VANCOUVER, BC, May 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Canadian precious metals producer Silvercorp Metals Inc. (TSX: SVM) (NYSE American: SVM) announced Tuesday a semi-annual cash dividend of US$0.0125 per common share, signaling confidence in its operational stability amid volatile commodity markets. The dividend will be payable on or before June 26, 2025, to shareholders of record as of June 6, 2025.
The Vancouver-based miner emphasized that the distribution qualifies as an eligible dividend under Canadian tax regulations, potentially offering favorable treatment for domestic investors. This marks Silvercorp’s latest move to reward shareholders while navigating fluctuating silver prices, which have seesawed between $28 and $34 per ounce this quarter.
“Dividend declarations remain contingent on multiple variables including metals pricing dynamics, operational cash flows, and strategic capital allocation priorities,” the company stated, underscoring its disciplined approach to balancing shareholder returns with growth investments. Analysts note this caution aligns with broader industry trends, as miners juggle inflationary pressures with investor demands for yield.
