Silver Bull Grants an Option Entitling
South32 to Form a 70/30 Joint Venture in
the Sierra Mojada Project for an
Aggregate Investment of US$100 Million
VANCOUVER, British Columbia ,
June 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- Silver Bull Resources, Inc.
(TSX:SVB) (OTCQB:SVBL) (“Silver
Bull”) is pleased to announce
that it has signed an agreement
with a wholly owned subsidiary
of South32 Limited (ASX/JSE/LSE:
S32) (“South32”) whereby Silver
Bull has granted South32 an
option to form a 70/30 joint
venture with respect to Silver
Bull’s Sierra Mojada project
(“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 Project, by contributing
$US100 million to Metalin for
Project funding, less the amount
of the Initial Funding
contributed by South32 during
the option period.
Tim Barry, President, CEO and
director of Silver Bull states,
“This validates the significant
success we have had in
identifying high grade sulphide
zones at the Sierra Mojada
project. South32 is a globally
diversified metals and mining
company that will bring funding
and significant technical
expertise to the project. We
believe this agreement
recognizes the significant
potential at the Sierra Mojada
project.”
Highlights of the
Agreement
Silver Bull and South32 have
entered into an agreement
whereby Silver Bull has granted
South32 an option to subscribe
for a 70% interest in Silver
Bull’s Mexican subsidiary
Metalin for a subscription price
of US$100 million less the
Initial Funding amount (the
“Subscription Amount”). The
Subscription Amount will be used
to fund expenditure on
exploration and development
costs on the Project. Once the
Subscription Amount has been
spent on the Project the parties
will each fund their pro rata
portion of all future Project
funding. To maintain the option
in good standing South32 must
spend a minimum of $US10 million
over the next four years. Should
South32 elect not to continue
with the Project during the four
year option period, the Project
will remain 100% owned by Silver
Bull.
The first year’s exploration
program, planned to start as
soon as possible, will involve a
regional airborne
electromagnetic survey, followed
by a targeted drilling program
on the Project. Initial targets
will include extensions of the
sulphide zones recently
identified by Silver Bull and
the Palomas Negros area. The
exploration program will be
initially managed by Silver
Bull.
Option Funding Phase
To keep the option in good
standing South32 will contribute
a minimum of US$10 million by
way of four annual tranches
during the four year option
period to fund exploration at
the Sierra Mojada project.
Provided that all the
exploration data and information
has been made available 60 days
prior to each anniversary of the
option agreement, South32 shall
decide 30 days prior to the
relevant anniversary whether or
not to fund a further tranche.
If South32 exercises the option,
the Subscription Amount shall be
paid to Metalin in one tranche
within sixty days. Should
South32 elect to withdraw the
option will lapse and South32
will have no further interest in
or claim against either the
Project or Metalin.
Post Option Exercise
Once the Subscription Amount has
been expended by Metalin, the
parties will contribute funding
pro rata (70/30), as
contemplated by the
shareholders’ agreement which
will govern the period
subsequent to the option
exercise (the “Shareholders’
Agreement”). The Shareholders’
Agreement provides for a Chief
Executive Officer to be
appointed by South32 and a board
with a maximum of seven members,
with each of South32 and Silver
Bull appointing a proportionate
number of directors.
Other Terms of the
Option Agreement
In the option agreement, the
parties provide representations,
warranties and indemnities
customary for a transaction of
this nature. Silver Bull
and Metalin agree to certain
restrictive and affirmative
covenants during the option
period, including to maintain
its interest in the Project, not
to transfer or incur
encumbrances on the Project or
the shares of Metalin, other
than as permitted by the
agreement, and to conduct
business in accordance with
agreed upon budgets.
Metalin will be the initial
operator of the Project and
provide annual reports and
budgets to a technical committee
formed by Silver Bull and
South32 for the purpose of
reviewing and approving each
year’s program.
Upon exercise of the option by
South32 the parties will enter
into a shareholders’ agreement
which will govern the affairs of
Metalin. Metalin’s
board shall consist of seven
members, with each shareholder
having an equity interest of 15%
or greater in Metalin nominating
a pro rata number of directors.
The shareholders’ agreement sets
out certain matters which
require super majority approvals
at the board and shareholder
level, as well as certain
transfer restrictions and rights
of first refusal with respect to
the parties’ interest in
Metalin.

02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Silver Bull Resources, Inc.
(TSX:SVB) (OTCQB:SVBL) (“Silver
Bull”) is pleased to announce it
has acquired a new mineral
license in the Palomas Negros
area, a prospect that lies 9
kilometers to the northwest of
the main deposit at Sierra
Mojada. The mineral license
acquired is a 68 hectare
historical mineral license that
had been cancelled for many
years by the Mexican mining
authorities, and consequently
had no official owner, but had
not been released for staking
until recently. The license
covers an area of historical
mine workings which has been
followed up by Silver Bull with
a channel sampling program
targeting a historical 120 meter
long by 25 meter wide showing
continuous high grade
mineralization at surface.
Highlights from the recent new
license acquisition and channel
sampling program include;
-
The recently acquired
mineral license covers 13
historical mine shafts in
the Palomas Negros area
including a 120 meter long x
25 meter wide x 25 meter
deep historical open pit.
-
Silver Bull’s existing
mineral licenses completely
surround the newly acquired
mineral license which forms
part of the 4 kilometer
target previously identified
in the Palomas Negros area.

The channel samples outlined in
this news release are from the
Palomas Negros area at Sierra
Mojada which lies 9 kilometers
to the northwest of the main
deposit. The channel samples
target a historical open pit 120
meters long x 25 meters deep x
25 meters high. Continuous chip
samples two meters in length
were taken along the walls and
floor of the pit. The purpose of
the sampling program was to map
the geology in the pit, and
better understand the grade and
controls on the mineralization.
A total of 45 channel samples
were taken. Fourteen (14)
samples recorded values over 10%
zinc with a peak value of 37.95%
zinc, thirteen (13) samples
recorded values over 200g/t
silver with a peak value of
542g/t silver, and twelve (12)
samples recorded values over 1%
lead with a peak value of 14.74%
lead. A summary of the results
are shown in the table below.

The Drill Program: Silver
Bull is utilizing a company
owned Termite drill rig to
target the sulphide
mineralization. The Termite is
capable of drilling up to 100
meters of NQ diamond core and
five drill stations are
presently planned with more
expected to be added as the
drill program progresses.
Tim Barry, President, CEO and
director of Silver Bull states,
“It is a huge step forward for
the company to acquire this key
mineral license in the Palomas
Negros area. The mineralization
we see at Palomas Negros has
very strong analogies to the
mineralization we see at Sierra
Mojada and is dominated by high
grade silver and zinc with
lesser lead and copper. Although
the continuity and size of the
mineralization at Palomas Negros
is yet to be determined, the
consistent high grade
mineralization identified by the
channel sampling program in the
open pit is extremely
encouraging. We see the
potential at Sierra Mojada for
multiple deposits along the same
trend. Our intention is to
continue our step out drilling
targeting the high grade
sulphide mineralization on the
main deposit at Sierra Mojada,
as well as build up a number of
near term drill targets at
Palomas Negros for testing later
in the year. We now effectively
have two high quality projects
in the same area.
The drilling on the sulphide
zone at the main deposit is
currently halted whilst we
recondition a number of the
workings. We are using a company
owned termite drill rig to
target the extensions to the
sulphide zone recently
identified from underground, a
method which is proving to be
extremely efficient and cost
effective. We expect to re
commence drilling shortly.”
About the Sierra Mojada deposit: Sierra
Mojada is an open pittable oxide
deposit with a NI43-101
compliant measured and indicated
“global” resource of 58.7
million tonnes grading 3.6% zinc
and 50g/t silver at a $13.50 NSR
cutoff giving 4.670 billion
pounds of zinc and 90.8 million
ounces of silver. Including
within the “global” resource is
a “high grade zinc zone” of
10.03 million tonnes with an
average grade of 11% zinc at a
6% cutoff, giving 2.426 billion
pounds of zinc, and a “high
grade silver zone” of 19 million
tonnes with an average grade of
102.5g/t silver at a 50g/t
cutoff giving 62.6 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.
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-ICP41m"
procedure which analyzes for 35
elements using a near total aqua
regia digestion. Samples with
silver values above 100ppm are
re-analyzed using the Ag-GRA21
procedure which is a fire assay
with a gravimetric finish.
Samples with zinc, lead, and
copper values above 10,000ppm
(1%) are re-analyzed using the
AA46 procedure which is a near
total aqua regia digestion with
an atomic absorption finish.
A rigorous procedure is in place
regarding sample collection,
chain of custody and data entry.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 14,
2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silver Bull
Resources, Inc. (TSX:SVB) (OTCQB:SVBL)
(“Silver Bull”) is pleased to provide
results of the final three drill holes
from the first zone of the underground
drill program targeting the newly
discovered Sulphide Zone, which sits
under the previously defined oxide zone
on the Sierra Mojada Project in
Coahuila, Northern Mexico.
Highlights from the three holes
announced in this news release include:
-
Hole T17023 – 10 meters @ 347g/t
silver, 20.7% zinc, 1.25% copper,
and 1.35% lead.

silver, 21.1% zinc, 0.29% copper,
and 3.14% lead.
The Sulphide Zone: A
continuous underground channel sampling
program conducted by Silver Bull during
the month of August 2017 identified a
series of east-west trending high angle
structure hosting sulphide
mineralization (announced in a news
release on 11 September 2017). Results
from the continuous channel sampling
program yielded 31.5 meters grading at
22.36% zinc, 134.5g/t silver, 2.05%
lead, 0.21% copper and 10.5 meters @
432g/t silver, 1.15% zinc, 0.05% lead,
and 1.22% copper and is the target of
the current drill program.
The Drill Program: For
the drill program Silver Bull is
utilizing a company owned Termite drill
rig which aims to test the grade,
thickness, and continuity of the
sulphide mineralization identified by
the channel sampling program. The
Termite is capable of drilling up to 100
meters of NQ diamond core and five drill
stations are presently planned with more
expected to be added as the drill
program progresses.

Tim Barry, President, CEO and director
of Silver Bull states, “We have
identified two distinct zones of high
grade sulphide mineralization that are 4
to 5 meters in width and trend in a
roughly E-W direction. Our recent
drilling has extended these two zones to
over 150 meters each along strike.
The zone to the north is dominated by
high grade silver, up to 1,300g/t and
high grade copper up to 3.3%, whilst the
zone to the south has, in addition to
high grade silver and copper, high grade
zinc grading over 20%. This is
interpreted to represent a zonation of
metals in the deposit. In addition to
the area recently drilled we have opened
up an additional 350 meters of
historical workings along the east-west
trend of the sulphide mineralization
which was announced in January 2018.
This channel sampling program clearly
shows the continuation of high grade
mineralization towards the west. Our
underground geological mapping of this
area shows a number of high angle
structures up to 2 meters wide
containing sulphide mineralization
grading up to 1,300 grams per ton
silver, 42% zinc, 18% lead, and 13%
copper that appear to feed into the
overlying oxide zone. This will be the
next target of our drill program in this
area”.
A summary of the results are shown in
the maps below.

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.

Tim Barry, President, CEO and director of
Silver Bull states, “We are extremely
pleased with the results from this batch of
drilling. The new sulphide zone is proving
to be very productive for high grade
sulphide mineralization. The drilling
summarized in this news release targeted the
second of three steeply dipping, discreet
structures we have identified in the
sulphide zone. Drilling from the first
structure announced in the previous news
releases of holes T17001 to T17014 were
dominated by high grade silver-copper
sulphide mineralization grading up 1,300g/t
silver and 6% copper. A second structure
defined by holes T17010 and T17018 to T17022
is dominated by extremely high zinc sulphide
mineralization, grading up to 48% zinc and
suggests a metal zonation in the
mineralization. In addition to the area
currently being drilled we have opened up an
additional 350 meters of historical workings
along the east-west trend of the sulphide
mineralization which was announced in
January 2018. This channel sampling program
clearly shows the continuation of high grade
mineralization towards the west. Our
underground geological mapping of this area
shows a number of high angle structures up
to 2 meters wide containing sulphide
mineralization grading up to 1,300 grams per
ton silver, 42% zinc, 18% lead, and 13%
copper that appear to feed into the
overlying oxide zone. This will be the next
target of our drill program in this area.”

grading at 22.36% zinc, 134.5g/t silver, 2.05%
lead, 0.21% copper and 10.5 meters @ 432g/t
silver, 1.15% zinc, 0.05% lead, 1.22% and is the
target of the current drill program.
The Drill Program: Silver
Bull is utilizing a company owned Termite drill
rig which aims to test the grade, thickness, and
continuity of the sulphide mineralization
identified by the channel sampling program. The
Termite is capable of drilling up to 100 meters
of NQ diamond core and five drill stations are
presently planned with more expected to be added
as the drill program progresses.

Tim
Barry, President, CEO and director of Silver
Bull states, “We are very pleased with the
continued excellent results from our underground
drill program in the sulphide zone. The high
grade silver-copper mineralization seems to be
hosted along favorable bedding horizons that
have been steepened by an over lying thrust
fault. Both the thrust fault and the favorable
bedding horizons can be traced for over 5
kilometers along the entire deposit and suggests
there is significant potential to expand the
high grade silver-copper mineralization by
targeting these geological features. In addition
recent channel samples in two new zones of very
high grade zinc sulphide mineralization grading
up to 30% zinc identified in recently
reconditioned underground workings sit along
trend to the west of the current drill program
(announced 10 January 2018) and suggest
significant scope to expand high grade zinc
mineralization into this areas. Work is
currently underway to identify drill pads to
target these areas. Continued results from the
drill program are expected out over the next
month.”

Tim
Barry, President, CEO and director of Silver Bull
states, “We are extremely pleased with the results
from this batch of drill core. The new sulphide zone
is proving to be very productive for high grade
sulphide mineralization. The drilling summarized in
this news release targeted the second of three
steeply dipping, discreet structures we have
identified in the sulphide zone. Drilling from the
first structure previously announced in the news
releases of holes T17001 to T17006 was dominated by
high grade silver-copper sulphide mineralization
grading up 1,300g/t silver and 6% copper. This
second structure is dominated by extremely high zinc
sulphide mineralization, grading up to 48% zinc and
suggests a metal zonation in the mineralization we
see at Sierra Mojada and provides very useful
information in helping us vector into an intrusion,
interpreted as the source of metals currently
defined on the project. In addition to vectoring in
on an intrusive source we can now project the
mineralization we are currently drilling into the
extensive channel sampling and drilling completed at
the eastern end of the deposit and show a target
over 3 kilometers in strike length. When you
consider this, coupled with the fact we have
identified three structures in this east-west trend
similar in style, dip and grade of mineralization,
we see some very significant immediate targets at
Sierra Mojada. In addition to the drilling, work is
currently underway to access some of the underground
workings further east to confirm the style of
mineralization.”

Tim Barry, President, CEO and director of Silver Bull
states, “The results from this batch of drilling in the
sulphide zone are exceptional. The consistent high grade
silver-copper mineralization we see in this particular
area is hosted along a steeply dipping fault and remains
open down dip and in the east and west directions. From
what we now know, it has also become apparent that this
zone is severely underrepresented in historic drilling
as the historic surface drill holes in this area are
vertical, meaning that unless they were drilled directly
down the steeply dipping structures we are currently
defining, any drilling in this area would have
completely missed these very high grade zones. As we
understand more about this area we can now project the
mineralization into the extensive channel sampling and
drilling completed at the eastern end of the deposit and
show a target over 3 kilometers in strike length. When
you consider this, coupled with the fact we have
identified at least two other structures similar in
grade of mineralization, dip and orientation, it
presents a very significant target and only adds to the
sulphide story at Sierra Mojada. In addition to the
drilling, work is currently underway to access some of
the underground workings further east to confirm the
style of mineralization.”
