Transcript of IMPACT Corporate Presentation
Forward-Looking Statements: This presentation may contain certain “forward-looking” statements and information relating to IMPACT that are based on the beliefs of
IMPACT management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to IMPACT management. Such statements reflect the current risks, uncertainties
and assumptions related to certain factors including but not limited to, exploration and development risks, expenditure and financing requirements, title matters, operating
hazards, metal prices, political and economic factors, competitive factors, general economic conditions, relationships with vendors and strategic partners, governmental
regulation and supervision, seasonality, technological change, industry practices, and one-time events. Should any one or more risks or uncertainties materialize or change, or
should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and forward-looking statements may vary materially from those described herein. IMPACT does not
assume the obligation to update any forward-looking statement. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following:
general economic conditions; changes in financial markets; the impact of exchange rates; political conditions and developments in countries in which the Company operates;
changes in the supply, demand and pricing of the metal commodities which the Company mines or hopes to find and successfully mine; changes in regulatory requirements
impacting the Company’s operations; the ability to properly and efficiently staff the Company’s operations; the sufficiency of current working capital and the estimated cost
and availability of funding for the continued exploration and development of the Company’s exploration properties. This list is not exhaustive and these and other factors
should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, no
assurance can be given as to any such future results, levels of activity or achievements and neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy
and completeness of these forward-looking statements.
Cautionary Statement: The Company’s decision to place a mine into production, expand a mine, make other production related decisions or otherwise carry out mining and
processing operations, is largely based on internal non-public Company data and reports based on exploration, development and mining work by the Company’s geologists
and engineers. The results of this work are evident in the discovery and building of multiple mines for the Company, and in the track record of mineral production and
financial returns of the Company since 2006. Under NI43-101 the Company is required to disclose that it has not based its production decisions on NI43-101-compliant
mineral resource or reserve estimates, preliminary economic assessments or feasibility studies, and historically such projects have increased uncertainty and risk of failure.
NI43-101 Qualified Person: George Gorzynski, P. Eng., Vice President, Exploration and a Qualified Person under the meaning of Canadian National Instrument 43-101, is
responsible for the technical information in this presentation.

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 test 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 San Ramon and Mirasol
Exploration continues to evaluate some of the 4,000+ 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 this time of low metal prices, in pursuit of building a multimillion ounce precious metal producer

Property Description
• 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 4,000 old mine workings and 42 old mills, indicating extensive historical mining, large exploration potential and forming an invaluable
database for modern and effective exploration.

• Recent mining is averaging 281g/t Silver (recovered) from Levels 18 and 19
• The Zone remains open for expansion to the south and to depth with additional drilling in
progress
