Impact Silver Announces Q1 2025 Financial Results with Near-Doubling of Revenue & Positive EBITDA of $1.0 Million

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 27, 2025) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTC PINK: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") announces its financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company is pleased to report revenue of $10.7 million for Q1 2025, double the $5.3 million reported in Q1 2024. This significant increase was driven by the commencement of new production at the Plomosas mine and higher commodity prices. EBITDA for Q1 2025 was $1.0 million, marking a strong recovery from the negative $3.6 million in Q1 2024. Net loss for the quarter was $0.1 million, a notable improvement compared to the net loss of $4.4 million in the same period last year. This reflects a substantial year-over-year improvement, as inflationary pressures on costs eased and commodity prices remained strong, supported by a higher aggregate production volumes. At quarter-end, the Company had $6.6 million in cash and no structured debt. In 2024, the Company has revised its accounting policies for early-stage exploration. This change has been applied retrospectively, resulting in $0.8 million in exploration costs being expensed in Q1 2025 and $1.2 million in Q1 2024. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company announced an equity financing of up to $5.0 million. Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated, "Following several years of mine rehabilitation and aggressive exploration, along with ongoing efforts to manage inflationary cost pressures, I'm pleased to see our first-quarter results reflect the strength of having two high-performing assets operating at, or near full capacity. The team's continued focus on maintaining positive net operating income profitability has now delivered positive results for the second consecutive quarter. With both operations online and production continuing to grow, we expect 2025 to reflect our commitment to delivering value to shareholders in a strong commodity price environment supported by streamlined and efficient operations." Q1 2025 Review Zacualpan Silver-Lead-Zinc Operation In Q1 2025, the Guadalupe mill processed 35,012 tonnes of mill feed at the Zacualpan/Guadalupe complex, representing a 10% increase from 31,735 tonnes in Q1 2024. This improvement reflects a recovery in throughput following the extreme weather event in September, which had caused power outages from the Mexican grid and washouts along key haul roads. Silver production at the Guadalupe complex totaled 149,449 ounces in Q1 2025, up 9% from 137,291 ounces in the same period last year. Silver sales also rose by 10% year-over-year. The average silver head grade declined slightly by 2% to 157 grams per tonne (g/t), compared to 161 g/t in Q1 2024. Revenue per tonne sold increased significantly, rising 50% to $202.37 in Q1 2025 from $134.59 in Q1 2024, while direct costs per tonne remained largely stable, increasing only 3% to $132.32 from $128.12. Plomosas Zinc-Lead-Silver Operation In Q1 2025, the mine processed 14,265 tonnes, a significant increase from 3,594 tonnes in Q1 2024. Average grades in Q1 2025 were 11.0% zinc, 7.7% lead, and 48 grams per tonne (g/t) silver. Sales for the quarter totaled 1,008 tonnes of zinc, 213 tonnes of lead, and over 12,087 ounces of silver. Following nearly 18 months of rehabilitation work-including mobile equipment, processing facilities, infrastructure, and the underground mine-production has expanded substantially. Initial exploration and development have focused on readily accessible mineralization; however, longer-term initiatives are also progressing to evaluate underexplored areas of the property. These efforts include the reinterpretation of historical Induced Polarization, Magnetic, and Gravitational surveys, as well as a new reconnaissance exploration program. As a result of recent exploration success, the Plomosas team has begun mining the "Mina Juárez" area, where extensions of historical workings by previous operators have been successfully delineated. The production ramp-up has been both successful and consistent. Average daily throughput increased from approximately 39 tonnes per day (tpd) in Q1 2024 to 159 tpd in Q1 2025. The Company remains on track to achieve the targeted design capacity of 200 tpd later in 2025. Outlook Management believes the Company is now well positioned as an established intermediate producer, offering investors exposure to a diversified basket of strategic defensive and critical metals, supported by strong demand fundamentals. Having successfully transitioned from a period of mine rehabilitation and operational adjustments; the Company has effectively doubled in size in under two years. While silver remains a core focus, increasing zinc and gold production is expected to further expand the Company's market presence and enhance shareholder value. The Company is currently negotiating new offtake agreements with partners eager to secure long-term supply. Ongoing exploration across both assets is expected to support continued improvements in project economics and operational performance. A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the quarter ended March 31, 2025 will be available on the Company website on May 28, 2025 at The information in this news release should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis, available on the Company website at and on SEDAR at All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. ABOUT IMPACT SILVER IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) is a successful producer-explorer with two mining projects in Mexico. Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold District: IMPACT owns 100% of the 211 km2 Zacualpan Project in central Mexico where four producing underground silver mines and one open pit mine feed the central 500 tpd Guadalupe processing plant. To the south, the Capire Project includes a 200 tpd processing pilot plant adjacent to an open pit silver mine with an NI 43-101 inferred mineral resource of over 4.5 million ounces silver, 48 million lbs zinc and 21 million lbs lead (see IMPACT news release dated January 18, 2016, for details and QP statement). Company engineers are reviewing Capire for a potential restart of operations to leverage improving commodity prices. Over the past 18 years, IMPACT has developed multiple exploration zones into commercial production and has produced over 13 million ounces of silver, generating revenue of more than $284 million, with no long-term debt. Plomosas Zinc-Lead-Silver District: Plomosas is a high-grade zinc producer in northern Mexico with exceptional exploration upside potential. The Company recently restarted mining operations and is ramping up production toward design capacity levels. Exploration potential at Plomosas is exceptional along the 6 km-long structure. This is in addition to other exploration targets on the 3,019 hectare property including untested copper-gold targets with indications of high-grade material at surface. Regionally, Plomosas lies in the same mineral belt as some of the largest carbonate replacement deposits in the world.

ECU Health opens IMPACT clinic for pregnant women battling addiction

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — ECU Health announces the opening of the IMPACT (Integrated Model of Perinatal Addiction Care and Treatment) Clinic. This clinic will offer a new outpatient addiction medicine clinic dedicated to providing specialized care for pregnant individuals facing substance use disorders. It will be located within the high-risk clinic at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University and will be the first and only clinic of its kind in eastern North Carolina. 'We know that perinatal substance use disorder is a medical disease–not a moral failing,' Obstetrician-Gynecologist, Addiction Medicine Provider and Clinical Assistant Professor at ECU Health and the Brody School of Medicine, Dr. David H. Ryan said. 'Many individuals facing this challenge are eager to seek treatment but struggle to access the care they need due to stigma and systemic barriers. The IMPACT Clinic will provide a supportive and comprehensive approach to treatment, helping patients navigate recovery while receiving essential medical and prenatal care.' The goal of the IMPACT Clinic is to improve outcomes for those who are pregnant in North Carolina where substance-related morality rates are an issue. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services from 2019-2020 says that one in four maternal deaths are attributed to unintentional overdose. ECU Health will become the sixth program in the state to offer dedicated OBGYN addiction care. 'Access to specialized health care is often limited in rural communities, and ECU Health is working to change that,' Chief Operating Officer, ECU Health, Brian Floyd said. 'By establishing the IMPACT Clinic, we are expanding essential addiction treatment and maternal health services in eastern North Carolina, ensuring that pregnant women receive expert, compassionate care without having to travel long distances. Initiatives like the IMPACT Clinic support our mission and help us build the national model for academic rural health care.' The clinic will start seeing patients on May 7, 2025, through referrals from OBGYN providers, which include private practices and health departments. For more information about the IMPACT clinic, please call 252-744-2350. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Altimmune Inc (ALT) Q1 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Financial Strength and Strategic Developments

Cash Position: Ended Q1 2025 with $150 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, up from $132 million at year-end 2024. ATM Facility: Raised $35 million net in Q1 2025, with an additional $16 million since April 1. Credit Facility: Entered into a $100 million credit facility with Hercules Capital, with $15 million funding at closing and additional tranches available. R&D Expenses: $15.8 million for Q1 2025, down from $21.5 million in Q1 2024. G&A Expenses: $6 million for Q1 2025, up from $5.3 million in Q1 2024. Net Loss: $19.6 million or $0.26 per share for Q1 2025, compared to $24.4 million or $0.34 per share in Q1 2024. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with ALT. Release Date: May 13, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Altimmune Inc (NASDAQ:ALT) is optimistic about the upcoming readout of their IMPACT Phase 2b NASH trial, expecting to achieve key efficacy and safety objectives. The company has entered into a $100 million credit facility with Hercules Capital, enhancing financial flexibility for the development of pemvidutide. Altimmune Inc (NASDAQ:ALT) is expanding its clinical trials to include alcohol use disorder (AUD) and alcohol liver disease (ALD), addressing significant unmet medical needs. The company reported a strong cash position, ending the first quarter with $150 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. Altimmune Inc (NASDAQ:ALT) is preparing for a Phase 3 trial in NASH, with plans to hold an end of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2025. The company faces risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements. R&D expenses decreased from $21.5 million in Q1 2024 to $15.8 million in Q1 2025, which might indicate reduced investment in research and development. Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $19.6 million, indicating ongoing financial challenges. The company is still in the process of rereading biopsies for the IMPACT trial, which could affect the timeline and outcomes. There is uncertainty regarding the placebo response rate in the IMPACT trial, which could impact the trial's success. Q: Can you provide commentary on the distribution of F2 and F3 in the Phase 2b population and how representative it is compared to other successful Phase 2b studies? A: We are in the final stages of rereading the biopsies, so we can't provide precise numbers yet. However, the demographics, including age, sex, F2/F3 distribution, and other characteristics, are very similar to other studies, making our data meaningful and comparable. - Scott Harris, Chief Medical Officer Q: What is the ideal patient population for pemvidutide in MASH, and are there any partnership opportunities being considered? A: We are targeting MASH with obesity, as 80-90% of MASH patients are obese. Pemvidutide addresses both obesity and liver fibrosis, offering a comprehensive treatment. Regarding partnerships, we are open to discussions but are prepared to move forward with Phase 3 development independently. - Vipin Garg, Chief Executive Officer Q: How are discontinuations being handled in the study, and what is the expected placebo response range? A: Discontinuations are being managed well, and we are pleased with the data so far. Placebo responses have varied widely in past trials, but with our methodology, we expect to see a placebo response rate between 7% and 13%. - Scott Harris, Chief Medical Officer Q: How important is weight loss in the study, and what weight loss should be expected compared to semaglutide? A: Weight loss is crucial, especially for patients with obesity and cardiovascular risks. We expect clinically significant weight loss similar to semaglutide, which showed about 10% weight loss at 72 weeks. Our 24-week results should be comparable, providing a complete solution for MASH. - Scott Harris, Chief Medical Officer Q: What are the plans for Phase 3, and how might the development timeline be shortened? A: We are considering using a higher dose in Phase 3 for better weight loss and potentially having a six-month endpoint to accelerate the timeline. We plan to discuss these options with the FDA in the fourth quarter. - Scott Harris, Chief Medical Officer For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA is back in Bangkok

In a world where oat milk has outlived common sense and lab-grown salmon is no longer the stuff of science fiction, it seems only fitting that the food world's most elaborate trade show is doubling down on reinvention. There are trade shows, and then there's THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA, bringing with it an unsettling number of buzzwords, ambitious chefs and alternative proteins. From May 27-31 at IMPACT, Muang Thong Thani, the region's most sprawling food and beverage gathering is set to occupy Bangkok's cavernous exhibition halls, with over 3,100 companies hawking everything from drinks, fine food, food technology, frozen food, fruits and vegetables, meat, rice, seafood and sweets and confectionery – and if you're wondering what that actually includes, you can check right here. It's all orchestrated by Thailand's Department of International Trade Promotion, the Thai Chamber of Commerce and German events heavyweight Koelnmesse. Expect 90,000 industry visitors, 2,000 serious buyers, and a rotating cast of regional policymakers, trend forecasters and flavour evangelists. This year's iteration casts its net wider, welcoming newcomers from Central Asia to Eastern Europe, with fresh national pavilions from Australia, Hong Kong and the Netherlands. The theme? 'Beyond Food Experience' – a catch-all phrase for the industry's growing obsession with functionality and virtue. Expect edible optimism in the form of gut-friendly sodas, brain-boosting snacks and plant-based proteins that swear they taste like the real thing. It's food reimagined not just to nourish, but to align with whatever lifestyle, identity or algorithm we're currently subscribing to. Standouts include the Trend Zone, partnered with Innova Market Insights (a sort of crystal ball for supermarket shelves), THAIFEX – ANUGA Startup, which showcases next-gen kitchen disruptors, and the Thailand Ultimate Chef Challenge, judged by culinary powerhouses like Willment Leong and Aiden Jongsung Ahn. There's even an Alternative Protein Taste & Flavour Challenge where visitors get to crown the best faux-meat.
