(\"IMPACT\") is pleased to announce the initial results from a 1,500-meter Phase I drill program at the Santa Lucia Mining Camp located 3.7 kilometers southeast of IMPACT's operating processing plant in the prolific Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold District of central Mexico. Detailed geological mapping and soil sampling by IMPACT outlined a variety of high-grade silver targets consisting of old mine workings and outcropping veins along a northwesterly trending structural corridor. Summarized below are results from some of the initial drill holes from this prospective area:\nSUMMARY OF SANTA LUCIA DRILL INTERSECTIONS \nDRILL HOLE VEIN NAME FROM (m) TO (m) INTERVAL (m) SILVER (g/t) GOLD (g/t) \nSECTION 1450N \nZ09-34 EL CAGUILOTE 155.43 156.63 1.20 159.5 0.02 \nSECTION 1550N \nZ09-35* EL YOYOTE UPPER 69.94 70.54 0.60 871.0 0.04 \nZ09-35* EL YOYOTE MAIN 81.42 82.85 1.43 600.1 0.08 \nZ09-35* EL YOYOTE MAIN 82.16 82.85 0.69 893.0 0.15 \nZ09-37* EL YOYOTE UPPER 73.2 73.77 0.57 1,905.0 0.15 \nZ09-37* EL YOYOTE MAIN 81.22 82.35 1.13 196.0 0.01 \n*Three holes (Z09-35, 36, and 37) on Section 1550N were lost to underground workings in an area where old large production stopes are located with the reported assays representing remnant veins in the hanging wall.Drilling is currently underway to define structural zones where greater vein thicknesses can be found. The Santa Lucia Mining Camp is one of several dozen historic mining camps located within IMPACT's extensive land holdings in the Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold District. According to the local residents, mining activities have been carried out in the Santa Lucia area over the last 200 years exploiting the higher-grade veins in gambusino fashion. IMPACT became aware of this area after a series of rock samples collected during a soil sampling/prospecting program revealed a northwest trending 650 meters long silver-gold-lead-zinc soil anomaly with multiple rock sample values greater than 500 g/t Silver. Summarized below are some of the more interesting drill targets for the Santa Lucia area.\nOLD MIN...
