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.

Page 6: 20130524 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 as of December 31, 2012, forming an invaluable basis for modern and effective exploration.

0’s

• Revenue and production was lower in 2012 due to decreasing silver grades at depth within the Chivo Mine and a lower average spot silver price compared to 2011.

• During 2013, production is expected to increase as a result of higher silver grades and increased production from the new Cuchara-Oscar and Capire Mines.
