Impact Silver – Review Of Q1 2025 Financials, Operations, and Exploration Initiatives At Both The Plomosas and Zacualpan Mines And District-Scale Land Packages
Fred Davidson, President and CEO of Impact Silver (TSX.V:IPT – OTCQB:ISVLF), joins me to outline the key takeaways from the Q1 2025 financial and operations, and provides an update on the current production and exploration upside at the Zacualpan Silver-Gold District, as well as the Plomosas Zinc-Lead-Silver Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico.
The Company reported revenue of $10.7 million for Q1 2025, more than 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 volume. At quarter-end, the Company had $6.6 million in cash and no structured debt.
Fred also unpacked that in 2024, the Company 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.
With regards to all the exploration initiatives for this year, we kick things off with opportunities to keep exploring deeper underground for more high-grade zinc, lead, and silver at the Plomosas Mine. Fred also points out that there is a new area of interest nearby that is more endowed with gold and copper mineralization, and that will be getting some upcoming surface drilling.
Shifting over to the Zacualpan Silver-Gold District the Company has 4 underground mines and 1 open-pit mine all feeding into the Guadalupe processing plant. Fred and I review exploration targets at the new Kena Discovery at the Guadalupe Mine, the San Ramon Deeps and San Ramon South area at the San Ramon Mine, both a gold-rich and a silver-rich vein respectively at the Alacran Mine, some silver targets like San Antonio at the Mina Grande Mine, and a few target like Carlos Pecheco and Chapanial at the Valley de Oro exploration area.
We wrap up having Fred outline that the purpose of the recent $5million capital raise is to accelerate all this exploration efforts at both district-scale properties, looking for areas to exploit with mining, and eventually growth the production profile.
