IMPACT Silver Expands Capire Deposit, Mexico
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/17/11 -- IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE: IPT) ("IMPACT" or "the Company") is pleased to announce additional drill results for the planned open pit Capire mine in the 200-square-kilometer Mamatla Mineral District, in central Mexico. Results from this expansion drilling have begun to outline additional mineralization to the north and southeast beyond the limits of the previously defined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources totaling 7.2 million ounces silver, 30,446 ounces gold, 95.6 million lbs zinc and 37.2 million lbs lead (see IMPACT Silver news release dated February 1, 2011 for details ()). Highlights from recent drilling include the following:
Other holes completed during this phase of drilling may also contribute to expanding the mineralized zone. Initial assays from this drill program included 304g/t silver, 4.51g/t gold, 1.52% lead, 3.05% zinc and 0.49% copper across 5.0m (see IMPACT Silver news release dated May 24, 2011 for details ()). IMPACT engineers are now studying the possibility of expanding the open pit plan to incorporate these new drill results. The zone remains open for further expansion.
The Capire Project is in the mine planning and permitting stage with initial pilot plant production scheduled to start in late 2011. Production plans at Capire are to first install a 200-tonne-per-day pilot plant (already purchased) to optimize mining and processing parameters toward planning for a larger operation in the future. Surface rights for all mining areas, tailings dam and the processing plant have been acquired. Condemnation drilling under the plant site, tailings dam and rock waste piles has been completed in preparation for mine and plant construction. When in production, Capire will be the Company's fourth active mining operation and represents a new production district. The orientation and shallow depth from surface of the mineralization will allow for open pit mining of a portion of the zone. The project is located 16 kilometers southwest of the Company's other active mining and processing operations in the Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver District.
