Silvercorp Metals Inc. shares rose by 5.87% as the company reached a 52-week high following its announcement of acquiring a 70% stake in the Tulkubash/Kyzyltash gold projects in Kyrgyzstan for $162 million.
This acquisition, which includes a staged payment structure and a cooperation agreement with the National Investment Agency of Kyrgyzstan, is expected to significantly enhance Silvercorp's market position in Central Asia. The initial investment of $150 million aims to establish a facility with an annual processing capacity of 4 million tonnes of ore, targeting an annual gold output of 110,000 ounces, with further investments planned to boost production capacity.
The strategic expansion into Kyrgyzstan not only diversifies Silvercorp's asset base but also positions the company to potentially produce between 190,000 and 230,000 ounces of gold annually over the next 18 years, reinforcing its competitiveness in the global gold market.
