Silver Bull Resources Inc. President, CEO, and Director, Tim Barry, said:

We are extremely pleased with this report and feel this is a big step forward for the company. At over 167 million ounces, Sierra Mojada is now one of the largest undeveloped silver resources in Mexico. With our recently completed financing for gross proceeds of $USD 9.2 million, the company is well financed to push the project to the next stage with a preliminary economic assessment, which will be led by JDS. It is also no small point to note that even though we have defined a much larger resource than previously reported, mineralization remains open on the deposit, and during 2013 we will have an underground drill program underway using our low cost termite drill rigs which will target a high grade silver zone defined by underground channel samples immediately adjacent to the deposit.
