OreCorp: Silvercorp Bumps. Goyder Now Supportive
- On the 6 August, Canada’s Silvercorp (SVM CN) offered shareholders of Western Australian-based miner OreCorp (ORR AU) A$0.15 in cash and 0.0967 new Silvercorp shares, by way of a Scheme.
- The Scheme Booklet was despatched on the 6 November with a Scheme Meeting on the 8 December. The IE viewed terms as fair.
- Silvercorp has now bumped the cash terms to $0.19/share from $0.15/share. All other terms remain unchanged. Tim Goyder (5.14%) is now supportive. Done and done.

- However, the company is experiencing headwinds due to weakness in demand from the electronics sector and market divergence for EV battery cathode materials.
- Volumes have also fallen more than anticipated YoY in the legacy Automotive Catalyst Areas.
