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.

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

• Two contiguous mineral districts with mining activities dating back to the 1500s.

• A three hour drive southwest from Mexico City, with paved road access to the gate of IMPACT’s Guadalupe Production Center.

• Excellent infrastructure, with a modern power grid, ample water supply and a skilled, 99% Mexican workforce.

• Many other significant mining operations within close proximity.

5

Property Location in Mexico

• 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 623 km² land package consists of two large mineral districts and one subdistrict: The Zacualpan District and the Capire-Mamatla District, and the Valle de Oro subdistrict.

• IMPACT’s exploration work has catalogued over 3,500 old mine and mill workings, forming an invaluable basis for modern and effective

exploration.

Mine and Production Center Location Map

• The 500-tpd Guadalupe Production Center is located within the Zacualpan District.

• The Guadalupe Production Center receives ore from three underground silver mines located within close proximity:

• San Ramon Mine • Noche Buena Mine • Cuchara-Oscar Mine

• The 200-tpd Capire Production Centre is located

within the Capire-Mamatla District.

• The Capire Production Center commenced pilot production in March 2013, with test operations continuing with mineral feed from the adjacent open-pit Capire Mine.

Long Term Goal and Mine Development Process

To build a profitable, mid-tier, multimillion ounce precious metals producing company with multiple

mines feeding multiple processing centres.
