Impact Silver Announces Zacatecas Sampling Results
======================================================================
IMPACT Silver Corp. ("IMPACT") is pleased to announce results from an
initial sampling program undertaken on the wholly-owned Nueva Granada
and Asturiana concessions in the Zacatecas Silver District.
The concessions cover both the San Jose Vein and the Armado Vein, which
are branches of the Veta Grande vein system. Historically, the
Zacatecas Silver District has produced over one billion ounces of
silver, of which the Veta Grande vein system was the largest
contributor. Historical mine plans indicate that these two veins on
IMPACT's concessions were mined along a length of 800m and to a depth
of 150-200m.
SAN JOSE VEIN
The San Jose Vein crosses the concessions over a distance of 800m. Old
mine workings and dumps mark the surface along its entire width. A
total of six channel samples were collected from surface exposures of
the vein and averaged 239g/t silver over 0.74m true width ("TW"),
ranging to a high of 444g/t silver over 1.10m TW. Five old mine dumps
were also sampled along the vein. Two samples were collected at each
dump site. The average of the five sulphide-bearing samples was 407g/t
silver, ranging to a high of 1,070g/t silver. The average of five
sulphide-poor samples was 141g/t silver, ranging to a high of 390g/t
silver.
ARMADO VEIN
The Armado Vein trends 100m west of and runs parallel to the San Jose
Vein. It has been traced over a distance of 500m and is marked by old
mine workings and dumps along its entire length. Channel samples
collected from surface exposures of the vein located 130m apart assayed
237g/t silver over 1.92TW and 1,320g/t silver over 0.30mTW. Two
samples were collected at an old mine dump on the vein located 400m to
the north. A sulphide-bearing sample assayed 358g/t silver and a
sulphide-poor sample assayed 247g/t silver.
Several splay veins branch off the main Armado Vein. A channel sample
from a splay vein in the southern portion of the concessions assayed
188g/t silver over 1.04m TW. At this location, a sulphide-bearing
sample from the old mine dump assayed 556g/t silver and a sulphide-poor
sample assayed 54g/t silver.
IMPACT has an option to purchase a 200-tonne-per-day processing plant
that is located in the center of the Zacatecas Silver District and six
kilometers south of the concessions. Presently, the plant is being
operated on a custom milling basis for local miners.
Based upon the encouraging results from this initial field work and the
concessions' close proximity to the processing plant, a first phase
drill program is being planned.
Edward Lyons, P.Geo., a Qualified Person under the meaning of Canadian
National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for the technical content of
this news release. Chip and channel samples were collected from
cleaned rock faces over a continuous representative interval using a
chisel and hammer. A total of 5% assay standards and blanks were
inserted into every sample shipment as a quality control measure. All
samples were shipped to the ALS Chemex preparation laboratory in
Guadalajara, Mexico, where they were fine crushed (70% passing a 2mm
screen), pulverized (85% passing a 75 micron screen) and pulp split
separated for assay by a riffle splitter. These pulps were shipped to
the ALS Chemex laboratory in North Vancouver, Canada, where a 30-gram
split of each was assayed for gold and silver by standard fire assay
and a 10-gram split was analysed for an additional 30 elements by ICP
spectrometry.
IMPACT Silver Corp. is a silver focused mining and exploration company
with a producing silver operation at Zacualpan, Mexico, an advanced
project with a producing mill at Zacatecas, Mexico, and other projects
