VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired) — 05/23/13 — IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE: IPT) („IMPACT“ or the „Company“) announces the financial and production results for the first quarter of 2013.
Late in the first quarter of 2013, IMPACT began initial production from both the Cuchara-Oscar Mine and the Capire Mine. Upon commencing initial production, the first 30 days of mining from Cuchara-Oscar and Capire was development muck, with the expectation of mining higher grade material later in 2013. Despite this, IMPACT-s prudent operations resulted in ending the first quarter with positive cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital and a strong working capital balance of $16.8 million.
IMPACT-s President and CEO, Fred Davidson, stated, „Silver production is expected to increase quarter over quarter as we progress through 2013, and with both of the new mines now in initial production, we are able to focus on our next catalyst for growth, Zacualpan-s Mirasol Prospect, which has shown promising exploration results and may be the next mine project“. As part of an ongoing three-part strategy of exploration, development and mine production, IMPACT has established three key objectives to drive production and exploration success in 2013:
