Current production is from the Carlos Pacheco Vein System. CEO STATEMENTPresident and CEO Fred Davidson commented, "These new additional drill results, confirm high-grade gold and silver on the extension of the Carlos Pacheco Vein System north of where we recently restarted mining. This mine has two different veins, the Noche Buena Vein from which we mine silver and the nearby Carlos Pacheco Vein System where we have begun to mine gold as well as silver. Being so close to our existing mining infrastructure, these high-grade intersections should begin to be reflected in our mine production later this year."ABOUT IMPACT SILVERIMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) is a successful producer-explorer with two projects in Mexico. Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold Mine: IMPACT owns 100% of over 200 km2 of highly prospective ground at Zacualpan in central Mexico where four producing underground silver-gold 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 ounces silver, 48 million lbs zinc and 21 million lbs lead in 1,786,000 tonnes grading 79g/t Ag, 1.22% Zn and 0.54% Pb (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 20 years, IMPACT has developed multiple exploration zones into commercial production and has produced approximately 14 million ounces of silver, generating revenue of more than $322 million, with no long-term debt. Plomosas Zinc Project: Plomosas is a high-grade zinc project in northern Mexico with exploration upside potential. In March 2026, the Company temporarily suspended mining operations at Plomosas while it works toward a more efficient and sustainable operating plan. Exploration potential at Plomosas lies along a long 6 km structure. 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 at surface. Regionally, Plomosas lies in the same mineral belt as some of the largest carbonate replacement deposits in the world. Quality Control/Quality AssuranceDrill core was NTW size (5.71 cm diameter). Half core samples were collected with a rock saw and tagged for identification. All samples were securely stored at the Zacualpan Mine until shipment. A total of 5% certified assay standards and 5% blanks were inserted into every sample shipment as a quality control measure. All samples were shipped to the ALS preparation laboratory in Guadalajara, Mexico, where they were fine crushed (70% passing a 2 mm screen), pulverized (85% passing a 75 micron screen) and pulp split separated for assay. These pulps were shipped to the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver, Canada, where a 10 gram split was aqua regia digested and then analyzed for 36 elements including zinc, lead and silver by ICP-AES spectrometry (ALS code ME-ICP41). Assays for base metals >1% used an overlimit ICP-AES method (ALS code OG46). All gold results were carried out by standard fire assay with an AAS finish (ALS code Au-AA23). ALS is a major, independent, international ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory.Qualified Person and NI 43-101 DisclosureVictor Jaramillo, P.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 20, 2026) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to report financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Revenue increased to $31.2 million, nearly three times $10.7 million in Q1 2025, driven by higher silver prices, higher grades, and increased mill throughput at the Zacualpan Silver Operation.
Gross profit grew almost ten-fold to $20.3 million, from $2.2 million in Q1 2025.
Net income for the quarter was $11.3 million, or $0.03 per share, marking a return to profitability following a net loss of $0.1 million in Q1 2025.
At quarter-end, IMPACT held $45.3 million in cash, $4.0 million in guaranteed investment certificates ("GICs"), working capital of $48.0 million, and carried no long-term debt.
Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated, "This is the kind of quarter we have been working toward for a long time. Revenue nearly tripled, gross profit grew almost tenfold, and we delivered our strongest quarterly net income in the history of the Company — all while continuing to invest in development and exploration. The silver price environment is clearly part of the story, but the bigger story is what is happening on the ground at Zacualpan: higher grades, higher throughput, and the meaningful contribution from our newly developed Kena Vein. At Plomosas, we reduced expenditures by making the disciplined decision to temporarily suspend underground mining while we work toward a more efficient and sustainable operating plan, and we are in advanced-stage discussions on toll-milling arrangements with nearby third-party operators that we believe can generate cash flow during the suspension. IMPACT is in the strongest financial position in its history, with the resources to optimize Zacualpan, advance Plomosas, and pursue new opportunities in Mexico."
Q1 2026 Review
Zacualpan Silver-Lead-Zinc Operation
Revenue from Zacualpan increased to $29.3 million in Q1 2026 from $7.2 million in Q1 2025 on realized silver prices of $77.91 per ounce, compared to $$31.51 per ounce in Q1 2025. Operating expenses at Zacualpan were $6.7 million in Q1 2026, up from $4.8 million in Q1 2025 on higher throughput, underground development expenses, and inflationary pressures. Gross profit from Zacualpan rose to $22.3 million, compared to $2.2 million in the same period last year.
In Q1 2026, the Guadalupe mill processed 37,922 tonnes of mill feed at the Zacualpan/Guadalupe complex, representing an 8% increase from 35,012 tonnes in Q1 2025. Silver production at the Guadalupe complex totaled 268,470 ounces in Q1 2026, an 80% increase from 149,449 ounces in the same period last year, with the average silver grade increasing 60% to 251 grams per tonne ("g/t").
Subsequent to quarter end, IMPACT reported initial drill results from the north extension of the Carlos Pacheco Vein, including 114.5 g/t gold, 1,295 g/t silver and 1.10% copper over 0.61 metres within 9.79 g/t gold, 212 g/t silver and 0.29% copper over 9.49 metres (see IMPACT news release dated April 21, 2026).
Plomosas Zinc-Lead-Silver Operation
Plomosas revenue in Q1 2026 was $1.8 million, compared to $3.5 million in Q1 2025, with the operation recording a gross loss of $2.0 million for the quarter (Q1 2025 – gross loss of $0.03 million).
In Q1 2026, the Plomosas mill processed 10,692 tonnes, down 25% from 14,265 tonnes in Q1 2025. Average grades in Q1 2026 were 7.6% zinc, 6.0% lead, and 52.1 g/t silver. Sales for the quarter totaled 500 tonnes of zinc, 157 tonnes of lead, and 7,020 ounces of silver.
On March 20, 2026, the Company announced a temporary suspension of underground mining at Plomosas, effective at the end of March 2026, while it works toward a more efficient and sustainable operating plan. The decision followed a detailed assessment of underground operations, production rates, grade and cost performance, which identified that development intensity and variability in grade and tonnage had impacted cost efficiency and operational consistency.
During the suspension period, the Company will focus on updating the geological model, optimizing and redesigning the mine plan and development, and continuing exploration both underground and on the surface, including targets at Mina Juarez, Mina Mexico, Alfoncitos, and the La Chona Au-Cu target. The Company has acquired a second underground drill rig to support the programs.
Outlook
Management believes IMPACT is well positioned as an established intermediate producer, offering investors leveraged exposure to silver in a strong commodity price environment, supported by a debt-free, cash-rich balance sheet and a strong working capital position.
At Zacualpan, the Company plans to shift the production mix toward higher-grade silver vein systems, including the new Kena vein in the Guadalupe Mine, while advancing development at the recently restarted Noche Buena-Carlos Pacheco mine and pending development of the new San Ramon SE Deeps area. A focused program of definition and step-out drilling is expected to provide additional feed from the San Ramon, Carlos Pacheco, Noche Buena, and Guadalupe mines.
At Plomosas, the Company is pursuing additional mill feed with nearby third-party operators while advancing surface and underground exploration on the underexplored 3,019-hectare property. The Company believes the property and underlying geology remain its prime asset and continues to view the district as offering exploration upside along the prospective 6-kilometre structure.
The Company's strong working capital position provides the flexibility to expand exploration programs, optimize production at Zacualpan, advance development at Plomosas, and actively evaluate new opportunities, primarily in the Mexican market.
A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the quarter ended March 31, 2026 will be available on the Company website on May 20th, 2026 at https://impactsilver.com/media/conference-calls/.

This 150m well mineralized segment trends NNW. Beyond that the vein bends toward a NW direction where three drill holes (Z25-13, 14, 15) did not intersect any significant mineralization. However, further north beyond drill hole Z25-15, drill hole Z26-02 intersected significant assays and additional drilling is planned. NOCHE BUENA MINEIn late 2025, IMPACT restarted the Noche Buena Mine where previous mining sourced mineral from two veins - the Noche Buena silver vein and the Carlos Pacheco gold-silver vein - and began mapping and drilling of the north extensions of the Carlos Pacheco Vein. Current production is from the Carlos Pacheco Vein System.CEO STATEMENTPresident and CEO Fred Davidson commented, "We are very pleased with these new high-grade gold and silver drill results on the extension of the Carlos Pacheco Vein System north of where we recently restarted mining. This mine has two different veins, the Noche Buena Vein from which we mine silver and the nearby Carlos Pacheco Vein System where we have begun to mine gold as well as silver. We are also encouraged by the significant copper values in this north extension and with additional exploration success, may consider mining copper as well. All in all, an excellent first phase to the drill program and to the benefit of our Noche Buena Mine."ABOUT IMPACT SILVERIMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) is a successful producer-explorer with two projects in Mexico. Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold Mine: IMPACT owns 100% of over 200 km2 of highly prospective ground at Zacualpan in central Mexico where four producing 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 which is being reviewed for a potential restart of operations. Over the past 20 years, IMPACT has developed multiple exploration zones into commercial production and has produced approximately 14 million ounces of silver, generating revenue of more than $322 million, with no long-term debt.Plomosas Zinc Project: Plomosas is a high-grade zinc project in northern Mexico with exploration upside potential. In March 2026, the Company temporarily suspended mining operations at Plomosas while it works toward a more efficient and sustainable operating plan. Exploration potential at Plomosas lies along a long 6 km structure. 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 at surface. Regionally, Plomosas lies in the same mineral belt as some of the largest carbonate replacement deposits in the world. Quality Control/Quality AssuranceDrill core was NTW size (5.71 cm diameter). Half core samples were collected with a rock saw and tagged for identification. All samples were securely stored at the Zacualpan Mine until shipment. A total of 5% certified assay standards and 5% blanks were inserted into every sample shipment as a quality control measure. All samples were shipped to the ALS preparation laboratory in Guadalajara, Mexico, where they were fine crushed (70% passing a 2 mm screen), pulverized (85% passing a 75 micron screen) and pulp split separated for assay. These pulps were shipped to the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver, Canada, where a 10 gram split was aqua regia digested and then analyzed for 36 elements including zinc, lead and silver by ICP-AES spectrometry (ALS code ME-ICP41). Assays for base metals >1% used an overlimit ICP-AES method (ALS code OG46). All gold results were carried out by standard fire assay with an AAS finish (ALS code Au-AA23). ALS is a major, independent, international ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory.Qualified Person and NI 43-101 DisclosureSilvia Kohler, P.

IMPACT Silver Announces Full Year 2025 Results with Record Revenue and Strong Cash Position
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/292842/IMPACT-Silver-Announces-Full-Year-2025-Results-with-Record-Revenue-and-Strong-Cash-Position
April 16, 2026 8:00 AM EDT | Source: IMPACT Silver Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2026) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2025. IMPACT is a growing intermediate silver producer with a fully integrated presence across the value chain, encompassing production, development and exploration. In 2025, the Company benefited from strong commodity prices, improving grades and disciplined cost controls, further cementing its position as a significant silver producer within the extensive Royal Mines of Zacualpan mining district in Central Mexico.
The Company reported record revenue of $48.5 million in 2025, representing a substantial 52% increase compared to $31.9 million in FY 2024. Gross profit for Q4 2025 was $6.6 million, and $10.4 million in FY 2025, compared to $1.1 million in Q4 2024 and a loss of $2.2 million in FY 2024.
In Q4 2025, revenue from the Zacualpan silver complex generated $15.1 million, a 129% increase compared to Q4 2024, on higher metal prices and improving grades. Gross profit increased to $8.6 million from $1.1 million over the same period at the operation.
At the end of 2025, the Company had cash of $23.7 million, and $4.0 million invested in guaranteed investment certificates with strong working capital of $31.7 million. The Company has no long term debt.
In Q4 2025, there was an indicator of under performance at the Plomosas Zinc Mine, and following an impairment test a $8.8 million impairment loss was recognized. Subsequent to year end, the Company elected to temporarily suspend underground mining at Plomosas while it works toward a more efficient and sustainable operating plan. The Company is in advanced-stage discussions with a nearby third-party mining company to utilize the Plomosas processing plant during the suspension period to generate cash flows.
During the suspension, the Company will continue advancing exploration both underground and at surface across the approximately 6-kilometre prospective trend, as well as focusing on optimizing the mine and geological plans, with the objective of supporting a sustainable restart over the coming quarters. This work is expected to better define higher-quality mineralization and test new exploration targets to support a more robust and better-defined restart. The suspension is also expected to reduce operating costs, preserve capital and improve overall capital efficiency until Plomosas can be restarted under a new sustainable operating plan.
With a strong cash position, and continued positive cash flow from its Zacualpan operations, the Company is well positioned for this transition.
After recording the non-cash impairment loss of $8.8 million from Plomosas, and $1.2 million for share-based compensation expense, the net loss YTD 2025 was $10.3 million (the loss before income taxes was $8.3 million), compared to a net loss of $9.8 million in 2024.
Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated, "2025 proved to be a milestone year for the Company. Strengthening metal prices combined with years of sustained exploration activity began to pay dividends at our Zacualpan silver-lead-zinc mining complex, where improving grades and disciplined cost management drove record revenue and profitability. Underpinned by a strong, cash-rich balance sheet with no long-term debt, our continued investment in exploration positions the Company well to capitalize on favourable macroeconomic tailwinds while maintaining an efficient production platform.
At the same time, we made the difficult but necessary decision to suspend operations at the Plomosas complex. Substantial work has been put in place to reduce its drag on the Company's overall financial performance, and we have identified several promising alternatives that we expect will meaningfully benefit the operation and financial performance of the Company in 2026."
2025 PRODUCTION OVERVIEW — ZACUALPAN PROJECT (SILVER-LEAD-ZINC)
Silver production in 2025 was 635,778 ounces (2024 - 595,264 ounces). In Q4 2025 silver production improved 17% to 190,253 ounces over Q4 2024.
YTD 2025 tonnes milled increased 5% to 143,192.
Revenue per tonne sold improved 60% in 2025 compared to 2024, and by 107% to $391.28 in Q4 2025 compared to $189.34 in Q4 2024.
Direct cost per tonne milled increased in 2025 to $153.87 from 143.80 in 2024, and to $156.49 from $146.09 in Q4 2025.
Silver sales in 2025 were 636,267 compared to 592,844 ounces in 2024. Silver sales in Q4 2025 of 190,733 ounces improved by 25% over 152,552 ounces in Q4 2024.
Average mill feed silver grade in Q4 2025 improved 9% to 179 grams per tonne (Q4 2024 - 164 grams per tonne). YTD 2025 the grade was 163 grams per tonne up 1% over 2024.
Looking ahead, mine management plans to shift the production mix toward higher-grade silver vein systems, including the new Kena vein, which was announced in 2024. With the recent increase in the price of silver, the Company is also reviewing areas of slightly lower grades to incrementally add to production. Additionally, a focused program of definition and step-out drilling is expected to provide additional feed from the San Ramon, Carlos Pacheco, Noche Buena and Guadalupe mines.
PLOMOSAS PROJECT
Following the acquisition of the Plomosas high grade zinc-lead-silver mine in April 2023, the Company embarked on an aggressive rehabilitation program to bring the mine back online.
In Q4 2025, despite a number of operating issues that impacted production including local poor ground conditions which caused the relocation of the mine's decline, the mine was able to produce 9,171 tonnes at an average grade of 8.3% Zn, 4.7% Pb and 34.0 g/t Ag, bringing the YTD mill throughput to 46,875 tons, representing a 20% increase over YTD 2024 production.
Under the current mine plan, continued mining was not expected to deliver sustainable economic results without requirements for additional development capital. As a result, the Company has elected to temporarily suspend underground mining while it works toward a more efficient and sustainable operating plan. In Q1 2026, the Company entered into discussions with other nearby mining companies where their mill feed could be processed in the Plomosas mill to generate cash flows. During the suspension period, the Company will focus on updating its geological model, as well as optimizing and redesigning the mine plan and development, and will continue exploration underground, as well as surface exploration on the balance of its property, including pursuing a number of mineralized targets including Mina Juarez, Mine Mexico, Alfoncitos and the La Chona Au-Cu target.
GOING FORWARD
Management believes the Company is well positioned to capitalize on years of disciplined exploration activity, rigorous cost controls, and operational efficiencies, all against a backdrop of strengthening commodity prices. At the flagship Zacualpan silver-lead-zinc property, higher-grade production combined with continued investment in the exploration and development of recently discovered high-grade vein systems is expected to drive sustained financial performance, as reflected in the Q4 2025 segmented results.
Efforts are also ongoing to optimize gold production through a multi-mine feed strategy across the property, while management continues to evaluate strategic options for the historic Capire open-pit silver mine to capitalize on favourable silver market conditions.
Underpinned by a strong balance sheet, 2026 is positioned to build on a solid foundation, advancing shareholder value through improved grades, increased production, and continued exploration success.
A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the year ended December 31, 2025 will be available on the Company website on April 17, 2026 at www.impactsilver.com/s/ConferenceCalls.asp.

IMPACT Silver Announces Full Year 2025 Results with Record Revenue and Strong Cash PositionApril 16, 2026 8:00 AM
NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2026) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2025. IMPACT is a growing intermediate silver producer with a fully integrated presence across the value chain, encompassing production, development and exploration. In 2025, the Company benefited from strong commodity prices, improving grades and disciplined cost controls, further cementing its position as a significant silver producer within the extensive Royal Mines of Zacualpan mining district in Central Mexico.The Company reported record revenue of $48.5 million in 2025, representing a substantial 52% increase compared to $31.9 million in FY 2024. Gross profit for Q4 2025 was $6.6 million, and $10.4 million in FY 2025, compared to $1.1 million in Q4 2024 and a loss of $2.2 million in FY 2024.In Q4 2025, revenue from the Zacualpan silver complex generated $15.1 million, a 129% increase compared to Q4 2024, on higher metal prices and improving grades. Gross profit increased to $8.6 million from $1.1 million over the same period at the operation.At the end of 2025, the Company had cash of $23.7 million, and $4.0 million invested in guaranteed investment certificates with strong working capital of $31.7 million. The Company has no long term debt.In Q4 2025, there was an indicator of under performance at the Plomosas Zinc Mine, and following an impairment test a $8.8 million impairment loss was recognized. Subsequent to year end, the Company elected to temporarily suspend underground mining at Plomosas while it works toward a more efficient and sustainable operating plan. The Company is in advanced-stage discussions with a nearby third-party mining company to utilize the Plomosas processing plant during the suspension period to generate cash flows. During the suspension, the Company will continue advancing exploration both underground and at surface across the approximately 6-kilometre prospective trend, as well as focusing on optimizing the mine and geological plans, with the objective of supporting a sustainable restart over the coming quarters. This work is expected to better define higher-quality mineralization and test new exploration targets to support a more robust and better-defined restart. The suspension is also expected to reduce operating costs, preserve capital and improve overall capital efficiency until Plomosas can be restarted under a new sustainable operating plan.With a strong cash position, and continued positive cash flow from its Zacualpan operations, the Company is well positioned for this transition. After recording the non-cash impairment loss of $8.8 million from Plomosas, and $1.2 million for share-based compensation expense, the net loss YTD 2025 was $10.3 million (the loss before income taxes was $8.3 million), compared to a net loss of $9.8 million in 2024.Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated, "2025 proved to be a milestone year for the Company. Strengthening metal prices combined with years of sustained exploration activity began to pay dividends at our Zacualpan silver-lead-zinc mining complex, where improving grades and disciplined cost management drove record revenue and profitability. Underpinned by a strong, cash-rich balance sheet with no long-term debt, our continued investment in exploration positions the Company well to capitalize on favourable macroeconomic tailwinds while maintaining an efficient production platform.At the same time, we made the difficult but necessary decision to suspend operations at the Plomosas complex. Substantial work has been put in place to reduce its drag on the Company's overall financial performance, and we have identified several promising alternatives that we expect will meaningfully benefit the operation and financial performance of the Company in 2026."2025 PRODUCTION OVERVIEW — ZACUALPAN PROJECT (SILVER-LEAD-ZINC)Silver production in 2025 was 635,778 ounces (2024 - 595,264 ounces). In Q4 2025 silver production improved 17% to 190,253 ounces over Q4 2024. YTD 2025 tonnes milled increased 5% to 143,192.Revenue per tonne sold improved 60% in 2025 compared to 2024, and by 107% to $391.28 in Q4 2025 compared to $189.34 in Q4 2024. Direct cost per tonne milled increased in 2025 to $153.87 from 143.80 in 2024, and to $156.49 from $146.09 in Q4 2025.Silver sales in 2025 were 636,267 compared to 592,844 ounces in 2024. Silver sales in Q4 2025 of 190,733 ounces improved by 25% over 152,552 ounces in Q4 2024.Average mill feed silver grade in Q4 2025 improved 9% to 179 grams per tonne (Q4 2024 - 164 grams per tonne). YTD 2025 the grade was 163 grams per tonne up 1% over 2024. Looking ahead, mine management plans to shift the production mix toward higher-grade silver vein systems, including the new Kena vein, which was announced in 2024. With the recent increase in the price of silver, the Company is also reviewing areas of slightly lower grades to incrementally add to production. Additionally, a focused program of definition and step-out drilling is expected to provide additional feed from the San Ramon, Carlos Pacheco, Noche Buena and Guadalupe mines.PLOMOSAS PROJECTFollowing the acquisition of the Plomosas high grade zinc-lead-silver mine in April 2023, the Company embarked on an aggressive rehabilitation program to bring the mine back online. In Q4 2025, despite a number of operating issues that impacted production including local poor ground conditions which caused the relocation of the mine's decline, the mine was able to produce 9,171 tonnes at an average grade of 8.3% Zn, 4.7% Pb and 34.0 g/t Ag, bringing the YTD mill throughput to 46,875 tons, representing a 20% increase over YTD 2024 production.Under the current mine plan, continued mining was not expected to deliver sustainable economic results without requirements for additional development capital. As a result, the Company has elected to temporarily suspend underground mining while it works toward a more efficient and sustainable operating plan. In Q1 2026, the Company entered into discussions with other nearby mining companies where their mill feed could be processed in the Plomosas mill to generate cash flows. During the suspension period, the Company will focus on updating its geological model, as well as optimizing and redesigning the mine plan and development, and will continue exploration underground, as well as surface exploration on the balance of its property, including pursuing a number of mineralized targets including Mina Juarez, Mine Mexico, Alfoncitos and the La Chona Au-Cu target. GOING FORWARDManagement believes the Company is well positioned to capitalize on years of disciplined exploration activity, rigorous cost controls, and operational efficiencies, all against a backdrop of strengthening commodity prices. At the flagship Zacualpan silver-lead-zinc property, higher-grade production combined with continued investment in the exploration and development of recently discovered high-grade vein systems is expected to drive sustained financial performance, as reflected in the Q4 2025 segmented results.Efforts are also ongoing to optimize gold production through a multi-mine feed strategy across the property, while management continues to evaluate strategic options for the historic Capire open-pit silver mine to capitalize on favourable silver market conditions.Underpinned by a strong balance sheet, 2026 is positioned to build on a solid foundation, advancing shareholder value through improved grades, increased production, and continued exploration success.A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the year ended December 31, 2025 will be available on the Company website on April 17, 2026 at www.impactsilver.com/s/ConferenceCalls.asp.The information in this news release should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited condensed consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis, available on the Company website at www.impactsilver.com and on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca.

IMPACT Silver Announces Temporary Suspension of Underground Mining at PlomosasMarch 20, 2026 4:00 PM
NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 20, 2026) - IMPACT Silver Corp (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVFL) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") announces the temporary suspension of underground mining operations at its Plomosas Mine in Chihuahua State, Mexico following a review of recent operating performance and cost structure. The decision reflects management's disciplined approach to capital allocation and its focus on operating within defined economic thresholds. Only the underground mining operations will be temporarily suspended; the Company will continue to maintain the asset in good standing while preserving future operating flexibility. The suspension is also expected to reduce operating costs, preserve capital and improve overall capital efficiency.During the suspension the Company will focus on refining its geological model, optimizing the mine plan and redesigning development to improve grade control, reduce unit costs and enhance predictability, with the objective of supporting a sustainable restart over the coming quarters. The Company is also in advanced-stage discussions with third parties regarding potential operational arrangements on nearby mining projects and is in the process of completing final-stage due diligence. These opportunities are expected to provide near-term cash flow from alternative sources of mineral feed, allowing the Company to continue operating its processing plant and surface infrastructure profitably during the suspension period."This is a measured step to ensure we are enhancing the value of Plomosas over the long term," said Fred Davidson, CEO Of IMPACT Silver. "Our focus now is on improving the quality and consistency of the operation and putting the right plan in place for a more sustainable restart. At the same time, we are advancing opportunities to keep the mill running and generate value while this work is underway."Over the past months, the Company completed a detailed assessment of underground operations, including production rates, grade and cost performance. The review identified that development intensity and variability in grade and tonnage impacted cost efficiency and operational consistency. Under the current mine plan, continued mining was not expected to deliver sustainable economic results without continued development capital. As a result, the Company has elected to temporarily suspend underground mining while it works toward a more efficient and sustainable operating plan.In parallel, the Company will continue advancing exploration both underground and at surface across the approximately 6-kilometre prospective trend. This work is expected to better define higher-quality mineralization and test new exploration targets to support a more robust and better-defined restart. With over $35 million of cash on hand and continued positive cash flow from its Zacualpan operations, the Company is well positioned for this transition. ABOUT IMPACT SILVER IMPACT Silver Corp.

J2 Metals Inc. Announces Option to Acquire the District-Scale Sierra Plata Silver-Antimony Project in Taxco, Mexico
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/278795
December 22, 2025 5:50 AM EST | Source: J2 Metals Inc.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 22, 2025) - J2 Metals Inc. (TSXV: JTWO) ("J2" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a 3-year option with Impact Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) ("Impact"), a Mexican silver producer, to acquire the 2,200-hectare Sierra Plata Project, located in the Zacualpan District near Taxco, Guerrero State, Mexico.
The Sierra Plata Project hosts multiple past-producing silver mines, including El Salto and El Sabino, as well as numerous smaller historic workings. In addition to its silver endowment, the project is considered highly prospective for antimony, a strategic metal of increasing importance in global supply chains. The project is adjacent to mining claims held by Grupo México and Impact, and the Company believes that the historic San Miguel silver mine, a significant multi-level past producer, extends into the Sierra Plata project area. The Taxco region was, for centuries, one of the most important silver-producing districts in the Spanish Empire.
Project Highlights:
District-scale land package in a major historic silver district.
Multiple past-producing silver mines located within the project area.
Numerous productive trends and fault structures identified across the project.
Strong silver and antimony prospectivity.
Access to Impact's local technical expertise and regional drilling infrastructure.
J2 also announces that Simon Clarke has been appointed to the Company's board of directors.
Thomas Lamb, CEO of J2, commented: "We are delighted to have struck this exciting deal with Impact on the Sierra Plata Project, a large and highly prospective land package within a historic silver district. Under Mexican mining regulations, certain concessions require regular investment, and Sierra Plata lies outside Impact's current production focus, creating a compelling opportunity for J2 to advance the project.
"Sierra Plata hosts five historic silver mines and numerous historic workings. The historic, multi-level San Miguel Mine, which ceased production in the 1930s, is understood to extend from Grupo México ground into the Sierra Plata Project. We believe that at current silver prices San Miguel is a strong candidate for a production restart, which would obviously be an exciting catalyst for J2.
"Beyond visiting several historic mines and workings, our team's recent site visit to Sierra Plata confirmed multiple vein systems and structural trends in and around the project. Prior work by Impact indicates that important regional mineralized trends extend across the Sierra Plata land package. With Impact focused on its core producing areas, J2 is well positioned to advance exploration on this important part of the broader district.
"Through this agreement, we expect to benefit from Impact's experienced local technical teams, established infrastructure, and strong community relationships. The region also hosts several nearby processing facilities, including those operated by Impact, which could provide valuable optionality should Sierra Plata advance toward production of silver and antimony."
Mr. Lamb added: "I am also delighted to welcome Simon Clarke to the board. Simon has helped build and lead several precious- and critical-minerals companies from inception to valuations exceeding US$1 billion, and his experience will add significant value as we advance Sierra Plata."

About the Sierra Plata Project
The Sierra Plata Project covers approximately 21.5 square kilometres and is located roughly 10 kilometres northwest of the historic mining city of Taxco, Guerrero State, Mexico. The property hosts five past-producing silver mines, with additional historic mines and workings located immediately adjacent to the project, where lithological trends and structures extend directly into the Sierra Plata land package.
For example, the San Miguel Mine, a three-level underground operation that operated until 1931, is understood to occur partially within the project area. Historic grab samples from San Miguel reportedly assayed up to 414 g/t Ag and 0.447 g/t Au, with mineralization consisting of quartz-hosted argentite with galena and pyrite displaying classic epithermal textures. Argillic alteration is present in the wall rocks, and the historically exploited vein, approximately 40 cm wide, represents an oblique offshoot from a main northwest-southeast-trending structure that crosscuts the Sierra Plata Project.
Adjacent to the Sierra Plata Project there is also a large, fine-grained manto-style stibnite occurrence hosted in sandstone, with mineralization trending directly into Sierra Plata. Previous grab samples from this occurrence reportedly returned over-limit antimony values (>10,000 ppm Sb). Elevated antimony values have already been identified within the Sierra Plata Project along this major structure, providing compelling exploration targets.
Graham Giles, VP Exploration of J2, commented: "The Sierra Plata Project has benefited from extensive prior work completed by Impact Silver, allowing J2 to advance exploration efficiently. Approximately half of the property has been mapped, and multi-element silt geochemistry has been completed across the drainage systems. Satellite surveys have identified widespread argillic alteration, which may represent the upper portions of an epithermal system. This interpretation is supported by elevated mercury, antimony, and arsenic values, suggesting the potential for higher-grade mineralization at depth. In addition to the five historic silver mines within the project, there are numerous historic workings that remain largely untested."
Antimony Strategy
Beyond its silver potential, the Sierra Plata Project provides J2 with strategic exposure to antimony, a metal that has gained increasing attention due to its importance in defence, energy storage, flame retardants, and emerging technologies, as well as recent supply-chain constraints. Antimony production is currently highly concentrated globally, and the metal has been designated as critical by multiple jurisdictions, including the United States and the European Union.
The Sierra Plata Project is located immediately adjacent to, and structurally continuous with, historic antimony mineralization, including a large manto-style stibnite occurrence hosted in sedimentary rocks. Structural trends associated with this mineralization extend directly into the Sierra Plata land package, and elevated antimony values have already been identified within the project area.
J2's exploration strategy will initially focus on silver-dominant targets, while systematically evaluating antimony occurrences as part of an integrated, multi-element exploration approach.

IMPACT Silver Announces Q3 2025 Results with Revenue up 24%
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/276171
November 27, 2025 9:00 AM EST | Source: IMPACT Silver Corp. Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 27, 2025) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company reports revenue of $10.7 million in Q3 2025, representing an 24% increase over revenue of $8.6 million in Q3 2024. The improvement in revenue is due to substantially higher silver prices during the period. Before amortization and depletion, mine operating income1 on a YTD basis was $5.6 million, compared to a loss of $0.8 million in 2024.The net loss in Q3 2025 improved to $0.6 million compared to a net loss of $3.1 million in Q3 2024.
Highlights:
Zacualpan (silver-lead-zinc) revenue was $8.7 million in Q3 2025, up from $6.1 million in Q3 2024 with increased production of 8% on a year over year basis. Revenue on a YTD basis was $23.3 million compared to $16.3 million in the first nine months of 2024.
Plomosas revenue on a YTD basis in 2025 increased to $7.9 million compared to $5.4 million.in the same period of 2024.
At Plomosas in the newly developed Juarez zone, the Company intersected 18.03% ZnEq over 2.6m including 23.70% ZnEq over 0.73m. and in a separate drill hole, 15.14% zinc equivalent over 3.07 metres with a high-grade interval of 24.69% zinc equivalent over 1.47 metres.
On September 17, 2025, the Company closed a $16.0 million bought deal LIFE Private Placement at $0.36 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant which entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.45 for two years.
At September 30, 2025 the Company had cash of $25.2 million and working capital of $27.3 million, up from $7.1 million in cash and $9.0 million in working capital on December 31, 2024.
In Q3 2025, the Company spent $1.3 million on exploration and on a YTD basis, the Company spent $3.2 million. This was split between Zacualpan and Plomosas.
"Our third-quarter results reflect significant progress in enhancing efficiencies at the Zacualpan silver-lead-zinc complex, positioning the Company to capitalize on near-record silver prices. Continued mine optimization and exploration have strengthened our foundation for long-term shareholder value, while production at Plomosas zinc-lead-silver asset improved substantially year over year, it continues to require additional rehabilitation and development to achieve production on a sustainable basis.. Management remains focused on improving grades, advancing operational efficiencies, and maximizing value amid record precious metal prices," said Fred Davidson, President & CEO.
Zacualpan Silver District
During Q3 2025, the Zacualpan-based Guadalupe mill processed 35,437 tonnes of mill feed, up from 32,901 tonnes in Q3 2024. Production was up during the quarter despite one ball mill not operating for approximately 84 days due to a major repair. Seasonal weather continued to cause power outages from the Mexican grid and delayed concentrate shipments to the smelter.
Despite the above, silver production from the Guadalupe complex in Q3 2025 was 150,394 oz, a 5% increase from 142,945 oz in Q3 2024. However, silver sales decreased by 1% over the same period in 2024 owing mostly to previously mentioned weather issues. The average mill head grade for silver in Q3 2025 was down by 2% to 157 g/t from 160 g/t in Q3 2024.
Revenue per tonne sold in Q3 2025 increased by 40% to $253.33 from $180.90 in Q3 2024 on higher commodity prices, while direct costs per tonne increased 23% to $180.69, allowing for margin expansion at the operation.
Plomosas High-Grade Zinc Mine
In the third quarter of 2025, Plomosas produced 9,957 tonnes at an average grade of 8.3% Zn, 4.5% Pb and 30.3 g/t Ag, bringing the YTD mill throughput to 37,704 tonnes, representing a 48% increase over YTD 2024 production of 25,536 tonnes. On a YTD basis, zinc, lead and silver sales increased by 34%, 62% and 16%, respectively.
Regular pauses in production due to mine optimization and development activities have provided management an opportunity to assess and re-evaluate processes. Continued improvements are underway, including mine development, expansion of the tailings pond, and the acquisition and rehabilitation of mobile equipment. In parallel, the mine successfully commissioned a new lead oxide recovery circuit following extensive metallurgical testing. This new system has been performing well, recovering up to 60% of lead oxide material which occurs locally in the mine that was previously unrecoverable by the prior operator.
Outlook
Following a strong quarter of efficient mine development and production at the Zacualpan silver-lead-zinc complex, along with a substantial year-to-date increase in production at Plomosas, the Company believes that it is well positioned to capitalize on record precious metal prices and its significant ongoing investment in exploration. As the Company heads into 2026, management is optimistic that that the Company can target improved grade and rising production levels while maintaining strict cost discipline. Supported by a robust balance sheet, the Company is actively evaluating shareholder value opportunities that leverage its extensive asset base and the significant, largely undeveloped exploration potential across both of its operations.
A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the quarter ended Sept 30, 2025 will be available on the Company website on November 27th, 2025 at http://www.impactsilver.com/s/ConferenceCalls.asp.

IMPACT Silver Announces Q2 2025 Financial Results with 27% Increase in Revenue
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/263759
August 25, 2025 10:39 AM EDT | Source: IMPACT Silver Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 25, 2025) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") announces its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company is pleased to report revenue of $9.8 million for Q2 2025, representing a 27% increase over revenue of $7.7 million in Q2 2024, bringing year-to-date ("YTD") revenue to $20.5 million, which was driven by increased year over year production at Plomosas and strong commodity prices. Mine operating income before amortization and depletion in Q2 2025 was $1.6 million, representing a substantial improvement over the $0.2 million loss in Q2 2024. The loss for the quarter, including $0.5 million in deferred taxes, $1.1 million in exploration and $0.6 million in amortization and depletion, was $2.0 million. At quarter-end, the Company had $10.3 million in cash, $13.3 million in working capital, and no long-term debt. During the quarter, the Company closed a $5.2 million private placement financing, including participation from Trafigura Pte Ltd.
In 2024, the Company revised its accounting policies for exploration, and as a result, the Company expensed $1.1 million in exploration costs in Q2 2025 that previously would have been capitalized.
Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated, "Our ongoing ramp-up at Plomosas, combined with strong commodity prices, has positioned the Company to deliver improved revenue in the second quarter and beyond. After several years of strategic positioning to capitalize on stronger silver prices, our exploration efforts are now bearing fruit, highlighted by the recently discovered Kena vein. This was accomplished while conducting a substantial rehabilitation effort at Plomosas and extensive upgrading and development programs at the Guadalupe mine. We anticipate that the remainder of 2025 and 2026 will further build on these successes, as we maintain our focus on improving grade, advancing development activities, and continuing exploration activity across both of our assets."
Operations Review
Zacualpan Silver-Lead Operation
YTD 2025, the Company processed 69,185 tonnes of mill feed at the Zacualpan/Guadalupe complex, representing a 4% improvement over the 66,797 tonnes process YTD 2024. During the quarter, extreme weather caused power outages from the Mexican grid and washouts along key haul roads, but throughput at Zacualpan has recovered since that event.
Silver production from the Guadalupe complex to June 30, 2025 was 295,131 ounces ("oz"), a 2% increase from 289,443 oz in the first half of 2024, while lead production increased by 15% and gold production improved by 58% to 237 oz from 150 oz in the comparative period in 2024. The average mill head grade for silver of 158 g/t to June 30, 2025 fell by 2% compared to 161 g/t in 2024. Revenue per tonne sold for the first six months in 2025 increased by 38% to $209.84 from $152.09 while direct costs per tonne decreased by 2% on a year over year basis to $138.69 from $141.53 in 2024.
Plomosas Zinc-Lead-Silver Operation
YTD 2025, the mill processed 27,747 tonnes, up 116% from 12,850 tonnes in the first half of 2024. The average grades for YTD 2025 were 8.4% zinc, 4.6% lead, and 30.0 g/t silver. Plomosas sales for the YTD included 1,744 tonnes of lead, 397 tonnes of zinc, and over 17,663 ounces of silver, representing an improvement of 108%, 114% and 49%, respectively, compared to YTD 2024.
After more than two years of rehabilitating mobile equipment, plant facilities, infrastructure, and the underground mine, production has significantly expanded. With the investment of improved equipment and facilities, YTD direct costs fell to $230.14/t in 2025 from $400.70/t in 2024. Development and drilling costs per tonne continue to resist reductions until larger mineral stopes can be established.
In the second quarter, unfavourable ground conditions required further development to access an area where the majority of the higher grade mill feed is located. As a result, production was sourced from two lower grade stopes plus development muck. Notwithstanding, revenue per tonne in the six months ended June 30, 2025 fell by only 1% to $216.04 compared to $217.26 in YTD 2024. The new development through more favourable ground and is expected to access to these higher-grade areas, supporting improved production going forward.
Outlook
Following several years of exploration focused on improving grades at Zacualpan, alongside the rehabilitation and development of Plomosas, the Company is now well positioned to capitalize on higher commodity prices within an enhanced production framework at both sites.
With increasing grades at Zacualpan expected following new discoveries and production at Plomosas, management anticipates that the remainder of 2025 and 2026 will be further supported by improving industry fundamentals, moderated cost inflation, and higher revenue per ton.
Coupled with a strong balance sheet, management plans to maintain active exploration activities and pursue strategic partnerships aimed at further increasing shareholder value over the investment horizon.
A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the quarter ended June 30, 2025 will be available on the Company website on August 26th, 2025 at www.impactsilver.com/s/ConferenceCalls.asp.

Impact Silver Announces Q1 2025 Financial Results with Near-Doubling of Revenue & Positive EBITDA of $1.0 Million
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/253502
May 27, 2025 9:46 AM EDT | Source: IMPACT Silver Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 27, 2025) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTC PINK: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") announces its financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company is pleased to report revenue of $10.7 million for Q1 2025, double the $5.3 million reported in Q1 2024. This significant increase was driven by the commencement of new production at the Plomosas mine and higher commodity prices. EBITDA for Q1 2025 was $1.0 million, marking a strong recovery from the negative $3.6 million in Q1 2024. Net loss for the quarter was $0.1 million, a notable improvement compared to the net loss of $4.4 million in the same period last year. This reflects a substantial year-over-year improvement, as inflationary pressures on costs eased and commodity prices remained strong, supported by a higher aggregate production volumes. At quarter-end, the Company had $6.6 million in cash and no structured debt.
In 2024, the Company has revised its accounting policies for early-stage exploration. This change has been applied retrospectively, resulting in $0.8 million in exploration costs being expensed in Q1 2025 and $1.2 million in Q1 2024. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company announced an equity financing of up to $5.0 million.
Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated, "Following several years of mine rehabilitation and aggressive exploration, along with ongoing efforts to manage inflationary cost pressures, I'm pleased to see our first-quarter results reflect the strength of having two high-performing assets operating at, or near full capacity. The team's continued focus on maintaining positive net operating income profitability has now delivered positive results for the second consecutive quarter. With both operations online and production continuing to grow, we expect 2025 to reflect our commitment to delivering value to shareholders in a strong commodity price environment supported by streamlined and efficient operations."
Q1 2025 Review
Zacualpan Silver-Lead-Zinc Operation
In Q1 2025, the Guadalupe mill processed 35,012 tonnes of mill feed at the Zacualpan/Guadalupe complex, representing a 10% increase from 31,735 tonnes in Q1 2024. This improvement reflects a recovery in throughput following the extreme weather event in September, which had caused power outages from the Mexican grid and washouts along key haul roads.
Silver production at the Guadalupe complex totaled 149,449 ounces in Q1 2025, up 9% from 137,291 ounces in the same period last year. Silver sales also rose by 10% year-over-year. The average silver head grade declined slightly by 2% to 157 grams per tonne (g/t), compared to 161 g/t in Q1 2024.
Revenue per tonne sold increased significantly, rising 50% to $202.37 in Q1 2025 from $134.59 in Q1 2024, while direct costs per tonne remained largely stable, increasing only 3% to $132.32 from $128.12.
Plomosas Zinc-Lead-Silver Operation
In Q1 2025, the mine processed 14,265 tonnes, a significant increase from 3,594 tonnes in Q1 2024. Average grades in Q1 2025 were 11.0% zinc, 7.7% lead, and 48 grams per tonne (g/t) silver. Sales for the quarter totaled 1,008 tonnes of zinc, 213 tonnes of lead, and over 12,087 ounces of silver.
Following nearly 18 months of rehabilitation work-including mobile equipment, processing facilities, infrastructure, and the underground mine-production has expanded substantially.
Initial exploration and development have focused on readily accessible mineralization; however, longer-term initiatives are also progressing to evaluate underexplored areas of the property. These efforts include the reinterpretation of historical Induced Polarization, Magnetic, and Gravitational surveys, as well as a new reconnaissance exploration program. As a result of recent exploration success, the Plomosas team has begun mining the "Mina Juárez" area, where extensions of historical workings by previous operators have been successfully delineated.
The production ramp-up has been both successful and consistent. Average daily throughput increased from approximately 39 tonnes per day (tpd) in Q1 2024 to 159 tpd in Q1 2025. The Company remains on track to achieve the targeted design capacity of 200 tpd later in 2025.
Outlook
Management believes the Company is now well positioned as an established intermediate producer, offering investors exposure to a diversified basket of strategic defensive and critical metals, supported by strong demand fundamentals.
Having successfully transitioned from a period of mine rehabilitation and operational adjustments; the Company has effectively doubled in size in under two years. While silver remains a core focus, increasing zinc and gold production is expected to further expand the Company's market presence and enhance shareholder value.
The Company is currently negotiating new offtake agreements with partners eager to secure long-term supply. Ongoing exploration across both assets is expected to support continued improvements in project economics and operational performance.
A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the quarter ended March 31, 2025 will be available on the Company website on May 28, 2025 at https://impactsilver.com/media/conference-calls/.

IMPACT Silver Announces Full Year 2024 Results With Record Revenue and a Return to Net Profit in Q4
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/250923
May 05, 2025 8:23 PM EDT | Source: IMPACT Silver Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 5, 2025) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") announces its financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company is recognized as an intermediate miner with strength across the value chain including production, growth and exploration potential. In 2024, the Company evolved from being a near pure-play on silver with ongoing production across an extensive mining district at its Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver district in Central Mexico to include now substantial production from the Plomosas high-grade zinc mine in Northern Mexico.
The Company reported record revenue of $31.9 million in FY 2024, an increase of 53% compared to revenues of $20.8 million in FY 2023. This includes a near doubling of quarterly revenue to $10.2 million in Q4 2024, an increase of $4.8 million from Q4 2023, primarily due to the increase in production at Plomosas as well as a 24% increase in gold sales in Q4 2024 compared to Q4 2023 at Zacualpan. Overall, in FY 2024, 72% of the revenue came from the Zacualpan silver-lead-zinc assets however, with increased production from Plomosas coming online later in the year, the revenue split in Q4 2024 was 65% from Zacualpan and 35% from Plomosas. In Q4 2024, mine operating earnings increased by $3.6 million to $1.1 million over Q4 2023 on higher revenue and production.
In 2024, the Company's ramp up of zinc production at Plomosas from minimal levels at the start of the year to 75% of capacity at year-end, combined with robust commodity prices, resulted in a strong end to the year including a net income of $1.6 million in Q4 2024 compared to a net loss of $9.3 million in Q4 2023. At the end of the year, the Company had $7.1 million in cash, $9.0 million in working capital and no long-term debt.
Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated, "2024 was a year of transition for the Company, having culminated in improved financial results after years of integrating and rehabilitating the Plomosas mine, which is now approaching full capacity. IMPACT is now firmly established as a proven silver, zinc and lead producer and a leading intermediate miner in Mexico. Strong commodity prices driven by geopolitical events and evolving monetary policy have improved economics for the industry and are evident in our Q4 2024 results which markedly improved as the year came to close. In 2025, we will focus on improving production, grade, and building on our substantial efficiencies achieved over the last 12 months."
2024 PRODUCTION OVERVIEW - ZACUALPAN PROJECT (SILVER-LEAD-ZINC)
2024 full year silver production was 595,264 ounces (2023 - 637,514 ounces).
Silver sales of 592,844 ounces in 2024 compared to 636,655 ounces in 2023.
Gold sales increased to 135 oz in Q4 2024 from 109 oz in Q4 2023.
Average mill feed grade was 161 grams per tonne (g/t) silver for 2024, which was similar to 160 g/t silver in 2023.
Throughput at the mill was 136,280 tonnes in 2024, down 8% from 147,444 tonnes in 2023.
Production and associated volume sales were down year over year due to extreme weather events impacting production in 2H 2024. These issues have been repaired, and production has ramped up since. Notwithstanding, strong commodity prices resulted in revenue per tonne sold improving by 39% to $189.34 in Q4 2024 from $135.80 in 2023.
Following several years of cost inflation, direct costs per production tonne have stabilized, having decreased by 4% in Q4 2024 to $146.09 from $152.28 in Q4 2023. Management expects costs to stay at these controlled levels in 2025.
PLOMOSAS PROJECT (ZINC-SILVER)
Following the acquisition of the Plomosas high grade zinc-lead-silver mine in April 2023, the Company embarked on an aggressive rehabilitation program to bring the mine back online The Company resumed limited test production at Plomosas in October 2023, and after nearly 18 months of rehabilitating mobile equipment, plant facilities, infrastructure, and the underground mine, production has significantly expanded. By the end of the year, production reached approximately 75% of the mill's design capacity.
In Q4 2024, the Plomosas Mine continued its gradual ramp-up, processing 13,633 tonnes, up from 3,594 tonnes in Q1 2024. Total production for 2024 reached 39,169 tonnes. The average grades for 2024 were 12.2% zinc, 7.3% lead, and 47 g/t silver. Plomosas sales for the year included 2,706 tonnes of zinc, 569 tonnes of lead, and 35,010 ounces of silver.
Historical mining made Plomosas one of the highest grading zinc-silver mines with approximately 2.5MT mined since 1943 grading 15-25% zinc, 2-7% lead and 40-60 g/t silver with low deleterious elements1. The 3,019-hectare property covers extensive carbonate replacement deposit-type ("CRD") zinc-lead-silver mantos (beds) mainly hosted in carbonates (limestones, marbles). The previous operator reported Australian JORC mineral resources2 of 215,000 tonnes grading 13.5% zinc, 6.3% lead and 34.0 g/t silver indicated, and 772,000 tonnes grading 13.1% zinc, 3.0% lead and 19.0 g/t silver inferred, at a 3% zinc cutoff at December 2021.
GOING FORWARD
The Company intends to continue allocating resources toward exploration and development at both of its mining sites. At the Zacualpan project, management is focused on improving grades as the Kena discovery continues to expand (see news release from February 11, 2025). Efforts are also underway to further optimize silver and gold production considering improved commodity prices. Additionally, the Company is evaluating various strategic options for the Capire open-pit silver mine to capitalize on strong silver market conditions.
At the Plomosas mine, management anticipates that 2025 will be a year of optimal production, supported by substantial exploration activity across the largely unexplored property. Strong zinc prices, coupled with operational efficiencies at the processing level, have enabled Plomosas to achieve key financial and operational milestones-progress that the Company aims to build upon.
Following several years of cost inflation and unfavorable foreign currency impacts, the Company believes that most cost pressures are now under control. This provides a foundation for renewed focus on delivering shareholder value through improved grades, increased production, and continued exploration success.
A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the year ended December 31, 2024 will be available on the Company website on May 7th, 2025 at www.impactsilver.com/s/ConferenceCalls.asp.

IMPACT Silver Announces Q2 2024 Results with Strong Revenue Growth of 40% on Increasing Plomosas Production
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/220576
August 20, 2024 1:39 PM EDT | Source: IMPACT Silver Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 20, 2024) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") announces its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Overall revenue in Q2 2024 was $7.7 million, representing a significant 40% increase over Q2 2023 revenue of $5.5 million. Revenue in Q2 2024 includes $1.8 million from the Plomosas high-grade zinc mine up from $1.0 million in Q1 2024. The Plomosas high-grade zinc mine (acquired in April 2023) was brought online in late 2023 and therefore, year-over-year comparisons do not include any revenue or operating costs recorded in Q2 2023. Meanwhile, revenue at the Zacualpan silver-lead-zinc project increased to $5.9 million in Q2 2024 from $5.4 in Q2 2023 despite lower production on a year-over-year basis, owing mostly to stronger silver prices.
The mine operating loss (before amortization and depletion) in Q2 2024 was $0.2 million compared to income of $0.9 million Q2 2023 which did not include any start-up and operating costs from Plomosas. The Company continued to experience cost pressures at its mine sites, certain one-time costs associated with bringing the Plomosas mine online, and the negative effects of a strong Mexican Peso. The net loss in Q2 2024 was $2.6 million compared to a net loss of $0.9 million in Q2 2023.
Q2 2024 Consolidated Financial Overview
Revenue in Q2 2024 was $7.7 million, up from $5.5 million in Q2 2023.
Mine operating loss before amortization and depletion[1] in Q2 2024 was $0.22 million, compared to income of $0.9 million in Q2 2023.
The net loss in Q2 2024 was $2.6 million after foreign exchange expense and deferred income taxes totalling $0.6 million compared to net loss of $0.9 million in Q2 2023.
After investing $1.6 million in exploration expenditures and mining assets during the quarter, the cash position remained strong at quarter-end with $9.9 million and working capital of $8.8 million.
During the quarter, the Company closed a non-brokered "LIFE" and private placement of $8.6 million.
The Company has no long-term debt.
Q2 2024 Zacualpan Mine Production Overview
Mill throughput in Q2 2024 was 35,062 tonnes compared to 35,753 tonnes in Q2 2023.
Silver production during the period decreased by 2% to 152,152 oz compared to 155,744 oz in Q2 2023 while lead and gold production decreased on a year-over-year basis by 36% and 69%, respectively.
Revenue per tonne sold was $168.17 in Q2 2024, representing an increase of 8% compared to $155.67 in the same period of 2023.
Direct costs per production tonne were $153.26 in Q2 2024, representing an increase of 17% over Q2 2023 costs of $130.67 per tonne. Much of this increase is due to foreign exchange, a retroactive union labour settlement including associated bonuses, with the balance coming from inflation-related pressures in Mexico. On a Mexican Peso basis, costs for the first six months of 2024 were the same as the first six months of 2023.
Zacualpan Silver District Review
The Company's overall average mill head grade of 161 g/t during the period was down 1% year-over-year from 163 g/t in Q2 2023. Gold production during the period was temporarily reduced compared to the same period in 2023 as the Company adjusted mining efficiencies and improved recoveries from its gold-rich Alacran mine. The Company is continuing to focus on exploration and development of the mining district in Q2 2024, having drilled 5,243 meters over the last six months.
Stronger metal prices on a year-over-year basis are due to increased confidence of pending looser monetary policy in 2024 as well as geopolitical uncertainties emanating from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. A flight to safety has increased the flow of funds into commodities in general, and the mining sector in particular as investors seek protection from ongoing inflationary pressures. Notwithstanding, ongoing cost inflation continues to impact costs throughout the supply chain and labour network, despite a softening of these trends since late 2023. Moreover, the overall negative effect of a strong Mexican Peso continues to hamper the Company's profit margins. The rate of cost increases at Zacualpan may start to subside further in 2H 2024 as new labour contracts have provided some cost certainty while the Company works to improve throughput grade.
Q2 2024 Plomosas Mine Production Overview
The Plomosas high-grade zinc mine (acquired in April 2023) was brought online in late 2023 and production continues to ramp up
Mill throughput in Q2 2024 was 9,256 tonnes, up 157% from 3,594 tonnes in Q1 2024.
Since the start of 2024, the average zinc grade was 14%, lead was 8.7% and silver was 43.7 g/t.
Over the last six months, the Company drilled 14,377 meters to support ongoing and future production.
Production at the start of Q2 2024 was approximately 100 tpd (tonnes per day), compared to no production in the same period last year.
Costs at Plomosas stabilized over the first six months of 2024 despite ongoing costs related to site improvements and mine development, resulting in a $0.2 million cost decrease in Q2 2024 compared to Q1 2024.
Plomosas High-Grade Zinc Mine Review
Following the acquisition of the Plomosas high grade zinc (lead-silver) mine in April 2023, the Company was focused on rehabilitating the mine, plant and equipment, and commenced limited start-up operations in late 2023 while initiating an extensive exploration program. During Q2 2024, the Company accelerated the production ramp-up at Plomosas and expects continued growth in production levels, reaching 150-170 tpd by the end of Q3 2024 and eventually design capacity levels by late 2024/early 2025 of 225 tpd.
This production ramp up is reflected in the current financial results and should continue to play a larger role over the balance of 2024 and into 2025. As the operation reaches design capacity, investors should anticipate higher overall revenue from the project and an ongoing decrease in per tonne operating costs, as was the case in Q2 2024 compared to Q1 2024.
Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated, "During the second quarter, our team at Plomosas successfully met its objective of increasing production throughput following a substantive but continuing mine rehabilitation program. As we approach design capacity levels over the coming quarters, we expect to expand the mine's development and increase high-grade production activity at site. Meanwhile, our silver operations at Zacualpan are adapting to higher cost profiles by improving efficiencies in terms of grade and recoveries, which we expect to bear fruit in 2025. Our new discovery of the Keno vein is exciting and potentially the start of a trend of new higher grade production results beginning later this year."
Outlook - Grade Improvement at Zacualpan & Production Increasing at Plomosas
The Company's strong balance sheet provides it with a solid footing to continue to improve efficiencies at the Zacualpan silver-lead-zinc operation while allowing for ongoing production increases at the Plomosas high-grade zinc mine.
Through year-end 2024, management expects the production mix at Zacualpan to reflect higher grade mine development on the back of recently encouraging exploration results. The operation can be nimble as it seeks higher grade production mixes from its various legacy mines and new discoveries. Meanwhile at Plomosas, exploration activity is ongoing with up to two drill rigs working to develop the resource. These efforts should lead to ongoing improvement in Company-wide overall revenues while management expects cost pressures to continue to abate heading into 2025.
The Company's recent exploration success at Zacualpan and production increases at Plomosas reflects its position as one of just a handful of intermediate miners offering investors exposure to three distinct verticals within the mining sector, including exploration, production, and overall growth.
A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the quarter ended June 30, 2024 will be available on the Company website on August 21st, 2024 at https://impactsilver.com/media/conference-calls/.

(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."

IMPACT Silver Announces Q3 2023 Results with Revenue Up 26% and Positive Operating Income
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/188228
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.

IMPACT Silver Announces Production Restart at the Recently Acquired Plomosas High-Grade Zinc Mine
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/184768
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.

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 https://impactsilver.com/media/conference-calls/.

IMPACT Silver Provides Update on the Recently Acquired Plomosas High-Grade Zinc Mine
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/170691
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 20, 2023) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a corporate update on the Company's recently acquired, high-grade Plomosas zinc-lead-silver mine located in Chihuahua State, Mexico.
Following the completion of the Plomosas mine acquisition (see IMPACT news release dated April 3rd 2023), the Company immediately commenced an extensive program at site to revitalize and upgrade operations and equipment, and bring on new technical and supervisory staff. Planned upgrades will allow for an expansion of production and an aggressive exploration program has been prepared to potentially grow the size of the existing resource.
Mine, Mill and Plant:
The Company expects to initially restart production in 2H/2023 at levels that allow management to consider further modifications and efficiencies, where required. More meaningful production levels approaching design capacity as well as associated revenue is expected in 1H/2024.
Mine planning and rehabilitation have been ongoing while the Company replaces and repairs underground equipment including scooptrams and underground trucks.
The Company is in the process of replacing mill foundations while upgrading the ball mill, conveyor and crushing systems, and flotation cells. Design capacity of the mill is 150 tpd with plans to expand.
Plans are in place to expand the existing tailings pond and concurrently, a new larger tailings pond is in the design and permitting stages. These efforts will provide some additional capacity to re-establish and grow output at the mill in the near-term, while providing the Company with substantial tailings capacity for future production increases.
Substantial cost saving options are potentially available to the Company as management considers alternate electric power options as well as various changes in mining methods and mineral processing technologies.
Exploration:
The Company is preparing stations for an underground drill program in the mine and drilling permits have been submitted for the upcoming surface program. One Company-owned surface drill rig has arrived on site, and a second (underground) rig is currently being manufactured and is expected to be delivered mid-summer.
In addition to the high-grade resource already established at Plomosas, substantial exploration potential exists across the 6km long structure on the property with just 600m having been explored to date. The current JORC mineral resource1 by the previous operator totals 215,000 tonnes grading 13.5% zinc, 6.3% lead and 34.0 g/t silver (indicated), and 772,000 tonnes grading 13.1% zinc, 3.0% lead and 19.0 g/t silver (inferred), at a 3% zinc cut-off at December 2021.
In recent years, a significant amount of the mill feed came from outside the known resource, providing encouragement that exploration drilling may substantially increase the Plomosas' resource over time.
The Company expects to deliver drill results later on in 2023 and early 2024 from its maiden exploration programs.
Other exploration targets on the property include untested intrusion-related gold-copper targets with historical high-grade grab samples from surface prospecting.

IMPACT Silver Announces Q1 2023 Results Including Improved Revenue of $5.1 Million from Increased Mill Throughput and Gold Production
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/167127
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 23, 2023) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTC Pink: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") announces its financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 from its Royal Mines of Zacualpan mine operations in central Mexico. The Company reports revenue of $5.1 million in Q1 2023, representing a 10.4% improvement over revenue of $4.6 million in Q1 2022. Mine operating earnings (before amortization and depletion) in Q1 2023 was $0.6 million. The net loss during the period was $0.3 million compared to a net loss of $0.06 million in the same period of 2022.
While the average silver grade in Q1 2023 was flat on a year-over-year basis at 162 g/t, a combination of higher overall production levels and additional gold production helped contribute to a 7% increase in revenue per tonne sold of $126.96 in the period compared to $118.34 in the same period of 2022.
Economic headwinds and global growth concerns have helped silver prices benefit recently from a flight to safety standpoint and as a hedge against inflation, however there is a growing consensus that the world's leading economies may escape a deep recession, thereby improving the industrial outlook for silver as well. The combination of all these factors have provided cautious optimism vis-à-vis silver pricing going forward. However, inflation across the value chain remains rampant, and while there is some indication that this trend is slowing, the quarterly direct costs per tonne increased to $111.79 in Q1 2023 compared to $90.01 in Q1 2022. Of this increase, 6% was due to inflation in Mexico and a further 18% was due to foreign exchange. Costs may continue to increase in 2023, albeit at a potentially slower rate.
During the quarter, the Company continued to focus on exploration and development of its mining district and spent $0.8 million on these programs. Working capital at March 31, 2023 was strong at $15.7 million while the Company continues to remain well funded with a cash position of $14.3 million at March 31, 2023. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company closed an oversubscribed, non-brokered private placement for an additional $9.0 million. The Company has no long-term debt.
Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated, "During the first quarter, we continued to deal with industry-wide inflation pressures within the supply chain as well as through our labour and support networks. Notwithstanding, our operations ran smoothly, and our team executed on improving production levels while also processing higher grade material which we expect will continue going forward. Our well-capitalized balance sheet will allow us to invest across the board, including in exploration, mine development and into our new high-grade Plomosas zinc-lead-silver mine, which we expect could potentially add significantly to revenue and earnings once up and running later this year and into 2024."
IMPACT continues to be one of the purest intermediate silver miners with more than 90%+ of Company revenue coming from silver. In the medium term, the Company's recent Plomosas acquisition should begin to provide it with commodity diversification, primarily from zinc and lead, as well as the potential for gold production down the road.
Q1 2023 Financial Overview
Revenue in Q1 2023 was $5.1 million, up from $4.6 million in Q1 2022 due to higher production levels and gold production.
Mine operating earnings before amortization and depletion in Q1 2023 was $0.6 million, compared to $1.1 million in Q1 2022.
Cash used in operations for the quarter was $0.6 million compared to $0.9 million in Q1 2022.
The net loss in Q1 2023 was $0.3 million compared to net loss of $0.06 million in Q1 2022.
After investing $0.8 million in exploration expenditures and mining assets during the quarter, the cash position remained strong at quarter-end with $14.3 million with working capital of $15.7 million.
Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company closed an oversubscribed, non-brokered private placement for an additional $9.0 million.
The Company has no long-term debt.
Q1 2023 Production Overview
Mill throughput in Q1 2023 was 38,688 tonnes compared to 36,143 tonnes in Q1 2022.
Silver production during the period increased by 10% to 167,050 oz compared to 151,645 oz in Q1 2022 while contributions from lead and gold saw production increases on a year-over-year basis of 19% and 154%, respectively.
Revenue per tonne sold was $126.96 in Q1 2023, representing an increase of 7% over the same period in 2022.
Direct costs per production tonne were $111.79 in Q1 2023, representing an increase of 24% over Q1 2022 costs of $90.01 per tonne. Most of this increase (18%) is due to foreign exchange, with the balance coming from inflation-related pressures in Mexico.
Exploration Review
Management has been running a focused drill program with success at the San Ramon silver vein system allowing for higher-grade silver feed while the Lipton silver vein systems at the Guadalupe Mine could provide for even further grade improvement at the processing level. The benefits of this exploration success are apparent in the most recent quarter. Notably, the Alacran mine appears to contain levels of gold mineralisation that could help improve the overall grade for the operation as the exploration team works through older workings at that location.
During the quarter, IMPACT announced greenfield drilling results from the San Antonio Zinc vein system including 2.30% Zn over 3.85 metres as well as 1.59 g/t Au and 1.04% Zn over 3.5 metres (see IMPACT news release dated January 4, 2023 for details).
The Company also drilled at the Aurora 2 zone, located 1.3 km northeast of the Capire processing plant and 16 km south of IMPACT's Guadalupe operations. Previous drilling at Aurora 2 included intersections of 625 g/t Ag over 1.88 metres and 420 g/t Ag over 2.50 metres (see IMPACT news release dated December 9, 2013). Recent step-out drilling included 128 g/t silver, 0.42 g/t gold, 0.76% lead and 1.84% zinc over 7.5 metres (see IMPACT news release dated February 16, 2023 for details). These results extend the Aurora 2 zone to the west. The zone has historically been grid drilled with 72 drill holes and remains open to the west and northeast.
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 stands to benefit from several positive trends playing out within the Company and across the industry. Internally, the Company's production at its mill in Zacualpan is operating efficiently while grade is improving thanks to added gold production from the Alacran Mine. This trend is expected to continue throughout 2023 and into 2024.
Growth at Plomosas
Subsequent to the end of Q1 2023, the Company closed on the acquisition of a third mining district known as Plomosas. Plomosas is a high-grade zinc mine located in northern Mexico, just 150 km north of the city of Chihuahua. In April, the Company stopped milling operations temporarily to complete certain necessary upgrades with the objective of restarting production by late summer. Meanwhile, management sees considerable upside from exploration as it begins planned drilling at Plomosas in the coming weeks. The addition of production from Plomosas should impact the Company's financial profile in 2H 2023 and increase into 2024 as improvements are made to the mill and production is brought up to initial capacity levels.
A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the quarter ended March 31, 2023 will be available on the Company website on May 24, 2023 at www.impactsilver.com/media/conference-calls.

IMPACT Silver Signs Binding Conditional Agreement to Purchase Plomosas Zinc-Lead-Silver Mine in Mexico
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/154322
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 9, 2023) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTC Pink: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has signed a Share Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Sale Agreement") with Consolidated Zinc Limited (ASX: CZL) ("CZL") of Australia dated February 9, 2023 to purchase all of the outstanding shares of its subsidiary, Minera Latin America Zinc S.A.P.I de C.V. ("MLAZ"), which holds a 100% interest in the Plomosas zinc-lead-silver mine in the state of Chihuahua, northern Mexico.
HIGHLIGHTS
The acquisition will expand IMPACT's production profile from one to two producing operations – the Plomosas zinc-lead-silver district in northern Mexico and the Royal Mines of Zacualpan silver-lead-zinc(-gold) district in central Mexico.
The purchase price is US$6 million consisting of a minimum US$3 million cash and the balance in IMPACT shares plus a 12% net profit interest royalty to CZL. Completion of the transaction is anticipated on or before April 7, 2023.
CZL reported Plomosas JORC mineral resources1 of 215,000 tonnes grading 13.5% zinc, 6.3% lead and 34.0 g/t silver indicated, and 772,000 tonnes grading 13.1% zinc, 3.0% lead and 19.0 g/t silver inferred, at a 3% zinc cutoff at December 2021. IMPACT plans a drill program in 2023 to infill and test extensions of the known mineralization.
Plomosas is host to high grade mineralization. Historical mining is in the global upper quartile for zinc grade with approximately 2.5MT mined since 1943 grading 15-25% zinc, 2-7% lead and 40-60 g/t silver with low deleterious elements2.
CZL has been mining Plomosas since September 2018 except for some temporary short suspensions during Christmas. IMPACT plans to upgrade the mill and mine with the aim to continue mining followed by plans for expanding operations.
IMPACT's highly skilled operations team has 17 years of underground mining and flotation milling experience at Zacualpan which it will bring to advance the Plomosas operations.
Exploration potential at Plomosas is exceptional with only 600m of the 6 kilometre long structure assessed plus other exploration targets on the 3,019 hectare property including untested copper-gold targets. Regionally, Plomosas lies in the same mineral belt as some of the largest silver-lead-zinc carbonate replacement deposits ("CRD") in the world2.
CEO STATEMENT
Chairman and CEO Frederick Davidson commented, "We are truly pleased to acquire a second mining district after evaluating hundreds of projects over the years in an effort to grow IMPACT. Currently Plomosas is a relatively small mining operation on a large mineral system. Our goal is to upgrade and expand operations to optimize production from the large mineral system. Our Mexican technical team is exceptionally skilled in building and efficiently operating mines like this and we will bring our 17 years of underground operating experience at the Royal Mines of Zacualpan to hone and grow the Plomosas operations. The technical and management overlap with similarity of asset and operations provides great synergy for the transaction and represents near term growth of our production levels and value to shareholders."
PLOMOSAS PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Plomosas project is located 110 km by road from Chihuahua City, the state capital, which is a two-hour flight from Dallas, Texas, USA. The district was discovered in 1832 and has seen small scale mining since 1868. Historical mining is in the global upper quartile for zinc grade with approximately 2.5MT mined since 1943 grading 15-25% zinc, 2-7% lead and 40-60 g/t silver with low deleterious elements2.
The mine and mill are fully permitted, have an offtake smelter contract2 and have been in production by CZL since September 2018 except for some temporary short suspensions during Christmas. In 2021 CZL processed 31,695 tonnes producing 2,442 tonnes of zinc concentrate and 599 tonnes of lead concentrate. Mine access is by 3 portals reaching a depth of 250m below surface and an old shaft that can be refurbished2. Mineral is processed in a 200 tonne per day conventional flotation mill (recently operating under capacity) with plans to expand. IMPACT plans to upgrade the mill and mine with the aim to continue mining in the near term followed by plans for expanding operations. The Plomosas Property is subject to an underlying 1% Net Smelter Royalty.
The 3,019 hectare property covers extensive carbonate replacement deposit-type ("CRD") zinc-lead-silver mantos (beds) mainly hosted in carbonates (limestones, marbles). CZL reported Australian JORC mineral resources1 of 215,000 tonnes grading 13.5% zinc, 6.3% lead and 34.0 g/t silver indicated, and 772,000 tonnes grading 13.1% zinc, 3.0% lead and 19.0 g/t silver inferred, at a 3% zinc cutoff at December 2021. IMPACT plans a drill program in 2023 to infill and test extensions of the known mineralization.
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 deposits in the world (see Map 1)2. The historic Santa Eulalia Mine is the world's largest historic CRD deposit and is located 100km west of Plomosas (see Map 1). Historic production at Santa Eulalia was over 450Moz silver from 51MT averaging 350 g/t silver, 8.2% lead and 7.8% zinc and mined over 300 years. Reference to this nearby project is for information purposes only and there are no assurances that Plomosas will achieve similar results.
TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION
The material terms of the transaction are as follows.
IMPACT will pay the following consideration to CZL for a 100% interest in MLAZ, the Mexican subsidiary of CZL that owns a 100% interest in the Plomosas Project:
US$6 million consisting of a minimum US$3 million cash and the balance in IMPACT common shares (the "IMPACT Shares"). Closing adjustments based on working capital at closing are provided in the Sale Agreement;
Contractual restrictions on transfer will be applied to 75% of the IMPACT Shares, such that IMPACT Shares will be released from restriction in three equal tranches of 25% every 6 months over 18 months from closing. 25% of the IMPACT Shares will be immediately held by CZL (subject to a statutory 4 month hold period from the date of issuance of the IMPACT Shares); and
a 12% net profit interest ("NPI") royalty on production from the Plomosas project to CZL.
It is anticipated that upon closing and assuming US$3 million payment made in IMPACT Shares, CZL will hold approximately 6% of the issued capital in IMPACT. The deemed per share price will be determined in accordance with the Sale Agreement and will be the 20 day VWAP before the date of the Sale Agreement or an equivalent price to an IMPACT financing, should one be conducted before closing.
Completion of the Sale Agreement is subject to certain industry standard closing conditions for a transaction of this kind (the "Conditions") being satisfied or waived by March 31, 2023. Completion is expected to occur within 7 days of the Conditions being satisfied or waived. Conditions include, among others, TSX Venture Exchange approval of the purchase of MLAZ and the issuance of IMPACT Shares as partial consideration.
IMPACT has cash on hand to close the Sale Agreement, but may conduct a financing in the near-term for additional working capital.
