VANCOUVER, Aug. 21, 2018 - Silver Bull Resources Inc. (TSX: SVB; OTCQB: SVBL) (“Silver Bull” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the second and final tranche of its previously announced private placement (the “Private Placement”). Under the second tranche of the Private Placement, Silver Bull issued 7,365,555 units (the “Units”) of the Company at a price of USD$0.13 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of USD$957,522. Each Unit consisted of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one half of one transferable Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of USD$0.16 until the second anniversary of the closing of the second tranche of the Private Placement.

Under the initial tranche of the Private Placement, which closed on July 25, 2018, Silver Bull issued a total of 21,776,317 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of USD$2,830,921.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used by Silver Bull for general working capital purposes. The Company paid an aggregate cash commission on the second and final tranche of USD$40,040, in addition to issuing an aggregate of 220,000 non-transferable common share purchase warrants (the “Finders’ Warrants”). Each Finders’ Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share for USD$0.14 until the second anniversary of the closing of the second tranche of the Private Placement.

All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws, which will expire four months plus one day from the date of closing of the Private Placement, and will be restricted securities for purposes of U.S. securities laws.

The securities issued under the Private Placement have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. The Company plans to file a registration statement pursuant to the U.S. Securities Act which, when effective, will permit the resale of the Common Shares issued in connection with the Private Placement as well as the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Finders’ Warrants.
