Forward Looking Statements

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

to National Instrument 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 under the U.S.

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and applicable Canadian securities

laws. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding mineral resource estimates and, the potential for open pit or below ground development. 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 mineralization 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, 2016, as amended, and our other periodic and current reports filed with the SEC and available on

www.sec.gov and with the Canadian securities commissions available on www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results or

developments may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this release is based only on information currently available to us and

speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new

information, future developments or otherwise.

The technical information of this presentation has been reviewed and approved by Tim Barry, a Chartered Professional Geologist (CPAusIMM), and a qualified person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.

The “Global Resource” is the addition of the resource defined by the LG optimized pit at $13.50/tonne NSR cut-off and for the underground resource at a 6% Zn cut-off.

NSR, Ag grades, and Ag ounces are from the LG optimized pit only.

Mineral resources are not reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Mineral resources are reported using a commodity price of US$ 18.00/oz silver and US$1.00/lb zinc and a 75% recovery for silver and a 41% recovery for zinc (no copper or lead is assumed to have been recovered in calculating this resource).

Tonnages are reported to the nearest 100,000 tonnes, grades are rounded to the nearest decimal place for Ag, Zn and Pb, and the nearest two decimals for Cu.

Rounding as required by reporting guidelines may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal.

Tonnage and grade are in metric units; contained metal for Zn Cu, & Pb are in imperial pounds.

Tonnage and grades are as reported directly from block model, with mined out areas removed.

hrs) → Merril Crowe silver precipitation → bio-SART process plant and

reagent facility → cyanide destruction → Ag dore (75% recovery) & Zn

sulphide (64% Zn concentrate)

SART (sulfidization, acidification, recycling and thickening)

Used to manage and recycle cyanide, particularly in deposits with cyanide

consuming minerals e.g., Newcrest’s Telfer and Kinross’ Maricunga

Sulfuric acid added to zinc complexed cyanide solution to break the cyanide-

zinc bond, sulphide reagent (H2S) added to precipitate Zn

Barren cyanide solution re-neutralized with lime, recycled back to Ag leaching

process as free cyanide

Zinc Zone Processing Options

Key Takeaway – there is a viable processing route for the Zinc Zone deposit using a rotary kiln, the Waelz Kiln (which was first used in the early 1900s), to recovery Zn via volatization

SVB tested samples with recoveries of +90% at temperatures of 1,200 to 1,300oC

The deposit is also amenable to conventional flotation, but produces a concentrate that is ~40% Zn vs the +52% required by smelters, however the infrastructure (rail head) and proximity of smelters in Mexico means that the may be potential offtake partners

The deposit is also amenable to acid leach, but the presence of acid consuming limestone results in prohibitive acid consumption. SVB has submitted samples for dense media separation studies with the aim of removing the acid consuming gangue mineralogy similar to the approach being used by Nevada Zinc:

Lone Mountain Project – oxide (non-sulphide) Zn case study

Similar deposit type to SVB’s Sierra Mojada Zn deposit

Successfully rejected 90% of acid consuming gangue mineralogy (dolomite and carbonate) using dense media separation (DMS) – this pre-concentration reduces acid consumption resulting in amenability for acid leaching
