Royal Mines of Zacualpan – Prolific Mining History

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

IMPACT’s intensive exploration work has catalogued over 3,000 old mine workings in the GIS database, forming an invaluable basis for modern and effective exploration

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

One of 42 historic processing plants found in the

district attesting to a long history of silver mining

Page 10: Impact Silver Corporate Presentation

One Land Package, Two Production Centres

The Guadalupe Processing Plant is rated at 500 tpd and has been the main production centre since 2006.

Fed by three underground silver mines: the San Ramon, Noche Buena, Cuchara-Oscar

Guadalupe Production Centre

.

The Capire pilot plant is rated at 200 tpd with the potential to produce 200,000 ounces of silver per year, with plans for future expansion

Capire Mine is an open-pit VMS deposit with NI43-101 measured and indicated resources of 7.2M oz Ag and 30,446 oz Au (January, 2011)

One Land Package, Multiple Mines

San Ramon Mine – Restarted production in early 2008. Currently 51% of total production. Large veins and stockworks of high grade epithermal mineralization.

Noche Buena Mine – Commenced production in 2010. Currently 33% of total

production. Large epithermal veins located in the Valle de Oro area.

Cuchara-Oscar Mine – Corridor of many wide and high-grade silver veins linking

the legacy Cuchara Mine and the Santa Lucia zone. Commenced production in February 2013, currently 20% of total production.

Chivo Mine & Gallega Mine – Chivo provided 4% of total production in Q4 2012. Gallega provided 12% of total production in Q4 2012. Both mines currently on stand-by; will be periodically mined for lead and zinc.

Capire Mine – Open-pit, VMS deposit with high grade polymetallic mineralization.

Commissioning of the 200 tpd pilot plan began in March 2013.

Valle de Oro – Current exploration area. Widespread mesothermal veins indicate potential gold-copper subdistrict lying beneath the Zacualpan Silver District. Initial high grade drill results at the Carlos Pacheco and Huatecosco veins.

New Mine Production: Cuchara-Oscar Mine

Oscar is a high-grade silver vein corridor linking the past-producing Cuchara Mine and the Santa Lucia zone

Production at Cuchara-Oscar began in February 2013, with mineralization feeding the nearby Guadalupe Mill

Utilizing the legacy Cuchara Mine infrastructure allowed for lower capital costs and rapid mine development at Oscar

• These holes expanded to the extent of the Capire mineralization to the north and south; the zone

remains open for further expansion to the east and northeast

• Exploration drilling in 2013 will initially be on the Cruz Blanca and Santa Rita prospects

Capire Exploration

VMS mineralization in Capire District is predominantly silver-rich with zinc, lead, copper and gold credits

District covers the same stratigraphy as the Campo Morado VMS belt, where Nyrstar N.V. is in commercial production on the G-9 deposit

Several VMS targets in close proximity to Capire will be drilled: Guadalupe, Cruz Blanca, Santa Rita & Aurora II

4. Southeast Exploration Area • Currently mapping numerous old

mine workings, early stage exploration

20

Page 23: Impact Silver Corporate Presentation

Future Plans & Goals

2013 • Begin production at both the

Cuchara-Oscar Mine (completed) and the Capire Mine and Processing Centre (completed)

• Continue aggressive exploration across expansive land package to accelerate organic growth

• Pursue accretive M&A opportunities of advanced stage assets

2014 & Onward

• Define expansion plan for the Capire Mine and Processing Centre

• Continue exploration and expansion of mining activities with the aim to establish IMPACT as a multimillion ounce precious metals producer
