Fred Davidson, President and CEO of IMPACT Silver states “We are pleased to welcome two notable institutional investors into IMPACT Silver. Trafigura has collaborated with IMPACT for many years and this investment signifies their commitment to long-term support with us both at Guadalupe, Plomosas, and beyond. With Palisades Goldcorp, they have been instrumental in building multiple hundred-million-dollar-midcap gold companies and we are pleased to have them participating in this financing.”
The financing will be under the (LIFE) of National Instrument 45-106, Prospectus Exemptions, and other private placement exemptions under NI 45-106. The LIFE portion of the Offering is referred to in this news release as the "LIFE Offering". The Company intends to raise gross proceeds of up to $1,750,000 from the sale of up to 8,750,000 units (the "LIFE Units") at a price of $0.20 per LIFE Unit, and up to $1,750,000 from the sale of up to 9,722,222 standard private placement units (the "Standard PP Units") at $0.18 per Standard PP Unit. Each LIFE Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one half common share purchase warrant (each whole such warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.26 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from its date of issue. Each Standard PP Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one full Warrant, with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Warrant Share at a price of $0.24 per Warrant Share for a period of 36 months from its date of issue.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to accelerate exploration activity at its Plomosas high-grade zinc-lead-silver property located in Chihuahua, Mexico, further develop its prolific silver assets at its legacy Royal Mines of Zacualpan district, as well as invest in operational improvements to improve productivity and throughput as the price of silver nears 52-week highs. Exploration activities include sampling, target definition, and drilling with the intention of expanding the existing JORC mineral resource at Plomosas, where only 600m of the 6-kilometre-long structure has been tested. The region is known for hosting some of the largest carbonate replacement deposits in the world. As such, the Company intends to allocate a portion of the proceeds to continue development and grow production at the Plomosas high-grade zinc deposit as zinc prices continue to outperform[GG1] on the back of forecasted supply deficits.
Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions, the LIFE Offering is being made pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"). The securities offered under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will not be subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. There is an offering document (the "Offering Document") related to the LIFE Offering that can be accessed under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at www.impactsilver.com. Prospective investors should read this Offering Document before making an investment decision.
The Offering is scheduled to close on or about the week of May 15, 2025 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The Company may pay finder's fees or commissions on a portion of the Offering, subject to compliance with the policies of the Exchange and applicable securities legislation. All common shares and Warrants issued as part of the Standard PP Units will bear a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
