Trading Symbol:   TSX/NYSE AMERICAN: SVM

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;

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.
