Silvercorp Extends High Grade Mineralization Zones at the LM and LMW Mines, Ying Mining District, China

MARCH 17, 2014

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – March 17, 2014) – Silvercorp Metals Inc. (TSX:SVM)(NYSE:SVM) (“Silvercorp” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the results of its 2013 underground diamond drilling program at the LM and LMW mines, Ying Mining District, Henan Province, China (the “2013 Drill Program”), that indicate a significant extension of the existing high grade mineralization zones, both down dip and along strike, as well as delineating new mineralization zones in known major vein structures.

Highlights of selected intercepts of drill holes include:

    141.44m, (3.85m true width), of vein LM5 grading 759 grams per tonne
    ("g/t") silver ("Ag"), 7.24% lead ("Pb") and 0.93% zinc ("Zn") at the
    493m elevation, including a 0.91m interval, 0.72m true width grading
    2,784g/t Ag, 32.45% Pb and 4.14% Zn;

    Zn at the 578m elevation, including a 1.55m interval, 1.54m true width
    grading 931g/t Ag, 1.51% Pb and 0.83% Zn; and

--  Hole ZKL51S34 intercepted a 9.10m interval from 117.66m to 126.76m,
    (5.08m true width), of LM5 grading 282g/t Ag, 1.45% Pb and 0.33% Zn at
    the 633m elevation, including a 1.90m interval, 1.06m true width
    grading 851g/t Ag, 4.63% Pb and 0.92% Zn.

LMW Mine

--  Hole ZKX03S03 intercepted a 1.06m interval from 170.79m to 171.85m,
    (1.05m true width), of vein LM12 grading 2,404g/t Ag, 1.94% Pb and 2.20%

    (3.18m true width), of vein LM12-2 grading 525g/t Ag, 8.51% Pb and 0.36%
    Zn at the 532m elevation, including a 2.08m interval, (1.59m true
    width), grading 1,036g/t Ag, 16.17% Pb and 0.63% Zn; and

--  Hole ZKX4003 intercepted a 6.61m interval from 293.68m to 300.29m,
    (3.22m true width), of vein LM17 grading 585g/t Ag, 2.49% Pb and 0.32%
    Zn at the 706m elevation, including a 1.55m interval, (0.75m true
    width), grading 1,129g/t Ag, 3.66% Pb and 0.80% Zn.

The LM and LMW (LM west) mines are two of the six silver-lead zinc mines the Company operates within its Ying Silver camp. The LMW mine is located adjacent to the west of the LM mine.

The 2013 Drill Program was successful in expanding the Indicated and Measured Resources and in delineating new resources at, or above, the current mining elevations close to the available mining facilities within the major production veins. Step-out and infill drilling on known mineralization zones and test drilling on unexplored sections was conducted on the major vein structures LM5 and LM6 at the LM mine and the LM7, LM8, LM11, LM12, LM13, LM16, and LM17 veins at the LMW mine. The diamond drilling program was implemented from underground tunnels to test for the mineralized structures between the 400m and 950m elevations. Most of the underground holes were designed as inclined holes to penetrate multiple vein structures. 2013 Drill Program results have further extended the known high-grade mineralization zones down dip and along strike and delineated new mineralization zones in the previously unexplored sections of major vein structures.

In 2013, a total of 56,151 metres were drilled in 238 holes, including 17,629 m in 82 holes at LM and 38,522 m in 156 holes at LMW. 6,512 core samples were collected from altered and mineralized vein structures with nine underground drill rigs. As of February 28, 2014, the Company received assay results for 216 of the 238 completed holes with results for 22 holes currently pending. Among the results received, 105 holes intercepted one or multiple mineralized zones and the other holes intercepted the target vein structures.

In the planned 2014 diamond drilling program for the LM and LMW mines, the Company will continue with infill and step-out drilling on known mineralized zones to expand and upgrade the current resources and conduct test drilling on unexplored sections to delineate new resources within the major vein structures. In response to the current depressed metal price environment the 2014 underground drilling program will be reduced (in comparison to the 2013 Drill Program) to 13,910m using four underground rigs as a means to reduce exploration expenses.

Tables 1 and 2 below list the assay results of some selected mineralized intersections in drill holes.

Quality Control

Drill cores are NQ size. Drill core samples, limited by apparent mineralization contact or shear/alteration contact, were split into halves by diamond saw cutting. One half of the cores are stored in the Company’s core shacks for future reference and checking, and the other half core samples are shipped in security sealed bags to the Chengde Huakan 514 Geology and Minerals Testing and Research Institute in Chengde, Hebei Province, and the Analytical Lab of the Inner Mongolia Geological Exploration Bureau in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, and both are ISO9000 certified analytical labs. For analysis the sample is dried and crushed to minus one mm and then split to a 200-300g subsample, which is further pulverized to minus 200 mesh. Two subsamples are prepared from the pulverized sample. One is digested with aqua regia for gold analysis with AAS, and the other is digested with two-acids for analysis of silver, lead, zinc and copper.

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 with continuous chisel chipping. Sample length ranges from 0.4m to more than 1m, depending on the width of the mineralized vein and the mineralization type.

A routine quality assurance/quality control procedure is adopted at each lab to monitor the analytical quality at the lab. Certified reference materials (“CRM”), pulp duplicates and blanks are inserted into each lab batch of samples. QA/QC data at the lab are attached to the assay certificates for each batch of samples.

The Company maintains its own comprehensive quality assurance and quality control program to ensure best practice in sample preparation and analysis of the drill core samples. Project geologists regularly insert CRM, field duplicates and blanks into each batch of core samples to monitor the sample preparation and analysis procedures at the labs. The analytical quality of the labs is further evaluated with external checks by sending about 3% 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 reviewed on a timely basis by project geologists.
