Silvercorp Metals Inc (SVM) reported record revenue of $84 million for fiscal Q3, a 43% increase from the previous year.
The company achieved record operating cash flow of $45 million, up 90% year over year.
Silver production reached a record 1.9 million ounces, marking a 16% increase compared to the same quarter last year.
The successful expansion of the Ying Mine's mill increased production capacity from 2,500 to 4,000 tonnes per day.
Silvercorp Metals Inc (SVM) ended 2024 with a strong cash balance of $355 million, bolstered by $143 million in net proceeds from a convertible notes offering.
Zinc production decreased by 10% year over year due to lower head grades.
Production costs increased by 5% to $78 per tonne in Q3, attributed to more underground development and grade control drilling.
All-in sustaining production costs rose by 10% year over year to $150 per tonne in Q3.
The company faced a one-time $12 million government payment related to the renewal of the mining license at the SGX mine.
Administrative expenses increased by $2 million, impacting the overall financial performance.
Q: Are you exposed to the current tariff discussions, and how are you addressing investor concerns about it? A: Lon Shaver, President: We are not exposed to the tariff discussions as we sell all our concentrates to smelters within the country. Once the metals leave our mine site in concentrate form and we've been paid, we have no further exposure. We are not exporting anything from China, except cash in the form of dividends. However, if tariffs impact global economic activity and metals prices, we could be indirectly affected like any other miner.
Q: Regarding the El Domo project, will you provide a comprehensive update in April? A: Lon Shaver, President: Yes, we plan to provide a budget with our best estimates for total construction and the current fiscal year. We are finalizing important details regarding construction, and we continue to see opportunities to reduce the initial capital, which was $248 million in the feasibility study.
Q: Will there be an updated mine plan for El Domo? A: Lon Shaver, President: The mine plan is not expected to change significantly once production begins. The production numbers from the feasibility study remain the best to use going forward.
Q: Is Salazar Resources still committed to their stake in the El Domo project? A: Lon Shaver, President: I cannot comment on Salazar's commitment, but we are happy with our partnership and have a good relationship with them.
Q: For El Domo, should we model pricing based on LME or SME standards? A: Lon Shaver, President: An LME and a more typical pricing structure would be appropriate. We have an offtake agreement based on market terms and conditions at the time of delivery, so using Western-based LME pricing is suitable.

Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (WPM): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (WPM) on ValueInvesting Subreddit by Neither_Accident_144. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on WPM. Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (WPM)'s share was trading at $90.56 as of 3rd July. WPM's trailing and forward P/E were 65.85 and 37.59 respectively according to Yahoo Finance. Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM) offers a compelling investment case as the premier precious-metals streaming company, providing low-risk, high-margin exposure to gold, silver, and other metals without the operational risks of traditional mining. The company's unique model—based on long-term streaming agreements rather than mine ownership—delivers consistent and scalable cash flow, with best-in-class profitability reflected in net margins exceeding 42%. Backed by a fortress balance sheet, zero debt, and over $1.1 billion in cash, Wheaton maintains exceptional financial flexibility, allowing it to navigate market cycles with resilience. Its diversified portfolio of long-life, low-cost, inflation-resistant assets and disciplined management approach positions it for approximately 40% cash flow growth over the next five years, driven by a robust organic pipeline and stable contractual structures. These attributes support a valuation premium relative to traditional miners, which face higher capital intensity and operating risk. While exposure to commodity price volatility and potential project delays presents risks, Wheaton's financial strength and contract terms mitigate these concerns, preserving downside protection and ensuring operational stability. The company's model generates substantial free cash flow with limited capital outlay, offering an attractive proposition for long-term investors seeking exposure to precious metals with built-in inflation hedging. With strong fundamentals, visible growth, and an asset-light structure, Wheaton is positioned as a high-quality compounder in the sector. Analysts see further upside, with a target price of $90–100 per share, reflecting both the company's intrinsic value and the scarcity of comparably low-risk, high-margin vehicles in the metals space. Previously, we covered a on Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited by Intelligent_Okra5374 in April 2025, which highlighted high-quality assets, free cash flow strength, and strategic diversification into copper. The company's stock price has depreciated approximately by 3% since our coverage. This is because the thesis didn't play out fully yet, despite strong fundamentals and favorable macro conditions. Neither_Accident_144 shares a similar view but emphasizes Wheaton's asset-light model and downside protection through streaming contracts. WPM isn't on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of WPM as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Vermilion Energy Inc. Announces TSX Approval for Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid and Confirms Q2 2025 Release Date and Conference Call Details
CALGARY, AB, July 9, 2025 /CNW/ - Vermilion Energy Inc. ("Vermilion", "We", "Our", or the "Company") (TSX: VET) (NYSE: VET) is pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has approved the notice of Vermilion's intention to commence a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") through the facilities of the TSX, New York Stock Exchange and other alternative trading platforms in Canada and the United States. The NCIB allows Vermilion to purchase up to 15,259,187 common shares, representing approximately 10% of its public float as at June 30, 2025, over a twelve-month period commencing on July 12, 2025. The NCIB will expire no later than July 11, 2026. The total number of common shares Vermilion is permitted to purchase on the TSX is subject to a daily purchase limit of 205,865 common shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of 823,460 common shares on the TSX calculated for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025; however, Vermilion may make one block purchase per calendar week which exceeds the daily repurchase restrictions. As of the close of business on June 30, 2025, Vermilion had 154,018,623 common shares issued and outstanding and a public float of 152,591,872 common shares. Any common shares that are purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled upon their purchase by Vermilion. In connection with the NCIB, Vermilion will enter an automatic purchase plan ("ASPP") with its designated broker to allow for purchases of its common shares during self-imposed blackout periods. Such purchases would be at the discretion of the broker based on parameters provided by the Company prior to any self-imposed blackout period or any period when it is in possession of material undisclosed information. The ASPP has been pre-cleared, as required by the TSX. Outside of these blackout periods, common shares may be purchased under the NCIB in accordance with Management's discretion. Vermilion has a long history of returning capital to its shareholders as we have paid out over $40 per share in dividends since 2003 and have had an active NCIB since 2022. The Company anticipates returning 40% of excess free cash flow(1) to shareholders in 2025, primarily through the base dividend and share repurchases. Share repurchases continue to screen as one of the most compelling options for returning capital to shareholders as we believe our common shares are trading at a price that does not reflect the appropriate value of the company. Under its prior NCIB, which runs from July 12, 2024, to July 11, 2025, the Company was allowed to purchase up to 15,689,839 common shares. As at June 30, 2025, Vermilion repurchased an aggregate of 5,631,463 common shares under its prior NCIB at a weighted average price of $12.96 per common share, excluding brokerage fees. The company purchased all common shares through the facilities of the TSX and alternative trading platforms in Canada and the United States. Conference Call and Webcast Details Vermilion will release its 2025 second quarter operating and condensed financial results on Thursday, August 7, 2025, after the close of North American markets. The unaudited interim financial statements and management discussion and analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 will be available on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") at on EDGAR at and on Vermilion's website at Vermilion will discuss these results in a conference call and webcast presentation on Friday, August 8, 2025, at 9:00 AM MT (11:00 AM ET). To participate, call 1-888-510-2154 (Canada and US Toll Free) or 437-900-0527 (International and Toronto Area). A recording of the conference call will be available for replay by calling 1-888-660-6345 (Canada and US Toll Free) or 1-289-819-1450 (International and Toronto Area) and using conference replay entry code 89233 # from August 8, 2025, at 12:00 PM MT to August 15, 2025, at 12:00 PM MT.

You may also access the webcast at The webcast links, along with conference call slides, will be available on Vermilion's website at under Upcoming Events prior to the conference call. (1) Most directly comparable to cash flows from operating activities, free cash flow ("FCF") is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as fund flows from operations less drilling and development costs and exploration and evaluation costs and excess free cash flow ("EFCF") is comprised of FCF less payments on lease obligations and asset retirement obligations settled. FCF is used by management to determine the funding available for investing and financing activities including payment of dividends, repayment of long-term debt, reallocation into existing business units and deployment into new ventures. EFCF is used by management to determine the funding available to return to shareholders after costs attributable to normal business operations. About Vermilion Vermilion is a global gas producer that seeks to create value through the acquisition, exploration and development of liquids-rich natural gas in Canada and conventional natural gas in Europe while optimizing low-decline oil assets. This diversified portfolio delivers outsized free cash flow through direct exposure to global commodity prices and enhanced capital allocation optionality.

Lithium Royalty Corp. Renews Normal Course Issuer Bid
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lithium Royalty Corp. (TSX: LIRC) ('LRC') announces today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) has accepted a notice filed by LRC of its intention to renew its existing normal course issuer bid ('NCIB') that expires July 9, 2025. The TSX notice provides that LRC may, during the 12-month period commencing July 10, 2025 and terminating July 9, 2026, purchase up 1,219,187 of LRC's common shares ('Common Shares'), representing approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, by way of an NCIB on the TSX or through alternative trading systems or by such other means as may be permitted under applicable law. As of July 1, 2025, LRC had 24,383,735 outstanding Common Shares. Based on the average daily trading volume on the TSX of 11,316 Common Shares during the period from January 1 to June 30, 2025, daily purchases will be limited to 2,829 Common Shares, other than block purchase exceptions. Purchases of Common Shares will be made in open market transactions on the TSX or through alternative trading systems. LRC may also purchase Common Shares through private agreements or share repurchase programs if it receives an issuer bid exemption order permitting it to make such purchases. Any purchases of Common Shares made by way of private agreements or under share repurchase programs may be at a discount to the prevailing market price as provided in the relevant issuer bid exemption order. Decisions regarding the timing of future purchases of Common Shares will be based on market conditions, share price, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. LRC may elect to suspend or discontinue its NCIB at any time. Common Shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled. LRC believes that the market price of Common Shares could be such that their purchase may be an attractive and appropriate use of corporate funds. From time to time, when LRC does not possess material non-public information about itself or its securities, it may enter into a pre-defined plan with its broker to allow for the purchase of Common Shares at times when LRC ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods and insider trading rules. Any such plans entered into with LRC's broker will be adopted in accordance with the requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws. About Lithium Royalty Corp. LRC is a lithium-focused royalty company organized in Canada, which has established a globally diversified portfolio of 35 revenue royalties on mineral properties that are related to the electrification and decarbonization of the global economy.
