VANCOUVER, Sept. 6, 2018 /CNW/ - IMPACT Silver Corp.
("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the discovery of
a new mineralized shoot on the Lipton vein in the Guadalupe mine.
The new Lipton Norte Zone was discovered during an underground
drill program which was designed to test the northern extension of the
near vertical vein system. To date the new zone has been drilled over
a length of 120m and vertical distance of 80m. The well mineralized
shoot remains open in all directions. Results from the recent drilling
are as follows:

The area was initially targeted during an exhaustive compilation of the
Guadalupe mine workings into IMPACT's comprehensive GIS
database of the large 357km2 land package. The geology team
discovered evidence of additional high-grade silver potential in this
area and allocated drilling in 2018's brownfield exploration plans.
The Guadalupe mine has an operating shaft and is located just beside
the Guadalupe 535 tonne per day processing plant; two factors which
minimize mining and trucking costs. The Company is pleased to see
exploration results are significantly higher grade than recent mill head
grade and plans to mine mineral from this newly discovered zone in
coming quarters to increase revenue per tonne as well as carry out
additional brownfields exploration elsewhere in the Guadalupe mine.
Historical production from the Guadalupe Mine was first recorded in
1529 and produced an estimated 9,000,000 ounces of silver between
1967 and 1982 from five veins on six levels to a depth of 270m below
surface. Throughout the centuries, as mining technologies allowed
greater depths to be mined and better recovery techniques were
developed the economic silver grades dropped. Fluctuations in the
price of silver, revolutions and economic downturns resulted in many
shutdowns and re-openings but Guadalupe has always managed to
recover and continue to produce silver and wealth for investors and
the local communities.

About IMPACT Silver:
IMPACT Silver Corp. is a successful silver explorer-producer with two
processing plants on adjacent districts within its 100% owned mineral
concessions covering 357km2 in central Mexico with excellent
infrastructure and labor force. Over the past twelve years over 8.1
Moz of Silver has been produced, generating revenues of $168
million, with no long-term debt. In the historic Royal Mines of
Zacualpan Silver District three underground silver mines feed the
central 535 TPD Guadalupe processing plant. To the south, in the
Mamatla District the Capire processing plant is currently rated at 200
tpd, but is expandable. It is adjacent to an open pit silver mine with a
NI-43-101 compliant resource of over 4.5 Moz Silver, 48 million lbs
Zinc and 21 million lbs Lead that is awaiting higher silver prices to be
restarted. Additional information about IMPACT and its operations can
be found on the Company website at www.IMPACTSilver.com.

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. Such
statements reflect the current risks, uncertainties and assumptions
related to certain factors including but not limited 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.
IMPACT does not assume the obligation to update any forward-
looking 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.
