Disclosure of significant accounting policies [Abstract]
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Statement of Compliance These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). The policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS in effect as of March 31, 2018. These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors dated on May 23, 2018. (b) 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 consolidated 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. Details of the Company’s significant subsidiaries which are consolidated are as follows: Proportion of ownership interest held Place of March 31, March 31, Name of subsidiaries Principal activity incorporation 2018 2017 Mineral properties Silvercorp Metals China Inc.

(Guangdong Found") Mining China 95% 95% GC (i) British Virgin Island ("BVI") (c) Investments in Associates An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence, and is not a subsidiary or joint venture. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company has power to be actively involved and influential in financial and operating policy decisions of the associate but does not have control or joint control over those policies. 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 are in excess of its investment are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The Company’s share of comprehensive income or losses attributable to shareholders of associates are recognized in comprehensive income during the period. The carrying amount of the Company’s investments in associates also include any long-term debt interests which in substance form part of the Company’s net investment. 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. Details of the Company’s associate are as follows: Proportion of ownership interest held Place of March 31, March 31, Name of associate Principal activity incorporation 2018 2017 New Pacific Metals Corp. ("NUAG") Mining Canada 29.8% 16.1% (d) Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in general and administrative expenses. When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss. (e) Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency for each subsidiary of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the head office, Canadian subsidiaries and all intermediate holding companies is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”). The functional currency of all Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet 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 U.S. dollars (“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 balance sheet 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 repaid 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 statement of income as part of the gain or loss on sale. (f) Revenue Recognition Sales of all metals products, which are contained in direct smelting ore or concentrates, are recognized as revenue. Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company, the sale price can be measured reliably, the Company has no significant continuing involvement and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. These conditions for revenue are satisfied when the title passes to the customer. The passing of title to the customer is based on the terms of the sales contract, which is generally upon shipment of the products. Product pricing is determined at the point revenue is recognized by reference to active and freely traded commodity markets. Under the Company’s concentrate sales contracts with its customers, final commodity prices are set on a specified quotation period, typically ranging from ten to fifteen days around shipment date. Refining and treatment charges are netted against revenue from metal concentrate sales. (g) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash, and short-term money market instruments that are readily convertible to cash with original terms of three months or less. (h) Short-term Investments Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit and money market instruments, including cashable guaranteed investment certificates, bearer deposit notes and commercial paper with original terms of three months or more, but less than one year. Bonds traded on open markets are also included in short-term investments. (i) Inventories Inventories include metals contained in concentrates, direct smelting ore, stockpile ore and operating materials and supplies. The classification of metals inventory is determined by the stage at which the ore is in the production process. Mined materials that do not contain a minimum quantity of metal needed to compensate the estimated processing expenses for recovery of the contained metal, are not classified as inventory and are assigned no value. Direct smelting ore and stockpiled ore are valued at the lower of mining cost and net realizable value. Mining cost includes the cost of raw material, mining contractor cost, direct labour costs, depletion and depreciation, and applicable production overheads, based on normal operating capacity. Concentrate inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of concentrate inventories includes the mining cost for stockpiled ore milled, freight charges for shipping stockpile ore from mine sites to mill sites and milling cost. Milling cost includes cost of materials and supplies, direct labour costs, and applicable production overheads cost, based on normal operating capacity. Material and supplies are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average cost basis, and net realizable value. 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. (j) 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 5 years 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 its 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 are recognized in net income. (k) Mineral Rights and Properties The cost of acquiring mineral rights and properties as part of a business combination is capitalized and represents the property’s fair value at the date of acquisition. Fair value is determined by estimating the value of the property’s reserves, resources and exploration potential. The cost of acquiring or renewing an exploration or mining permit or mineral rights and properties not as part of a business combination is recognized at the amount paid and capitalized. Exploration and evaluation costs incurred associated with specific mineral rights and properties prior to demonstrable technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are capitalized. The Company determines that a property is in the development stage when it has completed a positive economic analysis of the mineral deposit. Subsequent development costs incurred prior to the commercial production stage are capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the related property in the period incurred. Proceeds from sales during this period, if any, are offset against costs capitalized. When a property has achieved operational results that are expected to remain at a sustainable operational level over a period of time, it enters the commercial production stage. Quantitative and qualitative factors indicating the achievement of commercial production stage include but are not limited to the following: A significant portion of planned capacity, production levels, grades and recovery rate are achieved at a sustainable level; completion of major mine and plant components; significant milestones such as obtaining necessary permits and production inputs are achieved to allow continuous and sustainable operations; and management’s intended operating results are being achieved consistently for a period of time. Production costs incurred during commercial production stage are included in cost of sales. Development costs incurred during commercial production stage that provide access to reserve and resources that will be produced in future periods that would not have otherwise been accessible are capitalized. Upon commencement of commercial production, mineral rights and properties and capitalized expenditures, other than the mine right fee to renew a mining permit, 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. Amounts capitalized for the mine right fee are depleted using the units of production method based on the mineral resources which were used to determine the mine right fee payable. (l) Impairment of Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets, including mineral rights and properties, plant and equipment are reviewed and tested for impairment when indicators of impairment are considered to exist. Impairment assessments are conducted at the level of cash-generating units (“CGU”), which is the lowest level for which identifiable cash inflows are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess of carrying amount of a CGU over its recoverable amount, which is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For mineral rights and properties and processing facilities, the recoverable amount is estimated as the discounted future net cash flows expected to be derived from expected future production, metal prices, and net proceeds from the disposition of assets on retirement, less operating and capital costs. Impairment losses are recognized in the period they are incurred. For exploration and evaluation assets, indication of impairment includes but is not limited to, expiration of the right to explore, abandonment of the property, substantive expenditures in the specific area are neither budgeted nor planned, and exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources. Impairment losses are reversed if the conditions that gave rise to the impairment are no longer present and it has been determined that the asset is no longer impaired as a result. This reversal is recognized in net income in the period the reversal occurs limited by the carrying value that would have been determined, net of any depreciation, had no impairment charge been recognized in prior years. (m) Environmental Rehabilitation Provision The mining, extraction and processing activities of the Company normally give rise to obligations for site closure or rehabilitation. Closure and decommissioning works can include facility decommissioning and dismantling; removal or treatment of waste materials; site and land rehabilitation. The extent of work required and the associated costs are dependent on the requirements of relevant authorities and the Company’s environmental policies. Provisions for the cost of each closure and rehabilitation program are recognized at the time when environmental disturbance occurs. When the extent of disturbance increases over the life of an operation, the provision is increased accordingly. Costs included in the provision encompass all closure and decommissioning activity expected to occur progressively over the life of the operation and at the time of closure in connection with disturbances at the reporting date. Routine operating costs that may impact the ultimate closure and decommissioning activities, such as waste material handling conducted as an integral part of a mining or production process, are not included in the provision. 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 expenses. Closure and decommissioning provisions are also adjusted for changes in estimates. Those adjustments are accounted for as a change in the corresponding capitalized cost. 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. (n) 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. (o) Share-based Payments The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for all stock options awarded to employees, officers, directors, and consultants using the fair value method. The fair value of the stock options at the date of grant is expensed over the vesting periods of the stock options with a corresponding increase to equity. The fair value of options granted to employees, officers, and directors is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market related inputs as of the date of grant. 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. Forfeitures are accounted for using estimates based on historical actual forfeiture data. Share-based compensation expenses for options granted to those working in exploration are capitalized in mineral rights and properties. Upon the exercise of the stock option, consideration received and the related amount transferred from contributed surplus are recorded as share capital. (p) 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 balance sheet 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. (q) Earnings per Share Earnings per share is 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 our 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, and repurchased from proceeds, is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. (r) Financial Instruments The Company had previously early adopted IFRS 9 (2010) to account for its 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: I. Non-equity instruments: IFRS 9 (2010) 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 cash flows; and ii. All contractual cash flows represent only principal and interest on that principal. All other instruments are mandatorily measured at fair value. II. Equity instruments: At initial recognition, for equity instruments other than held for trading, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate it as either FVTPL or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”). Financial assets classified as amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premiums on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest method. Amortization from the effective interest method is included in finance income. Financial assets classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in profit or loss. Equity investments designated as FVTOCI are measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Dividends from that investment are recorded in profit or loss when the Company's right to receive payment of the dividend is established unless they represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost: The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that financial assets or group of financial assets measured at amortized cost are impaired. Impairment losses and reversal of impairment losses, if any, are recognized in profit or loss in the period they are incurred. Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities: Financial liabilities classified as amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premiums on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest method. Amortization 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: cash and cash equivalents and other investments - warrants; Financial assets classified as FVTOCI: other investments - common shares; Financial assets classified as amortized cost: short-term investments, 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: 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, although the cumulative gain or loss may be transferred within equity. 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 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 dif

Disclosure of detailed information about financial instruments [abstract]
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company manages its exposure to financial risks, including liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and equity price risk in accordance with its risk management framework. The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis. (a) Fair value The Company classifies its fair value measurements within a fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements as defined in IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”). Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value level on a recurring basis within the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 that are not otherwise disclosed. As required by IFRS 13, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Fair value as at March 31, 2018 Recurring measurements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 49,199 $ - $ - $ 49,199 Investments in publicly traded companies 6,132 - - 6,132 Fair value as at March 31, 2017 Recurring measurements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 73,003 $ - $ - $ 73,003 Investments in publicly traded companies 1,207 - - 1,207 Fair value of the other financial instruments excluded from the table above approximates their carrying amount as at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively, due to the short-term nature of these instruments. There were no transfers into or out of level 3 during the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. (b) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its short term business requirements. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansion plans. 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. March 31, 2018 March 31, 2017 Within a year 2-3 years 4-5 years Total Total Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 25,198 $ - $ - $ 25,198 $ 30,374 (c) Foreign exchange risk The Company reports its financial statements in US dollars. The functional currency of the head office, Canadian subsidiaries and all intermediate holding companies is CAD and the functional currency of all Chinese subsidiaries is RMB. 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 Company currently does not engage in foreign exchange currency hedging. The Company's exposure to currency risk affect net income is summarized as follow: March 31, 2018 March 31, 2017 Financial assets denominated in U.S. Dollars $ 27,256 $ 29,093 Financial assets denominated in Chinese RMB $ - $ 7,115 As at March 31, 2018, with other variables unchanged, a 10% strengthening (weakening) of the CAD against the USD would have decreased (increased) net income by approximately $2.7 million. (d) Interest rate risk The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash equivalents and short term investments. As at March 31, 2018, all of its interest-bearing cash equivalents and short term investments earn interest at market rates that are fixed to maturity or at variable interest rate with terms of less than one year. The Company monitors its exposure to changes in interest rates on cash equivalents and short term investments. Due to the short term nature of the financial instruments, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the Company’s after-tax net income. (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 balance sheet 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. The Company has trade receivables from time to time from its major customers primarily in China engaged in the mining and milling of base and polymetallic metals. The historical level of customer default is zero and aging of trade receivables are no more than 180 days, and, as a result, the credit risk associated with trade receivables from customers as at March 31, 2018 is considered to be immaterial. There were no amounts in receivables which were past due at March 31, 2018 (at March 31, 2017 - $nil) for which no provision is recognized. (f) 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 holding are mainly in mining companies, the value will also fluctuate based on commodity prices. Based upon the Company’s portfolio at March 31, 2018, 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 comprehensive income of approximately $610.

Disclosure of commitments and contingencies [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	22. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments, not disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements, are as follows: Total Less than 1 year 1-5 years After 5 years Operating leases $ 3,353 $ 888 $ 2,465 $ - Commitments $ 6,418 $ - $ - $ 6,418 As of March 31, 2018, the Company has two office rental agreements totaling $3,353 for the next four years and commitments of $6,418 related to the GC property. During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred rental expenses of $684 (year ended March 31, 2017 - $611), which were included in office and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of income. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to, among other things, unregistered prior agreements or transfers and may be affected by undetected defects. Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, the Company is subject to various claims, legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company and its legal counsel evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought. Major legal proceedings against the Company are summarized as follows: On August 19, 2014, an action was commenced against the Company in the Supreme Court of British Columbia seeking an unspecified amount of damages for a claim of false imprisonment and defamation (the “Huang Action”). The case was scheduled for a 60 day jury trial, commencing February 2018. The Company also commenced third party proceedings against other parties (the “Third Parties”), claiming contribution and indemnity. On August 22, 2016, the Company commenced an action against the parties to Huang Action and others seeking damages (the “Silvercorp Action”). In January 2018, the parties to the Huang Action and Silvercorp Action reached a confidential settlement agreement. The settlement resolves all claims between the Company, Mr. During the year ended March 31, 2016, an action was initiated by Luoyang Mining Group Co., Ltd. (“Luoyang Mining”) against Henan Found seeking payment of $1.6 million (RMB10.0 million) plus interest related to the acquisition agreements Henan Found entered into in August 2012 to acquire the XHP Project. The $1.6 million has been included into the accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company. Henan Found did not make the final payment as certain commercial conditions were not fulfilled by Luoyang Mining. In April 2016, Henan Found filed a counter claim in Luoyang People’s Court against Luoyang Mining to have the original acquisition agreements nullified and is seeking repayment of the amount paid to date of $9.7 million (RMB62.8 million) plus compensation of direct loss of $2.5 million (RMB16.5 million) arising from the XHP Project. A trial was heard in March 2017 and the court decision is pending. The acquisition costs of the XHP Project was impaired to $nil in fiscal year 2015. During the year ended March 31, 2016, SX Gold, a 100% owned subsidiary of Henan Found, commenced a legal action against Luoyang HA Mining Co. Ltd. (“HA Mining”) to seek payment of $4.0 million (RMB26.0 million) plus interest related to a share transfer agreement that SX Gold entered into with HA Mining in September 2013. Pursuant to the agreement, SX Gold was to transfer all shares it held in Songxian Zhongxin Mining Co. Ltd. to HA Mining for $11.8 million (RMB76.0 million).

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	24. SUBSEQUENT EVENT As reported on the Company’s new releases dated April 16, 2018 and May 1, 2018, the Company reported a spillage incident at the Ying Mining District that a small amount of tailings leaking from the No. 2 tailing facility to Chong-Yang Creek at approximately 9:30 pm on April 12, 2018. Silvercorp’s subsidiary, Henan Found, took immediate actions and the leakage was fully controlled and stopped as of 12:00 pm of April 13, 2018. No personal injuries were incurred and the results of ongoing water tests from Chong-Yang Creek are within the acceptable national water quality standards. Due to the incident, milling operations at the Ying Mining District were temporarily suspended. On April 28, 2018, one floatation line of 1,000 tonnes per day at the No. 2 mill, using the No. 1 tailing storage facility resumed operation, and full mill operations resumed on May 23, 2018. As the milling capacity of Henan Found is approximately 25% greater than the mining capacity, the temporary suspension of the milling operations is expected to have minimal impact on overall annual production.

Disclosure of significant accounting policies [Abstract]
Statement of Compliance	(a) Statement of Compliance These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). The policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS in effect as of March 31, 2018. These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors dated on May 23, 2018.
Basis of Consolidation	(b) 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 consolidated 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. Details of the Company’s significant subsidiaries which are consolidated are as follows: Proportion of ownership interest held Place of March 31, March 31, Name of subsidiaries Principal activity incorporation 2018 2017 Mineral properties Silvercorp Metals China Inc.

Investments in Associates	(c) Investments in Associates An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence, and is not a subsidiary or joint venture. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company has power to be actively involved and influential in financial and operating policy decisions of the associate but does not have control or joint control over those policies. 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 are in excess of its investment are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The Company’s share of comprehensive income or losses attributable to shareholders of associates are recognized in comprehensive income during the period. The carrying amount of the Company’s investments in associates also include any long-term debt interests which in substance form part of the Company’s net investment. 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. Details of the Company’s associate are as follows: Proportion of ownership interest held Place of March 31, March 31, Name of associate Principal activity incorporation 2018 2017 New Pacific Metals Corp. ("NUAG") Mining Canada 29.8% 16.1%
Business Combinations	(d) Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in general and administrative expenses. When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.
Foreign Currency Translation	(e) Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency for each subsidiary of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the head office, Canadian subsidiaries and all intermediate holding companies is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”). The functional currency of all Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet 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 U.S. dollars (“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 balance sheet 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 repaid 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 statement of income as part of the gain or loss on sale.
Revenue Recognition	(f) Revenue Recognition Sales of all metals products, which are contained in direct smelting ore or concentrates, are recognized as revenue. Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company, the sale price can be measured reliably, the Company has no significant continuing involvement and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. These conditions for revenue are satisfied when the title passes to the customer. The passing of title to the customer is based on the terms of the sales contract, which is generally upon shipment of the products. Product pricing is determined at the point revenue is recognized by reference to active and freely traded commodity markets. Under the Company’s concentrate sales contracts with its customers, final commodity prices are set on a specified quotation period, typically ranging from ten to fifteen days around shipment date. Refining and treatment charges are netted against revenue from metal concentrate sales.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash, and short-term money market instruments that are readily convertible to cash with original terms of three months or less.
Short-term Investments	(h) Short-term Investments Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit and money market instruments, including cashable guaranteed investment certificates, bearer deposit notes and commercial paper with original terms of three months or more, but less than one year. Bonds traded on open markets are also included in short-term investments.
Inventories	(i) Inventories Inventories include metals contained in concentrates, direct smelting ore, stockpile ore and operating materials and supplies. The classification of metals inventory is determined by the stage at which the ore is in the production process. Mined materials that do not contain a minimum quantity of metal needed to compensate the estimated processing expenses for recovery of the contained metal, are not classified as inventory and are assigned no value. Direct smelting ore and stockpiled ore are valued at the lower of mining cost and net realizable value. Mining cost includes the cost of raw material, mining contractor cost, direct labour costs, depletion and depreciation, and applicable production overheads, based on normal operating capacity. Concentrate inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of concentrate inventories includes the mining cost for stockpiled ore milled, freight charges for shipping stockpile ore from mine sites to mill sites and milling cost. Milling cost includes cost of materials and supplies, direct labour costs, and applicable production overheads cost, based on normal operating capacity. Material and supplies are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average cost basis, and net realizable value. 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.
Plant and Equipment	(j) 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 5 years 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 its 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 are recognized in net income.
Mineral Rights and Properties	(k) Mineral Rights and Properties The cost of acquiring mineral rights and properties as part of a business combination is capitalized and represents the property’s fair value at the date of acquisition. Fair value is determined by estimating the value of the property’s reserves, resources and exploration potential. The cost of acquiring or renewing an exploration or mining permit or mineral rights and properties not as part of a business combination is recognized at the amount paid and capitalized. Exploration and evaluation costs incurred associated with specific mineral rights and properties prior to demonstrable technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are capitalized. The Company determines that a property is in the development stage when it has completed a positive economic analysis of the mineral deposit. Subsequent development costs incurred prior to the commercial production stage are capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the related property in the period incurred. Proceeds from sales during this period, if any, are offset against costs capitalized. When a property has achieved operational results that are expected to remain at a sustainable operational level over a period of time, it enters the commercial production stage. Quantitative and qualitative factors indicating the achievement of commercial production stage include but are not limited to the following: A significant portion of planned capacity, production levels, grades and recovery rate are achieved at a sustainable level; completion of major mine and plant components; significant milestones such as obtaining necessary permits and production inputs are achieved to allow continuous and sustainable operations; and management’s intended operating results are being achieved consistently for a period of time. Production costs incurred during commercial production stage are included in cost of sales. Development costs incurred during commercial production stage that provide access to reserve and resources that will be produced in future periods that would not have otherwise been accessible are capitalized. Upon commencement of commercial production, mineral rights and properties and capitalized expenditures, other than the mine right fee to renew a mining permit, 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. Amounts capitalized for the mine right fee are depleted using the units of production method based on the mineral resources which were used to determine the mine right fee payable.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets	(l) Impairment of Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets, including mineral rights and properties, plant and equipment are reviewed and tested for impairment when indicators of impairment are considered to exist. Impairment assessments are conducted at the level of cash-generating units (“CGU”), which is the lowest level for which identifiable cash inflows are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess of carrying amount of a CGU over its recoverable amount, which is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For mineral rights and properties and processing facilities, the recoverable amount is estimated as the discounted future net cash flows expected to be derived from expected future production, metal prices, and net proceeds from the disposition of assets on retirement, less operating and capital costs. Impairment losses are recognized in the period they are incurred. For exploration and evaluation assets, indication of impairment includes but is not limited to, expiration of the right to explore, abandonment of the property, substantive expenditures in the specific area are neither budgeted nor planned, and exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources. Impairment losses are reversed if the conditions that gave rise to the impairment are no longer present and it has been determined that the asset is no longer impaired as a result. This reversal is recognized in net income in the period the reversal occurs limited by the carrying value that would have been determined, net of any depreciation, had no impairment charge been recognized in prior years.
Environmental Rehabilitation Provision	(m) Environmental Rehabilitation Provision The mining, extraction and processing activities of the Company normally give rise to obligations for site closure or rehabilitation. Closure and decommissioning works can include facility decommissioning and dismantling; removal or treatment of waste materials; site and land rehabilitation. The extent of work required and the associated costs are dependent on the requirements of relevant authorities and the Company’s environmental policies. Provisions for the cost of each closure and rehabilitation program are recognized at the time when environmental disturbance occurs. When the extent of disturbance increases over the life of an operation, the provision is increased accordingly. Costs included in the provision encompass all closure and decommissioning activity expected to occur progressively over the life of the operation and at the time of closure in connection with disturbances at the reporting date. Routine operating costs that may impact the ultimate closure and decommissioning activities, such as waste material handling conducted as an integral part of a mining or production process, are not included in the provision. 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 expenses. Closure and decommissioning provisions are also adjusted for changes in estimates. Those adjustments are accounted for as a change in the corresponding capitalized cost. 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.
Borrowing Costs	(n) 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.
Share-based Payments	(o) Share-based Payments The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for all stock options awarded to employees, officers, directors, and consultants using the fair value method. The fair value of the stock options at the date of grant is expensed over the vesting periods of the stock options with a corresponding increase to equity. The fair value of options granted to employees, officers, and directors is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market related inputs as of the date of grant. 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. Forfeitures are accounted for using estimates based on historical actual forfeiture data. Share-based compensation expenses for options granted to those working in exploration are capitalized in mineral rights and properties. Upon the exercise of the stock option, consideration received and the related amount transferred from contributed surplus are recorded as share capital.
Income Taxes	(p) 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 balance sheet 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.
Earnings per Share	(q) Earnings per Share Earnings per share is 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 our 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, and repurchased from proceeds, is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
Financial Instruments	(r) Financial Instruments The Company had previously early adopted IFRS 9 (2010) to account for its 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: I. Non-equity instruments: IFRS 9 (2010) 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 cash flows; and ii. All contractual cash flows represent only principal and interest on that principal. All other instruments are mandatorily measured at fair value. II. Equity instruments: At initial recognition, for equity instruments other than held for trading, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate it as either FVTPL or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”). Financial assets classified as amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premiums on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest method. Amortization from the effective interest method is included in finance income. Financial assets classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in profit or loss. Equity investments designated as FVTOCI are measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Dividends from that investment are recorded in profit or loss when the Company's right to receive payment of the dividend is established unless they represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost: The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that financial assets or group of financial assets measured at amortized cost are impaired. Impairment losses and reversal of impairment losses, if any, are recognized in profit or loss in the period they are incurred. Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities: Financial liabilities classified as amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premiums on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest method. Amortization 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: cash and cash equivalents and other investments - warrants; Financial assets classified as FVTOCI: other investments - common shares; Financial assets classified as amortized cost: short-term investments, 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: 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, although the cumulative gain or loss may be transferred within equity. 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 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 statement of income. Offsetting of financial instruments: Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement 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.
Government Assistance	(s) 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.
Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates	(t) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, 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. Areas of significant judgments include: Capitalization of expenditures with respect to exploration, evaluation and development costs to be included in mineral rights and properties. Anticipated reinvestment of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, therefore no withholding taxes was accrued. Accounting and impairment or impairment reversal assessment for equity investments and investment in associates. Accounting and impairment or impairment reversal assessment for mineral rights and properties. Determination of functional currency for all entities in the group. Determination of the components of each CGU. Areas of significant estimates include: Ore reserve and mineral resource estimates Ore reserves are estimates of the amount of ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the Company’s mining properties. The Company estimates its ore reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological and technical data on the size, depth, shape and grade of the ore body and suitable production techniques and recovery rates. Such an analysis requires complex engineering and geological judgements to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable reserves is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, and production costs along with engineering and geological assumptions and judgements made in estimating the size and grade of the ore body. The Company estimates ore reserves in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”, issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators. There are numerous assumptions including: Future production estimates – which include proved and probable reserves, resource estimates and committed expansions; Expected future commodity prices, based on current market price, forward prices and the Company’s assessment of the long-term average price; and Future cash costs of production, capital expenditure and rehabilitation obligations. As the economic assumptions change and as additional geological information is produced during the operation of a mine, estimates of reserves may change. Such changes may impact the Company’s reported financial position and results which include: The carrying value of mineral rights and properties and plant and equipment may be affected due to changes in estimated future cash flows; Depreciation and depletion charges in net income may change where such charges are determined using the units of production method, or where the useful life of the related assets change; and The recognition and carrying value of deferred income tax assets may change due to changes in the judgements regarding the existence of such assets and in estimates of the likely recovery of such assets. Impairment of assets Where an indicator of impairment exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is determined as the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. These assessments require the use of estimates and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), discount rates, operating costs, future capital requirements, closure and rehabilitation costs, exploration potential, reserves and operating performance (which includes production and sales volumes). These estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty. Therefore, there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will impact these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of assets and/or CGUs. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. Fair value for mineral assets is generally determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows arising from the continued use of the asset, which includes estimates such as the cost of future expansion plans and eventual disposal, using assumptions that an independent market participant may take into account. Cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
