Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (TSX: SVB, OTCQB: SVBL) (“Silver Bull”)
is pleased to provide results from an additional 5 drill holes on
the Sierra Mojada Project in Coahuila, Northern Mexico.
Highlights from the holes announced in this news
release include:
- Hole B19005 – 13.25 meters of massive sulphide
mineralization grading @ 9.05% zinc, 2.12% Lead and 16g/t silver,
including 5.85 meters @ 11.93% zinc, 2.83% lead, and 24g/t silver
from 75.75 meters.
- Hole B19004 – 0.87 meters of massive sulphide
mineralization grading @ 8.14% zinc, 1.83% Lead and 27g/t silver
from 46.23 meters.
- Hole B19006 – 0.85 meters of massive sulphide
mineralization grading @ 7.25 % zinc, 1.20% Lead, 195g/t silver and
0.13% copper from 129.85m.
The Drill Program: Under a
joint venture option agreement with South32 Ltd (“South32”), Silver
Bull is conducting an initial 8,000 meter surface drill program
targeting a series of possible sulphide extensions at depth to the
main deposit, as well as a series of never before tested targets
within the wider area.
For drilling, the company is using Major
Drilling De Mexico S.A de C.V to initially target four historic
mining areas within the property, three of which have never been
drilled.

Tim Barry, President, CEO and director of Silver
Bull states, “Four of the five holes announced in this news release
are focused within the Palomas Negros area. This is a historical
mining area that lies 9 kilometers to the west of the main deposit
at Sierra Mojada. The Palomas Negros area has never been assessed
with modern exploration techniques and has long been recognized as
an exciting target to be followed up. Work is ongoing to fully
understand the controls on the mineralization at Palomas Negros,
but to get a high grade intercept over 13.25 meters in a first pass
drill pass drill program is very encouraging, especially so close
to surface.”
Sample Analysis and QA/QC: All
samples have been analyzed at ALS Chemex in North Vancouver, BC,
Canada. Samples are first tested with the "ME-MS61m" procedure
which analyzes for 49 elements using a 4 acid digestion. Samples
with silver values above 100ppm and zinc, lead, and copper values
above 10,000ppm (1%) are re-analyzed using the Ag-OG62
procedure.
A rigorous procedure is in place regarding
sample collection, chain of custody and data entry. Certified
standards and blanks, as well as duplicate samples are routinely
inserted into all sample shipments to ensure integrity of the assay
process.
South32 Joint Venture Option:
In June 2018 Silver Bull signed an agreement with a wholly owned
subsidiary of South32 whereby Silver Bull has granted South32 an
option to form a 70/30 joint venture with respect to the Sierra
Mojada Project. To maintain the option in good standing, South32
must contribute minimum exploration funding of US$10 million
("Initial Funding") during a 4 year option period with minimum
aggregate exploration funding of US$3 million, US$6 million and
US$8 million to be made by the end of years 1, 2 and 3 of the
option period respectively. South32 may exercise its option to
subscribe for 70% of the shares of Minera Metalin S.A. De C.V.
("Metalin"), the wholly owned subsidiary of Silver Bull which holds
the claims in respect of the Sierra Mojada Project, by contributing
US$100 million to Metalin for Project funding, less the amount of
the Initial Funding contributed by South32 during the option
period.
About Silver Bull: Silver Bull
is a well-financed mineral exploration company whose shares are
listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and trade on the OTCQB in the
United States, and is based out of Vancouver, Canada. The Sierra
Mojada Project is located 150 kilometers north of the city of
Torreon in Coahuila, Mexico, and is highly prospective for silver
and zinc.
About the Sierra Mojada
deposit: Sierra Mojada is an open pittable oxide deposit
with a NI43-101 compliant measured and indicated "global" resource
of 70.4 million tonnes grading 3.4% zinc and 38.6g/t silver at a
$13.50 NSR cutoff giving 5.35 billion pounds of zinc and 87.4
million ounces of silver. Included within the "global" resource is
a measured and indicated "high grade zinc zone" of 13.5 million
tonnes with an average grade of 11.2% zinc at a 6% cutoff, giving
3.336 billion pounds of zinc, and a measured and indicated "high
grade silver zone" of 15.2 million tonnes with an average grade of
114.9g/t silver at a 50g/t cutoff giving 56.3 million ounces of
silver. Mineralization remains open in the east, west, and
northerly directions. Approximately 60% of the current 3.2
kilometer mineralized body is at or near surface before dipping at
around 6 degrees to the east.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors
concerning estimates of Measured, Indicated, and Inferred
Resources: This press release uses the terms "measured
resources", "indicated resources", and "inferred resources" which
are defined in, and required to be disclosed by, NI 43-101. We
advise U.S. investors that these terms are not recognized by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The
estimation of measured, indicated and inferred resources involves
greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility
than the estimation of proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors
are cautioned not to assume that measured and indicated mineral
resources will be converted into reserves. The estimation of
inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their
existence and economic viability than the estimation of other
categories of resources. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume
that estimates of inferred mineral resources exist, are
economically minable, or will be upgraded into measured or
indicated mineral resources. Under Canadian securities laws,
estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of
feasibility or other economic studies.
Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource
is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations, however the SEC
normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does
not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and
grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, the
information contained in this press release may not be comparable
to similar information made public by U.S. companies that are not
subject NI 43-101.
Cautionary note regarding
forward-looking statements: This news release contains
forward-looking statements regarding future events and Silver
Bull's future results that are subject to the safe harbors created

Act"), and applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking
statements include, among others, statements regarding mineral
resource estimates and work to understand the controls on the
mineralization at Palomas Negros. These statements are based on
current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about
Silver Bull's exploration projects, the industry in which Silver
Bull operates and the beliefs and assumptions of Silver Bull's
management. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "targets,"
"goals," "projects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks,"
"estimates," "continues," "may," variations of such words, and
similar expressions and references to future periods, are intended
to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, including such
factors as the results of exploration activities and whether the
results continue to support continued exploration activities,
unexpected variations in ore grade, types and metallurgy,
volatility and level of commodity prices, the availability of
sufficient future financing, and other matters discussed under the
caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, as amended, and our other
