Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT stated, “This quarter we encountered the perfect storm of lower silver prices, lower grades at our mill, and fluctuating currencies. To address this headwind of lower revenue and rising costs, the team has done an admirable job of reining in costs and decreasing operating expenses to $3.8 million from $3.9 million in the same quarter of 2017 while still processing about the same tonnage. Going forward, the Company will focus on ore grade selection including access to higher zinc zones. On a positive note, we have had excellent drilling success with the discovery of the new San Ramon Deeps 2 Zone just south of our current active mining areas.”
