ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 8, 1993 as the Cadgie Company for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. The Cadgie Company was a spin-off from its predecessor, Precious Metal Mines, Inc. On June 28, 1996, the Company’s name was changed to Metalline Mining Company. On April 21, 2011, the Company’s name was changed to Silver Bull Resources, Inc. The Company’s fiscal year-end is October 31. The Company has not realized any revenues from its planned operations and is considered an exploration stage company. The Company has not established any reserves with respect to its exploration projects and is not expected to enter into the development stage with respect to any of its projects.

 

The Company owns a number of property concessions located in Coahuila, Mexico (collectively known as the “Sierra Mojada Property”). The Company conducts its operations in Mexico through its wholly-owned subsidiary corporations, Minera Metalin S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Metalin”) and Minas de Coahuila SBR S.A. de C.V. (“Minas”).

On April 16, 2010, Metalline Mining Delaware, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the State of Delaware, was merged with and into Dome Ventures Corporation (“Dome”), a Delaware corporation. As a result, Dome became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Dome has a wholly-owned subsidiary Dome Asia Inc., incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.

On April 23, 2023, Nomad Minerals Ltd. (“Nomad Minerals"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. On April 28, 2023, Nomad Metals Limited was incorporated at Astana International Financial Centre in Astana, Republic of Kazakhstan, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nomad Minerals.

The Company’s efforts and expenditures have been concentrated on the exploration of properties, principally in the Sierra Mojada Property located in Coahuila, Mexico (the “Sierra Mojada Project”). The Company has not determined whether its exploration properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The ultimate realization of the Company’s investment in exploration properties is dependent upon the success of future property sales, the existence of economically recoverable reserves, and the ability of the Company to obtain financing or make other arrangements for exploration, development, and future profitable production activities. The ultimate realization of the Company’s investment in exploration properties cannot be determined at this time.

The Company is presently pursuing an Arbitration Claim (the “Arbitration” or the “Claim”) against the United Mexican States (“Mexico”). The Arbitration arises from Mexico’s unlawful expropriation and other unlawful treatment of Silver Bull and its investments resulting from the illegal blockade of Silver Bull’s Sierra Mojada Property. The Company is continuing to seek out other exploration projects for potential development and investment.

Exploration Stage

 

The Company has established the existence of mineral resources for the Sierra Mojada Project. The Company has not established proven or probable reserves, as defined by the United States Securities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”), through the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study for Sierra Mojada Project. Furthermore, the Company has no plans to establish proven or probable reserves for Sierra Mojada Project. As a result, the Company remains an exploration stage company, as defined by the SEC.

 

Beginning with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022, the Company reports its mineral resources in accordance with S-K 1300.

Going Concern

 

Since its inception in November 1993, the Company has yet to generate revenue and has incurred an accumulated deficit of $138,987,000. Accordingly, the Company has not generated cash flows from operations. Since inception, the Company has relied primarily upon proceeds from private placements and registered direct offerings of the Company’s equity securities, sales of investments and warrant exercises as the primary sources of financing to fund the Company’s operations. As of April 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $375,000. With respect to the anticipated costs associated with the aforementioned arbitration, as of September 5, 2023, the Company has secured third-party arbitration finance (“Funding Agreement” or the “LFA”) from Bench Walk Advisors LLC (“Bench Walk” or the “Funder”) in an amount of up to $9.5 million (Note 5). The funding has been completed as purchase of a contingent entitlement to damages in the event that a damages award is recovered from Mexico.

 

Despite the arbitration finance in place, based on the Company’s constrained cash and cash equivalents, and history of losses, there exists a certain level of uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to sustain its operation over the next 12 months as a going concern. While the Company entered into a Funding Agreement aimed at covering arbitration legal costs and certain other costs, supplemental fundraising will be essential to meet more extensive operational demands. Management plans to pursue possible financing and strategic options, including, but not limited to, obtaining additional equity financing, and the exercising of warrants by warrantholders. Management has successfully pursued these options previously and believes that they alleviate the substantial doubt that the Company can continue its operations for the next 12 months as a going concern. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in pursuing these plans.

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary in the event the Company can no longer continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
