SILVER BULL RECEIVES DRILL PERMITS AND ANNOUNCES THE START
OF AN INITIAL 8,000 METER DRILL PROGRAM ON THE SIERRA MOJADA
PROJECT, COAHUILA, MEXICO.
Vancouver, British Columbia – Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: SVBL, TSX: SVB) (“Silver Bull”)
is pleased to announce it has received the appropriate drill permits from the Mexican
Government, and has commenced an initial 8,000 meter surface drill program targeting a series
of the sulphide extensions at depth to the main deposit, as well as a series of never before tested
targets within the wider area.
For the 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 h ave never been drilled . The drill
program is conducted under the Joint Venture Option with South32.
South32 Joint Venture Option : In June 2018 Silver Bull signed an agreement with 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 fund ing 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.

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 m ineral 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.
