From: LoneClone | 8/28/2023 1:39:36 PM | | | | IMPACT Silver Announces Q2 2023 Results with Revenue up 57% and Strong Operating Income
newsfilecorp.com
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 28, 2023) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTC Pink: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") announces its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. The Company reports revenue of $5.5 million in Q2 2023, representing a 57% increase over revenue of $3.5 million in Q2 2022. Mine operating income (before amortization and depletion) in Q2 2023 was $0.90 million compared to $0.03 million Q2 2022. The overall improvement in revenue is due in part to increased gold and silver sales. The net loss in Q2 2023 was $0.9 million compared to a net loss of $0.8 million in Q2 2022. The net loss in the period includes $0.5 million for G&A costs related to the new Plomosas acquisition as well as one-time costs related to the marketing of the Company's recent non-brokered private placement.
The Company maintains a strong balance sheet with $13.7 million in cash and no long-term debt. During the period, the Company completed a $9.0 million, non-brokered private placement and ended the quarter with working capital of $13.3 million.
On April 3, 2023, the Company closed the acquisition of the Plomosas zinc-lead-silver mine for a total purchase price of US$6.0 million, consisting of US$3.0 million in cash and the balance in the form of IMPACT shares (a total of 11,441,647 shares were issued and are subject to certain restrictions). Post closing adjustments are being made based on changes in working capital.
Zacualpan Silver District
The Company's average mill head grade of 163 g/t during the period was up 2% on a year over year basis, with increased gold production and sales in Q2 2023 from the new Alacran Mine. Higher overall production levels across the Company including silver, lead and gold helped contribute to a 63% increase in revenue per tonne of $155.67 in Q2 2023 compared to $95.44 in Q2 2022.
The Company continued to focus on exploration and development of the Royal Mines of Zacualpan and the Plomosas mining districts in Q2 2023 and spent $2.8 million on these programs.
Uncertainty revolving around the state of global economies have contributed to continued demand for precious and base metals during the period as investors continued their flight to safety to combat inflation. Moreover, there are strong signs that softer monetary policy is on the horizon as the rate of interest rate increases has started to slow, adding further support to silver and gold prices during the period. While cost inflation pressures continue to persist throughout the supply chain and labour network, much of the year over year cost increases are owed to negative foreign exchange pressures from the strengthening Mexican peso. This contributed to an increase in direct costs per production tonne in Q2 2023 of $130.67 compared to $94.86 in Q2 2022. Costs may continue to increase in 2023, albeit there is evidence of a slowing trend in this regard.
Plomosas High-Grade Zinc Mine
During the second quarter, the Company closed on its transformative acquisition of the Plomosas high-grade zinc mine in northern Mexico. The acquisition provides the Company with a meaningful new chapter as it expands IMPACT's production profile from one to two producing operations. Plomosas adds significant and high-grade metal diversification through its high-grade zinc deposit as well as exciting exploration potential across the property's largely unexplored property area.
During the quarter, the Company began a major rehabilitation program at the mine to bring the asset back into production following a near one-year hiatus. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was approaching the later stages of its planned rehabilitation at Plomosas both on time and on budget, including improvements and upgrades at the mine, mill, plant and surrounding infrastructure.
Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated, "During the second quarter, our team at Zacualpan continued to execute on a grade-improvement and cost reduction plan which began in 2022. These efforts have started to bear fruit as seen with the increase in average grade milled and specifically, the impressive increase in gold production on a year over year basis. While cost pressures continue to persist, improvements and efficiencies across the system have started to offset these trends. Meanwhile, our transformative new Plomosas mine is on the doorstep to restarting production. This top-quartile in zinc grade mine is in an established mining region and will soon start to generate significant revenue diversification for the Company as we consider further potential expansion of this new producer in 2024."
Q2 2023 Financial Overview
On April 3, 2023, the Company paid a total of US$6.0 million to acquire the Plomosas zinc-lead-silver mine, consisting of US$3.0 million in cash and the balance in the form of IMPACT shares (a total of 11,441,647 shares were issued and are subject to certain restrictions). Post closing adjustments are being made based on changes in working capital, as agreed to between the two parties.
Revenue in Q2 2023 was $5.5 million, up from $3.5 million in Q2 2022. No revenue in Q2 2023 is attributed to the new Plomosas mine acquisition.
Mine operating earnings before amortization and depletion in Q2 2023 was $0.90 million, compared to $0.03 million in Q2 2022.
The net loss in Q2 2023 was $0.9 million compared to net loss of $0.8 million in Q2 2022 The net loss in the period includes $0.5 million for G&A costs related to the new Plomosas acquisition as well as one-time costs related to the marketing of the Company's recent non-brokered private placement.
After investing $2.8 million in exploration expenditures and mining assets during the quarter, the cash position remained strong at quarter-end with $13.7 million with working capital of $13.3 million.
During the quarter, the Company closed an oversubscribed, non-brokered private placement for an additional $9.0 million.
The Company has no long-term debt.
Q2 2023 Production Overview
Mill throughput in Q2 2023 was 35,753 tonnes compared to 37,183 tonnes in Q2 2022.
Silver production during the period increased by 1% to 155,744 oz compared to 154,001 oz in Q2 2022 while contributions from lead and gold saw production increases on a year-over-year basis of 49% and 383%, respectively.
Revenue per tonne sold was $155.67 in Q2 2023, representing an increase of 63% over the same period in 2022 of $95.44.
Direct costs per production tonne were $130.67 in Q2 2023, representing an increase of 38% over Q2 2022 costs of $94.86 per tonne. Much of this increase is due to foreign exchange, with the balance coming from inflation-related pressures in Mexico.
Exploration Review
At the Royal Mines of Zacualpan, management continues to focus its drill program in areas where it has seen ongoing success, such as the San Ramon and the Guadalupe Mine. Meanwhile, management is especially encouraged with developments at the Alacran mine as its elevated gold values could continue to improve the overall grade for the Zacualpan district operations and as a result, revenue per tonne.
Outlook
With a strong balance sheet, exploration potential at both of the mining districts, encouraging gold potential as well as the upcoming start-up of the Plomosas high-grade zinc acquisition, management believes the next 18 months will be transformative for the Company and its investors. These factors should lead to ongoing improvement in revenues while management expects cost pressures to continue to slow heading into 2024.
The Company's growth is expected to reflect its strong position as one of just a handful of intermediate miners offering investors exposure to three distinct verticals across the mining sector, including exploration, production, and growth.
A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the quarter ended June 30, 2023 will be available on the Company website on August 28, 2023 at api.newsfilecorp.com.

From: LoneClone | 10/23/2023 12:13:05 PM | | | | IMPACT Silver Announces Production Restart at the Recently Acquired Plomosas High-Grade Zinc Mine
newsfilecorp.com
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 23, 2023) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce first production under the Company's ownership at the recently acquired high-grade Plomosas zinc deposit located in the State of Chihuahua in northern Mexico.
Following the acquisition of the Plomosas mine in April 2023 (see IMPACT news release dated April 3, 2023), the Company embarked on an extensive rehabilitation and upgrade program at the site, including inside the mine, at the mill and on all associated mobile equipment and infrastructure. As well, new technical and supervisory staff were added to restart production which had been halted since late 2022 under the previous owner.
Fred Davidson, President & CEO stated, "This is a tremendous milestone for our Company as we embark on our next phase of growth. When we bought the Plomosas mine earlier this year, we remained steadfast in our ability that we could bring the asset back into production on time and on budget. I would like to thank our exceptional technical team for a job well done. Our shareholders can now look forward to a diversified mix of high-grade zinc at Plomosas in addition to our legacy silver producing assets at the Royal Mines of Zacualpan, which are now in their 17th year of continuous production and revenue generation."
The Company has reached a significant milestone in shipping the first concentrate to the smelter after restarting production following an intensive effort initiated just five months ago. Mine planning and rehabilitation have been ongoing over the summer including replacing underground equipment and dewatering activities inside the mine. Scoop trams and underground trucks have been actively extracting material with volume increasing on a regular basis as initial processing levels have been achieved at the mill. Management will make modifications and adjustments as needed as it targets design processing capacity of approximately 200 tpd in H1/2024 with plans to then further expand production.

From: LoneClone | 11/21/2023 3:09:03 PM | | | | IMPACT Silver Announces Q3 2023 Results with Revenue Up 26% and Positive Operating Income
newsfilecorp.com
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 21, 2023) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") announces its financial and operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company reports revenue of $4.8 million in Q3 2023, representing a 26% increase over revenue of $3.8 million in Q3 2022. The improvement in revenue is due to higher silver prices as well as increased gold and lead sales in the period compared to last year. Mine operating income (before amortization and depletion) in Q3 2023 was $0.01 million compared to a loss of $0.1 million in Q3 2022. The net loss in Q3 2023 was $1.5 million compared to a net loss of $1.2 million in Q3 2022 and includes significant G&A costs associated with the successful integration of the new Plomosas mine acquisition, which came online subsequent to quarter-end.
Q3 2023 and YTD Highlights:
- The Company completed the final rehabilitation stages during the quarter to bring the Plomosas high-grade zinc mine back online subsequent to quarter-end.
- After investing $3.8 million in exploration expenditures and mining assets during the quarter, the cash position remained strong at quarter-end at $8.9 million with working capital of $8.7 million.
- YTD the Company has invested $7.3 million in exploration and mining assets of which $4.9 million was spent at Plomosas toward start up of operations.
- The Company continues to have no long-term debt.
"Despite a challenging market, we are pleased with the performance of the Company in 2023. We have countered stagnant and declining commodity prices by substantially increasing our gold production while recently bringing online the transformative high-grade Plomosas zinc mine that will meaningfully diversify revenue and contribute to profitability as production continues to ramp up. With an eye on cost controls amidst a difficult inflationary environment coupled with a strong Mexican Peso, we continue to invest in exploration to improve silver grades at Zacualpan while aiming to grow our zinc resources and output at Plomosas," said Fred Davidson, President & CEO.
Zacualpan Silver District
The third quarter is typically a seasonally rainy period in the area leading to unpredictable production. In Q3 2023, mill throughput declined to 37,178 tonnes compared to 39,816 tonnes in Q3 2022. Despite this, revenue per tonne sold in Q3 2023 increased by 29% to $129.46 from $99.98 in Q3 2022. On a year-to-date basis, silver, lead and gold production have increased by 1%, 37% and 213%, respectively, while the average silver mill head grade was roughly flat at 160 g/t compared to 162 g/t in the same period of 2022.
The Company continued to focus on exploration and development of this mining district in Q3 2023 and spent $0.9 million on these programs.
Direct costs per tonne increased by 23% in Q3 2023 to $128.75 compared to $104.45 in the same period last year. Much of this increase is due to foreign exchange pressures stemming from the strength of the Mexican Peso, as well as ongoing inflation across the operation. Management has started to see some moderation of these negative effects late in the third quarter. As well, wetter than usual conditions during this rainy season led to higher transportation and processing costs.
Ongoing economic uncertainty and risk premiums have increased due to higher, sustained interest rates as well as growing geopolitical crises in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, resulting in a flight to safety to the US Dollar and selling pressure on commodities and other hard assets. While there are some expectations that interest rates have started to peak, investors remain risk-averse for the time being. Management has implemented strict cost controls but continues to invest in the operation, specifically through its ongoing exploration activities.
Plomosas High-Grade Zinc Mine
During the third quarter, the Company completed the finals steps to bring back online the 200 tpd Plomosas high-grade zinc mine in northern Mexico and subsequent to quarter-end, the mine successfully restarted production following a one-year hiatus (see IMPACT news release dated October 23, 2023). Plomosas adds significant and high-grade metal diversification through its zinc (-lead-silver) deposit as well as exciting exploration opportunities across the property's under explored area.
Exploration potential at Plomosas is exceptional with only 600m of the 6-kilometre-long structure assessed plus other exploration targets including untested copper-gold targets. Regionally, Plomosas lies in the same mineral belt as some of the largest CRD (carbon replacement deposits) in the world.
The Company currently has an offtake partner for material produced at Plomosas and has received several expressions of interest from other parties wishing to buy concentrate. As zinc prices continue to recover, management is considering expanding production beyond the current design capacity of 200 tpd.
Outlook
The Company's rehabilitation efforts at the Plomosas high-grade zinc mine, combined with the legacy silver producing assets at Zacualpan will provide substantial cash flow diversification and potential going forward. Management expects production to ramp up in early 2024 at Plomosas at a time when zinc prices have started to rebound due to reduced global supply levels stemming from the closure of higher cost, lower grade mines as well as other events impacting new supply. Meanwhile, some recent moderation in the Mexican Peso and indications of peaking inflation could bode well for margins going forward.
IMPACT maintains a strong balance sheet allowing for continued exploration at both mining districts. The Company has the potential to meaningfully add to production and resources at Plomosas which should lead to ongoing improvement in revenues and add shareholder value while management expects cost pressures to continue to abate heading into 2024.
The Company's growth is expected to reflect its strong position as one of just a handful of intermediate miners offering investors exposure to three distinct verticals across the silver and zinc mining sector, including exploration, production, and growth.
A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the quarter ended September 30, 2023 will be available on the Company website on November 23, 2023 at www.impactsilver.com/s/ConferenceCalls.asp.

January 09, 2024 9:00 AM EST | Source: IMPACT Silver Corp.
newsfilecorp.com
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 9, 2024) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its Plomosas high-grade zinc mine, located in the State of Chihuahua in northern Mexico, has entered into a managed services contract with Bell Internacional de Mexico/TTN Energia for the planning, design, construction, and operation of Tesla Corp.'s commercial battery with solar, energy efficiency platform, expected to meaningfully reduce its operating costs and eliminate nearly all carbon emissions associated with round-the-clock, diesel powered generators.
The platform will provide a sustainable and green energy efficiency solution, using off-grid, PV (solar) green electrical energy generation and AI-controlled battery storage systems, that will cut nearly 90% the annual 2,400 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions from diesel fuel combustion, thereby dramatically reducing IMPACT's carbon footprint at Plomosas.
About the Tesla Battery System with Solar
Clean electricity from a 2,200 kW solar plant will be supplied to an intelligent software controlled microgrid, equipped with a Tesla Megapack 2 XL 4-hour, 960 kW battery energy storage system (BESS), and continuously delivered to the load centers of the Plomosas mine, for current and future power demand requirements. The system will offer substantial power and expansion capacity for a near doubling of production from current design capacity levels.
Existing diesel generators will be kept onsite and activated automatically for occasional power generation support on consecutive cloudy or rainy days, and emergency backup. Notwithstanding, the battery's charge, which will be "topped up" regularly throughout daylight hours year-round, will be able to provide non-stop, clean power for up to 24 hours per day under current mine operation capacity.
Financial Implications
Immediate cost savings will take effect as contract pricing is based on a percentage of savings linked to the reduction of annual diesel usage, with "minimum saving safeguards" established to protect IMPACT should the price of diesel decline below an agreed upon "baseline" price that would otherwise reduce the amount of diesel cost savings to the Company.
Along with labour, diesel fuel is one of the largest operating costs at the Plomosas mine. No material capex is required by the Company for this project and savings are expected to amount to approximately 30-45% of the Company's current annual diesel input costs at Plomosas once the system is fully operational.
The Company anticipates the project to be fully integrated across the operation, providing nearly all the required power requirements to the Plomosas mine and plant by mid-Q2/2024.
President and CEO, Fred Davidson said, "We are thrilled to partner with world class contractors including Bell Internacional and TTN Energia, backed by the world-leading innovators at Tesla as we become the first truly green mining project. Shareholders can look forward to substantial cost savings and improving profit margins, as we solidify our position as a high-grade, low-cost zinc producer. Our first mover advantage will allow IMPACT to meaningfully reduce its carbon emissions while attracting the attention of potential partners, including some the world's most significant mining companies as we focus on growing production and exploration activity in 2024."

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 17, 2024) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce initial results of an ongoing exploration program being undertaken at the recently acquired Plomosas zinc (-lead-silver) mine in northern Mexico. Highlights include drill hole TAS-23-18 which cut three mineralized intervals: 2.7 meters with 11.07% zinc and 9.24% lead, 6.9 meters with 10.22% zinc and 5.43% lead, and 3.6 meters with 10.91% zinc and 2.07% lead.
The Company has undertaken a surface drill program to test mineralization near the "Très Amigos" section of the mine and has conducted a sampling program in stopes of the Plomosas mine that were partially exploited by the previous operator.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Initial drill results from the Très Amigos drill program have confirmed the presence of high-grade mineralization in the Juarez horizon, near accessible mine workings on levels 2, 5 and 7. Reported down-hole intervals are believed to represent true widths for the mineralization.
- Drill hole TAS-23-9 intersected three intervals, 5.70 meters (m) with 7.9% zinc, 5.3% lead and 23.2 g/t silver, 3.46m with 9.37% zinc, 5.24% lead and 25.9 g/t silver, and 1.5m with 11.89% zinc, 3.09% lead and 64.3 g/t silver.
- Hole TAS-23-16 cut two high grade intervals, 10.8 m with 6.30% zinc, 0.80% lead and 14.7 g/t silver, and 6.43 m with 8.99% Zinc, 1.16% Lead and 16.6 g/t Silver.
- Hole TAS-23-18 cut three intervals, 2.7 m with 11.07% zinc, 9.24% lead and 34.7 g/t silver, 6.9 m with 10.22% zinc, 5.43% lead and 27.7 g/t silver, and 3.6 m with 10.91% zinc, 2.07% lead and 50.0 g/t silver.
- Fifty-eight samples taken over a strike length of approximately 50 meters in the 880 stope on Level 8 of the Plomosas mine (Mina Vieja horizon) have yielded an average of 12.1% zinc, 5.8% lead and 44 g/t silver over an average sample width of 1.8 meters.

CEO STATEMENT
Chairman and CEO Fred Davidson commented, "We are pleased that our initial drilling and underground sampling program has returned high grades over mining widths in line with expectations at Plomosas. Our field crews have also begun exploration activity beyond the immediate mine area and have already identified some high priority drill targets. On the production side, the restart of mining and processing operations has gone well after an extended period of rehabilitation and upgrading of facilities and equipment, and we look forward to a full year of revenue generating production from Plomosas in 2024."
TRES AMIGOS DRILL RESULTS
The Plomosas mine, a historic high grade zinc producer in northern Mexico (Fig. 1), was recently acquired by the Company which has undertaken a surface drill program in the Très Amigos area of the mine and has conducted an underground sampling program in stopes of the Plomosas mine which were partially exploited by the previous operator. Mineralization at the Plomosas mine occurs as zinc-rich Carbonate Replacement Deposits along certain horizons of the local sedimentary rock sequence. Two main mineralized horizons have provided the bulk of historic production, the Mina Vieja marble and the Juarez limestone, where structural ground preparation along these two units resulted in concentrations of zinc, lead and silver (Figure 2).
The Company initiated an exploration drill program of the Juarez limestone in the Tres Amigos area to test mineralization near workings with known mineralization from historic work (Figure 3). Mineralization in the Juarez limestone generally forms pods of high-grade zinc and lead at and near the contact with an overlying shale, and drill results such as reported here indicate potential for a large body of mineralization in this area (Figure 4), providing impetus for further exploration.
The Company also conducted an underground sampling program in mine workings between levels 8 and 9 that the former operator partially exploited along the Mina Vieja horizon (Fig. 5). These high-grade results are being evaluated in relation to the mill upgrades the Company has recently completed.
ABOUT IMPACT SILVER
IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) is a successful producer-explorer with two mining projects in Mexico.
- Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold District: IMPACT owns 100% of the 211 km2 Zacualpan project in central Mexico where three underground silver mines and one open pit mine feed the central 500 tpd Guadalupe processing plant. To the south, the Capire Project includes a 200 tpd processing pilot plant adjacent to an open pit silver mine with an NI 43-101 inferred mineral resource of over 4.5 million oz silver, 48 million lbs zinc and 21 million lbs lead (see IMPACT news release dated January 18, 2016 for details and QP statement). Company engineers are reviewing Capire for a potential restart of operations. Over the past 17 years, IMPACT has placed multiple zones into commercial production and produced over 12 million ounces of silver, generating revenues over $256 million, with no long-term debt.
- Plomosas Zinc-Lead-Silver District: Plomosas is a high-grade zinc producer in northern Mexico with exceptional exploration upside potential where only 600m of the 6 km-long structure have seen modern exploration to date. This is in addition to other exploration targets on the 3,019-hectare property including untested copper-gold targets with indications of high-grade material from surface. Regionally, Plomosas lies in the same mineral belt as some of the largest carbonate replacement deposits in the world.
Quality Control/Quality Assurance Samples take by the Company were analyzed by ALS Group, an internationally recognized analytical services provider, and by the laboratory at the Plomosas mine. Samples analyzed by ALS used fire assay with an AA finish for gold and a multielement ICP package for other metals. Assays for metals >1% used an overlimit ICP method. For samples with >30%Zn a wet chemical method is used. For analyses at the mine, all metals are analyzed by AA. For some samples with >30% Zn, the analysis from the mine lab was used if an overlimit from ALS was not available. Certified Reference Materials and internal control samples are added to the sample stream at regular intervals to track accuracy of assays.

- High priority targets have been identified for drilling elsewhere on the property.
TABLE 1: PLOMOSAS DRILL RESULTS - TRES AMIGOS ZONE | Hole No. | From (metres) | To (metres) | Interval (metres) | Zinc (%) | Lead (%) | Silver (g/t) | TASC_24_027 | 231.00 | 235.90 | 4.90 | 6.19 | 2.66 | 21 | Including | 234.80 | 235.90 | 1.10 | 20.90 | 7.96 | 41 | TASC_24_028 | 247.80 | 256.40 | 8.60 | 10.22 | 0.50 | 8 | Including | 250.90 | 256.40 | 5.50 | 14.67 | 0.66 | 11 | Including | 252.40 | 255.00 | 2.60 | 23.61 | 0.79 | 15 | Including | 253.90 | 255.00 | 1.10 | 30.10 | 0.86 | 14 | TASC_24_029 | 247.10 | 250.70 | 3.60 | 10.54 | 5.48 | 19 | Including | 247.10 | 248.95 | 1.85 | 17.95 | 10.16 | 32 | TASC_24_030 | 279.70 | 281.20 | 1.50 | 7.98 | 0.05 | 5 | TASC_24_031 | 196.00 | 197.00 | 1.00 | 3.09 | 1.96 | 9 | TASC_24_032 | 220.8 | 232.5 | 11.70 | 4.16 | 2.43 | 13 | Including | 231.70 | 232.50 | 0.80 | 30.10 | 18.05 | 84 | TASC_24_033 | 90.90 | 92.35 | 1.45 | 6.93 | 0.91 | 7 |
Drilled intervals are interpreted to be approximate true widths. Other holes drilled on the eastern extension of the Tres Amigos Zone mining area intersected low grades.
CEO STATEMENT
President and CEO Frederick Davidson commented, "It is very encouraging that we continue to drill high grade intersections in the Tres Amigos Zone at the Plomosas Mine. These intersections are located close to current mine workings and represent near term high grade mineralization for mining once operations are fully underway. When the near mine drilling is completed, we will next move the drill to test high priority targets beyond the immediate mine area."
PLOMOSAS MINE GEOLOGY AND MINERALIZATION
The Plomosas mine, a historic high grade zinc producer in northern Mexico (Figure 1), was recently acquired by the Company which has undertaken a surface drill program in the Tres Amigos area of the mine and has conducted an underground sampling program in stopes of the Plomosas mine which were partially exploited by the previous operator. Mineralization at the Plomosas mine occurs as zinc-rich Carbonate Replacement zones along certain horizons of the local sedimentary rock sequence. Two main mineralized horizons have provided the bulk of historic production, the Mina Vieja marble and the Juarez limestone, where structural ground preparation along these two units resulted in concentrations of zinc, lead and silver (Figure 2).
The Company initiated an exploration drill program on the Juarez limestone in the Tres Amigos area to test mineralization near workings with known mineralization from historic work. Mineralization in the Juarez limestone generally forms pods of high-grade zinc and lead at and near the contact with an overlying shale, and drill results such as reported here indicate potential for a additional high grade mineralization in this area providing impetus for further exploration.
ABOUT IMPACT SILVER
IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) is a successful producer-explorer with two mining projects in Mexico.
- Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold District: IMPACT owns 100% of the 211 km2 Zacualpan project in central Mexico where three underground silver mines and one open pit mine feed the central 500 tpd Guadalupe processing plant.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 6, 2024) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a new silver vein discovery in its producing Guadalupe silver mine in the Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold District, Mexico.
GUADALUPE UNDERGROUND DRILLING - NEW DISCOVERY
Underground drilling south from Level 140 of the Guadalupe Mine intersected new significant mineralization designated Kena Vein South, within 100-200 metres of active mine workings. Assays have been received from the first four drill holes in the zone:
TABLE 1: KENA VEIN SOUTH DRILL RESULTS - GUADALUPE MINE | Hole No. | From (metres) | To (metres) | Interval (metres) | Silver (g/t) | Gold (g/t) | Lead (%) | Zinc (%) | MPZ-UG-001-24 | 79.45 | 81.10 | 1.65 | 377.9 | 0.40 | 0.27 | 0.42 | And | 178.10 | 178.85 | 0.75 | 1,400.0 | 0.39 | 0.90 | 2.09 | And | 206.70 | 224.00 | 17.30 | 213.8 | 0.02 | 0.15 | 0.25 | Including | 206.70 | 210.60 | 3.90 | 357.7 | 0.03 | 0.18 | 0.41 | And | 231.80 | 232.10 | 0.30 | 782.0 | 0.06 | 0.13 | 0.29 | MPZ-UG-003-24 | 241.62 | 242.40 | 0.78 | 463.0 | 0.09 | 0.63 | 1.23 | And | 254.00 | 255.20 | 1.20 | 198.0 | 1.99 | 3.31 | 5.93 | MPZ-UG-004-24 | 179.50 | 179.90 | 0.40 | 1,450.0 | 0.65 | 2.16 | 3.05 | And | 263.00 | 263.70 | 0.70 | 1,615.0 | 0.58 | 1.83 | 6.05 |
True widths are interpreted to be 85-100% of drill intervals. Hole UG-002-24 was drilled 50 metres to the northwest of the new discovery area and intersected low grades. The wide, high grade intersection in hole MPZ-UG-001-24 is interpreted to be locally thickened by stacked splay veins off the main vein.
The Kena Vein South has now been drill tested over a length of 150 metres from mine Level 140 and is open for extension to the southeast, updip and downdip. Drilling is continuing.
CEO STATEMENT
President and CEO Frederick Davidson commented, "The Guadalupe mine first began production almost 500 years ago and we are still finding new discoveries in the swarm of veins that make up the mine complex mineralizing system. We are currently drilling this new Kena Vein South from the 140 metre level of the mine. We will next move the drill to lower and higher levels of the mine to fully define the vein for mining. The close proximity of the new vein to current active mine workings will allow for rapid and low cost mine development."

newsfilecorp.com
May 28, 2024 4:12 PM EDT | Source: IMPACT Silver Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 28, 2024) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") announces its financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. The Company reports revenue of $5.3 million in Q1 2024, of which $4.3 million was from Guadalupe Mining Centre with $1.0 million from the start-up operations at the Plomosas mine which was acquired in April 2023 . There was a net loss during the period of $3.1 million, primarily from MLAZ (Plomosas zinc mine) as that company incurred $2.8 million in operating costs expensed during the quarter to upgrade the facilities.
Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company announced a non-brokered private placement financing of up to $10.2 million, and closed the first tranche for aggregate gross proceeds of $7.1 million. The second tranche is anticipated to close on or before the week of June 3, 2024. During the quarter, the Company continued to focus on exploration and development of its mining districts and spent $1.9 million on these programs.
The price of silver and zinc started to improve towards the end of the quarter as a more dovish policy from the U.S. Federal Reserve led to speculation of interest rate cuts in 2024. These gains were reinforced as it became clearer that inflation was trending towards the central bank's target of 2%.

Throughout the first quarter, management sought to accelerate maintenance, rehabilitation and underground development efforts at both mines including upgrading the underground railway track system and shaft at Zacualpan while redesigning the Plomosas mine plan and planning a low-cost solar and battery power solution at Plomosas. The second quarter has already seen significant upward price movement in commodity prices, namely for silver and zinc which are the Company's two main revenue sources. Additionally, the Company successfully negotiated a new labour agreement with the primary union at the Zacualpan silver operation, allowing for added cost certainty and more efficient production going forward.
Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated, "We spent the first quarter positioning the Company for the future. Major rehabilitation efforts at the Zacualpan operation and the development at Plomosas mine, coupled with added visibility for a significant portion of our cost structure such as labour at Zacualpan and the potential low cost sustainable power at Plomosas, have positioned the Company to benefit from the current increase in commodity prices. Management expects operating profit to improve throughout the year as both operations ramp up to full design capacity and investments made over the last 12 months begin to bear fruit for investors."
Q1 2024 Review
Zacualpan Silver Operation
During the quarter, the Company milled a total of 31,735 tonnes of mill feed at the Zacualpan/Guadalupe complex, down from 35,825 tonnes in Q4 2023. The decline was due to maintenance at the mine including rebuilding the underground railway track system and shaft which resulted in production stops during the quarter. The Company returned to normal capacity levels by the end of the period.
As a result, silver production from the Guadalupe complex during the period was 137,291 oz compared to 156,430 oz in Q4 2023. The average mill head grade on a silver-equivalent basis in Q1 2024 was 161 g/t compared to 160 g/t in Q4 2023. Lower gold production was due to reduced recoveries as well a temporary stop in production at the gold-rich Alacran mine while conducting metallurgical studies. Alacran is the principal source of gold production and with improved recoveries is expected to return to production in the second half of 2024. Notwithstanding, revenue per tonne sold in the period was comparable at $134.59 to $135.80 in Q4 2023, while direct costs per tonne decreased to $128.12 from $152.38.
Plomosas Zinc Operation
At the Plomosas mine, the Company recommenced limited test production in October 2023, after a substantial stage one rehabilitation program following the acquisition of the mine in April 2023. In Q1 2024, the Plomosas mine continued the gradual start-up of operations processing 3,594 tonnes with a grade of 15.3% zinc. Typical start-up pauses are ongoing to review and optimize processes. Continued improvements are taking place, and the mine is expected to reach design capacity of 200 tpd later in 2024.
Outlook
Management believes the Company is well-positioned as an intermediate miner offering investors exposure to three distinct verticals across the mining sector, including exploration, production, and growth.
IMPACT continues to be one of the purest intermediate silver miners with nearly all the Company's revenue coming from silver-focused operations during the quarter. Later in 2024, the Company's high-grade Plomosas zinc mine is anticipated to meaningfully contribute to the overall revenue mix, especially as zinc has been one of the top base metal performers this year, with pricing up nearly 30% from 2024 lows in Q1. Meanwhile, the Company continues to seek increased gold production and aims to aggressively expand exploration activity at both mines to drive higher grade and profitability.
A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the quarter ended March 31, 2024 will be available on the Company website on May 30, 2024 at api.newsfilecorp.com.

Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold District: IMPACT owns 100% of the 211 km2 Zacualpan project in central Mexico where four underground silver mines and one open pit mine feed the central 500 tpd Guadalupe processing plant. To the south, the Capire Project includes a 200 tpd processing pilot plant adjacent to an open pit silver mine with an NI?43-101 inferred mineral resource of over 4.5?million oz silver, 48 million lbs zinc and 21 million lbs lead (see IMPACT news release dated January 18, 2016, for details and QP statement). Company engineers are reviewing Capire for a potential restart of operations to leverage improving commodity prices. Over the past 18 years, IMPACT has developed multiple exploration zones into commercial production and has produced over 12 million ounces of silver, generating revenue more than $265 million, with no long-term debt.
Plomosas Zinc-Lead-Silver District: Plomosas is a high-grade zinc producer in northern Mexico with exceptional exploration upside potential. The Company recently began preliminary mining and processing operations where upgrades to facilities and equipment continue. Exploration potential at Plomosas is exceptional with only 600m of the 6 km-long structure have seen modern exploration. This is in addition to other exploration targets on the 3,019-hectare property including untested copper-gold targets with indications of high-grade material from surface. Regionally, Plomosas lies in the same mineral belt as some of the largest carbonate replacement deposits in the world.
