Impact Silver (1)

Impact Silver Corp reported a record financial year in 2025, supported by strong operational performance at its core Zacualpan asset. Total revenue reached USD 48.5 million, reflecting solid growth compared to the previous year. However, the company remained loss making, with a net loss of about USD 10.3 million and a basic loss per share of CAD 0.04. The overall performance was influenced by improved grades and higher realized prices, while non cash adjustments impacted final profitability.

The results highlight a clear operational recovery trend, particularly at Zacualpan, which continued to strengthen output and revenue generation. At the same time, the Plomosas project weighed on financial outcomes due to an impairment charge and temporary suspension of underground mining activities. Despite these challenges, the company maintained a strong liquidity position and remained debt free, which supports ongoing exploration and operational flexibility.

Company Overview

Impact Silver Corp is a silver producer and explorer focused on Mexico, operating two main projects. The Royal Mines of Zacualpan silver gold district in central Mexico remains the primary revenue driver, while the Plomosas zinc lead silver project in northern Mexico is undergoing strategic reassessment. The company holds full ownership of a large land package at Zacualpan, where multiple underground mines and processing facilities support continuous production.

Over nearly two decades, the company has produced around 14 million ounces of silver and generated cumulative revenue exceeding USD 322 million. As of the end of 2025, it reported cash holdings of USD 23.7 million along with USD 4.0 million in investment certificates and working capital of USD 31.7 million. This financial strength, combined with no long term debt, provides a stable base for future growth initiatives.

Overall Assessment

The overall financial profile reflects strong operational progress alongside ongoing profitability challenges. Record revenue, improved production, and higher gross profit demonstrate positive momentum. However, net losses, impairment charges, and operational constraints at Plomosas continue to impact overall results.

The outlook remains cautiously positive, supported by a strong liquidity position of USD 27.7 million, no debt obligations, and continued focus on exploration and grade improvement. Future performance will depend on sustained operational efficiency and successful optimization of underperforming assets.
