Rhea-AI Summary

IMPACT Silver Corp. (ISVLF) announces a C$6.2 million non-brokered private placement financing, aiming to raise funds for exploration, operational improvements, and development of silver assets. The offering consists of two types of units at different prices, with each unit including common shares and warrants. Proceeds will be used to accelerate exploration activities in Mexico and enhance zinc production at the Plomosas deposit.

Positive

• The private placement financing will provide IMPACT Silver Corp. with the necessary funds to accelerate exploration activities at its Plomosas property in Mexico, expanding the existing mineral resource and potentially discovering new deposits.

• The funds raised will also be used to develop the company's prolific silver assets at the Royal Mines of Zacualpan district, enabling IMPACT Silver Corp. to enhance its operational efficiency and increase productivity.

• The focus on operational improvements to improve productivity and throughput as the price of silver nears 52-week highs demonstrates the company's strategic approach to capitalize on market conditions and optimize its production capabilities.

Negative

• The issuance of new shares through the private placement may lead to dilution for existing shareholders, impacting their ownership stake in the company and potentially reducing their share of future profits or earnings.

• The uncertainty surrounding regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and compliance with applicable securities laws could pose risks to the timely completion of the offering and subsequent utilization of the raised funds.

• The hold period of four months and one day for common shares and warrants issued as part of the Standard PP Units may restrict the liquidity of these securities, limiting investors' ability to trade or sell them in the short term.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 30, 2024) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement financing (the "Offering"), pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption (LIFE) of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106") and other private placement exemptions under NI 45-106. The LIFE portion of the Offering is referred to in this news release as the "LIFE Offering". The Company intends to raise gross proceeds of up to $3,200,000 from the sale of up to 11,428,572 units (the "LIFE Units") at a price of $0.28 per LIFE Unit, and up to $3,000,000 from the sale of up to 11,111,111 standard private placement units (the "Standard PP Units") at $0.27 per Standard PP Unit. Each LIFE Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one half common share purchase warrant (each whole such warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.34 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from its date of issue. Each Standard PP Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one full Warrant, with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Warrant Share at a price of $0.34 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from its date of issue.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to accelerate exploration activity at its Plomosas high-grade zinc-lead-silver property located in Chihuahua, Mexico, further develop its prolific silver assets at its legacy Royal Mines of Zacualpan district, as well as invest in operational improvements to improve productivity and throughput as the price of silver nears 52-week highs. Exploration activities include sampling, target definition, and drilling with the intention of expanding the existing JORC mineral resource at Plomosas, where only 600m of the 6-kilometre-long structure has been tested. The region is known for hosting some of the largest carbonate replacement deposits in the world. As such, the Company intends to allocate a portion of the proceeds to continue development and grow production at the Plomosas high-grade zinc deposit as zinc prices continue to outperform on the back of forecasted supply deficits.

ABOUT IMPACT SILVER

IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) is a successful producer-explorer with two mining projects in Mexico.

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 6 km-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.

Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold District: IMPACT owns 100% of the 211 km² Zacualpan project in central Mexico 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 to leverage improving commodity prices. Over the past 17 years, IMPACT has developed multiple exploration zones into commercial production and has produced over 12 million ounces of silver, generating revenue more than $256 million.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included herein, including, without limitation, statements relating to future silver prices, interpretation of drill results, future work plans, the timing of closing of the Offering, proceeds received and use of funds, the potential of the Company's projects, and potential and plans for the Plomosas project, are forward looking statements. 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. There is no assurance that (i) the Company will be able to complete the Offering on the terms set out above, or at all, or (ii) that the proceeds of the Offering will be expended as contemplated.

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.

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.
