Drift Tunnel PD900‐LM18E1‐915‐52NYM exposed mineralization 60m long and 0.47m wide
(true width) grading 1,469 g/t Ag, 2.38% Pb and 0.28% Zn within vein structure LM18E1 on
the 915m level at the LME mine.
The exploration tunneling from April 1, 2018 to September 30, 2 019 at the TLP and LME mines,
comprising drifting, crosscutting and raising, was driven along and across major mineralized vein
structures to upgrade the drill defined mineral resources and test for new parallel and splay
structures, and is summarized in the following table:

[1] Mineralization is defined by silver equivalent value (AgEq) greater than or equal to 120 g/t at the TLP mine and 125 g/t a t the
LME mine. (Formulae used for AgEq calculation: TLP=36.75*Pb%+Ag g/t; LME=39.019*Pb%+Ag g/t)
Highlights of selected drill hole intersections:
Hole ZKT0641 intersected a 2.73m interval from 2.12m to 4.85m, 2.00m true width, of vein
T3E grading 841 g/t Ag, 0.67% Pb and 0.20% Zn at the 1079m elevation at the TLP mine;
Hole ZKL7602 intersected a 3.82m interval from 263.75m to 267.5 7m, 2.71m true width, of
vein LM6W grading 491 g/t Ag, 0.78% Pb and 0.16% Zn at the 601m elevation at the TLP
mine;
Hole ZKX11071 intersected a 1.01m interval from 296.36m to 297. 37m, 0.82m true width,
of vein T2 grading 471 g/t Ag, 2.84% Pb and 0.33% Zn at the 560 m elevation, and a 1.19m
interval from 317.55m to 318.74m, 0.97m true width, of vein T3 grading 931 g/t Ag, 0.47%
Pb and 0.06% Zn at the 546m elevation at the TLP mine; and
Hole ZKL6105 intersected a 0.79m interval from 113.98m to 114.7 7m, 0.53m true width, of
vein LM4 grading 2,174 g/t Ag, 0.95% Pb and 0.25% Zn at the 497 m elevation, and a 0.45m
interval from 289.80m to 290.25m, 0.32m true width, of vein LM5 grading 2,217 g/t Ag,
2.90% Pb and 0.91% Zn at the 333m elevation at the LME mine.
The underground drilling program is conducted mainly from the current production levels to
delineate the downdip and along‐strike extensions of known mine ralized vein structures in the
production area and test for new vein structures in the previously less explored areas.
The drilling programs from April 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019 at the TLP and LME mines are

[1] Veins discovered between April 30, 2018 and September 30, 2019
Quality Control
Drill cores are NQ size. Drill core samples, limited by apparen t mineralization contacts or
shear/alteration contacts, were split into halves by saw cuttin g. The half cores are stored in the
Company's core shacks for future reference and checks, and the other half core samples are
shipped in securely‐sealed bags to the Chengde Huakan 514 Geology and Minerals Test and
Research Institute in Chengde, Hebei Province, China, 226 km no rtheast of Beijing, the
6
Zhengzhou Nonferrous Exploration Institute Lab in Zhengzhou, He nan Province, China, and the
Analytical Lab of the Inner Mongolia Geological Exploration Bur eau in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia,
China. All the three labs are ISO9000 certified analytical lab s. For analysis, the sample is dried
and crushed to minus 1mm and then split to a 200‐300g subsample which is further pulverized
to minus 200 mesh. Two subsamples are prepared from the pulver ized sample. One is digested
w i t h a q u a r e g i a f o r g o l d a n a l y s i s w i t h a t o m i c a b s o r p t i o n s p e c t roscopy (AAS), and the other is
digested with two‐acids for analysis of silver, lead, zinc and copper with AAS.
Channel samples are collected along sample lines perpendicular to the mineralized vein
structure in exploration tunnels. Spacing between sampling lines is typically 5m along strike.
Both the mineralized vein and the altered wall rocks are cut by continuous chisel chipping.
Sample length ranges from 0.2m to more than 1m, depending on th e width of the mineralized
vein and the mineralization type. Channel samples are prepared a n d a s s a y e d w i t h A A S a t
Silvercorp’s mine laboratory (Ying Lab) located at the mill complex in Luoning County, Henan
Province, China. The Ying Lab is officially accredited by the Quality and Technology Monitoring
Bureau of Henan Province and is qualified to provide analytical services. The channel samples
are dried, crushed and pulverized. A 200g sample of minus 160 mesh is prepared for assay. A
duplicate sample of minus 1mm is made and kept in the laboratory archives. Gold is analysed by
f i r e a s s a y w i t h A A S f i n i s h , a n d s i l v e r , l e a d , z i n c a n d c o p p e r are assayed by two‐acid digestion
with AAS finish.
A routine quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedure i s adopted to monitor the
analytical quality at each lab. C ertified reference materials (CRMs), pulp duplicates and blanks
are inserted into each batch of lab samples. QA/QC data at the lab are attached to the assay
certificates for each batch of samples.
The Company maintains its own comprehensive QA/QC program to ensure best practices in
sample preparation and analysis of the exploration samples. Pr oject geologists regularly insert
CRM, field duplicates and blanks to each batch of 30 core sampl es to monitor the sample
preparation and analysis procedure s a t t h e l a b s . T h e a n a l y t i c al quality of the labs is further
evaluated with external checks by sending approximately 3‐5% of the pulp samples to higher
level labs to check for lab bias.
Data from both the Company's and the labs' QA/QC programs are r eviewed on a timely basis by
project geologists.
