Vancouver, British Columbia - Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (TSX: SVB, NYSE MKT: SVBL) ("Silver Bull") is pleased to announce the drill results for the eighth batch of drill holes from the underground drill program twinning a series of "long holes" in a high grade silver zone situated at the eastern end of the Shallow Silver Zone on the Sierra Mojada Project in Coahuila, Northern Mexico.

High grade silver highlights from the eighth batch of 9 drill holes include:

• Hole T12055: 17.50 meters @ 174.59g/t Ag (including 4.6m @ 529.35g/t Ag)
• Hole T12066: 28 meters @ 134.43g/t Ag (including 14.8m @ 232.07g/t Ag)
• Hole T12074: 10.85 meters @ 224.08g/t Ag (including 5.8m @ 394.77g/t Ag)

** Mineralization remains open in the north, south, east, and westerly directions

The 3,000 meter drill program currently underway at Sierra Mojada uses two underground "Termite" rigs to twin a historical long hole data set with diamond core along a high grade silver zone at the eastern end of the Shallow Silver Zone. The purpose of the program is to increase confidence in the long hole data set which represents approximately 38,000 meters of drilling that was either severally restricted or discarded in Silver Bull's NI43-101 resource report on the Shallow Silver Zone dated July 5, 2012. The high grade silver zone is hosted along a series of east-west trending structures with a combined traceable strike of approximately 3 kilometers and remains open in all directions.

The twinning drill program is scheduled to conclude before the end of the 2012 calendar year. Upon completion, Silver Bull will initiate a revised NI43-101 resource update on the Shallow Silver and Zinc Zones, scheduled for release in first quarter of 2013.

In addition the high grade silver zone, and as announced in the September 14, 2012 news release, Silver Bull has also expanded the underground twinning program with an additional 2,000 meters of drilling into the high grade zinc zone, which is also largely defined by long hole drilling and sits adjacent to and below the silver mineralization. Initial drill results from the twinning program in the zinc zone are expected by mid November 2012.

A table of holes T12066 to T12079 from the underground long hole twinning program is shown below.

About the Shallow Silver Zone: The "Shallow Silver Zone" is an oxide silver deposit (+/- zinc & lead), hosted along an east-west trending fracture-karst system set in a cretaceous limestone-dolomite sequence. At a 20g/t cutoff grade the Shallow Silver Zone has a measured resource of 3.023 million tonnes at an average grade of 65 g/t for 6.343 million contained troy ounces of silver, an indicated resource of 38.560 million tonnes at an average grade of 50 g/t for 61.694 million contained troy ounces of silver, and an inferred resource of 6.491 million tonnes at an average grade of 45 g/t for 9.478 million contained troy ounces of silver. The mineralized body averages between 30m -- 90m thick, up to 200m wide and remains open in all directions. Approximately 60% of the current 3.8 kilometer strike length is at or near surface before dipping at around 6 degrees to the east.

Zinc Exploration Target: In addition to the silver resource, Sierra Mojada also contains a significant "zinc oxide exploration target" which sits directly below and adjacent to the Shallow Silver Zone at its eastern end. The "Red" and "White" zinc zones have been identified through historical data containing 3,733 channels and 1,045 long holes over a 1.5 km strike length, but has too few core drill holes to presently delineate a NI43-101 compliant mineral resource. The zinc mineralization is composed of hemimorphite and lesser smithsonite and forms a tabular body hosted mostly within the upper dolomite along the east-west trending Sierra Mojada fault. It is located 600 meters from a functioning railway and has been periodically mined for zinc grading >20% over the last 100 years.

Sample Analysis and QA/QC: All samples have been analyzed at ALS Chemex in North Vancouver, BC, Canada. Samples are first tested with the "ME-ICP41m" procedure which analyzes for 35 elements using a near total aqua regia digestion. Samples with silver values above 100ppm are re-analyzed using the Ag-GRA21 procedure which is a fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Samples with zinc, lead, and copper values above 10,000ppm (1%) are re-analyzed using the AA46 procedure which is a near total aqua regia digestion with an atomic absorption finish.

A rigorous procedure is in place regarding sample collection, chain of custody and data entry. Certified standards and blanks, as well as duplicate samples are routinely inserted into all sample shipments to ensure integrity of the assay process.

About Silver Bull: Silver Bull is a US registered mineral exploration company listed on both the NYSE MKT and TSX stock exchanges and based out of Vancouver, Canada. The flag ship "Sierra Mojada" project is located 150 kilometers north of the city of Torreon in Coahuila, Mexico, and is highly prospective for silver and zinc. Silver Bull also has 2 mineral licenses in Gabon, Central Africa, which are prospective for gold, manganese, and iron ore.

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 and indicated 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 NI 43-101.
