| 2. | MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
(a) Statement of Compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and have been condensed with certain disclosures from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies set out in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024 with the exception of the adoption of certain amendments noted in note 2(b) below.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors dated November 6, 2024.
(b) Adoption of New Accounting Standards, Interpretation or Amendments
The Company adopted the following new standards or amendments to IFRS as at April 1, 2024. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1)
The amendments to IAS 1 clarify the presentation of liabilities. The classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on contractual rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and is affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement. A liability not due over the next twelve months is classified as non-current even if management intends or expects to settle the liability within twelve months. The amendment also introduces a definition of ’settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments,
SILVERCORP METALS INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
other assets, or services to the counterparty. The amendment issued in October 2022 also clarifies how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability. Covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. The amendments were applied effective April 1, 2024 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16)
The amendments require a seller-lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a way that it does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The new requirements do not prevent a seller-lessee from recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of a lease. A seller-lessee applies the amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application. The amendments were applied effective April 1, 2024 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Supplier Financing Arrangements (Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7)
The amendments require disclosure requirements regarding the effects of supplier finance arrangement on their liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. Entities are required to disclose the followings:
| ● | The terms and conditions; |
| ● | The amount of the liabilities that are part of the arrangements, breaking out the amounts for which the suppliers have already received payment from the finance providers, and stating where the liabilities are reflected in the balance sheet; |
| ● | Ranges of payment due dates; and |
| ● | Liquidity risk information. |
The amendments were applied effective April 1, 2024 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
(c) New Accounting Standards Issued but not effective
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been issued that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted.
Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1)
In April 2024, the IASB released IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements to: i) present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of earnings, ii) provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (“MPMs”) in the notes to the financial statements, iii) improve aggregation and disaggregation. Some of the requirements in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB also made minor amendments to
SILVERCORP METALS INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share in connection with the new standard. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 18 on its financial statements.
Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21)
The amendments contain guidance to specify when a currency is exchangeable and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment.
Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)
The amendments contain guidance to derecognition of a financial liability settled through electronic transfer, as well as classification of financial assets for:
| ● | Contractual terms that are consistent with a basic lending arrangement; |
| ● | Assets with non-recourse features; |
| ● | Contractually linked instruments. |
Also, additional disclosures relating to investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments.
(d) Basis of Consolidation
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the financial results of Adventus after its acquisition on July 31, 2024.
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 balance sheets. 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.

(ii) Entities added as part of the Adventus acquisition set out in note 3
(e) Business combinations or asset acquisition
It follows the same policies set out in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024.
Previously held interest
In a step acquisition that is not accounted for as a business combination, previously held equity interest in an acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date, and a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss, or other comprehensive income, as appropriate (depending on whether the previously held equity interest was measured at fair value through profit or loss or fair value through other comprehensive income).
(f) Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same significant accounting judgments and estimates set out in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024.
In addition to the judgments and estimates set out in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company has made critical judgments in assessing whether transactions undertaken during
SILVERCORP METALS INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
the reporting period represent business combinations or asset acquisitions in applying IFRS 3 Business Combinations. This distinction affects how assets and liabilities acquired are accounted for and the resulting financial statement impact.
For each acquisition, the Company evaluated whether the transaction met the definition of a business under IFRS 3. This involved assessing if the acquisition included (i) an integrated set of activities and assets, (ii) inputs, and (iii) processes that have the capability to create outputs. Where an acquired set of activities and assets did not meet the criteria of a business, the transaction was classified as an asset acquisition, and consideration paid was allocated to the identifiable net assets on a relative fair value basis.
The following key factors were considered:
| ● | Inputs and processes acquired: Whether the acquired assets included organized workflows, management processes, or a workforce capable of managing and producing outputs. |
| ● | Control over critical processes: An assessment of whether the Group obtained control over processes that are critical to generating outputs. |
| ● | Synergies and strategic benefits: The extent to which the transaction provided synergies or additional strategic capabilities. |
The application of this judgment has a material effect on the financial statements as it influences whether goodwill, deferred taxes are recognized and the accounting treatment for transaction costs.
(g) Deferred revenue
When a cash prepayment is received from customers prior to a sale meeting the criteria of revenue recognition, the amount received is recognized as deferred revenue on the statements of financial position. Revenue will be subsequently recognized in the consolidated statements of income when such criteria are met.
Where the Company determines at the beginning of a precious metals streaming contract that the obligations under it will be satisfied through the delivery of its own production of non-financial items (i.e. gold and silver credits) instead of cash or other financial assets, the Company will account for any upfront cash deposit as deposit liability to be reclassified to deferred revenue on completion of the mine.
The consideration received from deliveries of the gold and silver credits is variable, subject to changes in the total estimated production as well as the prices of the gold and silver credits at the time of delivery. Changes to the variable consideration are accounted for in revenue in the consolidated statements of income.
The deferred revenue contains a significant financing component as the upfront cash deposit is received in advance of the delivery of the concentrate and a financing charge on the deferred revenue is recognized. The interest rate used is based on the implicit rate for the streaming contract on the date of inception, based on the discount rate and the reserve and resources assumed. The financing component attributable to the qualifying asset is capitalized and included as its carrying amounts until the asset is ready for their intended use, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for borrowing costs.
| 3. | ACQUISITION OF ADVENTUS MINING CORPORATION |
On July 31, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Adventus through the purchase of all issued and outstanding common shares of Adventus, not already owned by Silvercorp, by issuing a total of 38,818,841 Silvercorp shares to the original shareholders of Adventus. The Company also issued a total of 1,766,721 Silvercorp stock options to replace Adventus’ outstanding options, and 2,787,020 Silvercorp warrants to replace Adventus’ outstanding warrants. All
SILVERCORP METALS INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
Adventus restricted share units outstanding immediately before closing were settled in cash, funded by the Company through Adventus.
Adventus is a Canadian company focused on the exploration and development of copper-gold mineral projects, mainly the El Domo Project and the Condor Project, in Ecuador. Adventus owns 75% interest in the El Domo Project and 98.7% interest in the Condor Project.
The acquisition has been accounted for as an asset acquisition as it was determined that the mineral projects did not constitute a business as defined by IFRS 3 - Business Combination. The consideration paid along with the transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Adventus, were determined in accordance with IFRS 2 - Share-based Payment, and were allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values.
Table below summarizes the total acquisitions incurred and their allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
An operating segment is defined as a component of the Company that:
| ● | Engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues or incur expenses; |
| ● | Whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity’s chief operating decision maker; and |
| ● | For which discrete financial information is available. |
The Company has determined that each producing mine and significant development property represents an operating segment. The Company has organized its reportable and operating segments by significant revenue streams and geographic regions.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s significant operating segments include its two producing properties in China, two development and exploration projects in Ecuador. “Other” consists primarily of the Company’s corporate assets, other development and exploration properties, and corporate expenses which are not allocated to operating segments.

Investment properties include real estate properties that are rented out to earn rental income. The investment properties were initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis based on the nature and an estimated 20 years’ useful life of the asset. The Company did not engage an independent valuer to value the properties, and the fair value of the properties estimated based on the quoted market prices for the similar real estate properties in the nearby neighborhoods were approximately $1.9 million as at September 30, 2024 (March 31, 2024 - $2.8 million).
During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded rental income of $0.06 million and $0.09 million (three and six months ended September 30, 2023 - $0.03 million and $0.06 million), which was included in other expenses (income) on the condensed consolidated interim statements of income.

The Kuanping Project was acquired in 2021 and is located in Shanzhou District, Sanmenxia City, Henan Province, China, approximately 33 km north of the Ying Mining District. The Company has completed all studies and reports required to construct the mine, and the final approval from the provincial authorities to construct the mine is pending.
The Company acquired the El Domo Project and the Condor Project through the acquisition of Adventus on July 31, 2024.
The El Domo Project is a permitted, pre-construction stage copper-gold project, 75% owned by Adventus. The El Domo Project is located in central Ecuador, approximately 150 km northeast of the major port city of Guayaquil - about a 3-hour drive. The El Domo Project spans low-lying hills and plains between 300 to 900 m above sea level.
In June 2024, an action seeking to void the environmental license of the El Domo project was brought in local court in Las Naves Canton, Bolívar Province, Ecuador (the “Court”) by a group of plaintiffs alleging defects in the environmental consultation process for the El Domo Project. The Court rejected the litigation on July 24, 2024 ruling that the Ecuadorean government correctly discharged its environmental consultation obligations prior to issuing an environmental license for the El Domo Project. The plaintiffs filed an appeal (the “Appeal”) to the provincial court, and the Appeal was heard by the provincial court of Bolívar Province on October 17, 2024, but a ruling has not yet been made.
The Condor Project is located within one of the most developed trends in Ecuador, near large-scale operations such as the Fruta del Norte gold mine (33 km north) and the Mirador copper mine (55 km north) and 98.7% owned by Adventus.
Based on the information posted on the website of the Mineral Rights Administration of the Department of Natural Resources of Henan Province, China (the “Department of Natural Resources”), the Company’s application to renew Yuelianggou Mining License (the “License”), containing the SGX and HZG silver-lead-zinc mine, located in the western part of the Ying Mining District, for another 11 years to September 24, 2035 with an increase in allowable production capacity to 500,000 tonnes per year, has been approved by the Department of Natural Resources. An assessment report, prepared by a third party regarding the historical government investment in the License area and the payment required to compensate the mineral resources transferred to the Company was published on the website of the Department of Natural Resources and was available for public inquires until November 5, 2024. If the Department of Natural Resources did not receive any objections to the assessment report by the end of the public inquiry period, the Department of Natural Resources will enter into a mineral resource transfer agreement with the Company and a digital certificate representing the License will be issued to the Company. The Company has not yet been made aware of any objections. Based on the current assessment report, the Company may be required to make a lump sum payment of approximately $7.2 million to the government upon issuance of the License.
| 15. | LONG TERM DEPOSITS RECEIVED |
In order to develop the El Domo Project, Adventus entered into a precious metals purchase agreement (“PMPA”) with Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd. (“Wheaton”). The PMPA provides Adventus with access to an upfront cash consideration of $175.5 million and a $5.0 million equity commitment. Of this, $13.0 million was made available as an early deposit (the “Early Deposit”) for pre-construction activities, and $0.5 million for local community development initiatives (the “ESG Deposit”) prior to production. The remainder will be available in four installments during construction, subject to certain customary conditions precedent being satisfied.
Under the PMPA, Wheaton will purchase 50% of the payable gold production until 145,000 ounces have been delivered, thereafter dropping to 33% for the life of mine; and 75% of the payable silver production until 4,600,000 ounces have been delivered, thereafter dropping to 50% for the life of mine.
Wheaton will make ongoing payments for the gold and silver ounces delivered equal to 18% of the spot prices (“Production Payment”) until the value of gold and silver delivered less the Production Payment is equal to the upfront consideration of $175.5 million, at which point the Production Payment will increase to 22% of the spot prices.

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
As at September 30, 2024, Wheaton advanced Adventus a total of $13.25 million (July 31, 2024 - $13.25 million), being the $13.0 million as Early Deposit and $0.25 million as ESG Deposit to support the training programs for members of the communities. Pursuant to the terms of the PMPA, Adventus was required to deliver approximately 92.3 ounces to Wheaton monthly until the development of the El Domo Project reaches certain milestones or the deposits will be repaid. The estimated liabilities of this gold delivery were $2.3 million as at September 30, 2024, which are derivative liabilities and have been included in the accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position.

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.
The Company classifies its fair value measurements within a fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements as defined in IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”).
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value level on a recurring basis within the fair value hierarchy as at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 that are not otherwise disclosed. As required by IFRS 13, the assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value of the other financial instruments excluded from the table above approximates their carrying amount as at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they arise. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring actual and projected cash flows and matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. Cash flow forecasting is performed regularly to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after considering cash flows from operations and our holdings of cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The following summarizes the remaining contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities and operating commitments on an undiscounted basis.

The Company reports its financial statements in US dollars. The functional currency of the head office, Canadian subsidiaries and all intermediate holding companies, except those acquired from the acquisition of Adventus, is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”) and the functional currency of all Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese yuan (“RMB”). The functional currency of New Infini and its subsidiaries, Adventus and its subsidiaries is the US dollar (“USD”). 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 sensitivity of the Company’s net income due to the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar as at September 30, 2024, is summarized as follows:
Currency | | Cash and cash equivalents | | | Short-term investments | | | Due from related parties | | | Other investments | | | Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | | Total | | | Effect of +/- 10% change in currency | |
US dollar | | $ | 109,362 | | | $ | 3,008 | | | $ | 1,000 | | | $ | 919 | | | $ | (1,437 | ) | | $ | 112,852 | | | $ | 11,285 | |

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash equivalents and short-term investments. As at September 30, 2024, all of its interest-bearing cash equivalents and short-term investments earn interest at market rates that are fixed to
SILVERCORP METALS INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
maturity or at variable interest rates 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 these financial instruments, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the Company’s net income.
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 with 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. There were no material amounts in trade or other receivables which were past due on September 30, 2024 (March 31, 2024 - $nil).
The Company holds certain marketable securities that will fluctuate in value as a result of trading on financial markets. As the Company’s marketable securities holdings are mainly in mining companies, the value will also fluctuate based on commodity prices. Based upon the Company’s portfolio as at September 30, 2024, a 10% increase (decrease) in the market price of the securities held, ignoring any foreign currency effects, would have resulted in an increase (decrease) to the net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) of $0.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
The Company primarily produces and sells silver, lead, zinc, gold and other metals. In line with market practice, the Company prices its metal concentrates based on the quoted market prices and the head grades of its metal concentrates. The Company’s sales price for silver is fixed against the Shanghai White Platinum & Silver Exchange as quoted at www.ex-silver.com; lead and zinc are fixed against the Shanghai Metals Exchange as quoted at www.shmet.com; and gold is fixed against the Shanghai Gold Exchange as quoted at www.sge.com.cn.
The Company’s revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the mining and sale of silver, lead, zinc, and gold contained in metal concentrates. The prices of those commodities have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control including international and regional economic and political conditions; emerging risks related to pandemics; expectations of inflation; currency exchange fluctuations; interest rates; global or regional supply and demand for jewelry and industrial products containing silver and other metals; sale of silver and other metals by central banks and other holders, forward selling activities, speculators and producers of silver and other metals; availability and costs of metal substitutes; and increased production due to new mine developments and improved mining and production methods. The effects of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the viability of the Company’s exploration projects and mining operations, cannot be accurately predicted and thus the price of base and precious metals may have a significant influence on the market price of the Company’s shares and the value of its projects.
If silver and other metal prices were to decline significantly for an extended period of time, the Company may be unable to continue operations, develop its projects, or fulfil obligations under agreements with the Company’s non-controlling interest holders or under its permits or licenses.
The Company is required to deliver approximately 92.3 ounces of gold to Wheaton monthly until the development of El Domo project reaches certain milestones or the Company repay the early deposit advanced from Wheaton pursuant to the terms of the PPA with Wheaton. A 10% increase in the gold price would increase the Company’s current liabilities by
