Canadian miner Silvercorp, which produces silver, gold, lead and zinc from its mines in China, reported income attributable to equity shareholders of $6.3-million, or $0.04 a share for the quarter ended December 31 – the third quarter of its 2020 financial year. This was lower than income attributable to equity shareholders of $8.7-million, or $0.05 a share, reported for the the third quarter of the prior financial year, mainly as a result of a $1.3-million foreign exchange loss and decreases of 21% and 27% in the average realised selling prices for lead and zinc, respectively. This was offset, to some extent, by increases of 17% and 20% in the average realised selling prices for silver and gold, respectively, and increases of 6% and 103% in the volumes of lead and zinc sold.
