("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce high-grade silver results from surface drilling which have extended mineralization 250m south at the San Ramon Mine in the Royal Mines of Zacualpan District, central Mexico. The zone remains open for further extension. Results from these new drill holes are as follows:

Three veins of interest were intersected (Inmaculada, Chaparrita and Chaparrita Alto) on the up-dip portion of the San Ramon Deeps Zone. Previous mining at San Ramon focused on the Inmaculada and to a lesser degree the Chaparrita. Mine. Levels 2 and 7 have been proposed to extend mining access to this newly defined mineralization.
Fred Davidson, CEO, stated, "With these drill results we continue to successfully extend the San Ramon mineralizing system which is larger at depth than near surface. These results along with some historic holes, extends the mineralization 250 meters south of existing mine workings and 200m vertically up-dip representing potential additional mining areas for the San Ramon Mine. We have two underground drill stations almost ready from which we will test the further extension of the zone to depth and to the south."
The San Ramon Mine is located five kilometers southeast of IMPACT's 535 tonne per day Guadalupe processing plant in the Royal Mines of Zacualpan District of central Mexico. It commenced production in 2005 on the San Ramon Zone and in 2014 on the San Ramon Deeps Zone located to the south. The drill holes in this news release intersected the up-dip portion of the San Ramon Deeps Zone above the current mining. In total, mining has occurred on 23 working levels over a vertical distance of 270 meters. The San Ramon Deeps Zone has been largely responsible for the higher silver grades reported by IMPACT's Guadalupe mill and accounts for 40% of IMPACT's current production.

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.
