PROXY INSTRUCTIONS

Appointment of Proxyholder(s)

The persons named in the accompanying Form of Proxy are Directors and/or Officers of the Company. A shareholder has the right to appoint some other person, who need not be a shareholder, to represent the shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the persons designated in the accompanying Form of Proxy and by inserting that other person’s name in the blank space provided.

The instrument appointing a proxyholder must be signed in writing by the shareholder, or such shareholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. If signed by a duly authorized attorney, the Form of Proxy must be accompanied by the original power of attorney or a notarially certified copy thereof. If the shareholder is a corporation, the instrument appointing a proxyholder must be in writing signed by an officer or attorney of the corporation duly authorized by resolutions of the directors of such corporation, which resolutions must accompany such instrument.

An instrument of proxy will only be valid if it is duly completed, signed, dated and received at the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”), in accordance with the instructions provided on the Proxy, not less than forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time set for the holding of the Meeting, unless the Chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to accept proxies received subsequently.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

A shareholder may revoke a proxy by delivering an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by the shareholder’s attorney authorized in writing, or where the shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation, either at the office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or with the consent of the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or on the day of any adjournment thereof, before any vote in respect of which the proxy is to be used shall have been taken. A shareholder may also revoke a proxy by depositing another properly executed instrument appointing a proxyholder bearing a later date with the Company’s registrar and transfer agent in the manner described above, or in any other manner permitted by law. A revocation of a proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to revocation.

HOW TO VOTE

Only registered shareholders (“Registered Shareholders”) or their duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Non-Registered Shareholders are not permitted to vote at the Meeting as only proxies from Registered Shareholders can be recognized and voted at the Meeting. You may vote as follows:

Registered Shareholders: If you are a Registered Shareholder you may vote by attending the Meeting in person, or if you do not plan to attend the Meeting, by completing the proxy and delivering it according to the instructions contained in the form of proxy and this Management Information Circular.

Non-Registered Shareholders: Only registered shareholders of the Company or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders of the Company are “non-registered” shareholders (“Non-Registered Shareholders”) because the Common Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the Common Shares. Common Shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Shareholder are registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the Common Shares of the Company (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and D epository Services Inc. or The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with applicable securities law requirements, the Company will have distributed copies of the notice of meeting, this management information circular and the form of proxy (which includes a place to request copies of the Company’s annual and/or interim financial statements and MD&A or to waive the receipt of the annual and/or interim financial statements and MD&A) (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders. Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders unless a Non-Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders. Generally, Non-Registered Shareholders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Mater ials will either:

2

(i)

be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “voting instruction form”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the voting instruction form will consist of a one-page pre- printed form. Sometimes, instead of the one-page pre-printed form, the voting instruction form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions which contains a removable label with a bar-code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a voting instruction form, the Non-Registered Shareholder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and submit it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instruction s of the Intermediary or its service company; or

(ii)

be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder but which is otherwise not completed by the Intermediary. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to submit a proxy should properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare.

In either case, the purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the voting of the Common Shares of the Company they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Shareholder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder), the Non-Registered Shareholder should strike out the persons named in the form of proxy and insert the Non-Registered Shareholder or such other person’s name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or voting instruction form is to be delivered.

A Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke a voting instruction form or a waiver of the right to receive Meeting Materials and to vote which has been given to an Intermediary at any time by written notice to the Intermediary provided that an Intermediary is not required to act on a revocation of a voting instruction form or of a waiver of the right to receive Meeting Materials and to vote which is not received by the Intermediary at least seven days prior to the Meeting.

VOTING OF SHARES AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES

If you complete your proxy properly, then the nominee named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented by the proxy in accordance with your instructions. If you do not specify a choice on any given matter to be voted upon your Common Shares will be voted in favour of such matter. The proxy grants the nominee the discretion to vote on amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of the Meeting and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Except as disclosed herein, no Person has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in matters to be acted upon at the Meeting. For the purpose of this paragraph, “Person” shall include each person: (a) who has been a director, executive officer or insider of the Company at any time since the commencement of the Company's last completed financial year; (b) who is a proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company; or (c) who is an associate or affiliate of a person included in subparagraphs (a) or (b).

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value, each share carrying the right to one vote. As at the date hereof, the Company has issued and outstanding 165,011,041 fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares. The Company has no other classes of securities.

3

The directors of the Company have fixed August 26, 2010, as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the Notice of Meeting and to vote at the Meeting. Any such shareholder who either personally attends the Meeting or has completed and delivered a form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above shall be entitled to vote or to have his or her Common Shares voted at the Meeting.

On a show of hands, every individual who is present as a Registered Shareholder or as a representative of a Registered Shareholder will have one vote (no matter how many shares such registered shareholder holds). On a poll, every Registered Shareholder present in person or represented by a proxy and every person who is a representative of a Registered Shareholder will have one vote for each Common Share registered in the name of the Registered Shareholder on the list of Registered Shareholders, which is available for inspection during normal business hours at Computershare and at the Meeting. Registered Shareholders represented by proxy holders are not entitled to vote on a show of hands.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, there are no persons who, or companies that beneficially owned, or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, Common Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Common Shares of the Company as at August 26, 2010.

NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

Management of the Company is seeking shareholder approval of an ordinary resolution fixing the number of directors of the Company at six for the ensuing year.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Management intends to propose for adoption an ordinary resolution that the number of directors of the Company be fixed at six. If there are more nominees for election than there are vacancies to fill, those nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected until all such vacancies have been filled.

Each director of the Company is elected annually and holds office until the next Annual General Meeting of the shareholders, or until his successor is elected or appointed, unless that person’s office is earlier vacated in accordance with the Articles of the Company or with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”). Management has received written consent from all director nominees of their willingness and ability to serve as a director. Each director nominee has also agreed that if the number of Common Shares withheld exceeds the number of Common Shares voted in favour, the director nominee shall be considered not to have received support of the shareholders and will tender his or her resignation. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, the accompanying form of proxy will be voted for the nominees herein listed.

The following table sets out the names of management’s nominees for election as directors, the municipality and province or state, and country in which each is ordinarily resident, all offices of the Company now held by each of them, each nominee’s principal occupation, business or employment, the period of time for which each nominee has served as a director of the Company, and the number of Common Shares of the Company that each nominee beneficially owned, or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, as of August 26, 2010.

Option Repricing

There were no options held by the NEOs that were repriced during the most recently completed financial year; however, the Board of Directors, in an effort to encourage the CEO to exercise stock options and to continue to hold Common Shares on a tax deferred basis extended the expiry date by three months on 190,000 employee stock options granted to Dr. Rui Feng, the CEO of the Company, on October 24, 2004, at an exercise price of CAD$0.18 and with an expiry date of October 24, 2009. The fair value of stock option extension is estimated at the date the extension was proposed by the Compensation Committee using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model which requires the input of a number of assumptions and is estimated at $3,800. Shareholders passed a resolution to approve this extension of the expiry date at the 2009 Annual Shareholders Meeting.

Pension Plan Benefits

12

The Change of Control Agreements deem a “Change of Control” to occur if: (i) a merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation, reorganization or transfer takes place in which equity securities of the Company possessing more than 50% of the total voting power of the Company are acquired by a person or persons different from the persons holding those equity securities immediately prior to such transaction, and the composition of the Board of Directors following such transaction is such that the directors of the Corporation prior to the transaction constitute less than 50% of the Board membership following the transaction; (ii) any person, or any combination of persons acting jointly or in concert shall acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding equity securities; (iii) any person, or any combination of persons acting jointly or in concert shall acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, the right to appoint a majority of the directors of the Company; or (iv) if the Company sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets.

Quantified Impact of Termination and Change of Control Provisions

If a change of control of the Company had occurred on March 31, 2010, the total estimated cash cost to the Company of related payments to the NEOs is estimated at CAD$1,813,500. The following table shows estimated incremental payments in Canadian dollars triggered pursuant to termination of employment of a Named Executive Officer in accordance with the termination provisions described above:

Name	Termination Without Cause Under Employment Agreement Provision Value (1)(2)(3)	Termination on Change of Control Provision Value(1)(2)(3)
Dr. Rui Feng	$28,500	$684,000
Myles Gao	$20,833	$397,500
Maria Tang	$13,333	$240,000
Lorne Waldman	$67,333	$252,000

(1)	The termination values assume that the triggering event took place on the last business day of the Corporation’s financial year-end (March 31, 2010).
(2)	The accelerated option-based award value on the last business day of the Corporation’s year-end (March 31, 2010) was calculated based on the difference between the value of the options that would have vested and the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on the TSX on March 31, 2010, of CAD$6.97.
(3)	Value of earned/unused vacation and amounts owing for expense reimbursement are not included as they are not considered ‘‘incremental’’ payments made in connection with termination of employment.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

During the 2010 fiscal year, total compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers has increased to $2,437,127 from $1,495,274 in Fiscal 2009 and $2,098,759 in Fiscal 2008. During the 2010 fiscal year, total compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers has increased primarily as a result of: (i) the reduced value of stock option grants in Fiscal 2009 as a result of a significant drop in the price of the Company’s common shares during the financial crisis; (ii) the Chairman declined a grant of employee stock options, gave up cash compensation offered in lieu of options, and did not receive any bonus in fiscal 2009; and (iii) the reversal of a 5% reduction in base compensation imposed at the end of the 2008 calendar year when the world emerged from the financial crisis in the summer of 2009.

The Company’s executive compensation program is overseen by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. See “Compensation Committee” for a description of the composition of the Corporate Compensation Committee. The Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of executive officers of the Company as well as with respect to the Company’s stock option plan. The Committee also assumes responsibility for reviewing and monitoring the long-range compensation strategy for the senior management of the Company.

13

In carrying out this mandate, the Committee assesses on an annual basis the performance of the CEO, relative to both industry performance and overall Company performance, and compares total compensation to compensation paid by comparable companies.

In compensating its executive officers, packages are structured to enhance shareholder value and provide incentives that are commensurate with desired performance. The Company has employed a combination of base compensation and equity participation through its stock option plan. In addition, the Company from time to time awards some of the executive officers, or companies controlled by executive officers, performance bonuses for the year. The Company does not offer securities purchase programs, shares or units that are subject to restrictions on resale or other incentive plans, and, except for stock options, focuses on annual, rather than long-term, compensation.

The Compensation Committee attempts to ensure that the compensation packages for executive officers and the overall equity participation plan are in line with publicly listed mining and mineral exploration companies of a comparable size and with operations at a similar or a more advanced stage. The Corporate Compensation Committee does not rely on any formula, or objective criteria and analysis to determine an exact amount of compensation to pay. Compensation decisions are made through discussion by the Corporate Compensation Committee, with input from the CEO, with the final recommendations of the Corporate Compensation Committee being submitted to the Board of Directors for further discussion and final approval. The target is for the total compensation package granted to the CEO to be approximately in the middle range of other comparably sized mining companies; however, there is no fixed formula, or pre-determined set of peer companies that is used for this determination.

Base Compensation

In the Committee’s view, paying base compensation that is competitive in the market in which the Company operates is a first step to attracting and retaining talented, qualified and effective executives. The Committee noted that, in Fiscal 2009, the CEO reduced his base compensation by 5%. In addition the CEO’s compensation was not competitive with compensation received by CEOs of comparable sized mining companies. The Committee recommended to the Board of Director that the base compensation for the CEO be increased, starting July 1, 2010, to $500,000 per year. The decision to increase compensation was supported by market data included in a salary survey compiled by a large international accounting firm. The assessment was completed by comparing the Company’s CEO salary with that of all Canadian mining companies with similar employee levels. The Committee currently delegates authority to establish base salaries for other officers to the CEO.

Short Term Incentive Plan

The Company does not maintain any Short Term Incentive Plans for its CEO or other Named Executive Officers.

Option-Based Awards

The Company believes that encouraging its executive officers and employees to become shareholders is the best way of aligning their interests with those of its shareholders. Equity participation is accomplished through the Company’s stock option plan. Stock options are granted to executive officers taking into account a number of factors, including the amount and terms of options previously granted, base compensation and performance bonuses, if any, and competitive factors. During the 2010 fiscal year, the Board granted optionees options to purchase 1,643,416 Common Shares, representing 1.0% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company at year-end.

14

All options granted were granted at or above market prices, with a term of five years, and vesting in equal quarterly amounts over a three-year vesting period. Suggested granting of options is made by the CEO to the Compensation Committee, which considers the input of the CEO and then submits a recommendation for the grant of options to the Board of Directors for final approval.

Performance Bonuses

Executive compensation in the form of performance bonuses awarded is related in part to the Company’s performance and in part to the executive’s contribution. It is difficult in the mining industry, where growth of the Company is dependent on projects that take many years to move from exploration into production, to quantitatively measure the Company’s performance over a year-to-year time period. However, it is possible to apply a combination of qualitative and quantitative metrics to this process, and the Company measures its performance by reviewing such items as:

• Earnings per share, cash flow per share and overall financial performance;

• Growth in the Company’s total resources and reserves;

• Development progress on the Company’s projects;

• The ability of the Company to recruit and attract professionals who are recognized as leaders within their sector;

• Confidence of the investment community in the Company; and

• Absence of negative dealings with respect to environmental issues, safety issues or regulatory agencies.

Considerations for performance bonus awards for the fiscal 2010 year were based primarily on three elements: (1) share performance; (2) Company performance, and (3) executive officer’s performance. In addition, consideration was given to the CEO’s decision to forgo options in fiscal 2009 and give up compensation in lieu of options plus the absence of any bonus award in 2009. The Committee believes that the CEO did an excellent job navigating the Company through the economic turmoil in Fiscal 2009, strengthening the Company’s financial position, and building a foundation for the return to growth in 2010.

The Committee noted excellent growth in sales, cash flow, profits, improved margins, increased resources, establishment of reserves for the first time, the acquisition of the Silvertip project, progress on the GC development property, listing on the NYSE and the significant increase in the share price year over year in contemplating the bonus to award the CEO for 2010. It also looked at bonuses awarded by other peer silver mining companies. The Committee recommended a bonus award to be granted of $700,000 consisting of $350,000 in recognition of the CEO’s decision to forgo options in fiscal 2009 and an additional $350,000 in recognition of his performance in Fiscal 2010. The CEO has agreed to accept only $600,000 of the awarded performance bonus.

Performance Graph

The Common Shares of the Company commenced trading on the TSX on October 24, 2005, under the symbol “SVM” and prior to that time traded on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Common Shares also trade on the NYSE, also under the symbol SVM. The following chart compares the total cumulative shareholder return for CDN$100 invested in Common Shares of the Company on April 1, 2004, with the cumulative total return of the S&P/TSX Composite Index and S&P/TSX Global Gold Index for the period from April 1, 2004 to March 31, 2009. The Common Share performance as set out in the graph does not necessarily indicate future price performance and does not factor in the payment of dividends by Silvercorp to its shareholders.

15

The Company does take into account overall share price performance in determining executive compensation amounts; however, share price performance is just one of the many factors, as discussed above, that the Company takes into consideration. Overall, the base salaries, or consulting fees, for the Named Executive Officers have had an upward trend, similar to the upward trend in the performance graph below. However, there is not a direct correlation between the Company’s share price performance and the amount of compensation paid to Named Executive Officers.

Compensation of Directors

On September 29, 2008, the Board of Directors implemented a Directors’ Compensation Plan that pays each non-executive director CAD$25,000 per year. In addition, Committee Chairpersons are paid an additional CAD$5,000 per year, with the Chairman of the Audit Committee receiving an additional CAD$15,000 per year. The Company has no formal plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation was paid or distributed to executive officers for their roles as directors during the most recently completed financial year. The Compensation Committee reviews the Directors’ compensation package on an annual basis and makes recommendations to the board of directors regarding director compensation when required. For the fiscal year 2011, the Compensation Committee has recommended that cash compensation to directors be increased by 50% while the value of options granted during the year be decreased by a similar amount with the objective of keeping total director compensation relat ively unchanged. The Company has no pension plan or other arrangement for non-cash compensation to the Directors, except incentive stock options.

The Company has adopted CICA 3870 Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments to account for the issuance of stock options to employees and non-employees. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model which requires the input of a number of assumptions. Although the assumptions used reflect management’s best estimates, they involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the control of the Company. The following summarized the key assumption used to calculate the fair value of each set of options granted to directors, who are not NEOs, during the financial year ended March 31, 2010.

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER AND DESCRIPTION OF EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The only equity compensation plan which the Company has in place is its stock option plan (the “Plan”) which was previously approved by the shareholders on November 14, 2002, and an amendment to the Plan was approved by the shareholders on October 20, 2004. The Plan, with shareholder approval, was further amended October 24, 2005, to bring it into compliance with the policies of the TSX in conjunction with the listing of the Company’s shares on the TSX on that date. On August 24, 2006, an amendment to the Plan was approved by the shareholders to increase the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to options granted under the Plan, inclusive of all other stock options outstanding from 15,300,000 to 19,500,000. At the 2009 Annual Shareholder Meeting, shareholders approved a new Amendment to the Stock Option Plan in order to, among other things, convert the Plan into a “rolling 10% plan” from a “fixed number plan”. At March 31, 2010, there were 3,204,683 options outstanding and 13,238,358 options available for future issuance under the Plan.

18

The Plan has been established to attract and retain directors, officers, employees and consultants to the Company and to motivate them to advance the interests of the Company by affording them with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company. The Plan is administered by the directors and the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee of the Company.

The Board, or a committee appointed for such purposes, may from time to time designate, by resolution, to bona fide Employees, Consultants, Officers or Directors (collectively, the “Eligible Persons”), or corporations employing or wholly owned by such Eligible Persons options to acquire Common Shares in such numbers, for such terms and at such exercise prices as may be determined by the Board or such committee. The purpose of this Plan is to attract and retain Eligible Persons and to motivate them to advance the interests of the Company by affording them with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through options granted under this Plan to purchase Common Shares.

The maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance for all purposes under the Plan is 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, from time to time. Any Common Shares subject to a share option which for any reason is cancelled or terminated without having been exercised will again be available for grant under the Plan. Additionally if any Option has been exercised, the number of Common Shares into which such option was exercised will become available to be issued upon the exercise of options subsequently granted under the Plan. Thus upon exercise of an option, the same number of Common Shares underlying those options would become available for issuance under the Plan. As at August 26, 2010, of the 165,011,041 Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, 2,984,509 options (representing 1.8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares) remain outstanding, leaving 13,594,584 options (representing 8.2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares) remain available for future grant.

The maximum number of Shares under the plan and any other share compensation arrangement of the company (i) issued to Insiders within any one year period, and (ii) issuable to Insiders at any time, may not exceed 10% of the company's issued and outstanding shares. The maximum number of Common Shares issued to each Eligible Person under the Plan and under any other share compensation arrangement is limited to 5% of the Common Shares outstanding at the time of the grant.

The Board may from time to time, subject to applicable law and to the prior approval, if required, of the TSX or any other regulatory body having authority over the Company or the Plan or, if required by the rules and policies of the TSX, the shareholders of the Company, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Plan at any time, or amend or revise the terms of the Plan or of any option granted under the Plan.

The Board has the authority under the Plan to establish the option price at the time each share option is granted. The exercise price of an option may not be less than the the closing market price for the Company’s Shares on the TSX on the trading day prior to the date of grant of the Options. The Board, or a committee appointed for such purposes, also has the authority under the Plan to determine other terms and conditions relating to the grant of the options, including any applicable vesting provisions. The Plan also includes a specific amending provision that details the amendments to the Plan that may be made by the Board of Directors without shareholder approval and that detail certain amendments to the Plan that specifically require shareholder approval.

The term of the options granted under the Plan shall expire on a date determined by the Board, which may not be later than 10 years from the date of grant of the option. However, the Plan provides that Options that would otherwise expire during “no trading” periods (“Blackout Periods”) established by the Company will be extended for 10 business days after the Blackout Period expires.

All options granted under the Plan are not assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of succession, except that, if permitted by the rules and policies of the Exchange, an optionee shall have the right to assign any option granted to a trust, RRSP, RESP or similar legal entity. If an optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person for any reason whatsoever other than death, each option held by such optionee will cease to be exercisable 90 days following the termination date (being the date on which such optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person). If an optionee dies, the legal representative of the optionee may exercise the optionee’s options within one year after the date of the optionee’s death but only up to and including the original option expiry date.

If the Board has adopted a written code: (i) disclose how a person or company may obtain a copy of the code; (ii) describe how the Board monitors compliance with its code, or if the Board does not monitor compliance, explain whether and how the Board satisfies itself regarding compliance with its code; and (iii) provide a cross reference to any material change report filed since the beginning of the issuer’s most recently completed financial year that pertains to any conduct of a director or executive officer that constitutes a departure from the code.	As part of its stewardship responsibilities, the Board approved a formal “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics” (the “Code”) that is designed to deter wrong-doing and to promote honest and ethical conduct and full, accurate and timely disclosure. A copy of the Code is available on the Company’s website, www.silvercorp.ca, and may be obtained by contacting the Company at the address on the cover of this Information Circular or at www.sedar.com. The Company’s Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for setting the standards of business conduct contained in the Code and for overseeing and monitoring compliance with the Code. The Code also sets out mechanisms for the reporting of unethical conduct. The Code is applicable to all employees, consultants, officers and directors, regardless of their position with the Company, at all times and everywhere the Company does business. The Code provides that the Company’s employees, consultants, officers and directors will uphold its commitment to a culture of honesty, integrity and accountability. The Board has not granted any waiver of the Code in favor of a director or executive officer, and no material change report has been required or filed in connection with the Code. When proposed transactions or agreements in which directors or officers may have an interest, material or not, are presented to the Board, the directors are required to disclose any such interest and the persons who have such an interest are excluded from all discussion on the matter and are not permitted to vote on the proposal. All such interests in transactions or agreements involving senior management are dealt with by the Board, regardless of apparent immateriality. The Board also adopted a formal “Code of Ethical Conduct for Financial Managers” that is applicable to all Financial Managers of the Company, being the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, principal accounting officer, controller and persons performing similar functions. Further, the Board approved and implemented a “Whistle Blower” process available to all directors, officers, employees, and any other party. The Chair of the Audit Committee monitors and reports any wrong doing to the Audit Committee. For the most recently completed financial year, no events were reportable. The Board approved and implemented a Corporate Disclosure Policy to ensure that communications to the investing public about the Company and its subsidiaries are timely, factual and accurate; and broadly disseminated in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

(b)	Describe any steps the Board takes to ensure directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest.	Directors must disclose to the Company’s general counsel any instances in which they perceive they have a material interest in any matter being considered by the Board; and if it is determined there is a conflict of interest, or that a material interest is held, the conflict must be disclosed to the Board. In addition, the interested Board member must refrain from voting and exit the meeting while the transaction at issue is being considered by the Board.
(c)	Describe any other steps the Board takes to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct.	The Company’s Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for setting the standards of business conduct contained in the Code and for overseeing and monitoring compliance with the Code. The Board sets the tone for ethical conduct throughout the Company by considering and discussing ethical considerations when reviewing the corporate transactions of the Company.
6.	Nomination of Directors
(a)	Describe the process by which the Board identifies new candidates for Board nomination.	The Board is responsible for recommending candidates for nomination to the Board and its committees. The Corporate Governance Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, assists the Board by identifying and recommending to the Board suitable candidates for nomination as new directors. The Board of Directors has adopted a majority voting policy as advocated by the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance. Each director nominee has agreed to tender their resignation from the board if they obtain less than a majority of votes in favour of their election in uncontested elections.
(b)	Disclose whether or not the Board has a nominating committee composed entirely of independent directors. If the Board does not have a nominating committee composed entirely of independent directors, describe what steps the Board takes to encourage an objective nomination process.	The Company’s Corporate Governance Committee is composed entirely of independent directors. New nominees must have one or more of the following attributes: a track record in general business management, particularly with public companies; special expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Company; and financial literacy. Nominees must also have the ability to devote the required time to the Company, show support for the Company’s mission and objectives, and have a willingness to serve the Company and its shareholders.
(c)	If the Board has a nominating committee, describe the responsibilities, powers and operation of the nominating committee.	The Board is composed of individuals who will best serve the interest of the Company and assist management in achieving the Company’s goals. Members of the Board and representatives of the mining industry are often consulted for potential candidates.

7.	Compensation
(a)	Describe the process by which the Board determines the compensation for the issuer’s directors and officers.	The Company’s CEO and Compensation Committee review overall compensation policies and make recommendations to the Board on the compensation of the Company’s CEO and directors. The Compensation Committee has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer authority to set compensation for other officers.
(b)	Disclose whether or not the Board has a Compensation Committee composed entirely of independent directors. If the Board does not have a Compensation Committee composed entirely of independent directors, describe what steps the Board takes to ensure an objective process for determining such compensation.	The Corporate Compensation Committee is comprised of three Directors who are independent. The Chair of the Compensation Committee is currently S. Paul Simpson.
(c)	If the Board has a Compensation Committee, describe the responsibilities, powers and operation of the Compensation Committee.	Disclosure about the responsibilities, powers and operation of the Compensation Committee is included in the Information Circular under the heading “Compensation Committee”.
(d)	If a compensation consultant or advisor has, at any time since the beginning of the issuer’s most recently completed financial year, been retained to assist in determining compensation for any of the issuer’s directors and officers, disclose the identity of the consultant or advisor and briefly summarize the mandate for which they have been retained. If the consultant or advisor has been retained to perform any other work for the issuer, state that fact and briefly describe the nature of the work.	Within the last fiscal year, no consultants or advisors were retained to assist in determining compensation. The Compensation Committee did purchase the 2009 Mining Industry Salary Survey compiled by a large international accounting firms to confirm the reasonableness of the CEO’s compensation package relative to other North American mining companies with similar revenues.
8.	Other Board Committees
	If the Board has standing committees other than the audit, compensation and nominating committees, identify the committees and describe their function.	The Board has no other committees other than as noted above.

9.	Assessments
	Disclose whether or not the board, its committees and individual directors are regularly assessed with respect to their effectiveness and contribution. If assessments are regularly conducted, describe the process used for the assessments. If assessments are not regularly conducted, describe how the board satisfies itself that the board, its committees, and its individual directors are performing effectively.	The Corporate Governance Committee, Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and the Board annually, and at such other times as they deem fit, monitor the adequacy of information given to directors, communications between the Board and management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and its committees. As part of the assessments, the Board and/or the committees review their respective charters and conduct reviews of applicable corporate policies.
