THE SILVERKNIFE PROPERTY

The Silverknife Property lies in a well mineralized and historically and currently important precious and base metals exploration intensive region. The Silverknife Property hosts a known historic prospect (the Silverknife Prospect) with defined Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization within only two (2) km of Silvercorp's active Silvertip Ag-Pb-Zn deposit. The Silverknife Property represents a prospective target for precious and base metals mineralization genetically related to the Silvertip deposit.

The silver-zinc-lead mineralization defined to date on the Silverknife Property is interpreted to be a distal, stratigrpahically lower zone than the Silvertip deposit and more proximate to the Cassiar Batholith (heatsource). The most relevant targets for mineral exploration on the Property are associated chimney-type feeder systems and mantos related to the Silvertip mineralizing event.
