Silver Bull Provides Update On Its Arbitration Case Against Mexico
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 30, 2025 / Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (OTCQB:SVBL)(TSX:SVB) ('Silver Bull' or the 'Company') provides an update on the progress of its international arbitration claim against the United Mexican States ('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. For a full summary of the Sierra Mojada resource, please refer to Silver Bull's news release located at the following link: On behalf of the Board of Directors 'Tim Barry' Tim Barry, CPAusIMM President and Chief Executive Officer and Director INVESTOR RELATIONS: 1 604 687 5800 [email protected] Cautionary note regarding forward looking statements: This news release may contain certain information that is forward-looking and is subject to important risks and uncertainties (such statements include statements regarding the final approval of the Private Placement by the Exchange and other statements implying a future state which are usually accompanied by words such as 'anticipate', 'expect', 'believe', 'may', 'will', 'should', 'estimate', 'intend' or other similar words).

Makarika Bridge Repairs Reveal Reminder Of The Past
Press Release – Gisborne District Council This repair work is part of last Octobers Governments $230m recovery package for Tairwhiti local roads and bridges which consists of four projects including slips and dropout repairs, bridge repairs, roadside drainage supporting iwi communities … When a powerful drilling rig came to a grinding halt on Makarika no. 2 Bridge near Ruatorea last week, it was an unexpected find that once again reminded us of the rich history of our rural areas. Buried below the riverbed, a concrete structure was identified as the foundations from the first ever Makarika no. 2 Bridge, a 151-metre suspension bridge built more than 100 years ago. According to Council records, a multi-cable suspension bridge was built by the Public Works Department around 1923 to cross the fast moving and rising Mata River and open up new connections to farming stations, previously accessible only by fording the river. Gisborne District Council Director Community Lifelines, Tim Barry said the construction of a suspension bridge at that time in rural Ruatorea was nothing short of amazing. 'This bridge would have been met with rapture and celebration by local whānau and industry, considering the reality of life without bridges in rural Tairāwhiti back then,' he said. The suspension bridge was replaced with the current Makarika no.2 bridge in 1977 by Waiapu County Council. This bridge was hit by Cyclone Gabrielle in February 2023, causing damage to the pier and abutment retaining wall on the Ruatorea side. The pier was replaced and a temporary bailey bridge was installed to maintain access, providing time to plan a suitable repair. One year later, a permanent fix is now underway. Major works started earlier this month to rebuild the damaged retaining wall and reinstate the road approach. The bailey bridge will then be removed and works completed by July this year, weather permitting. 'We would like to thank the Makarika community for their patience while we work through these repairs,' added Mr Barry. 'There will be short periods when the bridge needs to be closed while we remove the bailey bridge, but we'll work with the community to ensure they are well informed and prepared ahead of time. 'I'm proud of the work we've done since funding was approved in October last year, but we understand how frustrating the process has been for all communities affected by recurring weather events.' The Makarika no.2 bridge repairs are part of the programme to fix more than 130 bridges damaged in Cyclone Gabrielle and recurring weather events. Council has repaired 59 of 97 bridges requiring major repairs and work has been completed on half of the 36 bridges needing minor repairs. This repair work is part of last October's Government's $230m recovery package for Tairāwhiti local roads and bridges which consists of four projects including slips and dropout repairs, bridge repairs, roadside drainage supporting iwi communities and the Tiniroto repairs and bypass.
