April 8 2009 - Vancouver, British Columbia. IMPACT Silver Corp. (“IMPACT” IPT – TSX.V) is

pleased to announce drill results from an ongoing grid drilling program on the Noche Buena Vein,

located four kilometers southwest of IMPACT’s processing plant and mining operations in the

prolific Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver and Gold District in Mexico. Exploration on this northwesterly

trending, west dipping Silver-Gold vein consists of drill holes spaced on a 50 meter

horizontal and vertical drilling pattern designed to systematically explore and build tonnage.

Results of the latest drill holes are summarized below.

* Holes Z08-70 and -71 were previously announced in a news release dated January 26, 2009.

Hole Z09-12 is particularly encouraging as both the thickness and grade have increased in this

northernmost hole. The enhanced gold values and appearance of the mineralization suggest the

possibility of a mineralizing centre located to the north of these holes, where drilling is currently

under way.

During the drilling of the Noche Buena Vein, a sub-parallel structure that dips at 70 degrees to the

east named Del Pulpo Vein was discovered. It is exposed in a short exploration adit, located about

100 meters to the southeast of Hole Z09-05. The intersection in Z09-05 is interpreted to be 2.06

meters. Lower grade intersections of the Del Pulpo Vein were encountered along strike to the

north.

In summary, the Noche Buena Vein and associated veins have been the subject of historical

mining and exploration efforts in which silver-gold-bearing quartz veins have been encountered

intermittently over one kilometer strike length. It is the intent of the ongoing drill program to

continue exploration in a systematic manner in order to determine vein continuity, thickness and

grade to build mineral inventory as well as discover new veins.
