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
5
• 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.

• 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.
