VANCOUVER, BC – (December 10, 2020) – Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (TSX: SVB, OTCQB: SVBL) ("Silver Bull" or the "Company") reminds all shareholders to vote in advance of the special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") on Wednesday, December 16, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. PT.

The Company's board of directors strongly recommends that all shareholders to vote "FOR" both proposals to increase the number of authorized shares and to change the Company's name to MaxMetals Corp.

President and CEO Tim Barry stated,

I have just returned from an "on the ground" due diligence trip to the Beskauga project in Kazakhstan and I was extremely impressed by the mineralization I saw in the drill core, and the extensive infrastructure that surrounds the project. Additional due diligence is currently underway on the Beskauga project, which if acceptable, will allow us to bring a second project into the Company. This would give shareholders exposure to silver and zinc on our Sierra Mojada project in Mexico, and copper and gold at the Beskauga project in Kazakhstan. It is well known that gold and silver prices have had big run-ups over the last six months; however, it is less appreciated that copper (US$2.60 in June 2020 to US$3.50 in December 2020) and zinc (US$0.92 in June 2020 to US$1.28 in December 2020) prices have been running up as well. By increasing the number of authorized shares now, we will be able to act in a timely manner when the need to raise equity capital arises or when the board believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to take action, and to maximize the opportunities that both the Sierra Mojada and Beskauga projects present to shareholders.

As outlined in our news release on November 30, 2020, it is no small point that both of the leading independent proxy advisor firms Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis & Co. agreed with Silver Bull's board of directors on the need for additional shares to enable the Company to raise additional capital for furthering the development of the Sierra Mojada project in Mexico and the Beskauga property in Kazakhstan. Additionally, Glass Lewis noted that "it would be in shareholders' best interest to provide the board with flexibility to obtain additional capital—including through participation in private placement transactions—going forward."

We would like to remind shareholders that special meetings of shareholders are costly and time-consuming. If the proposal to increase the number of authorized shares is approved, the Company will not need to call another special meeting in the near term to consider a proposal to increase the number of authorized shares again.

We have hired Laurel Hill Advisory Group as our proxy solicitation agent, and its contact details are outlined at the top and bottom of this news release. Should shareholders have any questions regarding the Meeting or require assistance with voting, please contact Laurel Hill directly.

On behalf of Silver Bull's management and board, we thank you for your support on this very important matter.

Authorized Share Increase Proposal

By increasing the number of authorized shares of Silver Bull common stock now, the Company will be able to act in a timely manner when the need to raise equity capital arises or when the Company's board of directors believes it is in the best interests of the Company and shareholders to take action, without the delay and expense that would be required at that time to obtain shareholder approval to increase the authorized shares. Business purposes for which the Company could seek to raise additional capital include furthering the development of the Sierra Mojada project in Mexico and the Beskauga property (and other properties) located in Kazakhstan. Virtually all junior exploration companies like the Company remain as viable companies and conduct their mineral exploration activities by raising funds by issuing shares from time to time. In the absence of an affirmative vote to increase the number of authorized shares of Silver Bull common stock, the Company will have an insufficient number of authorized shares to raise funds to fund general corporate overhead or cover the costs associated with maintaining its interests in the Sierra Mojada project in Mexico or its potential mineral interests in Kazakhstan.

Name Change Proposal

The Company's board of directors believes that the proposed name change from Silver Bull Resources, Inc. to MaxMetals Corp. is appropriate to better describe the Company's focus and anticipated exploration activities.

The Meeting is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. PT on Wednesday, December 16, 2020, at the Company's offices at 777 Dunsmuir Street, Suite 1610, Vancouver, British Columbia.
