VANCOUVER, March 26, 2019 /CNW/ - IMPACT Silver Corp.
("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of a
diamond drilling program on the El Canelo gold silver vein in the
Santa Teresa area of the Royal
Mines of Zacualpan District,
Mexico. Earlier reported trench sampling along the strike of
the vein at 10m intervals returned an
average gold grade of 6.5 g/t across a true width of 1.66m and a length of 50m (see IMPACT news release dated September 25, 2018). The initial six hole
program tested the vein system along a strike length of
100m and to a depth of 100m at 50m
intervals.

The targeted vein was intersected in all holes. Drill holes
Z19-05 and -06 drilled on the south extension did not intersect
significant values. The zone remains open to the north and at
depth.
El Canelo is located four kilometers southwest of IMPACT's
Guadalupe processing plant. It is one of many gold-silver-copper
veins in the Santa Teresa area
which also has potential for bulk tonnage gold based on many
widespread gold-silver-copper veins and alteration over an 800
hectare area (see IMPACT news releases dated January 8, 2018, September
25, 2018 and January 23, 2019
for details). The strong gold potential of the Santa Teresa area was first recognized by
IMPACT geologists between 2008 and 2013 while drilling the Carlos
Pacheco and San Juan areas 1.5km
to the north which yielded gold values including 19.6 g/t
gold across 2.9 meters and 3.84 g/t gold across 6.7 meters. Details
of those drill results can be viewed in IMPACT news releases dated
December 4, 2008; July 11, 2012; October 30,
2013; January 7, 2014.
Other current exploration programs are targeting the Manto
America and La Mora gold areas of the large property where surface
and underground samples have returned values up to 19.5g/t Au over
1.2m within a soil geochemical
anomaly measuring 2500 by 600m in
size.

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 357km2 in central Mexico with excellent infrastructure and labor
force. Over the past thirteen 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 District three
underground silver mines feed the central Guadalupe processing
plant. To the south, in the Mamatla District the Capire processing plant
is on standby but available to process any new zones of
mineralization. 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 for details) that is
awaiting higher silver prices to be restarted. Since acquiring the
project, IMPACT has compiled an exhaustive database at Zacualpan with over 5,000 old mine workings,
assays for over 34,000 rock samples and over 54,000 drill core
samples, analyses for over 50,000 soil samples, and put six mines
into production. Additional information about IMPACT and its
operations can be found on the Company website

News Release may contain certain "forward-looking" statements and
information relating to IMPACT that is based on the beliefs of
IMPACT management, as well as assumptions made by and information
currently available to IMPACT management. 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. Such
statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect
to the expected use of proceeds of the Private Placement.
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

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 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.
