=======================================================================
Re: News Release - Thursday, March 14, 2013
IMPACT Silver Corp.
Announces Commissioning of the new Capire
Production Centre in Mexico
=======================================================================
IMPACT Silver Corp.
("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce
the start of preliminary operations at its second production centre in
Mexico, the new Capire Production Centre ("Capire").
The open-pit
Capire mine and pilot processing operation is located in northern
Guerrero State in south-central Mexico.
Construction of the 200 tpd
(tonne-per-day) pilot plant is now complete and first concentrate
shipments are expected within the second quarter of 2013.
The Capire Production Centre hosts an initial 200 tpd flotation circuit
pilot plant, with the objective to significantly expand processing
operations in the future.
The purpose of the 200 tpd pilot plant and
mining operation is to determine the future production costs and
cut-off grades for a possible larger plant and provide near-term
operating cash flow.
Production revenues are projected to come from
silver with zinc, lead, gold and possibly copper byproducts.
Exploration drilling is continuing both to expand the Capire deposit
and to test nearby satellite silver prospects.
A minimum 10,000 meter
drill program is planned for the Capire area in 2013.
Among other
factors, the level of drilling success through 2013 and into 2014 will
determine the size of the future plant expansion.
The main mineralized
zones in the Capire area are volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) base
metal deposits with elevated silver values (see IMPACTs Updated N1
43-101 Report on Mineral Resources of the Capire-Aurora1 Project dated
January 28, 2011 at www.sedar.com for details).
Infrastructure is good throughout the Capire area with gravel road
networks, gentle topography, a new electric power line, water supplies
and a local work force augmented by personnel from IMPACTs Royal Mines
of Zacualpan Silver Production Center, located a 40 minute drive to the
north.
Photos chronicling the development of the Capire Mine and
Processing Plant are available on the Company website at
www.IMPACTSilver.com.

IMPACT is a profitable silver mining company with two production
centres in Mexico, the Guadalupe and the Capire.
At Guadalupe, the
Companys 100% owned and operated underground silver mines feed a
central 500 tpd processing plant located within the historic Royal
Mines of Zacualpan Silver District.
The recent commencement of
production at the underground Cuchara-Oscar Mine at Guadalupe and the
start of preliminary operations at the open-pit Capire Mine represent
the next phase of significant production growth for the Company, with
the objective of ultimately establishing IMPACT as a multimillion-ounce
silver producer.
IMPACT also holds a 17.29% shareholding in Defiance
Silver Corp., which is advancing the Companys 200 tpd processing plant
and mineral concessions to production in the Zacatecas Silver District
in Mexico.
