President/CEO Tim Barry tells ResourceClips.com, �Sierra Mojada has been a historical mining district for the last 100 years. Silver Bull emerged from a merger between Metalline Mining and Dome Ventures. When Metalline had the property, they had it for over 16 years and focused almost exclusively on the zinc resource there. When the merger was done, and we got to the project, we noted there was significant at-surface silver mineralization kicking around that had never been tested. Zinc at the time was living in the 50-cent range, so we changed direction for the company and started focusing on the silver mineralization. To date, we�ve put out two resource updates. The resource right now is sitting at 47.8 million ounces indicated and 13.8 million ounces inferred, and that�s out of a global resource of 84 million ounces.
