PROXY INSTRUCTIONS

Appointment of Proxyholder(s)

The persons named in the Proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company. A Registered Shareholder (as defined below) has the right to appoint a different person or company, who need not be a shareholder, to represent the Registered Shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the persons named in the Proxy and inserting the name of that other person or company in the blank space provided. If you leave the space on the Proxy blank, those directors and/or officers named on the Proxy will be appointed to act as your proxyholder.

The Proxy must be signed in writing by the Registered Shareholder, or such Registered Shareholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. If signed by a duly authorized attorney, the Proxy must be accompanied by the original power of attorney or a notarially certified copy thereof. If the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, the Proxy must be in writing signed by an officer or attorney of the corporation duly authorized by resolutions of the directors of such corporation, which resolutions must accompany such Proxy. A Proxy will only be valid if it is duly completed, signed, dated and received at the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”), in accordance with the instructions provided on the Proxy, not less than forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time set for the holding of the Meeting, unless the Chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to accept proxies received subsequently.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

A Registered Shareholder may revoke a Proxy by delivering an instrument in writing executed by the Registered Shareholder or by the Registered Shareholder’s attorney authorized in writing, or where the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation, either at the office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or with the consent of the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or on the day of any adjournment thereof, before any vote in respect of which the Proxy is to be used shall have been taken. A Registered Shareholder may also revoke a Proxy by depositing another properly executed Proxy bearing a later date with the Company’s registrar and transfer agent in the manner described above, or in any other manner permitted by law. A revocation of a Proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to such revocation.

Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a Proxy. Non-Registered Shareholders (as defined below) who wish to change their voting instructions must, in sufficient time in advance of the Meeting, arrange for the Company (where the Non-Registered Shareholder is a NOBO (as defined below)) or their Intermediaries (where the Non-Registered Shareholder is an OBO (as defined below)) to change their vote and if necessary revoke their Proxy.

6

HOW TO VOTE

Only shareholders whose name appears on the records of the Company’s central security register (“Registered Shareholders”) as of the Record Date (as defined below) or their duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Non-Registered Shareholders (as defined below) are not permitted to vote at the Meeting unless they follow the instructions set forth below.

Registered Shareholders: If you are a Registered Shareholder you may vote by attending the Meeting in person, or if you do not plan to attend the Meeting, by completing the Proxy and delivering it according to the instructions contained in the Proxy and this Information Circular. If you intend to attend the Meeting and vote your Common Shares in person, you do not need to complete a Proxy.

Non-Registered Shareholders: Most shareholders of the Company are “non-registered” shareholders (“Non-Registered Shareholders”), meaning the Common Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the Common Shares. Common Shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Shareholder are registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the Common Shares of the Company (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, the documents that you receive, and who you receive them from, will vary depending upon whether you are a “non-objecting beneficial owner” (a “NOBO”), which means you have provided instructions to your Intermediary that you do not object to the Intermediary disclosing beneficial ownership information about you to the Company for certain purposes, or an “objecting beneficial owner” (an “OBO”), which means that you have provided instructions to your Intermediary that you object to the Intermediary disclosing such beneficial ownership information. In either case, you have the right to exercise voting rights attached to the Common Shares beneficially owned by you, including the right to attend and vote the Common Shares directly at the Meeting, if you follow the procedures outlined below.

Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners: If you are a NOBO, and unless you have previously informed your Intermediary that you do not wish to receive material relating to the Meeting, you should receive or have already received from the Company or its agent a notice-and-access notification and a request for voting instructions. These security holder materials are being sent to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Shareholders. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of Common Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding Common Shares on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the Intermediary holding Common Shares on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

If you wish to attend the Meeting and vote in person, write your name in the place provided for that purpose in the request for voting instructions provided to you and we will deposit it with our transfer agent, or, if you request on the request for voting instructions, we will send you a form of legal proxy that will grant you or your appointee the right to attend the Meeting and vote in person. If you do not intend to attend the Meeting or have an appointee do so on your behalf but you wish your shares to be voted, please complete and return the information requested in the request for voting instructions to provide your specific voting instructions. If you do not return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions your Common Shares will not be voted.

Objecting Beneficial Owners: The Company does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 –Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary to non-registered shareholders who are “objecting beneficial owners” under NI54-101. Objecting beneficial owners will not receive the materials unless the objecting beneficial owner’s Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery. If you receive or have already received from your Intermediary either a voting instruction form or a proxy form follow the instructions provided in order to ensure your Common Shares are voted in accordance with your instructions. Intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own instructions. These procedures may allow for providing voting

7

instructions by telephone, on the Internet, by mail or by fax. If you wish to vote in person at the Meeting you should follow the procedure in the instructions provided by or on behalf of your Intermediary and insert your name in the space provided on the voting instruction form or proxy form or request a form of legal proxy which will grant you the right to attend the Meeting and vote in person.

The purpose of the above procedures is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the voting of the Common Shares of the Company they beneficially own. In either case, Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, or the Company, as applicable, including those regarding when and where the proxy or voting instruction form is to be delivered.

A Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke a voting instruction form or any waiver of their right to receive materials relating to a meeting which has been given to an Intermediary at any time by written notice to the Intermediary. An Intermediary is not required to act on a revocation of a voting instruction form or of a waiver of the right to receive materials relating to a meeting which is not received by the Intermediary at least seven days prior to the Meeting.

VOTING OF SHARES AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXYHOLDERS

If you complete your Proxy properly, then the nominee named in your Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented by the Proxy in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for and, if you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. If you do not specify a choice on any given matter to be voted upon your Common Shares will be voted in favour of such matter. The Proxy grants the nominee the discretion to vote on amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. If any such amendments or variations are proposed to the matters described in the Notice of Meeting, or any other matters properly come before the Meeting, your proxyholder may vote your Common Shares as he or she considers best.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Except as disclosed herein, no Person has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the election of directors or the appointment of auditors. For the purpose of this paragraph, “Person” shall include each person: (a) who has been a director or executive officer of the Company at any time since the commencement of the Company's last completed financial year; (b) who is a proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company; or (c) who is an associate or affiliate of a person included in subparagraphs (a) or (b).

RECORD DATE, VOTING SHARES, AND PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

The directors of the Company have fixed August 5, 2015 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the Notice of Meeting and to vote at the Meeting. Any such Registered Shareholder who either personally attends the Meeting or has completed and delivered a Proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above shall be entitled to vote or to have his or her Common Shares voted at the Meeting. Non-Registered Shareholders should refer to the instructions above if they wish their Common Shares to be voted at the Meeting.

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, each Common Share carrying the right to one vote. As of the Record Date, the Company has issued and outstanding 170,883,808 fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares. The Company has no other classes of securities.

On a show of hands, every individual who is present as a Registered Shareholder or as a representative of a Registered Shareholder will have one vote (no matter how many Common Shares such Registered Shareholder holds). On a poll, every Registered Shareholder present in person or represented by proxy and every person who is a representative of a Registered Shareholder will have one vote for each Common Share registered in the name of the Registered Shareholder on the list of Registered Shareholders, which is available for inspection during normal business hours at Computershare and which will be available at the Meeting.

8

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, here are no persons who, or companies that, beneficially own, or control or direct, directly or indirectly, Common Shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Common Shares of the Company.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) presently consists of six directors. Management proposes that the number of directors on the Company's Board be reduced to five. Shareholders will therefore be asked at the Meeting to approve an ordinary resolution that the number of directors elected be set at five (5) for the ensuing year, subject to such increases as may be permitted by the Articles of the Company and the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“BCBCA”). The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the resolution setting the number of directors at five (5). In the absence of contrary instructions, the management proxy nominees named as proxyholders in the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form will cast the votes represented by any proxy or voting instruction form FOR the approval of the resolution setting the number of directors at five (5).

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Each director of the Company is elected annually and holds office until the next annual general meeting of the shareholders or until his successor is elected or appointed, unless that person’s office is earlier vacated in accordance with the Articles of the Company or with the provisions of the BCBCA.

No person will be eligible for election as a director of the Company unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of the Advance Notice Policy. The Advance Notice Policy provides that advance notice to the Company must be made in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by shareholders of the Company other than pursuant to: (i) a "proposal" made in accordance with Division 7 of the BCBCA; or (ii) a requisition of the shareholders made in accordance with section 167 of the BCBCA. Among other things, the Advance Notice Policy fixes a deadline by which holders of record of Common Shares of the Company must submit director nominations to the secretary of the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the specific information that a shareholder must include in the written notice to the secretary of the Company.

In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Company must be made not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement. In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting), notice to the Company must be made not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.

To be in proper written form a notice to the Company nominating a person for election to the Board must include certain information as set forth in the Advance Notice Policy with respect to the nominee and to the nominating shareholder. A copy of the Advance Notice Policy was filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com on August 5, 2014.

The Board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement of the Advance Notice Policy.

Management has received written consent from each of Management’s nominees for election as a director as to their willingness and ability to serve as a director. The Company has adopted a majority voting policy in accordance with the recommendation of the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance, which means that any director nominee who receives more votes cast as withheld than voted in favour shall be considered not to have received the support of the shareholders and will tender his or her resignation immediately following the Meeting. If there are more nominees

9

for election than there are vacancies to fill, those nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected until all such vacancies have been filled.

In the absence of contrary instructions, the management proxy nominees named as proxyholders in the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form will cast the votes represented by any proxy or voting instruction form FOR the election of the nominees named below.

The following table sets out the names of Management’s nominees for election as directors, the municipality and province or state, and country in which each is ordinarily resident, all offices of the Company now held by each of them, each nominee’s principal occupation, business or employment, the period of time for which each nominee has served as a director of the Company, and the number of Common Shares of the Company that each nominee beneficially owns, or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, as of August 5, 2015.

Silvercorp confirms that no director, together with his associates or affiliates, owns or controls directly or indirectly 10% or more of the outstanding Common Shares.

As at the date of this Information Circular and within the 10 years before the date of this Information Circular, no proposed director of the Company, is or has been a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company (including the Company), that:

No proposed director:

No proposed director of the Company has been subject to:

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

It is proposed that Deloitte LLP, Chartered Accountants of Vancouver, BC, be reappointed as the auditors of the Company to hold office until the next annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company or until a successor is appointed, and that the directors be authorized to determine the auditor’s remuneration. Deloitte LLP, Chartered Accountants was first appointed as the auditors of the Company on November 26, 2012.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company’s corporate governance practices have been and continue to be in compliance with applicable Canadian and United States requirements. The Company continues to monitor developments in Canada and the United States with a view to further revising its governance policies and practices, as appropriate.

The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) rules require the Company to disclose any significant ways in which its corporate governance practices differ from those followed by United States domestic issuers under the NYSE listing standards. The Company believes that there are no significant differences between its corporate governance practices and those required to be followed by United States domestic issuers under the NYSE listing standards.

The following is a description of the Company’s corporate governance practices which has been prepared by the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board and has been approved by the Board.

Board of Directors

In compliance with the requirements of the BCBCA, the directors are elected by the shareholders to manage, or supervise the management of, the business and affairs of the Company. In exercising their powers and discharging their duties, the directors are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company, and to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Five out of six members of the Board are independent within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”) and the independence requirements of the NYSE. To facilitate the ability of the Board to function independently of Management there are only two members of Management on the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman. During each Board meeting the independent directors meet without the members of Management present.

The Board has adopted a description of how it delineates its roles and stewardship responsibilities in The Board of Directors Charter, which is attached hereto as Schedule “1”. This description incorporates the guidelines and principles outlined in NI 52-110, National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) and National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board believes that good corporate governance is important to the effective performance of the Company and plays a significant role in protecting shareholders’ interests and maximizing value for the shareholders of the Company. The disclosure regarding the Company’s corporate governance practices that is required by NI 58-101 is attached hereto as Appendix “A”.

Summary of Attendance of Directors

The following table sets out the attendance of directors at Board meetings and meetings of the committees of the Board of which they were members during the year ended March 31, 2015:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in establishing and maintaining a sound system of corporate governance through a process of continuing assessment and enhancement. The Corporate Governance Committee works to ensure that the Board functions independently of Management, that Management is clearly accountable to the Board and those procedures are in place to monitor the effectiveness of the performance of the Board, the Committees of the Board and individual directors. The Corporate Governance Committee is comprised of Paul Simpson, Earl Drake, and David Kong, all of whom are independent directors pursuant to NI 52-110. The Corporate Governance Committee Charter is attached hereto as Schedule “2”.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining and approving compensation for directors and senior officers. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Paul Simpson, Malcolm Swallow, and Earl Drake, all of whom are independent directors pursuant to NI 52-110. The Compensation Committee Charter is attached hereto as Schedule “3”. All committee members have direct experience in executive compensation. Paul Simpson is a senior lawyer and brings over 20 years’ experience in corporate law and corporate governance as it relates to compensation committees. Malcolm Swallow has current knowledge of the Chinese mining and exploration markets including current pricing and costing of services associated with silver mining and exploration. Earl Drake, with over 30 years’ experience of diplomatic experience in Asia, provides relevant negotiation and business strategy to the Company and its directors. As a result of their education and experience, each member of the Compensation Committee has familiarity with, an understanding of, or experience in reviewing executive and director compensation; administering of stock options and stock option grants; and reviewing performance goals and the assessments of executives. Within the last fiscal year, no consultants or advisors were retained to assist in determining compensation. The Compensation Committee is relying in part on the 2012 Mining Industry Salary Survey compiled by a large international accounting firm to confirm the reasonableness of the CEO’s compensation package relative to other North American mining companies with similar revenues. The Company’s compensation policies and programs are designed to be competitive with similar companies and to recognize and reward executive performance consistent with the success of the Company’s business.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

For information regarding the Audit Committee, see the Company’s annual information form (the “AIF”) dated June 19, 2015, under the heading “Audit Committee”, including a copy of the Audit Committee Charter which is attached to the AIF as Schedule “1”. The Audit Committee is comprised of David Kong, Malcolm Swallow, and Earl Drake, all of whom are independent directors pursuant to NI 52-110. The AIF is available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.

The Corporate Governance Committee, Compensation Committee, and Audit Committee will each be re-constituted after the Meeting.

No new actions, decisions, or policies were made after the end of the last financial year to affect a readers’ understanding of an NEO’s compensation for the year ended March 31, 2015.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

During the 2015 fiscal year, total compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers has decreased to CAD$2,582,000 from CAD$3,513,000 in fiscal 2014 and CAD$4,551,967 in fiscal 2013. During the 2015 fiscal year, total compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers changed primarily as a result of: (i) decrease in payment of annual bonuses totalling CAD $nil compared to CAD$738,780 in fiscal 2014 and CAD$1,138,800 in fiscal 2013; and (ii) a decrease in the value of stock option grants to CAD$556,266 in fiscal 2015 compared to CAD$917,084 in fiscal 2014 and CAD$$1,819,402 in fiscal 2013; offset by (iii) other payments totalling CAD$267,825.58in Fiscal 2015 to resigning Named Executive Officers related to severance or moving expenses.

The Company’s executive compensation program is overseen by the Compensation Committee of the Board. See “Compensation Committee” above for a description of the composition of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of executive officers of the Company as well as with respect to the Company’s stock option plan (the “Stock Option Plan”). The Compensation Committee also assumes responsibility for reviewing and monitoring the long-range compensation strategy for the senior management of the Company.

In carrying out this mandate, the Compensation Committee assesses on an annual basis the performance of the CEO, relative to both industry performance and overall Company performance, and compares total compensation to compensation paid by comparable companies. Comparable silver mining and exploration companies continued to be comprised of publicly traded mining companies based of similar size, as determined by market capitalization, revenue, and complexity to the Company and includes Eldorado Gold Corp., Endeavour Silver Corp., First Majestic Silver Corp., Fortuna Silver Corp., Hecla Mining, Pan American Silver, Silver Standard Resources, Taseko Mines Limited, and Tahoe Resources.

The objectives of the Company’s compensation program are to attract, hold and inspire performance by members of

21

senior management in a manner that will enhance the sustainable profitability and growth of the Company. The Company has employed a combination of base compensation and equity participation through its Stock Option Plan. In addition, the Company annually awards some of the executive officers, or companies controlled by executive officers, performance bonuses for the year. The Company does not offer securities purchase programs, shares or units that are subject to restrictions on resale or other incentive plans, and, except for Options, focuses on annual, rather than long-term, compensation.

The Compensation Committee attempts to ensure that the compensation packages for executive officers and the overall equity participation plan are in line with publicly listed mining and mineral exploration companies of a comparable size and with operations at a similar or a more advanced stage. The Compensation Committee does not rely on any formula, or objective criteria and analysis to determine an exact amount of total compensation to pay. Compensation decisions are made through discussion by the Compensation Committee, with input from the Chairman and CEO, with the final recommendations of the Compensation Committee being submitted to the Board for further discussion and final approval.

The target is for the total compensation package granted to the CEO to be approximately in the middle range of other comparably sized mining companies; however, there is no fixed formula, or pre-determined set of peer companies that is used for this determination, rather the Compensation Committee focuses most closely on the executive compensation of a limited number of silver mining producers with market capitalizations and production profiles most similar to the Company. For the current year this was Endeavour Silver Corp. and Fortuna Silver Corp.

The Compensation Committee reviews compensation mix on an annual basis with the goal of having a target performance based compensation for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to be in excess of 50% of their total base pay compensation. For the Fiscal year of 2015 22.3% and 32.5% of total compensation paid respectively to Rui Feng, Chairman and CEO subsequent to October 16, 2014 and Myles Gao CEO until October 16, 2015, came from compensation from short and long term (options) performance compensation.

The Compensation Committee considered the implications of the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices and concluded that, given the nature of the Company’s business and the role of the Compensation Committee in overseeing the Company’s executive compensation practices, the compensation policies and practices do not serve to encourage any NEO or individual at a principal business unit or division to take inappropriate or excessive risks, and no risks were identified arising from the Company’s compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

No NEOs or directors are permitted to purchase financial instruments including forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or like instruments, that are designed to hedge against a decrease in market value of securities of the Company granted to such director or NEO as compensation.

Base Compensation

In the Compensation Committee’s view, paying base salaries that are competitive in the markets in which the Company competes for executive talent is a first step to attracting and retaining talented, qualified and effective executives. The NEOs are paid salaries commensurate with those offered by other companies in our industry, with consideration also given to internal relativity, individual performance, and difficulty in finding a suitable alternative, particularly for North American public listed companies with operations in China.

Short Term Incentive Plan

The Company does not maintain any short term incentive plans for its NEOs but does award annual performance bonuses, as discussed below.

Option-Based Awards

The Company believes that encouraging its executive officers and employees to become shareholders is one of the

22

best ways of aligning their interests with those of its shareholders. The Compensation Committee oversees the administration of the Stock Option Plan of the Company. The Stock Option Plan is designed to give eligible directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries an interest in preserving and maximizing shareholder value in the longer term, to enable the Company to attract and retain individuals with experience and ability, and to provide a sense of company ownership to the individual. The Compensation Committee considers stock option grants when reviewing executive officer compensation packages as a whole.

The option distribution is recommended by the Chairman and/or Chief Executive Officer to the members of the Compensation Committee who decide whether they agree with Management’s recommendations and who, once satisfied, provide their recommendation to the Board. The number of options recommended for each individual is based upon seniority, responsibilities of the job position, and the performance of the Company. The Compensation Committee’s recommendation to the Board includes the number of options to be granted to independent directors.

The NEOs are granted options commensurate with those offered by other companies in our industry, with consideration also given to internal relativity and individual performance. Options are granted to executive officers taking into account a number of factors, including the amount and terms of Options previously granted, base compensation, performance bonuses, if any, and competitive factors. All Options granted were granted at or above market prices, with a term of five years, and vesting in equal quarterly amounts over either a three or four-year vesting period.

During the fiscal years 2015 and 2014, the Board granted optionees Options to purchase 1,320,200 and 1,253,500 Common Shares, representing 0.7% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company at the respective year-ends.

Performance Bonuses

The NEOs are paid performance bonuses commensurate with those offered by other companies in our industry, with consideration also given to Company performance, individual performance and internal relativity. Considerations for NEOs performance bonus awards paid out during the fiscal 2015 year were based primarily on three elements from fiscal 2014 (1) relative and absolute share performance; (2) Company performance in fiscal 2014, and (3) executive officers’ performance. After considering the Company’s operating performance, financial performance and share price performance for Fiscal 2014 a decision was made not to issue any performance bonuses in Fiscal 2015. The Committee delegated authority to establish performance bonuses for other officers to the CEO and a total of CAD $nil in bonuses were awarded to all other NEOs in fiscal 2015 compared to $363,780 in fiscal 2014 and $388,800 in fiscal 2013.

The Compensation Committee noted that in the past it did not rely on any formula, or objective criteria and analysis to determine an exact amount of performance bonus to pay. Going forward, starting with bonus based upon performance in the current year of Fiscal 2015, the Compensation Committee and senior management has agreed on a performance bonus system described below:

Future Performance Bonus System

A target bonus is set as a percentage of base compensation. The actual bonus percentage will then be determined based on a weighting for achieving Company Performance and Personal Performance as follows:

The Company performance component of the bonus is based on achievement of Metal Production, Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”), and absence of material Safety and/or Environment Accidents. Metal Production Targets are

23

The Company does take into account overall share price performance in determining executive compensation amounts; however, share price performance is one of a number of factors, as discussed above, that the Company takes into consideration. Overall, the trend in total compensation for the Named Executive Officers has followed the trend in the share price, rising following increases in the share price, and declining when the share prices declines. Total compensation rises and falls in line with share prices primarily because of the valuation of option based awards and annual incentive plan payments. There is not a close correlation between the Company’s share price performance and the amount of base salaries, or consulting fees, (collectively “base pay”) paid to Named Executive Officers. While base pay generally increased during times when share price was increasing, base pay has remained relatively stationary during the recent periods of declining share prices. In considering base pay for the Chairman and/or Chief Executive Officer the Compensation Committee gives particular weight to compensation paid to NEOs at the closest comparable companies, and is particularly cautious in recommending any reductions to base pay, recognising the difficulty in finding English speaking senior management with experience in operating mines in China.

Compensation of Directors

The Board of Directors has approved a Directors’ compensation package that pays each non-executive director CAD $41,250 per year. In addition, committee chairpersons are paid an additional CAD$8,250 per year, with the Chairman of the Audit Committee receiving an additional CAD$24,750 per year. The Company has no formal plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation was paid or distributed to executive officers for their roles as directors during the most recently completed financial year. The Compensation Committee reviews the Directors’ compensation package on an annual basis relative to director remuneration at the closest comparable companies and makes recommendations to the board of directors regarding director compensation on an annual basis. Total director compensation increased marginally to CAD$340,796 in fiscal 2015 compared to CAD$325,824 in fiscal 2014. The main reason for the increase was that one director acted as a director for only half a year in fiscal 2014.

The following table sets out compensation paid to directors in the financial year ended March 31, 2015:

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The only equity compensation plan which the Company has in place is the Stock Option Plan which was previously approved by the shareholders on November 14, 2002, and amended by shareholders on October 20, 2004, October 24, 2005, and August 24, 2006. At the 2009 annual general meeting, shareholders approved a new Amendment to the Stock Option Plan in order to, amongst other things; convert the Stock Option Plan into a “rolling 10% plan” from a “fixed number plan”. At the 2012 annual general meeting, shareholders re-approved the Stock Option Plan. At March 31, 2015, there were 4,741,356 Options outstanding (representing 2.8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares) and 12,347,025 Options available for future issuance under the Stock Option Plan.

The Stock Option Plan has been established to attract and retain directors, officers, employees and consultants to the Company and to motivate them to advance the interests of the Company by affording them with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company. The Stock Option Plan is administered by the directors and the Compensation Committee of the Company.

The Board, or a committee appointed for such purposes, may from time to time designate, by resolution, to bona fide Employees, Consultants, Officers or Directors (collectively, the “Eligible Persons”), or corporations employing or wholly owned by such Eligible Persons options to acquire Common Shares in such numbers, for such terms and at such exercise prices as may be determined by the Board or such committee. The purpose of this Stock Option Plan is to attract and retain Eligible Persons and to motivate them to advance the interests of the Company by affording them with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through Options granted under the Stock Option Plan to purchase Common Shares.

The maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance for all purposes under the Stock Option Plan is 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, from time to time. Any Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to an Option which for any reason is cancelled or terminated without having been exercised will again be available for grant under the Stock Option Plan. Additionally if any Option has been exercised, the number of Common Shares into which such Option was exercised will become available to be issued upon the exercise of Options subsequently granted under the Stock Option Plan. Thus upon exercise of an Option, the same number of Common Shares underlying those Options will become available for issuance under the Stock Option Plan.

The maximum number of Common Shares under the Stock Option Plan and any other share compensation arrangement of the Company (i) issued to Insiders within any one year period, and (ii) issuable to Insiders at any time, may not exceed 10% of the company's issued and outstanding Common Shares. The maximum number of Common Shares issued to each Eligible Person under the Stock Option Plan and under any other share compensation arrangement is limited to 5% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding at the time of the grant.

The Board may from time to time, subject to applicable law and to the prior approval, if required, of the TSX or any other regulatory body having authority over the Company or the Stock Option Plan or, if required by the rules and policies of the TSX, the approval of the shareholders of the Company, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Stock Option Plan at any time, or amend or revise the terms of the Stock Option Plan or of any Option granted under the Stock Option Plan.

30

The Board has the authority under the Stock Option Plan to establish the exercise price at the time each Option is granted. The exercise price of an Option may not be less than the closing market price for the Company’s Shares on the TSX on the trading day prior to the date of grant of the Options. The Board, or a committee appointed for such purposes, also has the authority under the Stock Option Plan to determine other terms and conditions relating to the grant of the Options, including any applicable vesting provisions. The Stock Option Plan also includes a specific amending provision that details the amendments to the Stock Option Plan that may be made by the Board without shareholder approval and that detail certain amendments to the Stock Option Plan that specifically require shareholder approval.

The term of the Options granted under the Stock Option Plan shall expire on a date determined by the Board, which may not be later than 10 years from the date of grant of the Option. However, the Stock Option Plan provides that Options that would otherwise expire during “no trading” periods (“Blackout Periods”) established by the Company will be extended for 10 business days after the Blackout Period expires.

All Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are not assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of succession, except that, if permitted by the rules and policies of the TSX, an optionee shall have the right to assign any Option granted to a trust, RRSP, RESP or similar legal entity. If an optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person for any reason whatsoever other than death, each Option held by such optionee will cease to be exercisable 90 days following the termination date (being the date on which such optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person). If an optionee dies, the legal representative of the optionee may exercise the optionee’s Options within one year after the date of the optionee’s death but only up to and including the original Option expiry date.

The following table sets out equity compensation plan information as at the end of the financial year ended March 31, 2015:
