VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 9, 2009) - Silvercorp Metals Inc. ("Silvercorp" or the "Company") (TSX:SVM)(NYSE Amex:SVM) reports its unaudited financial and operating results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2009. The financial results are expressed in thousands of US dollars (US$) unless stated otherwise.
SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009 ("Q2 2010"), financial highlights included:
- Net earnings of $8.9 million, 83% higher compared to $4.9 million in the same quarter last year;
- Earnings per share of $0.06, double the earnings per share of $0.03 in the same quarter last year;
- Production of 1.2 million ounces of silver and 15.2 million pounds of lead, representing 35% and 43% increases, respectively, compared to 0.8 million ounces of silver and 10.7 million pounds of lead produced in the same quarter last year;
- Total production cost of negative $5.61 per ounce of silver and cash cost of negative $6.33 per ounce of silver, net credit of other metals, making Silvercorp an industry leading low-cost silver producer;
- Generated $15.9 million cash from operating activities or $0.10 per share; and,
- Total cash, cash equivalents and short term investments increased to $79.0 million.
FINANCIALS
Silvercorp produced 35% more silver and 43% more lead in this quarter, compared to the same quarter last year. Sales revenue for this quarter was $25.1 million compared to $20.1 million in the same quarter last year. Due to the increase in silver and lead production, a 25% increase in sales was achieved despite lower silver and lead prices compared to a year ago.
During the six months ended September 30, 2009, sales revenue was $47.7 million, representing a $3.3 million or 6% reduction compared to the six months ended September 30, 2008. The quantity of silver and lead sold during this period was 13% and 25% higher, respectively, than a year ago; however, this did not fully offset the impact of lower metal prices which were down 16% for silver and 28% for lead compared to the same period last year.
Cost of sales for the quarter was $5.2 million, representing a 33% decrease compared to the same quarter last year. During the six months ended September 30, 2009, cost of sales was $10.1 million, down 35% compared to a year ago. The cost reduction is a reflection of improved operational and cost control, and also due to the low mine production in TLP, LM and HPG mines.
Gross profit margin this quarter improved to 76% from 51% in the same quarter last year. The consolidated net income for this quarter was $8.9 million or $0.06 per share, representing an increase of 83% compared to $4.9 million or $0.03 per share in the same quarter last year.
For the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, gross profit margin was 75% and 62%, respectively. Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $16.4 million or $0.10 per share and $16.5 million or $0.11 per share, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments increased by $13.6 million to $79.0 million since March 31, 2009 ($65.4 million). The 21% increase is mainly due to $26.3 million cash generated by operating activities, offset by $8.5 million of capital expenditures and $5.5 million of cash dividend payments.
OPERATIONS
Silvercorp mined 102,461 tonnes of ore during the second quarter, 22,073 tonnes less than the same quarter last year, as operations at the TLP, LM and HPG mines were still in the ramping up stage.
During the quarter, production was primarily from the Company's flagship Ying Mine where 83,263 tonnes of ore was mined, 13% higher than the same quarter last year. Silver head grades at the Ying Mine improved to 453 g/t from 331 g/t in the prior year period. However, silver head grade decreased from 488 g/t last quarter, as mining was at a broken zone, causing higher dilution during the quarter.
Cash cost per ounce of silver for the second quarter improved to negative $6.24, compared with negative $5.14 per ounce of silver in the same quarter last year. This is also an improvement from the prior quarter cash cost of negative $5.00 per ounce. The improvement in cash cost per ounce of silver was mainly driven by higher realized by-products prices.
The operating results for the past five quarters at the Ying Mine are summarized as follows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the NSR prices for silver, lead and zinc all increased as a result of improved quoted metal prices and reduced smelter charges. NSR prices of silver and lead was approximately 85% of quoted Shanghai metal prices, excluding the 17% value added tax.
OUTLOOK
For the remainder of fiscal year 2010, the Company's production outlook is 204,000 tonnes, of which 160,000 tonnes will be mined from the Ying mine and 44,000 tonnes will come from the HPG, TLP and LM mines combined. This will bring total production for the entire fiscal year to 410,000 tonnes, in-line with the Company's annual production forecast.
At the Ying Mine, the Company produced 2.2 million ounces of silver, 29 million pounds of lead and 7 million pounds of zinc for the six months ended September 30, 2009. As the actual metal production exceeded our forecasts for the first half of fiscal year 2010, the Company is revising its annual production forecast for the Ying Mine to 4.5 million ounces of silver, 58 million pounds of lead and 14 million pounds of zinc.
The Company will continue to focus on mine development at the TLP, LM and HPG mines, where development activities were partially resumed in May 2009. Through the extraction of by-product ores during mine development from these three mines, the Company expects an additional 0.2 million to 0.5 million ounces of silver to be produced from these mines for the remainder of the year, bringing consolidated silver production for the entire fiscal year to 4.7 million to 5.0 million ounces.
For the second half of fiscal 2010, capital expenditures are budgeted at $8 million, of which $5 million will be used for exploration drilling and development at the Ying mine and $3 million for exploration drilling and mine development at the TLP, LM and HPG mines. The Company is also carrying out a regional IP geophysics program at the Ying Mining Camp with the aim of defining drill targets outside the current mining areas.
At the GC project in Guangdong Province, China, the Company is currently focusing on permitting and design for mine and mill construction. For the second half of fiscal year 2010, the Company has budgeted approximately $3 million for the GC project.
Silvercorp continues to pursue future growth opportunities by carrying out an aggressive exploration program within the existing exploration and mining permit areas and seeking out acquisitions projects in China and other jurisdictions.
