IMPACT Silver Intersects 277 g/t Silver Across 3.15
Meters at Golondrinas Project Area, Mexico
IMPACT Silver Corp.
("IMPACT" or "the Company") is pleased to report
additional drill results from the 423-square-kilometer Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold District, Mexico. Significant
intersections include 277 g/t Ag across 3.15 meters (Drill Hole
Z10-27) and 3,010 g/t Ag across 0.25 meters (Drill Hole Z10-27). The Golondrinas Project area has good road infrastructure
connected to IMPACT's 500-tonne-per-day Guadalupe processing plant, located
three kilometers to the northwest. This drilling is part of a previously
announced first phase 5,000-meter Golondrinas-Chontalpan-Cuchara
(GGC) Sector drill program (see IMPACT news release dated July 27,
2010).
Reported below are assay results from six additional holes from the western
portion of the Golondrinas area:

Additional background information for the Golondrinas
Project area was provided when drilling commenced (see IMPACT news release
dated August 19,
2010). Drill results were previously reported from the first twelve holes
(see IMPACT news release dated October 19,
2010).
Currently, the drill is completing a second phase drill program on the Loma Larga target area, where earlier drilling intersected 402.6
g/t silver over 2.14 meters (see IMPACT news release dated September
15, 2010). A second phase drill program for the Chontalpan
Mine-Northwest target area will also follow shortly. Both second phase
programs for the Chontalpan Drill Sector are
designed to build tonnage and better define mineralization discovered earlier
this year. Upon completion of Chontalpan second
phase drilling, it is anticipated that the drill will move back to the Golondrinas Project area to undertake a second phase
drill program on selected targets once results have been interpreted and
integrated into IMPACT's GIS database.
NEW MILESTONE: 2,000
OLD MINE WORKINGS COMPILED TO DATE
The Company's compilation of old mine and exploration workings for the Zacualpan and Mamatla Districts
has now surpassed 2,000, with the addition of 443 old workings this past year
alone, a 30% increase from 2009. After almost 500 years of mining history,
the Company's land holdings contain a large number of old mine tunnels, adits, shafts and prospect pits, many of which date back
to the Spanish colonial times. Throughout the past five years, the Company's
exploration team has focused on locating these old workings, and is actively
re-opening them in order to undertake detailed mapping and rock sampling (see
IMPACT news release dated August 11,
2009). By documenting the locations of these old workings, both the major
veins and, in many cases, the higher grade portions of these veins can be
ascertained by IMPACT's exploration team in order to prioritize areas for
detailed work and drilling.
In addition, the Company's exploration team has documented the locations of
38 old mill sites in the Zacualpan and Mamatla Districts dating back to Spanish colonial times.
Many of these mills occur in geographically distinct locations and appear to
represent logistical centers for historical "mining camps".
Nineteen such "mining camps" have now been recognized on the
Company's claim holdings.
IMPACT also announces that financial results for the third quarter ended September
30, 2010 will be released at the end of November.
