*Zinc Equivalent (ZnEq) is calculated using recent metal prices of US$1.47/lb Zn, US$0.92/lb Pb and US$50.44/oz Ag, and metal recoveries of 90.5% Zn, 76.5% Pb, and 85.0% Ag based on recent Plomosas production mill recoveries. Metal equivalence values allow for easier comparison of mineral zones with multiple metals reporting.
True width estimates are interpreted from current geological models. The Juarez Zone lies stratigraphically below the Mina Vieja (Tres Amigos Mine) horizon at the Plomosas Mine and has a separate access adit (see Figures 2 & 3). All these Juarez Zone drill intersections lie outside the JORC mineral resource blocks published by the previous operator (see IMPACT news release dated April 3, 2023 for details). Juarez Zone mineralization remains open for exploration.
CEO STATEMENT
President and CEO Frederick Davidson commented, “We are pleased with these new high-grade drill intersections on extensions of the Juarez Zone adding mineralization for ongoing mining. The location of these intersections on extensions of our underground mining infrastructure allows us to readily expand our mining operations into these areas. We now have two drills testing extensions of near mine targets and have begun to carry out exploration drilling on other targets along the under-explored six kilometre CRD trend.”
PLOMOSAS MINE GEOLOGY AND MINERALIZATION
The Plomosas mine, a historic high-grade zinc producer in northern Mexico (Figure 1), was acquired in 2023 by the Company. Recent drill programs have been undertaken on extensions of active mine areas in the Tres Amigos Zone, the Juarez Zone and Santo Domingo Zone (see Figure 2). Mineralization at the Plomosas mine occurs as zinc-rich Carbonate Replacement zones in three bedrock units – the Mina Vieja marble (Tres Amigos Zone), the Juarez limestone (Juarez Zone) and in carbonate layers within the Cuesta Shale (Santo Domingo Zone) – where structural ground preparation along these units accommodated concentrations of zinc, lead, and silver (see Figure 3).

Quality Control/Quality Assurance
Drill core was NTW size (5.71 cm diameter). Half core samples were collected with a rock saw and tagged for identification. All samples were securely stored at the Plomosas Mine until shipment. A total of 5% certified assay standards and 5% blanks were inserted into every sample shipment as a quality control measure. All samples were shipped to the ALS preparation laboratory in Chihuahua, Mexico, where they were fine crushed (70% passing a 2 mm screen), pulverized (85% passing a 75 micron screen) and pulp split separated for assay. These pulps were shipped to the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver, Canada, where a 10 gram split was aqua regia digested and then analyzed for 36 elements including zinc, lead and silver by ICP-AES spectrometry (ALS code ME-ICP41). Assays for base metals >1% used an overlimit ICP-AES method (ALS code OG46). ALS is an independent, international ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory.
