IMPACT RAISES $2 MILLION
$2 million raised via Placement of Shortfall from the recent Share Purchase Plan
Funds to be primarily used for the ongoing drill programme and resource work at
the Commonwealth gold-silver-base metals project in New South Wales
Impact Minerals Limited (ASX:IPT) is pleased to announce that it has completed a Placement of
$2 million of the Shortfall from the Company’s recent Share Purchase Plan following recent results
from the ongoing drill programme at the 100% owned Commonwealth Project, 100 km north of
Orange in New South Wales.
Impact Minerals’ Managing Director, Dr Mike Jones, said “We are very pleased to have had strong
and mostly unsolicited demand for this shortfall because we are now well funded to continue the major
drill programme at our emerging high grade gold-silver discovery at Silica Hill.”
The Company has received firm commitments from sophisticated and professional investors to raise
$2.0 million through the Placement, being 111,111,111 Shares and 166,666,667 free attaching Quoted
Options.
Shares and free attaching Quoted Options issued under the Placement will be issued on the same terms
and conditions as those under the Share Purchase Plan, being 1.8 cents for each Share, with three free
attaching Quoted Options exercisable at 4 cents on or before 15 June 2020 for every two new Shares
subscribed for.
The Company will lodge a prospectus with ASIC for the purposes of section 708A(11) of the
Corporations Act to remove any trading restrictions on the Shares and Options issued under the
Placement.

Capital Structure
Commonwealth Project (NSW) | Overview
Emerging high grade gold and silver discovery 100 km north of Orange, NSW.
100% owned project, part of 1000 sq km landholding in a prolific mining province.
Drill programme in progress – Mineralisation extended to 250m and still open
Drilling is adding to existing resource base of 100,000oz gold equivalent.
Drill programme to continue to scope out and demonstrate potential for a major increase in the resource.
12 drill holes so far: assays for 7 received all with robust minable widths and grades.
Resource definition drilling to commence as soon as practicable and into 2018
Mineralisation is unique in Australia and similar to major high grade-low tonnage orebodies around the world in
particular the 3.5 million ounce Eskay Creek gold-silver mine in Canada.

Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide
eg Woodlawn analogue (near Canberra)
7 million ounces gold equivalent
Porphyry copper-gold
eg Cadia-Ridgeway (near Orange)
40 million ounces gold and 12 million tonnes copper

Mineralisation discovered over 250m of strike and down to
100 m below surface.
Open in all directions.
Drilling still in progress with significant assays expected over
the next two months
Aim to scope out deposit prior to resource definition drilling
Preliminary studies show open pit potential
Previous high grade intercepts include:
CMIPT046:
41.3m at 4.7 g/t gold eq (2.0 g/t gold and 176 g/t silver) from 61m;
including 16.3m at 7.6 g/t gold eq (3.7 g/t Au and 246 g/t Ag)
from 86m
including 0.3m at 23 g/t gold and 1,110 g/t silver (32 oz)
CMIPT11:
48.6 m at 0.5 g/t gold and 137 g/t silver from 122m
including 0.9m at 2.4 g/t gold and 3,146 g/t silver (100 oz) from
148m

Next Steps at Commonwealth-Silica Hill
Continue to extend the mineralised zone and scope out the size of the system by further drilling at Main Shaft
North and Silica Hill East.
A further 8 holes are planned for about 1,600m of drilling.
Looking to extend mineralised zone by up to 1,000m.
Commence resource drill out of 3,000m by year end and into 2018.
New resource statement due in Q2 2018.
Commence early stage environmental monitoring studies.
Commence metallurgical test work and preliminary mining studies.

Platinum Equivalent Calculations for Broken Hill
Platinum equivalent calculation represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by the conversion factor, summed and
expressed in equivalent platinum percentage. These results are Exploration Results only and no allowance is made for recovery
losses that may occur should mining eventually result. However it is the Company’s opinion that elements considered here have a
reasonable potential to be recovered as evidenced in similar multi-commodity natured mines elsewhere in the world. Platinum
equivalent conversion factors and long-term price assumptions used in $A dollars are as follows:
Platinum $1,528/ounce; palladium $1,015/ounce; rhodium $1,506 /ounce; osmium $500/ounce; iridium $763/ounce, ruthenium
$65/ounce, gold $1581/ounce, copper $3.60/lb and nickel $7.54/lb.
Gold Equivalent Calculations for Commonwealth
Gold equivalent calculation represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by the conversion factor, summed and
expressed in equivalent gold percentage. These results are exploration results only and no allowance is made for recovery losses
that may occur should mining eventually result. However it is the Company’s opinion that elements considered here have a
reasonable potential to be recovered as evidenced in similar multi-commodity natured mines elsewhere in the world. Gold
equivalent conversion factors and long-term price assumptions used are as follows:
Gold $1581/ ounce, silver $22.21/ounce, copper $7,320/tonne, lead $2,345.94/tonne; zinc $2,74/ tonne.
