The majority of the drill program will test various advanced to early-stage targets at the Royal Mines of Zacualpan. The initial targets to be tested will include Veta Negra, San Ramon, and brownfield targets to expand current resources zones. The 2019 drilling program at San Ramon intersected 2.14 meters of 418 g/t Siler and 1.59 meters of 1,393 g/t Silver extending zone at depth and along strike. This program will allow our geological team to understand the area further.
The program will also have initial test programs planned or a number of other early-stage silver targets such as Chapanial, Manto America, Alacran, Carlos Pecheco area.
On February 26, 2020, IMPACT sampled at Chapial targets on surface up to 97.5 g/t gold and 97.9 g/t silver over true width of 0.80 meter - the intention of a portion of the program will be to test these high potential targets.

This IMPACT 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. Such statements reflect the current risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to certain factors including but not limited 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 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, except as required by law.
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.
