CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Except for historical information, this presentation may contain certain “forward-looking” statements and information relating to

IMPACT that are based on the beliefs of IMPACT management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available

to IMPACT management. Such statements reflect the current risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to certain factors including

but not limited to, without limitations, exploration and development risks, expenditure and financing requirements, title matters, operating

hazards, metal prices, political and economic factors, competitive factors, general economic conditions, relationships with vendors and

strategic partners, governmental regulation and supervision, seasonality, technological change, industry practices, and one-time events.

Should any one or more risks or uncertainties materialize or change, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual

update any forward-looking statement.

The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic

conditions; changes in financial markets; the impact of exchange rates; political conditions and developments in countries in which

the Company operates; changes in the supply, demand and pricing of the metal commodities which the Company mines or hopes

to find and successfully mine; changes in regulatory requirements impacting the Company’s operations; the ability to properly and

efficiently staff the Company’s operations; the sufficiency of current working capital and the estimated cost and availability of funding

for the continued exploration and development of the Company’s exploration properties.

This list is not exhaustive and these and other factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance

on the Company’s forward-looking statements. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, no assurance can be given as to any such

effective exploration

• IMPACT bought the Zacualpan

assets in 2006 and then

consolidated ownership of the

entire district for the first time

in its history

One of 30 historic processing plants found in the

district attesting to a long history of silver mining

• Strong organic growth marked by rapid mine development with first drill hole to

mine production in less than 24 months

• Currently building two mines: underground Oscar mine and open-pit Capire mine

• 2011 direct cost per tonne sold averaged $70 per tonne or $9 per ounce of silver net

of lead and zinc credits

*Silver production was marginally down 9% in 2010 because the Company reduced the cut-off grade of the ore mined due to higher silver prices

sq km (77 sq miles)

• Capire open-pit VMS deposit will

be the first mine in the district

• Initial production from 200 tpd

Capire Mine & Processing Plant, September 2012

Page 11: 20120912 ipt presentation

NEW MINE DEVELOPMENT #1

CAPIRE PRODUCTION CENTER

• Capire mine represents a new production center in a new

mining district

• Strategy to bring Capire to full-scale production:

o 2012: Construction of 200-tpd pilot plant and 5,000 m drill program

o 2013 & 2014: 200 tpd pilot plant production (~200,000 oz silver

annually) to optimize operating parameters for expansion plans

o 2015: Construction of full scale plant (800-1,500 tpd) with goal to

produce over 1M oz silver annually

OSCAR MINE

OLD CUCHARA MINE

OSCAR MINE

SANTA LUCIA ZONE

• Oscar is a silver vein

corridor on the southern

extension of the past-

producing Cuchara Mine

• The high grade Oscar-Santa

Lucia Zones are scheduled

for production in late 2012 to

replace the Chivo mine

where grades are dropping

with depth

• Pre-existing Cuchara mine

mining infrastructure will

contribute to low capital

costs and rapid mine

development at Oscar (<1yr)

Page 14: 20120912 ipt presentation

NEW MINE DEVELOPMENT #2

OSCAR MINE

• Oscar and Santa Lucia host high grade veins as found in the following drill holes:

• Veins in the Royal Mines of

Zacualpan District tend to

be silver-rich near the top

(commonly 1,000+ g/t) with

increasing lead and zinc

and decreasing silver

toward the bottom

• New discoveries indicate

that significant gold and

copper may lie at depth

• Capire zone is a different

type of mineralization: a

volcanogenic massive

sulfide (“VMS”) deposit

VALLE DE ORO

GOLD POTENTIAL AT DEPTH

• First gold-copper zone found by company prospectors in a canyon below the

known silver veins

• Initial drill results on two zones returned high gold values (see tables below)

• These initial drill results indicate potential gold horizons lying at depths of

300 m (1,000 ft) below the silver district

• Drilling will test gold targets at depth on other silver veins

FUTURE PLANS AND GOALS

2012

• 2012 is a transition year as IMPACT builds two new mines, laying the

foundation for the next phase of profitable silver production growth

• Continue aggressive exploration to accelerate organic growth at the

Royal Mines of Zacualpan

• With over $23 million of unallocated cash and consistent production

earnings, pursue accretive merger and acquisition opportunities of

near term production or cash-strapped precious metals companies

worldwide

2013 to 2015

• Double silver production with expansion of Capire Production Center

• Continue exploration and development of both silver zones and deep

gold zones within the gold-rich Valle de Oro zone 21

Page 23: 20120912 ipt presentation

WHY IMPACT SILVER?

• Five years of increasing

revenues and earnings

• Strong cash position & zero

debt

• Expanding silver production

with two new mines

commencing production within

the next five months

• Aggressive exploration for gold

and silver in the Valle de Oro

• Tight share structure and small

market cap for a profitable

producer

• Proven history of profitable

mining success
