ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Date: 15 August 2017
Number: 532/150817
DRILL PROGRAMME EXTENDED AS HIGH GRADE SILVER
RESULTS ADD TO GOLD ASSAYS AT THE
SILICA HILL PROSPECT, COMMONWEALTH PROJECT NSW
14 metres at 5.1 g/t gold equivalent (4 g/t gold and 61 g/t silver)
including: 3 metres at 10.4 g/t gold and 20 g/t silver and
4 metres at 1.8 g/t gold and 217 g/t silver
An extension of the drill programme is underway at Impact Minerals Limited (ASX:IPT) emerging high
grade gold-silver discovery at Silica Hill, part of the company’s 100% owned Commonwealth Project
100 km north of Orange in New South Wales.
This follows the receipt of high grade silver assays from Hole CMIPT56 that add to the previously
reported thickest and highest grade gold intercept returned thus far from the prospect (see announcement
20th July 2017).
Final assays including silver for Hole 56 a reverse circulation (RC) drill hole, have identified a deeper
gold-silver rich zone and a shallower silver-rich zone to the mineralisation, similar to that seen in
previous drill holes from Silica Hill (see announcement 22nd February 2017).
The deeper gold-silver rich zone has returned the following intercepts from about 100 m below surface:
20 metres at 3.3 g/t gold and 53 g/t silver (4 g/t gold equivalent*) from 149 m down hole;
including: 15 metres at 4.0 g/t gold and 61 g/t silver (5.5 g/t gold equivalent) from 152 m;
which includes: 4 metres at 1.8 g/t gold and 217 g/t silver (4.7 g/t gold equivalent) from 152 m;
and: 3 metres at 10.4 g/t gold and 20 g/t silver (10.7 g/t gold equivalent from 160 metres.
The shallower silver-rich zone has returned the following intercepts from about 30 m below surface:
12 metres at 0.3 g/t gold and 64 g/t silver (1.1 g/t gold equivalent) from 46 metres down hole;
including 3 metres at 0.4 g/t gold and 270 g/t silver (3.9 g/t gold equivalent) from 47 metres
and 2 metres at 0.1 g/t gold and 158 g/t silver (2.2 g/t gold equivalent) from 56 metres.
These results confirm the high grade nature of both gold and silver at Silica Hill and also show there is a
broad zonation from gold-rich to silver-rich parts of the large mineralised system.
These results and also the extensive silver and base metal-rich veins discovered in Holes 61 and 63,
where assays for all metals including gold are still awaited (see announcement 4th August 2017), has
lead to an expansion of the current drill programme by at least a further 500 metres of diamond drilling.
* The gold equivalent grade has been calculated using prices of US$1280 for gold and US$17 for silver.

Figure 1. Significant drill results at Silica Hill. The mineralisation is open in all directions.
The expanded drill programme will continue to test the north eastern extension of the mineralised trend
along strike from Hole 63 (Figure 1).
These new assays from Hole 56 are interpreted to be the north west extension of, and materially better
than, the gold-rich zone discovered by Impact in Hole 43 (Figure 1) which returned:
68 metres at 0.5 g/t gold and 43 g/t silver (1.3 g/t gold equivalent) from 99 metres;
including the upper silver-rich zone of 37 metres at 0.1 g/t gold and 71 g/t silver (2.3 ounces) and the
lower gold-rich zone of 18 m at 1.7 g/t gold and 24 g/t silver from 149 metres.
Individual results of note in Hole 43 are:
High grade silver intercepts (with gold) in the upper part of the assayed zone:
1 m at 122 g/t (4 ounces) silver and 0.2 g/t gold from 108 metres;
1 m at 146 g/t silver (5 ounces) and 0.1 g/t gold from 118 metres;
2 m at 373 g/t (12 ounces) silver and 0.2 g/t gold from 123 metres including
1 m at 525 g/t (17 ounces) silver and 0.1 g/t gold from 124 metres; and
1 m at 337 g/t (11 ounces) silver and 0.1 g/t gold and from 134 metres.
Significant gold assays in the lower part of zone:
1 m at 2.3 g/t gold and 64 g/t (2 ounces) silver from 153 metres;
and 1 m at 6.4 g/t gold and 18 g/t silver (0.5 ounces) from 155 metres.
Holes 56 and 43 are about 15 metres apart with the gold grades increasing to the north west. These
results indicate signficant potential to increase the contained ounces of gold and silver within the
envelope of mineralisation already discovered with closer spaced drilling.
About the Commonwealth Project
The Commonwealth Project forms part of Impact’s extensive 100% owned land holding of 1,000 sq km
in the Lachlan Foldbelt, home to numerous gold and copper mines including the giant Cadia deposit
near Orange (40 million ounces of gold and 12 million tonnes of copper).
At Silica Hill significant gold and silver mineralisation has been intersected in seven drill holes and
covers an area of 200 metres by 100 metres down to a depth of 120 metres below surface and with an
average true thickness of at least between 40 metres and 70 metres. The mineralisation is open in all
directions including up dip (Figure 1).
Four drill holes out of the seven have also returned gram-times-metre intercepts of more than
100 gram.metres and a fifth hole returned an intercept of greater than 50 gram.metres. These are robust
and significant results for potential bulk mining and indicate the potential to significantly increase the
resources at the Commonwealth Project, which currently stand at 720,000 tonnes at 2.8 g/t gold,
48 g/t silver, 1.5% zinc and 0.6% lead (see announcement 19 February 2015).
In detail, these thick widths of mineralisation actually comprise numerous narrow veins and vein
stockworks of high grade gold and very high grade silver hosted by the Silica Hill rhyolite that contain
lower grade disseminated gold and silver.
For example, Hole CMIPT046 returned an intercept of
41 metres at 2 g/t and 176 g/t silver from 61 metres including 30 individual assays of varying widths
of between 2 g/t and 24 g/t gold and 12 individual assays with more than 500 g/t silver including
1 metre at 12.2 g/t gold and 680 g/t silver including 0.3 metres at 23 g/t gold and 1,110 g/t silver;
1 metre at 5.3 g/t gold and 924 g/t silver;
1.7 metres at 3.8 g/t gold and 1,176 g/t silver; and
0.7 metres at 1.5 g/t gold and 855 g/t silver.

APPENDIX 1 - SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA
Criteria
JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips,
or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down
hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These
examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
Rock chip samples
Random grab samples were taken at surface which represented favourable geology and alteration to known mineralisation in
the region. Samples are variably weathered.
Soil Samples
About 250g of soil was taken from 15-20cm below surface and sieved to - 2mm size. Samples put in plastic snap seal bags.
Samples were subsequently sieved to -250 micron at SGS Laboratories for assay by aqua regia digest.
RC Drilling
Reverse Circulation (RC) percussion drilling was used to produce a 1m bulk sample (~25kg) which was collected in plastic bags
and representative 1m split samples (12.5%, or nominally 3kg) were collected using a riffle splitter and placed in a calico bag.
The cyclone was cleaned out with compressed air at the end of each hole and periodically during the drilling. Holes were drilled
to optimally intercept interpreted mineralised zones.
Diamond Drilling
Diamond drilling was used to produce drill core either with a diameter of 63.5 mm (HQ) or 47.6 mm (NQ).
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used
Rock chip samples
Representative samples at each sample site weigh between 0.8 and 1.2 kg. Sample sites were chosen due to historic rock and
soil assay results and the geophysical surveys conducted on the Commonwealth Project. Historic rock sample methods are
unknown but are considered immaterial.
Soil Samples and Drill Samples
Sample representivity was ensured by a combination of Company Procedures regarding quality control (QC) and quality
assurance / testing (QA).
Examples of QC include (but are not limited to), daily workplace and equipment inspections, as well as drilling and sampling
procedures.
Examples of QA include (but are not limited to) collection of “field duplicates”, the use of certified standards and blank samples
approximately every 50 samples

JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material
to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3
kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In
other cases more explanation may be required, such as where
there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information
Rock chip samples
Rock samples were sent to SGS Perth where they were crushed, dried and pulverised (total prep) to produce a 25-30 g subsamples for analysis initially by Aqua Regia digest with ICP-MS finish for base metals then by four acid digest with an ICP/AES
finish for ore grade base metal samples and lead collection fire assay with AAS finish for gold.
Soil Samples
Soil samples were sent to ACME Laboratories in Vancouver for analysis by aqua regia digest or to SGS Laboratories in Perth for
analysis by the MMI digest.
RC and diamond drill samples
RC samples and cut samples of core were submitted to ALS in Orange, NSW. Laboratory sample preparation involved: sample
crushed to 70% less than 2mm, riffle/rotary split off 1 kg, pulverise split to >85% passing 75 microns.
RC samples analysed by MEICP41 or MEOG46 for ore grade samples, aqua region digest with ICP OES analysis and AA24 fire
assay with AAS finish.
Historical diamond and RC samples were sent to Fox Anamet, Brookvale NSW where gold was determined by fire assay, base
metals by DCP and AAS methods.
Weathered samples contained gossanous sulphide material and fresh samples containing visible pyrite, galena, sphalerite and
chalcopyrite.
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, facesampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc).
Diamond drilling accounts for about 50 % of the drilling and comprises NQ (47.6 mm diameter) and HQ (63.5 mm diameter)
sized core. Impact diamond core is triple tube and is oriented. Historical diamond core was not oriented.
RC drilling accounts for about 50% of the drilling and comprises 4 inch hammer.
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed
Diamond core recoveries for all holes are logged and recorded. Recoveries are estimated to be approximately >97% for the
Commonwealth Project. No significant core loss or sample recovery problems are observed in the drill core or historic reports.
RC samples were visually checked for recovery, moisture and contamination.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples
Diamond core is reconstructed into continuous runs on an angle iron cradle for orientation marking. Depths are checked against
the depth given on the core blocks and rod counts are routinely carried out by the driller.
The RC samples are collected by plastic bag directly from the rig-mounted cyclone and laid directly on the ground in rows of 10.
The drill cyclone and sample buckets are cleaned between rod-changes and after each hole to minimise down-hole and/or cross
contamination.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and
grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
No sample bias has been established.
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
Geological logging of samples followed company and industry common practice. Qualitative logging of samples included (but
not limited to); lithology, mineralogy, alteration, veining and weathering. Diamond core logging included additional fields such
as structure and geotechnical parameters.
Magnetic Susceptibility measurements were taken for each 1m RC sample and each 1m diamond core interval.
For diamond core, information on structure type, dip, dip direction, texture, shape and fill material has been recorded in the
logs. RQD data has been recorded on selected diamond holes. Handheld XRF analysis was completed at 50 cm and 1 m intervals
on diamond core and for every metre for RC samples.

JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.
All logging is quantitative, based on visual field estimates. Systematic photography of the diamond core in the wet and dry form
was completed.
Chip trays with representative 1m RC samples were collected and photographed then stored for future reference.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections
logged
All diamond drill holes were logged in full.
All RC chips samples were geologically logged by Impact’s on-site geologist on a 1m basis, with digital capture in the field.
Detailed diamond core logging, with digital capture was conducted for 100% of the core by Impact’s on-site geologist.
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core
taken.
All core samples were sampled by half core. Selected intervals of quarter core will be selected for check assays if required.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and
whether sampled wet or dry.
RC samples were split using a riffle splitter.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of
the sample preparation technique.
Company procedures were followed to ensure sub-sampling adequacy and consistency. These included (but were not limited
to), daily work place inspections of sampling equipment and practices, as well as sub-sample duplicates (“field duplicates”).
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages
to maximise representivity of samples.
Laboratory QC procedures for rock sample assays involve the use of internal certified reference material as assay standards,
along with blanks, duplicates and replicates.
The QC procedure for historical diamond and RC samples is unknown but considered immaterial.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of
the in situ material collected, including for instance results for
field duplicate/second-half sampling.
Sample duplicates from the historical drilling were taken from selected intervals and compared to the original assay. Quarter
core was taken for diamond samples and riffle resplits for RC samples.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.
The samples sizes at Commonwealth are considered appropriate since gold has been identified as predominantly fine-grained
by thin section analysis which would indicate the nugget effect is minimal.
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
An industry standard fire assay technique for samples using lead collection with an Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS)
finish was used for gold and aqua regia digest for base metals and silver.
The quality of historical drill sample assays is unknown, however this is considered immaterial at this stage of exploration.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments,
etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including
instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors
applied and their derivation, etc.
No geophysical tools were used to determine material element concentrations. A handheld XRF was used for qualitative analysis
only.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards,
blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have
been established.
For the rock chips, quality control procedures for assays were followed via internal laboratory protocols. Accuracy and precision
are within acceptable limits.
The quality control of historical drill sample assays is unknown, however this is considered immaterial at this stage of
exploration.
The verification of significant intersections by either independent
or alternative company personnel.
Significant intersections from drilling have not been verified by independent or alternative companies. This is not required at
this stage of exploration.

The use of twinned holes.
Two twin diamond holes versus historic RC holes have been drilled at Commonwealth South and Main Shaft.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
Primary assay data for rock chips has been entered into standard Excel templates for plotting in Mapinfo and Target. All
historical drill data has been entered digitally by previous explorers and verified internally by Impact.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
No significant adjustments have been required.
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drillholes (collar
and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other
locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Recent drill holes have been located by DGPS. Historical drill holes and mine shafts have been verified by DGPS.
Specification of the grid system used.
The grid system for Commonwealth is MGA_GDA94, Zone 55.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Standard government topographic maps have been used for topographic validation. The DGPS is considered sufficiently
accurate for elevation data.
For the diamond holes, down-hole single shot surveys were conducted by the drilling contractor. Surveys were conducted at
6m, 18, 30m and then approximately every 30m down-hole.
For the RC drill holes, downhole dip surveys were taken at approximately 30m intervals and at the bottom of the hole.
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
Drill spacing of drill holes ranges between 10 and 30 m which is considered adequate for Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Drill spacing of drill holes ranges between 10 and 50 m and may be considered adequate for Mineral Resource and Ore reserve
estimation procedures. However estimations of grade and tonnes have not yet been made.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Sample compositing has been applied for quoting drill composite results only.
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling
of possible structures and the extent to which this is known,
considering the deposit type.
Drilling is oriented sub-perpendicular to the mineralised trend and stratigraphic contacts as determined by field data and cross
section interpretation.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported
if material.
No significant sample bias has been identified from drilling due to the optimum drill orientation described above. Where
present, sample bias will be reported.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.
For rock samples, chain of custody is managed by Impact Minerals Ltd. Samples for Commonwealth are delivered by Impact
Minerals Ltd personnel to ALS in Orange, NSW or to SGS Perth for prep and assay. Whilst in storage, they are kept in a locked
yard. Tracking sheets have been set up to track the progress of batches of samples.
Security of historic drill samples is unknown however is considered immaterial.
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and
data.
A review of the sampling techniques and data both of historic drill holes and of Impact’s procedures has been completed by
Optiro Consultants of Perth, WA.

SECTION 2 REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS
Criteria
Mineral tenement and land
tenure status
Exploration done by other
parties
JORC Code explanation
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including
agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites,
wilderness or national park and environmental settings.
The Commonwealth Project currently comprises 3 exploration licences covering 315 km2. The tenements
are held 100% by Endeavour Minerals Pty Ltd, a subsidiary company of Impact Minerals Limited. No
aboriginal sites or places have been declared or recorded in areas where Impact is currently exploring.
There are no national parks over the license area.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any
known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
The tenements are in good standing with no known impediments.
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.
A total of 66 drillholes have been completed over 300 m strike between the Commonwealth main shaft
and Commonwealth South by previous explorers to an average depth of 53 m.
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.
The Commonwealth and Commonwealth South deposits are considered gold-rich volcanic hosted
massive sulphide (VMS) deposits that occur at and below the contact with a porphyrictic rhyolite and
overlying volcanic sedimentary rocks. The mineralisation may have been overprinted by epithermal
mineralisation.
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for
all Material drill holes:
easting and northing of the drill hole collar
elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
dip and azimuth of the hole
down hole length and interception depth
hole length.
See Table in text.
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
All reported assays have been length weighted. No top cuts have been applied. A nominal cut-off of
approximately 0.5 g/t Au has been applied.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results
and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
High grade massive sulphide intervals internal to broader zones of disseminated sulphide mineralisation
are reported as included intervals.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should
be clearly stated.
Gold equivalent values have been used in the long section. Metal prices used for the gold equivalent
were $1,650 for gold and $30 for silver. Given the high grade results, it is assumed that very high
recoveries will be achieved. However no metallurgical studies have been completed to verify this. Such
studies will be done as and when appropriate.

Relationship between
mineralisation widths and
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true
