MANAGEMENT

IMPACT Silver is a junior silver producer with low cost operations and a growing portfolio of silver mines in south-central Mexico.

A cornerstone of IMPACT’s success is systematic exploration leading to rapid mine development to increase mill throughput and generate near-term cash flow.

Focused on creating value by growth primarily through earnings, in the pursuit of building a multimillion ounce precious metals producer.

District Location Map

• Nearly 100% owned and operated 623 km² (62,300 ha) mineral exploration package in south-central Mexico

Page 6: 2013 IMPACT Silver Corporate Presentation

• The Royal Mines of Zacualpan is one of the oldest mining districts in the Americas, with over 485 years of recorded mining history.

• IMPACT bought the Zacualpan assets in 2006 and consolidated ownership of the district for the first time in its history.

• IMPACT’s exploration work has catalogued over 3,000 old mine and mill workings, forming an invaluable basis for modern and effective exploration.
