MANAGEMENT
IMPACT Silver is a junior silver producer with low cost operations and a growing portfolio of silver mines in south-central Mexico.
A cornerstone of IMPACT’s success is systematic exploration leading to rapid mine development to increase mill throughput and generate near-term cash flow.
Focused on creating value by growth primarily through earnings, in the pursuit of building a multimillion ounce precious metals producer.

Property Location in Mexico
• The Royal Mines of Zacualpan is one of the oldest mining districts in the Americas, with over 485 years of recorded mining history
• IMPACT’s 623 km² land package consists of two large mineral districts and one subdistrict: The Zacualpan District and the Capire-Mamatla District, and the Valle de Oro subdistrict
• IMPACT’s exploration work has catalogued over 3,000 old mine and mill workings, forming an invaluable basis for modern and effective
exploration
