Commonwealth: Deposit Model
• Impact has re-logged 20 drill holes: VMS deposit confirmed.
10
Silurian VMS Deposit
17.7 Mt at 1.4 g/t gold, 80 g/t silver, 1.7% copper, 9.9% zinc, 3.8% lead for 7.1 million oz gold eq.
• 3.5 Moz gold equivalent underground resource and reserve
• Multiple lenses down to at least 630 m depth
Analogy: Woodlawn deposit (TriAusMin)

• Historic resource estimate:
Main Shaft: *83,000 t at 16.5 g/t gold eq. (6 g/t gold, 250g/t silver, 10% zinc, 3% lead, 0.5% copper) for 44,000 oz gold eq.
*Only over 50 m strike to 50 m depth
• Drill intercepts in fresh rock of:
9.8 m at 8.4 g/t gold, 357 g/t silver, 4.1% lead, 9.3% zinc, 0.5% copper
30 m at 6 g/t including 2 m at 77 g/t gold
• Potential for significant deposit beneath & along strike from Main Shaft
• Resource definition drilling required
• Exploration Target >1 M oz gold equivalent
