NATURE OF OPERATIONS

SilverCrest Mines Inc. (“SilverCrest” or the “Company”) is engaged in the operation, exploration, development and acquisition of precious metal properties in Mexico. The Company’s current sources of operating cash flows are primarily from the sale of silver and gold. The Company’s flagship property is its 100%-owned Santa Elena Mine near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, Mexico.

SilverCrest is incorporated under the jurisdiction of the Province of British Columbia, Canada pursuant to the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. SilverCrest is a public company whose shares trade on the NYSE MKT LLC (“NYSE MKT”) (under the symbol SVLC), on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) (under the symbol SVL) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”) (under the symbol CW5). The head office and principal address of the Company is 570 Granville Street, Suite 501, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 3P1. The address of the Company’s registered and records office is 19th Floor, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 3H4.

Subsequent to June 30, 2015, SilverCrest announced it had entered into a definitive agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with First Majestic Silver Corp. (“First Majestic”) pursuant to which First Majestic has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of SilverCrest for consideration of 0.2769 of a common share of First Majestic (the “Exchange Ratio”) plus CAD$0.0001 in cash per SilverCrest common share. The transaction will be implemented by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). In addition, shareholders of SilverCrest will receive shares in a newly formed company (“New SilverCrest”) which will hold certain exploration assets currently held by SilverCrest and First Majestic. The Board of Directors of SilverCrest has unanimously approved the transaction and will provide a written recommendation that SilverCrest shareholders vote in favour of the transaction which will be included in the Information Circular to be mailed in early September 2015 to shareholders in connection with the Arrangement. Upon completion of the transaction, certain transaction and related costs will become payable as they are contingent upon the approval of the transaction by its shareholders. Please refer to the SilverCrest news release dated July 27, 2015. Information is available on the Company’s website, www.silvercrestmines.com, and on www.SEDAR.com.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the board of directors of the Company on August 12, 2015.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with SilverCrest’s most recently issued audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, which include information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies, use of judgments and estimates were presented in notes 2 and 3, respectively, of these audited consolidated financial statements, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Basis of Preparation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. Additionally, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. Certain comparatives amounts have been re-presented to conform to the current period presentation.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of SilverCrest and its subsidiaries which are all wholly-owned. SilverCrest consolidates subsidiaries where the Company has the ability to exercise control. Control is achieved when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity. Control is normally achieved through ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the voting power. Control can also be achieved through power over more than half of the voting rights by virtue of an agreement with other investors or through the exercise of de facto control. All intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses, and profits or losses have been eliminated on consolidation.

NEW STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”)

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 which replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on an entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow of the financial asset. Classification is made at the time the financial asset is initially recognized, namely when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

IFRS 9 amends some of the requirements of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, including added disclosures about investments in equity instruments measured at fair value in other comprehensive income, and guidance on financial liabilities and derecognition of financial instruments. The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlier adoption permitted.

IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”)

In May 2014, IASB issued IFRS 15 to replace IAS 18 – Revenue, which establishes a new single five-step control-based revenue recognition model for determining the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted.

IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment (“IAS 16”) and IAS 38 – Intangibles (“IAS 38”)

IAS 16 and IAS 38 were issued in May 2014 and prohibit the use of revenue-based depreciation methods for property, plant and equipment and limit the use of revenue-based amortization for intangible assets. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 and are to be applied prospectively.

The Company has not yet completed the process of assessing the impact that IFRS 9, IFRS 15, IAS 16 and IAS 38 will have on its consolidated financial statements, or whether to early adopt these new requirements.

TAXES RECEIVABLE

	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Value added taxes receivable	$	7,213,184	$	3,603,901
Income taxes receivable		3,993,043		4,683,697
	$	11,206,227	$	8,287,598

Value added taxes receivable (“VAT”) are taxes paid in Mexico, and are due to be refunded or deducted from income taxes payable. The Company is advised that delayed VAT refunds are currently pervasive in Mexico. The Company is working with its advisors and the authorities to expedite VAT refunds. The Company believes the balance is fully recoverable and has not provided an allowance.

Income taxes receivable (“ITR”) relates to income tax payments paid in Mexico in 2014. The ITR balance will be applied against 2015 income tax installments.

Both tax receivable balances have been negatively impacted by the weakening of the Mexican peso against the US Dollar. SilverCrest translated its Mexican Peso balances at 15.6:1 at June 30, 2015 compared to 14.7:1 at December 31, 2014.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)

⁽³⁾ At December 31, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,911,198 against crushing equipment that was no longer in use at Santa Elena. This equipment had originally cost $3,412,681 with accumulated depreciation of $1,501,483.

⁽⁴⁾ On March 31, 2015, the Company filed a Technical Report prepared in compliance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects titled, “Update to Santa Elena Pre-Feasibility Study, Sonora, Mexico” (the “UPFS”), for the Santa Elena mine. The UPFS with an effective date of December 31, 2014 updates the Santa Elena Pre-Feasibility Study and Open Pit Reserve Update, dated effective April 30, 2013, as amended March 4, 2014. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company updated its depletion, depreciation and amortization estimate to reflect the updated reserves in Santa Elena. The Company revised its asset retirement obligation model input assumptions to reflect the revised 8 year mine life of Santa Elena, which resulted in a reduction of the carrying value in the amount of $573,205.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties are in good standing except as otherwise disclosed. However, this should not be considered as a guarantee of title. The mineral properties may be subject to prior claims or agreements, or transfers, and rights of ownership may be affected by undetected defects.

Ermitaño Property, Sonora, Mexico

In January 2014, SilverCrest signed an option agreement with Evrim Resources Corp. (“Evrim”) whereby the Company can acquire a 100% interest in Evrim’s Ermitaño Property in the State of Sonora, Mexico. The Ermitaño Property consists of two concessions (I and II) contiguous to the Santa Elena Mine. SilverCrest can earn a 100% interest in the Ermitaño Property by paying $75,000 upon signing (paid) and $50,000 each anniversary thereafter, completing a minimum of $500,000 in exploration expenditures in the first year (completed), and delivering a Production Notice within five years specifying mine and construction plans with accompanying permits.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)

La Joya Project, Mexico

The La Joya Project, located southeast of Durango City, Durango State, Mexico is comprised of fifteen mineral concessions. Nine of the 15 mineral concessions are known as the La Joya West concessions, which the Company acquired on May 24, 2013, pursuant to the Company’s full exercise of an option granted in 2010 by the original vendors of the concessions. Three of the 15 mineral concessions are known as the La Joya East concessions, for which the Company still maintains an option to purchase from the original owners. The remaining three contiguous mineral concessions were acquired directly by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SilverCrest de Mexico S.A. de C.V.

Prior to 2013, the Company held an option to acquire a 100% interest in the La Joya West concessions, which option was exercised in full on May 24, 2013 by making staged payments totaling $2,680,000 over a three year period commencing June 2010. The final payment of $2,500,000 was settled on May 24, 2013, by a combination of cash payment ($1,250,000) and the issuance of a total of 615,776 common shares of the Company at a value of $1,250,000. In March 2014, the Company released the final payment on the La Joya West concessions upon verification of title registration in Mexico. There is a 2% NSR on revenues from production of minerals.

On November 25, 2010, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the three La Joya East concessions. Under the terms of the original option agreement, the Company may exercise its option to acquire the La Joya East concessions by making staged payments totaling $1,500,000 over a three year period commencing January 2011 (of which $912,500 has been paid). On November 6, 2013, the Company amended the La Joya East option agreement so that the final payment of $1,175,000 may be paid in two equal cash payments in the amount of $587,500 each, with the first payment having been made on May 6, 2014 and the second and final payment due May 6, 2015. In March 2015, the Company renegotiated the final payment on the La Joya East option agreement, whereby 30% of the $587,500, or $176,250, was paid on May 6, 2015, and the remaining balance plus an additional 5% interest, or $431,813, is due on May 6, 2016. There is a 2% NSR on revenues from production of minerals. Of the total option payments, $750,000 shall be deemed to be advanced royalty payments made on account of the NSR.

DEFERRED REVENUE

On May 14, 2009, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Purchase Agreement”) under which the Company’s wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary, Nusantara de Mexico S.A. de C.V., agreed to sell 20% of future gold production from the Santa Elena Project to Sandstorm in exchange for of $12,000,000 (“Upfront Deposit”) and 3,500,000 common shares of Sandstorm and ongoing per-ounce payments by Sandstorm equal to the lesser of $350 and the prevailing spot gold market price upon delivery of gold until a total of 50,000 ounces of gold have been delivered. The per ounce price of $350 is subject to an increase of 1% per annum commencing April 1, 2014.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company could have been required to return a portion of the Upfront Deposit if certain production levels were not achieved. Therefore, the Upfront Deposit and fair value of the shares were treated as deferred revenue. As deliveries of gold are made to Sandstorm, the Company recognizes a portion of the deferred revenue as operating revenue. The amount recognized for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, is based on the proportion of gold ounces sold to Sandstorm in the period, to 50,000 (June 30, 2014 – 50,000) ounces of gold deliverable to Sandstorm.

In February 2014 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company received notice of Sandstorm’s election to participate in the underground mine in exchange for an additional Upfront Deposit of $10 million and an increase to $450 per ounce of gold once a total of 50,000 ounces of gold has been delivered under the Purchase Agreement. The Company recorded the additional $10 million Upfront Deposit as a reduction to the carrying value of the Santa Elena EIP asset (note 6) as there are no requirements to return any portion of the deposit.

CREDIT FACILITY

On July 11, 2013, SilverCrest entered into a three year $40 million secured corporate credit facility (the “Facility”) with the Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotiabank”). The Facility is principally secured by a pledge of the Company’s equity interests in its material subsidiaries, including Nusantara de Mexico S.A. de C.V., and SilverCrest de Mexico S.A. de C.V., and their assets. SilverCrest drew down $15 million from the Facility in February, 2014 to fund Santa Elena expansion expenditures.

On July 11, 2014, the credit limit of the Facility reduced by $10 million to $30 million. On July 11, 2015, the credit limit of the Facility was reduced by a further $10 million to $20 million, leaving $5 million available for further drawdown. The Facility will mature on July 11, 2016, subject to a one year extension of these dates by mutual agreement.

Depending on the Company’s total indebtedness to EBITDA ratio, the interest rate margin on the Facility will, at the Company’s election, range from 3.00% to 4.25% over LIBOR, or 2.00% to 3.25% over Scotiabank’s Base Rate in Canada. The Facility is subject to standby fees and interest is currently payable at the rate of 3.28% per annum.

The availability of the Facility is subject to various qualitative and quantitative covenants, including a current ratio, a debt to EBITDA leverage ratio, interest service coverage ratio and a tangible net worth calculation. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants as at June 30, 2015. During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company incurred $246,625 (June 30, 2014 – $176,448) in interest expense under the Facility, of which $nil (June 30, 2014 – $176,448) was capitalized to Santa Elena EIP and $246,625 (June 30, 2014 – $nil) was included in “Finance costs” in the statement of operations and comprehensive earnings. During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, standby fees on the Facility amounted to $55,897 (June 30, 2014 – $108,152) which is included in Finance costs.

In fiscal 2013, the Company deferred $514,758 of incremental costs associated with the set-up of the Facility. These costs are being amortized over the three year term of the Facility. During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company amortized $85,088 (June 30, 2014 – $85,088), included in Finance costs in the statement of operations and comprehensive earnings. The unamortized portion as at June 30, 2015, amounting to $176,757 (December 31, 2014 – $261,845), is included in “Deferred finance costs” on the consolidated statement of financial position.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial instruments carrying value and fair value

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and credit facility. The fair values of amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the credit facility approximate their carrying values due to the short term to maturities of these financial instruments.

The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are measured using Level 1 inputs.

19.

INCOME TAXES

The composition of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014

SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company has three reportable segments, those being the mine operations at Santa Elena, Mexico; mine exploration and evaluation properties at Ermitaño, La Joya and other exploration properties, Mexico; and Corporate. The Company has identified these reporting segments based on the internal reports reviewed and used by the Chief Operating Officer, its chief operating decision maker, in allocating resources and assessing performance. Operations whose revenue, earnings or losses or assets exceed 10% of the total consolidated revenues, earnings or losses, or assets are reportable segments. The Company does not treat gold and silver concentrate production as separate operating segments as they are the output of the same production process and only become separately identifiable as finished goods and are not reported separately from a management perspective. Exploration and evaluation properties have been aggregated into a single reportable segment where they have similar characteristics and do not have assets which exceed 10% of total reportable assets. The Corporate segment is responsible for the evaluation and acquisition of new mineral properties, management of cash and cash equivalents, regulatory reporting and general corporate activities conducted in Canada and Mexico.

Geographic segmented information is presented as follows:

SILVERCREST MINES INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the six months ended June 30, 2015	NYSE MKT: SVLC TSX: SVL FSE: CW5

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is an overview of the activities of SilverCrest Mines Inc. (the “Company” or “SilverCrest”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The MD&A is intended to help the reader understand the Company’s operations, financial performance and present and future business environment. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, and 2014, and the related notes contained therein which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The following should also be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, the related MD&A and Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2014, and all other disclosure documents of the Company. All amounts are stated in United States dollars (US$) unless Canadian dollars (CAD$) are indicated. Additional information related to the Company is available for view on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website www.silvercrestmines.com. The date of this MD&A is August 12, 2015. This MD&A contains forward looking information. Reference to the risk factors described in the “Cautionary Statement and Forward-Looking Statement Disclaimer” section on page 20 of this MD&A is advised.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investor’s concerning Estimates of Reserves and Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources:

This MD&A has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms “mineral reserve”, and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in SEC Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Act of 1993, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves, and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7, and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to contained ounces. Accordingly, information contained in this MD&A contains descriptions of mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations there under.

SILVERCREST MINES INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the six months ended June 30, 2015	NYSE MKT: SVLC TSX: SVL FSE: CW5

Santa Elena, Mexico, Q2 2015 highlights

·

During Q2, 2015, Santa Elena had record production of 1,624,211 AgEq ounces (Ag:Au 66.7:1) (Q1, 2015 – 1,349,527), representing an increase of 20%. H1, 2015, production totalled 2,973,738 AgEq ounces (Ag:Au 66.7:1), as a result of this achievement, SilverCrest has increased its 2015 production market guidance to 4.7 to 5.1 million AgEq ounces, from 4.0 to 4.4 million AgEq ounces.

·

During Q2, 2015, the mill processed a quarterly record of 278,386 tonnes (first quarter (“Q1”), 2015: 271,392), with a daily average of 3,059 tonnes per day (“tpd”) (Q1, 2015: 3,015).

·

Mill recovery rates for Q2, 2015 averaged 96% (Q1, 2015: 91%) for gold and 74% (Q1 2015 – 60%) for silver. The 23% increase in silver recoveries from Q1, 2015 was due to increased cyanide levels and aeration (pressurized air) into the mill leach tanks. The second half (“H2”), 2015, mill recovery rates are expected to be similar to Q2 2015. The average mill feed blend was 103.3 gpt silver and 1.65 gpt gold, a 17% increase in silver and a 1% decrease in gold from Q1, 2015.

·

The Santa Elena open pit was temporarily reopened in January 2015, and 71,394 tonnes with average grades of 142.0 gpt silver and 2.66 gpt gold were mined. Pit operations were shut down in April, 2015, due to pit constraints.

·

During Q2, 2015, a daily average of 1,174 (Q1, 2015: 1,080) tonnes was mined from underground which includes daily mining of two to three long hole stopes and development ore. Grade reconciliations are ongoing with volumes to date in line with the block model and grades higher than expected. SilverCrest plans in H2, 2015 to continue to improve and optimize underground stoping, and explore and develop the higher grade El Cholugo Zone (Alejandra Veins). The Company expects to achieve an underground mining rate of up to 1,500 tpd during H2, 2015, and achieve an average rate of 1,292 tpd for fiscal 2015. Average mill feed volume at 3,000 tpd is targeted at approximately 40% underground ore and 60% leach pad ore with no contribution from open pit ore for H2, 2015.

·

In May, SilverCrest announced encouraging results of its accelerated underground exploration of the El Cholugo Zone (“El Cholugo”) located immediately adjacent to the Main Mineralized Zone (“MMZ”) currently in production at Santa Elena. El Cholugo is a drill-identified epithermal vein system that intersects the MMZ at an oblique angle. Previous drilling has shown at least two mineralized veins in the Zone, Alejandra and El Cholugo Dos, ranging from 1 to 15 metres wide over a strike length of approximately 200 metres and a height of an estimated 150 metres. The high grade silver and gold values that are currently being encountered in the current underground exploration drifts are exceeding values of currently stated reserves as reported in the Company’s Update to Santa Elena Pre-feasibility Study. This makes El Cholugo a priority target which could potentially add to future underground production when practical. Additional drifting and underground drilling at El Cholugo will be completed over the next several months to confirm and potentially expand current reserves and resources. Please refer to the SilverCrest news release dated May 7, 2015, for more information available on the Company’s website, www.silvercrestmines.com.

(“First Majestic”) pursuant to which First Majestic will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of SilverCrest by way of a statutory plan of arrangement. Refer to the “Proposed Transaction” section for more detail.

OVERVIEW OF THE BUSINESS

SilverCrest Mines Inc. (NYSE MKT: SVLC) (TSX: SVL) (FSE: CW5) is a Canadian precious metals producer headquartered in Vancouver, BC. SilverCrest’s flagship property is the 100%-owned Santa Elena Mine, located 150 kilometres northeast of Hermosillo, near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, Mexico (“Sonora”). The mine is a high-grade, epithermal silver and gold producer, with a current reserve estimated life of mine of 8 years and average operating cash costs of $12 per ounce of silver equivalent (64.5:1 Ag:Au based on ounces sold). SilverCrest anticipates the 3,000 tpd conventional mill facility at the Santa Elena Mine should recover an average of 1.6 million ounces of silver and 33,800 ounces of gold per annum over the current reserve life.

The Company’s other principal property is the La Joya Project in Durango state, Mexico, which contains a large polymetallic deposit that is being explored with the aim of developing silver, copper, gold and tungsten resources. The Company is currently focusing on Sonoran Property targets within a 30/60 kilometre radius from Santa Elena operations which includes the Ermitaño Property and the Cumobabi Property to provide new discoveries that might be processed at the Santa Elena facility.

PROPOSED TRANSACTION

On July 27, 2015, SilverCrest announced it had entered into an Arrangement Agreement with First Majestic pursuant to which First Majestic has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of SilverCrest for consideration of 0.2769 of a common share of First Majestic (the “Exchange Ratio”) plus CAD$0.0001 in cash per SilverCrest common share. The transaction will be implemented by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). In addition, shareholders of SilverCrest will receive shares in a newly formed company (“New SilverCrest”) which will hold certain exploration assets currently held by SilverCrest and First Majestic.

Pursuant to the transaction, First Majestic will issue approximately 32.8 million common shares (assuming no exercise of existing SilverCrest options), valuing SilverCrest’s equity at approximately CAD$154 million, based on July 24, 2015, closing prices. Following the completion of the transaction, the current shareholders of SilverCrest will hold approximately 21% of the issued and outstanding shares of First Majestic. The transaction will be carried out by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement and will require the approval of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by the shareholders of SilverCrest, and approval by the “majority of the minority”, being a majority of the votes cast by SilverCrest shareholders other than J. Scott Drever, N. Eric Fier and Barney Magnusson, whose votes will not be included in determining minority approval pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions.

The transaction will also require the approval of a simple majority of the shareholders of First Majestic in accordance with the rules of the TSX and the NYSE. The special meetings of shareholders of SilverCrest and First Majestic are expected to take place in late September 2015.

The Arrangement will also provide for the issuance by First Majestic of an aggregate of approximately 2.9 million replacement stock options (the “Replacement Options”) (assuming no exercise of existing SilverCrest options) to SilverCrest option holders who do not exercise such options prior to the effective time of the Arrangement, at exercise prices adjusted by the Exchange Ratio. All other terms and conditions of the Replacement Options will be the same as the SilverCrest option for which they were exchanged, except that the terms and conditions of the First Majestic stock option plan relating to accelerated expiry of First Majestic options on account of early termination after ceasing to hold office or ceasing to be an employee or consultant will not apply to the Replacement Options.

In connection with the Arrangement, each SilverCrest shareholder will also receive 0.1667 common shares of New SilverCrest for each SilverCrest common share held. As part of the Arrangement, SilverCrest will transfer the Las Chispas, Cruz de Mayo, Angel de Plata, Huasabas and Estacion Llano exploration properties located in northern Mexico, as well as CAD$5.25 million in cash and certain other assets currently owned by SilverCrest to New SilverCrest. First Majestic will also transfer its Guadalupe exploration property located in Durango, Mexico to New SilverCrest, and First Majestic will own approximately 9.9% of the shares of New SilverCrest following completion of the transaction. SilverCrest’s La Joya project will be retained by First Majestic following closing of the transaction, however First Majestic does not have any immediate plans to advance the La Joya project. N. Eric Fier, SilverCrest’s Chief Operating Officer, will be the CEO and President of New SilverCrest along with other members of SilverCrest’s current board and management team. New SilverCrest intends to make application to list its shares on the TSX Venture Exchange.

In addition to shareholder, court and creditor approvals, the transaction is subject to applicable regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature. The Arrangement Agreement includes customary provisions, including non-solicitation of alternative transactions, right to match superior proposals and fiduciary-out provisions. In addition, SilverCrest has agreed to pay a termination fee to First Majestic of CAD$8 million upon the occurrence of certain events. First Majestic and SilverCrest have each agreed to pay a CAD$1 million expense reimbursement fee to the other party upon termination of the Arrangement Agreement due to the occurrence of certain other events.

The Board of Directors of SilverCrest has unanimously approved the transaction and will provide a written recommendation that SilverCrest shareholders vote in favour of the transaction which will be included in the Information Circular to be mailed to shareholders in connection with the Arrangement. Each of the directors and senior officers of SilverCrest, who hold in the aggregate approximately 3.9% of the issued and outstanding SilverCrest shares (assuming no exercise of existing SilverCrest stock options) have entered into a voting agreement with First Majestic and have agreed to vote in favour of the transaction at the special meeting of SilverCrest shareholders to be held to consider the Arrangement.

Full details of the Arrangement will be included in a joint Information Circular to be filed with the regulatory authorities and mailed to SilverCrest and First Majestic shareholders in accordance with applicable securities laws. SilverCrest and First Majestic expect to mail the joint Information Circular in early September 2015.

KEY FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The financial performance of SilverCrest is dependent on the following key performance drivers:

·

Production rates, operating costs and efficiencies at Santa Elena.

·

Commodity prices and foreign exchange rates.

·

Adequate financing.

Production rates, operating and sustaining costs and efficiencies at Santa Elena

The profitability and operating cash flow at Santa Elena are affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to, the tonnes and grade of ore mined and milled, the amount of metals produced, the level of operating and sustaining costs and general and administrative costs. SilverCrest believes the right team is in place to manage these risks, but many factors affecting these risks are beyond the Company’s control.

Commodity prices and foreign exchange rates

Commodity prices and exchange rates are entirely outside the control of SilverCrest and may impact the long term viability of current operations, exploration projects and the overall financial position of the Company.

Adequate financing

Historically, the major sources of liquidity have been the capital markets and project financing. As the Santa Elena Expansion Project has been successfully constructed, capital expenditures are now focused on sustaining and underground development costs at Santa Elena and new Sonoran exploration programs. With proceeds from the sale of silver and gold, current cash position of $36.4 million and working capital of $51.0 million, SilverCrest expects to meet its financial commitments and pursue other corporate opportunities for growth.

⁽¹⁾ Prior to completing the commissioning of Santa Elena’s Expansion in Progress (“EIP”), the Company capitalized proceeds from the sales of silver and gold ounces and related expenses attributed to the underground mine, mill and processing facilities.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2014

Net earnings were $3,866,560 ($0.03 per share basic and diluted) for the second quarter compared with $1,314,350 ($0.01 per share basic and diluted) in the second quarter of 2014. The increase in net earnings in the second quarter was primarily attributed to a significant increase in ounces produced and sold, relating from the transition from an open pit heap leach operation to an underground mining and milling operation. Q2, 2015 production was also assisted by better silver and gold recoveries which increased from Q1 2015 from 60% to 74% and 91% to 96% respectively. These positive aspects were partially offset by lower realized metal prices, higher operating costs and an increase in taxes compared to Q2, 2014.

Silver and gold revenue amounted to $20,731,379 (2014 – $7,719,057) in the second quarter. Silver sales totalled 515,070 ounces (2014 – 163,026), 216% higher than the same period in 2014. The foregoing silver sales, combined with a 16% lower average realized price of $16.54 (2014 – $19.67) per ounce, resulted in 166% more silver revenue. Total gold revenue in the second quarter increased 124% compared to the same period in 2014. Total gold sales were 11,567 ounces (2014 – 4,743) or 144% above 2014. The Company sold 8,908 (2014 – 3,794) ounces of gold at an average realized price of $1,202 (2014 – $1,296) per ounce, a 7% decline, and delivered 2,659 gold ounces (2014 – 949) under the Sandstorm Purchase Agreement for cash of $357 (2014 – $354) per ounce.

Cost of sales amounted to $10,356,202 (2014 – 3,046,958). Cash operating cost and all-in sustaining cash cost per AgEq ounce sold in Q2, 2015 were $8.05 and $10.97 (Ag:Au 66.7:1) per ounce, respectively, compared to $7.12 and $11.73 (Ag:Au 66.7:1) per ounce in the comparable 2014 quarter. The increase in cash operating cost per AgEq ounce sold for Q2, 2015, is a result of additional direct production costs related to the transition of Santa Elena during 2014 from an open pit heap leach operation to an underground mining and milling operation. The cost increases were partially offset by the benefit of a weaker Mexican Peso. All-in sustaining cash operating cost per AgEq ounce sold decreased from $11.73 to $10.97 primarily from the benefit of a weaker Mexican Peso. Cash operating costs for Q2, 2015 experienced a favorable foreign exchange effect, as the quarterly average Mexican Peso weakened against the U.S. Dollar by 18% compared to Q2, 2014. Approximately 50% of Q2, 2015 cash operating costs are in Mexican Pesos. (Refer to the “Non-IFRS Performance Measures” section).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the six months ended June 30, 2015	NYSE MKT: SVLC TSX: SVL FSE: CW5

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Depletion, depreciation and amortization increased to $3,080,939 (2014 – $1,577,897) with the incorporation of a depletion charge for the underground mine and depreciation charges for Santa Elena’s mill and CCD/MC processing facilities that were not recorded in Q2, 2014.

Corporate and administrative expenses amounted to $1,376,523 (2014 – $1,407,025), consistent with Q2, 2014. Share-based compensation decreased to $361,786 (2014 – $534,499) with the vesting of a lower number of stock options. The Company granted no incentive stock options during the second quarter of 2015 (2014 – 150,000) with a weighted average fair value per option granted of CAD$0.92).

Deferred tax expense amounted to $785,000 (2014 – recovery $715,000). Deferred tax arises due to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective Mexican tax bases. The primary reasons for the significant change with the comparative quarter in 2014 are 1) taking an income tax deduction for capitalized underground development costs incurred at Santa Elena and 2) a reduction in the carrying value of the Mexican tax bases due to the weakening Mexican Peso.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2014

Net earnings were $6,378,141 ($0.05 per share basic and diluted) for H1, 2015 compared with $3,782,338 ($0.03 per share basic and diluted) in 2014. The increase in net earnings in H1, 2015 was primarily attributed to a significant increase in ounces produced and sold, relating from the transition from open pit heap leach lower ounces recovery to underground milling high ounces recovery, but partially offset by lower realized metal prices, higher operating costs and an increase in taxes compared to H2, 2014.

Silver and gold revenue totalled $40,243,739 (2014 – $20,724,584) for H1, 2015. Silver sales amounted to 928,320 ounces (2014 – 361,826), 157% higher than the same period in 2014. The foregoing silver sales, combined with an 18% lower average realized price of $16.57 (2014 – $20.24) per ounce, resulted in 110% more silver revenue. Total gold revenue reported during H1, 2015 increased 73% compared to the same period in 2014. Total gold sales were 23,315 ounces (2014 – 12,393) or 88% above 2014. The Company sold 18,432 (2014 – 9,914) ounces of gold at an average realized price of $1,199 (2014 – $1,311) per ounce, a 9% decline, and delivered 4,883 gold ounces (2014 – 2,479) under the Sandstorm Purchase Agreement for cash of $355 (2014 – $351) per ounce.

Cost of sales amounted to $20,513,700 (2014 – 7,733,481). Cash operating cost and all-in sustaining cash cost per AgEq ounce sold in H1, 2015 were $8.26 and $11.11 (Ag:Au 66.7:1) per ounce, respectively, compared to $6.81 and $10.04 (Ag:Au 66.7:1) per ounce in the comparable 2014 quarter. The increase in cash operating cost per AgEq ounce sold for H1, 2015, is a result of additional direct production costs due to the transition of Santa Elena during 2014 from an open pit heap leach operation to an underground mining and milling operation and partially offset by the benefit of a weaker Mexican Peso. The increase in all-in sustaining cash operating cost per AgEq ounce sold for H1, 2015, is a result of higher production costs and the inclusion of Santa Elena’s sustaining underground development, infrastructure and equipment costs and partially offset by the benefit of a weaker Mexican Peso. Cash operating costs for H1, 2015 experienced a favorable foreign exchange effect, as the average Mexican Peso rate weakened against the U.S. Dollar by 15% compared to H1, 2014. Approximately 50% of H1, 2015 cash operating costs are in Mexican Pesos. (Refer to the “Non-IFRS Performance Measures” section).

Depletion, depreciation and amortization increased to $6,094,373 (2014 – $3,299,303) with the incorporation of a depletion charge for the underground mine and depreciation charges for Santa Elena’s mill and CCD/MC processing facilities that were not recorded in H2, 2014.

Corporate and administrative expenses decreased by 10% to $2,593,537 (2014 – $2,884,027) primarily due to a decrease in regulatory expenses and tradeshows and travel expenses in the period, partially offset by an increase in Mexico corporate expenses. Regulatory expenses decreased by 72% to $74,996 (2014 – $272,027) primarily due to the onetime TSX listing fee incurred during Q1, 2014 as the Company’s shares commenced trading on the TSX in February 2014. Tradeshows and travel expenses decreased by 51% to $192,842 (2014 – $391,647), with less marketing and reduced corporate travel activities, due to implementation of cost cutting measures. Mexico corporate expenses increased by 21% to $531,765 (2014 – $439,171) from the reallocation of a number of exploration personnel to administrative positions in Mexico.

Share-based compensation decreased to $767,786 (2014 – $1,106,233) with the vesting of a lower number of stock options. The Company granted no incentive stock options during H1, 2015 (2014 – 250,000 with a weighted average fair value per option granted of CAD$0.85).

Current income tax expense amounted to $558,000 (2014 – $2,722,000). The decrease in income tax expense compared with H1, 2014, is primarily attributable to the Company taking a 100% tax deduction for underground development costs incurred at Santa Elena.

Deferred tax expense amounted to $2,349,000 (2014 – recovery $717,000). The primary drivers for the change are essentially the same as those explained above in the three month comparison.

Prior to completing the commissioning of Santa Elena’s underground mine, mill and CCD/MC processing facilities, proceeds from the sale of silver and gold and related expenses were capitalized to the Santa Elena EIP.

⁽²⁾

The Mexican Environmental Mining Duty is based on 0.5% of gross revenues.

⁽³⁾

AgEq ratio for Q2 and H1, 2015 of 66.7 was calculated using metal prices of $1,200/oz for gold and $18/oz for silver. For consistency with, comparative periods, the AgEq ratio reported during 2014 was changed from 60:1 to 66.7:1.

⁽⁴⁾

Exploration costs include only expenditures incurred in the relevant periods at Santa Elena.

ADDITIONAL IFRS MEASURES

The Company has included additional IFRS measures which include mine operating earnings and operating earnings throughout this document and the condensed consolidated interim statements of operations and comprehensive earnings. Management believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance. Accordingly, they are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance reported in accordance with IFRS.

Mine operating earnings represent the difference between metal revenues and cost of sales and depletion, depreciation and amortization. Management believes that this presentation provides useful information to investors to evaluate the Company’s mine operating performance and to assess the Company’s ability to generate operating cash flow.

Operating earnings represent the difference between earnings from mine operations and corporate and administrative expenses. Management believes that this presentation provides useful information to investors to evaluate the Company’s mine operating performance when also taking into account certain costs not directly associated with production. The additional IFRS measures described above do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. As such, there are likely to be differences in the method of computation when compared to similar measures presented by other issuers.

⁽¹⁾

Mine operating earnings decreased significantly throughout fiscal 2014, primarily from less revenues reported from lower metal prices and, prior to completing the commissioning of Santa Elena’s Expansion in Progress, SilverCrest capitalized proceeds from sales of silver and gold ounces. Mine operating earnings have also been impacted by an increase in direct production costs and depreciation charges as Santa Elena transitioned from an open pit heap leach operation to an underground mining and milling operation.

⁽²⁾

Net and comprehensive earnings (loss) have fluctuated significantly from the impact of recording the fair value changes of current income and deferred tax expense (recovery), foreign exchange gain (loss) on translation to United States dollars, and impairment charges. The loss recorded in Q4, 2013, resulted primarily from the Company recording a one-time non-cash deferred tax accounting expense of $5.8 million as a result of the enactment of the Mexican Tax Reform. The loss for Q4, 2014, resulted primarily from non-cash impairment charges totalling $5.0 million relating to crushing equipment no longer in use at Santa Elena ($1.9 million) and exploration properties ($3.1 million).

⁽³⁾

The Company has not paid any dividends since incorporation, and currently does not plan to pay dividends in the near term.

⁽⁴⁾

Total assets increased significantly during 2014, mainly from capital investment at the Santa Elena Mine. In Q1, 2014, total assets increased primarily due to cash receipts of $20.8 million from the equity financing, the additional $10 million Upfront Deposit from Sandstorm and the $15 million draw-down from the Facility with Scotiabank.

⁽⁵⁾

The available credit limit of the Scotia Bank Facility is currently $20 million, $15.0 million drawn down with $5.0 million available, and will mature on July 11, 2016, subject to a one year extension of these dates by mutual agreement.

⁽⁶⁾

Tax liabilities consist of current income tax expense relating to the estimate of tax payable from Santa Elena operations and deferred tax expense (recovery) relating to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective Mexican tax book bases.

Operating Activities

The cash flow generated from operating activities was $3,963,825 (2014 – $2,228,025) for the second quarter and $11,296,183 (2014 – $9,937,928) for H1, 2015. SilverCrest maintained a strong cash flow from operations, compared to H1, 2014, despite lower metal prices and higher operating costs during the period.

Financing Activities

There were no financing activities in H1, 2015.

On March 13, 2014, the Company completed a prospectus offering for total gross proceeds of CAD$23.0 million ($20.8 million). The Company issued a total of 8,855,000 common shares at a price of CAD$2.60 per share. Total share issuance costs amounted to $1,489,408.

In February 2014, SilverCrest drew down $15 million from the currently available $20 million Facility with Scotiabank. The proceeds were primarily used to fund Santa Elena expansion expenditures.

During H1, 2014, the Company received $500,724 from the exercise of 955,000 incentive stock options.

Investing Activities

SilverCrest incurred $2,373,379 (2014 – $15,582,416) during the second quarter and $4,705,441 (2014 – $26,238,005) during H1, 2015, primarily on Santa Elena underground mine development, infrastructure and sustaining capital costs included within property plant and equipment.

In March 2014, the Company received a $10 million contribution from Sandstorm as per the Sandstorm Purchase Agreement, and executed option held by Sandstorm to participate in the future underground mine production which would require payment by Sandstorm of 20% (pro-rata of gold) of the capital cost for their share of Santa Elena’s Expansion capital costs.

SilverCrest spent $490,567 (2014 – $1,311,254) during the second quarter and $1,457,266 (2014 – $3,377,943) during H1, 2015 on exploration and evaluation expenditures, primarily on the Ermitaño Property and the La Joya Project. During H1, 2014, the Company released the final cash payment of $1.25 million on the La Joya West concessions upon receipt of title registration in Mexico, made a $0.6 million cash payment on La Joya East concessions and incurred $1.5 million in exploration costs primarily at the La Joya Project and Ermitaño Property.

The Company received interest income of $72,818 (2014 – $55,583) during the second quarter and $142,959 (2014 – $266,618) during H1, 2015.

Impact of exchange rate changes

As at June 30, 2015, the Company held $36.4 million (2014 – $40.9 million) in cash and cash equivalents, of which $33.4 million (2014 – $40.3 million) were dominated in United States dollars, $0.5 million (2014 – $0.3 million) in Canadian dollars, and $2.5 million (2014 – $0.2 million) in Mexican pesos. During the six months period ended June 30, 2015, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were negatively impacted by $130,783 (2014 – positively affected by $44,185) on translation to United States dollars due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar and Mexican Peso against the United States dollar. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge currency risks at this time.

ASSETS

At June 30, 2015, SilverCrest held cash and cash equivalents of $36.4 million (December 2014 – $31.3 million). SilverCrest continues to monitor cash resources against expenditures forecasts associated with implementation of the Company’s growth strategies.

Taxes receivable at June 30, 2015, were $11,206,227 (December 2014 – $8,287,598), which consisted of value added taxes receivable (“VAT”) of $7,213,184 (December 2014 – $3,603,901) and income tax receivable (“ITR”) of $3,993,043 (December 2014 – $4,683,697). VAT receivables are taxes paid in Mexico, and are due to be refunded or deducted from income taxes payable. The Company is advised that delayed VAT refunds are currently pervasive in Mexico. The Company is working with its advisors and the authorities to expedite returns of VAT refunds. ITR relates to monthly income tax payments paid in Mexico in 2014. The ITR balance will be applied against 2015 income tax installments. Both tax receivable balances have been negatively impacted by the weakening of the Mexican peso against the US Dollar. SilverCrest translated its Mexican Peso balances at 15.6:1 at June 30, 2015 compared to 14.7:1 at December 31, 2014.

The inventories balance primarily relates to supplies, finished goods and leach pad ore at Santa Elena. The leach pad ore carrying balance at June 30, 2015, including the non-current amount was $6.8 million (December 2014 – $7.4 million). The leach pad ore inventory is measured based on the lower of average cost per ounce of silver and gold and net realizable value and will be expensed as leach pad ore tonnes are processed through the mill. The Company recognizes a portion of the leach pad ore inventory in cost of sales based on the number of pad ore tonnes processed in the period, to the total tonnes remaining on the leach pad. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized $616,893 (June 30, 2014 – $Nil) in cost of sales related to pad ore tonnes processed through the mill.

In finished goods at June 30, 2015, SilverCrest had dore bars containing 5,090 (December 2014 – 1,046) ounces of gold, including Sandstorm’s allocation, and 247,841 (December 2014 – 31,514) ounces of silver.

Property, plant and equipment decreased to $103.4 million (December 2014 – $106.3 million). During the six months ended June 30, 2015, SilverCrest added $4.4 million primarily from the development and infrastructure of the underground mine and sustaining capital, reduced by a change in estimate in asset retirement obligations of $0.6 million and depreciation and depletion charge of $ 6.7 million.

Exploration and evaluation assets increased to $18.0 million (December 2014 – $16.4 million) from exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred at the Ermitaño Property ($1.2 million) and the La Joya Project ($0.3 million).

LIABILITIES

Deferred revenue decreased to $4.5 million (December 2014 – $5.5 million), resulting from the delivery of 4,883 (June 30, 2014 – 2,479) gold ounces to Sandstorm. As deliveries of gold are made to Sandstorm, the Company recognizes a portion of the deferred revenue as operating revenue. The amount recognized for H1, 2015, is based on the proportion of gold ounces sold to Sandstorm in the period, to 50,000 (2014 – 50,000) ounces of gold deliverable to Sandstorm.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased to $4.8 million (December 2014 – $4.3 million). The balance relates primarily to various ongoing operational and exploration commitments in Mexico.

The credit facility obligation relates to the $15 million drawn down from the currently available $20 million Facility with Scotiabank. The credit facility will mature on July 11, 2016, subject to a one year extension of these dates by mutual agreement.

⁽¹⁾ Estimated recoveries are as reported, based on calculated grade.

⁽²⁾ Silver and gold ounces produced for H1, 2014, consist of ounces recovered from the leach pad which commenced decommissioning during Q2, 2014.

⁽³⁾ AgEq ratio for 2015, of 66.7:1 was calculated using metal prices of $1,200/oz for gold and $18/oz for silver. For consistency with, comparative periods, the AgEq ratio reported during 2014 was changed from 60:1 to 66.7:1.

During Q2, 2015, the mill processed a quarterly record of 278,386 tonnes (Q1 2015 – 271,392), with a daily average of 3,059 tpd (Q1, 2015 – 3,015). The plant processed open pit and underground ore at 49% (Q1, 2015 – 48%) blended with 51% (Q1, 2015 – 52%) leach pad ore. The average grades processed during Q2, 2015 for open pit and underground ore were 165.8 gpt silver (Q1, 2015 – 124.8) and 2.71 gpt gold (Q1, 2015 – 2.55). Leach pad ore grades were 43.0 gpt silver (Q1, 2015 – 54.8) and 0.62 gpt gold (Q1, 2015 – 0.85).

Mill recovery rates for Q2, 2015 averaged 96% (Q1, 2015 – 91%) for gold and 74% (Q1, 2015 – 60%) for silver. The 23% increase in silver recoveries from Q1, 2015 was due to increased cyanide levels and aeration (pressurized air) into the mill leach tanks. H2 mill recovery rates are expected to be similar to Q2. The average mill feed blend was 103.3 gpt silver and 1.65 gpt gold, a 17% increase in silver and a 1% decrease in gold from Q1 2015.

The Santa Elena open pit was temporarily reopened in January 2015, and 71,394 tonnes with average grades of 142.0 gpt silver and 2.66 gpt gold were mined. The Company market guidance for 2015 which was announced on January 15, 2015 did not account for re-opening the pit, therefore, part of H1 higher production reflects this positive impact. Pit operations were shut down in April 2015, due to pit constraints. The remaining unmined 50,312 tonnes of open pit reserves will be included in underground reserves.

SANTA ELENA MINE – UPDATE (continued)

During Q2, 2015, a daily average of 1,174 (Q1, 2015 – 1,080) tonnes was mined from underground which includes daily mining of two to three long hole stopes and development ore. Grade reconciliations are ongoing with volumes to date in line with the block model and grades higher than expected. SilverCrest plans in H2, 2015 to continue to improve and optimize underground stoping, and explore and develop the higher grade El Cholugo Zone (Alejandra Veins). The Company expects to achieve an underground mining rate of up to 1,500 tpd during H2, 2015. Average mill feed volume at 3,000 tpd is targeted at approximately 40% underground ore and 60% leach pad ore with no contribution from open pit ore for H2, 2015.

EXPLORATION PROPERTIES

Santa Elena – MEXICO

A 5 hole drill program is ongoing to evaluate extension of the MMZ to the east. In Q3 2015, a 2 to 4 hole drill program will be completed to test expansion of the El Cholugo (Alejandra Veins) Zone.

Exploration drifting continues on the El Cholugo (Alejandra Veins) Zone with 920 metres of drifting to date on four levels.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and credit facility. They are initially recorded at amounts that approximate their fair values. The Company is exposed to various financial instrument risks, and assesses the impact and likelihood of this exposure. These risks include liquidity risk, credit risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

a.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating and growth objectives. The Company maintains adequate cash balances in order to meet short and long term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations, and believes that these sources will be sufficient to cover the likely short and long term cash requirements. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents is invested in business accounts with quality financial institutions, and is available on demand for the Company’s programs, and is not invested in any asset backed commercial paper.

b.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable and taxes receivable. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. Valued added tax receivables are generated on the purchase of supplies and services for operations, which are refundable from the Mexican government. The Company believes these institutions to be of sound credit worthiness, and to date, all receivables have been settled in accordance with agreed upon term and conditions.

The carrying amount of financial assets, as stated in the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position, represents the Company’s maximum credit exposure.

c.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company operates in Canada and Mexico, and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency. The operating results and the financial position of the Company are reported in United States dollars. The fluctuations of the operating currencies in relation to the United States dollar will, consequently, have an impact upon the reporting results of the Company, and may also affect the value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

d.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from the interest rate impact on its cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and corporate credit facility. The Company’s practice has been to invest cash at floating rates of interest, in cash equivalents and short term investments, in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. There is minimal risk that the Company would recognize any loss as a result of a decrease in the fair value of any term deposit or guaranteed bank investment certificate, as they are held with large and stable financial institutions. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk. At June 30, 2015, with all other variables unchanged, a 1 percentage point change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the Company’s comprehensive earnings for the period.

e.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The commodity price risk could affect whether some resources are extracted and the completion of future equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options. The Company closely monitors prices of precious metals, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. The Company has not engaged in any hedging activities, other than short term metal forward sales contracts and commodity option contracts less than 90 days, to reduce its exposure to commodity price risk.

CRITICAL JUDGMENT AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the valuation of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the year.

These judgments and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. Actual results may differ from the estimates. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively. Management has made the following critical judgments and estimates:

Critical Judgments in applying Accounting Policies

The critical judgments that the Company’s management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, apart from those involving estimations, that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:

Commencement of Commercial Production

The determination of the date on which a mine or mill enters the production stage is a significant judgment since capitalization of certain costs ceases and depletion and amortization of capitalized costs commence upon entering production. As a mine or mill is constructed and commissioned, costs incurred are capitalized and proceeds from mineral sales are offset against the capitalized costs. This continues until the mine or mill is capable of operating in the manner intended by management, which requires significant judgment in its determination.

Economic Recoverability and Probability of Future Economic Benefit of Exploration, Evaluation and Development Costs

Management has determined that costs related to exploration drilling, evaluation studies and other development work that have been capitalized have probable future benefit and are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit including geologic and metallurgic information, history of conversion of mineral deposits to probable reserves, scoping and feasibility studies, accessible facilities, existing permits and life of mine plans.

Functional Currency

The functional currency for each of the Company’s subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. For fiscal 2014 and 2015, the Company had determined the functional currency of its Canadian and Mexican operations to be the United States dollar. Determination of functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.

Deferred revenue

The measurement of the Company’s Purchase Agreement with Sandstorm requires significant judgment and careful consideration of the facts and circumstances. Management determined in fiscal 2009, that the ‘own use’ exemption applied to the receipt of the initial Upfront Deposit and common shares so accounted for this as a commodity arrangement and recorded the deemed value as deferred revenue. In fiscal 2014, SilverCrest received an additional $10 million Upfront Deposit from Sandstorm as a contribution towards Santa Elena’s expansion capital costs and treated this as a reduction to the carrying value of the Santa Elena EIP asset.

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The significant assumptions about the future and other major sources of estimation uncertainty as at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are as follows:

Reserves and Resources

Estimates of the quantities of probable reserves are used in the calculation of depletion expense, and forecasting the timing of the payments related to the asset retirement obligations. Figures for reserves are determined in accordance with NI 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators and Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum standards. Probable reserves are the economically mineable parts of the Company’s measured and indicated mineral resources demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. The Company estimates its probable reserves based on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons. The information relating to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of an orebody requires complex geological judgments to interpret the data. The estimation of future cash flows related to probable reserves is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements and production costs, along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size and grade of the orebody. Changes in the probable reserves may impact the carrying value of property, plant and equipment, asset retirement obligations, recognition of deferred tax amounts and depletion expense. Mining assets are depreciated on a UOP basis over the probable reserves to which they relate; resources are not included in probable reserves or the calculation of depletion.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015	NYSE MKT: SVLC TSX: SVL FSE: CW5

CRITICAL JUDGMENT AND ESTIMATES (continued)

On March 31, 2015, the Company filed a Technical Report prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 titled, Update to Santa Elena Pre-Feasibility Study, Sonora, Mexico, (“UPFS”) for its operating Santa Elena mine. The UPFS updates the Santa Elena Pre-Feasibility Study and Open Pit Reserve Update, dated effective April 30, 2013, as amended March 4, 2014. For further information on the UPFS, please refer to the News Release dated March 31, 2015 on the Company’s website at www.silvercrestmines.com, and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company updated its depletion, depreciation and amortization estimate and asset retirement obligation to reflect the renewed 8 year mine life for Santa Elena. The Company revised its asset retirement obligation model input assumptions to reflect the revised 8 year mine life of Santa Elena, which resulted in a reduction of the carrying value in the amount of $573,205.

Impairment of Non-Current Assets

The Company considers both external and internal sources of information at the end of each quarter in assessing whether there are any indications that its capital projects are impaired. External sources of information the Company considers include changes in the market, economic and legal environment in which the Company operations that are not within its control and affect the recoverable amount of non-current assets. Internal sources of information the Company considers include the manner in which mineral properties and property, plant and equipment are being used or expected to be used and indications of economic performance of the asset.

Calculating the estimated fair values of cash generating units for non-current asset impairment tests requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to metal selling prices, future capital expenditures, reductions in the amount of recoverable reserves, resources, and exploration potential, production cost estimates, discount rates and exchange rates. Reductions in metal price forecasts, increases in estimated future costs of production, increases in estimated future non-expansionary capital expenditures, reductions in the amount of recoverable reserves, resources, and exploration potential, and/or adverse current economics can result in a write-down of the carrying amounts of the Company’s non-current assets.

As at June 30, 2015, management did not identify indicators of impairment for Santa Elena. As a result, an impairment test was not required for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Depreciation and depletion

The Company’s PPE and mining assets are depreciated and depleted over the estimated asset lives and probable ore reserves. Should the asset life, ore reserves, depletion rates or depreciation rates differ from the initial estimate, the change in estimate would be made prospectively in the condensed consolidated interim statements of operations and comprehensive earnings.

Inventories and cost of sales

Silver and gold in process, pad ore and unprocessed ore in stockpiles are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is calculated at the estimated price at the time of sale based on prevailing and future metal prices less estimated future production costs to covert the inventories into saleable form and associated selling costs. The determination of future sales price, production and selling costs requires significant assumptions that may impact the stated value of our inventories. Changes in these estimates can result in a change in cost of sales of future periods and carrying amounts of inventories.

Income Taxes

Management is required to make estimations regarding the tax basis of assets and liabilities and related deferred income tax assets and liabilities, the measurement of income tax expense and indirect taxes. A number of these estimates require management to make estimates of future taxable profit, and if actual results are significantly different than our estimates, the ability to realize the deferred tax assets recorded on our consolidated statements of financial position could be impacted. The Company is subject to assessments by tax authorities who may interpret the tax law differently. These factors may affect the final amount or the timing of tax payments.

Share-based payments

SilverCrest uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based payments. Option pricing models require the input of the subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings and equity reserves.

Provisions for Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company’s provision for asset retirement obligations represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future cash outflows required to settle the liability. Management assesses these provisions on an annual basis or when new information becomes available. This assessment includes the estimation of the future rehabilitation costs, the timing of these expenditures, inflation, and the impact of changes in discount rates, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The actual future expenditures may differ from the amounts currently provided if the estimates made are significantly different than actual results or if there are significant changes in environmental and/or regulatory requirements in the future.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES and internal control over financial reporting

Management of the Company, under the supervision of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information related to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s certifying officers. The Company’s CEO and CFO believe that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed under applicable securities regulations is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified. Management regularly reviews the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures; however, they cannot provide an absolute level of assurance because of the inherent limitations in cost effective control systems to prevent or detect all misstatements due to error or fraud.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The Company uses the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") internal control framework (2013) to design internal controls over financial reporting. The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over the financial reporting during the six month period ended June 30, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Information provided in this MD&A, including the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, is the responsibility of management. In the preparation of these statements, estimates are sometimes necessary to make a determination of future value for certain assets or liabilities. Management believes such estimates have been based on careful judgments and have been properly reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
