Greg Crowe, President and CEO, commented: "This is the third time Eric Sprott has taken a position in the company. We are very appreciative of his ongoing support. With a treasury of over C$ 14 million, Silver One is very well positioned to advance its 3 high-priority silver projects in Nevada and Arizona. Exploration programs are being planned and should commence in the coming weeks."
Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share at $0.65 per share for a period of three (3) years from the date of issue.
All securities issued in connection with the Financing will be subject to restrictions on resale until November 15, 2020. The Company paid finders a fee of $67,730.28 and 125,660 finders warrants.
Proceeds of the financing will be used for ongoing exploration and drilling activities at the Candelaria Silver Project, additional exploration activities to further define the high-grade silver-gold-copper vein systems at the Company's Cherokee Project and to explore for very high-grade silver targets at the recently acquired Phoenix Silver project. It will also be used for potential silver focused acquisitions and for working capital purposes.

About Silver One
Silver One is focused on the exploration and development of quality silver projects.
The Company holds an option to acquire a 100%-interest in its flagship project, the past-producing Candelaria Silver Mine, Nevada. Potential reprocessing of silver from the historic leach pads at Candelaria is being investigated. Additional opportunities lie in previously identified high-grade silver intercepts down-dip and the possibility of increasing the substantive silver mineralization along-strike from the two past-producing open pits.
The Company has staked 636 lode claims and entered into a Lease/Purchase Agreement to acquire five patented claims on its Cherokee project located in Lincoln County, Nevada, host to multiple silver-copper-gold vein systems traced to date for over 12 km along-strike. The property also has potential for limestone related polymetallic plus silver and gold and/or other intrusive related systems at depth.
Silver One holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Silver Phoenix Project. The Silver Phoenix Project is a very high-grade native silver prospect that lies within the "Arizona Silver Belt", immediately adjacent to the prolific copper producing area of Globe, Arizona.
In addition, the Company also holds a 100% interest in three significant silver assets located in Mexico - Peñasco Quemado, Sonora; La Frazada, Nayarit; and Pluton, Durango.
