      VANCOUVER, BC, May 26, 2026 /CNW/ - Silvercorp Metals Inc. ("Silvercorp" or the "Company") (TSX: SVM) (NYSE American: SVM) reported its financial and operating results for the three months ("Q4 Fiscal 2026") and twelve months ("Fiscal 2026") ended March 31, 2026. All amounts are expressed in US dollars, and figures may not add due to rounding.

      HIGHLIGHTS FOR Q4 FISCAL 2026

      • 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 (silver and gold only) 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 cost ("AISC") 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;
      • Record adjusted net income1 attributable to equity shareholders of $59.3 million, or $0.27 per share, after excluding the non-cash or one-time items, compared to $14.7 million or $0.07 per share in Q4 Fiscal 2025;
      • Net loss attributable to equity shareholders of $0.7 million, or $0.003 per share, mainly due to a $60.4 million non-cash charge on "mark-to-market" of the fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the convertible notes. In Q4 Fiscal 2026  the Company removed the Convertible Notes' cash settlement option, reclassifying the conversion feature from a derivative liability to equity to avoid future fair value volatility in the Profit & Loss account;
      • Robust cash flow from operating activities of $90.2 million, up $59.5 million, compared to $30.7 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025;
      • Capital expenditures: Spent and capitalized $14.6 million on exploration, development, and equipment and facilities at the China operations and $14.6 million at the Ecuador operations for the development and construction of the El Domo mine;
      • Strong free cash flow1 of $57.9 million, up $43.7 million, compared to $14.2 million in Q4 Fiscal 2025;
      • Completed the acquisition of holding 70% Chaarat ZAAV CJSC ("ZAAV") with a $92 million cash payment to Chaarat Gold Holdings Limited ("Chaarat") on January 23, 2026 and a further $60 million payment to the Kyrgyz government subsequent to the quarter after the government issued to ZAAV a new mining license and license agreement extending the valid period of the mining license a further 30 years from June 25, 2032 to June 25, 2062; and
      • Strong treasury position: ended the period with cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $422.3 million, a decrease of $40.5 million from December 31, 2025, and a portfolio of equity investments with a total market value of $274.6 million, an increase of $41.4 million from December 31, 2025.

      INDIVIDUAL MINE OPERATING PERFORMANCE 

      (i) Ying Mining District

      Q4 Fiscal 2026

      The Ying Mining District delivered a stable Q4 Fiscal 2026, with ore mined of 293,437 tonnes, up 43% over Q4 Fiscal 2025, driven by the increased use of shrinkage mining relative to cut-and-fill re-suing. Mill throughput was 311,677 tonnes, up 2% over Q4 Fiscal 2025.

      Production was approximately 1.4 million ounces of silver, 2,492 ounces of gold, or 1.5 million ounces of silver equivalent, 12.9 million pounds of lead, and 1.4 million pounds of zinc, representing decreases of 11% in silver, 20% in gold, 18% in silver equivalent, 17% in lead and 30% in zinc, respectively, over Q4 Fiscal 2025. Lower metal production was due to lower head grades, as a result of higher dilution associated with an increase in more cost efficient shrinkage mining. 

      Cash cost per tonne of ore was $78.27 in Q4 Fiscal 2026, down 8% from Q4 Fiscal 2025 and below the lower end of Fiscal 2026 guidance of $86.8. The improvement reflects ongoing mine mechanization and the greater use of cost-efficient shrinkage mining versus labour intensive re-suing mining, boosting mine and mill productivity. Cash cost per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was negative $1.03, compared with $3.05 in Q4 Fiscal 2025, driven by the lower cost per tonne and an increase of $0.8 million in by-product credits from revenue of non-silver metals.

      AISC per tonne of ore was up 11% in Q4 Fiscal 2026, to $134.23, remaining below the Fiscal 2026 guidance range of $157.8–$160.5. AISC per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was $13.09, delivering robust margins amid higher silver prices.

      Fiscal 2026

      In Fiscal 2026, the Ying Mining District mined approximately 1,211,916 tonnes of ore, up 18% over Fiscal 2025. Mill throughput was 1,188,459 tonnes, up 17% over Fiscal 2025.

      Production was approximately 6.3 million ounces of silver,  8,723 ounces of gold, or 7.0 million ounces of silver equivalent,  55.1 million pounds of lead, and 6.6 million pounds of zinc, representing a production increase of 16% in gold and production decreases of 1% in silver, 1% in silver equivalent, 3% in lead and 23% in zinc 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.  

      Cash cost per tonne of ore was $79.71 in Fiscal 2026, down 10% from Fiscal 2025 and below the lower end of Fiscal 2026 guidance of $86.8, mainly attributable to improved mining and milling productivity driven by increased underground mechanization. Cash cost per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was negative $0.01, compared with $0.62 in Fiscal 2025, driven by the lower cash cost per tonne and an increase of $10.0 million in by-product credits from revenue of non-silver metals.

      AISC per tonne of ore improved 4% in Fiscal 2026, to $134.19, remaining below the Fiscal 2026 guidance range of $157.8–$160.5. AISC per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, was $11.49.

      (ii) GC Mine

      Q4 Fiscal 2026

      The GC Mine produced approximately 0.1 million ounces of silver, 1.1 million pounds of lead, and 2.5 million pounds of zinc in Q4 Fiscal 2026, representing an increase of 3% in silver, 51% in lead and 4% in zinc over Q4 Fiscal 2025, primarily attributable to an increase in ore processed.

      Cash cost per tonne of $71.12 and AISC per tonne of $109.68, and improved 8% and 7%, respectively, from Q4 Fiscal 2025, attributable to a lower unit overhead cost allocation with an increase of 24% in ore processed.

      On a per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits basis, cash cost and AISC were negative $19.93 and $10.22, respectively, compared to negative $8.53 and $15.05 in Q4 Fiscal 2025. The improvement primarily reflects a $1.0 million increase in by-product credits.

      Fiscal 2026

      The GC Mine produced approximately 0.5 million ounces of silver, 5.2 million pounds of lead, and 15.1 million pounds of zinc in Fiscal 2026, representing an increase of 3% in zinc and decreases of 11% in silver and 2% in lead, compared to Fiscal 2025.

      Cash cost per tonne of $60.08 and AISC per tonne of $87.48, and increased 9% and 5%, respectively, from Fiscal 2025, mainly due to a higher per tonne fixed costs allocation resulting from the decrease in ore production.

      On a per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits basis, cash cost and AISC were negative $14.23 and $4.70, respectively, compared to negative $14.71 and $3.12 in Fiscal 2025.

      GC Mine Classification Update

      The Company has commissioned Changsha Mining Research Institute to prepare the development and utilization plan to change the GC's classification from a lead-zinc mine to a silver mine. GC 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 would be considered large-scale and would no longer be subject to this restriction.

      i) Ying Mining District

      Capitalized expenditures for underground ramps, tunnels and drilling amounted to $56.1 million, plus $7.4 million for plant and equipment, compared to $48.2 million for underground ramps, tunnels and drilling and $22.0 million for plant and equipment in Fiscal 2025.

      Design and construction of No. 3 Mill commenced in Q4 Fiscal 2026. With a total budget of $31.6 million, it is expected to add 3,000 tonnes per day of capacity and be commissioned in Q1 Fiscal 2028. This will meet the increasing demand for ore processing which is anticipated to reach 1.6 million tonnes per year by fiscal year 2029. With the No.3 Mill in operation, the No. 1 Mill will be decommissioned, leaving Ying with a net effective 6,500 tonnes per day of milling capacity.

      Additionally, the TLP 35kV Substation and Power Line Construction Project had its construction contract signed on March 9, 2026. The project commenced on April 10, 2026. It is expected to be completed by the end of Q2 Fiscal 2027. This will significantly improve power supply quality and reliability, and will meet the power supply requirements specified in the facilities design for the renewal of its safety production permit.

      ii) GC Mine

      Total capitalized expenditures amounted to $6.0 million, primarily for sustaining activities, as compared to $6.7 million in Fiscal 2025.

      iii) El Domo Project

      Capital expenditures for El Domo totaled $46.4 million, compared to $7.5 million in Fiscal 2025. Mine development activities focused on infrastructure construction such as haul roads, an ore stockpile shed, a waste dump, process plant site preparation, a starter dam for tailing storage facility, a camp, and other site preparations.

      iv) Kuanping Project

      Capital expenditures for Kuanping amounted to $5.4 million, compared to $0.8 million in Fiscal 2025. Mine construction focused on ramp development for access to ore bodies and mining/exploration tunneling. It produced initial amounts of ore in Q1 2027, which was shipped to Ying's process plant for recovery of metals.

      v) Condor Project

      Total expenditures incurred and capitalized were $3.0 million, in which 2,268 metres of diamond drilling was completed to define and upgrade the mineral resources to support potential underground mining. The Company has applied for a small-scale mining environmental license, targeted for Q2 F2027. Once approved, the Company will commence the development of access tunnels to facilitate advanced underground exploration and resource definition.

      vi) Chaarat Project

      The Company paid $92 million to Chaarat to acquire 70% of ZAAV and become the operator, with the Government's company Kyrgyzaltyn holding a 30% free-carried interest. Subsequent to the quarter, the Company paid $60 million to the Kyrgyz government after it issued to ZAAV a new mining license and license agreement extending the valid period of the mining license for a further 30 years from June 25, 2032 to June 25, 2062.
