[{"type":"text","content":"\nIMPACT SILVER 2009 MINE DEVELOPMENT AND EXPLORATION SUMMARY\n\n\n Jan. 20, 2010 (TheNewswire.ca) -- IMPACT Silver Corp. (\"IMPACT\") is pleased to provide a summary of its 2009 new mine development and exploration activities at the Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver District (\"Zacualpan\") and the adjacent Mamatla Mineral District (\"Mamatla\") in central Mexico. The Zacualpan and Mamatla Districts consist of a large combined 472-square-kilometer package of 100% owned mineral concessions with wholly-owned operating mines and a processing plant rated at 500 tonnes-per-day. The continued success of the exploration and development work contributed to the ongoing expansion of mining operations and mineral resources. Information on mine production will follow later with release of final 2009 financial statements.FIRST NI43-101 COMPLIANT RESOURCES DEFINED AT CAPIRE AND AURORA 1In November 2009, IMPACT announced the first NI43-101-compliant mineral resource estimates for the Capire and Aurora 1 Zones located in the Mamatla Mineral District. The adjacent Capire-Aurora 1 Deposits are currently in the mine planning and economic assessment stage. If a positive production decision is made, they would represent IMPACT's sixth mining operation in the Zacualpan and Mamatla Districts. They are located 16 kilometers southwest of IMPACT's active mining and processing operations at Zacualpan. Both zones remain open for expansion. Infill and expansion drilling on both zones is now in progress.A summary by zone of the total classified Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources inventory and separately, Inferred Mineral Resources, based on a US$20/tonne In Ground Metal Value envelope is as follows:Summary Table Classified Mineral Resources - Measured + Indicated and Separate Inferred\nDomain Classification Tonnes Ag Au Cu Pb Zn \n (g/t) (g/t) (%) (%) (%) \nCapire Measured + Indicated 3,114,488 52.31 0.202 0.07 0.39 1.02 \nAurora 1 Measured + Indicated 1,215,798 52.07 0.201 0.08 0.46 0.92 \nGrand Total Measured + Indicated 4,330,286 52.24 0.201 0.07 0.41 0.99 \n \nCapire Inferred 218,617 49.41 0.188 0.06 0.35 0.94 \nAurora 1 Inferred 85,836 46.89 0.166 0.07 0.38 0.88 \nGrand Total Total Inferred 304,453 48.7 0.182 0.07 0.36 0.92 \nThese combined Capire and Aurora 1 measured and indicated mineral resource estimates total 7.2 million ounces silver, 94.3 m...
