[{"type":"text","content":"IMPACT Silver Drills 4.5 Meters of 280 g/t Silver at Noche Buena\n\n(via Thenewswire.ca)\nApril 8 2009 - Vancouver, British Columbia. IMPACT Silver Corp. (\"IMPACT\" IPT - TSX.V) is pleased to announce drill results from an ongoing grid drilling program on the Noche Buena Vein, located four kilometers southwest of IMPACT's processing plant and mining operations in the prolific Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver and Gold District in Mexico. Exploration on this north-westerly trending, west dipping Silver-Gold vein consists of drill holes spaced on a 50 meter horizontal and vertical drilling pattern designed to systematically explore and build tonnage. Results of the latest drill holes are summarized below.\n\nNOCHE BUENA VEIN - DRILL HOLES \nDRILL HOLE FROM(meters) TO(meters) INTERSECTION(meters) SILVER(g/t) GOLD(g/t) \nSECTION 1100N \nZ09-06 134.32 135.62 1.30 332 0.67 \nIncluding 134.32 134.72 0.40 872 1.20 \nZ09-05 116.08 118.73 2.65 132 0.61 \nSECTION 1150N \nZ08-70* 21.80 30.35 8.55 204 0.24 \nZ08-71* 108.30 112.63 4.33 233 0.70 \nZ09-10 119.85 121.86 2.01 167 0.38 \nSECTION 1200N \nZ09-72 117.57 119.49 1.92 116.46 0.49 \nSECTION 1250N \nZ09-12 51.98 56.52 4.54 280 1.89 \nIncluding 54.54 54.81 0.27 3,600 15.50 \n\n* Holes Z08-70 and -71 were previously announced in a news release dated January 26, 2009.\n\nHole Z09-12 is particularly encouraging as both the thickness and grade have increased in this northernmost hole. The enhanced gold values and appearance of the mineralization suggest the possibility of a mineralizing centre located to the north of these holes, where drilling is currently under way.\n\nDuring the drilling of the Noche Buena Vein, a sub-parallel structure that dips at 70 degrees to the east named Del Pulpo Vein was discovered. It is exposed in a short exploration adit, located about 100 meters to the southeast of Hole Z09-05. The intersection in Z09-05 is interpreted to be 2.06 meters. Lower grade intersections of the Del Pulpo Vein were encountered along strike to the north.\n\nDEL PULPO VEIN - DRILL HOLES \nDRILL HOLE FROM (meters) TO (meters) INTERSECTION (meters) SILVER (g/t) GOLD (g/t) \nSECTION 1100N \nZ09-05 156.34 161.22 4.88 560 0.76 \nIncluding 158.40 159.67 1.27 1355 1.95 \n\nIn summary, the Noche Buena Vein and associated veins have been the subject of historical mining and exploration efforts in w...
