Impact Silver Announces Results of Aurora 2
Drilling
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 16, 2023) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT)
(OTC Pink: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") announces drill results from the Aurora 2
Zone located 1.3 kilometers northeast of the Capire processing plant and 16 kilometers south of
IMPACT's other active mining and processing operations at the Royal Mines of Zacualpan in central
Mexico. The mineralization at Aurora 2 consists of silver enriched volcanogenic massive sulphide
mineralized ("VMS") lenses and is being explored as a potential source of additional feed for the Capire
processing plant.
These results extend the Aurora 2 zone to the west. The zone has historically been grid
drilled with 72 drill holes, and remains open for expansion to the west and northeast.
The drilling was
carried out with one of IMPACT's man portable hydraulic surface diamond drill rigs. Highlights from the
new Aurora 2 drilling include the following:

All drill holes in the table above were drilled vertically. Other recent drill results from Aurora 2 were low
grade. Previous drilling at Aurora 2 included intersections of 625 g/t Silver over 1.88 m and 420 g/t Silver
over 2.50 m (see IMPACT news release dated December 9, 2013). Drilling is also continuing with
IMPACT's underground rig in the operating Mina Grande mine located in the Cuchara area, and field
exploration is continuing on multiple targets. Plans are being made for a large drill program in 2023.
ABOUT IMPACT SILVER

adjacent districts within its 100% owned mineral concessions covering 211km2 in central Mexico with
excellent infrastructure and local labor force. Over the past 16 years, IMPACT has produced over 11.5
million ounces of silver, generating revenues over $230 million, with no long-term debt.
At the Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver District, three underground silver mines and one open pit mine

for details and QP statement); Company engineers are reviewing
Capire for a potential restart of operations. With 16 years of exploration successes leading to production
cash flows, IMPACT has shown the Zacualpan Silver-Gold District to be endowed with many high-grade
silver and gold zones and has placed multiple zones into commercial production.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This IMPACT News Release may contain certain "forward-looking" statements and information relating
to IMPACT that is based on the beliefs of IMPACT management, as well as assumptions made by and
information currently available to IMPACT management. Forward-looking information is often, but not
always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "planned",
"expect", "project", "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intends", "believe", "potential", and similar
expressions, or describes a "goal", or variation of such words and phrases or state that certain actions,
events or results "may", "should", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Such
statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the expected use of proceeds of the
Private Placement.
Such forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks and assumptions, including with
respect to, without limitations, 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 including potential renewed production at the Capire processing plant. 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.
