Silver
Bull Resources, Inc. SVBL ("Silver Bull") is
pleased to provide a corporate update to its shareholders and outline
the company's intention to better define the economics of the high
grade zinc mineralization seen at Sierra Mojada.
With continuing difficult capital market conditions, we have remained
very cognizant about the need to remain as prudent as possible with
the existing treasury, and have focused on reducing overall costs for
the project, and as per the recommendations of our Canadian National
Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") Preliminary Economic Assessment (the
"PEA") released in October 2013 on the
silver resource, securing the
permits necessary for a mine development.
The main permits we have targeted include; water rights, the issuance
of surface title (presently much of the project sits on Federal
land), and continued work on environmental permitting. Although the
full environmental permit cannot be issued until the project has a
full feasibility study and is ready for construction, many of the
individual studies needed for the permit can begin at the project's
current stage. This work will allow the Company to reduce the time
required to complete a pre-feasibility study when market conditions
improve.
With a 28% rise in the zinc price over the last 12 months and the
strong long term outlook for the metal we now believe the time is
right to re-examine the potential of the high grade zinc oxide
mineralization. The extent and grade of the zinc oxide mineralization
seen at Sierra Mojada, coupled with already existing infrastructure
which includes a functioning railway 300 meters from the project,
suggests the zinc could be modeled as a standalone mine. In addition
to providing tremendous optionality, the company receives very little
valuation for the zinc, and this work will go a long way to better
defining its value to the market.
