Silvercorp’s $60 Silver Play: China Cash Flow, Global Growth | Lon Shaver

Silvercorp Metals (TSX: SVM; NYSE American: SVM) President Lon Shaver joins Kitco Mining’s Kitco Spotlight with Paul Harris to discuss silver’s volatile run, the company’s low-cost China operations, and its plan to grow across Ecuador and Kyrgyzstan. Shaver said silver’s pullback should be viewed against the scale of the move that came before it, with the metal still trading near $60 per ounce after roughly doubling from early 2025 levels. “This is a great time to be a silver producer at $60 silver,” he said. Silvercorp produced 6.8 million ounces of silver and 7.5 million ounces of silver equivalent in fiscal 2026, which ended March 31, at an all-in sustaining cost of $14.25 per ounce. Shaver outlines how the company is funding growth beyond China, including El Domo and Condor in Ecuador, as well as the Tulukbash and Kyzyl Tash gold projects in Kyrgyzstan. Shaver also discusses Silvercorp’s planned Hong Kong listing, emerging market valuation discounts, project financing, M&A strategy, New Pacific Metals, and key catalysts for 2026 and 2027.
