Surface drill results reported in this news release tested the north extension of the Carlos Pacheco Vein
and its splay veins for 150m north of the active mine workings. This 150m well mineralized segment
trends NNW. Beyond that the vein bends toward a NW direction where three drill holes (Z25-13, 14, 15)
did not intersect any significant mineralization. However, further north beyond drill hole Z25-15, drill hole
Z26-02 intersected significant assays and additional drilling is planned.
NOCHE BUENA MINE
In late 2025, IMPACT restarted the Noche Buena Mine where previous mining sourced mineral from two
veins - the Noche Buena silver vein and the Carlos Pacheco gold-silver vein - and began mapping and
drilling of the north extensions of the Carlos Pacheco Vein. Current production is from the Carlos
Pacheco Vein System.
CEO STATEMENT
President and CEO Fred Davidson commented, "We are very pleased with these new high-grade gold
and silver drill results on the extension of the Carlos Pacheco Vein System north of where we recently
restarted mining. This mine has two different veins, the Noche Buena Vein from which we mine silver and
the nearby Carlos Pacheco Vein System where we have begun to mine gold as well as silver. We are
also encouraged by the significant copper values in this north extension and with additional exploration
success, may consider mining copper as well. All in all, an excellent first phase to the drill program and to
the benefit of our Noche Buena Mine."
ABOUT IMPACT SILVER
IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) is a successful producer-explorer with two projects in Mexico.
Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold Mine
: IMPACT owns 100% of over 200 km2 of highly
prospective ground at Zacualpan in central Mexico where four producing 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 which
is being reviewed for a potential restart of operations. Over the past 20 years, IMPACT has
developed multiple exploration zones into commercial production and has produced approximately
14 million ounces of silver, generating revenue of more than $322 million, with no long-term debt.
Plomosas Zinc Project
: Plomosas is a high-grade zinc project in northern Mexico with
exploration upside potential. In March 2026, the Company temporarily suspended mining
operations at Plomosas while it works toward a more efficient and sustainable operating plan.
Exploration potential at Plomosas lies along a long 6 km structure. 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 at surface. Regionally, Plomosas lies in the same mineral belt
as some of the largest carbonate replacement deposits in the world.
Quality Control/Quality Assurance
Drill core was NTW size (5.71 cm diameter). Half core samples were collected with a rock saw and
tagged for identification. All samples were securely stored at the Zacualpan Mine until shipment. A total
of 5% certified assay standards and 5% blanks were inserted into every sample shipment as a quality
control measure. All samples were shipped to the ALS preparation laboratory in Guadalajara, Mexico,
where they were fine crushed (70% passing a 2 mm screen), pulverized (85% passing a 75 micron
screen) and pulp split separated for assay. These pulps were shipped to the ALS laboratory in North
Vancouver, Canada, where a 10 gram split was aqua regia digested and then analyzed for 36 elements
including zinc, lead and silver by ICP-AES spectrometry (ALS code ME-ICP41). Assays for base metals
>1% used an overlimit ICP-AES method (ALS code OG46). All gold results were carried out by standard
fire assay with an AAS finish (ALS code Au-AA23). ALS is a major, independent, international ISO/IEC
17025 accredited laboratory.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This News Release contains forward-looking statements or forward-looking information relating to
IMPACT (collectively, "forward-looking information").
Forward-looking information is often, but not
always, identified by the use of words such as "plan", "expect", "project", "predict", "potential",
"targeting", "intend", "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. Forward-looking information in this News Release
includes information concerning, among other things, strategies, plans and expectations concerning the
Company's, business and operations, including those in respect of the Zacualpan, Plomosas, Capire
and other projects, and the anticipated outcomes thereof; the status and potential outcomes of
discussions with third parties regarding potential operational arrangements on nearby mining projects
and the Company's outlook in respect of the metals market, including the demand for silver and zinc.
These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the
Company's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from
any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievement expressed or implied by these forward-
looking statements. The forward-looking information in this News Release is based on the beliefs and
assumptions of IMPACT management considered reasonable as of the date hereof, including but not
limited to the assumption that the temporary suspension and continued exploration work at Plomosas will
produce the expected results; that the Company's development, exploration and other business activities
will not be adversely disrupted or impeded by regulatory, political, community, economic, environmental
and/or health and safety risks; that management's projections will be validated over time; and general
business and economic conditions will not change in a materially adverse manner. 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.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following:
unfavorable economic conditions; changes in financial markets; the impact of exchange rate fluctuations;
unstable political conditions and developments in countries in which the Company operates; community
relations; criminal activity; changes in the supply, demand and pricing of the metal commodities which
the Company mines or hopes to find and successfully mine; changes in regulatory requirements
impacting the Company's operations; pandemics and epidemics; the ability to properly and efficiently
staff the Company's operations; the sufficiency of current working capital; the estimated cost and
availability of funding for the continued exploration and development of the Company's exploration
properties; and other risks and uncertainties involved in the mineral exploration and development
industry.
This list is not exhaustive and these and other factors should be considered carefully, and
readers should not place undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking statements.
As a result of the
foregoing and other factors, no assurance can be given as to any such future results, levels of activity or
achievements and neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy
and completeness of these forward-looking statements.
The Company does not undertake to update
forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, 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.
