2 Cautionary Statements Forward-Looking Statements: This presentation may contain certain forward-looking statements and information relating to IMPACT that are based on the beliefs of IMPACT management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to IMPACT management. Such statements reflect the current risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to certain factors including but not limited to, 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 events. 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 factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic conditions; changes in financial markets; the impact of exchange rates; political conditions and developments in countries in which the Company operates; changes in the supply, demand and pricing of the metal commodities which the Company mines or hopes to find and successfully mine; changes in regulatory requirements impacting the Company s operations; the ability to properly and efficiently staff the Company s operations; the sufficiency of current working capital and the estimated cost and availability of funding for the continued exploration and development of the Company s exploration properties. This list is not exhaustive and these and other factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on the Company s forward-looking statements. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, no assurance can be given as to any such future results, levels of activity or achievements and neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these forward-looking statements. Cautionary 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 Under NI the Company is required to disclose that it has not based its production decisions on NI compliant mineral resource or reserve estimates, preliminary economic assessments or feasibility studies, and historically such projects have increased uncertainty and risk of failure. NI Qualified Person: George Gorzynski, P. Eng., Vice President, Exploration and a Qualified Person under the meaning of Canadian National Instrument , is responsible for the technical information in this presentation with the exception of the Capire project mineral resource estimate. Steven Ristorcelli, C.P.G. (U.S.A.), Principal Geologist for Mine Development Associates and a Qualified Person under the meaning of Canadian National Instrument , is responsible for the Capire mineral resource estimate and directly related information. 2

3 Overview SILVER PRODUCTION NEW HIGHER GRADE SILVER MINES GOLD & COPPER ZONES EXTENSIVE EXPLORATION UPSIDE HIGH GRADE DRILL TARGETS IMPACT Silver has been a steady silver producer for the past 10 years with low cost operations on one large property covering two silver districts in central Mexico. In response to lower silver prices, mining has successfully transitioned much of its production to new higher grade silver mines at San Ramon and Mirasol 2014 saw initial test mining of new gold zones and metallurgical testing of copper zones in the Carlos Pacheco area, with the future aim to diversify Company metal production Exploration continues to evaluate some of the 4,500+ historic mine workings in the district indicative of extensive silver and gold mineralizing systems New high grade drill targets have been defined on large vein systems in the San Ramon Deeps, Alacran North, El Paso and San Pablo Norte areas 3

23 The Plan Forward (2017) CONTINUE TO UPGRADE AND EXPAND SILVER PRODUCTION Continue mine development and drilling to expand high grade silver production at San Ramon Deeps Continue to upgrade production at Cuchara and Mirasol Mines Prepare San Patricio Silver Mine for production Increase cash flows through continued improvements in grade and cost controls, and continue to optimize operating controls at all mines Exploration on select targets among the >4,500 silver and gold-copper old mine prospects Identify and Evaluate strategic opportunities for financing and acquisitions EXPANSION AND EXPLORATION Drill exploration targets at Alacran North, El Paso & San Pablo Norte Consider placing San Juan Gold-Copper Zone (Noche Buena Mine) into production when gold and copper prices improve Consider putting Capire open pit silver mine back into production with possible larger processing plant when silver prices recover Continue exploration and expand mining activities with aim to grow IMPACT Silver into a multimillion ounce precious metals producer 23

24 The Road to Growth 1. Growth through incremental Production Silver production has been increasing quarter on quarter due to mining of higher silver grades 2. Growth through Underground Development Improvement of underground access at San Ramon will allow more rapid mining of silver from the wide and high grade San Ramon Deeps Zone 3. Growth through Mine Drilling Underground drilling is expanding the high grade San Ramon Deeps Zone Underground drilling is expanding the Cuchara-Oscar Zone 4. Growth through Defined Lower Grade Resource Base Lower grade resources available for production at higher silver and gold prices have been defined at Capire, Carlos Pacheco-San Juan and elsewhere 5. Growth through Metal Diversification Mining and exploration of gold and copper zones beneath the known silver zones began with first mining and processing from the Carlos Pacheco South Zone in Growth through Spare Production Capacity The Capire processing plant is on care and maintenance and available for rapid start-up to increase production The Capire plant infrastructure was built with room for expansion to 1,000+ tpd 7. Growth through Brownfields Exploration Numerous drill targets on high grade silver and gold zones have been defined and are ready for drilling Over 4,500 historic mine workings have been catalogued demonstrating extensive exploration upside and the basis for defining future drill targets 8. Growth through Acquisitions and M&A 24
