SILVER PRODUCTION

EXTENSIVE EXPLORATION

UPSIDE

PRUDENT MANAGEMENT

IMPACT Silver has been a steady silver producer since 2006 with low cost operations on one large property in central Mexico.

2014 saw initial mining of new gold zones and metallurgical testing of copper zones in the Carlos Pacheco area, with the aim to diversify Company metal production

In response to lower silver prices, mining is successfully transitioning to new higher grade silver mines at Cuchara and Mirasol

Exploration continues to evaluate some of the 3,500+ historic mine workings in the district indicative of extensive silver and gold mineralizing systems

Management is focused on building value by efficient use of funds and technical assets, in pursuit of building a multimillion ounce precious metal producer

Property Description

Page 6: Presentation

• The Royal Mines of Zacualpan is one of the oldest mining districts in the Americas, with nearly 500 years of recorded mining history

• IMPACT’s large land package has a long history of silver mining and is now entering a new era with the addition of gold production on the same property

• IMPACT’s exploration work has catalogued over 3,500 old mine and mill workings, indicating large exploration potential and forming an invaluable database for modern and

effective exploration.
