at nearby Chatinga Vein
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 20, 2020) - IMPACT Silver Corp. ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce the results of a sampling program in the Veta Negra area located 3.4 km to the northwest of IMPACT's 535
tonne per day Guadalupe processing plant in the Royal Mines of Zacualpan District, Mexico.
The Veta Negra vein system was mined in the 1970's and 1980's by a previous operator as both an open pit and from
underground with existing infrastructure intact.
Two north-northwest trending parallel veins with widths averaging 14 metres
justified open pit mining methods and are presently being tested to determine the potential of the open pit.
Vein mineralization is
being trucked from Veta Negra to the Guadalupe processing plant and blended with mineral from the Guadalupe and San
Ramon operations.
Historic sampling has shown vein system continuity over a strike length of 650 meters and could represent significant tonnage
for IMPACT's mill.
IMPACT personnel carried out three series of continuous chip samples across the El Socorro vein and the
Veta Negra vein in the Veta Negra open pit which returned the following results:

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 211km
2
in central Mexico with excellent infrastructure and labor force. Over the past 14
years IMPACT has produced over 9.4 Moz of Silver, generating revenues of $175 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 200tpd Capire processing plant is currently on standby but turnkey available to return to
production. It is adjacent to an open pit silver mine with a National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101")
compliant resource of over
4.5 Moz Silver, 48 million lbs Zinc and 21 million lbs Lead (see IMPACT news release dated
January 18, 2016
) that is awaiting
higher silver prices to be restarted. Since acquiring the project, IMPACT has compiled an exhaustive database with over 5,000
old mine workings, assayed over 34,000 rock samples and over 54,000 drill core samples, analysed over 50,000 soil samples,
and put six mines into production. Additional information about IMPACT and its operations can be found on the Company

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.
