Impact Minerals Limited (ASX:IPT) is pleased to announce that it has received a refund of

0.3 metres at 23 g/t gold and 1,110 g/t silver within large bulk mineable widths:

41.3 metres at 2.0 g/t gold and 176 g/t silver from 61 metres.

The Silica Hill Prospect is part of the Commonwealth Project and located about 100 km north of Orange in NSW.

Yours faithfully
