Market Opportunity

The global demand for silver, gold, and base metals remains strong, driven by industrial applications, investment demand, and renewable energy initiatives. Silvercorp is well positioned to capitalize on rising silver demand, particularly in China, where 80% of the world’s solar panels are manufactured—an industry heavily reliant on silver.

Ecuador’s mining sector is experiencing rapid growth, with government support for foreign investment and infrastructure improvements. Mining exports in the country surged from $275 million in 2018 to $3.3 billion in 2023, highlighting the sector’s increasing economic importance. Silvercorp’s El Domo and Condor projects are poised to become key contributors to Ecuador’s mining expansion.

Industry forecasts indicate continued growth in silver and base metal prices, benefiting producers with strong operational performance and cost controls. Silvercorp’s diversified asset base and low-cost production profile provide resilience against market fluctuations, positioning the company for long-term value creation.
