PRINCIPAL DOCUMENTS

The following documents, filed as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F of Silvercorp Metals Inc. (“Silvercorp” or the “Company”), are hereby incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 40-F:

(a)

Revised Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026;

(b)

Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026; and

(c)

Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and notes thereto, together with the reports of independent registered public accounting firm thereon. Silvercorp's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 40-F have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Therefore, they are not comparable in all respects to financial statements of United States companies that are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

CERTIFICATIONS AND DISCLOSURE REGARDING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)

Certifications. See Exhibits 99.4, 99.5, 99.6 and 99.7 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F.

(b)

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of that fiscal year, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that while the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

(c)

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The required disclosure is included in under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F.

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte LLP (Vancouver, British Columbia, PCAOB ID No. 1208), which audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 40-F, has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, entitled “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm,” that accompanies the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F.

(e)

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

​

Exhibit 97

SILVERCORP METALS INC.

INCENTIVE COMPENSATION RECOVERY POLICY

1.

Introduction.

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Silvercorp Metals Inc. (the “Company”) believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to create and maintain a culture that emphasizes integrity and accountability and that reinforces the Company’s compensation philosophy. The Board has therefore adopted this policy, which provides for the recovery of erroneously awarded Incentive Compensation (as defined below) in the event that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement (as defined below) due to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirements under applicable Canadian or United States federal securities laws (this “Policy”). This Policy is designed to comply with Section 10D of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and listing standards of NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) or any other securities exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed in the future.

2.

Administration.

This Policy shall be administered by the Board or, if so designated by the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Company (the “Committee”), in which case, all references herein to the Board shall be deemed references to the Committee. Any determinations made by the Board shall be final and binding on all affected individuals.

3.

Covered Executives.

Unless and until the Board determines otherwise, for purposes of this Policy, the term “Covered Executive” means a current or former employee who is or was identified by the Company as the Company’s president, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer (or if there is no such accounting officer, the controller), any vice-president of the Company in charge of a principal business unit, division, or function (such as sales, administration, or finance), any other officer who performs a policy-making function, or any other person (including any executive officer of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates) who performs similar policy-making functions for the Company. “Policy-making function” excludes policy-making functions that are not significant. “Covered Executives” will include, at minimum, the executive officers identified by the Company pursuant to Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act, if applicable.

This Policy covers Incentive Compensation received by a person after beginning service as a Covered Executive and who served as a Covered Executive at any time during the performance period for that Incentive Compensation.

​

​

1


4.

Recovery: Accounting Restatement.

In the event of an Accounting Restatement, the Company will recover reasonably promptly any excess Incentive Compensation received by any Covered Executive during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, including transition periods resulting from a change in the Company’s fiscal year as provided in Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act. Incentive Compensation is deemed “received” in the Company’s fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure (as defined below) specified in the Incentive Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of the Incentive Compensation occurs after the end of that period.

(a)

Definition of Accounting Restatement.

For the purposes of this Policy, an “Accounting Restatement” means the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under applicable Canadian or United States federal securities laws (including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period).

The determination of the time when the Company is “required” to prepare an Accounting Restatement shall be made in accordance with applicable Canadian or United States federal securities laws and national securities exchange rules and regulations.

An Accounting Restatement does not include situations in which financial statement changes did not result from material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements, such as, but not limited to retrospective: (i) application of a change in accounting principles; (ii) revision to reportable segment information due to a change in the structure of the Company’s internal organization; (iii) reclassification due to a discontinued operation; (iv) application of a change in reporting entity, such as from a reorganization of entities under common control; (v) adjustment to provision amounts in connection with a prior business combination; and (vi) revision for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits or other changes in capital structure.

(b)

Definition of Incentive Compensation.

For purposes of this Policy, “Incentive Compensation” means any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure, including, for example, bonuses or awards under the Company’s short and long-term incentive plans, grants and awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans, and contributions of such bonuses or awards to the Company’s deferred compensation plans or other employee benefit plans.

​

2


Incentive Compensation does not include awards which are granted, earned and vested without regard to attainment of Financial Reporting Measures, such as time- vesting awards, discretionary awards and awards based wholly on subjective standards, strategic measures or operational measures.

(c)

Financial Reporting Measures.

“Financial Reporting Measures” are those that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements (including non-IFRS financial measures) and any measures derived wholly or in part from such financial measures. For the avoidance of doubt, Financial Reporting Measures include stock price and total shareholder return. A measure need not be presented within the financial statements or included in a filing with applicable securities regulatory authorities to constitute a Financial Reporting Measure for purposes of this Policy.

(d)

Excess Incentive Compensation: Amount Subject to Recovery.

The amount(s) to be recovered from the Covered Executive will be the amount(s) by which the Covered Executive’s Incentive Compensation for the relevant period(s) exceeded the amount(s) that the Covered Executive otherwise would have received had such Incentive Compensation been determined based on the restated amounts contained in the Accounting Restatement. All amounts shall be computed without regard to taxes paid.

For Incentive Compensation based on Financial Reporting Measures such as stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of excess compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in an Accounting Restatement, the Board will calculate the amount to be reimbursed based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on such Financial Reporting Measure upon which the Incentive Compensation was received. The Company will maintain documentation of that reasonable estimate and will provide such documentation to the applicable national securities exchange or other regulator, upon request.

(e)

Method of Recovery.

The Board will determine, in its sole discretion, the method(s) for recovering reasonably promptly excess Incentive Compensation hereunder. Such methods may include, without limitation:

​

​

3


(i)

requiring reimbursement of compensation previously paid;

(ii)

forfeiting any compensation contribution made under the Company’s deferred compensation plans, as well as any matching amounts and earnings thereon;

(iii)

offsetting the recovered amount from any compensation that the Covered Executive may earn or be awarded in the future (including, for the avoidance of doubt, recovering amounts earned or awarded in the future to such individual equal to compensation paid or deferred into tax–qualified plans or plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (collectively, “Exempt Plans”); provided that, no such recovery will be made from amounts held in any Exempt Plan of the Company);

(iv)

taking any other remedial and recovery action permitted by law, as determined by the Board; or

(v)

some combination of the foregoing.

5.

No Indemnification or Advance.

Subject to applicable law, the Company shall not indemnify, including by paying or reimbursing for premiums for any insurance policy covering any potential losses, any Covered Executives against the loss of any erroneously awarded Incentive Compensation, nor shall the Company advance any costs or expenses to any Covered Executives in connection with any action to recover excess Incentive Compensation.

6.

Interpretation.

The Board is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate or advisable for the administration of this Policy. It is intended that this Policy be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules or standards adopted by applicable securities regulatory authorities or any securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed.

7.

Effective Date.

The Board adopted this Policy on November 1, 2023.  This Policy applies to Incentive Compensation received by Covered Executives on or after November 1, 2023 (the “Effective Date”) that results from attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure based on or derived from financial information for any fiscal period ending on or after the Effective Date. In addition, this Policy is intended to be and will be incorporated as an essential term and condition of any Incentive Compensation agreement, plan or program that the Company establishes or maintains on or after the Effective Date.

​

​

4


8.

Amendment and Termination.

The Board may amend this Policy from time to time in its discretion, and shall amend this Policy as it deems necessary to reflect changes in regulations adopted by applicable regulatory authorities, including under Section 10D of the Exchange Act and to comply with any rules or listing standards adopted by the NYSE American or the TSX or any other securities exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed in the future.

9.

Other Recovery Rights.

The Board intends that this Policy will be applied to the fullest extent of the law. The Board may require that any employment agreement or similar agreement relating to Incentive Compensation received on or after the Effective Date shall, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, require a Covered Executive to agree to abide by the terms of this Policy. Any right of recovery under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any (i) other remedies or rights of compensation recovery that may be available to the Company pursuant to the terms of any similar policy in any employment agreement, or similar agreement relating to Incentive Compensation, unless any such agreement expressly prohibits such right of recovery, and (ii) any other legal remedies available to the Company. The provisions of this Policy are in addition to (and not in lieu of) any rights to repayment the Company may have under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other applicable laws.

10.

Impracticability.

The Company shall recover any excess Incentive Compensation in accordance with this Policy, except to the extent that certain conditions are met and the Board has determined that such recovery would be impracticable, all in accordance with applicable Canadian and United States federal securities laws, including Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and listing standards of the NYSE American and the TSX or any other securities exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed in the future.

11.

Successors.

This Policy shall be binding upon and enforceable against all Covered Executives and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives.

This policy was reviewed by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and last approved by the board of directors on August 6, 2025.

1.5Non-GAAP Measures

This AIF refers to alternative performance (non-GAAP) measures, such as cash cost per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per ounce of silver, cash cost per tonne, and all-in sustaining cost per tonne. These measures do not have standardized meaning under IFRS® Accounting Standards and therefore are unlikely comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Readers should refer to the section entitled “Alternative Performance (Non-GAAP) Measures” in our management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended March 31, 2026, for a detailed description and reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures.

Per Ounce Measures – Cash Costs and AISC

Cash costs 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 performance measures with the net costs 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 costs of the primary metal for a specific period against the prevailing market price of such metal.

Cash costs is calculated by deducting revenue from the sales of all metals other than silver and is calculated per ounce of silver sold.

AISC is an extension of the “cash costs” 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.

7


​

AISC is based on the Company’s cash costs, net of by-product sales, and further includes general and administrative expenses, mineral resources tax, government fees and other taxes, reclamation cost accretion, lease liability payments, and sustaining capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures are those costs incurred to sustain and maintain existing assets at current productive capacity and constant planned levels of production output. Excluded are non-sustaining 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 costs of producing silver from current operations and provides additional information about the Company’s operational performance and ability to generate cash flows.

Per Tonne Measures – Cash Cost and AISC

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 costs that relate to ore production during the period. This total production cost is 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 are the mining costs divided by the tonnage of ore mined, shipping cost per tonne is the shipping costs 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 costs, per tonne shipping costs, and per tonne milling costs.

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

With respect to remitting funds outside of China to Silvercorp or its shareholders from these entities, it is prescribed in the Foreign Investment Law of China that foreign investors may, in accordance with laws, freely remit into or out of China, in Renminbi or any other foreign currency, their capital contributions, profits, capital gains, income from asset disposal, intellectual property royalties, lawfully acquired compensation, indemnity or liquidation income in China.

On July 31, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding common shares of Adventus Mining Corporation (“Adventus”) that it did not already own by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Arrangement”). Following the completion of the Arrangement, Adventus shares were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange, and Adventus ceased to be a reporting issuer. The Company now holds a 75% interest in the Curipamba copper-gold project, containing the El Domo deposit in Ecuador (the “El Domo Project”), together with a right to priority repayment of its investment in the project, and a 100% interest in the Condor gold project in Ecuador (the “Condor Project”), along with other exploration projects in Ecuador. The El Domo Project is a development-stage project located in central Ecuador on which a feasibility study was completed in 2021 and the Condor Project is the subject of a preliminary economic assessment that was completed by a previous operator.

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. 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 an expiry of 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.

On September 4, 2025, the Company announced the filing of a base shelf prospectus (the “Base Shelf Prospectus”) with the securities commissions in all of the provinces and territories of Canada and a corresponding registration statement in Form F-10 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, qualifying the Company to offer up to US$400 million of securities over a 25-month period that the Base Shelf Prospectus remains effective.

On September 10, 2025, the Company published its Fiscal 2025 Sustainability Report, detailing the Company’s environmental, social, and governance commitments, performance, and targets. During Fiscal 2025, the Company invested $1.3 million in local community initiatives, delivered more than 68,000 hours of employee training, reduced its Lost Time Incident Rate by 44% to 0.52, and achieved a 17% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from its 2020 baseline. The Company also reported zero significant environmental incidents and introduced new policies related to biodiversity, tailings management, procurement, and board diversity. This report was prepared with reference to several international sustainability reporting frameworks, including GRI, TCFD, SASB, and ICMM standards.

On September 17, 2025, the Company announced the renewal of its normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) program, effective September 19, 2025, allowing the repurchase of up to 8,747,245 common shares, representing approximately 4% of its issued and outstanding shares as of September 5, 2025. The repurchase program will remain in effect until September 18, 2026. The NCIB is intended to provide flexibility if market conditions result in its shares being undervalued relative to its mining and corporate assets. Repurchases may be made through the TSX, NYSE American, and alternative trading systems in Canada and the United States at prevailing market prices, subject to regulatory requirements. Under the previous NCIB program, the Company repurchased and cancelled 300,000 common shares at a weighted average price of CAD$4.51 per share.

​

On September 26, 2025, the Company reported its 2025 annual general meeting (“AGM”) results. All matters submitted for shareholder approval at its 2025 AGM held on September 26, 2025, were approved by the requisite majority of votes cast.

​

In connection with the Chaarat Share Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a cooperation agreement and a share purchase and shareholders’ agreement (the “Cooperation Agreements”) with the National Investment Agency under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic (the “NIA”). Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreements, it was agreed that (a) the Company shall transfer 30% interest in ZAAV to an entity designated by the Kyrgyz Republic for nil consideration; (b) a US$70 million payment to be made to the NIA shall be paid in two stages: (i) US$60 million upon the Kyrgyz Government issuing a waiver of its statutory pre-emptive right on the Projects and an extension of the validity period of ZAAV’s mining licence from 2032 to 2062; and (ii) US$10 million after the achievement of certain milestones. Subsequent to Fiscal 2026, the Company paid US$60 million to the NIA pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement on April 29, 2026, following the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic extending the mining license validity period to July 25, 2062. The Company also completed a restructuring under which the 30% free-carried interest in ZAAV was transferred to Kyrgyzaltyn, a wholly-owned entity of the Kyrgyz Republic.

The Projects are planned to be developed in two phases. Phase 1 contemplated a US$150 million commitment to develop the Tulkubash open-pit heap leach operation, expected to produce approximately 110,000 oz of gold annually for 3-4 years, once in production in 2027-2028.

​

In Fiscal 2025, the Company reported revenue of $298.9 million up 39% compared to $215.2 million in Fiscal 2024; cash flow provided by operating activities of $138.6 million, up $47.1 million compared to $91.6 million in the prior year; and net income attributable to equity holders of the Company of $58.2 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to net income attributable to equity holders of the Company of $36.3 million or $0.21 per share in Fiscal 2024.

On April 26, 2024 the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Adventus (the “Transaction”) by way of a plan of arrangement. Concurrent with the execution of the Arrangement Agreement on April 26, 2024, Silvercorp and Adventus entered into an investment agreement pursuant to which Silvercorp subscribed for 67,441,217 Adventus Shares at an issue price of C$0.38 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$25,627,662, which placement was completed on May 1, 2024, resulting in Silvercorp holding approximately 15% of the then issued and outstanding Adventus Shares.

On July 5, 2024, Silvercorp announced it considered litigation brought by a group of plaintiffs which sought to void the environmental licence of the El Domo Project to be a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement). On July 31, 2024, the Company announced that the local court in Las Naves Canton, Bolívar Province, Ecuador rejected the litigation on July 24, 2024. The Court ruled that the Ecuadorian government correctly discharged its environmental consultation obligations prior to issuing an environmental licence for the Project. With this local court ruling in favour of Adventus, the Company proceeded to close the Transaction on the basis that closing conditions had been satisfied.

On July 31, 2024, the Company announced that it had completed its previously announced acquisition of Adventus whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Adventus (“Adventus Shares”) that it did not already hold, pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Adventus Acquisition”). Under the terms of the Adventus Acquisition, shareholders of Adventus (other than the Company) received 0.1015 of one common share of Silvercorp (“Silvercorp Shares”) for each Adventus Share held at the effective time of the plan of arrangement (the “Exchange Ratio”). The Exchange Ratio represented a premium of 31% based on the 20-day volume weighted average prices (VWAP) of Silvercorp Shares on the TSX and Adventus Shares on the TSXV, both as at April 25, 2024, being the date prior to the announcement of the proposed Transaction. The implied equity value of the Adventus Acquisition was approximately C$200 million.

The El Domo Project is a permitted, construction stage copper-gold project, 75% owned by Adventus, covering approximately 172 ha with a buffer of 118 ha (2.9 km2 in total). The project is located in central Ecuador, approximately 150 km northeast of the major port city of Guayaquil - about a 3-hour drive. The project spans low-lying hills and plains between 300 to 900 m above sea level. In 2017, Adventus entered into an agreement with Salazar Resources Ltd. (“Salazar”) pursuant to which Adventus earned its majority interest in the El Domo Project by funding exploration and development expenditures of US$25 million over five years and meeting certain development obligations. In 2021, Adventus announced it had completed its earn-in option to obtain majority ownership (75%) of the project and entered into a shareholders agreement dated January 4, 2022 (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) with Salazar, Salazar Holdings Ltd. (the 100% shareholder of Curimining S.A) and Curimining S.A. (the registered holder of the mining concessions comprising the El Domo Project). Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, Adventus is responsible to fund 100% of all capital costs to commercial production and is entitled to receive 95% of the free cash flows until all of its investments since 2017 are repaid, after which the project cash flows will be shared 75% to Adventus and 25% to Salazar.

The El-Domo Project is the subject of an Investment Contract announced on December 28, 2022, with the Government of Ecuador, which supports the development of the project and provides various financial, tax and legal incentives and economic development benefits. The Condor Project is also the subject of an Investment Agreement with the Government of Ecuador, which is intended to support the continued advancement of the project.

In order to develop the El Domo Project, Adventus entered into a precious metals purchase agreement dated January 17, 2022 (the “PMPA”) with Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd. (“Wheaton”). The PMPA provides Adventus with access to an upfront cash consideration of $175.5 million and a $5.0 million equity commitment. Of this, $13.0 million was made available as an early deposit (the “Early Deposit”) for pre-construction activities, and $0.5 million for local community development initiatives (the “ESG Deposit”) prior to production. The remainder will be available in four installments during construction, subject to certain customary conditions precedent being satisfied. Under the PMPA, Wheaton will purchase 50% of the payable gold production until 145,000 ounces have been delivered, thereafter dropping to 33% for the life of mine; and 75% of the payable silver production until 4,600,000 ounces have been delivered, thereafter dropping to 50% for the life of mine. Wheaton will make ongoing payments for the gold and silver ounces delivered equal to 18% of the spot prices (“Production Payment”) until the value of gold and silver delivered less the Production Payment is equal to the upfront consideration of $175.5 million at which point the Production Payment will increase to 22% of the spot prices. An amount of $13.25 million under the Early Deposit and ESG Deposit was previously drawn but was subsequently repaid as announced by the Company on November 15, 2024.

The acquisition has been accounted for as an asset acquisition as it was determined that the mineral projects did not constitute a business as defined by IFRS 3 - Business Combination. The consideration paid along with the transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Adventus, was determined in accordance with IFRS 2 - Share-based Payment, and was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values.

The Company has been working to reorganize the Adventus operational structure and to advance the project. The Company has among other things, reviewed the execution plan, specifically the contracting plan, purchasing plan and construction sequence, completed an 800 m metallurgical drilling program to facilitate a metallurgical test work program aimed at optimizing the process flow sheet to improve gold recovery in copper concentrate, re-initiated the engineering works to optimize the mine layout and processing plant and is adjusting plans for surface water management infrastructure to simplify construction and reduce civil excavation and concrete requirements. Certain advance priority projects prior to commencing construction will also include site infrastructure preparation, including power and an access road, and reviewing and selecting suitable equipment and construction vendors.

On August 6, 2024, the Company announced that the Ministry of Energy and Mines of the Government of Ecuador issued a Resolution of Change of Phase for the El Domo Project which advanced the legal status of the El Domo Project from the Economic Evaluation Phase to the Exploitation Phase and allowed for the start of construction and subsequent operation of the mine. On August 21, 2024, the Company announced plans to initiate the process for construction preparation at the El Domo Project with a goal to bring the project into production.

On September 16, 2024, the Company announced the publishing of its annual Sustainability Report for fiscal 2024, detailing the Company’s ESG commitments, performance and targets. The report was prepared with reference to the GRI Standards 2021 of the Global Sustainability Standard Board (GSSB), as well as regarding the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United National Global Compact (UNGC), the Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial

On November 11, 2024, the Company announced that the board of directors declared a semi-annual dividend of $0.0125 per share to be paid to all shareholders of record at the close of business on November 29, 2024, with a payment date of the dividend scheduled on or before December 13, 2024.

On November 15, 2024, the Company announced that the Provincial Court of Bolivar, in the province of Ecuador where the El Domo project is located, dismissed the appeal filed by the plaintiffs on November 12, 2024 in respect of the El Domo constitutional protective action, affirming the rights of the Company’s Ecuadorian subsidiary, Curimining to continue construction of the Project.

Further, the Company repaid the funds previously drawn by Adventus from Wheaton under the PMPA. As at September 30, 2024, Wheaton had advanced a total of $13.25 million. Pursuant to the PMPA, Adventus was required to deliver approximately 92.3 ounces of gold per month (at the gold prices of November 15, 2024, it would be equivalent to an annual interest rate of approximately 18.5%) starting July 2024, until the construction of El Domo reached certain milestones or these funds were repaid. As a result of the repayment, the PMPA’s full $175.5 million cash contribution was available to be drawn by Silvercorp during construction, subject to certain conditions.

On November 25, 2024, the Company issued unsecured Convertible Senior Notes ("Convertible Notes") under an indenture dated November 25, 2024 (the “Convertible Note Indenture”) 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. In addition, the Convertible Notes are convertible at the holder’s option into common shares of the Company at any time prior to maturity at a fixed conversion rate of 216.0761 common shares per $1,000 principal amount, representing an initial conversion price of approximately $4.628 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. Prior to December 20, 2027, the Company may not redeem the notes except in the event of certain changes in Canadian tax law. 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.

On December 4, 2024, the Company reported its intention to develop the Condor Project, located in southern Ecuador as a high-grade underground mine.

Ying Mining District

The Ying Mining District is the Company’s primary source of production, and consists of four mining licenses, including the SGX-HZG, HPG, TLP-LME-LMW, and DCG mines.

In Fiscal 2026, a total of 1,188,459 tonnes of ore was processed at the Ying Mining District, up 17% compared to 1,013,659 tonnes milled in Fiscal 2025.

Average head grades of ore processed were 193 g/t for silver, 2.4% for lead, and 0.4% for zinc compared to 212 g/t for silver, 2.8% for lead, and 0.6% for zinc in Fiscal 2025.

Metals produced at the Ying Mining District were approximately 8,723 oz of gold, 6.345 million oz of silver, or approximately 6.999 million oz of silver equivalent, 55.1 million lb of lead and 6.6 million lb of zinc, representing increase of 16% in gold and decreases of

20


​

1%, 1%, 3% and 23% in silver, silver equivalent, lead, and zinc, respectively, compared to 7,495 oz of gold, 6.431 million oz of silver, or approximately 7.072 million oz of silver equivalent, 56.8 million lb of lead, and 8.6 million lb of zinc in Fiscal 2025.

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.

In Fiscal 2026, 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 byproduct credits, was $11.49, compared to $9.68 in Fiscal 2025, mainly due to an increase in sustaining capital expenditure as explained above.

GC Mine

In Fiscal 2026, a total of 287,053 tonnes were processed at the GC Mine, down 4% compared to 299,036 tonnes milled in Fiscal 2025.

Average head grades of ore milled were 59 g/t for silver, 0.9% for lead, and 2.7% for zinc compared to 67 g/t for silver, 0.9% for lead, and 2.5% for zinc in Fiscal 2025.

Metals produced at the GC Mine were approximately 0.458 million oz of silver, 5.2 million lb of lead, and 15.1 million lb of zinc, compared to 0.517 million oz of silver, 5.3 million lb of lead, and 14.765 million lb of zinc in Fiscal 2025. The decrease was mainly due to the lower head grade achieved.

The cash cost was $60.08 per tonne of ore processed, up 9% compared to $54.97 in Fiscal 2025. The AISC was $87.48, up 5%, compared to $83.36 in Fiscal 2025.

In Fiscal 2026, the cash costs per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, at the GC Mine, were negative $14.23, compared to negative $14.71 in Fiscal 2025. The all-in sustaining costs per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, were $4.70, compared to $3.12 in Fiscal 2025.

In addition, 11,597 metres or $4.9 million worth of sustaining or growth horizontal tunnels, raises, ramps, and declines were completed and capitalized (Fiscal 2025 – 12,165 metres or $5.2 million).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.

Kuanping Project

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

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 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 Fiscal 2026, the application of the mining rights license has been filed and is expected to be approved in Fiscal 2027.

El Domo Project

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

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.

Condor Project

The Condor Project in southern Ecuador is 100% 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 through underground mining and prepared in accordance with 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.

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.

Additional information is provided in the Company’s financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for its most recently completed fiscal year.

The mining industry is intensely competitive, and the Company competes with many companies possessing similar or greater financial and technical resources. The Company’s competitive position is largely reliant upon its ability to maintain a high margin operation, resulting from relatively high-grade resources, and lower production cost in China compared to the cost of other producers outside China. The Company’s competitive advantage also results from the quality of its concentrates and its proximity to local smelters.

In Fiscal 2026, the Company processed a total of 1,475,512 tonnes of ore and produced approximately 6.8 million ounces of silver, 8,723 ounces of gold, 60.4 million pounds of lead, and 21.7 million pounds of zinc. Ore processed surpassed the higher end of the guidance and metal production were below the guidance due to lower head grades.

In Fiscal 2025, the Company processed a total of 1,312,695 tonnes of ore and produced approximately 7,495 ounces of gold, 6.9 million ounces of silver, 62.2 million pounds of lead, and 23.3 million pounds of zinc.

In Fiscal 2024, the Company processed a total of 1,106,195 tonnes of ore and produced approximately 7,268 ounces of gold, 6.2 million ounces of silver, 63.2 million pounds of lead, and 23.4 million pounds of zinc.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 1,367 employees at the Ying Mining District (including 25 at the Kuanping Project), 286 at the GC Mine, 4 at the BYP Mine, 59 at Silvercorp Beijing corporate office, 34 at the Vancouver corporate office, 339 for our operations in Ecuador, and 53 for our operations in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Fiscal 2027 Outlook

Production and production costs

In Fiscal 2027, the Company expects to process 1,526,600 to 1,607,000 tonnes of ore, yielding approximately 9,500 to 10,000 oz of gold, 6.8 to 7.1 million oz of silver, or 7.5 to 7.8 million ounces of silver equivalent, 62.7 to 65.8 million lb of lead, and 22.3 to 23.4 million lb of zinc. The guidance represents increases of 3%-9% in ore processed, and 9% to 15% in gold, 0.04% to 4% in silver, 4% to 9% in lead, and 3% to 8% in zinc metal production compared to the Fiscal 2026 results.

24


​

The Ying Mining District plans to process 1,237,000 to 1,302,000 tonnes of ore, including nominal development ore from Kuanping, to produce 9,500 to 10,000 oz of gold, 6.4 to 6.6 million oz of silver, or 7.1 to 7.3 million ounces of silver equivalent, 56.4 to 59.2 million lb of lead, and 6.8 to 7.1 million lb of zinc for Fiscal 2027. This production guidance represents production increases of 4% to 10% in ore, 9% to 15% in gold, 0.1% to 4% in silver, 2% to 7% in lead and 3% to 8% in zinc, compared to the Fiscal 2026 results.

The cash cost at the Ying Mining District is expected to be $88.2 to $90.4 per tonne of ore, compared to the cash cost of $79.71 in Fiscal 2026. The all-in sustaining cost (AISC) is estimated at $155.4 to $161.2 per tonne, compared to the AISC of $134.19 recorded in Fiscal 2026. The higher cash cost and AISC are due to anticipated increases in contractor unit costs and more development tunnels and facilities planned for higher ore production in Fiscal 2027. More details on the near and longer term mine plan will be contained in an updated NI 43-101 technical report expected to be released in the coming weeks.

The GC Mine plans to process 290,000 to 305,000 tonnes of ore to produce 0.46 to 0.49 million oz of silver, 6.3 to 6.6 million lb of lead, and 15.5 to 16.3 million lb of zinc. Fiscal 2027 production guidance at the GC Mine represents production increases of 1% to 6% in ore and 0.4% to 7% in silver, 20% to 26% in lead and 2% to 8% in zinc compared to the Fiscal 2026 results.

The cash cost at the GC Mine is expected to be $63.1 to $64.6 per tonne of ore, compared to $60.08 recorded in Fiscal 2026. The AISC is estimated at $90.4 to $93.3 per tonne of ore processed, compared to $87.48 recorded in Fiscal 2026 as more exploration tunneling has been planned in Fiscal 2027.

The consolidated cash cost in Fiscal 2027 is expected to be $83.3 to $85.4 per tonne, while the consolidated AISC is expected to be $155.3 to $161.2 per tonne.

The total budget for the El Domo project remains unchanged at $283.6 million, consistent with the February revised budget, with an expected completion date of July 1, 2027. Spending in Q4 Fiscal 2026 totaled $15.9 million. Key activities included site preparation for the processing plant, construction of the ore shed, camp and internal roads, and ordering of major equipment.

Condor Project

In Fiscal 2027, the Company plans to obtain the environmental permit for small-scale mining, which will then allow the development of two 1,500 metre long underground tunnels totaling 3,000 metres that will provide access to the main ore bodies and to carry out underground drilling to upgrade mineral resource categories into measured and indicated. 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 expects to pool with 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.

Specialized Skill and Knowledge

Our business requires specialized skills and knowledge, certain of which are in high demand and in limited supply. Such skills and knowledge include the areas of permitting, engineering, geology, metallurgy, logistical planning, implementation of exploration programs, mine construction and development, mine operation, as well as legal compliance, finance and accounting. We have highly qualified management personnel and staff, an active recruitment program, and believe that persons having the necessary skills are generally available. We have found that we can locate and retain competent employees and consultants in such fields. We do not anticipate having significant difficulty in recruiting other personnel as needed. Training programs are in place for workers that are recruited locally.

28


​

Competitive Conditions

The exploration and mining business is a competitive business. We compete with numerous other companies and individuals in the search for and the acquisition of quality properties, mineral claims, permits, concessions and other mineral interests, as well as recruiting and retaining qualified employees.

Business Cycles

The mining business is subject to mineral prices and investment climate cycles. The marketability of minerals is also affected by worldwide economic and demand cycles. It is difficult to assess whether the current commodity prices are long-term trends, and there is uncertainty as to the recovery, or otherwise, of the world economy. If global economic conditions weaken and commodity prices decline as a consequence, a continuing period of lower prices could significantly affect the economic potential of the Company’s projects.

International Operations

Our principal mining operations and assets are in China and Ecuador, and the Kyrgyz Republic. Our operations are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, government regulations (or changes to such regulations) with respect to restrictions on production, export controls, income taxes, royalties, excise and other taxes, expropriation of property, repatriation of profits, environmental legislation, land use, water use, local ownership requirements and land claims of local people, regional and national instability and security, mine safety and sanctions. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted. See “Item 4.3 Laws and Regulations Related to Mining and Foreign Investments in China and Ecuador, and the Kyrgyz Republic”, and “4.4 Risk Factors below”.

Economic Dependence

The Company’s business is not substantially dependent on any contract such as a contract to sell a major part of its products or services or to purchase a major part of its requirements for goods, services or raw materials, or on any franchise, license or other agreements to use a patent, formula, trade secret, process or trade name upon which its business depends.

Bankruptcy and Similar Procedures

There are no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings against the Company, nor is the Company aware of any such pending or threatened proceedings. There have not been any voluntary bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings by the Company within the three most recently completed financial years or currently proposed for the current financial year.

4.2Corporate Governance, Safety, Environment and Social Responsibility

The Company’s core objectives are to be safe, efficient, and sustainable, and operate responsibly with the environment and cooperatively with the local communities. The Company strives to build a strong cooperative culture centered around our key values of respect, equality, and responsibility, and aim to deliver social and economic benefits while creating shareholder value.

As a responsible miner, the Company is committed to integrating environmental, social, and governance factors into our business strategies and generating impactful changes in the communities in which the Company works and lives. Through the integration of ESG factors into our strategic planning, operations, and management, the Company is able to bring about sustainable economic, social,

29


​

and environmental value to all stakeholders. Details of our ESG performance will be provided in the Company’s Fiscal 2026 Sustainability Report, which is expected to be available in the second quarter of Fiscal 2027.

Corporate Governance

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of the Company reviews the Company’s policies on an annual basis, including Anti-Corruption Policy, Code of Ethical Conduct, Clawback Policy, Corporate Disclosure Policy, and Whistleblower Policy, which are then approved by the Board of the Company. All of the Company’s directors and officers were re-certified with all the policies, confirming they are familiar with and acknowledge the contents of the Company’s policies, and committing to fulfill them and to report any violation. The Company also regularly trains its critical employees in anti-corruption practices. In Fiscal 2024, the Sustainability Committee of the Board of the Company adopted a Community Relations Policy, a Human Rights Protection Policy, an Environmental Protection Policy, and an Occupational Health and Safety Policy, which were then approved by the Board of the Company.

On March 26, 2025, the Board adopted the Board Diversity Policy, Biodiversity Policy, Procurement Policy and Tailings Facility Policy, and revised the Environmental Protection Policy, as proposed by the Sustainability Committee.

For more information on the Company’s Corporate Governance practices, please review the Company’s Annual Information Form and Management Information Circular available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, EDGAR at www.sec.gov, and the Company’s website at www.silvercorpmetals.com.

Health, Safety and Environment

The Company prioritizes environmental protection, as well as ensuring a safe workplace for all employees and contractors at all our sites. In an effort to further illustrate the Company’s commitment to strengthening our management team, both the Ying Mining District and GC Mine have successfully passed the annual review for the Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) certification in Fiscal 2026.

Safety is a top priority at Silvercorp. In Fiscal 2026, the Company arranged 1,607 safety training sessions, which covered 100% of workers at the Ying Mining District and the GC Mine.

In response to associated occupational health risks, the Company further improved its risk identification and management process. Both the Ying Mining District and GC Mine have successfully passed the annual review for the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (ISO 45001) certification in Fiscal 2026.

In addition to the “Green Mine” certification at SGX-HZG, TLP-LM, and HPG mines at the Ying Mining District and the GC Mine, the DCG mine at the Ying Mining District is also in the process to apply for the certification of the “Green Mine”. In Fiscal 2026, the Company processed approximately 494,022 tonnes of waste rock from the Ying Mining District.

Social Responsibility and Economic Value

The Company is committed to creating sustainable value in the communities where our people work and live. Guided by research conducted by our local offices, the Company participates in and contributes to numerous community programs that typically centre on education and health, nutrition, environmental awareness, local infrastructure and fostering additional economic activity. In

30


​

addition to the taxes and fees paid to various levels of government in China, in Fiscal 2026, the Company also contributed approximately $3.15 million to social programs.

Since the Company’s acquisition of Adventus, the Company has been focused on integrating the Company’s procedures and policies, including ESG policies, in our operations in Ecuador with continued investment in social and community. One of the key focuses will be the promotion of local trade and production, prioritizing productive chains that generate sustainable economic opportunities to the community. The Company invested and continued to promote sports and cultural spaces for children and adolescents, promoting integral development and family participation as a key element.

4.3Laws and Regulations Related to Mining and Foreign Investments

Currently, the Company’s material properties are located in China, Ecuador, and Kyrgyzstan.

Mineral Resources Law in China

Exploration for and exploitation of mineral resources in China are governed by the Mineral Resources Law of the People’s Republic of China which was first enacted in 1986 and has been revised several times since then. The latest revision was adopted on November 8, 2024, and came into effect on July 1, 2025.

The Mineral Resources Law regulates the exploration, development, utilization, and management of mineral resources in China. It defines mineral resources as non-renewable natural resources found on or under the earth’s surface, including metallic minerals, non-metallic minerals, and fossil fuels.

Some key provisions of the Mineral Resources Law include:

●Ownership of mineral resources: The law states that all mineral resources in China belong to the state, and the state has the right to grant exploration and mining rights to qualified individuals or organizations.
●Exploration and mining rights: Individuals or organizations must obtain exploration and mining rights from the government before engaging in these activities. These rights are granted by governments through a competitive bidding process, auction or listing, unless in very limited circumstances such as when the projects are related to rare earth and radioactive minerals, or key construction projects approved by the State Council, where mining rights can be granted by written transfer agreement between the government and the applicants.
●Environmental protection: The law requires mining companies to take measures to protect the environment and minimize the impact of their operations on surrounding ecosystems.
●Resource conservation: The law also mandates the conservation of mineral resources and requires companies to adopt efficient mining practices.
●Safety regulations: The law includes provisions related to safety in mining operations, including requirements for safety equipment, training for workers, and regular safety inspections.
●Financial obligations: Mining companies are required to pay fees and taxes to the government, including exploration fees, mining rights fees, resource taxes, and land use fees.

The Mineral Resources Law provides for equal legal status for domestic enterprises and enterprises with foreign investment, security and transferability of mineral titles and exclusivity of mining rights. Exploration and mining rights grant the right to explore and exploit

31


​

minerals. The holder of an exploration right has the privileged priority to obtain mining right to the mineral resources within the exploration area, provided the holders meet the conditions and requirements specified in the Mineral Resources Laws.

The Mineral Resources Law is subject to further revision through various notices and guidelines issued by different government agencies to regulate and streamline the administrative approval process and promulgate new laws to improve the regulation of mineral resources. It also places a stronger emphasis on safety and environmental protection within the mining industry.

Environmental Protection Law

The Ministry of Ecology and Environment is responsible for the supervision of environmental protection in, establishment and implementation of national standards for environmental quality and discharge of pollutants for, and supervision of the environmental management system of, the Chinese government. Environmental protection bureaus at the county level or above are responsible for environmental protection within their jurisdictions.

The Environmental Protection Law of China requires entities that operate production facilities that may cause pollution or produce other toxic materials to take steps to protect the environment and establish an environmental protection and management system. The system includes the adopting of effective measures to prevent and control exhaust gas, sewage, waste residues, dust or other waste materials. Entities discharging pollutants must register with the relevant environmental protection authorities.

The Environmental Protection Law of China and the Administrative Regulations on Environmental Protection for Construction Project stipulate that prior to the construction of new facilities or expansion or transformation of existing facilities that may cause a significant impact on the environment, a report on the environmental impact of the construction project needs to be submitted to the relevant environmental protection authority for approval. Environmental protection facilities shall be designed, constructed and put into use concurrently with the main production facilities. The newly constructed production facilities may not be operated until the relevant authority is satisfied after inspection that accompanied environmental protection facilities are in compliance with all relevant environmental protection standards.

Under the Mineral Resources Law of China, the amended Land Administration Law of China and Regulation on Land Rehabilitation, exploration of mineral resources must be in compliance with the legal requirements on environmental protection so as to prevent environmental pollution. If any damage is caused to cultivated land, grassland or forest as a result of exploration or mining activities, mining enterprises must restore the land to a state appropriate for use by reclamation, re-planting trees or grass or such other measures as appropriate to the local conditions. Mining enterprises are required to submit a rehabilitation plan when applying for construction land or mining rights and are required to include land rehabilitation expenses in their production costs or in their gross investment in construction projects. At completion of the rehabilitation stipulated in the plan, the rehabilitation is required to pass an acceptance examination conducted by the relevant government authority. If the rehabilitation is not completed or does not comply with the relevant examination requirements, the mining enterprise must pay a fee for land rehabilitation.

Upon closure of a mine, a report in relation to land rehabilitation and environmental protection must be submitted for approval. Enterprises which fail to perform or satisfy the requirements on land rehabilitation may be penalised by the relevant land administration authority.

The Ministry of Ecology and Environmental shall formulate national standards on emission of pollutants in accordance with the national standards on environmental quality, and the State economic and technological conditions. Governments at the provincial level and of the autonomous regions and municipalities may formulate their respective local standards on the discharge of pollutants

32


​

for items not specified in the national standards. These local governments may formulate local standards which are more stringent than the national ones for items already specified in the national standards. Pursuant to the requirements under the amended Law on Prevention of Water Pollution of China, the amended Law on Prevention of Air Pollution of China, and Law on Environmental Protection Tax of China, Enterprises and producers that directly discharge taxable pollutants into the environment are the taxpayers of environmental protection tax and shall pay environmental protection tax in accordance with the provisions of the Law. Taxpayers who file quarterly returns shall, within fifteen days from the end of the quarter, file tax returns and pay taxes to the tax authorities.

Under the amended Law on Prevention of Environmental Pollution Caused by Solid Waste of China, entities and individuals collecting, storing, transporting, utilising or disposing of solid waste must take precautions against the spread, loss, and leakage of such solid waste or adopt such other measures to prevent such solid waste from polluting the environment.

The penalties for breach of the environmental protection laws vary from warnings, fines, suspending production or operation to other administrative sanctions, depending on the degree of damage or the results of the incidents. The responsible person of the entity may be subject to criminal liabilities for serious breaches resulting in significant damage to private or public property or personal injury or death.

As the environmental protection is under the administration and supervision of authorities that are distinct from the ones issuing the exploration and mining permits, the breach of the relevant environmental protection laws would not entail revocation of the exploration and mining permits directly. However, the environmental protection authorities may seek cooperation from the authorities in charge of the issuance of such permits, which are competent to revoke the exploration and mining permits pursuant to the Mineral Resources Law of China.

Mine Safety Production Law

The Chinese government has formulated a relatively comprehensive set of laws and regulations on production safety, including the Law on Production Safety of China, the Law on Mine Safety of China, the Law on Fire Protection of China, the Law on Road Traffic Safety of China, the Law on Special Equipment Safety of China, the Law on Emergency Response of China, the Law on Occupational Disease Prevention and Control of China as well as several regulations, such as the Safety Production License, etc., which pertain to the mining, processing and smelting operation of the mining industry. The Ministry of Emergency Management is responsible for the overall supervision and management of production safety nationwide while the departments in charge of production safety at the county level or above are responsible for the overall supervision and management of the production safety within their own jurisdictions.

The State implements a licensing system for production safety of mining enterprises. No mining enterprise may engage in production activities without holding a valid production safety certificate. Enterprises which fail to fulfil the production safety conditions are not allowed to carry out any production activity. Mining enterprises which have obtained the production safety certificate may not lower their production safety standards and are subject to the supervision and inspection by the licensing authorities from time to time. If the licensing authorities are of the opinion that the mining enterprises do not fulfil the production safety requirements, the production safety certificate may be withheld or revoked. At the same, the State implements a system of registered safety engineer and mining enterprises should have registered safety engineers engaged in safety production management work.

The State has also formulated a set of national standards on production safety for the mining industry. In general, the mine design must comply with the production safety requirements and industry practice.

33


​

A mining enterprise must establish a management body or a designated safety management team to be responsible for production safety matters. Education and training on production safety must be provided to workers to ensure that they fully understand the regulations and the procedures required for production safety and are able to master the necessary skills for operation safety for their own positions. Those who do not receive this education and training are not permitted to work at the mine.

The penalties for breach of production safety laws vary from warnings, fines, suspension of production or operation and other administrative sanctions, depending on the degree of damage and the nature of the incident. The person who is personally responsible for such an incident may be subject to demotion or termination of employment, or criminal liability for serious breaches resulting in significant incidents. The State has implemented an accountability system over incidents relating to production safety.

As production safety is under the administration and supervision of authorities that are different from the ones issuing the exploration and mining permits, the breach of the relevant production safety laws would not entail revocation of the exploration and mining permits directly. However, the production safety authorities may seek cooperation from the authorities in charge of the issuance of such permits, which have the authority to revoke the exploration and mining permits according to the Mineral Resources Law of China.

Foreign Investment

Under the Foreign Investment Law of the PRC (adopted on March 15, 2019, and effective as of January 1, 2020), foreign-invested enterprises are generally subject to the same legal and regulatory framework as domestic enterprises in sectors outside the negative list, in accordance with the principle of pre-establishment national treatment. Different rules or additional compliance obligations may apply to foreign-invested enterprises only in sectors included in the negative list, or with respect to certain procedural requirements such as foreign investment information reporting and foreign exchange registration.

The Implementing Rules of Foreign Investment Law, which was promulgated by the PRC State Council on December 26, 2019 and became effective on January 1, 2020, further clarified that the state encourages and promotes foreign investment, protects the lawful rights and interests of foreign investors, regulates foreign investment administration, continues to optimize the foreign investment environment, and advances a higher-level opening. On the same day, the PRC Supreme People’s Court issued an Interpretation on Certain Issues Concerning the Application of the Foreign Investment Law of the PRC, or the Interpretation, which also came into effect on January 1, 2020. The Interpretation provides guidance on questions relating to the effectiveness and enforceability of agreements relating to foreign investments, such as shareholder agreements, share transfer agreements, and project contracts that may arise under the new negative list system for administration of foreign investment, according to which, investment agreements relating to foreign investment in violation of the negative list management system may be void.

According to the 2024 Edition of the Special Administrative Measures for Access of Foreign Investment (“Negative List”) effective November 1, 2024, as long as the mineral resources are not “rare earth, radioactive minerals and tungsten” in the Negative List, foreign investors can engage in the mining activities in China, either directly or indirectly.

On January 1, 2020, the Regulation for Implementing the Foreign Investment Law (“FIL”) came into force in China. FIL and supporting regulations and policies were amended to further open up China and provide foreign-invested enterprises (“FIEs”) “national treatment”. Under FIL, FIEs are treated equal to domestic enterprises in many important respects, including the reduction of pre-approval and filing procedures. FIL replaces the laws on foreign investment passed in China between 1979 and 1990, namely the Law on Sino-Foreign Contractual Joint Ventures (“CJV Law”).

34


​

Corporate Governance

Pursuant to the FIL, effective January 1, 2020, the corporate form, governance structure, and operating rules of newly established FIEs shall, depending on the nature of the entity, be governed by the Company Law of the PRC or the Partnership Enterprise Law of the PRC, as applicable. FIEs established prior to the implementation of the FIL shall complete the restructuring of their forms of organization within five years of the law’s effective date (being January 1, 2020). Following the expiry of the five-year transition period, all FIEs are now subject to the Company Law of the PRC, the Partnership Enterprise Law of the PRC, and other applicable laws and regulations.

In accordance with the foregoing statutory requirements, all subsidiaries and operating entities established by the Company in the PRC (collectively, the "Domestic Entities") have duly completed the required restructuring and amendments of their corporate form, governance structures, and operational rules in compliance with the applicable law. The highest governing authority of each Domestic Entity has been changed from the board of directors to the shareholders’ meeting, which now exercises, in accordance with the law, the ultimate decision-making authority over significant corporate matters, including but not limited to the election and removal of directors, and holds broad authority with respect to the Company’s business policies, investment plans, and financial management.

Resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting on material corporate matters, such as amendments to the articles of association, increases or reductions of registered capital, mergers, divisions, dissolutions, or changes in corporate form, shall be approved by shareholders representing two-thirds or more of the voting rights, subject to any alternative voting arrangements stipulated in the articles of association. The term of operation of each Domestic Entity has been changed from a fixed period of 30 years to an indefinite term with no prescribed expiry date. There is generally no statutory limitation on the percentage of foreign ownership that may be held in the equity of a Domestic Entity, except where restrictions are imposed under the Negative List and other applicable regulatory policies and guidance.

All of the foregoing changes were implemented by the Company’s Domestic Entities in accordance with applicable laws, and all required registration and filings have been completed with the relevant governmental and regulatory authorities. Consequently, all of the Company’s Domestic Entities are now governed by the Company Law of the PRC, the Partnership Enterprise Law of the PRC, and other applicable laws and regulations, and shall, in principle, be subject to substantially the same legal and regulatory framework applicable to domestic-invested enterprises in PRC and benefit from the principle of pre-establishment national treatment.

Equity Transfer

Under CJV Law, a shareholder needs to obtain consents of all other shareholders if it intends to transfer its shares in the joint venture regardless of whether it is an internal transfer (i.e., transfer to another shareholder if there are more than two shareholders) or it is an external transfer. In contrast, FIL offers more flexible transfer mechanisms – there is no consent requirement if it is an internal transfer. In cases of external transfers, consents of more than half of the other shareholders are required and if any other shareholder refuses the transfer but refuses to buy such shares to be transferred, then such shareholder shall be deemed having agreed with the proposed transfer. The FIL also allows the shareholders to agree on different share transfer mechanisms, which gives more flexibility to shareholders on transfer of shares.

Under FIL, FIEs can participate in government procurement, issue shares, corporate bonds and other forms of financing to the public in accordance with applicable laws. Capital gains within China by FIEs can be freely remitted in RMB or any other foreign currency. In addition to accepting supervision and inspection by applicable regulatory authorities, no organization or individual may illegally restrict the currency, amount, and frequency of remittances.

​

National Security Review for Foreign Investment

China has further developed the national security review for foreign investment. Such review may leave certain discretion in the hands of the government, and therefore, whether they will have an adverse effect on foreign investors will depend on how they are applied in practice.

Under the FIL, it is reiterated that security review may be conducted for any foreign investment that affects or may affect the national security of China. On December 19, 2020, the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) and the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) jointly promulgated the Measures for National Security Review of Foreign Investment (“Measures”), taking effect on January 18, 2021. The Measures cover a wide range of industry sectors, from defence and technology involving foreign investment, to critical agricultural production, energy and resources, cultural products and financial services where a foreign investor gains actual control of an investment target. The term “actual control” is defined quite broadly and includes the following situations: if foreign investors own more than 50 percent of the shares; if foreign investors owns less than 50 percent of the shares, but have sufficient voting rights to exert a material influence over the shareholders’ vote and resolutions of the board of directors; or if foreign investors have a significant impact on the target’s business decisions-making, human resources, finance or technologies, etc. Further, foreign investors are subject to national security review not only for investing in new projects or acquiring equity or assets, but also for any other types of investment such as nominal shareholders, trust, multiple-layer investments, lease, control by agreement or offshore transactions. Regarding any transaction falling under the Measures, a foreign investor will have to file a notification with the review task force headed by NDRC and MOFCOM. After their review, the foreign investment may be approved, directly prohibited or granted conditional approval.

On September 19, 2020, MOFCOM initially announced the Provisions on the Unreliable Entity List, aiming to punish firms, organizations or individuals that damage national security. Companies that are on the list could be banned from trade and investing in China and face hefty fines or entry restrictions on their employees. On January 9, 2021, MOFCOM further issued the Rules on Counteracting Unjustified Extra - Territorial Application of Foreign Legislation and Other Measures. A Chinese person or organization that is prohibited or restricted by foreign legislation from engaging in normal economic, trade and related activities with a third State or region or its persons or organizations, must report the situation to the competent department of commerce of the State Council within 30 days. The commerce department along with other relevant central departments (working mechanism) will then assess a case for its potential violation of international law, impact on China’s sovereignty and national security, and impact on Chinese persons or organizations. After assessment, the working mechanism may confirm that there exists unjustified extra-territorial application of foreign legislation/measures and decide that the competent department of commerce of the State Council shall issue a prohibition order.

Mining in Ecuador

Ecuador is a Spanish-speaking democratic republic located in western South America, bordered by Colombia to the north and Peru to the east and south. Ecuador adopted the United States dollar as its official currency in 2000.

The Government of Ecuador (the “GOE”) over the past several years propped up the country’s growth by continued high levels of public spending to stimulate the economy as oil prices fell. Ecuador holds South America’s third-largest oil reserves. The reliance on oil has been cited by the GOE as a problem, while the increase in mining sector activity is viewed as an avenue for diversification and

36


​

a significant source of foreign direct investment. Over the past several years, the GOE has made significant efforts to encourage foreign direct investment and access to global capital markets, through various policy reforms.

Starting in 2012, the GOE worked to revise the mining laws and agreements with foreign mining companies and encouraged investment in the mining sector. In 2014, Wood Mackenzie, a global energy, metals and mining research and consultancy group, was commissioned by the GOE to compare Ecuador’s mining policy to those of other prominent Latin American mining jurisdictions and make recommendations for potential improvements. As successful milestones in 2019, the first two modern industrial large-scale mines were completed and began operations in Ecuador: the Mirador open-pit copper-gold mine (the “Mirador Project”) owned by Ecuacorriente S.A, a subsidiary of a Chinese consortium CRCC-Tongguan, and the Fruta del Norte underground gold mine owned by Lundin Gold Inc., each located in the Zamora-Chinchipe province in southern Ecuador. The combined capital cost of the mines was over $2 billion and the projects created thousands of jobs for Ecuadorians.

There are still several areas where Ecuador needs to update or revise its regulations, specifically in the area of exploration permitting and consultation. The land system has remained closed now for over six years in order to clean up several inconsistencies and to establish revised methods for “staking” of concessions and clearer rules on work requirements and prior consultation with communities.

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 Assembly were 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. In 2025, President Noboa was re-elected for a full four-year term, providing a potential opportunity for greater political continuity. President Noboa has faced the following main issues: (i) an increase in crime, including drug trafficking, (ii) economic factors including subsidies for fuels and electricity, and (iii) the severe shortage of electricity due to a drought in 2024.

In 2024, electricity shortages became a big issue in Ecuador, resulting in electricity being unavailable for periods of more than 8 hours a day throughout the country. Under these circumstances, the GOE in mid-October 2024 ceased providing electricity to the Mirador Project and the mine had no option other than to temporarily close production. Electricity rates for large consumers, including mining companies have been increased, leading to higher costs of operation. Large consumers, including mining companies, will need to contemplate and plan for their own power generation or find a suitable private provider of electricity.

In addition, recent decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador have created significant uncertainty regarding the ability to permit exploration activities near protected forests and the need to carry out consultation activities prior to the start of any activities. Any shifts in political attitudes, changes in laws or Constitutional Court rulings that may result in, among other things, significant changes to mining laws or any other national legal body of regulations or policies are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. The Company faces the risk that governments may adopt substantially different policies, which might extend to the expropriation of assets, the prohibition or restriction of certain mining activities or increased government participation in the mining sector. In addition, changes in resource development or investment policies, lack of government resources, increases in taxation rates, higher mining fees and royalty payments, revocation or cancellation of mining concession rights or shifts in political attitudes in Ecuador may adversely affect Company’s business.

Ecuador offers potential investment opportunities despite its current political and economic challenges. The country has shown resilience and determination towards economic reforms and has taken steps to improve its investment climate. In terms of politics, Ecuador has experienced some instability in recent years, but the current government has shown a commitment to anticorruption

37


​

measures and governance improvements. This includes efforts to enhance transparency, streamline regulations, and create a favourable environment for foreign investment. The government has also expressed a willingness to engage with the private sector.

Economically, Ecuador has taken measures to address its fiscal imbalances, reduce public debt, and diversify its economy. The country is implementing structural reforms to boost competitiveness, attract foreign investment, and promote sectors such as renewable energy, agribusiness, and mining. Additionally, Ecuador offers attractive incentives for foreign investors, such as tax breaks, streamlined customs procedures, and investment protection guarantees.

Ecuador has a young and growing workforce, which presents opportunities for skilled labor and innovation. The country has also made efforts to improve infrastructure, including transportation, energy, and telecommunications, to support business operations and facilitate investment. Ecuador has faced social issues such as poverty, inequality, and limited access to basic services, which have contributed to social unrest and protests. These social challenges can pose risks to businesses and investments in the country, including potential disruptions to operations and supply chains.

Taxes in Ecuador

Below is a summary of the additional payments and taxes expected to be required in connection with the El Domo Project under Ecuadorian law:

​

Applicable Payment or Tax

Description

Income Tax

The mining concessionaire will be subject to 20% corporate income tax on its gross income less deductible costs, including operating expenses and certain investments and fiscal charges applicable to revenues and pre-tax profits (see below).

Profit Sharing Contributions

The mining concessionaire must make a total profit-sharing payment equal to 15% of its pre-tax income. Of this amount, distributions are made to the mining concessionaire’s employees and to the GOE to be used for social investment projects involving health, education and housing through local organizations in the area surrounding the El Domo Project:

●
Small-scale mining – 10% to mining concessionaire’s employees and 5% to the GOE
●
Medium-scale mining – 5% to mining concessionaire’s employees and 10% to the GOE
●
Large-scale mining – 3% to mining concessionaire’s employees and 12% to the GOE

Profit sharing payments are a deductible expense for income tax purposes.

Value Added Tax

The mining concessionaire must pay VAT on goods and services purchased within Ecuador or imported from abroad, subject to certain exclusions for items such as Ecuadorian payroll, fuel, power, food and medicines. The standard rate of VAT is 15%. VAT paid by the Company after January 1, 2018 will be refunded as a credit against other taxes once the Company begins to generate export sales.

VAT paid on acquisitions of goods and services that has not been offset as a tax credit or refunded will be credited against the sovereign adjustment described below.

Royalty

The mining concessionaire is subject to a net smelter royalty from production:

●
Small-scale mining – 3%
●
Medium and large-scale mining – between 3%-8%

Decreto Ejecutivo No. 273 (issued December 31, 2025) introduced reforms to the calculation of mining royalties in Ecuador, specifically targeting medium and large-scale operations. The reform enforces a progressive royalty range of 3% to 8%, with specific percentages often determined by the average market price over a 10-year statistical period plus standard deviation thresholds

Sovereign Adjustment

To the extent that the GOE’s cumulative benefit falls below 50%, the Company will be required to pay an annual sovereign adjustment. Each year, the benefits to the Company will be calculated as the net present value of the actual cumulative free cash flows of the El Domo Project from its inception. The GOE’s benefit will be calculated as the present value of the cumulative sum of taxes paid including corporate income taxes, royalties, labour profit sharing paid to the State, non-recoverable value-added tax, and any previous sovereign adjustment payments.

Other Taxes

The mining concessionaire is also subject to other taxes common to businesses operating in Ecuador including customs duties, capital outflow tax, municipal fees, and property tax. These are not eligible for government benefit (Sovereign Adjustment).

Mining in Kyrgyzstan

Foreign-invested companies engaged in mining and related activities in the Kyrgyz Republic are subject to a number of laws and regulations, including those relating to corporate and civil law, subsoil use, foreign investment, taxation, environmental and industrial safety, labour and strategic objects.

Corporate and Civil Law

Joint stock companies in the Kyrgyz Republic are incorporated and operate under the Civil Code of the Kyrgyz Republic (Part I) dated May 8, 1996 No. 15 and the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic “On Joint Stock Companies” dated March 27, 2003 No. 64. These laws govern, among other matters, the legal status of joint stock companies, the limited liability of shareholders and the corporate governance framework, including the respective powers of the general meeting of shareholders, the board of directors and the executive body, as well as the requirements and procedures for the approval of major transactions and related party transactions.

Subsoil Use and Mining Regulation

Exploration and mining activities in the Kyrgyz Republic are principally regulated by the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic “On Subsoil” dated May 19, 2018 No. 49 and the Regulation on the Procedure for Licensing Subsoil Use approved by Resolution of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic dated November 29, 2018 No. 561. These instruments establish State ownership of subsoil resources and prescribe the conditions and procedures for the granting, extension, suspension and revocation of exploration and mining licences. Article 30 of the Law “On Subsoil” further imposes an obligation on subsoil users in respect of deposits of national significance to enter into “social package” agreements with local administrative bodies, providing for investment in the socio economic development of the local communities where such deposits are located.

Investment Protection and Guarantees

Foreign investments in the Kyrgyz Republic are governed by the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic “On Investments in the Kyrgyz Republic” dated August 12, 2025 No. 198. This law provides, among other things, for national treatment of foreign investors, freedom to make investments and the right to repatriate profits, dividends and capital, and sets out protections against expropriation or nationalization other than on the basis of law, for public purposes and against fair market compensation. It also establishes a “stabilisation regime” under which qualifying investors may, subject to prescribed conditions, elect to apply more favourable tax and non tax conditions for a period of up to 10 years where subsequent legislative changes would otherwise adversely affect such conditions.

Taxation

Business activities in the Kyrgyz Republic are subject to the Tax Code of the Kyrgyz Republic dated January 18, 2022 No. 3. In addition to generally applicable taxes (including corporate income tax and value added tax), subsoil users are subject to specific subsoil related taxes, such as:

·

bonuses, being one off payments levied upon the granting of subsoil rights or upon certain changes in the ownership of the charter capital of a subsoil user; and

·

royalties, being recurring payments calculated by reference to the use of subsoil for the extraction of minerals.

40


​

Environmental and Industrial Safety

Mining operations in the Kyrgyz Republic are required to comply with environmental protection and industrial safety requirements under applicable legislation. Technical projects for the development of subsoil deposits are subject to mandatory state ecological expertise, industrial safety expertise and subsoil protection assessments. Operators are required, among other things, to conduct environmental impact assessments and to implement and fund land reclamation measures, including through the establishment of a dedicated reclamation fund in accordance with Kyrgyz Labour and Employment legislation.

Employment relationships in the Kyrgyz Republic are regulated by the Labour Code of the Kyrgyz Republic dated January 23, 2025 No. 23. Employers must comply with statutory requirements in respect of working hours and rest periods, minimum remuneration and other employment standards, as well as occupational health and safety obligations.

Strategic Objects Regulation

Certain mineral deposits and related assets in the Kyrgyz Republic may be designated as strategic objects of national significance. The corporate ownership of legal entities holding such strategic objects, and any transfers of their shares, are regulated by the Regulation on the Procedure for the Implementation by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic of the Pre emptive Right to Purchase Strategic Objects approved by Resolution No. 164 dated September 7, 2021. Under this framework, the State holds a statutory pre emptive right to acquire shares in legal entities that hold conditional upon a formal waiver of this pre emptive right by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic, and, absent such waiver, the relevant transaction may be invalid under Kyrgyz law.

4.4Risk Factors

An investment in the Common Shares of the Company involves a significant degree of risk and ought to be considered a highly speculative investment. The following risk factors, as well as risks not currently known to the Company, could materially adversely affect the Company’s future business, operations and financial condition and could cause them to differ materially from the estimates described in the forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company.

The prices of silver, lead, zinc, gold and other metals fluctuate widely, and a substantial or extended decline in prices could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

The Company primarily produces and sells silver, lead, zinc, gold and other metals. 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. 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; lead and zinc are fixed against the Shanghai Metals Exchange; and gold is fixed against the Shanghai Gold Exchange, after the deduction of certain smelter charges by smelters.

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 relating 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

41


​

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. Fluctuations in the price of metals may also impact the financial condition of the Company under certain metal delivery arrangements entered into by the Company or that may be entered into in the future.

Recent market events and conditions of worldwide securities markets may adversely impact our ability to obtain financing.

Over the past several years market events and conditions, including disruptions in the Canadian, United States and international credit markets and other financial systems, along with the uncertainty of the Canadian, United States and global economic conditions which have been heightened due to risks relating to pandemics, and the prior decline in precious and base metal prices, could, among other things, impede access to capital or increase the cost of capital, which would have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to fund its working capital and other capital requirements.

Over the past several years, worldwide securities markets, particularly those in the United States and Canada, have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility. Of note, the share prices of natural resource companies have in the past experienced an extraordinary decline in value and in the number of buyers willing to purchase such securities. In addition, significantly higher redemptions by holders of mutual funds have forced many of such funds (including those holding the Company’s securities) to sell such securities with little consideration to the price received.

Therefore, there can be no assurance that significant fluctuations in the trading price of the Company’s common shares will not occur, or that such fluctuations will not materially adversely impact the Company’s ability to raise equity funding without significant dilution to its existing shareholders, or at all.

Shares Reserved for Future Issuances; Dilution

We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, and we may issue additional equity securities, including additional common shares, preferred shares or other equity-linked securities, in private placements or public offerings. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances of securities of the Company or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of securities will have on the market price or any securities of the Company that are issued and outstanding from time to time.

Sales or issuances of substantial amounts of securities of the Company, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect market prices for the securities of the Company that are issued and outstanding from time to time. The Convertible Notes, in accordance with their terms, are convertible into Common Shares of the Company. In addition, the Company has outstanding stock options, restricted share units and share purchase warrants. Any such convertible securities are more likely to be exercised when the market price of the Company’s Common Shares exceeds the exercise price of such instruments. The issuance of shares and the exercise of convertible securities and the subsequent resale of such Common Shares in the public markets could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Company’s Common Shares. Any share issuances from the Company’s treasury will result in immediate dilution to existing shareholders.

​

Techniques employed by short sellers and hedging activities may depress the trading price of our shares.

Short selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed from a third party with the intention of buying identical securities back at a later date to return to the lender. Short sellers hope to profit from a decline in the price of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the replacement securities, as short sellers expect to pay less in that purchase than they received in the sale. As it is in the short sellers’ interest for the price of the security to decline, many short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, negative opinions regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects in order to create negative market momentum and generate profits for themselves after selling a security short. These short attacks have, in the past, led to selling of shares in the market.

Public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China have been the subject of short selling. Much of the scrutiny and negative publicity has centered on allegations of a lack of effective internal control over financial reporting resulting in financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. If we were to become the subject of any unfavourable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we could have to expend a significant amount of resources to investigate such allegations and/ or defend ourselves. While we would strongly defend against any such short seller attacks, we may be constrained in the way we can proceed against the relevant short seller by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law or issues of commercial confidentiality. Such a situation could be costly and time-consuming and could distract our management from growing our business. Even if such allegations are ultimately proven to be groundless, allegations against us could severely impact our business operations, and any investment in our shares could be greatly reduced or even rendered worthless.

Mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates are based on a number of assumptions and may not reflect the amount of minerals that may ultimately be extracted.

The estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves are based on a number of assumptions made by the relevant Qualified Persons in accordance with NI 43-101 (each a “Qualified Person”). 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 compliant and cannot be relied on.

While operating in China, one must follow Chinese mining-related laws and regulations to apply or renew mining permits, including approval of a report of mineral resources and mineral reserves estimates by relevant governmental authorities. Then the report needs to be filed with the Ministry of Natural Resources or provincial natural resources authorities (depending 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 uses different standards for matters such as 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.

Each year, mines in China are required to file a “Dynamic Reconnaissance Report” on mineral resources, which reports 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 that has been 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 does not require an updated report of mineral resources and mineral reserves estimates every year, any new discovery after the mining permit is issued and production begins may not be reflected in the annual “Dynamic Reconnaissance

43


​

Report”. Accordingly, this “Dynamic Reconnaissance Report” (prepared before the annulment) may have different results from a NI 43-101 report which may have been completed for that year as the NI 43-101 report 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 herein 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.

Mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates may change adversely, and such changes may negatively impact our results of operations or financial condition.

Unless otherwise indicated, mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates presented in this AIF and in the Company’s other 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 AIF 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, gold, copper, lead, zinc 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 mineral 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

44


​

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 the Company’s cash flows, earnings, operational results, and financial condition.

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 the Company’s business and its profitability is dependent, in part, on the costs and success of its 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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 the control of the Company. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company’s 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 the Company’s operations and profitability.

Mineral projects have a finite life and eventual closure of mineral projects will entail costs and risks regarding ongoing remediation, 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 ongoing 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.

We are subject to laws and regulations in other jurisdictions, violation of which could have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects.

The Company is incorporated in Canada with a corporate office in Vancouver, Canada. As at the date of this AIF, the Company (i) has its shares listed on the TSX and the NYSE American, (ii) is subject to continuous reporting obligations under the U.S. Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and under Canadian securities laws, (iii) is conducting mining and exploration operations in China, Kyrgyzstan, and Ecuador; (iv) holds a minority interest in New Pacific, which holds majority interests in three different mineral properties located in Bolivia; (v) holds a minority interest in Auro, which holds interests in two tin projects in Bolivia; and (vi) controls several exploration projects in Ecuador and Ireland through the Adventus Acquisition.

45


​

In addition, we also control a subsidiary which is 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 existing operations, investments and development projects 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, Ecuador, Bolivia, Kyrgyzstan, and 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 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 condition 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 condition are, to a material extent, subject to the economic, political and social conditions and legal and regulatory developments 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, Ecuador, Bolivia, and the Kyrgyz Republic. Any severe or prolonged negative impacts on the economic, political or social conditions in these countries in which we operate may affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, investments and business prospects.

We are subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, and any violations could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our operations are governed by, and involve interactions with, various levels of government in multiple jurisdictions, including Canada, the United States, China, Ecuador, and the Kyrgyz Republic. We are required to comply with anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) and similar anti-corruption regulations. These laws generally prohibit bribery or improper payments to government officials to obtain or retain business and mandate accurate books, records, and internal controls. The FCPA also requires companies to maintain accurate books and records and internal controls. Violations can arise not only from our employees but also from contractors, subsidiaries, or third-party agents acting on our behalf.

46


​

Enforcement of these laws has intensified in recent years, with heightened scrutiny, severe penalties, and potential reputational harm for violators. While we maintain internal compliance policies and procedures, they may not always be effective in ensuring that the Company, our employees, contractors or third-party agents will comply strictly with all such applicable laws. Any enforcement action, investigation, or finding of noncompliance could result in substantial fines, sanctions, business restrictions, or other adverse consequences, materially impacting our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects.

We may be subject to heightened scrutiny by the SEC or other regulators in the United States that could adversely affect our business and operations.

In recent years, there have been heightened scrutiny of U.S.-listed companies with operations in China, evolving disclosure requirements, and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) audit access issues. In particular, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, as amended by the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, empowered the SEC to impose U.S. trading prohibitions on issuers whose auditors cannot be fully inspected or investigated by the PCAOB for a specified period because of positions taken by foreign authorities. Although the PCAOB announced in recent years that it had secured complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms in China and Hong Kong, there can be no assurance that such access will continue or that future regulatory or political developments will not adversely affect companies with operations in China.

Due to our China operations, we may be subject to heightened scrutiny by the SEC or other regulators and political institutions in the United States that may adversely affect our ability to do business or maintain our stock exchange listing in the United States. Such scrutiny may also result in additional compliance obligations, increased costs associated with legal, accounting and regulatory matters, enhanced disclosure requirements, or requests for additional information regarding our business and operations.

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act that files reports and other documents with the SEC pursuant to the Canada-U.S. multijurisdictional disclosure system (“MJDS”), and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies and non-MJDS foreign private issuers.

Because we are a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the U.S. that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:

·

the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC;

·

the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

·

the sections of the Exchange Act requiring certain insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities, imposing liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time and prohibiting short sales; and

·

the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material non-public information under Regulation FD under the Exchange Act.

Because we are a Canadian company that is eligible to file reports and other documents with the SEC pursuant to the MJDS system, we are also:

·

permitted to file our annual report with the SEC on Form 40-F in reliance upon Canadian securities law requirements, which exempts us from many of the disclosure requirements otherwise applicable to foreign private issuer on Form 20-F; and

·

permitted to disclose technical and scientific information, including estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves, for our mineral properties pursuant to the NI 43-101 Code, in lieu of complying with the SEC’s standards for such disclosures

47


​

under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (“Subpart 1300”), and are exempt from the requirement to file Subpart 1300 compliant technical report summaries with the SEC.

We are required to file an annual report with the SEC following the end of each fiscal year. In addition, we intend to publish our results on a quarterly basis through press releases, distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the NYSE American. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC may be less extensive and less timely than that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers and non-MJDS foreign private issuers. The information we disclose may also differ significantly from the information that would be disclosed by U.S. domestic issuers and non-MJDS foreign private issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would be made available to you were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.

We may be unable to maintain compliance with NYSE American and TSX continued listing standards, which would likely cause the liquidity and market price of our shares to decline.

Our shares are currently listed on the NYSE American and the TSX. We are subject to the continued listing criteria of the NYSE American and the TSX, and such exchanges will consider suspending dealings in, or delisting, securities of an issuer that does not meet its continued listing standards. In order to maintain the listings, we must maintain certain corporate governance standards. We must also satisfy certain objective standards, such as share prices, shareholders’ equity, market capitalization and share distribution targets. In addition, the NYSE American may delist the securities of any issuer, among other reasons, if the issuer sells or disposes of principal operating assets, ceases to be an operating company or has discontinued a substantial portion of its operations or business for any reason or the NYSE American otherwise determines that the securities are unsuitable for continued trading. We may not be able to satisfy these standards and remain listed on the NYSE American and the TSX.

Delisting of our shares may result in a breach or default under certain of our agreements. A delisting of our shares could also adversely affect our reputation, our ability to raise funds through the sale of equity or securities convertible into equity and the terms of any such fundraising, the liquidity and market price of our shares and the ability of broker-dealers to purchase our shares.

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 favourable 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 cost 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

48


​

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 labor 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.

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 the Company’s growth and profitability. Specifically: the (i) volatility of silver, lead, zinc, gold and copper prices may impact the Company’s revenues, profits, losses, cash flow and prospects; (ii) volatile energy prices, commodity and consumable prices and currency exchange rates would impact the Company’s production costs; and (iii) the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets may impact the valuation of the Company’s equity and other securities. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

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 are no assurances if and when a particular mineral property of the Company can enter into production. The amount of future production is based on, among other things, the estimates prepared by or for the Company. The capital and operating costs to take the Company’s 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 the Company and may differ significantly from their actual values. There can be no assurance that the Company’s 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 the Company.

49


​

We may fail to successfully integrate future acquisitions into existing operations.

If the Company plans 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 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 investment, in particular, on mineral resources; and (v) compliance with the requirements of applicable sanctions, anti-bribery and related laws and regulations.

If the Company makes 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 the Company’s 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 the Company makes an acquisition outside of markets in which it has previously operated, conducting and managing operations in a new operating environment.

Acquiring additional businesses or properties could place pressure on the Company’s cash reserves if such acquisitions involve cash consideration or if such acquisitions involve share consideration, existing shareholders may experience dilution.

The integration of the Company’s existing operations with any acquired business may require significant expenditures of time, attention and funds. Achievement of the benefits expected from consolidation may require the Company to incur significant costs in connection with, among other things, implementing financial and planning systems. The Company may not be able to integrate the operations of a recently acquired business or restructure the Company’s previously existing business operations without encountering difficulties and delays. In addition, this integration may require significant attention from the Company’s management team, which may detract attention from the Company’s day-to-day operations.

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

The title to some of our mineral projects may be uncertain or defective, which could put our investment 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

50


​

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 land owners 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.

We derive a substantial portion of our sales from a small number of customers.

The Company sells a substantial portion of its products to a small number of customers. In line with the industry norm, smelting companies usually strategically choose to transact with suppliers close to them to reduce production costs, which they usually need to bear. Because the Ying Property is located close to large smelting companies in the Henan Province of China, we record a significant portion of our revenue from sales to a small number of our top customers. We usually enter into an annual framework agreement with our customers primarily to establish the business relationship and the principal framework for the transactions between us. Such framework agreement typically stipulates our policies on pricing, delivery and inspection, while not including binding provisions on the purchase amount nor specific price of our products. Our customers usually negotiate with us on the purchase of our products on a monthly basis and then enter into sales agreements as supplementary agreements to the annual framework agreement. Our customers may switch suppliers without incurring significant costs. There is no assurance that we will be able to retain these customers on mutually acceptable terms or at all or that they will maintain their current level of business with us. If there is a reduction or cessation of orders from these customers for any reason and we are unable to obtain, in substitution, suitable orders of a comparable volume, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Our non-controlling interest shareholders could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s 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 the Company’s profitability or the viability of its interests held with non-controlling interest shareholders, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business prospects, results of operations and financial condition: (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.

Failure or improper management of our tailings storage facilities (TSFs) could negatively impact our business, reputation and results of operations.

Mining companies face inherent operational, environmental, health and safety risks in their operation and management of TSFs. TSFs are critical structures designed and managed to contain fine mining waste or tailing, being the waste materials remaining after the extraction of valuable minerals from ore.

Structural failures or improper management of TSFs could result in severe consequences for nearby communities, local economies and the surrounding environment. Such risks may be exacerbated in regions prone to seismic activity or extreme weather events. For example, heavy rainfall or flooding may lead to rising water levels overflow, or structure failure, while earthquakes may cause instability, subsidence or collapse of TSFs. In addition, structural deficiencies, including inadequate slope design, substandard drainage systems, aging seepage controls or ineffective monitoring systems, can further heighten these risks by undermining TSFs’ bearing capacity and structural integrity. Tailings may contain hazardous substances, including heavy metals and other contaminants, which, if leaked, could cause significant damage to surrounding ecosystems. Unauthorized activities such as excavation and blasting, as well as improper handling or deposition of tailings, could further destabilize the TSFs.

In the event of any TSF failure, we may be subject to increased regulatory scrutiny and more stringent environmental, health and safety requirements. Regulatory developments and evolving industry standards, including the Global Industry Standard on Tailing Management (GISTM) established by the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), may result in increased operational costs and require modifications to our existing tailing management operations to ensure compliance with these heightened standards. There can be no assurance that additional and more stringent regulations or standards will not be introduced in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

The occurrence of any of the foregoing risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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.

The Company’s future growth and productivity will depend, in part, on its 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: establish mineral reserves through drilling and 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.

In addition, if the Company discovers a mineral deposit, it would 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.

The Company’s success at completing any acquisitions will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: identifying acquisitions that fit the Company’s 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 the Company will successfully acquire additional mineral rights.

52


​

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 amounts 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.

The Company has limited financial resources. If more of the Company’s 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, the Company’s ability to continue its exploration and development activities, if any, will depend in part on the Company’s ability to obtain suitable financing.

The Company intends to fund 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 the Company 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 cost is 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 (iii) 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 cost 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 the Company 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 the Company 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 the Company will be able to conclude any such agreements, on favourable terms or at all. The failure to obtain financing could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s growth strategy and results of operations and financial condition.

We incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we may not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, NYSE American and the TSX, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies. The SEC is currently reevaluating, and may increase, the disclosure requirements applicable to foreign private issuers. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. Our management will be required to devote substantial time and attention to our public company reporting obligations and other compliance matters. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules and regulations, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. Our reporting and other compliance obligations as a public company may place a strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future.

​

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 ore, or concentrate, by the Company. Marketability of natural resources which may be discovered by the Company will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, 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 the Company not receiving an adequate return on its capital.

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

We rely on third parties, including contract miners, to operate certain of our mines.

We primarily outsource our (i) drilling; (ii) mining and tunneling; and (iii) ore transportation within our mines and ore processing plants to third-party contractors according to our design and plan and the applicable production safety requirements.

As a result, our operations will be affected by the performance of these third-party contractors. Operational difficulties at these mines, increased competition for contract miners and other factors beyond our control could affect the availability, cost and quality of our operations. If these third parties fail to meet their obligations under those contracts or are otherwise ineffective, it could increase our costs and, therefore, lower our earnings and adversely affect our results of operations. Although we monitor the work of those third-party contractors to ensure that they are carried out on time, on budget and in accordance with our mine planning and specifications, we may not be able to control the quality, safety and environmental standards of the work conducted by those third-party contractors to the same extent as the work conducted by our own employees. In such event, we may become engaged in disputes with them, which could lead to additional expenses, distractions and potentially the loss of production time and additional costs, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

The Company’s exploring, mining, and processing operations depend on adequate infrastructure to support our mining assets. Road access, power sources, transport infrastructure and water supplies are essential for the conduct of these operations and the availability and cost 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.

54


​

We may not be able to maintain the provision of adequate and uninterrupted supplies of utilities at commercially acceptable prices, or at all.

Electricity and water are the main utilities used in our operations. Our mining and ore processing processes require an adequate and stable supply of electricity. No assurance can be given that we will not be subject to any power shortage, power shutdown or water shortfall in the future. In addition, changes in energy or water supply policies implemented by the Chinese government and any other overseas government where our mineral assets are located may affect the availability and cost of such utilities. Any interruption or insufficiency in the supply of electricity or water, or any adverse changes in applicable policies, could disrupt our production. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may therefore be adversely and materially affected. In addition, there can be no assurance that the supply of such utilities will not be interrupted or that their costs will not increase in the future. In the event that our existing suppliers cease to supply us with utilities at commercially acceptable prices or at all, our operations will be interrupted, and our financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

Developments in the labor market, increases in labor costs or any possible labor 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 increase our labor costs, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

No assurance can be given that there is no potential for unrest among our 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.

Our reputation in the communities in which we operate could deteriorate.

The continued success of our existing operations and our future projects are in part dependent upon the broad support of, and a healthy relationship with the local stakeholders and the respective local communities in which we operate, in addition to conducting operations in a manner that is not detrimental to the environment. If it is perceived that we are 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”, being the level of community acceptance of our exploration, development and mining activities.

The consequences of negative community reaction could therefore have a material adverse impact on the cost, profitability, ability to finance or even the viability of an operation. Such events could lead to disputes with national or local governments or with local communities or any other stakeholders and give rise to material reputational damage. 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 and labor plan could adversely impact upon our social license to operate and may result in the suspension and/or cancellation of our mining rights.

55


​

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 the 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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 adverse effect on the Company’s production, revenue, net income and business.

Failure to maintain appropriate inventory levels could cause us to lose sales or face excessive inventory risks and holding costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Demand for our products is dependent on numerous market and other factors, including metal price. Also see “– The prices of silver, lead, zinc, gold and other metals fluctuate widely, and a substantial or extended decline in prices could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition” above. We must maintain an appropriate level of materials and finished goods inventory to meet market demand. Our inventories mainly consist of concentrate inventories, direct smelting ore, stockpile ore and operating materials and supplies. We adjust our production schedule regularly based on anticipated changes in demand and our customers’ orders so as to maintain our inventory of raw materials at an appropriate level. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain an adequate inventory level of our products, which may cause us to lose sales and market share to our competitors. We may also be exposed to the risk of holding excessive inventory, which may increase our inventory holding costs and subject us to the risk of inventory obsolescence or write-offs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are subject to costs and risks related to mine closures.

Our existing mining operations have a finite life. Eventual closure of our operating mines will entail costs and risks regarding on-going, rehabilitation and compliance with environmental standards. Our operating mines include the Ying Project and the GC Mine. As stated in the most recent technical reports for the Ying Project and GC Mine, the life-of-mine for the Ying Project is through the fiscal year ended March 31, 2042 and for the GC Mine is through the fiscal year ended March 31, 2043. 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

56


​

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.

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. The Company’s success depends to a significant extent upon its ability to retain, attract and train key management personnel, in Canada, China, Ecuador and other jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business operations.

The Company depends 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 the Company’s operations.

The Company’s ability to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve management systems and to recruit and train new employees. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting and retaining skilled and experienced personnel.

Currency fluctuations may affect our results of operation and financial condition.

The Company reports its financial statements in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the head office, Canadian subsidiaries, Ecuadorian subsidiaries, and intermediate holding companies, is the U.S. dollar. The Company’s producing mines are all located in China and the functional currency of all Chinese subsidiaries is RMB. The functional currency of all Kyrgyz subsidiaries is the Kyrgyz som ("KGS"). The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when the Company undertakes transactions and holds assets and liabilities in currencies other than its functional currencies. The exchange rate of the RMB and KGS against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies fluctuates and is affected by, among other things, the policies of the Chinese and Kyrgyz government and changes in China, Kyrgyzstan, and international political and economic conditions, as well as supply and demand in the local market. There is no assurance that, under a certain exchange rate, we will have sufficient foreign exchange to meet our foreign exchange requirements. It is difficult to predict how market forces or government policies may impact the exchange rate between the RMB, KGS, and the Hong Kong dollar, the U.S. dollar, or other currencies in the future. Currently we do not have a foreign currency hedging policy. The fluctuation of the exchange rate between the reporting currency and its functional currencies may materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial position.

Our insurance may not provide adequate coverage in the event of a loss.

The Company’s mining activities are subject to the risks normally inherent in the industry, including but not limited, to environmental hazards, flooding, fire, periodic or seasonal hazardous climate and weather conditions, unexpected rock formations, industrial accidents and metallurgical and other processing problems. These risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties, production facilities or other properties; personal injury; environmental damage; delays in mining activities; increased production costs; monetary losses; and possible legal liability. The Company may become subject to liability that is not insurable or that we elect not to insure due to high premium costs or other reasons. Where considered practical to do so, the Company maintains insurance coverage against risks in the operation of its business in amounts which the Company believes to be reasonable. Such insurance, however, contains deductibles, exclusions and limitations on coverage. The Company cannot provide any assurance that such insurance coverage will continue to be available, be available at commercially acceptable terms or be adequate to fully cover any

57


​

resulting liability. In some cases, coverage is not available or considered too expensive relative to the perceived risk. Any uninsured or underinsured losses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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; labor 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 the outbreak of epidemics, pandemics, or other health crises.

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, operational delays, monetary losses and potential legal liability. Any such events could result in substantial cost and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future cash flow, results of operations and financial condition.

Our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest as a result of their relationships with other mining companies that are not affiliated with us.

Conflicts of interest may arise as a result of the directors and officers of the Company also holding positions as directors and/or officers of other companies, including New Pacific and Auro. Some of those persons who are directors and officers of the Company have and will continue to be engaged in the identification and evaluation of assets and businesses 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 the Company. Conflicts, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

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 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.

58


​

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 Company’s 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.

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 provide reasonable assurance 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.

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

Due to the nature of its business, the Company may be subject to numerous regulatory investigations, claims, lawsuits and other proceedings in the ordinary course of its business or inherited from acquired entities. 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 assurances that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

59


​

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 the reputation of the Company and may impact its 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 the Company and as a result, the diversion of such resources could materially affect the ability of the Company to conduct its operations in the normal course of business. Significant fees and expenses may be incurred by the Company in connection with the investigation and defense of litigation and regulatory proceedings. The Company 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 the Company’s future operating results. The Company may be able to recover certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with such matters from its insurer. However, there can be no assurance regarding when or if the insurer will reimburse the Company 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 which may result in a significant adverse impact on our financial condition, cash flow and results of operations.

With respect to Adventus, a group of plaintiffs commenced an action against a government agency of Ecuador concerning the environmental consultation process of the Company’s El Domo Project, seeking to void the environmental license of the project. The local court in Las Naves Canton, Bolivar Province, Ecuador rejected the claim and ruled the Ecuadorian government correctly discharged its environmental consultation obligation prior to issuing an environmental license for the project on July 24, 2024. The plaintiffs filed an appeal to the relevant provincial court, and the appeal was heard by the provincial court of Bolivar Province (the “Provincial Court”) on October 17, 2024. On November 12, 2024, the Provincial Court issued its decision and dismissed the appeal, 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 unanimously rejected the clarification motion.

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.

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.

You may not be able to enforce civil liabilities against us, our directors, executive officers or experts.

Investors in the United States or in other jurisdictions outside of Canada may have difficulty bringing actions and enforcing judgments against the Company, its directors, its executive officers and some of the experts named in this AIF based on civil liabilities provisions of the federal securities laws, other laws in the U.S. state(s) or under the equivalent laws of other jurisdictions of residence.

Our investment in New Pacific 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 of 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 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

61


​

properties. “Social licence” does not refer to a specific permit or licence, but rather is a broad and generic term used to describe community acceptance of a company’s plans and activities related to exploration, development or operations on its mineral projects. New Pacific intends to 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 cost 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.

Labor in Bolivia is customarily unionized and there are risks that labor 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.

We face risks associated with the Adventus Acquisition, 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. There can be no assurance that the Adventus Acquisition will bring benefits to us to the extent anticipated. We may not be able to successfully integrate Adventus into our existing business to achieve the expected synergies with our existing operations and to 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 Adventus Acquisition. Our failure to meet the challenges involved in realizing the anticipated benefits of the Adventus Acquisition could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our activities and could adversely affect our results of operations. The acquisition 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 related impairment charges or write-offs if the anticipated benefits of the acquisition fail to realize.

62


​

Adventus’ operations 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 to Adventus or, if they are issued, that they will be renewed in an appropriate or timely manner, or that Adventus will be in a position to comply with all conditions that are imposed.

Even if we achieve the expected benefits, they may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame. Also, the synergies from the Adventus Acquisition may be offset by costs incurred in the acquisition, losses of or disputes with key customers, suppliers, shareholders and employees of Adventus, increases in other expenses, operating losses, liabilities or problems in the business unrelated to our collaboration. As a result, there can be no assurance that these synergies will be achieved.

See “Risk Factors - – We may be subject to regulatory investigations, claims and legal proceedings that could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.”

Our investment in Auro Metals Inc. is subject to a number of risks and may prove unprofitable.

The Company is a strategic investor in Auro Metals, a Canadian public company listed on the TSX-V under the symbol “AURO”. As of March 31, 2026, the Company owned 20,738,698 common shares of Auro, representing a 29.15% interest in Auro.

Auro is a junior mining company currently in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties. Investments in junior mining companies involve volatile share prices, liquidity risk, and may result in possible loss of principal. Auro has no revenue from operations and no ongoing mining operations of any kind. If Auro is not able to raise the funds needed to continue its operations or meet its liabilities, if the results from its exploration activities are unsuccessful, or if Auro’s share price declines significantly for a prolonged period, the Company may have to record impairment charges against its investment.

Long-term operation of Auro’s business and its profitability are dependent, in part, on the cost and success of its exploration and future development programs. Mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and historically few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that Auro’s mineral exploration and future development programs will result in any discoveries, expansions of mineral resources or the definition of mineral reserves. There is also no assurance that, even if commercially viable quantities of mineral resources or mineral reserves are discovered, a mineral property will be brought into commercial production. Development of Auro’s mineral properties will only commence if it obtains satisfactory exploration results. Discovery of mineral deposits is dependent upon a number of factors, including the technical skill of the exploration geoscientists involved. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit is also dependent upon a number of factors including: the particular attributes of the deposit such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices; and government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. Most of these factors are beyond the control of Auro. Unsuccessful exploration or development programs could have a material adverse impact on Auro’s operations and profitability.

In addition, Auro’s mineral projects are subject to a number of risks that may make it less successful than anticipated, including, without limitation: (a) delays or higher than expected exploration costs; (b) negative technical results; (c) delays in receiving environmental permits and/or social license from indigenous groups; (d) delays in receiving permits;.

Auro’s operations are subject to government approvals, licences and permits. No guarantee can be given that the necessary government exploration and mining permits and licenses will be issued to Auro or, if they are issued, that they will be renewed in an appropriate or timely manner, or that Auro will be in a position to comply with all conditions that are imposed. The granting and enforcement of the terms of such approvals, licences and permits are, as a practical matter, subject to the discretion of the applicable

63


​

governments or governmental officials. To the extent such approvals, licenses or permits are required and not obtained, Auro may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing or proceeding with exploration or development of mineral properties.

Auro’s projects are located in Ecuador and Bolivia and, therefore, Auro’s current and future mineral exploration and mining activities are exposed to various levels of political economic, and other risks and uncertainties. Auro’s exploration activities may be affected by changes in government, political instability, and the nature of various government regulations relating to the mining industry.

Ecuador and Bolivia have historically been favourable to the mining industry, but there is a risk that this could change. Auro 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 Auro’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 Auro. 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 Auro’s operations.

Despite Auro’s best efforts, there are factors that may affect its 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 Auro 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 Auro’s projects to production, or maintain production. The cost 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 labor unrest or wage agreements may impact operations. Auro’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. Auro cannot predict the government’s positions on foreign investment, mining concessions, land tenure, environmental regulations, community relations, taxation or otherwise.

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

The Company is 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. The Company has not experienced any material cybersecurity incident in the past, but there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience such incidents in the future. If our systems are compromised, do not operate properly or are disabled, we could suffer

64


​

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.

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 cost and availability of financing and our overall liquidity;
●the volatility of silver, gold, lead, zinc 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 may adversely affect our operations and financial conditions.

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

The Company’s operations are exposed to fluctuations in the supply and price of crude oil. 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. 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 and capital costs and overall financial performance could be materially and adversely affected. Any sustained impact on diesel markets could impair the Company’s ability to meet its sales commitments, maintain profitability, or continue normal operations.

Risks Relating to Our China Operations and Doing Business in China

Our activities in China are subject to additional political, economic and other uncertainties not necessarily present for activities taking place in other jurisdictions.

The Company’s principal operations are located in China. These operations are subject to the risks normally associated with conducting business in China, which has different regulatory and legal standards than North America. Some of these risks are more prevalent in countries which have emerging economies, including risk of changes in laws or policies, increases in foreign taxation or royalty

65


​

obligations, license fees, permit fees, delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary governmental permits, limitations on ownership and repatriation of earnings, and foreign exchange controls and currency devaluations, all of which could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition.

In addition, the Company may face import and export regulations, including export restrictions, disadvantages of competing against companies from countries that are not subject to similar laws, restrictions on the ability to pay dividends offshore, and risk of loss due to disease and other potential endemic health issues. Although the Company is not currently experiencing any significant or extraordinary problems in China arising from such risks, there can be no assurance that such problems will not arise in the future. The Company currently does not carry political risk insurance coverage.

The Company’s interests in its mineral properties are held through legal entities incorporated under and governed by the laws of China. The non-controlling interest partners in China include state-sector entities and, like other state-sector entities, their actions and priorities may be dictated by government policies instead of purely commercial considerations, which could adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations. Under the FIL of the PRC, FIEs are generally subject to the same legal and regulatory framework as domestic enterprises in sectors outside the Negative List, in accordance with the principle of pre-establishment national treatment. Different rules or additional compliance obligations may apply to FIEs only in sectors included in the Negative List, or with respect to certain procedural requirements such as foreign investment information reporting and foreign exchange registration

The Chinese government currently allows foreign investment in certain mining projects under central government guidelines. There can be no assurance that these guidelines will not change in the future. Any further such changes may constrain the Company’s future expansion plans and adversely affect its profitability. See Item 4.3 Laws and Regulations Related to Mining and Foreign Investments in China.

The regulatory and legal environment in China may materially affect our results of operations and financial results, including in relation to our future equity, financings and share listing applications that may be required under the laws of China.

The Company’s principal operations are located in China and are subject to a range of Chinese laws, regulations, policies, standards and requirements in relation to, among other things, mine exploration, development, production, taxation, labor standards, occupational health and safety, waste treatment and environmental protection, and operation management. Any changes to these laws, regulations, policies, standards and requirements or to the interpretation or enforcement thereof may increase the Company’s operating costs and thus adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. The laws of China differ significantly from those of the United States and Canada and all such laws are subject to change.

Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in enforcement actions and may also include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws and regulations.

China’s legislation is undergoing a relatively fast transformation with some old laws superseded by newly enacted laws. New laws and regulations, amendments to existing laws and regulations, administrative interpretation of existing laws and regulations, or more stringent enforcement of existing laws and regulations could create risks or uncertainty for investors in mineral projects or have a material adverse impact on future cash flow, results of operations and the financial condition of the Company.

In December 2021, Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) announced the adoption of the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022 and pursuant to which network platform operators possessing personal information of more than one million individual users must undergo a cybersecurity review by the CAC when they seek a listing on a foreign exchange (the “Cybersecurity Review Measures”). The Cybersecurity Review Measures provide that critical information infrastructure operators purchasing network products and services and network platform operators carrying out data processing activities, which affect or may affect national security, shall apply for cybersecurity review to the applicable local cyberspace administration in accordance with the provisions thereunder. The Company and its subsidiaries in China do not carry out business in China through any self-owned network platform or hold personal information, and the Company currently is not subject to the cybersecurity review. However, it is uncertain if the Company will be required to apply for the cybersecurity review in the future. If the review is required, it is uncertain whether the Company can fully or timely comply with the Cybersecurity Review Measures and related regulations. Non-compliance could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

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.

In February 2023, China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) issued the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and listing by Domestic Companies and five interpretative guidelines (collectively, the “Overseas Listing Trial Measures”) which apply to overseas offerings and listings by domestic companies of equity securities, 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 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 the Chinese Mainland, or its main places of business are located in the Chinese Mainland, or the senior managers in charge of its business operation and management are mostly Chinese citizens or domiciled in the Chinese Mainland. 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 going private transactions, may be subject to the filing requirement with the CSRC. Failure to complete such filing

67


​

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 condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, on February 24, 2023, CSRC, Ministry of Finance; National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China issued the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (“Revised Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions”) which became effective on March 31, 2023. The Revised Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions require that in the overseas issuance and listing activities of domestic enterprises, the securities companies and securities service providers that undertake relevant businesses shall strictly abide by applicable laws and regulations of China and the Revised Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, enhance legal awareness of keeping state secrets and strengthening archives administration, institute a sound confidentiality and archives administration system, take necessary measures to fulfill confidentiality and archives administration obligations, and shall not leak any state secret and working secret of government agencies, or harm national security and public interest. Failure to comply with the Revised Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions may have negative impact on the Company’s financing activities as the CSRC may not accept our filing and may also expose management to legal liabilities in China.

In addition, China has further strengthened its national security review of foreign investment. The Measures (as defined below) will continue to create an additional layer of uncertainty with respect to foreign investment. Investment plans, timetables, terms and conditions for closing for investment must take into account the timing and contingency of obtaining approval from the national security review process. See Item 4.3 Laws and Regulations Related to Mining and Foreign Investments in China.

Although the Company seeks to comply with all new Chinese laws, regulations, policies, standards and requirements applicable to the mining industry or all changes in existing laws, regulations, policies, standards and requirements, the Company may not be able to comply with them economically or at all. Furthermore, any such new Chinese laws, regulations, policies, standards and requirements or any such change in existing laws, regulations, policies, standards and requirements may also constrain the Company’s future expansion plans and adversely affect its profitability.

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 meet the applicable turnover-based statutory filing thresholds 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

68


​

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.

The permits and licenses required for our mining and exploration operations in China may not be granted or renewed.

All mineral resources and mineral reserves of the Company’s subsidiaries are owned by legal entities incorporated under and governed by their respective jurisdictions. 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, licenses, and certificates related to our mining activities in accordance with the relevant mining laws and regulations. Under 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 rights, 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 rights, 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.

69


​

The Company has completed the mining permits extension and mining capacity expansion for the four mining permits of the Ying Mining District, which are the SGX, TLP-LM, HPG, and DCG mining permits. Following the grants of the new mining permits, the company is working on the renewal of the production safety licenses: For SGX, the safety facility design has been approved, and it is currently in the construction phase; For TLP, the safety facility design has been submitted to the emergency management department of Henan Province for approval; For HPG, the safety facility design has been reviewed by the emergency management department, pending final signature; and for DCG, the safety facility design has been completed and submitted to the emergency management department for approval.

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. See Item 4.3 Laws and Regulations Related to Mining and Foreign Investments in China.

We are subject to environmental and health and safety laws, regulations 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, including environmental laws and regulations in China and in other 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. In China, these permits are also subject to annual inspection by government authorities. Failure to pass the annual inspections may result in penalties, suspensions or revocations. There is no assurance that these requisite 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 the Company’s business and results of operations.

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. Environmental legislation in many countries, including China, is evolving and the trend has been toward stricter 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

70


​

on behalf of the Company and may cause material changes or delays in the Company’s intended activities. There can be no assurance that the Company has 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 the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining companies or more stringent implementation thereof could have a material adverse impact on the Company 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 the Company’s business, causing the Company to re-evaluate those activities at that time. The Company’s compliance with environmental laws and regulations entails uncertain costs.

The enforcement of the labor contract laws, social insurance law, and other labor related regulations in China 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, 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 Chinese Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules may limit our ability to effect those changes in a desirable or cost-effective manner, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

According to the Social Insurance Law of China, employees shall participate in pension insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance and the employers shall, together with their employees or separately, pay the social insurance premiums for such employees. We as employers are required to make contributions to social insurance funds including these insurances in accordance with applicable Chinese laws and regulations. According to the Regulation on the Administration of Housing Provident Funds, which was promulgated by the State Council and became effective on April 3, 1999 and amended on March 24, 2019, we are required to set up housing provident fund accounts and pay the housing provident fund on time and in full for our employees. According to the Chinese Social Insurance Law, which was promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on October 28, 2010 and became effective on July 1, 2011, and amended on December 29, 2018, a Chinese enterprise is required to obtain social insurance certificates for its employees and to pay the social insurance contributions on time and in full.

In the event of any non-compliance with social insurance and housing provident fund contribution, the relevant competent authorities may order us to pay the outstanding amount within a certain period of time. If we fail to comply, the relevant competent authorities may apply to the people’s court for enforcement. In the event of any non-compliance with social insurance contribution, the relevant competent authorities may order us to pay the outstanding amount within a certain period of time and impose an overdue fee amounting to 0.05% of the outstanding amount per day. If we fail to comply, the relevant competent authorities may further impose a fine amounting to no less than one time but less than three times the outstanding amount.

As the interpretation and implementation of the Chinese Labor Contract Law, the Chinese Social Insurance Law, the Regulation on the Administration of Housing Provident Funds and other labor-related regulations (the “labor-related laws and regulations”) are still evolving, no assurance can be given that our employment practice do not and will not violate labor-related laws and regulations in China, which may subject us to labor disputes or government investigations. If we are deemed to have violated relevant labor-related laws and regulations, we could be required to provide additional compensation to our employees and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

71


​

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.

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. This tax treatment of HNTEs in China is designed to foster innovation and technological advancement. Henan Found and Guangdong Found have been classified as HNTEs now in their second third-year terms to enjoy a reduced corporate income tax rate of 15%. 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.

In addition, the tax incentives for HNTEs are subject to changes in government policies and regulations. No assurance can be given that the reduced corporate tax rate treatment for HNTEs under Chinese laws will not change or be discontinued in the future. The reduction or elimination of the tax incentive may increase our income tax expense and materially reduce our net income.

Risks Related to Ecuador and the El Domo Project

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.

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 Assembly was dissolved, and elections were held. A new National Assembly was elected and Daniel Noboa, from the National Democratic Action (“ADN") party,

72


​

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.

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.

Our operations in Ecuador are subject to laws and regulations which may change.

Exploration, development, extraction and production operations in Ecuador are affected in 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, labor 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 commencing work. These factors may affect both the ability of the Company to undertake exploration and development activities in respect of current and future properties in the manner contemplated, as well as its ability to continue

73


​

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. Any shifts in political attitudes or changes in laws that may result in, among other things, significant changes to mining laws or any other laws, regulations or policies are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. The Company also 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.

Our operations are subject to ongoing permitting, licensing and regulatory timing risks, including the potential revocations of licenses and permits.

Various permits and licenses granted by the Government of Ecuador are required for the Company to conduct business and advance its portfolio of projects in Ecuador. In particular, the Company is focused on the advancement of the El Domo Project to the construction and operations phase, which requires the official approval of various permits. In January 2024, the environmental license was issued and on August 2, 2024, the Ministry of Energy and Mines issued an approval for the project to pass into the exploitation stage. The mining concession “Las Naves” where the project is located expires in March 2033 but is potentially renewable. However, the August 2, 2024 license approval only permits a renewal if new discoveries are made, and there is no assurance that a renewal will be granted. Work is ongoing to advance the remaining permits required to start construction. Any delays in obtaining the requisite approvals will risk the planned timeline and execution of the project and operations, which would adversely impact investment economics and economic development. Permits or licenses that are granted may also be opposed or the subject of challenge by stakeholders including NGOs or surrounding communities which may lead to construction or operational delays at the project. See “Risk Factors - Anti-mining sentiment could adversely impact our operations” below. At the beginning of 2024, due to issues regarding the definition of the “Prior Consultation” and a ruling in the Constitutional Court, the indigenous sector and communities have been making statements of alert and monitoring of the consultation process and statements regarding public rejection of the advancement of mining in their territories. Constitutional protection actions are normally filed by those opposed to mining activities on the basis of environmental damage and/or the lack of proper consultation with affected communities (including in regard to consultations conducted by the Ministry of Environment as part of the environmental licensing process). Since 2018, constitutional courts have more frequently been ruling in favour of revoking environmental licenses on the basis of potential environmental damage or failure to conduct proper consultations and have accepted referendum requests to oppose mining activity. In July 2024, during the Adventus Acquisition, a group of plaintiffs commenced an action against a government agency of Ecuador concerning the environmental consultation process of the El Domo Project, seeking to void the environmental license of the project. The local court in Las Naves Canton, Bolivar Province, Ecuador rejected the claim and ruled the Ecuadorian government correctly discharged its environmental consultation obligation prior to issuing an environmental license for the project on July 24, 2024. The plaintiffs filed an appeal to the Provincial Court on October 17, 2024. On November 12, 2024, the Provincial Court issued its decision and dismissed the appeal on the basis that the plaintiffs had not demonstrated a violation of any fundamental constitutional rights and held that the environmental license process and related consultations complied with legal standards. 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. As of March 31, 2025, the Constitutional Court has not ruled on the clarification motion. Even if the Court issues a clarification order, it will not change the substance of the original inadmissibility decision or reverse it. 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. The El Domo Project is the subject

​

of a change of phase approval granted on August 2, 2024 and an Investment Contract with the Government of Ecuador in support of the development of the project. Expropriation, a change of government, or the lack of receipt of requisite permits in a timely manner, could result in a significant amount of time, resources and funds being expended, without any assurance of funds being recovered, which could have a material adverse effect on the El Domo Project.

Although the Company has investigated its title and rights to explore its mineral properties and believes that it has received government records for its mineral claims, licenses and other rights, and fulfilled all obligations for expenditures, payment of concession patent fees and reporting, there is no guarantee of title which may be subject to prior unregistered liens (including royalty interests), agreements, transfers or claims and the Company’s rights may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects in title.

Anti-mining sentiment and our inability to maintain positive relationships with the surrounding communities in which we operate could adversely impact our operations.

The Company’s relationship with the communities near which it operates and with other stakeholders is 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 Project, are located near groups that have been historically opposed to mining activities from time to time in the past, which may affect the Company’s operation 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 non-governmental organizations (“NGOs”) and indigenous group activities in Ecuador have increased. These communities, NGOs and indigenous groups have taken such actions as civil unrest, road closures and work stoppages around the country and legal challenges. Such actions may have a material adverse effect on our 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.

Recent anti-mining sentiment in Ecuador has resulted in protests at certain mining projects and multiple mining projects being paralyzed due to opposition and legal action. The Ecuadorian provinces of Pichincha, Cotopaxi, Bolivar (where the El Domo Project is located) and Azuay are the four provinces that have turned out the most protestors and generally have the highest anti-mining sentiment in Ecuador. Pichincha is located to the north where referendum results in 2023 halted illegal mining activity at the Chocó Andino UNESCO site near Quito where there is no activity from the formal sector. The Azuay province is located in the southern region of the country and has a historical anti-mining posture. The Province of Bolivar is an area with high anti-mining sentiment and any opposition to the Company’s plans to develop and commence construction would lead to delays, diversion of the Company’s resources, including the time and attention of management, and increased costs, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to operate the El Domo Project.

We face various social, safety and security risks that may affect safety at our El Domo Project.

Due to the economic challenges in recent years, as well as the increasing presence of organized criminal activities related to drug cartels, Ecuador has faced a number of political and social incidents that have disrupted normal business and social activities nationally. These incidents have posed serious social and security challenges for the government at different levels. In response, increased safety

75


​

and security protocols have been implemented in project work areas as well as in cities where personnel and contractors operate. The El Domo Project located in the Province of Bolivar is particularly controversial and has had historic conflict with certain local groups stemming from local anti-mining ideology and overall poverty and challenging socio-economic issues. The Company is exposed to various levels of safety and security risks which could result in injury or death, theft, sabotage or damage to property, work stoppages, or blockades of its mining operations. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, hostage taking and gang activities. Opposition to mining could arise and such opposition may be violent. Resistance or unrest in certain areas of Ecuador could have a material adverse effect on our operations and profitability.

Mining by illegal and artisanal miners often occurs on mineral concessions in Ecuador. While the Company and the Government of Ecuador try to monitor this activity, the operations of artisanal and illegal miners could interfere with the Company’s activities and could result in conflicts. Under Ecuadorian law, the mining concessionaire is obliged to file a report regarding any illegal mining activities occurring within its mining concession area and can insist that the mining authorities take enforcement actions upon the lodging of such reports. The mining concessionaire may also commence an action in the criminal courts with the district judge. Potential artisanal mining activities can cause damage to mineral projects including pollution, environmental damage or personal injury or death, for which companies could potentially be held responsible. The presence of artisanal and illegal miners can lead to project delays, disputes, mine stoppages, environmental issues and could, if they occur, have a material adverse effect on the results of operations at the El Domo Project.

Risks associated with construction and start-up of operations at the El Domo Project.

The development of the El Domo Project requires the construction of significant new mining and processing facilities. The success of construction projects, plant expansions and the start-up of a new mine by the Company is subject to a number of risks and challenges including the availability and performance of engineering and construction contractors, suppliers and consultants, unforeseen geological formations, the implementation of new mining processes, the receipt of required governmental approvals and permits, including environmental and operating permits, potential price escalation on components of construction and start-up, engineering and mine design adjustments, the underlying characteristics, quality and unpredictability of the exact nature of mineralogy of a deposit and the consequent accurate understanding of ore or concentrate production, the successful completion and operation of haulage ramp and conveyors to move ore and other operational elements. Any delay in the performance of any one or more of the contractors, suppliers, consultants or other persons on which the Company is dependent in connection with its construction activities, a delay in or failure to receive requisite materials, supplies, equipment or the required governmental approvals and permits in a timely manner or on reasonable terms, or failure to optimize performance of operational elements could delay or prevent the successful construction and start-up of the El Domo Project as planned and may result in additional costs being incurred by the Company beyond those budgeted. There can be no assurance that current or future construction and start-up plans implemented by the Company will be successful.

Measures to Protect Endangered Species and Critical Habitats.

Ecuador is a country with a diverse and fragile ecosystem and the federal government, regional governments, indigenous groups and NGOs are vigilant in their protection of endangered species and critical habitats. The existence or discovery of endangered species or critical habitats at the El Domo Project could have a number of adverse consequences to the Company’s plans and operations, such as temporary delays in construction activities. The existence or discovery of an endangered species or critical habitat at the El Domo Project could also result in negative social media for the project, which would pose further challenges to project development and could impact the Company’s reputation.

76


​

Inability to maintain positive relationships with joint venture or strategic alliance partners could have a material adverse effect.

The Adventus properties in Ecuador, including the 75% owned El Domo Project, are held with Salazar Resources Ltd. (25% owner). The financial health, performance, and good standing of any third-party company whom the Company is financially, operationally or economically cooperating with may adversely impact the Company’s ability to execute on its published plans. While the Company has a good working relationship with Salazar Resources Ltd., there is no guarantee that this will continue or that disagreements or disputes will not arise in future, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to execute, operate and manage intended plans at the El Domo Project.

Risks Related to Kyrgyzstan and the Chaarat ZAAV Project

We face risks associated with our acquisition of Chaarat ZAAV, and failure to successfully integrate its operations could adversely affect our post-acquisition performance and business aspects.

Our acquisition of ZAAV was completed in January 2026. Currently, we are in the process of integrating ZAAV into our existing enterprise structure. There can be no assurance that the acquisition will bring benefits to us to the extent anticipated or that we will successfully integrate ZAAV into our existing business to achieve the expected synergies with our existing operations and fulfill the acquisition’s purposes. These synergies are inherently uncertain and 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 all the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of ZAAV. Our failure to meet the challenges involved in realizing the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of ZAAV could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our activities and could adversely affect our results of operations. The acquisition and integration of ZAAV may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses and diversion of management’s attention, and we may record impairment charges.

Through the acquisition of ZAAV and under the related agreements, we held a 70% interest of the ZAAV Project, located in the Tien Shan area of the Kyrgyz Republic. Operations at the ZAAV Project require government approvals, licences and permits. The Chaarat ZAAV Project was covered by one mining licence and one exploration licence. However, there is no assurance that the existing licences will not be revoked or cancelled in the future. Loss of the licences or failure to extend the licences will materially and adversely affect our operations at the Chaarat ZAAV Project and our overall business and financial condition.

Even if the synergies are achieved, they may not materialize within the anticipated time frame and could be offset by acquisition costs, losses of key customers and/or suppliers, employee disputes, changes in local government policies, expense increases, operating losses, or other business issues. As a result, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will prove commercially viable.

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

Part of the Chaarat 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 historically 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.

77


​

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 on 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 ZAAV 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 US$10,000,000 payment to the State, and (2) any project delays caused by the UNESCO Issue expressly exempt the Company from penalties (license term reductions) related to its US$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 the Company 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 operations.

ITEM 5MINERAL PROPERTIES

The Company has interests in mineral properties located in China, Ecuador, and Kyrgyz Republic. As of March 31, 2026, these properties were carried on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position as assets with a book value of approximately $779.7 million. The book value consists of acquisition costs plus cumulative expenditures on properties, net of amortization and impairment charges for which the Company has future development plans.

For the purposes of NI 43-101, the following properties have been determined to be material to the Company as of March 31, 2026: (a) the Ying Mining District, Henan Province, China; (b) the GC Mine located in Guangdong Province, China; (c) the Curipamba-El Domo Project located in the provinces of Bolivar and Los Rios, Ecuador; (d) the Condor project, located in the Zamora-Chinchipe province, Ecuador; and (e) the Chaarat ZAAV Project, located in the Tien Shan belt of northwestern Kyrgyzstan.

Except as otherwise disclosed, Guoliang Ma, P. Geo., Manager of Exploration and Resource of the Company, is the Qualified Person for Silvercorp under NI 43-101 who has reviewed and given consent to the scientific and technical information contained in this AIF.

The eleven authors of the Technical Report are independent Qualified Persons (QPs). Six of the authors have visited the Ying Property. The latest visit, by AMC QPs Mr. HA. Smith, Mr. RJ. Chesher, and Mr. JE. Glanvill, was in May 2026. The immediately preceding visit by AMC QPs Mr. HA. Smith, Mr. S. Robinson, Mr. RJ. Chesher, and Mr. D Claffey, was in February 2024. The latest visit by AMC QP Dr. GK. Vartell was in July 2016. During the site visits, aspects of the project have been examined by the QPs, including drill core, exploration sites, underground workings, processing plant, laboratory, tailings management facilities, and other surface infrastructure.

Portions of the following information are based on the assumptions, qualifications and procedures described in the Ying 2026 Technical Report, which are not fully described herein. The full text of the Ying 2026 Technical Report which is available for review on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or on EDGAR at www.sec.gov is incorporated by reference in this AIF.

The information regarding the Ying Property set forth in the Technical Report and herein is presented on a 100% property basis. Silvercorp’s indirect ownership of the relevant mines is 77.5% in the SGX, HZG, TLP, LMW and DCG mines, and 80% in the HPG and LME mines.

The Ying Project is about 240 kilometres (km) west-southwest of Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan Province, and 145 km south-west of Luoyang, which is the nearest major city. The city of Luoning is about 56 km by paved roads from Silvercorp’s Ying mill site. The KP Project is 34 km south-east of Sanmenxia City, Henan Province and 30 km north of the Ying Mill Complex. The Project areas have good road access and operate year-round. The area has a continental sub-tropical climate with four distinct seasons. Silver-lead-zinc mineralization in the Ying Project area has been known and intermittently mined for several hundred years. Silvercorp acquired an interest in the SGX project in 2004, the HPG project in 2006, the TLP / LMW / LME projects in late 2007, and the KP Project in late 2021. Mining and processing output has risen in recent years, with production close to 650,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) from FY2021 through FY2022, 773,000 tpa in FY2023, 827,000 tpa in FY2024, and just over 1,000,000 tpa in FY2025. The QP notes that the Silvercorp fiscal year (FY) begins in April, thus FY2025 runs from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

Geology, exploration, and Mineral Resources

The Ying Property is situated in the 300 km-long west-northwest trending Qinling orogenic belt, a major structural belt formed by the collision of two large continental tectonic plates in Paleozoic time. Rocks along the orogenic belt are severely folded and faulted, offering optimal structural conditions for the emplacement of mineral deposits. Several operating silver-lead-zinc mines, including those in the Property, occur along this belt. The dominant structures in the region are west-northwest trending folds and faults, the faults comprising numerous thrusts with sets of conjugate shear structures trending either north-west or north-east. These shear zones are associated with all the important mineralization in the district. Mineralization predominantly comprises numerous, silver-lead-zinc-rich, quartz-carbonate veins in steeply dipping, fault-fissure zones which cut Precambrian gneiss and greenstone. The veins thin and thicken abruptly along the structures in classic “pinch-and-swell” fashion with widths varying from a few centimetres up to a few metres. The fault-fissure zones extend for hundreds to a few thousand metres along strike. To date, significant mineralization has been defined or developed in at least 591 discrete vein structures, and many other smaller veins have been found but not yet well explored. Included in the number of veins are 38 gold -rich veins which have been a recent exploration target for Silvercorp. The vein systems of the various mine areas in the district are generally similar in mineralogy, with slight differences between some of the separate mine areas and between the different vein systems within each area.

On the Ying Project, from January 2004 to December 2025, a total of 2,851,119 metres (m) in 14,463 holes were drilled from surface and underground locations. Since the last technical report (from 1 January 2024 to 30 October 2025), Silvercorp drilled 3,293 underground holes and 377 surface holes, for a total of 459,231 m. A portion of the deposits have been mined out. Most drill core is NQ-sized (48 millimetres (mm)). Drill core recoveries range from 63.33% to 100% and average 98.72%.

On the KP Project, from 2012 to December 2022, a total of 19,780 m in 87 holes was drilled from surface locations. The drilling procedures prior to Silvercorp’s ownership are not known. The KP Project constitutes 0.6% of the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource tonnes, thus this is not a material risk to the Ying Property. For drilling conducted by Silvercorp in 2022, most drill core is NQ-sized (48 mm) and drill procedures are the same as the Ying Project. Drill core recoveries range between 63.64% and 100%, with average recovery being 98.72%.

Other than drilling, the Ying Project mines have been explored primarily from underground workings. The workings follow vein structures along strike, on levels spaced approximately 30 to 50 m apart. Channel samples across the structures are collected at 5 m intervals. From 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2025, Silvercorp undertook 136,034 m of tunnelling, and collected 89,501 channel samples. This brings the total number of metres of tunnelling completed on the Property by Silvercorp to 934,031 m with 394,877 channel samples collected. A portion of the deposits have been mined out.

Silvercorp has implemented industry standard practices for sample preparation, security, and analysis. All core and channel sampling are completed by Silvercorp personnel. Samples from NQ drill cores are collected following detailed geological logging at secure core processing facilities located at each mine site. Samples are prepared by cutting the core in half with a diamond saw. One half of the core is marked with sample number and sample boundary and then returned to the core box for archival storage. The other half is placed in a labelled cotton cloth bag with sample number marked on the bag. Bagged and sealed half core drillhole samples are transported by Silvercorp personnel or courier to one of eight commercial laboratories. Channel sampling is completed by cutting channels into walls or backs of tunnels and crosscuts and collecting composite chip samples. Channel samples are transported by Silvercorp personnel to the Ying site laboratory at the mill complex in Luoning County.

The sample preparation procedures used at the various laboratories (nine used since January 2020, eight in 2025), incorporate sample drying to between 60°Celsius (C) and 105°C, crushing to at least 3 mm, subsampling via splitter or mat and scoop, and then pulverizing to 74 micron (µm). Analytical procedures for Ag, Pb, and Zn typically include a two or four acid digest of between 0.1 gram (g) and 1 g

80


​

pulp followed by AAS or ICP with either mass spectroscopy or optical emission spectrometry as the finishes. Fire assay (10 g to 30 g) is used for gold analysis, and silver over-range analysis.

Silvercorp has established Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures which monitor accuracy, precision and sample contamination during sampling, preparation, and analytical processes through the inclusion of Certified Reference Materials (CRM), coarse blanks, and field duplicates with sample batches. Umpire sampling has been completed by several independent laboratories. Insertion rates for the various types were between 0.4% and 2.9%.

Silvercorp’s present protocols employed at the Ying Project do not encompass all aspects of a comprehensive QA/QC program and have relatively low rates of insertion by comparison with international peers. Despite these issues, a review by the QP shows that there are no material accuracy, precision, or systematic contamination errors within the Ying sample database. The QP considers the Ying sample database to be acceptable for Mineral Resource estimation.

At the KP Project, from 2008 to 2011 surface drilling of 11,390.52 m was conducted but no records of laboratory protocols or QA/QC were maintained for sampling prior to 2022. In 2022, 32 diamond drillholes were completed by Silvercorp for 8,389.31 m that included 1,913 samples, 27 CRMs, 27 duplicates, and 82 umpire samples. The lab used in the 2022 drilling was the SGS Tianjian laboratory, which used four-acid digest, with fire assay for Au, and multi-elements by ICP-OES. The QP considers the QA/QC recorded for KP to be insufficient to meet expected standards. The QP recommends all drilling and sampling at KP is upgraded to meet as a minimum the QA/QC protocols applied at the Ying Project. All records of QA/QC submissions and treatment should be maintained. The KP Project constitutes 0.6% of the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource tonnes thus the substandard QA/QC is not considered a material risk to the Ying Property.

Data verification was completed by the QPs and, while some minor issues were found, the QPs do not consider the issues noted to have a material impact on Mineral Resource estimates. The QPs consider the data to be acceptable for Mineral Resource estimation.

The Mineral Resource estimates for the SGX, HZG, HPG, TLP, LME, LMW, DCG, and KP deposits at the Ying Property were prepared by AMC employees. Grade estimation was completed for 591 veins using a block modelling approach using the inverse distance squared (ID2) interpolation method in Datamine or Vulcan software. Grade estimates were completed for Ag, Pb, Cu in all deposits, Zn in selected deposits, and Au within selected veins at selected deposits.

Independent AMC QPs estimated, or supervised the estimates, and take responsibility for the Mineral Resource estimates at the Ying Property.

The interpretation and construction of mineralization wireframes was completed by Silvercorp personnel using Micromine software by either digitizing strings in cross-section and then linking strings to create three-dimensional (3D) wireframes, or by creating separate 3D surfaces for hangingwall (HW) and footwall (FW) vein contacts and then creating solid 3D wireframes from those surfaces. Mineralization interpretations were constructed primarily from vein contacts recorded in drill core and underground mapping and then modified based on silver, lead, zinc, and where relevant, gold and copper grades.

Mineralized veins at the SGX, HZG, TLP, LME mines, and Ag-Pb-Zn veins at LMW mines were modelled using a nominal threshold of 65 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq). Mineralized veins at the DCG and KP mines were modelled using a nominal threshold of 80 g/t AgEq. Mineralized veins at the HPG mine and the veins with significant Au at the LMW mines were modelled using a nominal threshold of 0.85 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq). Modelling cut-off grades (COGs) were driven by mine specific controls.

Mineralization interpretations were reviewed by the relevant QPs. Wireframes were modified by the QPs as required.

A composite interval of 0.4 m was selected for all mines based on the predominant sample length. Appropriate top capping was applied based on a review of each vein.

​

The Mineral Resources include material (approximately 21% of total Mineral Resources by AgEq metal and 24% of the total Mineral Resources by tonnes) below the lower elevation limit of Silvercorp’s current mining licenses. The renewal of mining licenses and extension of mining depth and boundaries occur in the ordinary course of business as long as Mineral Resources exist, are defined, the required documentation is submitted, and the applicable government resources taxes and fees are paid. Therefore, the QPs for the Mineral Resource estimation are satisfied that there is minimal material risk associated with the granting of approval to Silvercorp to extend the lower depth limit of its licenses and to develop these Mineral Resources as and when required.

Mineral Resources by mine for the Property as of December 31, 2025 are presented in Table 1.1. Mineral Resources are reported above a COG based on in situ values in AgEq terms or AuEq terms. COGs incorporate mining, processing, and general and administration (G&A) costs were provided by Silvercorp for each mine and reviewed by the QP for Mineral Reserves. The AgEq and AuEq formulas and COG applied to each mine are noted in the footnotes of Table 1.1.

Copper was added to the 2025 Mineral Resource as it has been demonstrated to be a recoverable byproduct.

Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources will be converted to Mineral Reserves.

Comparison of Mineral Resources, June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2025

A comparison of Mineral Resource estimates between June 30, 2024 (2024 Q2) and December 31, 2025 (2025 Q4) indicates the following:

•Measured and Indicated tonnes have increased by 90% overall. The Inferred tonnes have increased by 54%.
•Measured and Indicated grades have decreased for gold and silver by 15% and 28%, respectively. Measured and Indicated grades have decreased for lead by 27% and zinc by 22%.
•Inferred grades decreased for gold, silver, lead, and zinc by 42%, 36%, 38%, and 9%, respectively.
•The net result in the Measured and Indicated categories has been an increase in the contained gold and silver metal of 62% and 37% respectively. Contained Measured and Indicated lead metal and zinc metal have increased by 39% and 48% respectively.
•The net result in the Inferred category has been a decrease in the contained gold metal, silver metal, and lead metal of 10%, 1%, and 4% respectively. Inferred zinc metal has increased by 40%.

The reasons for the differences in grade, tonnes, and contained metal include changes made to vein interpretations for the 2025 Q4 model, conversion to higher categories arising from drilling and level development, application of different COGs and depletion due to mining. The QPs note that metal prices have increased by 78% for Au, 67% for Ag, 3% for Pb, and 36% for Zn. This has resulted in a reduction in COGs for all deposits.

84


​

In the case of gold, the QPs note that gold was only estimated for 113 of the total 591 veins (69 veins at HPG, six veins at KP, and 38 selected veins from SGX, LME, LMW, and DCG. The notable 62% increase in the Measured plus Indicated gold metal in the 2025 Q4 model is due to the discovery of an additional 20 gold veins since the 2024 Q2 model.

Copper has not been included in previous Mineral Resource estimates at the Ying Property. Copper is included in the current Mineral Resource. The KP deposit has been included in the current Ying Property Mineral Resource for the first time.

Mining and Mineral Reserves

The Mineral Reserve estimates for the Property were prepared by Silvercorp under the guidance of independent QP Mr. HA. Smith, P.Eng., who takes responsibility for those estimates. Table 1.2 summarizes the Mineral Reserve estimates for each mine and for the entire Ying operation. 55% of the Mineral Reserve tonnage is categorized as Proven and 45% is categorized as Probable.

To convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves, mining COGs have been applied, mining dilution has been added, and mining recovery factors assessed on an individual vein mining block basis. Only Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources have been used for Mineral Reserves estimation.

Ying average Mineral Reserve grades for gold, silver, lead and zinc are 76%, 88%, 98%, and 163%, respectively, of the reported grades for the operating period from FY2023Q4 through end-FY2025. This is consistent with utilization of a lower COG and production generally moving to deeper mine areas.

86


​

In terms of Ying Mineral Reserve AgEq metal content, SGX remains the main contributor at 47%, followed by TLP at 16%, LME and LMW each at 12%, HPG at 6%, HZG at 5%, and DCG and KP each at 1%.

A continued focus on best mining practices and minimizing dilution will be key to achieving Mineral Reserve grades over the Ying life-of-mine (LOM).

The Mineral Reserve estimation assumes that current stoping practices will continue to be predominant at the Ying property, namely cut and fill resuing and shrinkage stoping for most veins, using hand-held drills (jacklegs) and hand-mucking within stopes, and loading to mine cars by rocker-shovel or by hand. The QP also recognizes the increased use of more mechanized mining techniques at the Ying operations. The typically sub-vertical veins, generally competent ground, reasonably regular vein width, and generally hand-mining techniques using short rounds, allow a significant degree of selectivity and control in the stoping process. Minimum mining widths of 0.5 m for resuing and 1.0 m for shrinkage are assumed. The QP has observed the resuing and shrinkage mining methods at the Ying property on several occasions and considers the minimum extraction and mining width assumptions to be reasonable. Minimum dilution assumptions are 0.10 m of total overbreak for a resuing cut and 0.2 m of total overbreak for a shrinkage stope. Average Ying dilution projections for resuing and shrinkage are 17% and 20%, respectively.

The QP notes that, for a small number of veins with relatively low-angle dip – generally veins with significant gold content – room and pillar stoping with slushers is now being used at the Property. Longhole stoping has also been recently employed in some areas of the LMW mine.

For longhole mining at LMW, 20% dilution has been assumed. For room and pillar mining at LMW, LME, and KP, a minimum mining width of 1.2 m or vein width + 0.2 m where vein width is greater than 1.0 m has been assumed, with average dilution approximately 31%, 27%, and 62%, respectively.

Of the total tonnage estimated as Ying Mineral Reserves, approximately 64% is associated with resuing, 32% with shrinkage, 3% with room and pillar, and 1% with longhole.

As with previous Technical Reports, the sensitivity of the Ying Mineral Reserves to variation in COG has been tested by applying a 20% increase in COG to Mineral Reserves at each of the Ying mines. The lowest sensitivity, at 9% reduction in AgEq ounces, continues to be seen at SGX. For the entire Ying Mining District, an approximate 16% reduction in AgEq ounces for a 20% COG increase demonstrates moderate overall COG sensitivity.

Total Ying Mineral Reserve tonnes are approximately 45% of Mineral Resource (Measured plus Indicated) tonnes. Gold, silver, lead, zinc, and copper Mineral Reserve grades are 103%, 119%, 110%, 119%, and 50%, respectively, of the corresponding Measured plus Indicated Mineral Resource grades. Metal conversion percentages for gold, silver, lead, zinc, and copper are 46%, 54%, 50%, 53%, and 24%, respectively.

With respect to the difference in tonnes and metal content between (Measured plus Indicated) Mineral Resources and (Proven plus Probable) Mineral Reserves, the QP notes that the Mineral Resources have not had modifying factors applied that would allow consideration of conversion to Mineral Reserves.

Underground access to each of the mines in the steeply sloped, mountainous district is via adits at various elevations, inclined rail haulageways, shaft / internal shafts (winzes), and declines (ramps). The mines are developed using trackless equipment, with single-boom jumbos, 1 m3 scoops, and 5 t, 15 t, and 30 t payload trucks. Small, conventional tracked equipment – electric / diesel locomotives, rail cars, electric rocker shovels and load haul ramp trucks – and pneumatic hand-held drills, have been predominant in

87


​

operations to date, but with an increased use of trackless equipment now in some mine areas and a focus on more mechanized mining will be a key part of future mine planning.

The global extraction sequence is top-down between levels, and generally outwards from the central shaft or main access location. The stope extraction sequence is bottom-up, with shrinkage and resuing being the main mining methods, and using jacklegs. In some flatter-lying veins, room and pillar mining is now employed. A trial production for uppers longhole stoping has also been undertaken recently, with further longhole initiatives planned.

Recent initiatives at the Ying operations have resulted in a +20% increase in annual production in the last two years, with additional mine expansion activities also underway. In the future, the Ying operation plans to develop deeper mining zones within each mining area, as part of an aim to further enhance overall production rates.

​

The QP makes the following observations relative to the data in Table 1.3:

•Overall, the mine produced 3% more tonnes from Mineral Reserves at gold, silver, lead and zinc grades that were, respectively, 6%, 2%, 4%, and 30% lower than reserve grades. Contained gold, silver, lead, and zinc metal values were, respectively, 3% lower, 1% higher, 1% lower, and 28% lower relative to Mineral Reserve estimates.
•The slightly lower mined grades for Au, Ag, and Pb suggest that, overall, dilution control has not suffered significantly in the recent move towards increased production, but with some greater fluctuation seen on an individual mine basis.
•The particularly low zinc grade and metal recovered vs reserves may be attributed, to some extent, to processing recovery uncertainty affecting reconciled values, and to an expected greater processing focus on the higher value metals. The QP notes that zinc contributes only about 4% to Ying revenue in the LOM plan.
•General factors that may contribute to results variability include:
•Over- and / or under-estimation of Mineral Resource / Reserve tonnes and grades at individual sites.
•Variable or adverse ground conditions.
•Increased use of shrinkage stoping in very narrow and / or discontinuous veins.
•Mining of lower grade, but still economic, material outside of the vein proper.
•Misattribution of feed source to the mill.
•Mill process control issues.
•Mill focus issues on metal prioritization.

Silvercorp has previously placed a high level of focus on dilution control and, as part of that effort, revised its stockpiling and record keeping procedures and implemented a work quality checklist management enhancement program. The QP recommends that Silvercorp continue to emphasize the dilution control aspects of the mining process and notes that this will be even more important with an LOM plan that projects yet higher production rates. The QP recommends that Silvercorp undertake regular mill audits aimed at ensuring optimum process control and mill performance.

Comparison of Mineral Reserves, June 30, 2024 to December 31, 2025

A comparison of Mineral Reserve estimates between June 30, 2024 (2024 Technical Report) and December 31, 2025 (this Technical Report) indicates the following:

•50% increase in total (Proven + Probable) Ying Mineral Reserve tonnes: 45% increase in Proven Mineral Reserves and 55% increase in Probable Mineral Reserves.
•1% increase in Ying Mineral Reserve gold grade and reductions of 20%, 23%, and 17% in silver, lead, and zinc grades, respectively. Increase in gold, silver, lead, and zinc metal content of 52%, 20%, 16%, and 22%, respectively. · SGX continues to be the leading contributor to the total Ying Mineral Reserves, accounting for 38% of tonnes, 9% of gold, 44% of silver, 59% of lead, and 87% of zinc, compared to respective values of 42%, 6%, 44%, 58%, and 90% in the previous Technical Report.
•34% increase in Mineral Reserve tonnes at SGX. 77% increase in gold grade and 11%, 12% and 12% reductions in silver, lead, and zinc grades, respectively. Increases in gold, silver, lead, and zinc metal content of 138%, 19%, 19%, and 18%, respectively.
•TLP remains the second largest contributor to total Ying Mineral Reserves, with 18% of tonnes, 19% of silver, and 20% of lead.
•21% increase in Mineral Reserve tonnes at TLP. 22% decrease in both silver and lead grades, with a 6% reduction in both silver and lead metal content.
•LMW remains the third largest contributor to total Ying Mineral Reserves, with 13% of tonnes, 28% of gold, 13% of silver, 70% of lead, and 42% of copper.

89


​

•48% increase in Mineral Reserve tonnes at LMW. 77% increase in gold grade, with 32% and 36% reductions in silver and lead grades, respectively. Increases in gold and silver metal content of 162% and 1%, respectively; decrease in lead metal content of 6%.
•40% of Ying total Mineral Reserves gold metal at HPG
•First Mineral Reserves of 0.21 Mt at KP.
•In terms of AgEq metal in total Ying Mineral Reserves, approximate respective contributions are silver 67%, lead 22%, gold 6%, zinc 5%, and copper 1%.
•In total Ying Mineral Reserves, SGX, TLP, LME, LMW, HPG, HZG, DCG, and KP contribute 47%, 16%, 12%, 12%, 6%, 1%, and 1% of AgEq metal, respectively.

The QP notes that, except for gold, the Ying Mineral Reserves general trend of significant increase in tonnes, decrease in grades, and increase in metal content compared to the 2024 Mineral Reserves is largely attributable to use of lower COGs driven by the increased silver price ($28/oz in 2025 vs $21/oz in 2024). The QP also notes that the $28/oz silver price is very much lower than prevailing silver price levels at the time of writing of the Technical Report.

Life-of-mine plan

Table 1.4 is a summary of the projected LOM production for each of the Ying mines and for the entire operation based on the December 31, 2025 Mineral Reserve estimates.

Annual ore production in the LOM plan is projected to rise from the projected full-year FY2026 level of about 1.2 Mt to: 1.3 Mt in FY2027, 1.5Mt in FY2028, and over 1.6 Mt in FY2029, with that level being maintained through to FY2031. From FY2032, a slow year-over-year decline is projected to around 1.52 Mt in FY2034, followed by a more rapid decline from 1.37 Mt in FY2035, 1.26 Mt in FY2036, 1.17 Mt in FY2037, 830 kt in FY2038, and a further year-over-year decline to 300 kt in the currently projected final year of FY2042.

Metallurgical testwork and processing

Prior to operation of the mines and the construction of Silvercorp’s mills, metallurgical tests had been conducted by various labs to address the recoveries of the different types of mineralization. TLP mineralization was tested by the Changsha Design and Research Institute (CDRI) in 1994, SGX mineralization was tested by Hunan Nonferrous Metal Research Institute (HNMRI) in May 2005, HZG mineralization was tested by Tongling Nonferrous Metals Design Institute (TNMDI) in 2006, and HPG mineralization was tested by Changchun Gold Research Institute (CCGRI) in 2021.

Additional mineralization testing in 2021 was completed by CITIC Heavy Industry Machinery Co., Ltd (CITIC). CITIC was commissioned to conduct grindability tests on sulphide ore from SGX, TLP, LME, and LMW, and oxide ore from TLP and HPG.

The results predicted a metallurgically amenable ore with clean lead-zinc separation by differential flotation and, with the possible exception of silver halides in the upper zones of the TLP deposit, high silver recoveries. Ying on-site metallurgists have conducted plant-tuning programs to continually improve metallurgical performance.

Silvercorp runs two processing plants - Plant 1 (also known as No.1 Mill or Xiayu Plant) and Plant 2 (also known as No. 2 Mill or Zhuangtou Plant) - for the Ying operations, with a total design capacity of 1,800 tonnes per day (tpd) (prior to October 2011), and then 2,800 tpd after October 2011 when expansion Phase II was completed. The two plants are situated within 2 km of each other. An extension to No. 2 Mill - which increased its processing capacity to 3,500 tpd - was completed in November 2024. The combined, designed plant capacity is 4,300 tpd, and the actual, demonstrated capacity is 4,000 tpd.

A third processing plant (No. 3 Mill or Plant 3) is planned to begin operation in 2027 and is currently in the final design and construction planning stages.

The overall processes of the existing plants, and of Plant 3 when it comes into operation, are similar and comprise crushing, grinding, flotation of lead and zinc concentrates, and concentrate dewatering. A Knelson concentrator was also installed at Plant 2 to recover coarse-grained gold from the ball mill discharge. At the same time, a linear sieve was installed before the Knelson concentrator to screen out coarse ore particles larger than 2 mm.

Processing information for FY2025 indicates:

•For Plant 2, ore from all mines was used as the feed for flotation, although only a small proportion of ore from HZG was processed in Plant 2.
•Ore from HZG was generally lower grade and was primarily processed in Plant 1, along with about 40% of HPG ore, 5% of TLP ore, 56% of LMW ore, and 5% of DCG ore.
•77% of the ore was processed at Plant 2, with an average daily processing rate of about 2,400 tpd versus the design capacity of 3,500 tpd.
•23% of the ore was processed at Plant 1, with an average daily processing rate of about 700 tpd, versus the capacity of 700 tpd.

From the LOM mine schedule, a mill feed schedule has been derived based on the following assumptions:

•Plant 1 and Plant 2 (current capacity of 4,300 tpd) will both continue to operate until Plant 3 is completed and put into operation in 2027. At that time, Plant 2 and Plant 3 will be in operation, each with two flotation lines and a combined design capacity of 6,500 tpd (3,500 tpd from Plant 2 and 3,000 tpd from Plant 3).

​

Personnel

Silvercorp operates the Ying mines mainly using contractors for mine development, production, ore transportation, and exploration. The mill plant and surface workshops are operated and maintained using Silvercorp personnel. Silvercorp provides its own management, technical services, and supervisory staff to manage the mine operations.

A recent snapshot of the Ying mines workforce showed a total of 3,804 persons, comprising 1,140 Silvercorp staff, 67 Silvercorp hourly employees, and 2,597 contract workers.

Main infrastructure, including tailings dams

Historically, tailings generated by ore processing activities were stored in either of two engineered tailings storage facilities, located close to the processing plants, named TSF1 and TSF2. In May 2025, a third TSF was commissioned; it was officially put into operation in December 2025. Deposition to TSF1 ceased in early November 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, the remaining tailings storage capacity in TSF2 was calculated to be approximately 1.14 million cubic metres (Mm3). As designed, TSF3 has a tailings storage volume of 17.2 Mm3.

All three tailings facilities have been designed in accordance with prevailing Chinese standards, with TSF3 as per the most recent iteration of the standard published in 2020 (GB 39496 – 2020, Safety Regulations for Tailings Ponds), which replaced the earlier 2006 version (AQ2006-2005, Safety Technical Regulations for Tailings Ponds).

Overall, QP D Claffey notes that the TSF facilities seen at the time of the February 2024 site visit appeared to be in good condition, well maintained, well operated, and appropriately managed. Visual observations during the May 2026 site visit support Mr Claffey’s comments.

The facilities are in an area of low seismic activity and are founded on competent bedrock. Facility designs are conventional and reasonable.

Monitoring systems and procedures are extensive and commensurate with accepted international good practice. The facilities are extensively inspected by a range of internal and external parties and are subject to considerable oversight from local regulators.

Based on the data presented during the 2024 site visit, it appears that the facilities were constructed to a high standard, with adequate levels of oversight and in accordance with an appropriate QA/QC program. Detailed ‘as-built’ reports are available for each of the three TSFs, including signed-off construction drawings.

Both the TSF1 and TSF2 facilities are noted to have been designed and operated in accordance with Chinese standards, although these standards may, in certain areas, differ from current commonly accepted international standards.

The new TSF3 is similar in design and operation to the existing two facilities, with some notable exceptions, including the incorporation of a complete basal liner to the impoundment area, reflecting the increased standards now required by local regulators. Design documentation is extensive, again reflecting the increased requirements, as regulators move towards an alignment with international standards.

Supporting studies for the new facility thus include a Tailings Dam Breach Analysis and three-dimensional seepage modelling.

​

The QP has made TSF recommendations on hydrological design criteria - including Inflow Design Flood events; reassessment of slope stability analysis; and, for TSF3, that consideration should be given to the installation of an underdrainage system, installed above the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) basin liner in the area immediately upstream of the starter dam. The Silvercorp responses to these recommendations are included in Section 18.1 of the Technical Report.

Wastewater is generated from mining activities, mineral processing, and domestic sewage.

Ying TSF tailings water is collected via culvert under the TSF embankments and piped back to the processing plant for reuse. No tailings water is discharged to the environment.

Mine dewatering is undertaken in accordance with the “Chinese Safety Regulations of Metal and Non-metal Mines”.

Sewage from the SGX mining areas is collected and treated by a biological and artificial wetland treatment system. The QP understands that the treated water meets all the criteria of water reuse, with 100% being reused for landscape watering. There is no discharge to the reservoir. At the HZG, HPG, TLP, LME, LMW, and DCG mines, underground water and domestic sewage are filtered through gravel pits and then discharged to the environment.

Data provided by Silvercorp indicates that, with few exceptions, any water released to the environment complies with regulatory requirements.

Waste rock dumps are sited throughout the Property and adjacent to the mines. In 2021, the Hongfa Aggregate Plant (Hongfa) was constructed to recycle and crush waste rock from the Ying Mining District. Since Hongfa has been in operation, Silvercorp has evaluated each waste dump, and decided to reclaim three waste dumps (two waste dumps at the SGX mine, and one at the HZG mine). The role of the other waste dumps is changing to temporary waste rock storage, from which waste rock is hauled to the Hongfa plant each day.

Power for the Ying Property is drawn from the Chinese national grid, with high-voltage lines to sub-stations in proximity to the different mine camps and mill plants. Diesel generators act as back-up power supply in the event of a grid power outage. The QP understands that existing main power supply provisions will be able to meet the power requirements of the increased mining and milling operations and TSF requirements. Two 10 kV lines supply power to the KP mine, with one coming from the Gang-Qian line and the other from Xi-Zhang line as a backup.

In 2020, access to the SGX / HZG mine from the mill-office complex was via a 7 km paved road to Hedong wharf of Guxian Reservoir, and then across the reservoir by boat to the mine site. Silvercorp shipped ore from the SGX / HZG and HPG mines to Hedong wharf by two large barges that could carry up to five 45-tonne trucks. Since the beginning of 2021, ore transport from the SGX / HZG and HPG mines has changed to an alternative ore transport route. This route is via a 10 km road that passes through three tunnels in sequence, with three bridges connecting the tunnels. The HPG mine can be accessed by 12 km paved road, south-west of the main office complex. The TLP, LME, and LMW mines are approximately 15 km south-east of the main office complex and are accessed by paved road along the Chongyang River. A 1,756 m transportation ramp was built in 2020 from the TLP camp area to the DCG mine for ore haulage. The DCG mine can also be accessed by a 10.5 km paved road, south-southwest of the mills. Ore from the KP Project will also be hauled to the Ying mill complex by 45-tonne electric trucks. The one-way transport distance is around 120 km.

Domestic water for the SGX mine is sourced from the Guxian Reservoir, while water for the HPG, TLP, LME, LMW, HZG, and DCG mines is sourced from nearby creeks and springs. Water is regularly tested and reported test results indicate that its quality and quantity meet requirements. Mine production water for drilling and dust suppression is sourced from underground. The water supply for the KP mine is sourced from a well close to the main office building.

Market studies and contracts

Contracts for underground mining operations are in place with several contracting firms, including Henan Sanyi Mine Construction Engineering Co. Ltd and Luoyang Xinsheng Mining Engineering Co. Ltd.

The QP understands that the lead and zinc concentrates are marketed to existing smelter customers in Henan and Shaanxi provinces and appropriate terms have been negotiated. All contracts have freight and related expenses to be paid by the smelter customers. The key elements of the smelter contracts are subject to change based on market conditions when the contracts are renewed each month; they may vary between smelters.

With respect to recently indicated concentrate terms, the QP notes that lead payability of approximately 100% is higher than the industry norm of 95%. Silver payability of 92.5% to 96% is lower than the industry norm of 95%. Gold payability of 80% to 84% is lower than the norm of 95%.

Zinc concentrate payability of approximately 77% is lower than the industry norm of 80% to 85%. Silver - the only payable minor component, is commonly paid using a standard deduction of 90 g/t and 90% payability for the remainder. The QP understands that Ying zinc concentrate silver has attracted payability of 50% since November 2025.

With respect to copper, when lead concentrate contains 1% to 1.5% of copper, copper is payable at 30% of copper price, and when lead concentrate contains more than 1.5% of copper, copper is payable at 40% of copper price.

Regarding harmful element assessment in concentrates, the QP notes that, other than for silicon dioxide, both the Ying concentrates exhibit deleterious material percentages below the standard maxima. The QP also understands that silicon dioxide has never been considered in concentrate sales contracts and that Silvercorp has had no issues of significance with respect to the saleability of its concentrates since the start of operations in 2006.

Environmental, permitting, social / community impact

Silvercorp has all the required permits for its operations on the Property. The existing mining permits cover all the active mining areas and, in conjunction with safety and environmental certificates, give Silvercorp the right to carry out full mining and mineral processing operations. Silvercorp has also obtained approvals and certificates for wastewater discharge locations at the SGX mine, the HPG mine, and the three TSFs. All certificates must be renewed periodically.

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report of the Shimengou TSF (TSF3), which was built and put into operation in November 2024, has been completed and approved by the Luoyang Branch of the Luoyang Ecological Environment Bureau. Also, the EIA report for the technical renovation and capacity expansion project of Mill Plant 2 was approved by the Luoyang branch of the Luoyang Ecological Environment Bureau in July 2024.

There are no cultural minority groups within and around the Ying Property. The culture of the broader Luoning County and Shanzhou District is predominantly Han Chinese. No records of cultural heritage sites exist within or near the SGX, HZG, HPG, TLP, LME, LMW, DCG, and KP Project areas. The surrounding land near the mines is used predominantly for agriculture. The mining areas do not cover any natural conservation, ecological forests, or strict land control zones. The current vegetation within the project area is mainly secondary, including farm plantings. Larger wild mammals have not been found in the region. Small birds nesting and moving in the woodland are observed occasionally. The surrounding villagers raise domestic animals, such as chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, goats, cows, etc.

Silvercorp has made a range of cash donations and contributions to local capital projects and community support programs, sponsoring university students, and undertaking projects such as road construction and school repairs, upgrading, and construction. In 2024 and 2025, Silvercorp donated Chinese Yuan (“CNY”) 10.85 million and CNY 8.6 million (M), respectively; and, as of December 31, 2025, Silvercorp had, in total, donated around CNY 150M in cash or in kind. Silvercorp has also made economic contributions in the form of direct hiring and retention of local contractors, suppliers, and service providers. The QP understands that there are no records of public complaints in relation to Silvercorp’s Ying Property operations.

The Ying operation has an environmental protection department consisting of eight full-time staff. The full-time environment management personnel are mainly responsible for the environment management and rehabilitation management work in the Ying Property. There are three part-time environment management personnel at the KP mine.

Environmental monitoring is undertaken for air and dust emissions, noise and wastewater. The monitoring work is completed by qualified persons and licensed institutes. For water environment monitoring, an intensive program has been developed and implemented, including once-a-quarter testing of domestic sewage water and ground water for TSFs, and once-a-year testing of the ground water near the mine and twice-a-year testing of the surface water at Yuelianggou, HPG, and Chongyang River (TLP) by the Luoyang Liming Testing Company. The mine water from Yuelianggou (SGX and HZG), HPG, TLP-LM, and DCG is also tested once-a-quarter by the Luoyang Liming Testing Company. Surface water flowing into the Guxian Reservoir from SGX and HPG is tested monthly by the Yellow River Basin Environmental Monitoring Centre, an inter-provincial government organization. Silvercorp will make a plan in the first half of 2026 to start monitoring the water quality at KP.

Production activities on the Property are compliant with Chinese labour regulations. Formal contracts are signed for all full-time employees with wages well above minimum levels. The company provides annual medical surveillance, and checks are conducted for its employees before, during, and after their employment with the Company. The Company does not use child or under-age labour.

Remediation and reclamation plans were developed during the project approval stage, including measures for project construction, operation, and closure. From FY2016 through FY2025, the Company has spent approximately CNY 213.2M on environmental protection, including dust control measures, wastewater treatment, solid waste disposal, under-drainage tunnel construction, soil and water conservation, noise control, ecosystem rehabilitation, and emergency response plans. In the same period, a land area of 1,366,500 m2 was planted with trees and grasses, as planned in the EIA; of this, 54,700 m2 of land was planted in 2024 and 116,800 m2 in 2025. Unused mining tunnels have been closed and rehabilitation coverage at all the mines has been undertaken.

Based on Chinese national regulatory requirements, Silvercorp will complete a site decommissioning plan at least one year before mine closure. Site rehabilitation and closure cost estimates will be made at that time.

Capital and operating costs

An exchange rate of United States Dollar (US$)1 = CNY 7.00 is assumed for all capital and operating cost estimates.

Table 1.5 indicates anticipated capital expenditures on exploration and mine development; facilities, plant, and equipment; and general investment capital through to the projected end of mine life in 2042. The basis for calculating these capital costs is the LOM plan for mining and processing based on the December 31, 2025 Mineral Reserve estimates.

As of December 31, 2025, LOM projected capital expenditures, inclusive of construction completion and commissioning of Mill Plant 3, but also including ore sorting and TSF costs, planned to be completed in FY2028, total $365M.

The QP considers the projected capital costs to be reasonable relative to the planned exploration, development, mining, processing, and associated site facilities, equipment, and infrastructure.

Major operating cost categories are mining, shipping, milling, G&A, product selling, Mineral Resources tax, and government fees and other taxes.

Silvercorp utilizes contract labour for mining on a rate per tonne or a rate per metre basis. The contracts include all labour, all fixed and mobile equipment, materials, and consumables, including fuel and explosives, which are purchased through the Company. Ground support consumables such as timber, and power to the portal areas are the responsibility of the Company.

Shipping costs are for moving ore from each mine to the processing plant.

The principal components of the milling costs are utilities (power and water), consumables (grinding steel and reagents), and labour, each typically about one third of the total cost.

G&A costs represent employee salaries and benefits, office and administrative expenses, and professional fees.

As of July 1, 2016, the previous Mineral Resources tax was switched to a levy based on percentage of sales. The provision for Mineral Resources tax is approximately 3% of sales.

Mineral rights royalty has been paid and included in Government fee and other taxes since November 2024 pursuant to the guideline of "Measure for the Levy of Mining Rights Transfer Royalty" implemented by the Province of Henan, China in 2024.

Table 1.6 summarizes projected LOM unit and total operating costs in US$, by mine, and for Ying as a whole.

The QP notes that, for Ying as a whole, the unit operating cost estimates are in close alignment with those used for Mineral Reserve COG determination. In the case of LME, an approximately 18% lower unit mining cost/t projection may be seen as a reflection of the benefits of scale associated with LOM annual average planned production at close to three times that of FY2025. At DCG, an approximately 24% lower unit mining cost/t projection can be attributed to not only significantly higher projected annual production but also the recent underground connection with TLP promising increases in operating efficiency.

Overall, the QP considers the operating cost estimates to be reasonable relative to the methods and technology used and the scale of operations envisaged over the LOM. Inflationary pressures on costs have also been noted and, while the projected overall annual production rate increases and the introduction of more mechanized mining can facilitate the achievement of costs around projected levels, a constant focus on operational efficiency and cost effectiveness will still be essential.

Economic analysis

Although Silvercorp is a producing issuer and, therefore, does not require an economic analysis of the Ying Property for the purposes of a NI 43-101 Technical Report, the QPs have considered it reasonable to include a high-level analysis to illustrate the potential economic impact relative to the latest Mineral Reserve estimation and the associated production schedule.

The following Ying realized selling metal prices (Ying averages over projected LOM except where stated), average costs, and exchange rate were used for the economic analysis (all values in $US):

​

​

The QP notes the following about the above economic parameters:

●Ying realized metal prices are as per Silvercorp advice and assume the following $US market prices:
-Gold/oz: $4,000 FY2026Q4, $3,500 FY2027, $2,800 remaining LOM.
-Silver/oz: $80 FY2026Q4, $50 FY2027, $40 FY2028, $28 remaining LOM.
-Lead/lb: $0.90.
-Zinc/lb: $1.20.
-Copper/lb: $4.40.
-Other than for FY2026Q4 / FY2027 for gold, and FY2026Q4 / FY2027 / FY2028 for silver, the above market prices are as per those used in the mining COG calculations.
●Cost values are as per those indicated in Section 21 (sustaining and growth capital includes mill expansion, TSF, and ore sorting capital through to FY2028).

The QP also notes that approximate spot metal prices at the time of writing of the Technical Report are: gold - $4,745/oz; silver - $75.50/oz; lead - $0.86/lb; zinc - $1.49/lb, copper - $5.85/lb.

Based on the LOM production profile and the metal price and other assumptions shown above, pre-tax and post-tax cashflow projections have been generated. At 5% discount rate, pre-tax and post-tax net present values (NPVs) of $1,275M and $1,030M, respectively, are projected. Over the LOM, 69.3% of the net revenue is projected to come from silver, 20.1% from lead, 5.4% from gold, 4.6% from zinc, and 0.6% from copper.

103


​

Pre-tax NPV sensitivity was also examined (see Figure 1.1) over a +/- 30% change in Ag, Au, Pb, and Zn metal prices, and in operating and capital costs.

Graphic

​

Source: AMC, from Silvercorp data.

Most sensitivity is seen in silver price (the sensitivity would effectively be the same with variation in Ag grade) and, to a lesser extent, in operating cost. The NPV is moderately sensitive to lead price and capex, and slightly sensitive to gold price and zinc price.

The Ying mine complex is seen to be a very viable operation with a projected LOM through to 2042 based on Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves. There remains significant potential to extend the LOM beyond 2042 via further exploration and development, particularly in areas with identified Inferred Resources.

Recommendations

Other than for costs estimated below for exploration tunnelling and drilling – totaling US$39.95M and which are part of planned LOM capital expenditures – the QPs consider that implementation of the following recommendations will form part of the day-to-day operating cost of the Ying mines.

Safety in general

Maintain indicated focus and measures employed related to mine and site safety, including implementation of a policy whereby the more stringent of either Chinese or Canadian safety standards is employed. The QP notes that Silvercorp has gone beyond Chinese statutory requirements in certain areas of safety and the Company has indicated a continuing focus on production procedure safety improvement.

​

Drilling

The QP recommends the following:

●The procedures used in the 2020 density measurement for SGX should be independently reviewed and modified, if necessary.
●All density samples should be geologically described, with particular attention to the degree of oxidation and the presence or absence of vugs or porosity.
●The minimum size of the density samples should be 1 kg. The part of the sample that is selected for assaying should be as representative of the mineralization in the part used for density measurement as possible. Assaying of the density sample itself is preferable but only if the wax does not lead to problems with assay sample preparation.
●The regression models are likely to be improved for some samples by inclusion of assays for copper and iron. In samples with a significant content of chalcopyrite, freibergite, pyrite, or hematite, these minerals may make a significant contribution to the overall density of the samples.
●The procedures used in for the KP density measurement should be documented.
●HZG, DCG, and KP are underrepresented in the current density data. Further sampling of these deposits is required.

Sample preparation, analyses, and security

All recommendations in this Section refer to the Ying Project other than those indicated as specific to the KP Project.

Laboratories

●Laboratories should be chosen based on similar protocols, or protocols should be standardized between laboratories where possible.
●Attempt to standardize the crush methodology, crush sub-sampling method, and sample size, lower and upper detection limits and overlimit techniques that are utilized by the various laboratories.
●Halt the use of roll mats to mix samples prior to sub-sampling. Riffle splitting or automated rotary sample dividers are a more robust system less inclined to sampling bias.
●Wet sizing of pulps should be conducted to test the grind size protocols.

CRMs

●The issue of excessively precise results from some laboratories needs to be discussed with the laboratory managers.
●Maintain a ‘table of fails’ that documents the remedial action completed on any failed batch.
●Implement a system whereby the original assays of failed batches are retained in the sample database and available for audit.
●Consider implementing the review of CRM (and QA/QC) samples for all mines collectively, in addition to the present practice of reviewing QA/QC samples separately at each mine. Given that CRMs and laboratories are common to all mines, this will provide additional data to monitor laboratory performance and trends.
●Issues of data bias (both positive and negative) as well as analytical drift should be further investigated, including the standardization of sample preparation and analysis methods between all labs.
●Consider developing several custom Ying specific CRMs. Several CRM suppliers can create CRMs from surplus coarse reject material and provide relevant certification and documentation. This may help to reduce the number of CRMs required and would also provide CRMs with matrix matched to the Ying deposits.
●Consider adding a CRM that monitors low grade zinc (less than (<) 0.2%).

108


​

Blanks

●Send a batch of coarse blank samples to several laboratories to enable statistics on grade distribution of Ag, Pb, and Zn of the blank source material to be determined. This should be completed for each quarry site to ensure the source has sufficiently low Ag, Pb, Zn, and Au concentrations. If blank materials from different quarry sites are used, each blank material should be given an identification so that the source can be traced.
●Revise protocols so that blanks are inserted using a systematic approach at a rate of at least one blank in every 25 samples (4%) for both drilling and underground samples.
●Insert blanks immediately after expected high-grade mineralization.
●Implement the use of both coarse and fine (pulp) blank material to enable sample preparation and analytical processes to be monitored for contamination.
●Ensure that all laboratories are running their own internal blanks to monitor contamination. If possible, internal laboratory QA/QC data should be acquired in real time and incorporated into the Silvercorp database.
●Investigate if detection limits and analytical methods can be standardized between labs to ensure blank material is performing consistently
●Implement the monitoring of blank results in real-time and ensure that sample batches with blanks exceeding failure limits are investigated and re-analyzed.
●Maintain a ‘table of fails’ that documents the remedial action completed on any failed batch.
●Implement a system whereby the original assays of failed batches are retained in the sample database and available for audit.
●Submit pulp duplicate samples for analysis to enable practical detection limits to be determined for each laboratory.

Duplicates

●Duplicates insertion rates should be increased to 5 - 6% of total samples submitted and should comprise field duplicates, coarse crush duplicates and pulp duplicates. The collection of duplicates at different stages of the sampling process will enable the source of sampling variance to be understood.
●Investigate the cause of poor field duplicate performance in both core and underground samples. This could include a test phase that incorporates the following:
●Submitting the second half of the core, instead of quarter core as the field duplicates (if required, a thin slice of core could be sliced off and retained for archival storage before cutting the core into halves).
●Consider increasing the size of underground samples.

Umpire samples

●Select a single, third-party laboratory to act as the umpire laboratory.
●Submit a random selection of pulp samples to the umpire laboratory on a regular basis, with CRMs, blanks, and duplicates. This is to assess the performance of the batch at the umpire laboratory.
●Increase umpire sampling submissions to 4-5% of all samples collected.

109


​

General recommendations

Ying Project

●Laboratory protocols for sample preparation and analysis should be standardized where possible.
●Insertion rates for all QA/QC sample types should be increased to conform with generally accepted industry standards. QA/QC samples should be included with every batch of samples submitted to the laboratory.
●Insert QA/QC samples randomly within sample batches as opposed to the present practice of consistently inserting consecutive CRMs, blanks, and duplicates. This will make it more difficult for the laboratory to pre-determine the QA/QC types.
●Investigate whether internal laboratory QA/QC data are available, and whether these can be reviewed in addition to Silvercorp data.
●Populate and utilize the planned implementation of a commercial drillhole database with QA/QC capability.
●Maintain and report a ‘table of fails’ that documents the remedial action completed on any failed batch.
●Implement a system whereby the original assays of failed batches are retained in the sample database and available for audit.
●Consider implementing the review of QA/QC samples for all mines collectively, in addition to the present practice of reviewing QA/QC samples separately at each mine. Given that laboratories are common to all mines, this will provide additional data to monitor laboratory performance and trends.
●Standardize the coding of batch IDs for all samples (including QA/QC samples) to allow for the review of data on a batch basis.

KP Project

●Upgrade all drilling and sampling to meet, as a minimum, the QA/QC protocols applied at the Ying Project.
●All records of QA/QC submissions and treatment should be maintained.

Data verification

●Progress centralizing and standardizing all mine databases to reduce duplicate data and minimize version control issues. Rules or lookup tables should be set to ensure data is valid prior to upload.
●Establish standard dataset boundaries for each mine, including overlaps as required.
●Ensure assay data is recorded without rounding to accurately reflect the original assay certificates.
●Establish a protocol for the consistent treatment of samples with analytical results below the LLD.
●Undertake further random assay checks of the channel sample database and make corrections as appropriate.
●Establish a protocol to ensure unsampled intervals are consistently, and unambiguously, recorded in the database.
●Ensure that when a sample ID is on two certificates there is a documented rationale and flag for what assays are used for the Mineral Resources.
●Duplicated drillhole and channel Hole IDs should be addressed to allow the Ying database to be audited as a whole. Develop procedures to ensure Hole IDs and Sample IDs are unique for each deposit.
●Store QA/QC data within the database and ensure that Certificate (batch) IDs are consistent between sample and QA/QC data.
●Ensure that date fields are populated in a consistent format within the assay database. All dates should be checked for validity and corrected as required. Missing dates should be corrected using historical records or by cross-referencing drill dates, samples dates, and assay dates.

110


​

Mineral Resource

Estimation process

●Continue to standardize modelling protocols at all mines to facilitate efficient model auditing.
●Establish clear responsibilities for key personnel during the Mineral Resource estimation process. This should include a rigorous internal peer review of all inputs including input databases, 3D vein / domain models, as-built and sterilization triangulations, etc. This internal review process could include something as structured as a formal internal data sign-off at each key stage of the modelling process.
●Ensure that vein models are appropriate for use as estimation domains in the context of established parameters (e.g. hard boundary search neighbourhood). Disparate veins in similar structural positions, considered within the mining context as the same vein, may need to be separated into separate domains (different vein domain names). Conversely, spatially related veins with minor fault offsets may be grouped into single domains (same vein domain name). This will enable blocks to be informed by appropriate data and eliminate boundary artefacts in the resulting block model.

Resource database

●Finalize the ongoing migration of all Mineral Resource datasets from the individual mine-based data solutions (Excel™ files) to the central Micromine GeobankTM database and implement data validation checks.
●Create fields within the database to identify any drillhole or channel samples that should be excluded from the Mineral Resource. Documentation of why any data are excluded should be maintained and provided to any external QPs completing work on the project.
●Consider standardizing the translation of Chinese vein names to English vein names to ensure consistency between successive (i.e. yearly) Mineral Resource updates. This will allow more detailed comparisons of individual block models on a vein-by-vein basis. This could also be accomplished through a tracking document that records successive names for the same vein.

Vein modelling

●Develop standardized procedures for vein modelling across all deposits for the purpose of Mineral Resource estimation. This should encompass standards that cover how far to extrapolate veins from known mineralization, criteria for combining (or splitting) veins into a single estimation domain, and minimum vein width criteria.
●Increase the number of vertices during wireframe construction to increase the resolution of triangulations, and to prevent deleterious triangle artefacts in veins with highly variable or sparse data density. Investigate possible advanced vein modelling tools such as implicit modelling to create more appropriate and robust vein wireframes.
●Where appropriate, clip intersecting veins using wireframe Boolean tools.
●Adjust wireframing processes to reduce wireframes pinching out to thicknesses of less than 0.4 m between data.

Depletion modelling

●In building depletion and sterilization wireframes, ensure that ‘cookie cutter’ coding wireframes are orthogonal to the strike / dip of vein models.
●As-builts should be used in addition to any ‘cookie cutter’ wireframe built in the longitudinal plane to ensure that raises and crosscut drives are appropriately coded and depleted.

111


​

Mineral processing

●Undertake periodic mill audits aimed at ensuring optimum process control and mill performance.
●Continue with targeting of improvements on processing systems and auxiliary facilities, including XRT sorting, to enhance metal recovery and reduce energy consumption.
●For XRT sorting, establish and maintain a comprehensive performance data collection regime to facilitate optimum use and processing value contribution.
●Ensure that tight control is exercised over construction and commissioning of Mill Plant 3, and for the changeover period as Mill Plant 1 is phased out.

Tailings storage facilities

QP note: Initial Silvercorp responses to recommendations are included in Section 18.1 of the Technical Report.

●Consideration should be given to the adoption of more stringent hydrological design criteria for all three facilities, adopting a more extreme Inflow Design Flood than the presently adopted 1:500-year or 1:1,000-yr events.
●A reassessment of the slope stability analysis for the existing facilities should be undertaken, using up to date methods of analyses and considering all appropriate loading conditions. Initially, this should entail a rigorous review of all data obtained from field and laboratory testing with a particular focus on the identification of contractive materials based on the results of cone penetrometer test (CPTu) data. Undrained limit equilibrium analyses should be conducted. Depending on the results of this review and the undrained analyses, more complex methods of analyses may be required using advanced numerical models, i.e., non-linear deformation analyses (NDA).
●For TSF3, consideration should be given to the installation of an underdrainage system, installed above the HDPE basin liner in the area immediately upstream of the starter dam. The aim of this system would be to facilitate the drainage of the tailings mass on which subsequent upstream raises would be constructed.
●Also for TSF3, engage with an independent TSF design specialist to review and inspect the as-built construction, inclusive of diversion channels, adjacent slope stability aspects, and maintenance of road access in the event of extreme weather events.

Surface roads and transportation

●Assess all roads in steep slope areas and take appropriate action to offset risk in any sections that lack road safety barriers and / or where there may be potential for slope failures.
●For road transportation in general at the Ying property, and the surrounding area, and with particular reference to increased road traffic and interaction with non-company vehicles on roads and in tunnels, continue to ensure that appropriate safety protocols are in place and adhered to.

Mining

●For internal planning and forecasting and for external reporting, continue with process of fully integrating Resource estimation, Reserve estimation, and mine planning processes at each mine and for Ying as a whole.
●Continue the focus on dilution and grade control and implementation of best mining practices via the Mining Quality Control Department. This will be fundamental to achieving Mineral Reserve grades over the Ying LOM while also producing ore at significantly increased rates.

112


​

●Maintain a major and continual focus on mine planning and control in general – particularly of dilution aspects as noted above, but also with respect to personnel numbers and capabilities, and on mechanized equipment maintenance.
●Ensure that geotechnical understanding and planning is at the forefront of implementing and maintaining safe ground control in all the Ying mines.
●Continue with the plan to introduce more advanced technology at the Ying operations, while developing and implementing all necessary operating and safety measures related to the use of more mechanized equipment and new mining methods. This introduction brings additional safety considerations, with specific training and enforced protocols and operating practices being required. Equipment and personnel operating around open brows, raises, and ore-passes; remote mucking practices and operator protection, and provision of safety bays and adequate equipment clearances relative to drift widths are specific examples of aspects to be addressed. The QP acknowledges the Silvercorp indication of training implementation and that all current tasks in the Ying operation have been assessed and standardized for safe production.
●Maintain a high degree of development planning, scheduling, and control throughout the Ying operation. In this regard, achievement of development projections, particularly in the next few years, will be a key contributor to the further planned production increases.
●Ensure consistent contractor awareness and fulfilment of requirements and responsibilities, including provision and availability of resources, particularly skilled manpower numbers and appropriately maintained equipment, and with respect to safety protocol adherence.
●For recently introduced longhole mining, ensure a comprehensive program is continued to monitor drilling and blasting performance against design, inclusive of regular cavity monitoring surveys. With a view to optimizing longhole performance in general - and particularly regarding safety, production rate and dilution - engagement of specialist guidance is recommended. This could include advice on stope access and design, equipment, operating protocols, drill and blast design, geotechnical assessment and ground support – particularly around brows and hangingwalls, and backfilling.
●Again, with respect to longhole mining, consider a more widespread application of the methodology in appropriate areas, with a view to further increasing stope production rates. In undertaking such, it must be recognized that design and blasting practices aimed at dilution control will require yet more focus.
●For room and pillar mining, ensure design and operating practices include geotechnical and support assessment and result in adequate pillar stability and stable backs, both locally and in the wider room and pillar areas.
●For the predominant resuing and shrinkage mining methods, maintain a high degree of process control on design, drilling, and blasting. This will be critical to achieving dilution targets.
●As appropriate, engage specialist guidance on paste backfill, including for recipes, binder type and usage, appropriate strength requirements and achievement over time, testing protocols, delivery system, and placement.
●With respect to diesel equipment operation, ensure that regulatory and best practice ventilation standards are maintained, including with respect to noxious gases and diesel particulate matter (DPM) concentrations.
●Particularly for room and pillar and longhole mining, monitor and assess ore recovery factors against current projections.
●Maintain the focus on stockpiling and record keeping procedures, and on assessing all aspects of reconciliation performance between mine and mill.
●Where viable and safe, maintain consideration of placement of waste material into stope voids for all appropriate mining methods.
●Maintain a constant focus on operational efficiency and cost effectiveness. The QP considers that unit cost estimates are reasonable relative to projected annual production rate increases and the introduction of more mechanized mining but, particularly in recognition of cost inflation pressures, such a focus will be essential.
●Consider increasing use of electric / battery mining vehicles at the Ying operations.

Introduction

SRK Consulting China Limited (“Ltd.” or “SRK”) was requested by Silvercorp Metals Inc. to prepare a Qualified Person’s Report (“QPR” or Competent Person’s Report, “CPR”)) for Gaocheng Silver-Lead-Zinc Project (the “GC Project”), located in Yunfu City of Guangdong Province, People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”) in compliance with the requirements of NI 43-101 and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) for the listing by Silvercorp Metals Inc., who indirectly owns 99% of GC Mine.

This QPR or CPR is an independent review of the GC Mine’s geology, exploration, Mineral Resources, Mineral Reserves, mining, mineral processing, capital investment, operating cost, and environmental and social aspects.

The scope of work includes the review the Mineral Resources estimates, modifying factors for Mineral Reserve conversion, operation records and mining operations of the GC Mine as of the effective date of the report, conducting site visit by the Qualified Persons, and preparation of the QPR in compliance with the NI 43-101 and the Listing Rules.

The Mineral Resource statement reported herein is a collaborative effort between GC Mine, SVM and SRK personnel.

The exploration database was compiled and maintained by GC Mine and was reviewed by SRK. The geological model and wireframes defining the mineralization were constructed by SVM in December 2025, In SRK’s opinion, the geological model is a reasonable representation of the distribution of the targeted mineralization at the current level of sampling.

The statistical analysis, block model(s) and grade estimate were constructed by SRK, between January and February 2026.

Based on the Mineral Resource estimates and model(s), the mine plan and operation practices, GC Mine converted the qualified Mineral Resources into Mineral Reserves and scheduled the productions of the mine under SRK’s review. SRK updated the technical-economic analysis to demonstrate the project economic viability for perspective operation.

​

Overview

GC Mine, 99% owned by SVM, in the vicinity of Gaocheng village, Gaocun Township, Yun’an District, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province, which is accessed from Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province, is via a 178 kilometer (“km”), four-lane express highway to Yunfu, then a 48 km of paved road to the Project.

The poly-metallic mineralization of the GC deposits belongs to the mesothermal vein infill style of deposit, with silver, lead and zinc elements for commercial extraction.

The Mine is an operating underground mine (“UG”), with related facilities and infrastructure that are suitable and constructed for supporting the operation, and necessary regulation permits and licenses.

The GC Mine is a producing UG Mine applying decline (ramp) and shaft hybrid access method and shrinkage, resuing and overhand cut and fill mining methods, to produce plant feed ore since Q2 2014. The GC processing plant has a nominate capacity of 330 thousand tonnes per annual (“ktpa”) feed ore to produce commercial lead concentrate and zinc concentrate.

SRK has worked on the GC Mine since November 2025, conducted data verification programs and carried out quality assurance and quality control (“QA/QC”) programs on drill hole information. SRK reviewed the active database and economic and technical parameters provided by GC Mine and SVM and opined the estimation of Mineral Resources is reasonable.

The Mineral Resource statements for GC Mine are shown in Table 1.1.

The mine plan prepared by GC Mine is based on the eligible Mineral Resource, that are Measure and Indicated categories (“MI”) and generates an 18 year life of mine (“LOM”) for the GC Mine at a production rate of about 370 ktpa run of mine (“ROM”), which was converted to Mineral Reserve after considering and applying the modifying factors.

115


​

GC Mine could be scheduled for more than 25 years based on eligible Measured and Indicated categories Resources (9.32 million tonnes (“Mt”)), primarily driven by: increases or upgrades in the Mineral Resources resulting from exploration investment; reductions in cut-off grade (“COG”) due to higher metal prices; and planned development of deeper Mineral Resources. After accounting for the tailings used in backfilling, total tailings generation, and the remaining tailing storage facility (“TSF”) capacity, the mine schedule has been shortened to 18 years to match the mine’s TSF remaining capacity.

SRK is of the view that the project’s Mineral Resources present an opportunity to extend the mine life; however, a TSF expansion study or the design of a second TSF will be required at an appropriate stage. The capital costs and operating costs provided to SRK, were matched production capacity and the current economic conditions. The economic analysis results demonstrate the economic viability of GC Mine.

Based on the SRK’s review, the key assumptions and projection using discount cash flow modelling, the GC Mine has a net present value (the “NPV”) of US Dollar (the “USD”) 101.4 million at a discount rate of 8%. The economically mineable parts of the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources within the designed stopes, including diluting materials and allowance for losses, were classified as Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, respectively. The Mineral Reserve is estimated based on the reference point being the primary crusher or temporary stockpile at the crusher feed. The Mineral Reserve statement for GC Mine is shown in Table 1.2.

Geology and Mineralization

History

Prior to Yangtze Mining Ltd. acquiring the project in 2005, illegal mining activity resulted in the excavation of several tunnels and small-scale mining of veins. In 2008, SVM acquired a 100% interest in the shares of Yangtze Gold which in turn wholly owned the entirety of Yangtze Mining.

The GC Mine was discovered in 1959 by traditional prospecting methods. From 1959 to 2007, Geophysical Survey Brigade of Guangdong Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources and Guangdong Provincial Institute of Geological Survey (“GIGS”) conducted the exploration work on the GC Mine, and SVM started the exploration work from 2008, while detailed systematic drilling commenced in 2011 and has been on-going.

Prior to Yangtze Mining acquiring the Property, illegal mining activity resulted in the excavation of several tunnels and small-scale mining of veins; V2, V2-2, V3, V4, V5, V6, and V10. GIGS reported that a total of 1,398 m of excavation comprised of 10 adits and tunnels had been completed on the Property through the illegal activity.

Since 2008, six Mineral Resource estimates for the GC Mine have been documented by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. (“AMC”) following the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards.

​

Geological Setting and Mineralisation

The Project is located on the east margin of the Luoding basin, east of the Wuchuan – Sihui major fault within the north portion of the Yunkai uplift of the South China Orogenic Belt. Basement geology in the area comprises late Proterozoic Sinian sedimentary clastics and carbonate rocks; Palaeozoic (Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous) sedimentary clastics and carbonate rocks; and Mesozoic (Triassic) coal-bearing clastic rocks and Cretaceous red clastic rocks. Silver (“Ag”)-lead (“Pb”)-zinc (“Zn”) polymetallic deposits occur within late Proterozoic rocks. Copper (“Cu”)-Pb-Zn, manganese (“Mn”), and gold (“Au”)-Ag deposits occur within Paleozoic rocks.

The majority of Ag-Zn-Pb mineralization is hosted by the Mesozoic granite. The granite dips south and strikes west north-west, parallel to the majority of mineralized veins on the GC property.

Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization at the GC deposit can be divided into two types: primary and oxidized. The primary mineralization is mainly composed of galena-sphalerite-silver minerals, which occur sparsely, as disseminations, veinlets, and lumps. Primary mineralization accounts for 95% of the entire Mineral Resource. Oxide mineralization occurs on and near the surface. Alteration minerals associated with the GC vein systems include quartz, sericite, pyrite, and chlorite, together with clay minerals and limonite. Silicification commonly occurs near the centre of the veins. Chlorite and sericite occur near and slightly beyond the vein margins.

Deposit Types

The poly-metallic mineralization of the GC deposit belongs to the mesothermal vein infill style of deposit.

Exploration and Data Management

Various state-sponsored Chinese Geological Brigades and companies have conducted geological and exploration work in the Project area.

During 2001 and 2002, and again in 2004 and 2005, GIGS conducted general prospecting at the GC Mine area and defined some mineralized bodies and estimated Mineral Resources for the GC deposit.

From 2006 to 2007, GIGS conducted detailed prospecting at the GC Mine area, and completed a 36-hole, 11,470 m surface diamond drilling program and 1,964 cubic meter (“m3”) of trenching and surface stripping to update and upgrade the Mineral Resources of the GC deposit.

In 2008, SVM completed a surface exploration program including soil sampling, geological mapping, and trenching. After 2008, SVM continued the underground tunnelling and sampling at the Property Area.

All SVM drilling from 2008 to 2025 was conducted using NQ-sized core (47.6 mm diameter core), with all drill programs managed by SVM. Drillhole collars were surveyed using a total station, and downhole surveys were completed every 50 m using a Photographical Inclinometer manufactured by Beizheng Weiye Science and Technology Co. Ltd. (Chinese equivalent of the Sperry-Sun downhole survey tool). After the completion of drilling, surface drillhole collars were cemented closed, and the locations were marked with concrete blocks measuring 50 x 30 x 20 centimeter (“cm”). Core recoveries from SVM’s drilling programs ranged from 35.66% to 100.00%, with an average recovery rate of 99.36%. A review of the relationship between grade and core recovery showed no bias.

​

From 2008, SVM continued the underground tunnelling and sampling at the GC Mine. Details of drill programs completed between 2008 and 2025 are presented in Section 5 of this report.

Channel sampling was conducted at 5 m intervals across mineralized vein structures in the adits, with wider spacing (15 or 25 m) in non-mineralized sections. Each channel comprised multiple chip samples taken across the mineralization and wallrocks.

All data for the GC Mine is stored within a central Microsoft Access Database, which is managed by two designated database administrators. Drillhole data is collected in Microsoft Excel software and imported into the Access database software. Underground mapping is recorded on grid paper and in Excel and then imported into Access or Micromine 3D software.

SVM has established QA/QC procedures which cover sample collection and processing at the GC Mine. These QA/QC protocols have been progressively refined since 2011. Certified Reference Materials (“CRMs”) and coarse blanks have been included with drilling samples since 2011, and with underground samples since 2014. Field duplicates have been included with drilling samples since 2012 and with underground samples since 2014. Check (umpire) samples (pulp duplicates) have been sent to a separate ‘umpire’ laboratory since 2012.

In 2018, SVM further improved their QA/QC protocols to include regular and more frequent submission of CRMs, coarse blanks, and field duplicates with drilling and underground samples. Coarse reject duplicates and pulp duplicates were also incorporated into drill sampling programs. The proportion of check samples, sent to a different laboratory was also increased. In 2019, SVM initiated real-time monitoring of QA/QC protocols.

SRK has reviewed QA/QC data collected to date. Except for a small portion of data missing, all the data collected shows reasonable analytical accuracy and precision. SRK considers the GC Mine Mineral Resource database acceptable for Mineral Resource estimation.

Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates

The database, estimation domains of GC Mine was completed by SVM Resource Geologists. Mr. Huaixiang (Hubert) Li (Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, (“MAIG”)), Senior Geologist and Ms. Yanfang Zhao, Principal Geologist (MAIG), both full-time employees of SRK have reviewed the database, estimation domains and are satisfied that they comply with reasonable industry practice. SRK has generated the block models, performed the grade estimation and prepared the Mineral Resource estimate work.

The Qualified Person (“QP”) responsible for the Mineral Resources are Mr. Huaixiang Li (MAIG #8667) and Ms. Yanfang Zhao (MAIG #10796). Mr. Huaixiang Li and Ms. Yanfang Zhao, visited the GC Mine between the 28 and 29 of April 2026.

The estimates are based on drilling samples and underground samples information available up to December 2025. With respect to drilling and underground sample information available for the December 2025 Mineral Resource estimates, SRK believes the current drilling and channel sampling information is sufficiently reliable to interpret with confidence the boundaries for GC deposits and that the assay data is sufficiently reliable to support the Mineral Resource estimation.

The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated, or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling. SRK considers that the majority of the GC Mine is amenable for underground mining.

Within the current mining License area, as of December 31, 2025, the GC Mine, above a COG of 80g/ t equivalent silver grade (“AgEq”) [AgEq, considered Pb and Zn grades after applying the equivalent factors. AgEq = Ag+28.74*Pb+33.53*Zn], there are 18.28 Mt of

119


​

Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources at an average grade of 65 gram per tonne (“g/t”) Ag, 0.91% Pb, 2.24% Zn; and 7.36 Mt of Inferred Mineral Resources at an average grade of 75 g/t Ag, 0.84% Pb, 1.91% Zn.

The Mineral Reserve estimation work was completed by Mr. Falong Hu, Principal Mining Engineer, Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (“FAusIMM”), a full-time employee of SRK, based on the review of modifying factors supplied by GC Mine and the mine plan by Mr. Chengsen Lin, Mining Engineer of GC Mine.

The QP responsible for the Mineral Reserve is Mr Falong Hu, who visited the GC Mine between the 28 and 29 of April 2026.

Within the current mining License area and mine plan scope, as of December 31, 2025, the GC Mine, by applying the Modifying Factors, the economically mineable parts of the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources within the designed stopes, including diluting materials and allowance for losses, were classified as Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, respectively. The ROM ore is estimated based on the reference point being the primary crusher or temporary stockpile at the crusher feed.

Above a COG of 100 g/t AgEq and 130 g/t AgEq applied to Shrinkage (including overhand cut and fill (“OCAF”)) and resuing stopes, respectively, there are 6.19 Mt of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve at an average grade of 63g/t Ag, 0.91% Pb, 2.23% Zn. The estimated Mineral Reserves are shown in Table 1.2.

Due to the restriction of the TSFs capacity, there are still 3.13 Mt categorised as Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are not converted to Mineral Reserves. SVM should consider expanding the current TSF or building another TSF in order to mine this part of the resources. This requires detailed design studies to be carried out.

Development and Operations

Geotechnical and Hydrogeological Considerations

The rock mass condition is categorized as Fair to Good, and it is anticipated that the vein and host rocks in the mine area will continue to be largely competent and require minimal ground support other than in weaker ground areas. For AMC’s preliminary geotechnical assessments, minor water inflows (less than five litres per minute locally) were assumed. SRK notes that operating experience to date indicates that the assumption of minor water inflows is reasonable.

Mining Method

UG mining to date has been conducted in two Phases, and designing the third Phase, which are horizontally defined by mine sections and vertically by elevations:

●Stage 1 targeted bringing the project into production as soon as practicable using mobile, rubbertired, diesel-powered equipment (development drilling jumbo rig (“jumbo”), loader, and truck) with surface declines access down to -50 ASL.
●Stage 2 development from -50 ASL down to -300 ASL employs conventional tracked equipment (battery powered locomotives, rail cars, electric rocker shovels and pneumatic hand-held drills) via a surface shaft access and surface decline extension.
●Stage 3 is on design, which mines the Mineral Resources located between -300 ASL and -500 ASL.

The mining method employed by the mine was traditionally shrinkage and resuing stoping methods, prior to 2021. Overhand cut and fill method has been introduced as the backfill plant finished construction.

120


​

The underground infrastructure, including water supply and dewatering system, hoisting system, ventilation, power supply, compressed air supply, are well constructed for the first two Phases of mining.

The mine is scheduled to operate 8 hours per shift, 3 shifts per day, 330 days per year. The nominate capacity is to be 330 ktpa ROM plant feed.

Annual ore production is forecast to increase from the current level of approximately 345 kt to about 365 kt for the period 2026–2028 and then stabilise at around 373 kt from 2029 for the remainder of the planned mine life. The key reason of production ramp up is associated with the third Phase development and more stopes employing mobile equipment. The key target of the mine plan is to achieve the planned grade, mining more efficiently and lower the cost base. The LOM schedule is summarized in Table 1.4.

5ROM is considered feed the processing plant directly or rehandled from the temporary stockpile. Therefore, the processing plan is the same as mine schedule

Recovery Method

The GC Mine contains silver-lead-zinc polymetallic ore, with minor quantities of copper and tin available for comprehensive recovery. The processing test work conducted by the Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals in 2009 employed a preferential flotation process, sequentially yielding lead, zinc, and sulfur concentrates with favourable results, providing technical support for the design of the GC processing plant. An exploratory test on tin recovery from tailings was undertaken, achieving a recovery rate of 34% through gravity separation using classified shaking tables. Additionally, a copper-lead separation flotation test was performed on the lead concentrate, successfully producing copper concentrate.

121


​

The GC processing plant is designed with a processing capacity of 1,600 tonnes per day (“tpd”), and the grinding and flotation system consists of two parallel circuits. The original lead-zinc-sulphur sequential preferential flotation process was modified in 2013 to a lead preferential flotation, a zincsulphur mixed flotation and then zinc-sulphur separation flotation process. The actual capacity of each circuit has reached between 900 and 950 tpd. Historical production indicators are positive, with the lead concentrate averaging a lead grade of 45%, a lead recovery rate of 90%, and containing 1,500 g/t of silver with a silver recovery rate of 60%, and a zinc content of 6%. The zinc concentrate has a zinc grade of 44%, a zinc recovery rate of 89%, and contains 290 g/t of silver with a silver recovery rate of 23%. The sulphur concentrate has a sulphur grade of 45% and a sulphur recovery rate of 49%.

In 2023, the newly implemented intelligent pre-sorting system replaced the manual hand-sorting methodology, allowing for the preliminary removal of waste rock and enhancing the grade of ore fed into the mill. This advancement is particularly beneficial for the processing of low-grade ores. The system is currently undergoing continuous optimization, and it is anticipated to significantly contribute to the efficient pre-discarding of tailings, thereby yielding improved economic benefits.

The GC TSF is a dry-stacking tailings dam, located in a valley on the south side of the GC processing plant, 200 m away from the GC processing plant in a straight line. Between the GC processing plant and the TSF are the tailings dewatering station and the paste filling station. The tailings from the GC processing plant is pumped to the deep cone thickener for thickening, after which it is primarily used for the underground paste filling needs, and the remaining part is pressed and filtrated in the tailings press filter workshop, and the filter cake is transported to the TSF by the belt conveyor, which will be levelled and compacted by bulldozers and excavators. The total designed dam height of the TSF is 99.5 m (elevation of 233 m ASL), and the total storage capacity is 2,989,300 m3. At present, the tailings stacking height is 71 m (elevation of 204.5 m ASL) with the tailings stacking stock of about 1,356,000 m3 (45.4% of capacity), and the remaining storage capacity is 1,633,300m3 corresponding to a tailings stacking volume of 2,858 kt according to a tailings stacking specific gravity of 1.75t/ m3.

The GC TSF is a third-class dam with a number of displacement monitoring facilities and phreatic line monitoring systems installed to monitor the safety of the dam body and obtained the latest “Safety Production Permit” on August 31, 2023, valid until August 30, 2026. It is renewal every 3 year as the regulation requirement.

Environmental Studies, Permitting and Social or Community Impact

The GC Mine has obtained the main environmental protection-related permits required for operation, including the safety production permit, water use permit, and site discharge permit. An environmental impact assessment report for the project was prepared by Guangdong Heli Engineering Survey Institute in March 2020. Guangdong Province Environmental Protection Bureau issued aforementioned Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) approval on 13 June 2010. The EIA report covers the main production facilities including the mine site, GC processing plant and TSF.

Some treated dewatering water is reused to supplement fresh water for underground mining operations and GC processing plant production, while the remaining portion is discharged. All processing wastewater is internally recycled and not discharged externally. The project conducts comprehensive environmental monitoring every quarter, which includes water quality monitoring, noise emission and dust emission. Additionally, surface water and groundwater monitoring are conducted annually, separately during the first and second halves of the year.

The GC Mine does not cover any nature reserves, scenic spots, or cultural relics. The general project area does not include any cultural minority groups. The project area consists mostly of secondary forest land, with a few hillsides cleared for farmland. The company actively participates in a range of social welfare and charitable initiatives, such as community development, support for vulnerable

122


​

groups, educational assistance, and contributions to foundations. Moreover, it offers a variety of employment opportunities for working-age residents in the local area.

Capital Cost and Operating Cost

Forecasting of capital expenditure (“Capex”) and record of operating cost (“Opex”) for the last three fiscal years have been provided to SRK. The associated Capex for expansion development (deepening the mine) are estimated by GC Mine. The other sustainable Capex such as mine closure, facilities upgrades, and capital maintenance are also estimated. The summary of Capex is presented in Table 1.5.

Technical-Economic Analysis

The cash flow estimate includes only the revenue, costs, taxes, and other factors directly associated with GC Mine. The assumptions are as follows:

●The ROM and finial products of GC Mine, which are lead and zinc concentrates, are based on the LOM schedule.
●The local currency for the Project is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), while US dollars are used for technical-economic analysis. The exchange rate is set statically at USD1 = RMB7.12
●Annual gross revenue is calculated by applying the forecasted metal prices and payable metal percentages from contracts to the annual recovered metal for each operating year.
●SRK does not consider future inflation or currency and cost fluctuations; the cost remains constant over the LOM.
●Financing is assumed to be on a 100% equity basis; no debt or related financing costs have been included in the technical-economic analysis.
●Corporate obligations and financing costs are not considered.
●Exploration Capex, which is aimed at discovering additional Mineral Resources that are currently outside the Mineral Reserves estimates, is not considered during this analysis.
●No salvage value has been included in the technical-economic analysis.
●Working Capex will be fully recovered at the end of LOM.
●The reference date or effective date is December 31, 2025.

The technical-economic analysis was conducted using conventional Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) techniques. The projection for Project operation shows a positive economic prospect. At a discount rate of 8%, the NPV of the Project is USD 101.4 million. The NPVs at different discount rates were estimated by SRK through DCF model, presented in Table 1.7.

SRK conducted a single-factor sensitivity analysis for the Project. The analysis focused on metal prices, Capex, and Opex, each tested within a ±30% range. The results showed that the Project is most sensitive to changes in metal prices. The break-even prices (NPV=0, at 8% discount rate) are around a change of -30.5% simultaneously of silver, lead and zinc, from the base scenario prices used in the model. In summary, all the three metal prices drop to about 69.5% of the forecasting prices, the Project NPV will become negative.

Risk Assessment

SRK completed a risk assessment of the risks identified for the GC Mine in relation to their likelihood of occurrence within the LOM and consequence in accordance with Guidance Note 7 to the Listing Rules.

In general, project risk decreases from exploration, development, through to the production stage. GC Mine is at production stage.

SRK considered various technical aspects which may affect the feasibility and future cash flow and conducted a qualitative risk analysis which has been summarised in Table 1.8. In this risk analysis, various risk sources/ issues have been assessed for likelihood and consequence, and then an overall risk rating has been assigned.

Unable to achieve the anticipated performance of the X-ray intelligent sorting ("XRT intelligent sorting"), resulting in an over-estimate of metals recoveries

The test of XRT intelligent sorting achieved 41.8% of waste reject rate and metal loss of 6.43% (Pb+Zn) with waste grade of 0.33% (Pb+Zn). The installed XRT intelligent sorting facility performed poorer than the test. In the first quarter of 2024, the waste reject rate is 23.1% with the waste grade of 0.81% (Pb+Zn) and metal loss of 11.42% (Pb+Zn). The high metal loss will cause the total metal recovery decrease.

Possible

Moderate

Medium

The metals recovery decreases due to the change of the properties of plant feed ore.

The plant feed materials come from multiple ore bodies, and the ore property changes from different ore bodies. The changes will drive the adjustment of flotation parameters to keep the metals recovery. If the adjustment is not timely, the metals recovery will fall.

Conclusions and Recommendations

●The data verification shows reasonable analytical accuracy and precision. The QP considers the GC Mineral Resource database acceptable for Mineral Resource estimation.
●SRK believes the current drilling and channel sampling information is sufficiently reliable to interpret with confidence the boundaries for GC deposits and that the assay data is sufficiently reliable to support Mineral Resource estimation.
●The mine is operating at industrial good practice and with a reasonable perspective feasible extraction of the eligible Mineral Resources.
●The production process and operating parameters of the GC processing plant are suitable for the ore properties of the GC Mine. The historical performance shows that the targets of producing commercial lead concentrate and zinc concentrate have been achieved, and the recovery rates of silver, lead and zinc have also reached the design value.

127


​

●GC Mine has obtained the main environmental protection-related permits required for operation, including the safety production permit, water use permit, and site discharge permit. An EIA report for the project was prepared by Guangdong Heli Engineering Survey Institute in March 2020. Guangdong Province Environmental Protection Bureau issued aforementioned EIA approval on 13 June 2010. The EIA report covers the main production facilities including mine site, GC processing plant and TSF.
●The associated Capex for development associated with the deepening of the mine are estimated by GC Mine. The other sustainable Capex such as mine closure, facilities upgrades and capital maintenance are also estimated. GC Mine has a relative stable operation which addresses the Opex forecasting via their practice records.
●The economic analysis demonstrates the project could be economic viable operated according to the principal assumptions.
●As reviewed by SRK from the geology, exploration, data management and Mineral Resource estimation, the QP recommendations for the GC mine are indicated below:
●Regarding the sample database and QA/QC samples, SRK recommends ensuring that all records, including drillhole and channel samples, are assigned a consistent year between the collar and assay files. This will help reduce reporting discrepancies.
-Additional bulk density measurements should be conducted on representative samples with varying base metal and pyrite content.
-Bulk density measurements should also be taken from samples of the surrounding waste material.
-The umpire (check) samples from 2024 to 2025 show slightly bias results compared to the original samples in the higher end of the assay range for Ag and Zn. It is recommended that it be assessed whether the storage of samples leads to this situation, which may be related to swelling and caking during oxidation.
-In the 2024 and 2026 site underground channel sampling observed, only the larger blocks on the plastic sheet were taken, all the fines were discarded, and the sampling was biased against the hanging wall and footwall units, with a larger proportion of the mineralization zone chipped. Although SRK recognises that channel sampling is challenging due to the variable hardness of the rock units and uneven surface for sampling, SRK recommends that the chip sampling can be improved using a diamond saw to cut a channel for the chipping, which will also reduce the volume of sample and allow the full sample of coarse and fine material to be collected.

Based on the site visit and review of available technical information, and Mineral Reserve estimates, the QP recommendations for the GC mine are indicated below:

●Conducting technical studies on long-hole stoping method for the relative wider veins, and well recording the test stope data, for the improvement of mining efficiency and cost reduction.
●Conducting reconciliation on not only Mineral Resources versus Processed Feed, but also on the mineral flows, from the Mineral Resource model, grade control results, mining, then processing.
●Conducting reconciliation on exploration investment versus Mineral Resources updates to demonstrate the Capex efficiency.
●Considering utilising commercial mine planning software for mine scheduling, more efficient for modifying.
●As part of ongoing operations at the mine, geotechnical and ground support aspects should be continuously reviewed in a formal and recordable manner, bearing in mind previous recommendations, local and mine-wide operating experience in all rock types encountered, any advisable data collection, and looking to future mining development.
●Conduct a TSF expansion study or the design of a second tailings storage facility for the future LOM expansion.

The following is a summary from the Condor 2025 Technical Report and is based on the assumptions, qualifications and procedures which are not fully described herein. The full text of the Condor 2025 Technical Report which is available for review on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or on EDGAR at www.sec.gov is incorporated by reference in this AIF.

Introduction

This report has been prepared by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. on behalf of Silvercorp Metals Inc. (Silvercorp). The purpose of this report is to provide a technical report that documents all supporting work, methods used and results relevant to a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) that fulfills the reporting requirements in accordance with NI 43-101.

Property Description and Ownership

The Condor Project is located in the Province of Zamora-Chinchipe, near the Ecuador-Peru border and the southern end of the Cordillera del Condor. The Project is approximately 400 kilometres (km) southeast of Quito, 149 km east of the city of Loja, and 76 km east of the town of Zamora.

The ownership history of the Condor Project began with artisanal and small-scale miners operating in the area pre-1988. In 1988, modern exploration commenced through a joint venture between ISSFA and Prominex UK. This partnership lasted until 1991 when Prominex UK withdrew, and in 1993, TVX Gold, Inc. (TVX) and Chalupas Mining joined the venture. They remained involved until 2000, after which Goldmarca (formerly Hydromet Technologies Ltd.) formed a new joint venture with ISSFA in 2002. Goldmarca was rebranded to Ecometals Ltd. in 2007 and continued operations until the Ecuadorian government imposed a moratorium on mineral exploration from April 2008 to November 2009. In 2010, Ecometals sold its interest to Ecuador Capital, which was later renamed Ecuador Gold and Copper Corp. (EGX). Lumina Gold Corp (Lumina) acquired EGX in 2016, and in 2018, Lumina spun out Luminex Resources Corp. (Luminex), leading to the Condor Project being 90% owned by Condormining, a Luminex subsidiary, with ISSFA retaining a 10% stake. However, ISSFA has made no funding contribution to the continuing operation of the project; consequently, its share has been diluted to 1.3% to date. In January 2024, Adventus Mining Corporation (Adventus) merged with Luminex. In July 2024, Silvercorp acquired Adventus and assumed the ownership of the Condor Project.

​

Geology and Mineralization

The Condor Project is located in the Cordillera del Condor in the Zamora copper-gold metallogenic belt. The Project area comprises epithermal gold-silver, porphyry copper-gold ±molybdenum, and numerous alluvial gold deposits.

The Condor Project’s geology is both diverse and complex, particularly in the Condor North area. This region is characterized by distinctive low- to intermediate-sulphidation epithermal vein swarms located in the northern part. These vein swarms form a series of north-northwest-striking, narrow, high-grade gold and electrum-bearing manganoan carbonate veins, often accompanied by base metals and hosted in dacite porphyry. The Condor breccia, dyke, and dome complex is further divided into four main zones: Camp, Los Cuyes, Soledad and Enma. Gold-silver mineralization in these zones is linked with sphalerite-pyrite/marcasite veins, which typically occur within breccias, along the contacts of rhyolite dykes, and as replacements and disseminations. These veins are often disrupted by post-mineral extensional faults.

Camp: The Camp deposit features gold and silver mineralization linked to a swarm of northwest-striking rhyolite-dacite dykes, likely originating from a larger buried rhyolite intrusion. These dykes are concentrated at the contact between a volcanic/intrusive complex and a major granodiorite intrusion. The mineralized zone, dipping steeply at 85° to the northeast, extends over 700 m along strike and is 200 m wide. Gold occurs within veins containing pyrite, marcasite, iron-rich sphalerite (marmatite), galena, ± chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, quartz, and rhodochrosite gangue. Host rocks include altered granodiorites, breccias, flowbanded rhyolite, and phreatomagmatic breccia. The area is capped by 30 to 80 m of trachyte to rhyolitic welded tuff, with the Camp ridge bounded by the Camp Fault and Piedras Blancas Fault.

Los Cuyes: Los Cuyes is hosted within an oval-shaped diatreme measuring 450 m northeast-southwest, 300 m northwest-southeast, and extending to at least 350 m in depth. This diatreme, resembling an inverted cone plunging approximately 50° to the southeast, consists of an outer shell of polymictic phreatomagmatic breccia and an internal fill of well-sorted rhyolitic lapilli tuffs, breccias, and volcanic sandstones. Amphibolite and quartz arenite fragments occur around its periphery, with dacite and rhyolite ring dykes intruding the steep margins. Lithological contacts, such as dykes cutting through the diatreme and its outer breccia shell, favoured vein development. The mineralization and alteration at Los Cuyes post-date all local rock types, including blocks of the Hollín Formation, indicating that the mineralization is post-Early Cretaceous.

Soledad: The Soledad Zone features a 700-m diameter oval-shaped rhyolite intrusion within the Zamora Batholith, surrounded by discontinuous pyritic breccias. The overall mineralization at Soledad is described as a north-south elongated wine glass-shaped body, tapering between 200 to 300 m below the surface and extending approximately 110 m northwest by 50 m northeast. Sphalerite transitions to pyrite as the dominant sulphide at around 100 m below the surface, leading to diminished gold and silver grades similar to Los Cuyes.

Enma: Gold and silver mineralization at Enma is hosted in a west-northwest-trending rhyolitic breccia that occurs at the contact between andesite lapilli tuffs and the Zamora batholith. The deposit has dimensions of 280 m east-northeast, is approximately 20 to 75 m wide, and has a vertical extent of 350 m. Alteration mineralogy is primarily chlorite with minor quartz-sericite ± alunite-kaolinite. Gold is associated with pyritesphalerite-quartz and locally rhodochrosite veins. At depths greater than 200 m, gold-poor, pyrite-pyrrhotite ± chalcopyrite veins are more dominant.

130


​

Camp, Los Cuyes, Soledad and Enma Deposits are consistent with low- to intermediate sulphidation epithermal mineralization. Characteristics of such deposits are:

●Occur at convergent plate settings, typically in calc-alkaline volcanic arcs
●Form at shallow depths (<2 km) from near-neutral pH, sulfur-poor hydrothermal fluids, often of meteoric origin, with metals derived from underlying porphyry intrusions.
●Structural permeability created by hydrothermal fluid over-pressuring allows for mineralized fluids to permeate, with gold precipitated by boiling.
●Sub-types include sulphide-poor deposits with rhyolites, sulphide-rich deposits with andesites/rhyodacites, and sulphide-poor deposits with alkali rocks.
●Hydrothermal alteration is zoned and subtle, characterized by sericite, illite, smectite, and carbonate
●Features quartz, quartz-carbonate, and carbonate veins with various textures
●Sulphide content varies (1-20%), typically <5%, with pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and low copper (chalcopyrite).
●High gold, silver, arsenic, antimony, mercury, zinc, lead, selenium, and low copper, tellurium

Exploration Status

Since 1994, the Condor Project has undergone extensive drilling by various operators. The drilling campaigns of Condor Project from 1994 to 2023, totaling 538 holes with 157,312 m, focused primarily on the Condor North Area and Condor Central Area.

No QAQC data are available for the TVX drilling programme.

From 2004 to August 2007, the Certified Reference Materials (CRMs or Standards), blanks and quarter core duplicate samples were used on the Project. The QAQC procedure from July 2007 to 2011 involved inserting a blank every 6 samples, a standard after 7 samples, a duplicate after 6 samples, followed by another blank. Checks by SRK indicate that this methodology was not strictly adhered to in terms of the number of blanks and standards. From July 2007, OREAS standards and blanks were used, mine waste material was no longer used.

During the Goldmarca / Ecuador Gold and Copper Corp. (EGX) drill programs from 2012 to 2014, CRMS, blanks and quarter core duplicate sample were inserted after every 20 samples as part of the QAQC procedure.

Quality control failures for programs from 2012–2015 were addressed with programs of remedial assay analysis.

During the 2017–2018 drill program, QAQC samples are inserted after every six core samples. These include three certified standards (high, medium and low gold grades), a blank, and a coarse duplicate

During the 2019–2021 drill program, QAQC samples are inserted with the insert rate about 2% - 4% for each type, including the certified standards, blank, coarse duplicate and fine duplicates.

The author considers that quality control measures adopted for assaying of the Condor Mineral Resource drilling have established that the assaying is representative and free of any biases or other factors that may materially impact the reliability of the analytical results. The author considers that the sample preparation, security and analytical procedures adopted for Condor drilling provide an adequate basis for the current Mineral Resource estimates.

131


​

SRK conducted a site inspection of the Condor Project from June 19 to 20, 2024. The inspection was led by Principal Geologist Mark Wanless (QP) from SRK Canada, Falong, Hu (Principal Mining Consultant) and Yanfang Zhao (Principal Geologist) from SRK China, who carried out a series of verification steps. These included a thorough examination of the Project area, meetings with company representatives, and discussions with geologists regarding sample collection, preparation, storage, and QAQC procedures. The team also reviewed geological interpretations, inspected outcrops, mineralization, and fault structures, and verified drillhole sealing marks. Additionally, they visually checked stratigraphy against interpreted drilling sections and visited the drill core storage facility and core catalog room to assess the company’s core storage protocols and procedures.

The QP was provided the database named CN_DH_Export_Database_8Sept2023.xlsx which covers the QAQC data for several deposits from 1994 to 2023. A review of historical QAQC data was conducted by SRK.

Based on SRK’s site visit, review of the previous and ongoing exploration datasets, communication with the Condor’s technical personnel and consideration of the mineralization characteristics of the deposit, SRK is satisfied with the quality and result of the sample preparation and assay conducted by related analytical laboratories. The analytical procedures are consistent with generally accepted industry practices and the primary sample results are therefore suitably reliable for use in Mineral Resource estimation.

Mineral Resource Estimates

Condor Project comprises several deposits, however this section only focuses on the Camp, Los Cuyes, Soledad and Enma deposits in the Condor North area, which are included in the Mineral Resources estimation.

The Mineral Resource estimation work of Condor Project was completed by SRK in 2025. The estimates are based on drilling samples information available up to 2023. The QP believes the drilling information is sufficiently reliable to interpret with confidence the boundaries for the deposits and that the assay data are sufficiently reliable to support Mineral Resource estimation. Mr. Mark Wanless (Pr.Sci.Nat, FGSSA), and Ms. Yanfang Zhao (MAusIMM), who are Principal Geologists from SRK have reviewed the drillhole database, geological model and the mineralisation domains generated by Silvercorp, made some adjustment, performed the grade estimation, classified the Mineral Resources and prepared the Mineral Resource estimate using Datamine, Isatis.Neo and Leapfrog Geo and Edge.

The Qualified Person responsible for the Mineral Resources is Mr. Mark Wanless, who is a full time employee of SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (SRK Canada) and registered with the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professionals as Pr.Sci.Nat, 400178/05, Fellow of the Geological Society of South Africa, Member of the Geostatistical Association of South Africa and a Member of the South African Institute for Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM). Mr. Mark Wanless visited the Condor Project between the 19th and 20th of June 2024.

The Mineral Resources have been estimated in accordance with generally accepted CIM Definition Standards and are reported in compliance with NI 43-101.

The Company considered future operation on Soledad and Enma using surface mining. However, at Camp and Los Cuyes the Company plans underground mining due to the steep terrain conditions, relative complexity, high grade tabular mineralization, and that the surface infrastructure might best be located in Camp and/or Los Cuyes area.

The optimization parameters reflect a conventional open pit operation although the cost and revenue assumptions on Soledad and Enma used are not related to any mine plan or financial analysis, they were used only to define the reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (RPEEE) envelope, and the figures were derived from the current information.

132


​

For the higher-grade and thicker tabular domains at Camp and Los Cuyes, there is the opportunity of using a bulk mining method such as long hole open stoping for underground extraction. For the open pit deposits, the Mineral Resource is constrained by a conceptual pit, designed using Whittle software. For the underground Mineral Resources, SRK used a Mineable Shapes Optimiser (MSO) to outline areas of the mineralization domain that have suitable continuity and grade to sustain underground mining operations. The summary of the estimated Mineral Resources is shown in Table 1-1 for Mineral Resources with underground mining potential, and in Table 1-2 for Mineral Resources with open pit mining potential.

The commodity prices are sourced from an independent analyst, Consensus Market Forecast (CMF) for gold, silver, lead, and zinc. The projected outlook (in real USD) was issued by CMF in November 2025. The long-term prices were used for the consideration of the Reasonable Prospect for Eventual Economic Extraction (RPEEE), with a 15% premium used for the Mineral Resource evaluation.

Within the current mining license area, as of 30 November 2025, Mineral Resources are reported for the Condor Project, above a COG of 0.5 g/t and 0.4 g/t gold equivalent for Enma and Soledad respectively which are amenable for open pit extraction.

Notes: Mineral Resources are reported within a MSO shape for Camp and Los Cuyes with no additional cut-off value applied. Including must take material. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate. The Mineral Resources are reported on a 100% basis, and not the portion attributable to Silvercorp.

The resource statement does not include mineralization in the Halo domain of the Los Cuyes, and its economic potential remains to be further investigated in future studies. Optimisations are undertaken using a gold price of USD/oz 3,000, silver price of USD/oz 40, zinc price of USD/lb 1.47 and lead price of USD/lb 1.05.

Notes: Mineral Resources are reported in relation to a conceptual pit shell for Soledad and Enma. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate. The Mineral Resources are reported on a 100% basis, and not the portion attributable to Silvercorp.

Open pit Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t AuEq for Enma and 0.4 g/t AuEq for Soledad. Open pit optimizations have been determined using a gold price of USD/oz 3,000, silver price of USD/oz 40, zinc price of USD/lb 1.47 and lead price of USD/lb 1.05.

Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing

A large amount of metallurgical testwork was carried out by Plenge laboratory in Peru between 2020 and 2023 using the mineralized samples from the domains of Camp, and Los Cuyes. The metallurgical testwork included the gravity concentration, whole-ore cyanide leach, bulk flotation, cyanide leach of the bulk flotation concentrate, and sequential selective flotation of gold/silver/lead/zinc from the cyanide leached residue. Some early testwork was completed by Goldmarca Mining Peru, Independent Metallurgical Laboratories and Lehne & Associates Applied Mineralogy.

Most of gold is free milling. The whole-ore cyanide leach resulted in gold recovery on the order of 96% for the Camp domain and 89% for the Los Cuyes domain. A significant amount of gold is recoverable by gravity concentration. The preliminary gravity concentration testwork achieved 34% gold recovery for the Camp domain, 23% gold recovery for the Los Cuyes domain. These results indicate that the flowsheet of gravity concentration followed by cyanide leach is preferred so that the final product will be gold/silver dore. Subject to the metal prices and operating cost, the remaining gold, silver, lead and zinc in the cyanide leached residue may be recovered by selective flotation to generate the marketable lead/silver concentrate and zinc/silver concentrate.

Mine Geotechnical

A reasonable drillhole based geotechnical data set has been established for both the Camp and Los Cuyes areas, including an extensive point load test data set for each area. The majority but not all veins have sufficient geotechnical data covering the current mining areas. 3D geological models have been built for both areas including a limited structural model.

134


​

Camp geotechnical conditions are generally good with little variability, and only occasional weaker or altered zones concurrent with the NW veins. The stope design at Camp includes options for both longitudinal and transverse orientations with a maximum long-wall hydraulic radius of 6.3 m (20mH x 35mL).

Geotechnical conditions at Los Cuyes are generally fair to good with evidence of adverse matrix alteration or matrix weakening associated with some geological contacts which results in the presence of poor ground conditions. Longitudinal and transverse stope designs have maximum long-wall hydraulic radii of 4.2 m (20mH x 15mL) and 4.7m (20mH x 18mL) respectively.

Ground support has been designed for all permanent excavations using resin grouted rebar, and temporary areas using inflatable (Swellex or Omega type) anchors; walls and back require welded wire mesh and an allocation of shotcrete has been included for areas of broken or lower quality ground. Ground support for stoping assumes cable bolting is required for all transverse stope backs, and for longitudinal stopes over 6.0mW (hangingwall to footwall distance).

Future geotechnical work should include: geotechnical re-logging of historic core in the Los Cuyes area; dedicated geotechnical drill holes in particularly the footwall and critical infrastructure areas; an intact rock properties laboratory testing program; update to the structural model and extents of weakening alteration types; review of the temporary pillar stability strategy; and numerical modeling of stope and pillar geometries, and global mine extraction sequence.

Mining Method

The underground mine design is based on updated geological block models that incorporate the latest resource estimation and NSR values derived from metal prices, metallurgical recoveries, and operating cost assumptions. The NSR was used to define stope envelopes and establish the economic limits for underground extraction. Both the Camp and Los Cuyes zones contain multiple steeply dipping, gold-bearing vein systems with variable widths and grades that are amenable to longhole open stoping methods

The proposed mine will be accessed via a main portal at approximately 1,100 m elevation, providing access to both Camp and Los Cuyes through ramps and production levels. The life-of-mine plan spans approximately 13 years of production, excluding the pre-production and construction period. The design supports a nominal production rate of 1.8 million tonnes per annum, or 5,000 tonnes per day (tpd).

Each deposit is subdivided into five mining fronts to facilitate concurrent development and maintain consistent mill feed production. Stope sequencing within each mining front will follow a bottom-up extraction sequence. The overall mining sequence between fronts will proceed top-down, allowing for progressive access and ventilation development. At the mining level scale, both transverse primary–secondary stoping and longitudinal retreat stoping methods will be employed, depending on vein geometry and mineralization thickness.

Run-of-mine (ROM) material will be hauled to surface using 50-tonne capacity trucks and directly dumped onto the mill ROM pad for processing. Waste rock generated underground will be hauled by 30-tonne capacity ejector-type trucks either to mined-out stopes for backfilling or, when backfill voids are unavailable, to a surface temporary waste stockpile.

Backfill will be primarily sourced from development waste, with any shortfall supplemented by truck-hauled waste material or gravel aggregate obtained from nearby riverbeds.

135


​

The mine ventilation system is designed to deliver approximately 675 cubic metres per second (m³/s) of airflow to support a maximum production rate of 5,000 tpd. This capacity includes a contingency allowance comprising a 20% leakage factor and a 10% transition factor. Fresh air intake will be provided through the main adit and a network of fresh-air raises (FARs), while exhaust air will exit through the return-air raise (RAR) system. Both the FAR and RAR will be developed using raise boring methods. Each of the Camp and Los Cuyes zones will be equipped with dedicated FAR and RAR systems, ensuring sufficient airflow capacity for underground operations.

Underground main sumps and pump stations will be installed at approximately 100 m vertical intervals, starting from the bottom level of the mining front below the main adit level. Water collected at each level will be pumped in stages to the sump at the next higher level and ultimately discharged to the surface via the main adit. No main sumps or pump stations are planned above the main adit level, as water in these areas will be drained by gravity to the adit level before being directed to the surface.

ROM Material in Mine Plan

There are no mineral reserves declared for the Condor project. In the PEA, Indicated, and Inferred Mineral Resource categories, were considered for inclusion into the mine plans. The resource block models were used for the designs of mining shapes targeting all mineral resources within a mining shape above in situ net smelter return (NSR) cut-off values (COV) of $105/t for the Camp zone and $100/t for the Los Cuyes zone respectively, which were based on gold price of $2,450/oz, silver price of $27.25/oz, lead price of $0.88/lb, zinc price of 1.20/lb, initial estimated total site costs of $95, and varied initial metallurgical recoveries with rock types provided by processing QP. Mining recovery and dilution parameters were applied based on the selected mining methods and geotechnical considerations. External dilution ranges from 7% to 68% depending on the mining method. Mining recoveries vary from 85% to 95% depending on the mining method.

For reporting purposes, a separate set of commodity prices of $2,600/oz for gold, $31.00/oz for silver, $0.91/lb for lead, and $1.27/lb for zinc was used to derive updated NSR formulae. Table 1-3 presents the ROM material estimate by resource class.

The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

Notes:

1. Totals may not sum due to rounding.

2. The estimated run-of-mine is partly based on Inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment based on these mineral resources will be realized.

3. The reader is cautioned that the mineralized material should not be misconstrued as a mineral resource or a mineral reserve. The quantities and grade estimates are derived from the block model and include mining dilution and losses.

Mine Production Schedule

The Condor Project is planned to be contractor-operated for the full duration of the mine life, from start-up through final production. Collaring of the main adit is planned to begin in September of Year-2, initiating underground development activities. Total ROM material mined from Year-1 through Year 1 is estimated at approximately 1.37 million tonnes (Mt), consistent with the planned mill construction and commissioning timeline.

Year 1 marks the start of commercial production, during which mine output continues to ramp up until steady-state ROM throughput of 5,000 tpd or 1.8 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) is reached in Year 2. Steady production is maintained from Year 2 through Year 12, with Year 13 serving as the final year of mining. The mine schedule is based on 360 operating days per year to allow for routine maintenance and operational downtime. Total LOM ROM material is estimated at 21.34 Mt, grading an average NSR value of $179/t.

LOM lateral development is estimated at approximately 136.7 (km), comprising 42.6 km of capitalized development and 94.1 km of operating development. LOM vertical development totals 4.8 km, all of which is capitalized.

Total LOM waste rock broken is estimated at 3.70 Mt. The underground backfill requirement is 12.34 Mt, to be supplied by approximately 3.70 Mt of development waste and 8.65 Mt of riverbed gravels. As a result, no waste rock is expected to remain on surface at the end of the mine life.

Definition drilling costs have been included in the operating cost estimates; however, a detailed definition drilling schedule has not yet been developed.

​

Water Management

A scoping level design for a water management system was prepared. The objectives of the water management system were to provide sufficient water for processing, segregate non-contact and contact water and treat discharge contact water. The sizing of water management infrastructure (e.g. diversions, channels, ponds and the water treatment plant) were not based on climate and hydrologic data collected from site. Climate and hydrologic data from a nearby site (

Sources of contact water are groundwater inflows to the underground mine, runoff from the waste rock pad and process plant pad and excess process water from the tailings storage facility. Contact water from the waste rock and process plant is assumed to be slightly acidic with elevated metal concentrations and the tailings water has a circum-neutral pH and elevated metal concentrations. Contact water is conveyed to a pond from which influent to the water treatment plant is drawn. The water treatment process is high density sludge lime treatment to neutralize acidity and precipitate metals. The sludge from the treatment process will discharge into the tailings line and be deposited in the tailings storage facility.

Costs for the water management and treatment system were estimated.

Recovery Methods and Processing

There are several distinct mineralization zones within the Condor property. The study focuses on the Camp Zone and the Los Cuyes Zone. The Condor process flowsheet is developed based on the metallurgical test work results described in Section 13 and the mine plan presented in Section 16. The primary metal values are gold and silver, with minor associated values from lead and zinc. The metallurgical test results indicate that the Condor mineralization is amenable to gold and silver recovery through a combination of gravity concentration and cyanidation. Although the lead and zinc grades of the mineralization are relatively low, the lead and zinc minerals also respond well to a conventional flotation process.

The proposed process plant will treat the mineralized material at a milling rate of 5,000 t/d, or 1.8 Mt/a, with an average LOM head grade of 2.15 g/t gold and 14.2 g/t silver. The overall gold and silver recoveries to doré in cyanidation circuit are estimated to be approximately 93% and 46%, respectively. A two-stage grinding circuit, integrated with a gravity concentration, is proposed to grind the cyanide leach feed to 80% passing (P80) approximately 74 µm. The ground mill feed is processed in a carbon-in-pulp (CIP) cyanidation circuit. The loaded carbon is washed and stripped, and resulting pregnant solution is treated by an electrowinning unit to recover gold and silver, producing gold-silver doré. The leach residue is treated to destroy residual weak acid dissociable (WAD) cyanide. Subsequently, the leach residue is further processed by conventional differential flotation to produce marketable silver-lead and zinc concentrates separately. The flotation tailings is thickened and pumped to Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) for storage.

Tailings Management

A cross-valley embankment TSF was designed to retain conventional slurry. The TSF location is approximately 3 km southwest of the proposed processing plant and was selected after a comparison of several options based on the embankment volume to storage capacity ratio and the TSF catchment area. The TSF was designed to accommodate 21.3 Mt of tailings over the life of the mine. The zoned rockfill embankment will be constructed in stages using downstream construction methods over the mine life to suit tailings and water storage requirements. A 40-m high starter dam will be constructed to accommodate the first two years of production followed by five raises throughout the 13 year mine life.

​

Environmental

The Project currently holds all necessary environmental permits for the advanced exploration phase and complies with all applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

In 2015, Condor project obtained EIA certification, granting them an environmental license for advanced exploration.

A new EIS report was submitted to the Ministry of Environment in March 2025, to obtain a new environmental permit for exploitation (the current one is for exploration only), under the regime of Small Mining. With this new environmental permit, underground development can occur to provide access for underground resource definition drill programs. Currently, the report has been reviewed and approved by various functional departments of the ministry, with a final statement of approval to be announced by the regularization directory of the ministry. Once the approval of the EIS is announced, the PPC process can be initiated to get the approval or consent of the local communities. Silvercorp project team has been working together with the local communities to get their social consent. Once the PPC is completed and assuming it is in favour of the proposed project, the ministry can issue the new environmental permit. The EIS announcement is expected to be delivered prior to the end of 2025.

Illegal and informal mining represent a high risk, as they operate within and around the project’s concession areas. The Shuar Indigenous communities are vulnerable to accepting the presence of informal and illegal miners due to limited State support, poverty, and weakened social organizations. Silvercorp recognize this risk and are developing a strategy to address this risk. Additionally, employment demands must comply with Ecuadorian law, which requires that 80% of workers be local residents.

Economic Analysis

The Condor Gold Project has been evaluated on a discounted cash flow basis in constant 2025 US dollars assuming all equity project financing. Economic results are presented for the entire project. SRK understands that as of the date of this report Silvercorp owns 98.73% of the Condor Gold Project through its ownership of Condormining S.A.

The economic analysis includes capital costs that are forecast to be incurred after the start of a two-year construction period. Condor Gold Project expenditures that will be incurred prior to this point, such as costs for further exploration drilling, field investigations and analysis, more detailed technical and environmental studies, and surface rights land acquisition, are excluded from the PEA economic analysis.

Base case economic results are summarized in Table 1-4. The results of the analysis show the Condor mineral resources to be potentially viable and relatively strong project economics. At a base case gold price of $2,600/oz, the potential pre-tax present value of the net cash flow at the start of the projected two-year construction period using a 5% discount rate (NPV5%) is estimated at $720M, and potential project post-tax NPV5% is estimated at $522M. Potential internal rates of return (IRR) are respectively 36% pre-tax and 29% post-tax.

At the base case gold price and project cost estimates payback of the initial capital is forecast to occur in the third year of the 13-year operating mine life. The payback period is defined as the time after process plant start-up that is required to recover the initial expenditures incurred developing the Condor Gold Project. At this point in time the project’s cumulative undiscounted net cash flow is zero.

* Based on World Gold Council June 27,2013 Press Release: "Guidance Note on Non-GAAP Metrics - All-In Sustaining Costs and All-in Costs"

The sensitivity analysis was performed on the base case considering variations in gold price, operating cost, and capital cost.

Like most greenfield mining projects, the key economic indicators of NPV5% and IRR are most sensitive to change in gold price (i.e. revenue), as it affects directly the revenue stream. A 10% reduction from the US$2,600/oz base case gold price reduces Condor’s post-tax NPV5% and IRR by 28.5% and 6 percentage, respectively. A 10% increase from the US$2,600/oz base case gold price increases Condor’s post-tax NPV5% and IRR by 28.5% and 5 percentage, respectively. The sensitivity analysis shows that the project is less sensitive to operating cost and capital expenditure.

The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

Conclusions and Recommendations

Silvercorp has reviewed, re-logged, and remodelled the mineralization at the Condor Project. At the Los Cuyes and Camp deposits the updated model of mineralization has included identification of several highgrade tabular domains which are potentially amenable to extraction using underground mining methods. At Soledad, Enma and outside of the high-grade domains at Los Cuyes Silvercorp have modelled a lower grade disseminated mineralization which has the potential for extraction using an open pit mining method.

This mineralization interpretation at Los Cuyes is a change from the previous model which only considered a disseminated mineralization style, and did not isolate the high-grade zones separately. For some domains at Los Cuyes (such as the LCW domain) the data strongly support the revised interpretation, with good continuity in the mineralization observed over the project area. While for other domains, the continuity is less clear, and the quantity of data supporting these is less, resulting in lower confidence in these interpretations. The lateral extents of some of the domains are based on wider spaced drilling which naturally carries some additional risk to the confidence in the interpretation of the domain continuity.

At Camp, the previous models relied on interpolated domain definition using indicators, and the current interpretation is supported by a more geologically rigorous interpretation using a combination of the grade and geological logs to link up intersections between drill holes into more coherent and continuous domains.

The geological interpretation at Soledad and Enma is not as well developed as that of Los Cuyes and Camp, relying on grade shells to constrain the mineralization. At Soledad, there is sufficient dense sampling in several locations to confirm the continuity of the mineralization despite the lower understanding of the mineralization controls, and SRK considers this sufficient to support an Indicated Mineral Resource classification.

For all the deposits, the metallurgical test work indicated that there are reasonable prospects for achieving the recoveries applied to the economic assessment. However, further work is required to be able to confirm the optimal processing configuration for each style of mineralization. As such, there is a risk that these recovery factors may change with additional test work and depending on the ultimate processing flow sheet that is selected if the project is developed.

To confirm the interpretation of the high-grade domains at Camp and Los Cuyes, SRK recommends that an exploration program should be undertaken. Silvercorp has planned an initial exploration program of underground drilling program from an exploration drive (pending the approval of an environmental permit which is currently in progress to intersect the mineralization, and to provide platforms for drilling which will allow for better targeted drilling of shorter holes from the underground development. The cost of the development and a 30,000 m drilling program is estimated at US$10.5M.

Geotechnical confidence at Los Cuyes should be improved by expanding core-based data coverage through re-logging or machine-learning analysis of historical drill core, supplemented by dedicated oriented geotechnical drilling with focus on hangingwall, vein, footwall and critical infrastructure areas. Laboratory strength testing to confirm intact rock strength for dominant lithologies and correlations for point-load testing. The structural model and geotechnical domains should be updated to reflect structure, alteration, and rock mass variability, and used to reassess pillar stability and refine stope designs. These updates should be validated through numerical modeling of stopes, pillars, and the overall mine extraction sequence to confirm ground stability and design assumptions.

141


​

The updated block models for the Camp and Los Cuyes zones provide a robust foundation for mine planning, incorporating NSR values derived from metallurgical recoveries, processing costs, and metal prices to support realistic economic evaluation, stope design, and cut-off grade determination. The selected longhole stoping method is technically appropriate for the steeply dipping vein systems, with preliminary designs indicating that orebody geometry and geotechnical conditions can sustain stable stopes with acceptable dilution and recovery. The main portal at approximately 1,100 m elevation provides efficient access for haulage, ventilation, and services, and the mine plan defines an operating life of approximately 13 years (excluding pre-production development) at a steady-state throughput of 1.8 Mtpa (5,000 tpd) from the Camp and Los Cuyes zones.

To advance the project to PFS level, metal prices, treatment charges, and recoveries should be rebenchmarked and sensitivity analyses completed to validate NSR cut-offs, while stope geometries should be refined using updated geotechnical and structural data and validated through numerical modeling or trial stope simulations. Further work is also required to evaluate backfill options, confirm pillar stability, and optimize ramp and level spacing to balance capital efficiency and production flexibility. A detailed mine scheduling study should be completed to confirm production targets and ore delivery consistency, supported by a review of mobile equipment fleet sizing, utilization, and ventilation compatibility, including potential adoption of low-emission equipment. In parallel, the design of key underground infrastructure systems, including power, pumping, dewatering, and materials handling, should be advanced to a PFS level of definition.

No fatal flaws related to water management have been identified; however, the current level of site data is insufficient to support detailed system design. Advancement of the project requires additional studies to characterize climate, hydrology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, and water quality, including investigation of waste rock, tailings, quarry materials, and baseline water conditions, with particular attention to potential mercury contamination from artisanal mining. A comprehensive program should include installation of meteorological and hydrologic gauging stations, characterization of river and creek flows and floodplains near planned infrastructure, assessment of groundwater conditions and geotechnical properties within water management footprints, and development of an integrated site-wide water balance. Hydrogeological field data should be collected through exploration or geotechnical drilling, including hydraulic testing and monitoring well installation, with targeted testing of geological structures that may represent dominant groundwater inflow pathways.

A proposed TSF located 3 km southwest of the processing plant is designed to accommodate 21.3 Mt of tailings over the life of the mine. A 40-m high starter dam will be constructed to accommodate the first two years of production, followed by five raises throughout the 13-year mine life. The cost of this facility will be US$91.8M, with initial capital cost estimated at $18.1M.

A required upgrade to the current Cumbaratza substation includes a new bay with 138/69 kV and transformer of 25 MVA to supply power to the mine in 69 kV. An overhead power transmission line with single-circuit configuration of Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced (ACAR) with incorporated Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) Project Infrastructure is required to transfer power to the project. An independent 13.8 kV feeder from the main switchgear is required for each mine with a 13.88/4.16 kV substation, switchgear, and 4.16 kV feeder cables to the portable underground substations. A single 13.8/4.16 kV transformer will power the mill motors at medium voltage, all others are 13.8/0.48 kV for primarily low voltage motors. Dry-type transformers are considered for environmental, safety and ease of installation criteria.

The social context surrounding the project is marked by the expansion of informal and illegal mining, the vulnerability of Shuar communities, and the growing local demand for employment and services. Silvercorp is aware of this risk and are developing a strategy to address the social risks associated with development in this region in order to secure a social license to operate the Condor Project. Compliance with national labor regulations and proactive management of population dynamics will be essential to ensure the project’s long-term social viability and positive community relations.

The economic analysis indicates that the Condor Project is potentially favourable, with a sensitivity analysis demonstrating that project value is most strongly influenced by gold price, followed by capital costs and, to a lesser extent, operating costs. A key project risk is the potential for gold prices to underperform the longterm assumptions applied in this study, which would materially impact economic outcomes. Additional fiscal risk exists related to potential unforeseen taxation; however, the assumption that the project, as a gold mining operation and exporter, would not be subject to Ecuadorian VAT or customs duties, or would be eligible for full VAT recovery during pre-production and operations, is supported by current mining regulations and publicly available information, but should be formally confirmed with the relevant Ecuadorian tax authorities

Prior work by other consultants have provided more detailed reviews of sampling, assaying, and laboratory QA/QC practices. The reader is referred to a number of previous Resource Estimate and technical reports prepared for the Chaarat ZAAV Project, with particular emphasis on the published reports by SRK Consulting (South Africa), 2009, Wardell Armstrong International (UK), 2012, “Chaarat Project Resource Update”, effective date of report: March 2012; GeoSystems International Inc. “Chaarat Gold Project, Republic of Kyrgyzstan, effective date report: 19 October 2014” and “Mineral Resource update Tulkubash zone, Chaarat Gold Project, Republic of Kyrgyzstan, effective date of report: 5 February, 2017”; Tetra Tech (UK), 2018, “Bankable Feasibility Study for the Tulkubash Gold Project, Kyrgyz Republic”, effective date of report: 25 April 2018; Logiproc (South Africa), 2019, “Tulkubash Gold Project Bankable Feasibility Study Update Report”, effective date: August 2019; Logiproc (South Africa), 2021, “Tulkubash Gold Project Bankable Feasibility Study Update Report”, effective date: May 2021. The classification of Mineral Resources in earlier reports was conducted in accordance with the JORC Code and its associated guidelines. Subsequent reports after those dates were also reviewed, with particular attention given to internal documents developed by Chaarat Gold Holdings Ltd. By Mr. Dimitar Lazarov Dimitrov MAIG, “Kyzyltash Gold Project Mineral Resource update, date: October 15th, 2024” and “Tulkubash Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate, date: April 2022”.

Members of Silvercorp’s technical services team conducted a site visit to the sample preparation and assay laboratory (SAEL laboratories) in Kara Balta, which is utilized for analytical purposes related to the project. Based on direct observations and the findings of prior consultants, the QPs consider the sample database to be meeting the best industry standards and correctly represented in this report, and to be of sufficient quality to support Mineral Resource estimation for the Tulkubash and Kyzyltash deposits.

Geological Setting and Mineralization

The Chaarat Property is situated in a vast Geological Belt located within the extensive Tien Shan Metallogenic Belt, a geological formation stretching over 2,500 kilometers that was created during the Hercynian mountain-building period. This belt is a classic example of a fold and thrust belt, formed by the collision of tectonic plates. The Tien Shan belt is comprised of three main tectono-stratigraphic units, which are separated by significant structural zones. These units are interpreted as accretionary prisms that developed at the edge of the ancient Eurasian continent.

The property itself lies within the Middle Tien Shan province, which is made up of tectonic fragments of rocks dating from the Ordovician to Carboniferous periods. The Middle Tien Shan extends in a roughly east-west direction, with a width ranging from 20 to 100 kilometers to the south of the Northern Tien Shan. A major geological feature, the Talas-Fergana transverse fault, divides this province into two distinct parts: the Naryn sector to the east and the Chatkal sector to the west.

The northern boundary of the Middle Tien Shan is defined by the Nikolayev’s fault (also referred to as Nikolayev’s line), while its southern boundary is marked by the Atbashy Inylchek fault in the Naryn sector and the Kara-Suu fault in the Chatkal sector.

Structurally, the eastern and western sectors of the Middle Tien Shan show notable differences. In the Naryn sector, the folded geological structures predominantly have an east west orientation. In contrast, the folded structures in the Chatkal region exhibit a north-east strike that gradually changes to a south-east strike as they approach the Talas-Fergana fault.

The metallogeny of the Middle Tien Shan is rich and varied, hosting several major mineral deposits. This includes significant gold deposits such as Kumtor and Makmal. The region is also endowed with molybdenum, found at deposits like Molo and Chaartash, and tungsten at locations including Kensu and Kumbel. Furthermore, there are substantial iron deposits at Gava and Jetym, as well as uranium, molybdenum, and vanadium at Saryjaz. The area’s mineral wealth is further exemplified by copper deposits at Kuru-Tegerek and Bozymchak, polymetallic deposits at Sumsar, and antimony at Terek and Kassan.

​

The geology of the Chaarat ZAAV Project, which includes the Tulkubash and Kyzyltash areas, is situated within the Tien Shan Metallogenic Belt, an extensive fold and thrust belt that traverses Central Asia. Both mineralization zones are classified as orogenic gold deposits, formed during the deformation of metamorphic belts, yet they exhibit distinct characteristics that reflect different formation conditions.

There are clear visual clues to detect the more mineralized shear zones, such as quartz carbonate veining, shearing, and veining; these will be helpful for grade control in an operating mine; however, while these clues are easily observed in the field, they are more difficult to distinguish in the core boxes, due to core crumbling, particularly if mineralized.

In summary, the geology of the Chaarat ZAAV Project reveals a large-scale, structurally controlled orogenic gold system. Kyzyltash represents a deeper, high-grade, and moderately-refractory sulphide rich style of mineralization, while Tulkubash represents an oxidised, shallower, lower-grade, more extensive manifestation with easily extractable gold, thus showcasing the diversity of mineralization styles within the same regional geological system.

In the opinion of the QP, the knowledge of the deposit setting, lithology, structural and alteration controls, and mineralization style is sufficiently well understood to support the current Mineral Resource estimate at this stage of the property’s development.

Exploration

An in-depth exploration program at the Chaarat ZAAV Project has been undertaken to expand the existing NI 43-101 resource by testing the potential for new gold zones. This program has included a variety of methods such as geological mapping, geophysics, surface rock sampling, core drilling, preliminary metallurgical test work, and mineral resource estimation. The drilling efforts, for the most part, have been concentrated on previously untested areas and potential strike extensions of known gold-hosting structural trends. Additionally, the program has investigated outlying targets not currently part of the resource, where trenching has revealed gold anomalies supported by geophysical data.

The exploration activities have successfully defined the Tulkubash and Kyzyltash mineralization as trending southwest-northeast with a sub-vertical to -60° dip. Despite challenges posed by topography and avalanches that prevent drilling in certain areas, the remarkable strike continuity of the mineralized zones suggests they are connected. However, without drilling, no resource can be officially delineated in these gaps. The quality of the data gathered is considered high, meeting industry standards for resource estimation and mine planning. There is strong potential for resource expansion, particularly to the northeast and within the undrilled gaps along the strike, which will likely require underground access.

Silvercorp reviewed the exploration work conducted by the previous project owner (Chaarat Gold Holdings Limited (CGH)) and believe that the Project warrants further exploration to validate and expand on the existing mineralization, and to identify other mineralized zones on the property. Additional drilling targets will be defined in the future to increase the confidence of the known resource, as well as to add additional resources through brown fields exploration.

In the opinion of the QP, the exploration programs completed to date are appropriate for the deposit and prospect styles present within the Project. The strike extent of currently known veins is likely to be extended with additional drilling in areas of challenging topography and beneath post-mineral cover.

​

Data Verification

The scope of the site inspection was to discuss and analyze general data acquisition and sampling procedures, quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) procedures, geology, mineralization, structural characteristics, mineral processing and metallurgical testing, mineral resource estimation, drill pads, core storage, drill core recovery, as well as infrastructure and permits granted to the project owner.

SVM collected samples for independent check assays and verification from 13 drill holes, which covered the Tulkubash oxide deposit (3 drill holes, 4 samples), Kyzyltash main zone (4 drill holes, 5 samples), Kyzyltash contact zone (5 drill holes, 8 samples), and the Karator oxide exploration target (1 drill holes, 2 samples). The check assays did not show any systematic bias from the original assay results. Furthermore, all drilling phases were reported in news releases and internal reports by the previous project owner and published on the company’s website. These reports are considered to be sufficient by the QP as evidence of the presence of economic grades of mineralization.

The site visit to the Chaarat ZAAV Project to complete the NI 43-101 requirements was conducted from 11 September to 17 September 2025, by Alex Zhang (P. Geo) and Dr. Donovan Pienaar. Based on the data verification performed, the QP is of the opinion that the collar coordinates, downhole surveys, lithologies, mineralization, and assay results comply with industry standards and are adequate for Mineral Resource estimation.

Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing

Recent mineralogical and metallurgical studies by SGS Lakefield on the Kyzyltash ore confirmed that the mineralization is dominated by quartz and muscovite, with minor potassium-feldspars and ankerite/dolomite. Sulphide mineralization consists primarily of arsenopyrite and pyrite, which host most of the gold. The gold is predominantly fine-grained, with 60% to 80% being less than 10 μm, and is classified as sulphide-rich, unoxidized refractory material occurring within the arsenopyrite and pyrite. Consequently, for the gold to be accessible for cyanide extraction, the sulphide host matrix must first be decomposed, typically through a chemical or biological pre-oxidation of a sulphide flotation concentrate. Silver also occurs in solid solution within antimony sulphides such as stibnite and boulangerite. A detailed metallurgical study is currently underway to define the most suitable processing route for the refractory ore at Kyzyltash, which is planned to be developed through both open pit and underground mining.

Metallurgical test work was conducted on 78 metallurgical composites comprising 991 individual samples. It was found that total sulphur content influenced the metallurgical recoveries of gold in a meaningful way, with high sulphur samples (un-oxidised) yielding lower recoveries than oxidised samples, which yielded higher gold recoveries. In 2021, approximately 3,500 meters of metallurgical drilling were completed at Kyzyltash, including the twinning of historical holes. The most recent drilling and metallurgical data was used to further inform the 2024 wireframe update. A bulk sample for metallurgical testing at Kyzyltash was obtained from an underground exploration adit developed in 2006.

Silvercorp and the QP are in full agreement with conclusions drawn from previous test work. Silvercorp recognises that two stages of mining and processing are required for the Chaarat ZAAV Project, with the first phase entailing the development, mining, and processing of the Tulkubash oxide ore, which can be processed through heap leaching, and a second stage that would include the sulphide-rich ore of the Kyzyltash deposit. Processing of the Kyzyltash ores would likely require alternative processing methods involving flotation- BIOX on floatation concentrate-CIL, returning overall gold recoveries of 88.2% for the Contact Zone ore, and 82.2% for the Main Zone ore as indicated by previous test work on samples from Kyzyltash. Similar processing could be tested for the increasingly sulphide rich ore located at depth at Tulkubash in future metallurgical programs.

Mineral Resource Estimates

Guoliang Ma, P.Geo., reviewed and validated the resource model prepared for this technical report. It is the opinion of the QP that the reported Mineral Resource is a reasonable representation of the available and up to date technical data and represents a solid base for further Feasibility Study and Ore Reserve estimates.

For this resource update, the Tulkubash deposit estimate is supported by 711 drillholes totalling 100,791 meters, while the Kyzyltash deposit estimate is based on 384 drillholes totalling 78,735 meters.

Not all historical and new holes were used in the update of the Mineral Resource Estimate since the database includes holes outside of the current geological models delivered by the geology team, which are the basis of this Mineral Resource Estimate.

The mineralization interpretation was done without reference to any historical models. The interpretation prioritized the continuity of mineralization trends and structural alignment, emphasizing zones of consistent grade rather than isolated high-grade intercepts.

Instead of assigning global average densities, IDW2 was used to estimate density for the Tulkubash and Kyzyltash to reflect spatially variability.

The Resource model was consolidated in a single block mode, in which all mineralized vein systems are organized under a unified file structure within the Micromine® software.

To address the gradual changes in mineralization across the deposits, a combined approach was adopted. Rather than defining static search ellipsoids for each set of veins with similar strike and dips, trend files were generated to systematically capture these changes. These trend files essentially represent a dynamic anisotropy model composed of ellipsoids and were incorporated into the estimation process. Where the general trends did not adequately represent local conditions, supplementary search ellipsoids were also created and applied. This dual approach ensures that both the gradual regional variations and specific local anomalies are accurately accounted for in the resource estimation.

The ultimate grade interpolation was done via Inverse Distance Weight with inverse power of 2 selected (IDW2). The interpolation was completed separately for each wireframe within each domain, taking in to account the geometry of mineralized zones, and gradually increasing the search ellipse size and decreasing the minimal requirements.

A comprehensive graphical validation of the resource block model was undertaken across all estimation domains. This process involved a detailed visual review of cross-sections and plan views directly on the computer screen. Key aspects verified included the alignment of block grades with the underlying composite data, the integrity of the composite data itself, and the overall model’s conformance with the topographic surface.

148


​

Swath plots were generated as part of the statistical validation of the block model. This analysis provides a robust means of assessing whether the grade interpolation process has preserved the overall grade distribution and trends present in the original composite data, helping to identify any conditional bias or over-smoothing in the model.

Resource classification was carried out using a multi-stage approach. Initially, classification was based on fundamental criteria such as drill hole spacing and sample density.

Subsequently, additional parameters were introduced to account for increased uncertainty at depth.

Based on industry practice, material is deemed economically viable for further processing if it’s contained value exceeds the estimated processing cost. Accordingly, SVM has selected a gold cut-off grade of 0.21 g/t for reporting Mineral Resources at Tulkubash within the conceptual pit shell, and 1.0 g/t for reporting underground Mineral Resources at Kyzyltash.

Table 1.2 and Table 1.3 have been rounded to reflect the Mineral Resource estimate is considered an approximation. The current undiluted Mineral Resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not demonstrate economic viability at this stage. No Mineral Reserves have been identified to date within the Tulkubash open pit area or the Kyzyltash underground zone.

Interpretation and Conclusions

Qualified Persons responsible for this technical report reviewed all the available geological information such as geology, geochemical, geophysical, surface trenching and diamond drill core sampling from Tulkubash and Kyzyltash. The compilation and update of all available information was done in conformity with CIM Estimation of Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves Best Practice Guidelines (2014 and 2019).

ZAAV implements a well-developed system of procedures and protocols that have been modified and improved over more than twenty-five-years of ongoing operations during exploration and advancement of the project.

In the opinion of the responsible QP, the following interpretations and conclusions are appropriate to the project’s status:

●Information from legal experts supports that the mining tenure held is valid and sufficient to support a declaration of Mineral Resources.
●There is no awareness of any significant environmental, social or permitting issues that would prevent continued exploitation of the project deposits.
●Knowledge of the deposit settings and lithologies, as well as the structural and alteration controls on mineralization and the mineralization style and setting, is sufficient to support Mineral Resource estimation.
●The exploration programs completed to date are appropriate for the style of the deposits and prospects within the project. The strike extent of presently-known veins are likely to be extended with additional drilling in areas of subdued topography and under post-mineral cover. Numerous instances of quartz veins and silicified rock with anomalous gold values remain to be thoroughly evaluated.
●The quantity and quality of the lithological, geotechnical, collar and down-hole survey data collected during the exploration and delineation drilling programs are sufficient to support gold and silver Mineral Resource Estimate. The collected sample data adequately reflect the deposit dimensions, true widths of mineralization, and the style of mineralisation for the deposits. Sampling is representative of the metal grades in the deposit, reflecting areas of higher and lower grades.
●The QA/QC procedures adequately address precision, accuracy and cross contamination issues. Drilling programs typically included blanks, duplicates and CRM samples. QA/QC submission rates meet industry-accepted standards. The QA/QC programs did not detect any material sample biases.

150


​

●Factors that may affect the Mineral Resource estimates include metal prices and assumptions related to shell constraining for Open Pit Mineral Resources including mining, dilution, processing and G&A costs, metal recoveries, and pit slope angle.

Summary

Introduction

In November 2025, SRK Consulting China Ltd. (“SRK”) was requested by Silvercorp Metals Inc. (“SVM” or “Silvercorp”) to prepare a Qualified Person’s Report (“QPR” or Competent Person’s Report, “CPR”) on El Domo Project (“El Domo” or the “Project”), located in the provinces of Bolivar and Los Rios, Ecuador. The deliverable of this project is an independent technical review report which will enable potential equity investors and possible future shareholders to review the Project’s studies and conditions.

This QPR or CPR is an independent review of El Domo Project’s geology, exploration, Mineral Re-sources, Mineral Reserves, mining, mineral processing, capital investment, operating cost, and environmental and social aspects.

The scope of work includes the review the Mineral Resources estimates, modifying factors for Mineral Reserve conversion, operation records and mining operations for the Domo Project as of the effective date of the report, conducting site visit by the Qualified Persons, and preparation of the QPR in compliance with the NI 43-101 and the Listing Rules.

The Mineral Resource statement reported herein is a collaborative effort between El Domo Project, SVM and SRK personnel.

The exploration database was compiled and maintained by El Domo Project and was reviewed by SRK. The geological model and wireframes defining the mineralisation were constructed by SVM in December 2025, In SRK’s opinion, the geological model is a reasonable representation of the distribution of the targeted mineralisation at the current level of sampling.

151


​

The statistical analysis, block model(s) and grade estimate were constructed by SRK, between January and February 2026.

Based on the Mineral Resource estimates and model(s), the mine plan and operation practices, El Domo Project converted the qualified Mineral Resources into Mineral Reserves and scheduled the productions of the mine under the SRK’s review. SRK updated the technical-economic analysis to demonstrate the project economic viability for perspective operation.

Overview

El Domo Project, 75% owned by SVM, in Bolívar Province, central Ecuador, which is accessed from Guayaquil is approximately 150km, the closest town to the Project is Las Naves and Encheandía Canton, which is approximately 20 km to the southwest.

The El Domo Project is a typical VMS deposit related to submarine volcanism, with stockwork hydro-thermal alteration and seafloor massive sulphide mineralization. Formed in rifted arc and back‑arc settings via magmatically driven hydrothermal circulation, its metal assemblage (Cu‑Au‑Zn or Zn‑Cu‑Pb‑Ag) is controlled by crustal type.

The Project is a planned open pit mine (“OP”), with related facilities and infrastructure that are under construction, and necessary regulation permits and licenses were guaranteed for the construction.

The El Domo Project is planned as a conventional truck‑and‑shovel open pit operation using haul trucks, hydraulic excavators and wheel loaders, to produce plant feed ore. The processing plant has been designed as a nominate capacity of 666 thousand tonnes per annual (“ktpa”) feed ore to pro-duce commercial copper concentrate, lead concentrate and zinc concentrate.

SRK has worked on the El Domo Project since November 2025, conducted data verification pro-grams and carried out quality assurance and quality control programs on drill hole information. SRK reviewed the active database and economic and technical parameters provided by El Domo and SVM and opined the estimation of Mineral Resources is reasonable.

The Mineral Resource statements for El Domo Mine are shown in Table 1.1.

Notes:

1. CIM (2014) definitions were followed for Mineral Resources.

2. Mineral Resources are reported above an NSR cut-off value of US$38/t for potential open pit Mineral Resources and the underground portion are reported using an NSR cut-off value of US$100/t NSR.

3. The NSR value is based on estimated processing recoveries, assumed metal prices, and smelter terms, which include payable factors treatment charges, penalties, and refining charges:84.9 *[Cu] (%) +46.9*[Au] (g/t) + 0.6*[Ag] (g/t) + 3.4 *[Pb] (%) + 19.8*[Zn] (%).

4. Mineral Resources are estimated using the metal price assumptions: USD 10,700/t Cu, USD 3,000/ oz Au, USD40/oz Ag, USD 2,300/t Pb, and USD3,220/t Zn.

5. Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves.

6. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

7. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

The mine plan prepared by El Domo is based on the eligible Mineral Resource, that are Measure and Indicated categories (“MI”) and generates a 13-year LOM, commencing in January 2026, comprising approximately 1.5 years of construction and pre-production followed by 11.5 years of commercial operation. The full production rate is about 666 ktpa ROM, which was converted to Mineral Reserve after considering the modifying factors.

The capital costs and operating costs provided to SRK, were matched production capacity and the current economic conditions. The economic analysis results demonstrate the economic viability of El Domo Project. Based on the SRK’s review, the key assumptions and projection using discount cash flow modelling, the El Domo Project has a net present value (the “NPV”) of US Dollar (the “USD”) 573 million at a discount rate of 8%.

The Mineral Reserve statement for El Domo Project is shown in Table 1.2.

Property Description and Ownership

In 2017, Adventus (formerly Adventus Zinc Corporation) entered into an agreement with Salazar Resources Ltd. to earn a majority interest in Ecuador’s Curipamba project by funding US$25 million in exploration and development over five years and fulfilling relevant obligations, including completing a feasibility study for the high-grade copper-gold El Domo VMS deposit in 2021. Later, Adventus completed the earn-in to obtain majority ownership, with cashflow arrangements specifying 95% to Adventus until its 2017-onward investments are repaid, then 75% to Adventus and 25% to Salazar. On July 31, 2024, SVM acquired a 75% interest in the Curipamba El Domo Project by purchasing Adventus, while Salazar retained its 25% stake.

153


​

The Curipamba project consists of seven contiguous concessions totalling 21,537.48 ha, wholly owned by Curimining (a Salazar subsidiary in Ecuador), with all tenements in good standing and free of liens. Originally registered to Salazar between 2003 and 2006, the tenements were reissued new titles under the Ecuadorian Mining Act, granting 25-year exclusive mining rights (22 years, 11 months, 22 days for Las Naves, where El Domo is located).

Classified under the small-scale mining regime in 2016, the tenements allow simultaneous exploration and exploitation, bypassing the general regime’s staged schedule. In February 2024, Ecuador’s Ministry of Energy and Mines issued a reform clarifying regulations for medium-scale mining’s transition from exploration to production, supporting the El Domo-Curipamba project.

Curimining has fulfilled all obligations, including paying conservation patent fees, submitting annual exploration reports (since at least 2014), holding approved environmental licenses, water use permits, and complying with reporting requirements. It has also met community involvement requirements and conducted outreach programs for 10 years. The project is located 150 km southwest of Quito and 150 km northeast of Guayaquil, with the nearest town being Ventanas (≈20 km away, 38,000 population in 2010).

Geology and Mineralization

The El Domo Project area is characterized by the volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the Macuchi Group, dating from the Middle Paleocene–Eocene age. The stratigraphy includes a basal rhyodacite unit overlain by two interlayered volcaniclastic sequences: one mafic and one felsic. Younger andesitic and rhyolitic lithofacies intrude these sequences. Massive sulphides are found along the contact between the rhyodacite and the volcaniclastic rocks, as well as within the mafic volcaniclastics, known locally as grainstone, which serves as a marker unit for exploration. The strata are sub-horizontal with a synclinal shape, disrupted by sub-vertical faults causing vertical offsets up to 50 meters.

Mineralization at El Domo shows broad zoning:

●Upper "cap" of barite enriched in silica, sphalerite, galena, and gold.
●Underlain by a massive sulphide zone with zinc-rich mineralization near the hanging wall and copper-rich at the base.

The El Domo Project is characteristic of a Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposit and exhibits the following features:

●VMS deposits are associated with submarine felsic and/or mafic volcanism and are characterized by an underlying stockwork or feeder zone with major hydrothermal alteration, more prominent in the footwall than in the hanging wall, and massive or semi-massive mineralization formed on or near the seafloor.
●The principal model for VMS genesis involves a submarine rifting environment, where a sub-seafloor magma chamber drives a hydrothermal convective cell. Cold seawater enters the oceanic crust through faults and cracks, heats up near the magma chamber, and leaches metals from surrounding rocks. The heated, metal-laden fluids rise back to the seafloor and precipitate metals upon mixing with cold seawater.
●Ancient VMS deposits mainly formed in oceanic and continental nascent-arc, rifted-arc, and back-arc settings. Crustal composition significantly influences the mineral content of VMS de-posits: Cu-Au-Zn deposits form on primitive crust, while Zn-Cu-Pb-Ag deposits form on continental crust (Barrie and Hannington, 1999).

Exploration Status

Since RTZ’s initial regional stream‑sediment survey in 1991, the Project has been explored through a series of systematic programs including mapping, rock and soil sampling, BLEG surveys, IP and magnetic geophysics, and multiple drilling phases. Early work by RTZ and Newmont highlighted strong gold and base metal potential, while 2007 IP surveys and Phase I drilling led to the discovery of massive sulphide mineralization at El Domo. Subsequent drilling campaigns (Phases II–VI, VIII and IX) comprising tens of thousands of metres of core drilling have progressively delineated and infill‑drilled the El Domo deposit, upgraded Mineral Resource classifications, and improved under-standing of both open pit and underground potential. Throughout this history, integrated geochemical and geophysical surveys have continually refined the geological model, providing a robust basis for ongoing and future exploration.

During Phase I (2007–2008), a QA/QC system using standards, blanks, and field duplicates (1 in 30 samples) was applied to rock, soil, and stream sediment samples. In Phase II (2010), Salazar Re-sources inserted standards (1 in 10–15) and blanks (1 in 30), re‑analyzed samples exceeding 5 g/t Au, 5% Cu or 5% Zn, and sent pulps of every 10th sample to an independent laboratory, but did not use core duplicates. From Phase III onward, Salazar used only standards and blanks at similar insertion rates, with high‑grade pulps re‑assayed and 10% of samples sent for external checks; in Phase IV (2011–2012), QA/QC was further reduced to standards and blanks only, with no duplicates or external check assays. In 2013, BISA conducted independent verification by re‑sampling 143 representative samples (core twins, coarse rejects, and pulps) and inserting standards, blanks, and pulp duplicates for internal and external control. Curimining subsequently applied a strengthened QA/QC program in 2018 and 2020–2024, using certified reference materials, blanks, and pulp duplicates with analyses at a secondary laboratory.

The author considers that quality control measures adopted for assaying of the El Domo Mineral Resource drilling have established that the assaying is representative and free of any biases or other factors that may materially impact the reliability of the analytical results. The author considers that the sample preparation, security and analytical procedures adopted for El Domo drilling provide an adequate basis for the current Mineral Resource estimates.

Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates

The database, estimation domains of El Domo project was completed by Resource Geologist of SVM. Ms. Yanfang Zhao, Principal Geologists of SRK (MAIG) has reviewed the database, estimation do-mains and were satisfied that they comply with reasonable industry practice. SRK has generated the block models, performed the grade estimation and prepared the Mineral Resource estimate work.

The Qualified Person responsible for the Mineral Resources is Ms. Yanfang Zhao (MAIG #10796), who is full time employee of SRK. Ms. Yanfang Zhao visited the project between the 21 and 23 of June 2024. There are limited drillings updated since last visit, but a series of constructions are going on. The 2026 site visit is between 27 and 28 May 2026.

The estimates are based on drilling samples and underground samples information available up to December 2025. With respect to drilling sample information available for the December 2025 Mineral Resource estimates, SRK believes the current drilling information is sufficiently reliable to interpret with confidence the boundaries for El Domo deposits and that the assay data is sufficiently reliable to support the Mineral Resource estimation.

The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated, or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling.

​

Within the current mining License area, as of December 31, 2025, the El Domo Project, above a COV of USD38 /t NSR for the potential open pit mining and USD100/t NSR for the underground portion, there are 11.4 million tonnes (“Mt”) of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources at an average grade of 1.85% Cu, 0.22% Pb, 2.42% Zn, 2.11g/t Au and 41.69g/t Ag; and 3.8 Mt of Inferred

Mineral Resources at an average grade of 0.46% Cu, 0.13% Pb, 0.97% Zn, 0.80g/t Au and 28.49g/t Ag.

The Mineral Reserve estimation work was reviewed by Falong Hu, Principal Mining Engineer of SRK based on the review of modifying factors supplied by El Domo and the mine plan by Mr. Qingxiong Hu, Mining Engineer, under the supervision of Alexander Thin, who is a Corporate Mining Engineer of SRK.

The modifying factors relevant to metallurgical and processing are relied on the opinions from Ms. Xiangfeng Yang, Senior Processing Engineer of SRK; the modifying factors relevant to environmental permitting, and social impact are relied on the opinions from Mr. Nan Xue, Principal Environmental Scientist, of SRK; the modifying factors relevant to costings and technical-economic analysis are relied on the opinions from Ms. TzuHsuan Chuang, Senior Mining Engineer of SRK. Mr Falong Hu and engineers or scientists he reliance on are satisfied that they comply with reasonable industry practice.

The Qualified Person responsible for the Mineral Reserve is Mr Falong Hu, who is a full-time employee of SRK Consulting (China) Ltd. and, Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (“AusIMM”). Mr Falong Hu visited the project between the 21 and 23 of June 2024. There are constructions are going on. The 2026 site visit is between 27 and 28 May 2026, conducted by the principal consultant Falong Hu (Mining) and Nan Xue (Environmental).

Within the current mining License area and mine plan scope, as of December 31, 2025, the El Domo Project, by applying the Modifying Factors, the economically mineable parts of the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources within the designed open pit, including diluting materials and allowance for losses, were classified as Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, respectively. The feed ore is estimated based on the reference point being the primary crusher or temporary stockpile at the crusher feed.

Above a COV of 55 USD/t, there are 7,129 kt of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve at an average grade of 312 USD/t NSR, 2.55 g/t Au, 47.82 g/t Ag, 1.93% Cu, 0.26% Pb, 2.63% Zn.

Development and Operations

Geotechnical and Hydrogeological Considerations

Open pit slope design is based on dedicated geotechnical site investigations, including 5 HQ triple-tube geotechnical drillholes (1,211.7 m), systematic geotechnical logging of most resource drilling (RMR from 343 holes ~68,000 m; RQD from 350 holes ~66,000 m), detailed core review and a comprehensive field and laboratory testing program (over 17,000 point-load tests and 102 UCS tests on 10 geotechnical units), with hydrogeological conditions characterised separately.

Geotechnical domains were defined primarily on lithology, with structural controls and pit wall orientation incorporated in stability analyses using HxGN MinePlan and Rocscience Slide2. Recommended inter-ramp slope angles range from 45°to 55°, with inter-ramp heights limited to 70 m and 12–14 m geotechnical berms above that height; final slopes are to be excavated with controlled blasting and require effective depressurisation (e.g., drainholes) to meet design criteria.

156


​

Mining Method

The El Domo Project is planned as a conventional truck-and-shovel open pit operation using haul trucks, hydraulic excavators and wheel loaders. Ore will be hauled either directly to the ROM pad or to a ROM stockpile, where it will be segregated by ore type (High Zn, mixed Zn/Cu, High Cu) to support mill feed blending into a 666 kt/a process plant, with High Cu ore limited to 15% of feed when sufficient Zn ore is available.

Five pit phases have been defined to maintain continuous ore exposure and to recover sufficient andesite, tuff and other non-acid-generating (NAG) rock for construction of the tailings embankments; the main haul ramp has been laid out, where practicable, to act both as an access ramp and as a geotechnical berm to reduce waste stripping requirements.

The mine is scheduled to operate 10 hours per shift, 2 shifts per day, 350 days per year. The nominate capacity is to be 666 ktpa plant feed. The schedule provides for a 13-year LOM, commencing in January 2026, comprising approximately 1.5 years of construction and pre-production followed by 11.5 years of commercial operation. The life of mine schedule summarized in Figure 1.1 below.

Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing

El Domo is a polymetallic deposit containing copper, gold, silver, lead, and zinc. Three separate concentrates may be produced by flotation from the future operation, which are copper concentrate, zinc concentrate and lead concentrate. Gold and silver are distributed among these three concentrates.

From 2019 to 2023, extensive metallurgical testwork was carried out by BML on multiple ore samples from the El Domo deposit. In July 2025, BML analyzed and summarized the historical test results and conducted verification and optimization tests based on the preferred flowsheet and test conditions. The BML metallurgical test conclusions are summarized as follows:

●The valuable elements are copper, zinc, gold and silver, with potential credits from lead and sulphur. The primary copper mineral is chalcopyrite, with lesser amounts of bornite, chalcocite and tennantite. Zinc occurs mainly as sphalerite and lead primarily as galena. The valuable metals are predominantly hosted in sulphide minerals, indicating that flotation is a suitable method for target metal recovery.

157


​

●All the gravity tests indicated that the proportion of gravity-recoverable gold is very low, and gravity separation is not a suitable processing option for the El Domo ore.
●A large number of flotation tests have been carried out on samples from the El Domo deposit over several years to optimize flotation conditions and develop an appropriate flowsheet. At a primary grind of 80% passing 125 µm, the Cu/Pb rougher concentrates and Zn rougher concentrates were considered satisfactory.
●The gold and silver lost in zinc tailings are high, and utmost occurs sub-microscopic inclusions. Intensive cyanidation after regrinding (P80=15μm) can recover 23% to 40% gold of the zinc tailings, but the sodium cyanide consumption is high as 18kg/t. A SART process was recommended to mitigate the cost.
●Ultrafine regrinding of the bulk rougher concentrate is required to achieve effective separation of copper, lead and zinc, due to the fine dissemination and interlocking of the target sulphide minerals.
●At a primary grinding fineness of P80=125 µm and regrinding fineness of P80 =28 µm, BML conducted the locked-cycle test on Master C Sample in 2025, with the results presented in Table 1.3.

Source: El Domo Project – Summary of BML’s Metallurgical Testwork Results, July 2025, BML.

​

In December 2025, Youyan Resources and Environment Technology Research Institute (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“GRINM”) was commissioned to carry out test work on polymetallic ore samples from El Domo, including process mineralogy studies, beneficiation testwork to determine flotation conditions, and closed-circuit tests for different flowsheet configurations. On the above basis, the partial preferential–bulk flotation with subsequent separation flowsheet was selected as the principal process.

At a primary grinding fineness of P80=125 µm and regrinding fineness of P80 =16–19 µm, GRINM conducted the locked - cycle test, with the results presented in Table 1.4. The test indicated that both saleable copper and zinc concentrates were produced. The copper concentrate achieved a copper recovery of 89.81%, with a grade of 25.03% Cu, 2.30% Pb, and 3.86% Zn. The relatively high lead and zinc contents may adversely affect the marketability of the copper concentrate. The zinc concentrate achieved a zinc recovery of 82.33%, with a zinc grade of 53.56% Zn. Both the copper and zinc concentrate has low arsenic content (below 0.3%).

​

Additionally, after combining copper concentrate 1 and copper concentrate 2, exploratory Cu–Pb separation tests were carried out. The Pb grade is low (9.97% Pb) in lead concentrate, indicating that the separation of the Cu–Pb bulk concentrate is not satisfactory, and a saleable lead concentrate cannot be produced. In view of the low overall lead grade of the ore, it is recommended that Cu–Pb separation be considered in future production when the lead grade is relatively high.

Overall, the GRINM test results are satisfactory. However, the recoveries of gold and silver in the test results are relatively low, so it is recommended to carry out further test work on tailings regrinding and beneficiation to improve gold and silver recoveries. In addition, it is recommended to take representative ore samples and conduct tests on the influence of recycled water on flotation, in order to determine whether a water treatment system is required.

Recovery Methods

The Feasibility Study for the Project was prepared by DRA Global Ltd. (“DRA”) and issued in December 2021. Based on this study, the preliminary design of the processing plant was completed in February 2026 by Yantai Oriental Metallurgical Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Yantai Oriental”). The plant has a nominal design capacity of 666 ktpa, and primarily treats ore sourced from the open pit. The plant will operate on a continuous basis, 330 days per year, with two 12-hour shifts per day while the crushing system will operate in two shifts per day, 6 hours per shift.

The comminution circuit has been designed as a “crushing – semi-autogenous grinding – ball milling (SAB)” configuration. The downstream beneficiation flowsheet comprises “partial preferential Cu–Pb flotation, Cu–Pb–Zn bulk flotation, regrinding of the bulk flotation concentrate, Cu–Pb–Zn differential flotation, Cu–Pb separation and Zn–S separation”.

The designed final products will be copper concentrate (25.35% Cu), zinc concentrate (53.50% Zn), and lead concentrate (20.65% Pb). The associated elements Au and Ag are mainly concentrated among these three concentrates for overall recovery. Flotation tailings will be thickened and then flow to the tailings storage facility (TSF) for deposition.

Based on metallurgical testwork undertaken by BML and GRINM, together with reference from comparable concentrators in the region, Yantai Oriental has developed the key processing indicators for the Project, which are shown in Table 1.5.

​

The target metal grades and lithologies vary significantly across the deposit, which will lead to unstable metallurgical performance for the proposed flowsheet. A ROM blending strategy is therefore required to stabilize the plant feed grade.

Environmental Studies, Permitting and Social or Community Impact

The Project is currently in the infrastructure development stage and has obtained the required environmental approvals for both the advanced exploration and development phases. In addition, a number of environment-related permits have been secured, including those for water abstraction and hazardous waste management. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report (April 2022) was prepared for the exploitation and beneficiation phases of the El Domo Project. The EIA scope encompasses the main production facilities, including the open pit, processing plant, and tailings storage facility.

Monitoring of surface water undertaken in February, April, and July 2025 encompassed multiple sampling locations, including points situated both upstream and downstream. The majority of measured parameters met relevant regulatory criteria. Although the July 2025 dataset showed that concentrations of metals and inorganic constituents were within permissible limits, earlier sampling campaigns in February and April 2025 recorded elevated levels of certain metals in some samples. These elevated concentrations are interpreted as reflecting the natural geochemical background associated with the polymetallic mineralisation. Groundwater investigations conducted over the period from 2020 to 2025 did not identify the presence of key contaminants such as cyanide. However, relatively high concentrations of major ions were detected. The Company has established various initiatives aimed at supporting the development of local communities. Based on findings from internal due diligence and the MAE social assessment, no Indigenous groups or ancestrally occupied lands were identified within either the direct or indirect area of influence of the El Domo Project.

Capital Cost and Operating Cost

The total LOM Capex for the El Domo Project is estimated at USD 373.46 million. The LOM Capex is divided into three main categories: Initial Capex, Sustaining Capex, and Closure Cost. The majority of the capital investment is allocated to the initial peak construction period in 2026 and 2027. A summary breakdown of the LOM Capex is presented in Table 1.6.

Technical-Economic Analysis

The cash flow estimate includes only the revenue, costs, taxes, and other factors directly associated with El Domo Project. The assumptions are as follows:

●The ROM and finial products of El Domo Project, which are lead, zinc, and copper concentrates, are based on the LOM schedule.
●The local currency for El Domo Project is USD and is used for technical-economic analysis.
●Annual gross revenue is calculated by applying the forecasted metal prices and payable metal percentages from contracts to the annual recovered metal for each operating year.
●SRK does not consider future inflation or currency and cost fluctuations; the cost remains constant over the LOM.

161


​

●Financing is assumed to be on a 100% equity basis; no debt or related financing costs have been included in the technical-economic analysis.
●Corporate obligations and financing costs are not considered.
●Exploration Capex, which is aimed at discovering additional Mineral Resources that are currently outside the Mineral Reserves estimates, is not considered during this analysis.
●No salvage value has been included in the technical-economic analysis.
●Working capital will be fully recovered at the end of LOM.
●The reference date or effective date is December 31, 2025.

The technical-economic analysis was conducted using conventional Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) techniques. The projection for Project operation shows a positive economic prospect. At a discount rate of 8%, the NPV of the Project is USD 573 million. The net present values (“NPVs”) at different discount rates were estimated by SRK through DCF model, presented in Table 1.8.

Sources: SRK

SRK conducted a single-factor sensitivity analysis for the Project. The analysis focused on metal prices, Capex, and Opex, each tested within a ±30% range, exploration Capex, and corporate income tax rate. The results showed that the Project is most sensitive to changes in metal prices. The break-even prices (NPV=0, at 8% discount rate) are around a change of -52% simultaneously of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, from the base scenario prices used in the model. In other words, all the 5 metal prices drop to about 48% of the forecasting prices, the Project NPV will become negative.

Risk Assessment

SRK completed a risk assessment of the risks identified for the Domo Project in relation to their likelihood of occurrence within the LOM and consequence in accordance with Guidance Note 7 to the Listing Rules.

In general, project risk decreases from exploration, development, through to the production stage. Domo Project is at development stage.

SRK considered various technical aspects which may affect the feasibility and future cash flow and conducted a qualitative risk analysis which has been summarised in Table 1.9. In this risk analysis, various risk sources/ issues have been assessed for likelihood and consequence, and then an overall risk rating has been assigned.

Conclusions and Recommendations

The structural and geological models for El Domo Project have been modelled by SLR in 2021 used Leapfrog software and updated by SVM in 2025 based on a combination of geological logs, assays, and sectional information to construct a detailed geological model in Leapfrog, activating the structural model.

The base and precious metal mineralization occurs mainly in a tabular zone comprising semi-massive to massive sulphides. Secondary loci of mineralization are found in the breccia zone within the immediate hanging wall of the massive sulphide zone and smaller lenses in the footwall.

The 2025 metallurgical test work indicated that there are reasonable prospects for achieving the recoveries applied to the economic assessment. However, further work is required to be able to confirm the optimal processing configuration for the mineralization. As such, there is a risk that these recovery factors may change with additional test work and depending on the ultimate processing flow sheet that is selected if the project is developed.

164


​

The mine method is studied at industrial good practice and with a reasonable perspective feasible extraction of the eligible Mineral Resources. The process and designed parameters of the processing plant are suitable for the ore properties of the Project. Based on the ROM grade, SRK considers that there may be a risk of compromising copper recovery if copper and lead concentrates are separated via flotation.

The El Domo Project is currently at the infrastructure development stage, with environmental permits obtained for advanced exploration and development, as well as licences for water abstraction and hazardous waste disposal. An EIA report for the exploitation and beneficiation phases was completed in April 2022.

Most surface water and groundwater monitoring parameters comply with regulatory standards. Individual metal exceedances in some surface water samples are believed to relate to the natural polymetallic deposit background, and no cyanide was detected in groundwater.

The feasibility study only includes conceptual mine closure strategies, and a detailed formal mine closure plan has not yet been developed.

No indigenous communities or ancestral territories exist within the project’s direct and indirect area of influence, so mandatory prior consultation with indigenous peoples is not required

The associated Capex for mine construction are estimated at a feasibility study level. The economic analysis demonstrates the project could be economic viable operated according to the principal assumptions.

As reviewed by SRK, the QPs recommendations for the Domo Project are indicated below:

●To confirm the interpretation of the domains for El Domo, SRK recommends an exploration program should be undertaken. And optimized the QAQC procedure, including a) Insert Coarse and more pulp duplicates was recommended. b) Revise protocols so that QC samples are inserted using a systematic approach at a rate of 1 sample in every 20 samples (5%).
●The products scheme be adjusted timely during production in response to changing market conditions or requirements from concentrate purchasers, and that a mixed copper-lead concentrate may also be considered as one of the feasible options.
●Conducting reconciliation on not only Mineral Resources versus Processed Feed, but also on the mineral flows, from the Mineral Resource model, grade control results, mining, then processing.
●Conducting reconciliation on exploration investment versus Mineral Resources updates to demonstrate the Capex efficiency.
●As part of ongoing progress at the mine, geotechnical, slope stable analysis and monitoring aspects should be continuously reviewed in a formal and recordable manner, bearing in mind previous recommendations, local and mine-wide operating experience in all rock types encountered, any advisable data collection, and looking to future mining development.
●Conduct a TSF expansion study or the design of a second tailings storage facility for the future LOM expansion.

In addition, if certain fundamental changes occur, including a change in control or upon notice of redemption by the Company as described below, the holders may elect to convert their Convertible Notes and may be entitled to an increased conversion rate. A fundamental change includes the following occurrences:

●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.

167


​

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.

A copy of the Convertible Note Indenture is available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. The Convertible Note Indenture was amended by the supplemental no.1 to indenture dated November 26, 2025 to correct a typographical error and by supplemental no.2 dated March 18, 2026 to remove the Company’s option to settle conversions of the Convertible Notes in cash, reclassifying the conversion feature from a derivative liability to equity to avoid future fair value volatility in the Profit & Loss account on the Company’s financial statements. Following this second amendment, upon conversion, the Company is required to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Notes exclusively through the issuance of common shares.

The Notes do not carry any rights to vote alongside the holders of the Company’s Common Shares on any shareholder resolutions and, prior to conversion, holders of the Convertible Notes do not have any of the rights of holders of the Company’s Common Shares, including the right to receive dividends or other distributions paid on the Common Shares.

​

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the significant factors that have affected Silvercorp Metals Inc. and its subsidiaries’ (“Silvercorp”, the “Company”, "us", "we" or "our") performance and such factors that may affect its future performance. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and the related notes contained therein.  The Company reports its financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with the IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Silvercorp’s material accounting policy information is set out in Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. This MD&A refers to various alternative performance (non-GAAP) measures, such as adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and EBITDA per share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share, free cash flow, working capital, silver equivalent, cash cost per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, all-in & all-in sustaining cost per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, cash cost per tonne, and all-in sustaining cost per tonne. Non-GAAP measures do not have standardized meanings under IFRS Accounting Standards.

To facilitate a better understanding of these measures as calculated by the Company, additional information has been provided in this MD&A. Please refer to section 15, “Alternative Performance (Non-GAAP) Measures” of this MD&A for detailed descriptions and reconciliations. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding difference.

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.

●Ongoing production during Chinese New Year: Produced approximately 1.5 million ounces of silver, 2,492 ounces of gold, or approximately 1.6 million ounces of silver equivalent1 during the quarter;
●Record quarterly revenue: Sold approximately 1.5 million ounces of silver, 2,623 ounces of gold, 13.6 million pounds of lead, and 3.9 million pounds of zinc, for revenue of $147.4 million, an increase of 96% over the three months ended March 31, 2025 (“Q4 Fiscal 2025”), mainly driven by a 183% higher average realized silver price of $78.6 per ounce, with silver representing 78% of the quarterly revenue;
●Cash cost per ounce of silver1(net of by-product credits): negative $1.92, significant improvement from $2.49 in Q4 Fiscal 2025 attributable to the more mechanized and less expensive shrinkage mining method;
●All-in sustaining costs per ounce of silver1 (net of by-product credits): $17.35, 21% higher than $14.31 in Q4 Fiscal 2025, mainly due to higher government taxes linked to increased revenue and higher sustaining capital expenditures.
●Record adjusted earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)1 attributable to equity shareholders of $98.1 million, or $0.44 per share, compared to $29.8 million or $0.14 per share in Q4 Fiscal 2025;

(ii)

Cash Costs1

For the year ended March 31, 2026, the consolidated production cost ("cash cost") per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was negative $0.94, down 74% compared to negative $0.54 in Fiscal 2025, the decrease was mainly attributable to an increase of $9.6 million in by-product credits from revenue of non-silver metals. The consolidated AISC per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was $14.25, up 18% compared to $12.12 in Fiscal 2025, the increase was mainly due to an increase in sustaining capital expenditures.

In Q4 Fiscal 2026, the consolidated cash cost per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was negative $1.92, compared to $2.49 in Q4 Fiscal 2025. The decrease was mainly attributable to a higher percentage of using the more cost-efficient and mechanized shrinkage mining method, and an increase of $1.8 million in by-product credits from revenue of non-silver metals. The consolidated AISC per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was $17.35, up 21% compared to $14.31 in Q4 Fiscal 2025, mainly due to an increase in sustaining capital expenditures as more tunnels were completed.

Total capital expenditures in Q4 Fiscal 2026 were $29.2 million, up 115% compared to $13.6 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025, mainly due to the El Domo and Kuanping mine construction.

For the Ying Mining District, capitalized expenditures for underground ramps, tunnels and drilling amounted to $10.6 million, plus $1.4 million for plant and equipment, compared to $7.9 million for underground ramps, tunnels and drilling   and $1.0 million for plant and equipment in Q4 Fiscal 2025. The No. 3 Mill is under design and construction in Q4 Fiscal 2026 with a total budget of $31.6 million, expected to add 3,000 tonnes per day of capacity, and be commissioned in Q1 Fiscal 2028. Besides, the TLP 35kV Substation and Power Line Construction Project had its construction contract signed on March 9, 2026 and project commenced on April 10, 2026, and is expected to be completed by the end of Q3 Fiscal 2026, which will be able to meet the full-load power demands of the TLP and LMW mining areas.

For the GC Mine, total capitalized expenditures amounted to $1.2 million, a slight increase as compared to $1.0 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025.

The El Domo and Kuanping mine construction continued to progress. Please refer to "Individual Mine Performance" below for further discussion.

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.

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)

​

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.

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).

Fiscal 2026 vs. Fiscal 2025

In Fiscal 2026, approximately 0.5 million ounces of silver, 5.2 million pounds of lead and 15.1 million pounds of zinc, representing production of an increase of 3% in zinc and decreases of 11% (silver) and 2% (lead), compared to Fiscal 2025.

In Fiscal 2026, the cash cost was $60.08 per tonne of ore processed, up 9% compared to $54.97 in Fiscal 2025, the increase is mainly due to an increase of 13% in mining preparation tunnel completed and expensed as part of mining costs as well as higher per tonne fixed costs allocation resulting from the decrease in ore production. The AISC was $87.48 per tonne of ore processed, up 5% compared to $83.36 in Fiscal 2025, mainly due to a 9% increase in cash cost per tonne as discussed above, partially offset by a decrease of 14% in sustaining capital expenditures.

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)

​

The cash cost per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was negative $14.23, compared to negative $14.71 in Fiscal 2025. The AISC per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was $4.70, compared to $3.12 in Fiscal 2025, mainly driven by the increase in cash cost and AISC per tonne as discussed above.

In Fiscal 2026, a total of 20,749 metres or $0.5 million worth of drilling were growth drilling and capitalized (Fiscal 2025 – 41,335 metres or $0.9 million). In addition, 11,597 metres or $4.9 million worth of sustaining or growth horizontal tunnels, raises, ramps, and declines were completed and capitalized (Fiscal 2025 –  12,165 metres or $5.2 million).

Q4 Fiscal 2026 vs. Q4 Fiscal 2025

Approximately 0.1 million ounces of silver, 1.1 million pounds of lead and 2.5 million pounds of zinc, representing  increases of 3% (silver), 51% (lead) and 4% (zinc) compared to Q4 Fiscal 2025.

The cash cost was $71.12 per tonne of ore processed, down 8% compared to $77.46 in Q4 Fiscal 2025, and the AISC was $109.68, down 7% compared to $117.83 in Q4 Fiscal 2025 mainly attributable to a lower unit overhead cost allocation with an increase of 24% in ore processed.

The cash cost per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits in Q4 Fiscal 2026, was negative $19.93, compared to negative $8.53 in Q4 Fiscal 2025. The AISC per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was $10.22, compared to $15.05 in Q4 Fiscal 2025, mainly driven by an increase of $1.0 million in the by-product credits from revenue of non-silver metals.

In Q4 Fiscal 2026, approximately 3,493 metres or $0.1 million of drilling were growth drilling and capitalized (Q4 Fiscal 2025 – 7,636 metres or $0.2 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”).

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.

Development and exploration at the Ying Mining District will continue as planned to optimize mine operations to increase ore production, to upgrade and increase mineral resources, and to strengthen on-site management.

Mine construction at the El Domo and Kuanping projects continues to advance. Spending at the El Domo project was lower than guidance primarily due to an exceptionally heavy and prolonged rainy season, which limited the pace of earthworks and site preparation, and disrupted supplementary road maintenance and certain civil works, resulting in lower-than-planned excavation volumes.

The Ying Mining District plans to process 1,237,000 to 1,302,000 tonnes of ore, including nominal development ore from Kuanping, to produce 6.4 to 6.6 million ounces of silver, 9,500 to 10,000 ounces of gold, or 7.1 to 7.3 million ounces of silver equivalent, 56.4 to 59.2 million pounds of lead, and 6.8 to 7.1 million pounds of zinc for Fiscal 2027. This production guidance represents production increases of 4% to 10% in ore, 0.1% to 4% in silver, 9% to 15% in gold, 2% to 7% in lead and 3% to 8% in zinc, compared to the Fiscal 2026 results.

The cash cost at the Ying Mining District is expected to be $88.2 to $90.4 per tonne of ore, compared to the cash cost of $79.71 in Fiscal 2026. The AISC is estimated at $155.4 to $161.2 per tonne, compared to the AISC of $134.19 recorded in Fiscal 2026. The higher cash cost and AISC are due to anticipated increases in contractor unit costs and more development tunnels and facilities planned for higher ore production in Fiscal 2027. More details on the near and longer term mine plan will be contained in an updated NI 43-101 technical report expected to be released in the coming weeks.

The GC Mine plans to process 290,000 to 305,000 tonnes of ore to produce 0.46 to 0.49 million ounces of silver, 6.3 to 6.6 million pounds of lead, and 15.5 to 16.3 million pounds of zinc. Fiscal 2027 production guidance at the GC Mine represents production increases of 1% to 6% in ore and 0.4% to 7% in silver, 20% to 26% in lead and 2% to 8% in zinc compared to the Fiscal 2026 results.

The cash cost at the GC Mine is expected to be $63.1 to $64.6 per tonne of ore, compared to $60.08 recorded in Fiscal 2026. The AISC is estimated at $90.4 to $93.3 per tonne of ore processed, compared to $87.48 recorded in Fiscal 2026 as more exploration tunneling has been planned in Fiscal 2027.

The total budget for the El Domo project remains unchanged at $283.6 million, consistent with the February revised budget, with an expected completion date of July 1, 2027.  Spending in Q4 Fiscal 2026 totaled $15.9 million. Key activities included site preparation for the processing plant, construction of the ore shed, camp and internal roads, and ordering of major equipment.

Package #1 - Site Preparation/Roads/Channel/TSF/SWD

Package #1 earthworks and related activities have been conducted by CRCC 14 since January 2025, with the capital costs estimated based on the unit prices as indicated in the contract multiplied by the design quantities of each activity.

Package #2 – Open Pit Mining and Stripping

The mining contract for the construction and operation of Package #2 was awarded to China Railway 19th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. ("CRCC19") with the cost estimated based on the optimized mine plan and contracted unit rates of drilling, blasting, and hauling etc received from CRCC19. The Company expects to commence stripping of the open pit in April 2026 and a total of 4.1 million cubic metres of sediments and waste rocks will be stripped.

Package #3 - Processing Plant Construction and Equipment

The detailed process flowsheet and equipment selection for the processing plant construction and equipment have been finalized by Yantai Jinpeng Mining Machinery Co., Ltd, with the cost estimated based on the engineering design, actual contract and purchase prices for major equipment from international vendors, market prices for minor equipment in China plus shipping cost, current construction cost in Ecuador.

Power line construction and Stand-by Diesel Power Generators

The construction of the power line is expected to be initiated in June 2026 and should take approximately 12 months to be completed. The 14MW diesel generator sets will be delivered to site by December 2026 for installation and operation before the completion of the process plant. This mitigation plan will ensure that power is available for commissioning of the process plant in July 2027, regardless of the status of the external power line.

b.Condor Project

In Fiscal 2027, the Company plans first to obtain the environmental permit for small-scale mining, which will then allow the development of two 1,500 metre long underground tunnels totalling 3,000 metres that will provide access to the main ore bodies and to carry out underground drilling to upgrade mineral resource categories into measured and indicated. 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.

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.

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)

​

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.

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.

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.

​

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.

​

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.

The following key inputs and assumptions were used when determining the value of the embedded derivative liability:

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%).

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.

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:

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).

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

​

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

​

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

​

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:

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.

​

​

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)

​

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, theIASB released IFRS 18 Presentationand Disclosure inFinancial Statements. IFRS18 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.

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.

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;

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

​

●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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Silvercorp Metals Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Silvercorp Metals Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2026, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated May 26, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

​

​

​

Impairment – Assessment of Whether Indicators of Impairment or Impairment Reversal Exist in Non-financial Assets — Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company’s determination of whether or not an indication of impairment or impairment reversal exists at the asset or cash generating unit level requires significant management judgment. Changes in metal price forecasts, estimated future costs of production, estimated future capital costs, the amount of recoverable mineral reserves and resources and/or adverse or favorable current economics can result in a write-down or write-up of the carrying amounts of the Company’s mining interests.

While there are several estimates and assumptions that are required to determine whether or not an indicator of impairment or impairment reversal exists, the assumptions with the highest subjectivity are the changes in market conditions including future commodity prices and market interest rates. Auditing these assumptions required a high degree of subjectivity in applying audit procedures and in evaluating the results of those procedures. This resulted in an increased extent of audit effort, including the involvement of fair value specialists.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to changes in market conditions including future commodity prices and market interest rates, in assessing indicators of impairment or potential reversal of impairment included, among others, the following:

●Evaluated the effectiveness of controls over management’s assessment of whether there are indicators of impairment or impairment reversal;
●With the assistance of fair value specialists, assessed if changes in market conditions could affect the mining interests’ recoverable amounts materially by:
●Evaluating the future commodity prices by comparing management forecasts to third party pricing sources; and
●Evaluating if there were any significant changes in the market interest rate.

Acquisition of Chaarat ZAAV CJSC — Refer to Note 3 to the financial statements Critical Audit

Matter Description

During the year, the Company completed the acquisition of Chaarat ZAAV CJSC (“ZAAV”), a mining entity holding licenses for the Tulkubash and Kyzyltash deposits and surrounding exploration licenses. The Company also entered into a Cooperation Agreement with the National Investment Agency under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic (the “NIA”), which requires the Company to transfer a 30% interest in ZAAV at a future date and make contingent payments of up to $70 million upon the satisfaction of specified conditions (collectively called “the transaction”). The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the purchase consideration was allocated to identifiable assets acquired on a relative fair value basis.

Determining the appropriate accounting treatment of the transaction required significant judgment, particularly in assessing the accounting implications of the timing of the future transfer of a 30% interest in ZAAV and the timing of the recognition of the $70 million payment (“significant accounting implications”). These matters involved complex considerations of contractual terms, economic substance, and applicable accounting guidance. As a result, auditing the significant accounting implications of the transaction required an increased extent of audit effort, including the involvement of technical accounting specialists.

​

​

​

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the significant accounting implications of the transaction included the following, among others:

●Evaluated the effectiveness of controls over the accounting implications of the transaction;
●With the assistance of technical accounting specialists:
●Evaluated the accounting treatment of the interrelated Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) and Cooperation Agreement, including the identification and measurement of consideration transferred and the assessment of contingent payments and future equity transfers.
●Evaluated the terms of the SPA and Cooperation Agreement to assess the completeness and appropriateness of consideration reflected in the purchase price allocation.

Convertible Notes – Valuation of embedded Conversion Features on date of amendment — Refer to Note 2 and 18 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

During the year, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture amending the terms of its 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes (the “notes”) to eliminate its option to settle certain conversions in cash. As per the amendment, the Company is required to settle the principal amount of the notes upon conversion solely through the issuance of its own common shares. Prior to the amendment, the conversion feature was classified as a derivative liability, as the contractual settlement provisions did not meet the fixed-for-fixed criteria pursuant to IAS 32. In accordance with IFRS 9, management remeasured the derivative liability to fair value as of the amendment date, recognized the resulting gain or loss in profit or loss, and reclassified the liability to equity.

The valuation of the derivative liability as of the amendment date involves significant judgment and estimation uncertainty. The fair value measurement involved the application of complex valuation techniques and required specialized knowledge. This resulted in an increased extent of audit effort, including the involvement of fair value specialists.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the valuation of the derivative liability as of the amendment date included the following, among others:

●Evaluated the effectiveness of controls over the valuation of the derivative liability as of the amendment date;
●With the assistance of fair value specialists, developed an independent estimate of the fair value of the derivative liability as of the amendment date and compared it to management’s calculation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Silvercorp Metals Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Silvercorp Metals Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2026, of the Company and our report dated May 26, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Chaarat ZAAV CJSC, which was acquired on January 27, 2026, and whose financial statements constitute 10% and 8% of net and total assets, respectively, 0% of revenues, and 0% of net income of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended March 31, 2026. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Chaarat ZAAV CJSC.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

​

​

​

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

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.

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.

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

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

In April 2024, theIASB released IFRS 18 Presentationand Disclosure inFinancial Statements. IFRS18 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.

(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

8

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)

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.

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.

(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

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)

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

10

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)

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.

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.

11

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)

●Borrowing costs incurred that are directly attributed to the acquisition, construction and development of a qualifying mineral property.
●Estimated environmental rehabilitation and restoration costs.

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

12

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)

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.

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.

13

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)

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

14

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)

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.

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)

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.

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.

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

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

18

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)

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,

19

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)

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.

20

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)

●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.

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.

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.

INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATES

(a)Investment in New Pacific Metals Corp.

New Pacific Metals Corp. (“NUAG”) is a Canadian public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (symbol: NUAG) and NYSE American (symbol: NEWP). NUAG is a related party of the Company by way of one common director and one common officer, and the Company accounts for its investment in NUAG using the equity method as it is able to exercise significant influence over the financial and operating policies of NUAG.

The Company records a gain or loss on the decrease in interest while an investment continues to be classified as an associate. A gain or loss on the dilution of the Company’s investment in associates is calculated as the difference between Company’s ownership interest in the consideration received by the investee for the subscription of the new shares and the reduction in ownership interest in the previous carrying amount.

On October 21, 2025, NUAG completed a bought deal financing, issuing a total of 11,385,000 common shares. The Company participated in this bought deal and acquired an additional 3,083,536 common shares of NUAG for a cost of approximately $7.8 million. As a result, the Company’s ownership in NUAG increased to 27.99% and has recognized a dilution loss of $0.3 million in the consolidated statements of income.

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)

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.

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

35

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)

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

36

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)

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 following key inputs and assumptions were used when determining the value of the embedded derivative liability:

As at March 31, 2026, the total 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%).

During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred actual reclamation expenditures of $1.1 million (March 31, 2025 - $0.8 million), paid reclamation deposit of $0.7 million (March 31, 2025 - $0.1 million) and received $0.6 million reclamation deposit refund (March 31, 2025 - $0.2 million).

Estimated future reclamation costs are based on the extent of work required and the associated costs are dependent on the requirements of relevant authorities and the Company’s environmental policies. In view of uncertainties concerning environmental rehabilitation obligations, the ultimate costs could be materially different from the amounts estimated.

The Company reclassified the warrants from equity to derivative liabilities at their fair value, the difference between the fair value of the warrants and the carrying value was recognized in equity upon reclassification. All warrants were exercised during the year ended March 31, 2026.

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.

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.

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.

(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

45

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)

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 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.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

(a)Santa Barbara Gold‑Copper Project

On February 24, 2026, the Company and its wholly‑owned subsidiary, Adventus Mining Corporation (together, the “Vendors”) entered into a share purchase agreement with Tincorp Metals Inc., to sell the Company’s wholly‑owned subsidiary, Santa Barbara Metals Inc., which holds the Santa Barbara Gold‑Copper Project located in southeastern Ecuador. The transaction closed on May 13, 2026. Under the terms of the agreement, the consideration consists of 15,000,000 common shares of Tincorp Metals Inc., at a deemed price of CAD$0.40 per share, for an aggregate consideration of CAD$6,000,000; and $13.5 million in cash, payable to the Vendors in staged amounts over a three-year period following the acquisition closing date. In addition, the Vendors will receive a 1.5% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on the Project. Following the completion, the Company’s ownership interest in Tincorp Metals Inc.became 27.4%.

(b)Term Loan Facilities

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

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

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.

(c)Tulkubash/Kyzyltash Projects - Mining License Extension

On May 13, 2026, the Company paid $60 million to the NIA pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, following the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic extending the mining license validity period to July 25, 2062. The Company also completed a restructuring under which the 30% free-carried interest in ZAAV was transferred to Kyrgyzaltyn, a wholly‑owned entity of the Kyrgyz Republic.
