Silver Bull Provides Update On Its Arbitration Case Against Mexico
Silver Bull announces that it has filed its Reply to Mexico's Counter-Memorial in the arbitration that Silver Bull initiated on 28 June 2023 under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ('USMCA') and the North American Free Trade Agreement ('NAFTA') before the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes ('ICSID'). Under the current schedule, Mexico now has until August 26, 2025 to file its Rejoinder before the case proceeds to a hearing, which will commence on October 6, 2025.
A summary of the key points of Silver Bull's claim is provided below:
Silver Bull's CEO, Mr. Tim Barry commented, 'While Silver Bull had intended to continue developing the Sierra Mojada Project, an illegal blockade initiated in September 2019 by a small group of local miners - seeking to extort an unearned royalty payment from the Company has persisted to this day. Despite obtaining a favorable ruling from the Mexican courts dismissing the group's royalty claims, and despite repeated requests for the Mexican Government to enforce the law and remove the illegal blockade, the Government has continuously elected not to act. As a result, Silver Bull has been denied access to the site for more than five years, preventing the Company from conducting its lawful business activities in Mexico. This has led to the complete loss of Silver Bull's investment and the destruction of shareholder value at Sierra Mojada. The Mexican Government's actions and inactions directly drove investors away and effectively expropriated the Sierra Mojada Project.'.
BACKGROUND TO THE CLAIM: The arbitration has been initiated under the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States process, which falls under the auspices of the World Bank's ICSID, to which Mexico is a signatory.
Silver Bull officially notified Mexico on March 2, 2023 of its intention to initiate an arbitration owing to Mexico's breaches of NAFTA by unlawfully expropriating Silver Bull's investments without compensation, failing to provide Silver Bull and its investments with fair and equitable treatment or full protection and security, and not upholding NAFTA's national treatment standard.
Silver Bull held a meeting with Mexican government officials in Mexico City on May 30, 2023, in an attempt to explore amicable settlement options and avoid arbitration. However, the 90-day period for amicable settlement under NAFTA expired on June 2, 2023, without a resolution.
Despite repeated demands and requests for action by the Company, Mexico's governmental agencies have allowed the unlawful blockade to continue, thereby failing to protect Silver Bull's investments. Consequently, Silver Bull is seeking to recover an amount of US$374.9M (including interest) in damages that it has suffered due to Mexico's breach of its obligations under NAFTA.
THE SIERRA MOJADA DEPOSIT: Silver Bull's only asset is the Sierra Mojada deposit located in Coahuila, Mexico. Sierra Mojada is an open pittable oxide deposit with a NI 43-101 compliant Measured and Indicated 'global' Mineral Resource of 70.4 million tonnes grading 3.4% zinc and 38.6 g/t silver for 5.35 billion pounds of contained zinc and 87.4 million ounces of contained silver. Included within the 'global' Mineral Resource is a Measured and Indicated 'high grade zinc zone' of 13.5 million tonnes with an average grade of 11.2% zinc at a 6% cutoff, for 3.336 billion pounds of contained zinc, and a Measured and Indicated 'high grade silver zone' of 15.2 million tonnes with an average grade of 114.9 g/t silver at a 50 g/t cutoff for 56.3 million contained ounces of silver. Mineralization remains open in the east, west, and northerly directions.

Want to Get a Facelift Abroad? You Might Need a Plastic Surgery Broker
Those on their facelift journey are now at a crossroads. With everyone's social feeds flooded with seemingly perfect results from international surgeons (Guadalajara facelift TikTok is just one of the many tempting reasons to book a trip to Mexico), many are asking themselves if they would go to another country for a procedure at half the cost and possibly better results. Medical tourism only continues to rise. According to a report done by Fortune Business Insights, the global medical tourism market is projected to grow from its current worth of $38.2 billion to $162.8 billion by 2032. Studies show that cosmetic and dental surgeries in countries such as Mexico, Thailand, and Hungary cost a fraction (anywhere from 25% to 50% to be exact) of what those same procedures might cost here in the US. But patients aren't letting costs be the only factor driving their decisions to seek help outside the States. They're letting incredible results pique their interests as well. 'Clients today are far more educated and outcome-focused,' Melinda Farina, founder of Beauty Brokers Inc., tells Vogue. 'They've seen global results, and they're asking for specific surgeons, not just destinations.' Farina, whose consulting firm connects patients with its network of plastic surgeons, says that top international destinations for her clients include Turkey, Italy, Brazil, and Colombia. She explains that the quality of surgical work in the US can sometimes be disproportionate to the inflated prices of these surgeries, while surgeons abroad are delivering more nuanced and sophisticated results. 'What people don't realize is that these international surgeons aren't operating in 'discount' markets; many are setting new standards in technique and outcome,' she says. 'Some of the most sophisticated work in facial and body aesthetics is happening outside the US, and our clients know it.' The impulsive answer would be, 'Hell yes, let's go abroad for a facelift.' But after the initial high wears off and you get down to the logistics, you'll realize that you have the extra homework of researching if a surgeon in another country is the right fit. This is where a plastic surgery broker may come in handy. How does hiring a plastic surgery broker work? According to Joshua Rosenberg, MD, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon at Mount Sinai, there are a few different kinds of plastic surgery brokers. You can turn to commercial platforms that charge patients for access to their network of vetted surgeons. There are brokers who are employed by health systems or embassies that assist patients with medical care abroad. Then there are the private plastic surgery brokers that typically work on a fee basis, charging patients and/or plastic surgeons for their services as a middleman.
