Silvercorp Files Base Shelf Prospectus

VANCOUVER, BC – Silvercorp Metals Inc. (SVM), a Canadian-based mining firm dual-listed on the TSX and NYSE American, announced the filing of a base shelf prospectus, signaling its intent to maintain financial flexibility amidst evolving market dynamics. The filing, dated September 4, 2025, allows Silvercorp to potentially offer up to $400 million USD in securities over the next 25 months.

The securities covered by the prospectus include common shares, preferred shares, debt securities, subscription receipts, units, and warrants, providing Silvercorp with a range of options for capital raising. This move aligns with the company’s historical practice of maintaining a base shelf prospectus, a strategic measure that allows for opportunistic capital market access.

While the filing is now effective with both Canadian securities commissions and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Silvercorp emphasized that there is “no present intention” to immediately offer securities under this prospectus. Industry analysts suggest this move is less about immediate capital needs and more about positioning the company to act swiftly should favorable market conditions emerge.

The specific terms of any future offerings, including the use of proceeds, would be detailed in subsequent shelf prospectus supplements. These offerings could take various forms, including “at-the-market” transactions, public offerings, or strategic investments, depending on market conditions and Silvercorp’s strategic priorities. The company outlined that any offers will be determined based on the market conditions at the time of sale and subject to applicable regulations.

Silvercorp’s strategy involves not only operating long-life mines like the Ying Mining District in China, but also aggressive exploration and potential mergers and acquisitions. Access to flexible financing mechanisms, such as this base shelf prospectus, is crucial for executing this multi-pronged strategy in a dynamic commodity market.

The company’s last filing showed a strong balance sheet, however having such a tool allows the company to quickly deploy capital based on their organic growth, merger and acquisition goals. Recent volatility in silver prices and broader economic uncertainty have made access to capital increasingly important for mining companies. This base shelf prospectus provides Silvercorp with a valuable tool to navigate these challenges and pursue its growth objectives.

Silvercorp Metals Inc. is a Canadian mining company focused on producing silver, gold, lead, and zinc. The Company’s strategy is to create shareholder value by focusing on generating free cash flow from long-life mines, organic growth through extensive drilling for discovery, ongoing merger and acquisition efforts to unlock value and a long-term commitment to responsible mining and ESG.
