| 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 IFRS® Accounting Standards 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) and a change of functional currency of certain entities of the Company noted in note 2(h) below.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors dated February 10, 2025.
(b) Adoption of New Accounting Standards, Interpretation or Amendments
The Company adopted the following new standards or amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards 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
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)
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, 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
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)
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 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
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)
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.
Table below summarizes the Company’s material subsidiaries which are consolidated as follows:

(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 to acquire control of another company 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 the following areas.
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)
Estimates were used in determining the fair value of the derivative on the convertible notes including subjective assumptions on expected price volatility, credit spread and borrowing costs. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. The underlying assumptions used in the measurement of the derivative on convertible notes are disclosed in Note 15. The Company used judgement in concluding that the convertible notes are hybrid financial instruments as a result of the embedded derivative liability that is the equity conversion with issuer settlement options.
Assessing whether transactions undertaken during 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) 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 all Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese Yuan (“RMB”). The functional currency of New Infini, Adventus and their subsidiaries is U.S. dollars (“USD”). Effective October 1, 2024, the functional currency of the corporate office and all intermediate holding companies, incorporated in Canada and BVI, has changed from the Canadian dollars (“CAD”) to the U.S. dollars. (“USD”). This change reflects the fact that corporate office’s primary economic environment has shifted due to the acquisition of the El Domo project and Condor project in Ecuador, their future development and investment plan, and the issuance of convertible notes, all of which are predominately denominated in US dollars. The change in functional currency is accounted for prospectively in accordance with IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchanges Rates. As the Company’s reporting currency is the US dollars and the change has no impact on the Company’s financial position as at October 1, 2024, other than the remeasurement difference resulting from the reclassification of the share purchase warrants from equity to derivative liabilities, which is charged to retained earnings. Comparative financial information has not been restated.
SILVERCORP METALS INC.

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the reporting 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 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 reporting 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 settled 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 consolidated statements of income as part of the gain or loss on sale.
(h) Convertible Notes
Convertible notes are loans with an equity conversion feature that gives the holder an option to convert the loan into shares of the borrower. Convertible notes are first assessed whether they are compound financial instruments with the host contract being a financial liability and the conversion feature being equity, as required by IAS 32. Under IAS 32, the convertible instrument is assessed by analyzing the two components: the liability host contract and the conversion feature which may be classified as equity or liability. The conversion feature is classified as equity if the Company can satisfy the conversion by exchanging a fixed amount of the Company’s shares for a fixed amount of cash. Otherwise, it will be classified as a derivative liability.
| 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 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.

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.
As at July 31, 2024, Wheaton advanced Adventus a total of $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
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)
$2.5 million, 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.
In November 2024, the Company repaid $13.25 million to Wheaton. As a result of the repayment, the liability of $1.8 million accrued for the gold delivery was derecognized and a gain of $1.8 million was recorded as other income in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of income.
All of the Company’s operations are within the mining and metals industry. The Company reviews its segment reporting to ensure it reflects the operational structure of the Company after the Adventus acquisition and enables the Company’s chief operating decision maker to review operating segment performance.
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 December 31, 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.
(a) Segmented information for operating results is as follows:

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 December 31, 2024 (March 31, 2024 - $2.8 million).
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded rental income of $0.04 million and $0.13 million (three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 - $0.03 million and $0.09 million), which was included in other expenses (income) on the unaudited 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 Kuanping Project has received all required permits and licenses and is now ready for construction.
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, and was dismissed by the provincial court on November 12, 2024, affirming the lower court decision that the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Ecological Transition of Ecuador (“MAATE”) correctly discharged its environmental consultation obligations prior to issuing an environmental license of the El Domo Project. On December 19, 2024, the plaintiff filed an Extraordinary Protection Action (“EPA”) with the Constitutional Court of Ecuador against the ruling by the provincial court, but the EPA has not yet been admitted or dismissed by the Constitutional Court.
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.
On November 25, 2024, the Company issued the unsecured Convertible Senior Notes (“Convertible Notes”) and received gross proceeds of $150 million, before transaction costs of $6.6 million. The Convertible Notes mature on December 15, 2029, and bear interest at 4.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2025. In addition, the Convertible Notes are convertible at the holder’s option into common shares of the Company at any time prior to maturity at a fixed conversion rate of 216.0761 common shares per $1,000 principal amount, representing an initial conversion price of approximately $4.628 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
In addition, if certain fundamental changes occur, including a change in control or upon notice of redemption by the Company as described below, the holders may elect to convert their Convertible Notes and may be entitled to an increased conversion rate. A fundamental change includes the following occurrences:
| ● | A change in control where a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of our voting stock, or gains the power to elect a majority of our board of directors. |
| ● | The consummation of significant transactions such as certain mergers or consolidations pursuant to which our common shares will be converted or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, or sales of substantially all our assets that change the corporate structure or ownership. |
| ● | Approval by our shareholders of any plan for liquidation or dissolution. |

Prior to December 20, 2027, the Company may not redeem the notes except in the event of certain changes in Canadian tax law. At any time on or after December 20, 2027, and until maturity, the Company may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes for cash if the price of the Company’s common shares for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days, ending on the trading day prior to the date of notice of redemption, exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on each such day. The redemption price is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed. In the event of a fundamental change, the Company is required to offer to purchase its outstanding Convertible Notes at a cash purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, ensuring protection against major corporate transformations that could affect the value of the investment held by the holders.
Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes may be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, common shares or a combination thereof. As a result of the Company’s right to elect to settle the conversion in cash or shares, the conversion feature represents a derivative liability which is accounted for initially and subsequently at fair value through profit or loss. The host debt contract is accounted for at amortized cost. Of the gross proceeds of $150 million, $39.1 million was allocated to the derivative liability component first, representing the fair value on November 25, 2024, the residual value of $110.9 million was allocated to the host loan. Transaction costs of $4.9 million associated with the host loan were capitalized to the liability whereas transaction costs of $1.7 million associated with the embedded derivative liability were expensed in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. The $105.9 million net amount allocated to the host loan will be accreted to the face value of the Convertible Notes over the term to maturity using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 12.6%. There are no financial covenants associated with the Convertible Notes.
The following key inputs and assumptions were used when determining the value of the embedded derivative liability:
| | November 25, 2024 | | | December 31, 2024 | |
Share Price: | | | 3.34 | | | | 3.00 | |
Credit spread (basis points): | | | 809 | | | | 610 | |

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 as at December 31, 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.

Significant unobservable inputs are used to determine the fair value of the financial assets, which includes recent arm’s length transactions of the investee, the investee’s financial performance as well as any changes in planned milestones of the investees.
Fair value of the other financial instruments excluded from the table above approximates their carrying amount as at December 31, 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 nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
(b) Liquidity risk

(c) Foreign exchange risk
The Company reports its financial statements in US dollars. The functional currency of the head office, Canadian subsidiaries and intermediate holding companies, except those acquired from the acquisition of Adventus, has changed from the Canadian dollar to the US dollar. The functional currency of Adventus and its subsidiaries, New Infini and its subsidiaries, is the US dollar. The functional currency of all Chinese subsidiaries is Chinese yuan (“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 sensitivity of the Company’s net income due to the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar as at December 31, 2024 is summarized as follows:
Currency | | Cash and cash equivalents | | | Trade and other receivables | | | Other investments | | | Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | | Lease liabilities | | | Total | | | Effect of +/- 10% change in currency | |
Canadian dollar | | $ | 1,783 | | | $ | 199 | | | $ | 6,899 | | | $ | (1,159 | ) | | $ | (1,121 | ) | | $ | 6,601 | | | $ | 660 | |
Australian dollar | | | — | | | | — | | | | 1,994 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 1,994 | | | | 199 | |
| | $ | 1,783 | | | $ | 199 | | | $ | 8,893 | | | $ | (1,159 | ) | | $ | (1,121 | ) | | $ | 8,595 | | | $ | 859 | |
(d) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, lease liabilities, convertible notes, and the mark-to-market value of derivative instruments. All of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments earn interest at market rates that are fixed to maturity or at variable interest rates. 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.
As at December 31, 2024, the Company had $1.4 million lease obligation that are subject to annualized interest rate ranging from 9.2% to 15.6%, and $107.3 million convertible notes liabilities that are discounted at 12.6% of the Company’s unsecured senior convertible notes. The principle of the convertible note is $150.0 million bearing a fixed coupon rate of 4.75% with a maturity date of December 15, 2029. As the amount of the lease obligation is immaterial and the convertible notes bear interest at fixed rates, they are not subject to significant interest rate risk.
As at December 31, 2024, the Company had $30.2 million mark-to-market value derivative liabilities. With other assumptions unchanged, a change of 25 basis points increase or decrease of market interest would have resulted in a decrease (increase) to the net income of approximately $0.4 million.

(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 statements of financial position 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 December 31, 2024 (March 31, 2024 - $nil).
(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 holdings are mainly in mining companies, the value will also fluctuate based on commodity prices. Based upon the Company’s portfolio as at December 31, 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 of $1.1 million.
(g) Metal price risk
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.
