Silver Bull Provides Update On The Sierra Mojada Project

Tim Barry, President, CEO and director of Silver Bull states, “We are extremely disappointed to see Mineros Norteños have filed an appeal against the third favorable ruling the Company has received on the frivolous law suit they filed back in 2014. The last favorable ruling was delivered to us in March of this year, but unfortunately due to the rapid spread of the Corona Virus in Mexico, the court system in Mexico has been shut down until very recently, which has caused a significant delay in potentially settling this case once and for all. Should Mineros Norteños lose this appeal then Silver Bull will win the case outright.

Redstar has a bright future and I’m excited to be leading this initiative.”

Xtierra to Re-Assess Bilbao with Increased Silver Prices

“The Bilbao project has historically been challenged by relatively low tonnage and low silver prices, however, with the much improved outlook for silver prices, approaching the level estimated in the PEA, combined with the 2010-2013 drill results which outlined the potential to expand tonnage and the unexplored high grade silver vein systems, the time is right to attract an operating producer with the experience to take the deposit to the next level.”

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, and CEO, remarked, “We first looked at acquiring Picacho in 2016, after the sale of SilverCrest Mines Inc. (SilverCrest’s predecessor) in 2015, as a continuation of our regional exploration program on search of a new district containing multiple precious metal epithermal veins. After 4 years of patience, we have now acquired the next district. The most historic prominent vein in the district, El Picacho Vein, can be easily accessed by a 4 metre by 4 metre underground decline which visually shows the vein underground as approximately 6 metres wide with historic grades and SilverCrest recent sampling results ranging from 350 to 1,000 gpt silver equivalent.”
