IMPACT Silver Announces Closing of $3.5 Million Non-Brokered Private Placement Financing
Vancouver, December 22, 2023 - Impact Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the non-brokered private placement financing of $3,500,000 previously announced on December 6th, and increased on December 8th, 2023 (the "Offering") to $3,500,000.
The Company received aggregate proceeds of C$3,500,000 from the issuance of 20,588,235 units (the "Units") of the Company at C$0.17 per unit. Each unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one share from the company at a price of $0.22 per share for a period of 24 months from its date of issue.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for exploration and development of its projects in Mexico, working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes including legal and financing fees related to the Offering.
Frederick Davidson, CEO and President of the Company comments, "I would like to thank all our investors and stakeholders for their support in this financing as we close out the year. We anticipate a robust and expanding exploration program in 2024 as we ramp up operational cash flow. Meanwhile, precious and base metal prices have recently benefited from lower forecasted interest rates and strong anticipated growth emanating from the green energy economy which will command substantial amounts of silver and zinc going forward."
The offering was made pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions (the "LIFE Exemption"). The securities sold under the LIFE Exemption are not subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. A copy of the offering document under the LIFE Exemption dated December 6, 2023, as amended December 8, 2023, is available electronically on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under the Company's issuer profile. The offering remains subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
In connection with the offering, the Company paid an aggregate of $58,000 in finder's fees and issued 341,298 finder's warrants (each, a "Finder's Warrant") to certain finders. Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of 22 cents per share for a period of 24 months from its date of issue.
The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom.

Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold District: IMPACT owns 100% of the 211 km2 Zacualpan project where four underground silver mines and one open pit mine feed the central 500 tpd Guadalupe processing plant. To the south, the Capire Project includes a 200 tpd processing pilot plant adjacent to an open pit silver mine with an NI 43-101 inferred mineral resource of over 4.5 million oz silver, 48 million lbs zinc and 21 million lbs lead (see IMPACT news release dated January 18, 2016 for details and QP statement); Company engineers are reviewing Capire for a potential restart of operations. Over the past 17 years, IMPACT has placed multiple zones into commercial production and produced over 12 million ounces of silver, generating revenues over $256 million.
Plomosas Zinc-Lead-Silver District: Plomosas is a high-grade zinc producer in northern Mexico with exceptional exploration upside potential. The Company recently re-commenced operations and has plans for expansion in 2024. Exploration potential at Plomosas is exceptional with only 600m of the 6km-long structure having been explored to date. This is in addition to other exploration targets on the 3,019-hectare property including untested copper-gold targets with indications of high-grade material from surface. Regionally, Plomosas lies in the same mineral belt as some of the largest carbonate replacement deposits in the world.

IMPACT does not assume the obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.
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 NI 43-101 the Company is required to disclose that it has not based its production decisions on NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource or reserve estimates, preliminary economic assessments or feasibility studies, and historically such projects have increased uncertainty and risk of failure.
