VANCOUVER, July 17, 2018 /CNW/ - IMPACT Silver Corp. ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the discovery of a new zone in the San Ramon mine. The new San Ramon Deeps #2 Zone was discovered through an underground drill program testing the southern extension  of the vein system. High-grade silver results have been intersected 100m south of current mining levels of the San Ramon Mine in the Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver District, central Mexico. The zone remains open for further extension vertically above for nearly 300 meters and to the south. Highlights from these new drill holes are as follows:

Other holes in this program (shown on the attached section) intersected lower grades or intersected outside the San Ramon Deeps #2 Zone. The San Ramon vein systems have proven to be remarkably consistent and well endowed. The up dip potential from these new intersections is strong and remains a compelling target for further drilling. Surface mapping and sampling is underway to guide further drilling from surface over the southern extension of the San Ramon veins. Historical sampling of the Inmaculada Vein on surface has returned values ranging from 202 to 455 ppm silver over a strike length of 180m south of the current mine workings.

The San Ramon Mine is located five kilometers southeast of IMPACT's 535 tonne per day Guadalupe processing plant. Since IMPACT's production started in 2005 the Company has produced over eight million ounces of silver in concentrates from the plant with feed from several mines  In total mining has occurred on 23 working levels over a vertical distance of 270 meters at San Ramon. The San Ramon Deeps Zone has been largely responsible for the higher silver grades reported by IMPACT's Guadalupe mill and accounts for 40% of IMPACT's current production.

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. IMPACT does not assume the obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

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 NI43‑101 the Company is required to disclose that it has not based its production decisions on NI43‑101‑compliant mineral resource or reserve estimates, preliminary economic assessments or feasibility studies, and historically such projects have increased uncertainty and risk of failure.
