(TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) (\"IMPACT\" or the\n\"Company\") is pleased to announce the planned upgrade and restart of its\nCapire mill located 16 kilometres southwest of its current Guadalupe complex\noperations at Zacualpan. This represents a significant growth initiative which\nis expected to potentially increase the Company's overall production capacity\nto almost 700 tpd (tonnes per day), including the nearby legacy Zacualpan\nGuadalupe mill (500 tpd) that has been in operation for over 20 years.\n\nCapire: A Processing Opportunity for Gold-Dominant Mineralization\n\nIMPACT has commenced a program to upgrade the Capire plant to treat\nunderground feed from the Noche Buena Complex, consisting of mineral from the\nCarlos Pacheo, San Juan and San Franciso veins. Due to the better grades of\nthe mill feed from the Noche Buena Complex, this program is being given\npriority over the potential re-start of mining in the open pit adjacent to the\nCapire mill. The recent gold-dominant Carlos Pacheco vein discovery (see\nIMPACT news releases dated April 21, 2026 and June 15. 2026) is an important\ndriver of this opportunity. The upgraded Capire circuit would recover gold\ninto precious-metal-rich separate concentrates of copper, lead and zinc\nproviding a treatment route better suited to this mineralization than\nprocessing in the Guadalupe mill. Metallurgical work supports this approach,\nwith further testing and engineering focused on enhancing recoveries under\noperating conditions.\n\nThe operation would complement the existing Zacualpan milling activities.\nManagement's plan is to maintain Zacualpan's current operating profitability\nwhile directing suitable gold and copper -bearing material to Capire for\ntreatment through a dedicated circuit. When in operation, Capire would provide\nan incremental source of revenue and enhance overall Company viability.\n\nCurrent work is focused on optimizing the mine plan and feed availability,\nrefining metallurgy, initiating a capital program to modify the Capire mill\nand add infrastructure at both the Noche Buena mines and the Capire mill site,\nnegotiating concentrate sales terms, and optimizing mineral transportation\ncosts.\n\nCurrent planning contemplates the start of processing at Capire to commence in\nthe second half of 2027. Timing remains subject to completion of technical and\ncommercial evaluations and preparations, confirmation of onsite infrastructure\nand applicable authorizations, capital approval and execution of the\ndevelopment program.\n\nThe Company's existing Zacualpan operations remain the central operating\npriority. Capire is being evaluated as a complementary satellite development\nopportunity, with mine planning and feed allocation intended to support both\noperations.\n\n\"Capire offers an opportunity to capture more value from the gold-bearing\nmineralization in our district using some of our existing infrastructure,\"\nsaid Fred Davidson, CEO. \"Our objective is to add profitable production at\nCapire alongside our Zacualpan operations and give our operations flexibility\nin treating diverse sources of mill feed. With a strong balance sheet, and\nyear to date generation of positive cash flow, the Capire project will be\nfunded by IMPACT's working capital.\"\n\nPlomosas: Exploration and Feed Opportunities\n\nFollowing the suspension of underground mining announced in March 2026, IMPACT\nevaluated third-party feed opportunities to support continued operation of the\nPlomosas processing plant.\n\nAt September 30, 2026, there were no third-party feed arrangements in place\nthat could economically support ongoing production. Consequently, the Company\nhas decided to transition the Plomosas plant to care and maintenance, with\nactivities directed toward maintaining permits and environmental\nauthorizations, safeguarding the tailings facility and preserving the\nprocessing infrastructure, while continuing its exploration program as well as\ndiscussions with potential third-party mill feed suppliers.\n\nThe extensive exploration program on the Plomosas concessions hopes to\nidentify and delineate additional mineralization that could provide future\nfeed for the plant. The objective is to establish sufficient tonnage, grade\nand continuity to support evaluation of a sustainable restart of mining and\nprocessing operations.\n\nAs a result, the Company has determined that a non-cash impairment charge of\napproximately $4.3 million should be recorded in Q3 2026, reducing the\ncarrying value of the Plomosas property, plant and equipment accordingly. This\ncharge will not impact the Company's cash balance. The final impairment amount\nwill be confirmed in the Q3 2026 financial statements.\n\n\"At Plomosas\", said Fred Davidson, CEO, \"we are preserving the facility while\nadvancing exploration and pursuing third-party feed opportunities. Future\noperating commitments will depend on establishing a reliable supply of\neconomic material on acceptable commercial terms.\"\n\nQualified Person and NI 43-101 Disclosure\n\nGeorge Gorzynski, P.Eng., is a \"Qualified Person\" within the meaning of NI\n43-101 and has approved the technical information contained in this news\nrelease.\n\nABOUT IMPACT SILVER\n\nIMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) is a successful producer-explorer in Mexico.\n*\nRoyal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold Mine: IMPACT owns 100% of over 200 km2 of\nhighly prospective ground at Zacualpan in central Mexico where four producing\nunderground silver mines and one open pit mine feed the central 500 tpd\nGuadalupe processing plant. Over the past 20 years, IMPACT has developed\nmultiple exploration zones into commercial production and has produced\napproximately 14 million ounces of silver, generating revenue of more than\n$322 million, with no long-term debt.\n*\nTo the south, the Capire Project includes a 200 tpd processing pilot plant\nadjacent to an open pit silver mine where which is being reviewed for a\npotential restart of operations. An upgrade to the Capire Mill is currently\nunderway to process mill feed from the newly developing Noche Buena mine\ncomplex. At this time, this will take priority over the advancement of the\nadjacent Capire open pit. The upgrade of the Capire mill will increase total\nmilling capacity and the capability of handling more diverse mill feed in the\nZacualpan district.\n\nPlomosas Zinc Project: Plomosas is a high-grade zinc project in northern\nMexico with exploration upside potential. The Company has put the Plomosas\nplant and mine on care and maintenance while it continues its exploration\nprogram and discussions with potential third-party mill feed suppliers, and at\nthe same time is assessing arrangements that could support an economically\nsustainable restart. Exploration potential at Plomosas lies along a long 6 km\nstructure. This is in addition to other exploration targets on the\n3,019-hectare property including untested copper-gold targets with indications\nof high-grade material at surface. Regionally, Plomosas lies in the same\nmineral belt as some of the largest carbonate replacement deposits in the\nworld.\n\nAdditional information about IMPACT and its operations can be found on the\nCompany website at www.IMPACTSilver.com.
