Impact Silver Announces New Discovery At The Royal Mines Of
Zacualpan
=======================================================================
IMPACT Silver Corp. ("IMPACT") is pleased to announce a new discovery
on the San Antonio Target within the Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver
District. Recent drilling returned the highest zinc and lead grades
with significant gold and silver mineralization encountered by IMPACT
to date. These results are part of the 10,000m drill program budgeted
for 2007.
The San Antonio zone is located 4km southeast of the Zacualpan mill.
On surface, it is marked by a glory hole measuring 45m x 3m x 30m deep,
two adits and a foundation for an old processing plant. The
mineralized intercepts occur below the water table, which appear to
have been left undisturbed by historic mining. Highlights of the
recent eleven-hole drill program include:

IMPACT Announces Second Quarter Results
via COMTEX
August 27, 2007
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Aug 27, 2007 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX News Network) --
IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:IPT) ("IMPACT" or "the Company") is pleased to announce its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The Company's consolidated financial statements include the results of the Royal Mines of Zacualpan Project ("Zacualpan") that was purchased on January 16, 2006 and resumed production on January 18, 2006. For the 2007 second quarter, the Company's net revenues were $1,677,000 (2006 - $1,977,000) and net loss of $48,000 (2006 - $103,000). Year to date net revenues were $3,536,000 compared to $3,124,000 for the same period in 2006 with net earnings of $219,000 compared to $75,416 in the first half of 2006. The Company's loss for the quarter included a provision for foreign exchange losses of $172,000 compared to a gain in the comparative period in 2006 of $158,000.
The comparative results for the second quarter of 2006 have been restated in accordance with the recommendations contained in CICA handbook 1506.42. While there has been no change to the net income for the 2006 year, there was a significant timing difference and its impact on net income for the comparative 2006 second quarter earnings as a result of the restatement of the forward sales contract liability incurred during the acquisition of the Zacualpan mine.
In the second quarter of 2007, the Company achieved higher levels of throughput at the Zacualpan mine, averaging 279 tonnes-per-day ("tpd"). The amount of silver produced in the quarter was 13% lower, however production in lead increased 95% and zinc by 74% over the comparable quarter in 2006. The number of total tonnes processed also increased by 75%.
During the first half, mining of medium grade mineral at the Guadalupe Mine continued principally on the 195m Level as well as exploiting the Liptonia Vein on the 140m level. Success in exploration drilling in 2006 led to the commencement of mining in late 2006 from La Gallega (Salvadora) Mine. Mining began on the high grade Salvadora stopes and in the first quarter also commenced on the Lipton Vein and the recently-discovered San David Vein.
With the current prices for base metals the Company plans to continue to mine higher grade lead and zinc mineralization in older production stopes before moving the infrastructure over to the higher silver grade mineralization at San Ramon and El Chivo in the late fall.
The Company is continuing an aggressive exploration and development program as part of the plan to ramp up production at Zacualpan to the current capacity of the mill of 500tpd. A surface drill program of approximately 10,000m is currently underway while underground drilling (with the Company's own rig) continues on a two shift basis.
During the first six months the Company acquired through a Government auction, a 100% interest in the mineral exploration rights to the 200km2 Mamatla mining district, which lies immediately adjacent to the Zacualpan mining district. In Zacatecas the company now has interests in seventeen mineral concessions. The acquisition of these exploration rights adds significantly to the overall growth potential and future prospects of the Company.
The Company holds all its cash and cash equivalents in bank secured investments. It holds no commercial paper.
IMPACT Silver Corp. is a Tier 1 silver-focused mining and exploration company with two producing silver mines at Zacualpan, Mexico; exploration rights to two Mexican mining districts, an advanced-stage silver project at Zacatecas, Mexico; and, other projects in the Dominican Republic. Energold Drilling Corp. (TSX VENTURE:EGD) owns 6.6 million shares of IMPACT.

Modern Miners Revisit Las Minas de los Zacatecas
By Andrew K. Burger
14 Aug 2007 at 01:35 PM GMT-04:00
PRETORIA, South Africa (ResourceInvestor.com) -- Home to Los Minas de los Zacatecas (The Mines of the Zacatecas), silver and gold mined in the north-central Mexican state of Zacatecas was the Spanish Crown’s largest source of wealth during the European Age of Discovery. Today, junior miners including Arian Silver [AIM:AGQ;TSX.V:AGQ], IMPACT Silver Corp. [TSX.V:IPT] and Shoshone Silver Mining are looking to revitalize the area’s mining industry, following in the footsteps of the Mexican Indian and Spanish miners who came before them.
On Aug. 2, Arian Silver announced it had raised gross proceeds of nearly C$3 million (US$2.819 million) through the non-brokered private placement of 5,454,500 units, each comprised of one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant. The capital will be used for general corporate purposes and to fund further exploration and development work in Mexico, including at the 4,300 hectare San Jose property and San Jose Mine, which yielded more than 2 million tonnes of ore at an average grade of 250 grams per tonne (g/t) for Monarca between 1993 and 2001.
On July 17, IMPACT Silver Corp. granted incentive options for the purchase of 1.2 million common shares to directors, officers and employees as part of its stock option plan. The company earlier this year acquired two wholly-owned, royalty-free concessions in the Zacatecas Silver District, which, management noted, has produced more than 1 billion ounces of silver, including the Veta Grande vein system, the largest producing vein in the district.
Established in 1969, Idaho’s Shoshone Silver Mining shut down most of its production in the early 1990’s as precious metals prices fell, shifting its focus towards acquiring new assets and diversifying its asset base. This included the 2004 acquisition of the 3,300 acre Bilbao property in the Panfilo Natera mining district 35 miles southeast of the state capital city of Zacatecas.
A Rich History
Mexico and Zacatecas’s mining history stretches far back in history. Today known more as a popular Mexican tourist site than for mining, the city of Zacatecas was founded in 1546 and built over a rich vein of silver discovered by Juan de Tolosa, as recounted by Shoshone Silver Mining on its website. Silver mined in the modern day state of Zacatecas and from Potosi in Bolivia was used to coin pieces of eight that were shipped around the world by Spanish treasure fleets and their Manila galleons and used to pay for the wars that built the Spanish Empire in the 16th century.
With precious metals prices still in a long-term upswing, Shoshone management is seeking joint venture partners for its Bilbao Project in Zacatecas state’s Panfilo Natera district, as well as for silver projects in Idaho’s Silver Valley and platinum group, gold and uranium projects in Arizona and California.
High-grade silver ores were originally discovered in Panfilo Natera in 1600, and mining was carried out on the Bilbao property between 1900 and 1927 by the International Mining Co. (Consejo de Recursos Minerales), according to Shoshone. The company estimates that 1 million tonnes of ore have been mined from underground workings and two glory holes that followed high-grade mineralization zones.
Documented mining took place only to a depth of 250 feet (76 metres) where sulphide ore was intersected. Shoshone found no evidence of drilling on the property, which, according to historical research, was controlled by Penoles from 1967-1991.
Bringing Things Up to Date
Shoshone currently has three diamond drill rigs on the Bilbao property. Two types of mineralization have been found, according to Shoshone management.
“Distal copper-lead-zinc-silver pyroxene skarn mineralization has been documented within altered Cretaceous Age carbonates near granitic intrusives. Hydrothermal veins, of secondary importance at this time, are hosted by both the granitic intrusive and the Cretaceous Age marine sediments. The zinc-lead skarn could grade laterally into both gold-bearing garnet skarn or massive zinc-lead replacement ores in carbonate rocks,” they stated in a media release.
A potential upper oxide resource extending to a depth of approximately 250 feet with zinc, lead, copper oxides, copper carbonates and silver chloride minerals has also been found on the property and this may overlie a significant sulphide resource.
As part of a 2006 joint venture agreement, Shoshone and Minco Plc began a 10,000-foot (3300-metre) drill programme which intersected three zones of oxide and sulphide mineralization.
The lowermost comprises an estimated 115 foot true width zone of massive to semi-massive oxide and sulphide mineralization, including pyrite, galena and sphalerite. Preliminary assay results yielded a 50-foot intersection averaging 2.43% zinc, 0.56 parts per million (ppm) gold, 69.0ppm silver, 0.29% lead and 0.37% copper.
A second drill hole was completed in August 2006 intersecting a 35-metre thick sulphide mineralization zone made up of silver and lead minerals between 166.95 and 201.95 metres.
Welsh for Silver
Arian Silver’s management on August 13 provided an update on the diamond drilling programme taking place as part of its San Jose Project in Zacatecas state.
A lower grade, near-surface mineralized zone distinct and separate from the San Jose main vein was identified opening up the possibility of open pit mining. Mineral oxide grades for the drill cores are comparable to oxide open pit mines such as Coeur d’Alene’s Rochester Mine in Nevada with grades of 28 g/t silver and 0.34 g/t gold.
“This area could be put into production very quickly, subject to our ongoing scoping studies, and help us reach one of our main objectives, to be in production by 2009,” Arian’s CEO Jim Williams said in a media release.
The company has completed 26 diamond drill holes, some 4,000 of a total 5,000 metres originally scheduled for Phase One of the programme. Management has decided to expand this to 7,000 metres in view of the initial results.
IMPACT in Zacatecas
IMPACT Silver Corp. in April announced the wholly-owned and royalty-free acquisition of the Nueva Granada and Asturiana prospects within the Veta Grande vein system in the Zacatecas Silver District - an area that it is estimated has yielded some 1.2 billion ounces of silver over the course of mining history there.
The concessions also contain approximately 30,000 tonnes of old mine dumps. Some 12,000 tonnes of rock from these dumps with an average of 220 grams per tonne (g/t) silver was processed at the Veta Grande plant, according to reports from 2003. IMPACT controls the Veta Grande plant through an option to purchase agreement.
With the acquisition of the Nueva Grande and Asturiana concessions, IMPACT controls 17 concessions in the Zacatecas area, part and parcel of management’s strategy to secure prospective properties and long-term ore supplies for its Veta Grande processing plant.
IMPACT & the Chivo Silver Shoot
IMPACT currently produces silver from two mines - Guadelupe and Gallega (Salvadora) - exploiting a “classic Mexican epithermal silver district” at a 500-tonne per day processing plant 100 kilometres southwest of Mexico City at its Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver Project.
Located in another of North America’s oldest mining districts, Zacualpan was the first mining district in the Americas to be given the title of Royal Mines by Philip II in 1531. Recorded production in modern time - between 1975 and 2004 - was approximately 17 million ounces of silver, according to IMPACT.
Management on July 12 announced initial results from the first area tested as part of a planned 10,000-metre drilling programme at the Royal Mines’ Chivo Silver Shoot, including a new discovery that has been dubbed the Chivo Northeast Zone.
This year’s drilling Zacualpan drilling programme aimed to determine the extent of high-grade silver mineralization at Chivo Silver Shoot for mine planning purposes. Results of an initial drilling programme carried out last year intersected 937g/t silver over 2.7 metres, including 2,380g/t silver and 4.83% zinc over 0.7 metres.
New Production
The company expects to bring prospect into production this year based on the results of this and recent year’s drilling programmes. Latest results there put mineralization at 100-metre horizontal and 220-metre down-dip.
In addition, testing a target zone 120 metres northeast of the Chivo Silver Shoot resulted in the discovery of a new zone of mineralization that management believes may be the margin of a second mineral shoot.
IMPACT field teams in 2005 found a main vein and splay in old mine workings at Chivo, which is located in the southern part of the Zacualpan silver district. Assay results for samples from the western vein yielded 1,095g/t silver and 0.38g/t gold across a 1.25-metre true-width zone in the mine workings and 2,640g/t silver and 1.36g/t gold across 0.85 metres on the surface, according to previously reported results.

IMPACT Silver Corp. in April announced the wholly-owned and royalty-free acquisition of the Nueva Granada and Asturiana prospects within the Veta Grande vein system in the Zacatecas Silver District - an area that it is estimated has yielded some 1.2 billion ounces of silver over the course of mining history there.
The concessions also contain approximately 30,000 tonnes of old mine dumps. Some 12,000 tonnes of rock from these dumps with an average of 220 grams per tonne (g/t) silver was processed at the Veta Grande plant, according to reports from 2003. IMPACT controls the Veta Grande plant through an option to purchase agreement.
With the acquisition of the Nueva Grande and Asturiana concessions, IMPACT controls 17 concessions in the Zacatecas area, part and parcel of management’s strategy to secure prospective properties and long-term ore supplies for its Veta Grande processing plant.
IMPACT & the Chivo Silver Shoot
IMPACT currently produces silver from two mines - Guadelupe and Gallega (Salvadora) - exploiting a “classic Mexican epithermal silver district” at a 500-tonne per day processing plant 100 kilometres southwest of Mexico City at its Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver Project.
Located in another of North America’s oldest mining districts, Zacualpan was the first mining district in the Americas to be given the title of Royal Mines by Philip II in 1531. Recorded production in modern time - between 1975 and 2004 - was approximately 17 million ounces of silver, according to IMPACT.
Management on July 12 announced initial results from the first area tested as part of a planned 10,000-metre drilling programme at the Royal Mines’ Chivo Silver Shoot, including a new discovery that has been dubbed the Chivo Northeast Zone.
This year’s drilling Zacualpan drilling programme aimed to determine the extent of high-grade silver mineralization at Chivo Silver Shoot for mine planning purposes. Results of an initial drilling programme carried out last year intersected 937g/t silver over 2.7 metres, including 2,380g/t silver and 4.83% zinc over 0.7 metres.
New Production
The company expects to bring prospect into production this year based on the results of this and recent year’s drilling programmes. Latest results there put mineralization at 100-metre horizontal and 220-metre down-dip.
In addition, testing a target zone 120 metres northeast of the Chivo Silver Shoot resulted in the discovery of a new zone of mineralization that management believes may be the margin of a second mineral shoot.
IMPACT field teams in 2005 found a main vein and splay in old mine workings at Chivo, which is located in the southern part of the Zacualpan silver district. Assay results for samples from the western vein yielded 1,095g/t silver and 0.38g/t gold across a 1.25-metre true-width zone in the mine workings and 2,640g/t silver and 1.36g/t gold across 0.85 metres on the surface, according to previously reported results.

I spoke with Fred Davidson today and was able to get some updates on the status for IPT. They had so much core coming up from the drilling that they stopped work for a couple of weeks, while the cores were logged and shipped for assay. Only the first batch have been reported and assays are pending for targets at the San Ramon Mine, where IPT hit 27,000 g/t silver last year. Fred thinks they will come out with kilo-grade silver, which is still pretty good, and outline about 100m to depth more in that ore shoot, but he does not think they will be able to report super high grade results. Nonetheless, this new drilling work, plus underground development, will enable the company to put that mine back into production perhaps by the end of the year.
The results from the Chivo Mine are good, and they have decided to put that mine into production. This means we could have 4 mines running by year end. Throughput at the mill is currently running about 300 tpd, more than double the rate of a year ago, and it may be running up to the 500 tpd capacity by the end of the year. Fred thinks they may ultimately have several other mills running on the property in the future as they build the mineral inventory.
The total number of historic workings that have been identified at Zacualpan now exceeds 400 old mines! That is a monumental total, an indication of the intensity of mineralization, and keep in mind that IPT controls the entire district, and have staked an additional area adjacent. They have only been able to really do even basic exploration at maybe 20-30 of these old workings. So the company has targets to keep them busy for decades.
There is a team of geos doing mapping and fieldwork at the new Mamatla Property. There could be a bulk tonnage VMS deposit at this project based on historic drill data and they plan to punch a few holes to confirm the numbers. They have also sampled high gold and copper grades at the edge of the underground workings that indicate a potential gold district that underlies the silver veins near surface. This property amounts to over 200 square kms so lots of opportunity there for many years as well.
cheers!

Sean Rakhimov, der mit Darrell Rader IR für Impact macht, hat das folgende als Vorwort zu der letzten News geschrieben.
Da dürfen wir uns auf (weiterhin) schön steigende Kurse Ende des Jahres freuen.
Hi all,
This is brief update and comments regarding the recent drill results and
latest developments discussed in the press release below.
We are quite excited with the initial drill results from our 10,000m
program. The first batch of holes tested the boundaries of the Chivo Shoot for
mine planning purposes. The holes revealed that the shoot is still open for
expansion to the south along with returning some very strong grades from
the periphery.
The Chivo Mine is now expected to commence operations in
November/December adding a significant boost to our daily production.
As well, the drilling discovered what we believe is the margins of
another high-grade silver shoot located only 120m away from the Chivo. We have
already begun planning a follow up drill program on this target.
As of last week, the drill has almost completed drilling early stage
targets around the Chivo and San Ramon Mines. Once finished, it will move to the
SW sector where it will test some of the very high grade gold/copper veins
and workings that we have found.

Impact Silver Announces Chivo Drill Results
=======================================================================
IMPACT Silver Corp. ("IMPACT") is pleased to announce drill results
from the Chivo Silver Shoot, as well as a new discovery named Chivo
Northeast Zone at the Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver Project, Mexico.
These are the initial results from the first area tested in our 2007
Zacualpan 10,000m drill program.
CHIVO SILVER SHOOT
The Chivo Silver Shoot is located in the southern part of the Zacualpan
silver district. Field sampling by IMPACT personnel in 2005 found a
main vein and splay in old mine workings at Chivo (see news release
dated September 7, 2005). Samples from the western vein assayed
1,095g/t silver and 0.38g/t gold across 1.25m true width in the
workings and 2,640g/t silver and 1.36g/t gold across 0.85m on surface.
Highlights of an initial drill program in 2006 returned an intercept of
937g/t silver over 2.7m including 2,380g/t silver and 4.83% zinc over
0.7m (see news release dated October 12, 2006).
The 2007 drill program at Chivo was designed to test the outer limits
of the high grade silver shoot for mine planning purposes. Significant
results from recent holes drilled at Chivo are as follows:
The other 2007 drill holes successfully delineated the northern and
down dip edges of the zone for mining purposes, as well as determining
that the shoot is still open for expansion to the south. The Chivo
Silver Shoot, as defined to date, measures 100m horizontal and 220m
down dip. Based on the success of this drill program and prior work,
the Chivo Silver Shoot is scheduled to be put into production by the
end of 2007 adding significant volumes to our daily mill throughput.
Mine preparation work and permit applications have already commenced.
CHIVO NORTHEAST ZONE
Three drill holes testing a target 120m to the northeast of the Chivo
Silver Shoot, discovered a significant zone of mineralization that may
be the margin of a second mineral shoot. Initial assays from these
holes returned the following results:
* Silver Equivalent grades listed in the tables of this news release
were calculated as 'in the ground' values, with no provision made for
production or processing recovery allowances. Metal prices used for the
calculations were US$12.00 per ounce silver, US$650 per ounce gold,
US$1.40 per pound zinc and US$1.20 per pound lead.
Presently, very little is known about this target. It is open for
expansion to the northeast and down dip. More drilling is planned for
this new discovery in the near future.

under the meaning of Canadian National Instrument 43-101, are
responsible for the technical content of this news release. Drill core
was NTW size (5.71cm diameter) and BTW size (4.20 cm diameter). Half
core samples were collected with a rock saw, tagged for identification
and securely stored at the IMPACT base camp until shipment. Chip and
channel samples were collected from cleaned rock faces in old mine
workings and from bedrock outcrops over a continuous representative
interval using a moil and hammer. A total of 5% assay standards and
blanks were inserted into every sample shipment as a quality control
measure. All samples were shipped to the ALS Chemex preparation
laboratory in Guadalajara, Mexico, where they were fine crushed (70%
passing a 2mm screen), pulverized (85% passing a 75 micron screen) and
pulp split separated for assay by a riffle splitter. These pulps were
shipped to the ALS Chemex laboratory in North Vancouver, Canada, where
a 30-gram split of each was assayed for gold and silver by standard
fire assay and a 10-gram split was analysed for an additional 30
elements by ICP spectrometry.

the contractor for the drill program, owns 6.6 million shares of
IMPACT.

Impact Silver Announces Drill Results From Yale JV Properties In Zacatecas
=======================================================================
IMPACT Silver Corp. ("IMPACT") is pleased to announce early-stage drill
results from a Phase I surface drill program in Zacatecas. These
results are from the initial exploration of three concessions under
option to Yale Resources (TSX.V: YLL). A total of 16 shallow holes
were drilled to test for near surface silver and base metal
mineralization.
Mina San Jose Concession
The Mina San Jose has at least two veins and covers a 500-meter section
of the principal vein. Four holes were drilled to test below and along
strike of historical workings on the principal vein that returned over
1 kg/t Silver from dump samples. The first hole discovered a
high-grade silver shoot on the vein at a vertical depth of 75m.
Highlights from the drilling include:
DDH .... Interval ....... Length ....... Silver .. Zinc ... Lead
........................ (True Width) .... g/t ..... (%) .. (%)
MSJ-01 . 101.2-102.0 .... 0.8 m (0.65m) . 1,340 ... 1.18% .. 1.23%
MSJ-02 .. 98.9-99.6 ..... 0.7 m (0.66m) .... 52.3 . 1.06% .. 2.00%
MSJ-03 ..120.45-122.6 ... 2.15 m (1.08m) ... 65 ... 0.12% .. 0.14%
Salvador -- Zacatecas Concession
Twelve holes were drilled to test the two principal veins and several
secondary veins on the Salvador-Zacatecas concessions. The drill
intersected a combination of zinc or silver mineralization. Highlights
include:
DDH .... Interval ....... Length ....... Silver .. Zinc ... Lead
........................ (True Width) .... g/t ..... (%) .. (%)
SALVADOR VEIN
SZ-01 .. 90.85-91.5 .... 0.75 m (0.65) ..... 22 ... 2.50% .. 0.19%
SZ-03 .. 74.4-75.4 ..... 1.0 m (0.5) ...... 382 ... 0.40% .. 0.20%
ZACATECAS VEIN
SZ-08 . 102.0-102.7 .... 0.7 m (0.61) ..... 273 ... 0.60% .. 0.17%
SZ-10 . 107.1-109.65 ... 2.55 m (1.08) ..... 34 ... 3.19% .. 0.50%
The veins were all tested at shallow depths. A phase two drill program
is planned in the fall at which time IMPACT also plans Phase 1 drill
programs for some of its other 13 Zacatecas properties. Further work
will be focused on expanding the understanding of the high-grade
mineralization, particularly at Mina San Jose.
Edward Lyons, P.Geo, is the Qualified Person, according to NI 43-101,

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 29.600.802 von falcon23 am 02.06.07 21:58:29Deine 2006 Durchschnittspreise für Zink- und Bleipreise sind ein wenig zu niedrig, für die Berechnung aber völlig ok.
Jedoch rechnet Hansen für 2006 mit einem Silberpreis von $8,75 ($12 erst für 2007 und 2008).
Damit ergeben die $2.740.000 ca. 313.142 Unzen Silber Equivalent.
Zusammen mit dem "echten" Silber kommt so auf ca. 780k Unzen.
Was genau Hansen mit den 80% "Silver as of % Revenue" meint ist mir nicht ganz klar.
Entweder er hat sich verrechnet:
statt mit 465K Unzen Silber hat er 645k gerechnet.
Das ergäbe bei einem Silberpreis von 8,75 dann ca. 5,6 Mio Dollar, was wiederum ca. 80% von den gesamten 7 Mio.
Oder er meint etwas ganz anderes.
