IMPACT Silver Corp. announced the completion its' 2022 Royal Mines of Zacualpan area surface exploration drill program in central Mexico. Significant results for the last sets of assays for 2022 were returned from greenfields targets at La Luz and San Antonio.

The drilling was carried out with IMPACT's man portable hydraulic surface diamond drill rigs. The historic La Luz mine is located to the west and along strike of the Pachuqueno mine workings in IMPACT's operating Guadalupe Mine and also hosts a northeast trending vein, both of which were tested by sixteen surface drill holes. The San Antonio Zinc vein system is located 4km southeast of IMPACT's operating Guadalupe Processing Plant and on trend with the Cuchara mine vein system.

The increase in the zinc price led to testing the extent and continuity of San Antonio's known mineralized system which was last explored in 2007. A total of seventeen holes were drilled to test the system at depth and along strike of historic mine workings and previous drilling. Other drill results from these and other targets were low grade.

Drilling is continuing with IMPACT's underground rig in the Mina Grande mine located in the Cuchara area and field exploration is continuing on multiple targets. Plans are being made for a large drill program in 2023.
