Silvercorp Comments on the New Policy of Foreign Investment in China

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – November 7, 2007 – Silvercorp Metals Inc. (the “Company”) issued a statement to clarify a news story by XFN-Asia dated November 7, 2007 relating to China’s foreign investment policy. On October 31, 2007 the Ministry of Commerce and the National Development and Reform Commission of China issued a new “Foreign Investments Industry Sector Guidance Catalogue” which will become effective on December 1, 2007.

In comparison to the previous “Foreign Investments Industry Sector Guidance Catalogue” issued in 2004, no change in this new catalogue will affect any of Silvercorp’s current and future business activities in China which focuses on the exploration, development and mining of lead, zinc, copper, nickel, silver and gold.

Changes in the new catalogue which may impact other sectors of the mining industry for foreign investment in China include the reclassification of tungsten, molybdenum, tin, antimony and fluorite into a “forbidden category” for foreign investors from a “restricted category” and a requirement for a Chinese majority shareholding in exploration and mining of specialty coal such as coking coal. Silvercorp does not mine any of these minerals and is not impacted by such reclassification.
