PRINCIPAL DOCUMENTS

The following documents, filed as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F of Silvercorp Metals Inc. (“Silvercorp” or the “Company”), are hereby incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 40-F:

(a)	Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020;
(b)	Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020; and
(c)	Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 and notes thereto, together with the report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm thereon. Silvercorp’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 40-F have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Therefore, they are not comparable in all respects to financial statements of United States companies that are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

CERTIFICATIONS AND DISCLOSURE REGARDING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)	Certifications. See Exhibits 99.4, 99.5, 99.6 and 99.7 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F.
(b)	Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of that fiscal year, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
	It should be noted that while the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
(c)	Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The required disclosure is included in under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F.
(d)	Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte LLP, which audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 40-F, has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, entitled “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm,” that accompanies the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F.
(e)	Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
