SILVERCORP METALS INC.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Silvercorp Metals Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Silvercorp Metals Inc.
and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of
income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the
period ended March 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial
statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2022, in conformity with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31,
2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated May 25, 2022,
expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing
procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on
a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also
included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the
financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee
and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2)
involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit
1
matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are
not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit
matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Impairment – Assessment of Whether Indicators of Impairment or Impairment Reversal Exist in Non-
financial Assets — Refer to Note 2 to the Financial Statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s determination of whether or not an indication of impairment or impairment reversal
exists at the cash generating unit level requires significant management judgment. Changes in metal price
forecasts, estimated future costs of production, estimated future capital costs, the amount of recoverable
mineral reserves and mineral resources and/or adverse or favorable current economics can result in a
write-down or write-up of the carrying amounts of the Company’s mining interests.
While there are several factors that are required to determine whether or not an indicator of impairment
or impairment reversal exists, the judgements with the highest degree of subjectivity are future
commodity prices (for both silver and lead), forecast production output (for both silver and lead), and
changes in market conditions. Auditing these estimates and market conditions required a high degree of
subjectivity in applying audit procedures and in evaluating the results of those procedures. This resulted
in an increased extent of audit effort, including the involvement of fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the future commodity prices (for both silver and lead), forecast
production output (for both silver and lead), and the changes in market conditions in assessing indicators
of impairment or impairment reversal included the following, among others:
• Evaluated the effectiveness of controls over management’s assessment of whether there are
indicators of impairment or impairment reversal.
• Evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast future production output by:
o Assessing the methodology used in management’s determination of the future production,
and
o Comparing management’s future production to historical data.
• With the assistance of fair value specialists, assessed if changes in market conditions could likely affect
the mining interests’ recoverable amounts materially by:
o Evaluating the future commodity prices by comparing management forecasts to third party
pricing sources,
o Evaluating if there were any significant changes in the market interest rates, and
o Assessing implied in-situ multiples in comparable market transactions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Silvercorp Metals Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Silvercorp Metals Inc. and subsidiaries
(the “Company") as of March 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of March 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March
31, 2022, of the Company and our report dated May 25, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those
financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included
in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on
our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent
with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
4
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company is a publicly listed company incorporated in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, with
limited liability under the legislation of the Province of British Columbia. The Company’s shares are traded on
the Toronto Stock Exchange and NYSE American.
The head office, registered address and records office of the Company are located at 1066 West Hastings
Street, Suite 1750, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3X1.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The
policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS in effect as of March 31, 2022.
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the
Board of Directors dated on May 25, 2022.
(b) Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated 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.
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 statement of financial position. 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.

Details of the Company’s significant subsidiaries which are consolidated are as follows:
(c) Investments in Associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence but not control and is not a
subsidiary or joint venture. Significant influence is presumed to exist where the Company has between 20%
and 50% of the voting rights, but can also arise when the Company has power to be actively involved and
influential in financial and operating policy decisions of the entity even though Company has less than 20%
of voting rights.
The Company accounts for its investments in associates using the equity method. Under the equity method,
the Company’s investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and subsequently increased or
decreased to recognize the Company’s share of profit and loss of the associate and for impairment losses
after the initial recognition date. The Company’s share of an associate’s loss that are in excess of its
investment are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive
obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The Company’s share of comprehensive income
or losses attributable to shareholders of associates are recognized in comprehensive income during the
period. The carrying amount of the Company’s investments in associates also include any long-term debt
interests which in substance form part of the Company’s net investment. Distributions received from an
associate are accounted for as a reduction in the carrying amount of the Company’s investment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that an
investment in an associate is impaired. Objective evidence includes observable data indicating there is a
measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows of the associate’s operations. When there is
objective evidence that an investment in an associate is impaired, the carrying amount is compared to its
recoverable amount, being the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and value in use. An impairment loss
is recognized if the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. When an impairment loss reverses
in a subsequent period, the carrying amount of the investment is increased to the revised estimate of
recoverable amount to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount
that would have been determined had an impairment loss not been previously recognized. Impairment
losses and reversal of impairment losses, if any, are recognized in net income in the period in which the
relevant circumstances are identified.
Details of the Company’s associates are as follows:
(d) Business Combinations or asset acquisition
Optional concentration test
The Company applies an optional concentration test, on a transaction-by-transaction basis, that permits a
simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The concentration
test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single
identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The gross assets under assessment exclude cash and
cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, and goodwill resulting from the effects of deferred tax liabilities. If the
concentration test is met, the set of activities and assets is determined not to be a business and no further
assessment is needed.
Asset acquisitions
When the Company acquires a group of assets and liabilities that do not constitute a business, the Company
identifies and recognizes the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed by allocating the
purchase price first to financial assets/financial liabilities at the respective fair values, the remaining balance
of the purchase price is then allocated to the other identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their
relative fair values at the date of purchase. Such a transaction does not give rise to goodwill or bargain
purchase gain.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is
measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the
amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company elects
whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate
share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in
general and administrative expenses.

When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for
in accordance with the contractual terms, economic
appropriate classification and designation
circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously
held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.
(e) 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. Other than New Infini and its subsidiaries, the functional currency
of the head office, Canadian subsidiaries and all intermediate holding companies is the Canadian dollar
(“CAD”). The functional currency of all Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The functional
currency of New Infini and its subsidiaries is USD.
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 U.S. dollars (“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 repaid 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 statement of income as
part of the gain or loss on sale.
(f) Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the asset sold is transferred to
customers and the Company satisfies its performance obligation. Revenue is allocated to each performance
obligation. The Company considers the terms of the contract in determining the transfer price. The
transaction price is based upon the amount the Company expects to receive in exchange for the transferring
of the assets. In determining whether the Company has satisfied a performance obligation, it considers the
indicators of the transfer of control, which include, but are not limited to, whether: the Company has a
present right to payment; the customer has legal title to the asset; the Company has transferred physical
possession of the asset to the customer; and the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership
of the asset. This generally occurs when the assets are loaded on the trucks arranged by the customer at
the Company’s milling facilities. In cases where the Company is responsible for the costs of shipping and
certain other services after the date on which the control of the assets transferred to the customer, these
other services are considered separate performance obligations and thus a portion of revenue earned under
the contract is allocated and recognized as these performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue from concentrate sales is typically recorded based on the Company’s assay results for the quantity
and quality of concentrate sold and the applicable commodity prices, such as silver, gold, lead and zinc, set
on a specific quotation period, typical ranging from ten to fifteen days around shipment date, by reference
to active and freely traded commodity market. Adjustments, if any, related to the final assay results for the
quantity and quality of concentrate sold are not significant and do not constrain the recognition of revenue.
Smelter charges, including refining and treatment charges, are netted against revenue from metal
concentrate sales.
(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and held at banks and short-term money market
investments that are readily convertible to cash with original terms of three months or less and exclude any
restricted cash that is not available for use by the Company.
(h) Short-term Investments
Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit and money market instruments, including cashable
guaranteed investment certificates, bearer deposit notes and other financial assets with original terms of
over three months but less than one year. Bonds traded on open markets are also included in short-term
investments.
(i) Inventories
Inventories include concentrate inventories, direct smelting ore, stockpile ore and operating materials and
supplies. The classification of inventory is determined by the stage at which the ore is in the production
process. Material that does not contain a minimum quantity of metal to cover estimated processing
expenses to recover the contained metal is not classified as inventory and is assigned no value.
Direct smelting ore and stockpiled ore are sampled for metal content and are valued at the lower of mining
cost and net realizable value. Mining cost includes the cost of raw material, mining contractor cost, direct
labour costs, depletion and depreciation, and applicable production overheads, based on normal operating
capacity. Concentrate inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of
concentrate inventories includes the mining cost for stockpiled ore milled, freight charges for shipping
stockpile ore from mine sites to mill sites and milling cost. Milling cost includes cost of materials and supplies,
direct labour costs, and applicable production overheads cost, based on normal operating capacity. Material
and supplies are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average cost basis, and net realizable
value.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sales.

(j) Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost, including all directly attributable costs to bring the assets
to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management. Plant and equipment are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis based on the nature and useful lives of
the assets. The significant classes of plant and equipment and their estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings
Office equipment
Machinery
Motor vehicles
Land use rights
Leasehold improvements
20 years
5 years
5-10 years
5 years
50 years
5 years
Subsequent costs that meet the asset recognition criteria are capitalized, while costs incurred that do not
extend the economic useful life of an asset are considered repairs and maintenance, which are accounted
for as an expense recognized during the period.
Assets under construction are capitalized as construction-in-progress. The cost of construction-in-progress
comprises of the asset’s purchase price and any costs directly attributable to bringing it into working
condition for its intended use. Construction-in-progress assets are transferred to other respective asset
classes and are depreciated when they are completed and available for use.
Upon disposal or abandonment, the carrying amounts of plant and equipment are derecognized and any
associated gain or loss is recognized in net income.
(k) Mineral Rights and Properties
Mineral rights and properties include the following capitalized payments and expenditures:
-
-
-
Acquisition costs which consist of payments for property rights and leases, including payments to
acquire or renew an exploration or mining permit, and the estimated fair value of properties
acquired as part of business combination or the acquisition of a group of assets.
Exploration and evaluation costs incurred on a specific property after an acquisition of a beneficial
interest or option in the property. Exploration and evaluation expenditures on properties for which
the Company does not have title or rights to are expensed when incurred. Exploration and
evaluation activities involve the search for mineral resources, the determination of technical
feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource.
Development costs incurred to construct a mine and bring it into commercial production. Proceeds
from sales generate during this development and pre-production stage, if any, are deducted from
the costs of the asset.

-
-
-
Expenditures incurred on producing properties that are expected to have future economic benefit,
including to extend the life of the mine and to increase production by providing access to additional
reserves, such as exploration tunneling that can increase or upgrade the mineral resources, and
development tunneling, including to build shafts, drifts, ramps, and access corridors that enable to
access ore underground.
Borrowing costs incurred that are directly attributed to the acquisition, construction and
development of a qualifying mineral property.
Estimated of environmental rehabilitation and restoration costs.
Before commencement of commercial production, mineral rights and properties are carried at costs, less
any accumulated impairment charges.
Upon commencement of commercial production, mineral rights and properties are carried at costs, less
accumulated depletion and any accumulated impairment charges. Mineral rights and properties, other than
the payments to renew mining permits (the “mine right fee”) are depleted over the mine’s estimated life
using the units of production method calculated based on proven and probable reserves. Estimation of
proven and probable reserves for each property is updated when relative information is available; the result
will be prospectively applied to calculate depletion amounts for future periods. If commercial production
commences prior to the determination of proven and probable reserves, depletion is calculated based on
the mineable portion of measured and indicated resources. The mine right fee is depleted using the units
of production method based on the mineral resources which were used to determine the mine right fee
payable.
(l) Impairment and Impairment Reversal
At each reporting period, the Company reviews and evaluates its assets for impairment, or reversal of a
previously recognized impairment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related
carrying amounts may not be recoverable or when there is an indication that impairment may have reversed.
When impairment indicators exist, an estimate of the recoverable amount is undertaken, being the higher
of an asset’s fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCTD”) and value in use (“VIU”). If the carrying value exceeds
the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income during
the period.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific
to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. The cash flows are based
on best estimates of expected future cash flows from the continued use of the asset and its eventual disposal.
FVLCTD is best evidence if obtained from an active market or binding sale agreement. Where neither exists,
the fair value is based the best estimates available to reflect the amount that could be received from an
arm’s length transaction. Fair value of asset is generally determined as the present value of the estimated
future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset, including any expansion prospects.
Impairment is normally assessed at the level of cash-generating units (“CGU”), a CGU is identified as the
smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows which are independent of the cash inflows
generated from other assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
When there is an indication that an impairment loss recognized previously may no longer exist or has
decreased, the recoverable amount is calculated. If the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount,
the carrying value of the asset is increased to the recoverable amount. The increased carrying amount
cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been
recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as a gain in the
consolidated statements of income in the period it is determined.
(m) Environmental Rehabilitation Provision
The mining, extraction and processing activities of the Company normally give rise to obligations for site
closure or rehabilitation. Closure and decommissioning works can include facility decommissioning and
dismantling; removal or treatment of waste materials; site and land rehabilitation. The extent of work
required and the associated costs are dependent on the requirements of relevant authorities and the
Company’s environmental policies. Provisions for the cost of each closure and rehabilitation program are
recognized at the time when environmental disturbance occurs. When the extent of disturbance increases
over the life of an operation, the provision is increased accordingly. Costs included in the provision
encompass all closure and decommissioning activity expected to occur progressively over the life of the
operation and at the time of closure in connection with disturbances at the reporting date. Routine
operating costs that may impact the ultimate closure and decommissioning activities, such as waste material
handling conducted as an integral part of a mining or production process, are not included in the provision.
Costs arising from unforeseen circumstances, such as the contamination caused by unplanned discharges,
are recognized as an expense and liability when the event gives rise to an obligation which is probable and
capable of reliable estimation. The timing of the actual closure and decommissioning expenditure is
dependent upon a number of factors such as the life and nature of the asset, the operating license
conditions, and the environment in which the mine operates. Expenditure may occur before and after
closure and can continue for an extended period of time dependent on closure and decommissioning
requirements.
Closure and decommissioning provisions are measured at the expected amount of future cash flows,
discounted to their present value for each operation. Discount rates used are specific to the underlying
obligation. Significant judgments and estimates are involved in forming expectations of future activities and
the amount and timing of the associated cash flows. Those expectations are formed based on existing
environmental and regulatory requirements which give rise to a constructive or legal obligation.
When provisions for closure and decommissioning are initially recognized, the corresponding cost is
capitalized as an asset, representing part of the cost of acquiring the future economic benefits of the
operation. The capitalized cost of closure and decommissioning activities is recognized in Mineral Rights and
Properties and depleted accordingly. The value of the provision is progressively increased over time as the
effect of discounting unwinds, creating an expense recognized
in finance costs. Closure and
decommissioning provisions are also adjusted for changes in estimates. Those adjustments are accounted
for as a change in the corresponding capitalized cost, except where a reduction in the provision is greater
than the undepreciated capitalized cost of the related assets, in which case the capitalized cost is reduced
to nil and the remaining adjustment is recognized in the income statement. In the case of closed sites,
changes to estimated costs are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of income. Changes
to the capitalized cost result in an adjustment to future depreciation and finance charges.

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
Adjustments to the estimated amount and timing of future closure and decommissioning cash flows are a
normal occurrence in light of the significant judgments and estimates involved. The provision is reviewed
at the end of each reporting period for changes to obligations, legislation or discount rates that impact
estimated costs or lives of operations and adjusted to reflect current best estimate.
The cost of the related asset is adjusted for changes in the provision resulting from changes in the estimated
cash flows or discount rate and the adjusted cost of the asset is depreciated prospectively.
(n) Leases
Lease Definition
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract
is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration. An identified asset may be implicitly or explicitly specified in a contract, but
must be physically distinct, and must not have the ability for substitution by a lessor. A lessee has the right
to control an identified asset if it obtains substantially all of its economic benefits and either pre-determines
or directs how and for what purposes the asset is used.
Measurement of Right of Use (“ROU”) Assets and Lease Obligations
At the commencement of a lease, the Company, if acting in capacity as a lessee, recognizes an ROU asset
and a lease obligation. The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the
lease obligation adjusted for any lease payments made at, or before, the commencement date, plus any
initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received.
The ROU asset is subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of the lease,
or the useful life of the asset determined on the same basis as the Company’s plant and equipment. The
ROU asset is periodically adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease obligation, and reduced by
impairment losses, if any. If an ROU asset is subsequently leased to a third party (a “sublease”) and the
sublease is classified as a finance lease, the carrying value of the ROU asset to the extent of the sublease is
derecognized. Any difference between the ROU asset and the lease receivable arising from the sublease is
recognized in profit or loss.
The lease obligation is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments remaining at the lease
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental
borrowing rate if the rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined. Lease payments included in the
measurement of the lease obligation, when applicable, may comprise of fixed payments, variable payments
that depend on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and the
exercise price under a purchase, extension or termination option that the Company is reasonably certain to
exercise.
The lease obligation is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is
remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if
there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value
guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or
termination option. When the lease obligation is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the
carrying amount of the ROU asset.

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
Measurement of Lease Receivable
At the commencement of a lease, the Company, if acting in capacity as a lessor, will classify the lease as
finance lease and recognize a lease receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease if it
transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset or if the lease
is a sublease, by reference to the ROU asset arising from the original lease (the “head lease”). A lease is
classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of an underlying asset or the lease is a short-term lease. Cash received from an operating lease
is included in other income in the Company’s consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over
the period the lease.
The lease receivable is initially measure at the present value of the lease payments remaining at the lease
commencement date, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental
borrowing rate if the sublease is a finance lease. The lease receivable is subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest rate method, and reduced by the amount received and impairment losses,
if any.
Recognition Exemptions
The Company has elected not to recognize the ROU asset and lease obligations for short-term leases that
have a lease term of 12 months or less or for leases of low-value assets. Payments associated with these
leases are recognized as general and administrative expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term on
the consolidated statement of income.
(o) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset, which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, are
capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which
they are incurred. No borrowing costs were capitalized in the periods presented.
(p) Share-based Payments
The Company makes share-based awards, including restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance share units
(“PSUs”), and stock options, to employees, officers, directors, and consultants.
For equity-settled awards, the fair value is charged to the consolidated statements of income and credited
to equity, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, after adjusting for the estimated number of awards
that are expected to vest. The fair value of RSUs and PSUs is determined based on quoted market price of
our common shares at the date of grant. The fair value of the stock options granted to employees, officers,
and directors is determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market
related input. The fair value of stock options granted to consultants is measured at the fair value of the
services delivered unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, which then is determined using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock options with graded vesting schedules are accounted for as
separate grants with different vesting periods and fair values.

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
At each reporting date prior to vesting, the cumulative expense representing the extent to which the vesting
period has expired and management’s best estimate of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest is
computed (after adjusting for non-market performance conditions). The movement in cumulative expense
is recognized in the consolidated statements of income with a corresponding entry within equity. No
expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional
upon a market condition, which are treated as vested irrespective of whether or not the market condition
is satisfied, provided that all other performance conditions are satisfied.
(q) Income Taxes
Current tax for each taxable entity is based on the local taxable income at the local statutory tax rate enacted
or substantively enacted at the reporting date and includes adjustments to tax payable or recoverable in
respect to previous periods.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are only offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off the
amounts, and the Company intends to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences at the
reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and their carrying amounts for financial
reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry
forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will
be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits
and unused tax losses, can be utilized, except:
-
- where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the
time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates
and interests in joint ventures, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is
probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be
available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all
or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are
reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable
that future taxable profit will be available to allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the
year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists
to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to
the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(r) Earnings per Share
Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income available to equity holders of the Company by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect
the potential dilution that could occur if additional common shares are assumed to be issued under
securities that entitle their holders to obtain common shares in the future. For stock options and warrants,
the number of additional shares for inclusion in diluted earnings per share calculations is determined by the
options and warrants, whose exercise price is less than the average market price of the Company’s common
shares, are assumed to be exercised and the proceeds are used to repurchase common shares at the average
market price for the period. The incremental number of common shares issued under stock options, and
repurchased from proceeds, is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
(s) Financial Instruments
Initial recognition:
On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded at fair value adjusted for
directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets and liabilities classified as fair value through
profit or loss (“FVTPL”), in which case transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets:
Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the classification of such assets.
I.
II.
Non-equity instruments:
IFRS 9 includes a single model that has only two classification categories for financial instruments
other than equity instruments: amortized cost and fair value. To qualify for amortized cost
accounting, the instrument must meet two criteria:
i.
The objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of the
contractual cash flows; and
All contractual cash flows represent only principal and interest on that principal.
ii.
All other instruments are mandatorily measured at fair value.
Equity instruments:
At initial recognition, for equity instruments other than held for trading, the Company may make
an irrevocable election to designate them, on instrument by instrument basis, as either FVTPL or
fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”).
Financial assets classified as amortized cost are measured at the amount of initial recognition minus
principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any
difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any impairment loss
allowance. Amortization or interest income from the effective interest method is included in finance
income.
Financial assets classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in profit
or loss. Equity investments designated as FVTOCI are measured at fair value with changes in fair values
recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Dividends from that investment are recorded in profit
or loss when the Company's right to receive payment of the dividend is established unless they represent a
recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

SILVERCORP METALS INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
Impairment of financial assets carried at amortized cost:
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on its financial assets carried at
amortized cost. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting period to reflect changes
in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities:
Financial liabilities classified as amortized cost are measured at the amount of initial recognition minus
principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any
difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount. Amortization or interest expense using
the effective interest method is included in finance costs.
Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in profit
or loss.
The Company classifies its financial instruments as follows:
-
Financial assets classified as FVTPL: cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments – money
market instruments, and other investments - equity investments designated as FVTPL and warrants;
Financial assets classified as FVTOCI: other investments - equity investments designated as FVTOCI;
Financial assets classified as amortized cost: short-term investments - bonds, trade and other
receivables and due from related parties;
Financial liabilities classified as amortized cost: accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends
payable, bank loan, customer deposits and due to related parties.
-
-
-
Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities:
A financial asset is derecognized when:
-
-
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-
through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and
rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities classified as amortized cost are
recognized in profit or loss when the instrument is derecognized or impaired, as well as through the
amortization process.
Gains and losses on derecognition of equity investments designated as FVTOCI (including any related foreign
exchange component) are recognized in OCI. Amounts presented in OCI are not subsequently transferred
to profit or loss.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another liability from the same lender on
substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an
exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability. In this case, a new liability is
recognized, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of income.

Offsetting of financial instruments:
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of
financial position if and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts
and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle liabilities simultaneously.
Fair value of financial instruments:
The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined
by reference to quoted market prices, without deduction for transaction costs. For financial instruments
that are not traded in active markets, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques,
such as using a recent arm’s length market transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties,
discounted cash flow analysis, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially
the same, or other valuation models.
(t) Government Assistance
Refundable mining exploration tax credits received from eligible mining exploration expenditures and other
government grants received for project construction and development reduce the carrying amount of the
related mineral rights and properties or plant and equipment assets. The depletion or depreciation of the
related mineral rights and properties or plant and equipment assets is calculated based on the net amount.
Government subsidies as compensation for expenses already incurred are recognized in profit and loss
during the period in which it becomes receivable.
(u) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Although these judgments and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based
on management’s experience and best knowledge of relevant facts and circumstances, actual results may
differ from these estimates.
Areas where critical accounting judgments have the most significant effect on the consolidated financial
statements include:
Capitalization of expenditures included in mineral rights and properties – management has determined
that those capitalized expenditures, including exploration and evaluation expenditures and development
costs incurred at producing properties, have potential future economic benefits and are potentially
economically recoverable, subject to impairment analysis. Management uses several criteria in its
assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit, including geologic and
metallurgic information, history of conversion of mineral deposits to proven and probable reserves, scoping
and feasibility studies, accessible facilities, existing permits, whether to extend of the mine life, increase
future production, or to provide access to a component of an ore body that will be mined in a future period.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
Indicators of impairment and impairment reversal - Management applies significant judgement in
assessing whether indicators of impairment or reserve impairment exist for an asset or group of assets which
would necessitate impairment testing. Internal and external factors such as significant changes in the use of
the asset, commodity prices, and interest rates are used in determining whether there are indicators.
Income taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on difference between the financial
statements carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax based and loss carried
forward. Withholding tax are determined based on the earnings of foreign subsidiary distributed to the
Company.
The recognition of deferred tax assets and the determination of the ability of the Company to utilize tax loss
carry-forwards to offset deferred tax liabilities requires management to exercise judgement and make
certain assumptions about the future performance of the Company. Management is required to access
whether it is “probable” that the Company will benefit from these prior losses and other deferred tax assets.
Changes in economic conditions, metal prices, and other factors could result in revision to the estimates of
the benefits to be realized or the timing of utilization of the losses.
Functional currency - The determination of an entity’s functional currency often requires significant
judgement where the primary economic environment in which the entity operates may not be clear. This
can have a significant impact on the consolidated results based the foreign currency translation method of
the Company.
Contingencies - Contingencies can be either possible assets or liabilities arising from past events which, by
their nature, will only be resolved when one or more future events not wholly within our control occur or
fail to occur. The assessment of such contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment
and estimates of the outcome of future events. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal, tax or
regulatory proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims, that may result in such proceedings
or regulatory or government actions that may negatively impact our business or operations, we evaluate
with our legal counsel the perceived merits of any legal, tax or regulatory proceedings, unasserted claims or
actions. Also evaluated are the perceived merits of the nature and amount of relief sought or expected to
be sought, when determining the amount, if any, to recognize as a contingent liability or assessing the
impact on the carrying value of assets. Contingent assets or liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated
financial statements.

Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates - Mineral reserves and mineral resources are estimated
by qualified persons in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, “Standards of Disclosure form Mineral
Projects”, issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in
estimating mineral reserves and mineral resources, including many factors beyond the Company’s control.
Such estimation is a subjective process, and the accuracy of any mineral reserve or mineral resource
estimate is a function of the quantity and quality of available data and of the assumptions made and
judgements used in engineering and geological interpretation. Changes in assumptions, including metal
prices, production costs, recovery rate, and market conditions could result in mineral reserve and mineral
resource estimate revision. Such change could impact depreciation and amortization rates, asset carrying
value and the environmental and rehabilitation provision.
Impairment and reserve impairment of assets - Where an indicator of impairment and reserves impairment
exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is determined as the higher of FVLCTD
and VIU.
The determination of FVLCTD and VIU requires management to make estimates and assumptions about
expected production based on current estimates of recoverable metal, commodity prices, operating costs,
taxes and export duties, inflation and foreign exchange, salvage value, future capital expenditures and
discount rates. The estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty; hence, there is the
possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the recoverable
amount of the assets. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be further
impaired or the impairment charge reversed with the impact recorded in the consolidated statements of
(loss) income.
Valuation of inventory - Stockpiled ore, direct smelting ore, and concentrate inventories are valued at the
lower of average cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is calculated as the estimated price at
the time of sale based on prevailing and forecast metal prices less estimated future production costs to
convert the inventory into saleable form and associated selling costs. The determination of forecast sales
price, recovery rates, grade, assumed contained metal in stockpiles and production and selling costs
requires significant assumptions that may impact the stated value of our inventory and lead to changes in
NRV. In determining the value of material and supplies inventory, we make estimates of the amounts to be
used and realizable value through disposals or sales. Changes in these estimates can result in a change in
carrying amounts of inventory, as well as cost of sales.
Environmental rehabilitation provision and the timing of expenditures - Environmental rehabilitation costs
are a consequence of exploration activities and mining. The cost estimates are updated annually during the
life of a mine to reflect known developments, (e.g. revisions to cost estimates and to the estimated lives of
operations), and are subject to review at regular intervals. Decommissioning, restoration and similar
liabilities are estimated bases on the Company’s interpretation of current regulatory requirements,
constructive obligations and are measured at the best estimates of expenditures required to settle the
present obligation of decommissioning, restoration or similar liabilities that may occur over the life of the
mine. The carrying amount is determined based on the net present value of estimated future cash
expenditures for the settlement of decommissioning, restoration or similar liabilities that may occur over
the life of the mine. Such estimates are subject to change based on change in laws and regulations and
negotiations with regulatory authorities.

3. ACQUISITION
Acquisition in Fiscal 2022
In October 2021, the Company, through a 100% owned subsidiary of Henan Found, won an online open
auction to acquire a 100% interest in the Kuanping silver-lead-zinc-gold project (the “Kuanping Project”).
The transaction was successfully completed in November 2021 for a total consideration of $13.1 million,
comprised of approximately $11.4 million in cash (RMB ¥73.5 million) plus the assumption of approximately
$2.0 million (RMB ¥13.3 million) of debt, and net of $0.3 million cash received. The acquisition was through
the acquisition of a 100% interest in the shares of Shanxian Xinbaoyuan Mining Co. Ltd. (“Xinbaoyuan”), an
affiliate of a Henan Provincial government-controlled company located in Sanmenxia City, Henan Province.
The material asset held by Xinbaoyuan is the Kuanping Project. As Henan Found’s subsidiary is considered a
domestic Chinese company, the acquisition was not subject to the national security clearance.
The Kuanping Project is located in Shanzhou District, Sanmenxia City, Henan Province, China, approximately
33 km north of the Ying Mining District. The Kuanping Project covers an area of 12.39 km², being
approximately 3 km wide (east-west) and 5 km long (north-south).
The exploration rights of the Kuanping Project are currently in a reservation period for mining permit
application, and the Company is in the process of applying for the mining permit.
The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of assets as the purchase price was concentrated on a
single asset. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative
fair value basis with $13.1 million allocated to mineral property interest.
Acquisition in Fiscal 2021
On December 17, 2020 the Company and its subsidiary New Infini entered into a framework agreement (the
“Agreement”) with several arm’s length vendors (the “Vendors”), whereby New Infini agreed to acquire 100%
interest in the La Yesca Silver Project (“La Yesca”) through the indirect purchase of all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Infini Resources, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican company which owns La Yesca.
La Yesca is a silver-polymetallic, epithermal-type project located approximately 100 kilometres (“km”) (185
km by road) northwest of Guadalajara, the second-largest city in Mexico. The concessions comprising La
Yesca cover an area of approximately 47.7 km2. In total, 7,649 metres from 25 drill holes have previously
been completed, all of which intersected mineralization.
The purchase consideration and payment terms for the acquisition of La Yesca are summarized as follows:
• Upon closing of the Agreement, a $8.3 million cash payment (the “Initial Cash Payment”) and the
transfer of a 45% interest in the issued and outstanding shares of New Infini (the “New Infini
Shares”) to the Vendors;
• Within 90 days of closing of the Agreement, a cash payment of $1 million, less any liabilities
contemplated under the Agreement (together with the Initial Cash Payment, the “Cash
Consideration”); and
• A “Discovery payment” of up to $30 million calculated on the basis of $0.20 per ounce of Ag
resources as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects
paid by New Infini to the Vendors subject to certain permitting considerations.

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)
The Company paid $7.6 million of the Cash Consideration through a capital injection to New Infini to hold
45% of the issued and outstanding New Infini Shares. A group of the Company’s directors, officers,
employees and consultants paid $1.7 million of the Cash Consideration collectively to hold 10% of the issued
and outstanding New Infini Shares. The transaction has been accounted for as an acquisition of assets as
the purchase price was concentrated on a single asset, the La Yesca mineral property interest. The purchase
consideration was allocated to the assets acquired based on their relative fair values at the date of the
acquisition, net of any associated liabilities.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s undiscounted cash flows to their present
value for its lease receivable and lease obligation as at March 31, 2022:
The lease receivable and lease obligation were discounted using an estimated incremental borrowing rate
of 5%.
11. ENVIRONMENTAL REHABILITATION
The following table presents the reconciliation of the beginning and ending obligations associated with the
retirement of the properties:
As at March 31, 2022, the total undiscounted amount of estimated cash flows required to settle the
Company’s environmental rehabilitation provision was $12.3 million (March 31, 2021 - $10.5 million) over
the next twenty-five years, which has been discounted using an average discount rate of 3.01% (March 31,
2021 – 3.39%).
During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred actual reclamation expenditures of $0.5
million (year ended March 31, 2021 - $0.2 million), paid reclamation deposit of $0.3 million (year ended
March 31, 2021 - $0.5 million) and received nil reclamation deposit refund (year ended March 31, 2021 -
$1.9 million).
Estimated future reclamation costs are based on the extent of work required and the associated costs are
dependent on the requirements of relevant authorities and the Company’s environmental policies. In view
of uncertainties concerning environmental rehabilitation obligations, the ultimate costs could be materially

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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.
(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 March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. 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.
Financial assets classified within Level 3 are equity investments in private companies owned by the
Company. 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 March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the year ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its short-term business requirements.
The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support
the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansion plans.
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.
(c) Foreign exchange risk
The Company reports its financial statements in US dollars. The functional currency of the head office,
Canadian subsidiaries and all intermediate holding companies is CAD and the functional currency of all
Chinese subsidiaries is RMB. The functional currency of New Infini and its subsidiaries is 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 Company's exposure
to currency risk affect net income is summarized as follows:
As at March 31, 2022, with other variables unchanged, a 10% strengthening (weakening) of the CAD against
the USD would have decreased (increased) net income by approximately $6.0 million.
(d) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash equivalents and short term investments. As at
March 31, 2022, all of its interest-bearing cash equivalents and short-term investments earn interest at
market rates that are fixed to 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.

(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 in the consolidated statement 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 March 31, 2022 (at March 31, 2021
- $nil).
(f) Equity price risk
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 March 31, 2022, 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 and other comprehensive income of $1.2 million
and $0.2 million, respectively.
22. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company's reportable operating segments are components of the Company where separate financial
