and sought to void the environmental license of the project. The local court in Las Naves Canton, Bolívar Province, Ecuador rejected the litigation and ruled the Ecuadorean government correctly discharged its environmental consultation obligation prior to issuing an environmental license for the project on July 24, 2024. The plaintiffs appealed to the provincial court, and the appeal was heard on October 17, 2024, and was dismissed by the provincial court on November 12, 2024, affirming the lower court decision that the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Ecological Transition of Ecuador ("MAATE") correctly discharged its environmental consultation obligations prior to issuing an environmental license of the El Domo Project. The plaintiff’s subsequently filed an Extraordinary Protection Action (EPA) before the Constitutional Court of Ecuador. On February 26, 2025, the Constitutional Court issued a decision declining to admit the EPA. On March 3, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a motion for clarification. A clarification motion may proceed where disputed issues have not been fully resolved. On July 24, 2025, the Constitutional Court unanimously rejected the clarification motion. While the Company considers the risk of further action to be low, there can be no assurance that the Constitutional Court will not take jurisdiction in the future, or that any subsequent proceedings would not adversely affect the El Domo Project schedule.

 

On August 15, 2025, a constitutional protection action was filed challenging the validity of the environmental license and related mining rights for the El Domo project. Although the case was initially dismissed by a Quito judge for lack of jurisdiction on August 19, 2025, the plaintiffs appealed the decision. Subsequent to the year ended March 31, 2026, on April 29, 2026, the Provincial Court of Pichincha accepted the appeal and remanded the case back to the lower court for a formal hearing. Management believes it is too early to reliably assess the likelihood of the outcome or estimate any potential financial impact.

 

(z)We face risks associated with our acquisition of Adventus and ZAAV, and if we fail to successfully integrate our recently acquired business or any future targets into our own operations, our post-acquisition performance and business prospects may be adversely affected.

 

We completed the acquisition of all of the equity interests in Adventus on July 31, 2024 and completed the acquisition of 100% interest in ZAAV on January 27, 2026. Currently, we are in the process of integrating Adventus and ZAAV into our existing enterprise structure. There can be no assurance that the acquisitions will bring benefits to us to the extent anticipated. We may not be able to successfully fulfill the contemplated purposes of this acquisition. These synergies are inherently uncertain, and are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. If implemented ineffectively or if impacted by unforeseen negative economic or market conditions or other factors, we may not realize the full anticipated benefits of the acquisitions. Our failure to meet the challenges involved in realizing the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our activities and could adversely affect our results of operations. The acquisitions and integration of the businesses may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses and diversion of management’s attention, and we may record impairment charges or write-offs in connection therewith if the anticipated benefits of the acquisition fail to realize.

 

The operations of Adventus and ZAAV are subject to government approvals, licenses and permits. No guarantee can be given that the necessary government exploration and mining permits and licenses will be issued or, if they are issued, that they will be renewed in an appropriate or timely manner.

 

(aa)We face risks associated with certain political and economic instability in Ecuador where the El Domo Project is located.

 

The Company is subject to certain risks and possible political and economic instability specific to Ecuador, arising from change of government, political unrest, labour disputes, invalidation of government orders, permits or property rights, legal proceedings and referendums seeking to suspend mining activities, unsupportive local and regional governments, risk of corruption, military repression, war, civil disturbances, criminal and terrorist acts, hostage taking, changes in laws, expropriation, nationalization, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, agreements, licenses or permits and changes to monetary or taxation policies. The occurrence of any of these risks may adversely affect the mining industry, mineral exploration and mining activities generally or the Company specifically and could result in the impairment or loss of mineral concessions or other mineral rights.

Exploration, development or operations may also be affected to varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on future exploration, development and production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, labour and immigration, and by delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary permits, opposition to mining from environmental and other non-governmental organizations, limitations on foreign ownership, expropriation of property, ownership of assets, environmental legislation, labour relations, limitations on repatriation of income and return of capital, high rates of inflation, increased financing costs and site safety. In addition, the legislative uncertainty regarding the consultation process for environmental licenses may pose a risk for future permitting of exploration activity near protected forests and the need to carry out consultation activities prior to the start of any activities. These factors may affect both the ability of the Company to undertake exploration and development activities in respect of future properties in the manner contemplated, as well as its ability to continue to explore, develop and operate those properties in which it has an interest or in respect of which it has obtained exploration and development rights to date.

  

Ecuador is experiencing a period of instability. In 2023, former President Guillermo Lasso did not complete his term due to the triggering of “muerte cruzada”, a constitutional mechanism whereby the Presidency and the National 20 Assembly was dissolved, and elections were held. A new National Assembly was elected and Daniel Noboa, from the National Democratic Action (ADN) party, was elected to assume the presidency in November 2023 for a period of 18 months, being the balance of Former President Lasso’s term. Noboa won re-election in April 2025, and was inaugurated for a full four-year term on May 24, 2025. Despite this electoral mandate, uncertainty persists regarding his ability to stabilize the country due to challenges including, but not limited to, lack of majority in the National Assembly, the significant national debt, the security situation and the condition of the economy. The instability present in Ecuador, and overall risks associated with foreign operations, may impact the Company’s operations and financial results. In addition, this instability could impact the Company’s ability to obtain financing in the future or to obtain such financing on terms favourable to the Company. This may, in turn, impact the Company’s ability to execute on further acquisitions, developments or exploration if financing is required.

 

Any shifts in political attitudes or changes in laws that may result in, among other things, significant changes to mining laws or any laws, regulations or policies are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. The Company faces the risk that governments or courts may adopt substantially different policies or interpretation of laws, which might extend to the expropriation of assets or increased government participation in the mining sector. In addition, changes in resource development or investment policies, increases in taxation rates or changes to tax regulations, higher mining fees and royalty payments, revocation or cancellation of mining concession rights or shifts in political attitudes in Ecuador may adversely affect the Company’s business.

 

The Company’s relationships with communities near where it operates and other stakeholders are critical to ensure the future success of El Domo and the exploration and development of the Company’s other concessions. The Company’s mineral concessions, including El Domo, are located near groups that have been opposed to mining activities from time to time in the past, which may affect the operations at El Domo, and the Company’s exploration and development activities on its other concessions in the short and long term.

 

The Company prioritizes sourcing goods and services locally, where possible. The Company’s local procurement activities and employment, however, may not meet the expectations of local communities, which may negatively impact on community relations. Furthermore, local communities may be influenced by external entities, groups or organizations opposed to mining activities. In recent years, anti-mining nongovernmental organization (NGO) and Indigenous group activities in Ecuador have increased. These communities, NGOs and Indigenous groups have taken such actions as civil unrest, road closures, work stoppages and legal challenges. Such actions may have a material adverse effect on our development operations at El Domo, on our Condor exploration activities, and on our financial position, cash flow and results of operations. While the Company is committed to operating in a socially responsible manner, there can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts in this respect will mitigate this potential risk.

 

Our mining and exploration interests in Ecuador are also subject to changes in regulations (or the application of regulations) or shifts in political attitudes in Ecuador, which are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect our business. Future development and operations may be affected in varying degrees by factors such as government regulations (or changes to such regulations or the application of regulations) with respect to the restrictions on production, export controls, taxes, expropriation of property, restrictions on repatriation of profits, environmental legislation, land use, water use, labour, operating activities, land claims of local people and mine safety. The impact of these factors cannot be accurately predicted.

Tax regimes in Ecuador may be subject to differing interpretations and are subject to change without notice. Increasingly, the fiscal condition of the country is driving the Government to focus on tax reforms. The Company’s interpretation of tax law as applied to its transactions and activities may differ with that of the tax authorities, including the introduction of new or modified taxes, and may be disputed. As a result, the taxation applicable to transactions and operations may be challenged or revised by the tax authorities, which could result in significant additional taxes, penalties and/or interest and may impact on the Company’s cash flow forecasts, operating costs and AISC.

  

There is a risk that restrictions on the repatriation of earnings from Ecuador to foreign entities will be imposed in the future and Silvercorp has no control over withholding tax rates. In addition, there is a risk that laws and regulations in Ecuador may result in a capital gains tax on profits derived from the sale of shares, ownership interests and other rights, such as exploration rights, of companies with permanent establishments in the country. It is unknown at this time what, if any, liability the Company or its subsidiaries may be subject to as a result of the application of this law. There is a risk that the Company’s access to financing may be affected as a result of indirect taxation.

 

The Company’s operating subsidiary will pay VAT on goods and services required for its projects in Ecuador, and is eligible to receive a credit against future VAT payable. There is a risk that the tax authority in Ecuador may deny the Company’s such VAT claims or unduly delay the processing of VAT refunds, which could have a negative effect on Silvercorp's financial position or cash flow.

 

(bb)Our investment in New Pacific Metals Corp. is subject to a number of risks and may prove unprofitable.

 

The Company is a strategic investor in New Pacific, a Canadian public company listed on the TSX under the symbol “NUAG” and NYSE American under the symbol “NEWP”. As at March 31, 2026, the Company owned 51,426,988 shares of New Pacific, representing a 27.96% ownership interest. New Pacific is a mining company engaged in exploring and developing mineral properties in Bolivia. Investments in junior mining companies involve volatile share prices, liquidity risk, and may result in possible loss of principal. New Pacific has no revenue from operations and no ongoing mining operations of any kind.

 

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business and involves a high degree of risk, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting both from the failure to discover mineral deposits and from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in size and grade, and from the inability to obtain government approval for mining permits, environment licenses and to reach agreement with communities for development. The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by New Pacific will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of New Pacific. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets, and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital or the possible loss of principal.

 

Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, metallurgical, and other testing techniques, determine metal content and metallurgical recovery processes to extract metal from the ore, and construct, renovate, or expand mining and processing facilities. No assurance can be given that any level of recovery of ore reserves will be realized or that any identified mineral deposit, even if it is established to contain an estimated resource, will ever qualify as a commercial mineable ore body, which can be legally and economically exploited.

 

In addition to the high degree of risk associated with investing in junior exploration mining companies, the Company’s investment in New Pacific entails an additional risk by virtue of the fact that its projects are located in Bolivia. There has been a significant level of political and social unrest in Bolivia in recent years resulting from a number of factors, including Bolivia’s history of political and economic instability under a variety of governments and high rate of unemployment. New Pacific’s exploration and development activities may be affected by changes in government, political instability, and the nature of various government regulations relating to the mining industry.

 

Bolivia’s fiscal regime has historically been favourable to the mining industry, but there is a risk that this could change. New Pacific cannot predict the government’s positions on foreign investment, mining concessions, land tenure, environmental regulation, or taxation. A change in government positions on these issues could adversely affect New Pacific’s business and/or its holdings, assets, and operations in Bolivia. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond the control of New Pacific. Moreover, protestors and cooperatives have previously targeted foreign companies in the mining sector, and as a result there is no assurance that future social unrest will not have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations.

Mining companies are increasingly required to operate in a sustainable manner and to provide benefits to affected communities and there are risks associated with New Pacific failing to acquire and subsequently maintain a “social licence” to operate on its mineral properties. “Social licence” does not refer to a specific permit or licence, but rather is a broad term and generic used to describe community acceptance of a company’s plans and activities related to exploration, development or operations on its mineral projects. New Pacific will place a high priority on, and dedicates considerable efforts and resources toward, its community relationships and responsibilities. Despite its best efforts, there are factors that may affect New Pacific’s efforts to establish and maintain social licence at any of its projects, including national or local changes in sentiment toward mining, evolving social concerns, changing economic conditions and challenges, and the influence of third-party opposition toward mining on local support. There can be no guarantee that a social licence can be earned by New Pacific or if established, that a social licence can be maintained in the long term, and without strong community support the ability to secure necessary permits, obtain project financing, and/or move a project into development or operation may be compromised. Delays in projects attributable to a lack of community support or other community related disruptions or delays can translate directly into a decrease in the value of a project or into an inability to bring New Pacific’s projects to, or maintain, production. The costs of measures and other issues relating to the sustainable development of mining operations may result in additional operating costs, higher capital expenditures, reputational damage, active community opposition (possibly resulting in delays, disruptions and stoppages), legal suits, regulatory intervention and investor withdrawal.

  

Labour in Bolivia is customarily unionized and there are risks that labour unrest or wage agreements may impact operations. New Pacific’s operations in Bolivia may also be adversely affected by economic uncertainty characteristic of developing countries. In addition, operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, income taxes, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use, and safety factors. There is no assurance that New Pacific will be successful in obtaining ratification of the mining production contract (“MPC”) it signed with Corporación Minera de Bolivia (COMIBOL) in a timely manner or at all, or that they will be obtained on reasonable terms. New Pacific cannot predict the government’s positions on foreign investment, mining concessions, land tenure, environmental regulation, community relations, or taxation. A change in government positions on these issues could adversely affect the ratification of the MPC and New Pacific’s business.

 

Exploration and development of, and production from, any deposits at New Pacific’s mineral projects require permits from various government authorities. There can be no assurance that any required permits will be obtained in a timely manner or at all, or on reasonable terms. Delays or failure to obtain, expiry of, or a failure to comply with the terms of such permits could prohibit development of New Pacific’s mineral projects and have a material adverse impact on New Pacific.

 

(cc)Our information technology system may be vulnerable to disruption, which could place our systems at risk for data loss, operational failure, or compromise of confidential information

 

We are subject to cybersecurity risks including unauthorized access to privileged information, destroy data or disable, degrade or sabotage our systems, including through the introduction of computer viruses. Although we take steps to secure our configurations and manage our information system, including our computer systems, internet sites, emails and other telecommunications, and financial/geological data, there can be no assurance that measures we take to ensure the integrity of our systems will provide adequate protection, especially because cyberattack techniques used change frequently or are not recognized until successful. We have not experienced any material cybersecurity incident in the past, but there can be no assurance that we would not experience in the future. If our systems are compromised, do not operate properly or are disabled, we could suffer financial loss, disruption of business, loss of geology data which could affect our ability to conduct effective mine planning and accurate mineral resources estimates, loss of financial data which could affect our ability to provide accurate and timely financial reporting.

 

(dd)If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, and used the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) to evaluate, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, the effectiveness of internal controls. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes:

 

·maintaining records, that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

·providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

 

·providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and

·providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

  

No matter how well a system of internal control over financial reporting is designed, any system has inherent limitations. Even systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of the reliability of financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, controls may become inadequate in the future because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures. In addition, as some of the risk management and internal control policies and procedures are relatively new, the Company may need to establish and implement additional policies and procedures to further improve the Company’s systems from time to time. Since the Company’s risk management and internal controls depend on implementation by Company employees, there is a risk that such implementation will involve human errors or mistakes. If the Company fails to implement its policies and procedures in a timely manner or fails to identify risks that affect the Company’s business, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

The failure to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting on a timely basis could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of the financial statements, which in turn could harm the business and negatively impact the trading price of shares or market value of other securities. In addition, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm the operating results or cause us to fail to meet the reporting obligations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to remediate material weaknesses, if any, identified in future periods, or maintain all of the controls necessary for continued compliance, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain sufficient skilled finance and accounting personnel, especially in light of the increased demand for such personnel among publicly traded companies. Future acquisitions of companies may provide the Company with challenges in implementing the required processes, procedures and controls in the acquired operations. Acquired companies may not have disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting that are as thorough or effective as those required by securities laws currently applicable to the Company.

 

(ee)Any failure by us to maintain effective disclosure controls could have an adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations

 

We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and under Canadian securities laws and we are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act and under Canadian Securities Laws is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Any failure or alleged failure by us to maintain effective disclosure controls could have an adverse effect on investor confidence or on our business, financial position and results of operations. Further, our efforts to maintain effective disclosure controls may result in increased general and administrative expenses and may divert management’s time and attention from our business.

 

(ff)We are dependent on management and key personnel

 

Key members of our management team and non-executive directors have extensive experience in the mineral resources industry. Our success depends to a significant extent upon our ability to retain, attract and train key management personnel, in Canada, China, Ecuador and other jurisdictions where the Company conduct business operations.

 

We depend on the services of several key personnel, including the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, and the operational management team. The loss of any one of whom could have an adverse effect on our operations. Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve management systems and to recruit and train new employees. We cannot be assured that we will be successful in attracting and retaining skilled and experienced personnel.

(gg)Our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest as a result of their relationship with other mining companies that are not affiliated with us

 

Conflicts of interest may arise as a result of our directors and officers also holding positions as directors and/or officers of other companies. Some of those persons who are our directors and officers have and will continue to be engaged in the identification and evaluation of assets and business opportunities and companies on their own behalf and on behalf of other companies, and situations may arise where the directors and officers may be in direct competition with us. Conflicts, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

  

(hh)Changes in economic, political or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations

 

As at date of this report, all the Company's material mining operations are in China and Ecuador. Accordingly, our business, results of operations and financial conditions are, to a material extent, subject to economic, political, social conditions and legal and regulatory development in these two countries. The market conditions and levels of consumer spending are influenced by many factors beyond our control, including consumer perception of current and future economic conditions, levels of employment, inflation or deflation, household income, interest rates, taxation and currency exchange rates.

 

It may be difficult for us to predict all the risks and uncertainties that we may face from the current and future economic, political, social, legal and regulatory development in China and Ecuador. Any severe or prolonged negative impacts on the economic, political or social conditions in China and Ecuador may affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and business prospects.

 

(ii)We are subject to laws and regulations in other jurisdictions, breaching of which could have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and business prospects

 

The Company is incorporated in Canada with corporate office in Vancouver, Canada. As at the date of this report, the Company i) is conducting mining and exploration operations in China and Ecuador; ii) holds minority interest in NUAG, which held majority interests in three different mineral properties located in Bolivia; (iii) holds minority interest in Tincorp, which held 100% interests in two tin projects in Bolivia and a gold project in Yukon, Canada; and (iv) controls several exploration projects in Ecuador through the acquisition of Adventus. In addition, we also control a subsidiary incorporated in Mexico and used to hold an exploration permit in Mexico. We are subject to laws and regulations in those jurisdictions. Foreign laws and regulations, particularly, in areas of mining, import and export controls, data protection and privacy may have significant impacts on our operations. Such laws and regulations may require us to obtain licenses, permits and consents from various governmental authorities and Indigenous groups. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including licensing and permitting requirements, may result in civil or criminal fines, penalties or enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities enjoining or curtailing operations, requiring corrective measures, requiring the installation of additional equipment, requiring remedial actions or imposing additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners, any of which could result in significant expenditures or loss of income by us. We may also be required to compensate private parties suffering loss or damage by reason of a breach of such laws, regulations, licensing requirements or permitting requirements.

 

Our income and mining, exploration and development projects, could be adversely affected by amendments to such laws and regulations, by future laws and regulations, by more stringent enforcement of current laws and regulations, by changes in the policies of China, Canada, the United States, Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico and other applicable jurisdictions affecting investment, mining and repatriation of financial assets, by shifts in political attitudes in those jurisdictions and by exchange controls and currency fluctuations. The effect, if any, of these factors cannot be accurately predicted. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations in those jurisdictions.

Compliance with foreign laws and regulations may be onerous and costly. Such laws and regulations are evolving, and they may not be consistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, which may further increase our compliance costs. We have implemented appropriate internal control policies and measures to ensure our operations in foreign jurisdictions are in full compliance. However, we cannot guarantee that our efforts in complying with such laws and regulations are sufficient and effective and are updated in a timely manner. In addition, we may further expand our operations into other foreign jurisdictions, which will expose us to further legal risks and incur additional compliance costs to us. If we are found to be in breach of laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions, we may be subject to penalties, fines and sanctions by relevant regulatory authorities, which in turn may have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and business prospects. As at date of this report, all the Company's material mining operations are in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations and financial conditions are, to a material extent, subject to economic, political, social conditions and legal and regulatory development in China. The market conditions and levels of consumer spending in China are influenced by many factors beyond our control, including consumer perception of current and future economic conditions, levels of employment, inflation or deflation, household income, interest rates, taxation and currency exchange rates.

  

It may be difficult for us to predict all the risks and uncertainties that we may face from the current and future economic, political, social, legal and regulatory development in China, Canada, the United States, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Mexico. Any severe or prolonged negative impacts on the economic, political or social conditions in these countries may affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and business prospects.

 

(jj)The M&A Rules and certain other regulations establish complex procedures for certain acquisition of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth opportunities through acquisition in China

 

On August 8, 2006, six Chinese regulatory authorities, including the Ministry of Commerce ("MOFCOM") and other government authorities jointly issued the Rules on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprise by Foreign Investors which was effective on September 8, 2006 and amended on June 22, 2009 (the “M&A Rules”). The M&A Rules and other regulations and rules concerning mergers and acquisitions established procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors time consuming and complex. For example, the M&A Rules requires MOFCOM be notified in advance of any change-of control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a Chinese domestic enterprise, if (i) any important industry is concerned; (ii) such transaction involves factors that have or may have impact on the national economic security; or (iii) such transaction will lead to a change in control of a domestic enterprise which bolds a famous trademark or China time-honored brand. Moreover, the Anti-Monopoly Law of China promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress ("SCNPC") which became effective in 2008 and recently amended in 2022 requires that transactions which are deemed concentrations and involve parties with specified share of the market must be cleared by the State Administration for Market Supervision ("SAMR") before they can be completed. In addition, the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on the Implementation of Security Review System for Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, effective in March 2011, and Measures for the Security Review of Foreign Investment, effective in January 2021, require acquisitions by foreign investors of Chinese companies engaged in certain industries that are crucial to national security be subject to security review before the consummation of such acquisition.

 

In the future, we may grow our business by acquiring complementary businesses. Complying with the requirements of the above-mentioned regulations and other relevant rules to complete such transactions could be time consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the MOFCOM or its local counterparts, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions. The MOFCOM or other government agencies may publish explanations in the future determining that our business is in an industry subject to the security review, in which case our future acquisitions in China, including those by way of entering contractual control arrangements with target entities, may be closely scrutinized or prohibited. Our ability to expand our business or maintain or expand our market share through future acquisitions would as such be materially and adversely affected.

 

(kk)The permit, filing or other requirements of relevant government authorities in relation to our future equity or convertible financings or share listing application to exchanges other than TSX and NYSE American may be required under the laws of China

 

On July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities, which emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal listing, and the supervision over overseas listing by domestic companies. Stringent measures aimed at establishing a robust regulatory system are expected to be taken to deal with the risks associated with overseas listed companies based in or having significant operations in China, and to tackle any related cybersecurity and data security, cross-border data transmission, and confidential information management, among other matters.

Further, on February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission ("CSRC") released the Trial Administrative Measures of the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies and five ancillary interpretive guidelines (collectively, the “Overseas Listing Trial Measures”), which apply to overseas offerings and listing by domestic companies of equity shares, depository receipts, corporate bonds convertible to equity shares, and other equity securities, and came into effect on March 31, 2023. According to the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, overseas offering and listing by domestic companies shall be made in strict compliance with relevant laws, administrative regulations and rules concerning national security in spheres of foreign investment, cybersecurity and data security and duly fulfill their obligations to protect national security, and the domestic companies may be required to rectify, make certain commitment, divest business or assets, or take any other measures as per the competent authorities’ requirements, so as to eliminate or avert any impact of national security resulting from such overseas offering and listing. No overseas offering and listing shall be made under any of the following circumstances: (i) such securities offering and listing is explicitly prohibited by provisions in laws, administrative regulations and relevant state rules; (ii) the intended securities offering and listing may endanger national security as reviewed and determined by competent authorities under the State Council in accordance with law, among other scenarios. The Overseas Listing Trial Measures provide that if an issuer meets both of the following conditions, the overseas securities offering and listing conducted by such issuer will be determined as an indirect overseas offering and listing subject to the filing procedure set forth under the Overseas Listing Trial Measures: (i) 50% or more of the issuer’s operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements over the same period for the most recent accounting year is accounted for by domestic companies; and (ii) the main parts of the issuer’s business activities are conducted in China, or its main places of business are located in China, or the senior managers in charge of its business operation and management are mostly Chinese citizens or domiciled in China. For an initial public offering and listing in an overseas market, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity to file with the CSRC within three working days after the relevant application is submitted overseas.

  

Pursuant to these regulations, our future capital raising activities such as follow-on equity or debt offerings, listing on other stock exchanges, and ongoing private transactions, may be subject to the filing requirement with the CSRC. Failure to complete such filing procedures as required under the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, or a rescission of any such filings completed by us, would subject us to sanctions by the CSRC or other Chinese regulatory authorities, which could include fines and penalties on our operations in China, and other forms of sanctions that may materially and adversely affect our business, financial conditions, and results of operations.

 

(ll)The Chinese government's policy on foreign currency conversion may adversely affect our business, the results of operations, and our ability to receive dividends out of China

 

Conversion and remittance of foreign currencies are subject to the foreign exchange regulations in China. It cannot be guaranteed that under a certain exchange rate, we shall have sufficient foreign exchange to meet our foreign exchange needs. Under the current foreign exchange control system in China, foreign exchange transactions under the current account conducted by us, including the payment of dividends, do not require advance approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE"), but we are required to present relevant documentary evidence of such transactions and conduct such transactions at designated foreign exchange banks within China that have the licenses to carry out foreign exchange business. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account, however, normally need to be approved by or registered with the SAFE or its local branch or its designated banks unless otherwise permitted by law. Any restriction on or insufficiency of foreign exchange may restrict our ability to obtain sufficient foreign exchange for dividend payments to shareholders or satisfy any other foreign exchange obligation. If we fail to convert RMB into any foreign exchange for any of the above purposes, any offshore capital expenditure we may have in the future and even our business may be materially and adversely affected.

 

(mm)Development in the labour market, increase in labor costs or any possible labour unrest may adversely affect our business and results of operations

 

Competition for skilled labor is intense in the industry, and the labor market is always developing. The development of the labor market may consequently incur an increase in labor costs. Such development of market and possible increases in labor costs could result in a material may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

No assurance can be given that there is no potential for unrest amongst employees, local communities and/or labor unions. Such unrest could result in a material work slowdown, stoppage or strike and/or negative publicity in respect of us, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations

(nn)The enforcement of the labour contract laws, social insurance law, and other labour related regulations in China and Ecuador and any failure of our contribution to social insurance and housing provident fund may materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations

  

Pursuant to the Labor Contract Law of China and Ecuador, employers are subject to strict requirements in terms of signing labor contracts, minimum wages, paying remuneration, overtime working hours limitations, determining the term of employees’ probation and unilaterally terminating labor contracts. In the event that we decide to terminate the employment of some of our employees or otherwise change our employment or labor practices, the Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules may limit our ability to effect those changes in a desirable or cost-effective manner, which could affect our business and results of operations.

 

(oo)The reduced corporate income tax rate currently enjoyed by our Chinese subsidiaries may be changed or discontinued, which may increase our income tax expenses and materially reduce our net income

 

The standard income tax rate of our subsidiaries in China is 25%. In order to encourage enterprises to invest more funds into research and development, the Chinese government introduced a program to give high and new technology enterprises (“HNTEs”) a tax break to 15% based on a series of criteria on a three year term base that is renewable. For mining companies, investments such as innovation on exploration drilling, advanced mining methods and technology, recovery rate improvement, etc., are classified as research and development investments. Our subsidiaries in China, Henan Found (Ying Mining District) and Guangdong Found (GC Mine), have been classified as HNTEs now in their second third-year terms to enjoy a 15% income tax rate. Failure to renew as a HNTE based on applicable criteria may result in Henan Found and Guangdong Found returning to the standard 25% income tax rate.

 

(pp)Crude oil supply risk related to regional conflict (Iran War)

 

The company’s domestic refining operations are exposed to fluctuations in the supply and price of crude oil, particularly as they relate to the production of diesel fuel. An armed conflict involving Iran could disrupt global oil supplies, given Iran’s position as a major crude oil producer and its control over strategic shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz. Such disruptions could lead to sharp increases in international crude oil prices and create volatility in domestic refined product markets. Although the Company sources crude oil primarily through domestic channels, global price shocks and supply chain reallocations may still result in increased feedstock costs, reduced refining margins, or supply shortages of diesel. The Company does not control geopolitical events in the Middle East, and the duration, severity, or outcome of any such conflict cannot be accurately predicted. If crude oil prices rise significantly or diesel supply becomes constrained as a result of the Iran war, the Company’s operating costs, diesel production levels, and overall financial performance could be materially and adversely affected. Conversely, sudden price declines or oversupply conditions resulting from shifts in trade flows may also disrupt the Company’s inventory valuation. Any sustained impact on diesel markets could impair the Company’s ability to meet its sales commitments, maintain profitability, or continue normal operations in its refining segment.

 

(qq)As a result of the Kyrgyzstan government having submitted an outdated and erroneous map to UNESCO, part of the ZAAV Project is included in the protected area of the Western Tien Shan UNESCO Natural Heritage Site.

 

Part of the ZAAV Project is included in the protected area of the Western Tien Shan UNESCO Natural Heritage Site. This overlap is as a result of the Kyrgyzstan government having submitted an outdated and erroneous map to UNESCO for inscribing the Western Tien-Shan Site in 2016. Having recognized this mistake, Kyrgyzstan, together with Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan submitted a joint boundary adjustment application to UNESCO in December 2023. UNESCO has since then requested the three countries to revise the adjustment proposal in line with certain technical requirements and resubmit for review.

 

Despite the UNESCO Natural Heritage Site overlap issue, (i) the License Area does not overlap with any of Kyrgyzstan’s natural reserve sites; (ii) the License Area’s land category permits mining and exploration activities; and (iii) any UNESCO directives are binding only on sovereign states but not private entities. Accordingly, the Company is permitted under Kyrgyz law to conduct mining and exploration activities within the License Area.

 

In case of a failure to resolve the UNESCO Issue, there are no statutory penalties, fines, or risks of license revocation imposed on the ZAAV Project under Kyrgyz law. The Company has contractual safeguards against potential delays caused by the UNESCO Issue: (1) the resolution of this issue is a condition precedent for a USD 10,000,000 payment to the NIA, and (2) any project delays caused by the UNESCO Issue expressly exempt the Company from penalties (license term reductions) related to its USD 150,000,000 investment commitment under mining license numbered 3117AE.

As instructed by the Center for Court Representation under the Ministry of Justice, an international environmental consultancy firm has already been engaged by Silvercorp as of February 2026 to conduct the required environmental impact assessment for submission to UNESCO. The National Commission of the Kyrgyz Republic for UNESCO has initiated the process of clarifying and updating the boundary maps of the Besh-Aral Reserve with the relevant ministries. Further, under the 2026 Co-operation Agreement, the Cabinet of Ministers is legally bound to coordinate with Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to remove the Shandalash Area from the West Tien-Shan Site.

  

However, in case of a failure to resolve the UNESCO Natural Heritage Site overlap issue, it may have an adverse effect on our reputation and business condition, and results of operations.

 

13.Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

14.Transactions with Related Parties

 

Related party transactions are made on terms agreed upon by the related parties. The balances with related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand. Related party transactions not disclosed elsewhere in the audited consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 

As at  March 31, 2026   March 31, 2025 
NUAG (i)  $166   $33 
TIN (ii)   1,388    1,125 
   $1,554   $1,158 

 

i.The Company recovers costs for services rendered to NUAG and expenses incurred on behalf of NUAG pursuant to a services and administrative costs reallocation agreement. During the year ended March 31, 2026, a total of $0.7 million (year ended March 31, 2025 - $0.9 million) of services rendered to and expenses incurred on behalf of NUAG. The costs recoverable from NUAG were recorded as a direct reduction of general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income.

 

ii.The Company recovers costs for services rendered to TIN and expenses incurred on behalf of TIN pursuant to a services and administrative costs reallocation agreement. During the year ended March 31, 2026, a total of $0.1 million (year ended March 31, 2025 - $0.15 million) of services rendered to and expenses incurred on behalf of TIN. The costs recoverable from TIN were recorded as a direct reduction of general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of (loss) income.

15.Alternative Performance (Non-GAAP) Measures

  

The Company uses the following alternative performance measures to manage and evaluate operating performance of the Company’s mines and are widely reported in the silver mining industry as benchmarks for performance but are alternative performance (non-GAAP) measures that do not have standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. To facilitate a better understanding of these measures, the tables in this section provide the reconciliation of these measures to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

 

(a)Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per Share

 

Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP measures and supplement information to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that, in addition to the conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, the Company and certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s underlying core operating performance. The presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share is not meant to be a substitute of net income and net income per share presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with such IFRS Accounting Standards measure.

 

The Company defines the adjusted earnings as net income adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items, and items that in the Company’s judgment are subject to volatility as a result of factors which are unrelated to the Company’s operation in the period, and/or relate to items that will settle in future period, including impairment adjustments and reversal, foreign exchange gain or loss, dilution gain or loss, share-based compensation, share of gain or loss of associates, gain or loss on fair valuation of derivative liabilities, gain or loss on investments, and expenses are unrelated to the normal operations of the Company and are not expected to continue. Certain items that become applicable in a period may be adjusted for, with the Company retroactively presenting comparable periods with an adjustment for such items and, conversely, items no longer applicable may be removed from the calculation. The following table provides a detailed reconciliation of net income as reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share.

Management believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors and the Company in evaluating operating performance because they exclude the impact of financing decisions, tax structures, and non-cash accounting charges, thereby providing greater comparability of the Company’s core operational results across reporting periods and against industry peers.

  

(c)Free Cash Flow

 

Free cash flow is an alternative performance (non-GAAP) measure calculated as cash flow from operating activities less cash payment on capital expenditures. Free cash flow does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's capacity to generate sustainable value and meet financial obligations.

 

   Three Months Ended March 31,   Years Ended March 31, 
   2026   2025   2026   2025 
Cash flow from operating activities  $90,164   $30,701   $310,568   $138,631 
Capital expenditures   (32,301)   (16,527)   (129,253)   (79,803)
Free cash flow  $57,863   $14,174   $181,315   $58,828 

 

(d)Working Capital

 

Working capital is an alternative performance (non-GAAP) measure calculated as current assets less current liabilities. Working capital does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company and certain investors use this information to evaluate whether the Company is able to meet its current obligations using its current assets.

 

(e)Silver Equivalent

 

Silver equivalent is an alternative performance (non-GAAP) measure calculated by converting the gold metals quantity to its silver equivalent using the ratio between the realized selling prices of gold and silver and adding the converted amount expressed in silver ounces to the ounces of silver.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company’s production in silver equivalent:

(f)Costs per Ounce of Silver

 

Cash cost and AISC per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, are non-GAAP measures. The Company produces by-product metals incidentally to its silver mining activities. The Company has adopted the practice of calculating a performance measure with the net cost of producing an ounce of silver, its primary payable metal, after deducting revenues gained from incidental by-product production. This performance measure has been commonly used in the mining industry for many years and was developed as a relatively simple way of comparing the net production cost of the primary metal for a specific period against the prevailing market price of such metal.

 

Cash cost is calculated by deducting revenue from the sales of all metals other than silver from the production cost reported on statements of income and is calculated per ounce of silver sold.

 

AISC is an extension of the “cash cost” metric and provides a comprehensive measure of the Company’s operating performance and ability to generate cash flows. AISC has been calculated based on World Gold Council (“WGC”) guidance released in 2013 and updated in 2018. The WGC is not a regulatory organization and does not have the authority to develop accounting standards for disclosure requirements.

 

AISC is based on the Company’s cash cost, net of by-product sales, and further includes general and administrative expense, mineral resources tax, government fees and other taxes, reclamation cost accretion, lease liability payments, and sustaining capital expenditures that already paid. Sustaining capital expenditures are the costs incurred to sustain and maintain existing assets at current productive capacity and constant planned levels of production output. Excluded are growth capital expenditures, which result in a material increase in the life of assets, materially increase resources or reserves, productive capacity, or future earning potential, or significant improvement in recovery or grade, or which do not relate to the current production activities. The Company believes that this measure represents the total sustainable cost of producing silver from current operations and provides additional information about the Company’s operational performance and ability to generate cash flows.

(g)Cost per Tonne of Ore Processed

 

The Company uses cost per tonne of ore processed to manage and evaluate operating performance at each of its mines. Cash cost per tonne of ore processed is calculated based on total production cost on a sales basis, adjusted for changes in inventory, to arrive at total production cost that relate to ore production during the period. These total production costs are then further divided into mining cost, shipping cost, and milling cost. Mining cost includes cost of material and supplies, labour cost, applicable mine overhead cost, and mining contractor cost for mining ore; shipping cost includes freight charges for shipping stockpile ore from mine sites and mill sites, and milling cost includes cost of materials and supplies, labour cost, and applicable mill overhead cost related to ore processing. Mining cost per tonne is the mining cost divided by the tonnage of ore mined, shipping cost per tonne is the shipping cost divided by the tonnage of ore shipped from mine sites to mill sites; and milling cost per tonne is the milling costs divided by the tonnage of ore processed at the mill. Cash cost per tonne of ore processed are the total of per tonne mining cost, per tonne shipping cost, and per tonne milling cost.

AISC per tonne is the extension of the cash cost per tonne and provides a comprehensive measure of the Company’s operating performance and ability to generate cash flows. AISC per tonne are based on the Company’s cash cost, and further include general and administrative expenses, government fees and other taxes, reclamation costs accretion, lease liability payments, and sustaining capital expenditures that already paid. Mineral resources tax, which mainly levy based on revenue, is not included in the calculation of all-in sustaining production costs. The Company believes that this measure represents the total sustainable cost of processing ore from current operations and provides additional information about the Company’s operational performance and ability to generate cash flows.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash cost and all-in sustaining production cost per tonne of ore processed:

16.Accounting Policies, Judgement and Estimates

 

(a) Material Accounting Policies

 

The Company has applied the below various amendments to IFRS® Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB that were effective for the accounting period beginning on or after April 1, 2025.

 

Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21)

 

The amendments clarify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. In addition, the amendments require the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to understand the impact of a currency not being exchangeable.

 

The amendments were applied effective April 1, 2025 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

(b) Critical Judgement and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses on the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each period end. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, events, or actions, actual results may differ from these estimates. Revision to accounting estimates is recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

 

For further information on our significant judgement and accounting estimates, refer to Note 2 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026. There have been no subsequent material changes to these significant accounting judgments and estimates.

 

(c) Future Changes in Accounting Policies Not Yet Effective

 

At the date of the authorization of these financial statements, the Company has not applied the following new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not effective. Management does not expect that the adoption of the Standards listed below will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company in future periods, except if indicated.

 

Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1)

 

In April 2024, the IASB released IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS  18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements to: i) present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of earnings, ii) provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures ("MPMs") in the notes to the financial statements, iii) improve aggregation and disaggregation. Some of the requirements in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB also made minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share in connection with the new standard. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions.

 

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 18 on its financial statements.

 

Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)

 

The amendments contain guidance to derecognition of a financial liability settled through electronic transfer, as well as classification of financial assets for:

 

·Contractual terms that are consistent with a basic lending arrangement;

 

·Assets with non-recourse features;

 

·Contractually linked instruments.

 

Also, additional disclosures relating to investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments.

20.Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures (a) under Canadian law, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information is gathered and reported to senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow for timely decision about public disclosure, and (b) under U.S. law, are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “U.S. Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the U.S. Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management of the Company, including the CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of the CEO and CFO, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with requirements of National Instrument 52-109 of the Canadian Securities Commission (“NI 52-109”) and U.S. Exchange Act.

SILVERCORP METALS INC.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the year ended March 31, 2026

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data and unit cost data or otherwise stated)

 

As of March 31, 2026, based on the evaluation, management concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in annual filings, interim filings, and other reports the Company filed or submitted under United States and Canadian securities legislation were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules.

 

21.Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control, including internal controls over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") is a process designed by and/or under the supervision of the CEO and CFO and effected by the Board, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by IASB. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

·pertain to maintaining records, that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

·provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

 

·provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and

 

·provide reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, believes that due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. In addition, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

The Company’s management evaluates the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based upon the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission.

 

Based on the evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026 was effective and provides a reasonable assurance of the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and preparation of the financial statements.

 

Limitation on Scope

 

Management excluded from its assessment the internal controls policies and procedures of ZAAV, which the Company acquired on January 27, 2026. ZAAV's total assets, net assets, total revenues and net income on a combined basis constitute approximately 8%, 10%, 0% and 0%, respectively, of the Consolidated Annual Financial Statement amounts as of for the year ended March 31, 2026. This limitation of scope is in accordance with section 3.3(1)(b) of NI 52-109, which allows for an issuer to limit the design of DC&P or ICFR to exclude a business that the issuer acquired not more than 365 days before the end of the financial period to which the CEO’s and CFO’s certification of annual filings relates.

 

22.Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Other than ZAAV Acquisition, there has been no significant change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
