Cash provided by operating activities improved to $1.3 million from $0.7 million in Q1 2020.

Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated, "In Q1 2021, we witnessed a rush to silver from retail investors due to online message board rallies and zero commission platforms. The resulting silver squeeze took silver to recent highs which has benefited our bottom-line and also brought in attention to a sector that has been under-allocated by retail investors since 2011.
"While we cannot plan our business around online fueled rallies and short-term blips, IMPACT continues to be one of the purest silver miners with a 90%+ revenue leverage to silver prices. It is our plan in 2021 that with ongoing production efficiency improvements and exploration plans, we will continue to shape IMPACT into the premier silver exploration and production play for investors. Now that cash flow is positive and metal prices relatively stabilized, we aim to explore and unlock further value from our land package in 2021."
