VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/05/13 -- Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (TSX:SVB)(NYSE MKT:SVBL) ("Silver Bull") announced today a marketed public offering of units. Each unit will be comprised of one share of common stock of Silver Bull (a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Common Share, at an exercise price to be determined in the context of the market, for a period of 18 months from the closing of this offering. The pricing and number of units to be offered will be determined in the context of the market. PI Financial Corp. and Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. are acting as co-lead placement agents for the offering, and Roth Capital Partners, LLC is a co-placement agent in the United States in connection with this offering.

Silver Bull intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for the preparation of a resource update, metallurgical studies, commencement of a preliminary economic assessment and general working capital requirements with respect to advancement of its Sierra Mojada Silver Project in Mexico.

Silver Bull will apply to list the Common Shares to be issued in the offering and upon the exercise of the warrants on the TSX and NYSE MKT, but does not intend to apply to list the units or warrants to be issued in the offering on any stock exchange.
