(TSX:SVB) (OTCQB:SVBL) (“Silver Bull”) is pleased to announce the start of a 2,000 meter underground diamond drill program targeting the newly identified zone of high grade sulphide mineralization recently identified at its Sierra Mojada Project in Coahuila, Northern Mexico. The proposed drill program uses the company owned Termite drill rig to target sulphide mineralization from historical underground workings. Highlights from select channel samples in the new sulphide zone include: Sample 25736 @ 1130g/t silver, 22% zinc, 3.26% lead, 12.8% copper. Sample 25727 @ 1315g/t silver, 0.05% zinc, 9.0% copper. Sample 25735 @ 713g/t silver, 3.4% zinc, 0.14% lead, 1.1% copper. Sample 25805 @ 491g/t silver, 24.7% zinc, 1.6% copper. Sample 25739 @ 495g/t silver, 7.09% zinc, 2.68% lead, 1.06% copper. Sample 25728 @ 392g/t silver, 0.4% zinc, 1.8% copper. Sample 25732 @ 329g/t silver, 42% zinc, 3.2% lead, 1.65% copper. Sample 25806 @ 277g/t silver, 19.65% zinc, 18.3% lead, 0.7% copper. Sample 25803 @ 73g/t silver, 19.2% zinc, 4.8% lead, 0.3% copper. Sample 25802 @ 42g/t silver, 10.5% zinc, 2.4% lead, 0.17% copper. Sample 25801 @ 33g/t silver, 8.1% zinc, 3.4% lead, 0.1% copper. The proposed drill program will utilize the company owned Termite drill rig, which is capable of drilling up to 100 meters of HQ diamond core. The purpose of the program is to test grade, thickness, and continuity of the sulphide mineralization over an east-west strike of approximately 300 meters recently identified and accessed through the reconditioning of historical mine workings. Five drill stations are presently planned with more expected to be added as the drill program progresses. Figure 1. Location of the new sulphide zone of mineralization in relation to the previously defined oxide 43-101 resource previously defined at Sierra Mojada. This new zone will be the initial target of the planned drill program. Figure 2. Mapped Underground Mineralization Figure 3.

Mapped zones of continuous mineralization are also shown. These east-west trending zones will be the target of the underground drill program with the ...
