what happened
Silvercorp Metals reported that its Ying mine output dropped sharply in the second quarter of fiscal 2027. Silver production fell 41% year on year, lead dropped 41% and zinc declined 51%. The company linked the decline to safety system upgrades, and the amount of ore processed was down 20% year on year.
The GC mine has been suspended since June 2026. An updated mine design is due by December 2026 and is expected to be approved in March 2027, with production potentially resuming around November 2027. The company said GC accounts for less than 10% of revenue. The information comes from a Silvercorp press release distributed by PR Newswire and reported by TradingView.
why it matters
For the silver market, lower volumes at Ying directly reduce revenue and push unit costs higher. The GC restart depends on regulatory approval, so a recovery in output is likely to be back-end loaded.
