Marketwired Canada
IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:IPT) ("IMPACT") is pleased to announce drill
results from the Aurora II Zone and field sampling results from the nearby Manto
Rico Zone in the Capire District of Mexico.
Aurora II Drilling
The Aurora II Zone is located 1.3 kilometers southeast of the Capire Production
Centre and 16 kilometers south of IMPACT's other active mining and processing
operations at the Royal Mines of Zacualpan. The mineralization at Aurora II
consists of silver enriched volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") lenses and is
being explored as a potential source of additional feed for the Capire
Production Centre. The zone remains open for expansion to the west and
northeast.

Manto Rico Field Sample Results
Field work is currently underway in the Manto Rico area evaluating this high
grade VMS target located 3.6 kilometers to the northwest of the Capire
Production Centre. Historical workings in the area include five mine drifts and
three open cuts exposing mineralization similar to that in the Capire open pit.
Initial channel samples from two of the historical workings returned the
following results:

Previous Results from the Manto Rico Area
Twelve holes were drilled by an earlier operator in 1997 within 600 meters of
these workings. Reported values included 1,100 g/t silver, 1.51% lead, 2.63%
zinc over 1.0 meter; 1,200 g/t silver, 5.78% lead, 9.77% zinc over 0.38 meters;
and, 789 g/t silver, 0.66% lead, 1.2% zinc over 0.50 meters. IMPACT has not
independently verified these historical drill results and they may not be
compliant with current NI 43-101 requirements; therefore, they should not be
relied upon. However, IMPACT believes these drill results suggest a significant
strike length to the Manto Rico mineralization and are relevant to planning
further exploration work in the area. A drill program to verify and expand these
results is planned for 2014 with the goal of providing an additional source of
feed for the Capire Production Centre.

IMPACT Silver operates two silver production centres within its 100%-owned 623
km2 land package in south-central Mexico: the Guadalupe Production Centre and
the new Capire Production Centre. At Guadalupe, three underground silver mines
feed the central 500-tpd (tonnes-per-day) processing plant located within the
historic Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver District. At Capire, the Company's
first open-pit silver mine commenced initial production in early 2013.
