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 2026In 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.Mining Permit Expansion ApplicationsAs of March 31, 2026, the Company has completed the mining permits extension and mining capacity expansion for the four mining permits comprising the Ying Mining District, which are the SGX, TLP-LM, HPG, and DCG mining permits.

The AI Boom Needs More Silver, and Investors are Taking NoticeApril 9, 2026 7:00 AM
IH Market News
As artificial intelligence drives the scale and growing power consumption of data centers, the long-term demand outlook for industrial silver is on the rise.But silver supply is falling short, and silver mining companies prepared to meet demand are strong candidates for growth-oriented investments.Silver is the metal best suited to power an electrifying, digitizing world. As data centers and AI proliferate, silver is crucial to the mission-critical task of keeping servers and spaces cool and running seamlessly.With its superior conductive qualities, silver is essential to industrial processes ranging from solar power to manufacturing of electric vehicles and everyday electronics.
AI and the Growth of Data Center Infrastructure
The world’s digital infrastructure is skyrocketing. Since 2000, total global information technology power capacity has increased by about 53 times, or 5,252 percent, from .93 gigawatts to nearly 50 gigawatts, according to the Silver Institute.Looking ahead, nearly 100 GW of new data centers are projected to come online between 2026 and 2030, doubling global capacity at a 14 percent CAGR, according to JLL’s 2026 Global Data Center Outlook.Hyperscalers — the cloud service providers operating massive data centers to support their workloads and data volume – are investing $7 trillion through 2030 to scale their data centers with the hardware, processors, memory, storage, and energy essential to operations, reports McKinsey.Driven by increasingly powerful AI functions and applications, global electricity consumption from data centers is expected to double, from 448 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2025 to 980 TWh by 2030, according to Gartner.
Silver: Playing a Critical Role in AI Infrastructure
Information technology’s hunger for power correlates directly to increased demand for silver, which is essential to servers, circuit boards, connectors, switches, and power systems, reports the Silver Institute.According to Oxford Economics’ “Silver: The New Metal,” silver is essential to data centers for its:
Highest electrical conductivity. Conductivity minimizes power loss across connectors and circuits – a must for data-center servers consuming huge quantities of electricity and expected to perform at 99.999 percent critical uptime.
Excellent thermal conductivity. Silver-based thermal materials stabilize temperature ranges for heat-sensitive servers while reducing energy demands for cooling.
High corrosion resistance. Silver resists degradation from high electrical loads and fluctuating temperatures.
AI’s power to drive other technological advancements will continue boosting silver demand “far beyond” data centers, adds Oxford Economics. Autonomous vehicles, robotics, and edge computing devices need silver-rich fuses, switches, and sensors.
Industrial Demand for Silver Is Reaching Record Levels
Silver is irreplaceable in industry, which consumes 59 percent of global silver output. A world running on electronics and electrifying its energy production needs silver for its superior electrical conductivity, durability, and versatility.In addition to the global IT infrastructure, the Silver Institute notes that major consumers of industrial silver include:
Solar photovoltaics: Silver paste applied to the silicon wafers in solar panels efficiently collects and transports electrons. By 2024, the solar energy sector demanded 29 percent of global silver supply , up from 11 percent in 2024.
Automotives and electric vehicles: Global automotive silver demand is expected to rise at 3.4 percent CAGR between 2025 and 2031. All automotives need silver to activate the connections within their sophisticated electronics systems. Electric vehicles – projected to account for 59 percent of global automotive sales by 2031 – consume twice the silver used in internal-combustion engine vehicles, requiring silver for battery management systems, power electronics, charging infrastructure, and electrical contacts.
Advanced electronics: Demand for silver used in electronics is at record highs. Cell phones, monitors, televisions, children’s toys, keyboards need silver for their light-touch on/off switches, electrical pathways, and batteries.
Silver Supply Is Struggling to Keep Pace
In a world clamoring for silver, demand outpaces supply. Steady mine production of 844 million ounces in 2025 is still short by 150 million ounces in 2026, or about 15 percent of total need , according to the Silver Institute.Currently, silver mining generates from 70 percent to 75 percent of supply, while silver recycled from such sources as industrial waste and jewelry provides the rest, according to the World Silver Survey 2025.Silver produced as a byproduct of lead/zinc mining constitutes the largest share of global supply, at 29.4 percent , but production remains flat. Production from primary silver mines is a close second, at 27.8 percent, with worldwide production on the decline, even amid a sustained supply deficit.
Why Investors Are Looking at Silver
Investors turn to silver for its assurances of long-term growth and its responsiveness to economic cycles. Long-term demand is healthy due to silver’s indispensability to manufacturing and the digitization of the global economy.Silver’s stability makes it a safe haven and a hedge for investors protecting their portfolio values amid uncertain macro economic environments and global strife. According to the latest World Silver Survey, 2024 was “an exceptionally good year for silver,” with a 21 percent intra-year price increase, a 59 percent trough-to-peak rally, and robust fundamentals underscored by silver’s fourth consecutive structural deficit.
Why Some Investors Prefer Silver Mining Companies
Investors gain exposure to silver through equity options that diversify their portfolios, hedge against uncertainty, and yield promising returns. They can buy physical silver through their individual retirement accounts, buy into silver-based exchange-traded funds (ETF) and mutual funds, or invest directly in mining stocks.Stock in mining companies gives investors a direct line to silver production. Silver mining companies create value through growth in exploration, development, and production. Silver mining companies can offer higher upside in strong silver markets, and may return capital back to investors through dividend and share buyback programs.Silver mining companies offer advantageous operational leverage through their relatively fixed costs in relation to strong silver prices. The value of silver is on the rise, topping $100 per ounce in late 2025 and above $70 as of late March 2026, while production costs remain stable.
Why Silvercorp
As the silver deficit continues, mining companies poised to contribute significant quantities to supply are ripe for investment. Leading players include Silvercorp, a profitable, undervalued silver producer positioned for growth.Silvercorp (TSX:SVM) (AMEX:SVM), a Canadian mining company, is an established silver producer with best-in-class operations, producing about 7.5 million ounces of silver equivalent, plus about 90 million pounds of lead and zinc per year at their mines in China.Silvercorp offers a trailing 12-month all-in sustaining cost of less than $14 per ounce, net of by-products. Silver production from Silvercorp’s flagship Ying Mining District is increasing with mine optimization and development of the Kuanping satellite mine. Plus, a sizeable resource base supports extension of its Ying and Gaocheng (GC) reserve life of approximately 15 years.In addition, Silvercorp’s diversified pipeline of actionable growth projects in Ecuador, and Kyrgyzstan is in or entering construction. By 2027, they will begin enhancing global metal supply, including substantial amounts of copper, gold and silver, at low all-in sustaining costs. Silvercorp presents compelling value for investors in peer-leading margins, return on equity, and leverage to silver. The industry-leading company trades at a discount to peers, selling below market value on multiple metrics that include a 0.6x P/NAV – the price-to-net asset value that compares market price to market value of underlying assets and reaches as high as +2x among peers.Silvercorp is well covered by institutional brokers, with buy and outperform recommendations from most research analysts. Its highly liquid stock trades about $90 million daily across the US and Canada.More information on Silvercorp, trading on the NYSE American and TSX as SVM, can be found at www.silvercorpmetals.com/welcome.

Mill throughput was 328,425 tonnes, up 18% over Q3 Fiscal 2025.Production was approximately 1.7 million ounces of silver, 2,096 ounces of gold, or 1.9 million ounces of silver equivalent, 14.7 million pounds of lead, and 1.9 million pounds of zinc, representing an increase of 2% in gold and decreases of 2%, 4%, 4%, and 16% in silver, silver equivalent, lead and zinc, respectively, over Q3 Fiscal 2025. Lower production was due to lower head grades, as a result of the XRT sorter undergoing maintenance in October 2025 and higher dilution associated with shrinkage mining.Cash cost per tonne of ore was $75.80 in Q3 Fiscal 2026, down 11% from Q3 Fiscal 2025 and below the Fiscal 2026 guidance range of $86.8–$88.4. The improvement reflects ongoing mine mechanization and greater use of cost-efficient shrinkage mining, boosting mine and mill productivity. On a per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits basis, cash cost was negative $1.22, compared with negative $0.30 in Q3 Fiscal 2025, driven by these factors and a $3.5 million increase in by-product credits.AISC per tonne of ore improved 11% in Q3 Fiscal 2026, to $134.06, remaining below the Fiscal 2026 guidance range of $157.8–$160.5. On a per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits basis, AISC was $11.32, supporting robust margins amid higher silver prices.The mines in the Ying Mining District are expected to be closed for three weeks during the Chinese New Year period in February, but the process plant will continue to operate during the holiday to process the 61,105 tonnes stockpiled at the end of this quarter together with ore stockpiled in January 2026.Ying Mining DistrictThree months ended

Silvercorp Announces Project Update for El DomoFebruary 4, 2026 5:05 PM
PR Newswire (Canada)
Trading Symbol: TSX/NYSE American: SVMVANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 4, 2026 /CNW/ - Silvercorp Metals Inc. ("Silvercorp" or the "Company") (TSX/NYSE American: SVM) (the "Company") announces an update for its budget and construction schedule for the construction of the El Domo Project (the "Project"). The construction budget for the Project has been updated to $284 million, an increase of $44 million compared to the $240 million estimate dated March 31, 2025 (for reference, the 2021 Feasibility Study Budget was $248 million). The main items of increase or decrease are as follows:The VAT: rate has been revised from 10% ($19 million) to 15% ($35 million), resulting in a $16 million increase, which represents 36% of total budget growth. The Company expects to recover this VAT as a tax credit in the first year of operations once concentrate exports commence.Package #1 Construction: $5.1 million increase due to detailed design changes, construction of two rock buttress for waste dumps (SWD and WRF1) were added.The equipment and material purchases of the process plant have increased by $15 million due to: Some equipment was previously missing in both the April 2025 and 2021 Feasibility Studies, e.g. water recycling system from Tailing Storage Facility ("TSF"), SAG mill, regrind mill, bigger flotation cells and thickeners required to accommodate an increase in sulfur content from 9% (2021 Feasibility Study design) to 25% (current design) (~ $11 million).Logistics costs increased by $4 million (considering 15% of all equipment for sea freight, customs fees, storage, local transport, insurance, plus ~ 3.5% import tax), which was previously underestimated.The estimated construction and installation of the process plant have increased by $7.2 million based on the actual construction quotes for the 5000-square-metre ROM ore shack currently under construction.Bypass roads and access roads: $3.3 million increase mainly due to the upgrade of the new southern access road, so that 40-foot container trucks can pass.External powerline: added $2.3 million for payment on behalf of the Ecuador National Power Company (CNEL)for third-party supervision and land easements.Missing items such as Engineer of Record ("EoR"), and construction quality assurance and control ("QA/QC") supervision for TSF construction, site internal power distribution facilities, environment rehabilitation and protection, 4G network added another $10.1 million. Added $6.6 million in local purchases to support local supply chains and economy.Owner's Cost has increased from $30 million to $32.5 million, based on the monthly burn rate and additional expenses (e.g. insurance, services, community and institutional relationship, and security) plus a six-month extension for the construction period-~$2.5 million increase.Package #2 Mining and Stripping: estimated cost has decreased by $4.2 million based on the winning bidder's unit prices.Achieved savings of $4.7 million across various other projects.Contingency has been reduced from 20% ($32 million) to 8% ($17 million), a reduction of $15 million, reflecting more accurate estimates for the current budget. The contingency may account for the diesel price increase during construction (~10% to ~15% increase in unit costs for civil works), and inherent uncertainties as engineering design work continues.Capital Cost Estimate Details:

Total 240.544.5191.947.2283.6Based on this new budget, the El Domo Project is scheduled to be in production by July 1st, 2027, representing a six-month delay from the previous estimate of early-2027.Progress Achieved in 2025:2025 has been a productive year, as we focused on construction Package #1: including Site preparation, Roads, Non-contactWater Channels, TSF, Saprolite Waste Dump ("SWD"), and proceeded with other packages. During the year, we established a new project construction team, while overcoming an exceptionally heavy and long rainy season that lasted well into June, working with different communities and government agencies to ensure a sound working environment. Through the hard work of our local team, CRCC 14 and other contractors, along with the support of communities and government authorities, the Company made significant progress at the Project.Spent $44.5 million in 2025, representing approximately 16% of the total new budget.Successfully cleared 1,040 of the total 1,109 archaeological units, completing archaeological clearance in full compliance with permit conditions to start earth-moving activities.Over 2.6 million cubic metres of material were moved (including topsoil, saprolite and andesite material) for site preparation of Process plant, roads, TSF, SWD, and other site preparation.Built 8.1 km of internal haul roads, providing comprehensive access across the site, and upgraded and repaired 23.1 km of external roads, allowing 40-feet haul truck access. Additionally, 2.1 km of non-contact water channels were excavated as part of a robust water management system.Completed and commissioned the Construction Camp with a capacity of over 600 beds.Blasted at an on-site quarry and from Process plant Site Preparation to generate fresh non-acid generating rock for roads and the construction of the starter dam of the TSF, plus laid the foundation for a 5000 square metre ROM Ore Shed, which will serve as a warehouse initially during the construction period.Yantai Jinpeng Mining Machinery Co.,Ltd has finalized the detailed process flowsheet, equipment selection and cost estimates for the processing plant construction and equipment. The improved process flowsheet introduced a standalone sequential flotation of copper-gold into copper concentrates first; all other parts of the flowsheet follow the previous design. The new metallurgical recovery test results for the sequential flotation of copper-gold into copper concentrates first show a 5.4% increase in copper recovery and a 6.2% increase in gold recovery, enhancing the Project's projected economics.Ordered most of the long-lead time major equipment for the process plant and Diesel Power Generator Sets providing backup power for the entire site; paid a down payment of $7.2 million towards a total contract price of $16.9 million.Continuously engaged with different communities and stakeholders for support.Built an effective, integrated construction team, collaborating among team members at the El Domo construction site, Quito, Vancouver and Beijing.Strong and improving safety culture and management at site, with more than 960,000 hours worked with no major incidents.Implemented and complied with the Environmental Management Plan during construction activities.Bidding for the Package #2 - Open Pit Mining and StrippingAfter a competitive bidding process and several months of negotiation, the Company is expected to execute the mining contract for the construction and operation of the Project with China Railway 19th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. ("CRCC 19") on a "Unit Cost" basis, that is, the cost of drilling, blasting, hauling and dumping or compacting each cubic metre of rock over a certain distance. The fixed unit rate contract is structured into two primary phases: 1) the Construction Phase, valued at $35 million for mining and stripping, includes pre-stripping activities such as earthworks, rock stripping, and by-product ore mining; and 2) the Operations Phase, valued at approximately $63 million over the subsequent five years, covers annual mining and stripping of ore and waste rock. In addition, the contract includes the construction and management of the multi-stage raising of the Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) dam ($8 million). CRCC19 has a regional headquarter in Quito with over ten years operating experience in Ecuador building a large open pit copper-gold mine and ongoing mining and stripping. In advance of executing the contract CRCC 19 began mobilizing personnel to the El Domo site in January 2026 and equipment mobilization will begin this month.Package #3 - Processing plant construction and equipment Yantai Jinpeng Mining Machinery Co.,Ltd is expected to complete the detailed engineering design of the processing plant based on the new flowsheet by early April 2026. This will serve as the cost base to initiate the bidding process for construction. With most equipment already ordered, the primary budget variables for Package #3 would be the construction cost and materialsPackages #4 - External Powerline and standby diesel generatorsThe total distance of the external powerline is 61.3 km. The northern section (27.5 km) and three substations, with a $10.15 million budget, have been awarded to two Ecuadorian contractors last September, but only recently received the approval by CNEL required before construction can be started. The southern part (33.8 km) is pending the completion of detailed engineering design. The powerline is expected to be completed in 2027. As a backup plan, the company has ordered 14MW of diesel generator sets which will be delivered to site by December 2026 for installation. This mitigation plan will ensure power is available for commissioning of the process plant in July 2027, regardless of the External Powerline status.Qualified PersonGuoliang Ma, P.
