Silvercorp Metals Inc. (TSX: SVM) (NYSE American: SVM) reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $138.7 million, a 70% increase year over year, even as silver production fell 17% to 1.5 million ounces and silver equivalent production dropped 15% to 1.7 million ounces. The decline followed a voluntary suspension of operations in mid-June to complete underground safety upgrades required under new Chinese regulations. Gold production rose 24% to 2,536 ounces during the quarter. The company expects to release its unaudited first-quarter financial results after market close on Aug. 10, 2026.
The revenue growth signals strong operational performance and rising metal prices, though the production dip highlights the impact of regulatory compliance. Investors will watch for the full financial report to assess cost impacts and margin trends.

At the Ying Mining District, construction of the Ying No. 3 mill is underway, which is expected to boost processing capacity and silver output.
