He will continue to support the Company during a transition period in a consulting capacity. Silvercorp credits Liu with long-standing dedication and significant contributions to the Company’s growth and financial strategy.
Stepping into the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer is Winnie Wang, effective immediately. Wang joined Silvercorp in 2024 and most recently served as CFO of the Company’s China operations.

Silvercorp has also appointed Lei Wu as Corporate Controller, with responsibilities spanning financial reporting, financial planning, finance operations, project management, and treasury functions.
