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.

Location Map in Mexico
• Nearly 100% owned and operated 623 km² (62,300 ha) mineral exploration package in south-central Mexico
• Two contiguous mineral districts with mining activities dating back to the 1500s
• A three-hour drive southwest from Mexico City, with paved road access to the gate of the processing plant
• Excellent infrastructure, with a modern power grid, ample water supply and a skilled, 99% Mexican workforce
• Many other significant mining operations within close proximity
5
• The Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver District is one of the oldest mining districts in the Americas
• Over 3,000 old mine workings have been catalogued to date, forming the basis for modern and effective exploration
• IMPACT purchased the Zacualpan assets in 2006 and consolidated the ownership of the entire district for the first time in its history
• The 623 km² land package consists of the Zacualpan District, the Capire District and the Valle de Oro subdistrict
Prolific Mining History in Zacualpan District

District Location Map
• The Royal Mines of Zacualpan (“Zacualpan”) is a 100%-owned and operated, 423 km² land package
• The 500 tonne-per-day (“tpd”)Guadalupe Production Centre is fed by three underground, epithermal silver mines: The San Ramon, the Noche Buena and the Cuchara-Oscar Mine
• The adjacent Capire District is 200 km² at hosts a 200 tpd pilot plant, fed by the nearby VMS, open-pit Capire Mine

Valle de Oro – Gold Potential at Depth
• First gold-copper zone found by exploration team in a canyon below the known silver veins in the Zacualpan District
• Now known as the Valle de Oro, this is an area of many silver veins with gold and copper mineralization at depth
• The San Juan Project area encompasses a series of old mine workings located 150 m north of the Noche Buena Mine on the Carlos Pacheco vein
• IMPACT’s previous drilling on Carlos Pacheco intersected gold values including 19.6 g/t gold across 2.9 m and 3.84 g/t gold across 6.7 m
