IMPACT Silver posts record 2025 revenue and strong cash position

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2026) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2025. IMPACT is a growing intermediate silver producer with a fully integrated presence across the value chain, encompassing production, development and exploration. In 2025, the Company benefited from strong commodity prices, improving grades and disciplined cost controls, further cementing its position as a significant silver producer within the extensive Royal Mines of Zacualpan mining district in Central Mexico.

The Company reported record revenue of $48.5 million in 2025, representing a substantial 52% increase compared to $31.9 million in FY 2024. Gross profit for Q4 2025 was $6.6 million, and $10.4 million in FY 2025, compared to $1.1 million in Q4 2024 and a loss of $2.2 million in FY 2024. In Q4 2025, revenue from the Zacualpan silver complex generated $15.1 million, a 129% increase compared to Q4 2024, on higher metal prices and improving grades.

Gross profit increased to $8.6 million from $1.1 million over the same period at the operation. At the end of 2025, the Company had cash of $23.7 million, and $4.0 million invested in guaranteed investment certificates with strong working capital of $31.7 million. The Company has no long term debt.

In Q4 2025, there was an indicator of under performance at the Plomosas Zinc Mine, and following an impairment test a $8.8 million impairment loss was recognized. Subsequent to year end, the Company elected to temporarily suspend underground mining at Plomosas while it works toward a more efficient and sustainable operating plan. The Company is in advanced-stage discussions with a nearby third-party mining company to utilize the Plomosas processing plant during the suspension period to generate cash flows.

During the suspension, the Company will continue advancing exploration both underground and at surface across the approximately 6-kilometre prospective trend, as well as focusing on optimizing the mine and geological plans, with the objective of supporting a sustainable restart over the coming quarters. This work is expected to better define higher-quality mineralization and test new exploration targets to support a more robust and better-defined restart. The suspension is also expected to reduce operating costs, preserve capital and improve overall capital efficiency until Plomosas can be restarted under a new sustainable operating plan.

With a strong cash position, and continued positive cash flow from its Zacualpan operations, the Company is well positioned for this transition. After recording the non-cash impairment loss of $8.8 million from Plomosas, and $1.2 million for share-based compensation expense, the net loss YTD 2025 was $10.3 million (the loss before income taxes was $8.3 million), compared to a net loss of $9.8 million in 2024. Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated , "2025 proved to be a milestone year for the Company.

Strengthening metal prices combined with years of sustained exploration activity began to pay dividends at our Zacualpan silver-lead-zinc mining complex, where improving grades and disciplined cost management drove record revenue and profitability. Underpinned by a strong, cash-rich balance sheet with no long-term debt, our continued investment in exploration positions the Company well to capitalize on favourable macroeconomic tailwinds while maintaining an efficient production platform. At the same time, we made the difficult but necessary decision to suspend operations at the Plomosas complex.

Substantial work has been put in place to reduce its drag on the Company's overall financial performance, and we have identified several promising alternatives that we expect will meaningfully benefit the operation and financial performance of the Company in 2026." 2025 PRODUCTION OVERVIEW — ZACUALPAN PROJECT (SILVER-LEAD-ZINC) Silver production in 2025 was 635,778 ounces (2024 - 595,264 ounces). In Q4 2025 silver production improved 17% to 190,253 ounces over Q4 2024. YTD 2025 tonnes milled increased 5% to 143,192.

Revenue per tonne sold improved 60% in 2025 compared to 2024, and by 107% to $391.28 in Q4 2025 compared to $189.34 in Q4 2024. Direct cost per tonne milled increased in 2025 to $153.87 from 143.80 in 2024, and to $156.49 from $146.09 in Q4 2025. Silver sales in 2025 were 636,267 compared to 592,844 ounces in 2024.

Silver sales in Q4 2025 of 190,733 ounces improved by 25% over 152,552 ounces in Q4 2024. Average mill feed silver grade in Q4 2025 improved 9% to 179 grams per tonne (Q4 2024 - 164 grams per tonne). YTD 2025 the grade was 163 grams per tonne up 1% over 2024.

Looking ahead, mine management plans to shift the production mix toward higher-grade silver vein systems, including the new Kena vein, which was announced in 2024. With the recent increase in the price of silver, the Company is also reviewing areas of slightly lower grades to incrementally add to production. Additionally, a focused program of definition and step-out drilling is expected to provide additional feed from the San Ramon, Carlos Pacheco, Noche Buena and Guadalupe mines.

PLOMOSAS PROJECT Following the acquisition of the Plomosas high grade zinc-lead-silver mine in April 2023, the Company embarked on an aggressive rehabilitation program to bring the mine back online. In Q4 2025, despite a number of operating issues that impacted production including local poor ground conditions which caused the relocation of the mine's decline, the mine was able to produce 9,171 tonnes at an average grade of 8.3% Zn, 4.7% Pb and 34.0 g/t Ag, bringing the YTD mill throughput to 46,875 tons, representing a 20% increase over YTD 2024 production. Under the current mine plan, continued mining was not expected to deliver sustainable economic results without requirements for additional development capital.

As a result, the Company has elected to temporarily suspend underground mining while it works toward a more efficient and sustainable operating plan. In Q1 2026, the Company entered into discussions with other nearby mining companies where their mill feed could be processed in the Plomosas mill to generate cash flows. During the suspension period, the Company will focus on updating its geological model, as well as optimizing and redesigning the mine plan and development, and will continue exploration underground, as well as surface exploration on the balance of its property, including pursuing a number of mineralized targets including Mina Juarez, Mine Mexico, Alfoncitos and the La Chona Au-Cu target.

GOING FORWARD Management believes the Company is well positioned to capitalize on years of disciplined exploration activity, rigorous cost controls, and operational efficiencies, all against a backdrop of strengthening commodity prices. At the flagship Zacualpan silver-lead-zinc property, higher-grade production combined with continued investment in the exploration and development of recently discovered high-grade vein systems is expected to drive sustained financial performance, as reflected in the Q4 2025 segmented results. Efforts are also ongoing to optimize gold production through a multi-mine feed strategy across the property, while management continues to evaluate strategic options for the historic Capire open-pit silver mine to capitalize on favourable silver market conditions.

Underpinned by a strong balance sheet, 2026 is positioned to build on a solid foundation, advancing shareholder value through improved grades, increased production, and continued exploration success.
