Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Announces Financing With 2 Lead Orders

Burlington, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – February 9, 2022) – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) announces its intention to carry out an accretive non-brokered financing of Units. Each Unit will be priced at $0.40 (forty cents) per Unit and will comprise of one common share and one full 60-cent (sixty cent) warrant with a 24-month term, with each such warrant being exercisable into a common share (the “Financing”). Readers are reminded the Qualifying Transaction that resulted in SBMI being a reporting issuer in December, 2021 was carried out at $0.30 per share.

“As we’ve disclosed many times, the global supply chain has been problematic for us,” said Mr. A. John Carter, SBMI’s CEO. “Unavoidable third-party delays, especially through the port of Long Beach, caused the Company to consume working capital that otherwise would not have been consumed. Further, with the passage of time, we have experienced pandemic-related increases in the cost of parts, logistics, fuel and supplies. All of this has put stress on the treasury. While SBMI continues to have considerable cash in its account, effecting a financing now is a combination of insurance and ensuring SBMI can execute on its revised 2022 plans in both Arizona and better-than-expected Idaho. It’s the responsible thing to do.”

The minimum and maximum gross proceeds from the Financing will be $500,000 (five hundred thousand dollars) and $2,000,000 (two million dollars), respectively. The minimum and maximum number of Units to issue as a result of the Financing are 1,250,000 and 5,000,000, respectively. Units will be allocated on a first come, first served basis although SBMI retains the right to accept or reject subscription agreements in its sole discretion.

SBMI has two lead orders on the Financing, one for CDN$180,000 and the other for USD$200,000, from two existing shareholders who are accredited investors, who each committed to participating in the Financing without knowing its terms. Other existing shareholders have also expressed an interest in participating in the Financing without knowing its terms.

Net proceeds from the Financing, assuming the minimum, will be used to fund operations in Arizona until the Buckeye Silver Mine begins generating revenue, most likely in May, 2022 (see SBMI press release dated February 7, 2022 for details on the timing of revenue generation). Net proceeds from the Financing, assuming the maximum, will be used to fund and expand operations in Arizona until the Buckeye Silver Mine begins generating revenue (up to approximately $800,000), to fund development of the Washington Mine in Idaho (up to approximately $500,000), and to fund exploration and development of the McMorris Mine in Arizona (up to approximately $500,000). In either case some of the proceeds will fund costs related to the Financing, working capital and overhead. The amount of costs related to the Financing will vary depending upon the amount paid as referral fees, which is unknown as this time.

SBMI purchased the Washington Mine in Idaho in December, 2020. The Company expected to warehouse that property until after the Buckeye Silver Mine began generating revenue so minimal allocation was made for it in SBMI’s 2021 or 2022 budget. However, preliminary work at the Washington Mine revealed it could be capable of near-term revenue generation, resulting in the January 18, 2022 press release disclosing the assay results from a blended bulk sample of 55.5 oz/t silver. Management wants to accelerate work at the Washington Mine which will require some of the capital being raised in the Financing.

Customary prospectus exemptions will be relied upon for the Financing, including the “Accredited Investor” exemption and the “Distributions to Existing Security Holders” exemption pursuant to section 2.9 of Ontario Securities Commission Rule 45-501 (the ‘Existing Securityholder Exemption’). Management believes this to be a democratic means of effecting the Financing.

Investors subscribing for Units under the Existing Securityholder Exemption must meet certain conditions set out in Rule 45-501. The Company has set Monday, February 7, 2022 as the record date. Subscribers purchasing Units under the Existing Shareholder Exemption will need to represent in writing that they meet certain requirements of the Existing Shareholder Exemption, including that they were, on such record date, a common shareholder of the Company and still are a shareholder as at the closing date. The aggregate acquisition cost to a subscriber under the Existing Shareholder Exemption cannot exceed $15,000 in the 12-month period immediately preceding the closing of the Financing, unless that subscriber has obtained advice from a registered investment dealer regarding the suitability of the investment. There is no minimum subscription amount. Any SBMI shareholder can subscribe, subject to the conditions above and in the subscription agreement.

Referral fees may be paid to arm’s length persons in connection with the issuance of the Units. Other than the subscription agreement, there will be no further offering material provided to Existing Security Holders or others related to Financing. The subscription agreement is available at the Company’s website https://www.silverbulletmines.com/technical-corporatedocuments. The Financing is subject to regulatory approval.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Sets Timetable for Silver Production

Burlington, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – February 7, 2022) – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) announces the arrival of its third and final shipping container at its millsite near Globe, Arizona.

The container finally cleared through the port of Long Beach and its contents were delivered to the millsite this past weekend. This container holds the motor and drive train for the ball mill, which are the final major components required to complete construction. The Company will now be able to locally acquire further minor parts as needed as Globe is a ‘mining town’ home to various mining supply stores.

The picture above is a recent one from the millsite showing one of the four conveyors being installed. The actual ball mill is the large steel object to the middle left.

“This is a tremendously important milestone for the shareholders,” said A. John Carter, SBMI’s CEO. “The delivery of the motor and drive train was the only major factor beyond our control. It’s been painful to see costs increase while we had to wait for these items. Now, it should take between 30 and 40 days to complete construction, following which the field team will run roughly two weeks’ worth of low-grade material to fine-tune the components. Then we intend to start processing the higher-grade material from our nearby Buckeye Silver Mine.”

In anticipation of the mill’s imminent completion SBMI stockpiled at the millsite mineralized material extracted from the Buckeye Silver Mine. Like any responsible producer SBMI has its own assay lab, at which it will run daily assays for grade control, cost control and immediacy of results.

Once in production SBMI intends to produce silver dore bars, to be sold to a smelter or a commodities trader. SBMI is in discussions with several such groups in anticipation of having saleable product in April, 2022, which means the Company anticipates being in receipt of cash payments soon thereafter. Those cash payments will buttress SBMI’s treasury, which since the start of the pandemic has suffered through escalating costs of shipping, parts, supplies, fuel, services and equipment.

“Getting into production logically leads to risk-mitigating cash flow into the Company,” said Mr. Carter. “Then we can turn our efforts to the Washington Mine in Idaho and the McMorris Mine in Arizona, both former producers. The Washington Mine seems to be even better than we expected, as shown by the recent bulk sample results returning 55.5 oz/t silver.”

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Commences Extraction of Mineralized Material at Its Buckeye Silver Mine in Arizona

Burlington, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – January 27, 2022) – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) announces it has begun extracting mineralized material from its Buckeye Silver Mine in Arizona after taking delivery of its first shipment of blasting powder. SBMI’s intention is to produce an initial total of 10,000 tonnes of mineralized material at a rate of 125 tonnes per day.

SBMI also announces it has been invited by the TMX Group to ring the bell at market open on Monday, January 31st at 9:30 am Eastern Standard Time, a rare honour for a new junior mining company.

SBMI’s initial target is the high-grade silver zone identified in 1976 by K.C. Delise, a Registered Geologist, in a report titled Surface/Underground Mapping and Sampling. Accompanying the report was a Mine Shaft Survey dated October 23, 1976 prepared by him for International Resources and Minerals Development Company. In his report he mapped and identified this zone as extending approximately 500 feet along strike.

The Company has found a summary of assay results from 1976 and 1977 from Clarkson Labs of San Diego, CA. SBMI believes these resulted from samples taken by Delise in his 1976 field work at the Buckeye. These assays returned spectacularly high values for gold, silver and copper. The highest value for gold was 4.8 opt, for silver was 8,970 opt, and for copper was 30.7%.

This information is historical in nature and pre-dates NI43-101. SBMI does not know the methods by which such work was carried out, or whether all or part of it was under the supervision of a Qualified Person, as that term is defined in NI43-101. SBMI refers to such data and observations to inform its knowledge of the area.

Nick Barr, one of SBMI’s consulting geologists, carried out his own analysis of Delise’s work in 2015, as part of which he produced notes, sections and longitudinals. He also plotted the 1976 Clarkson Labs assay results noted above onto Mr. Delise’s original Mining Shaft Survey. In addition to Delise’s and other historical records, SBMI is also relying upon these documents created by Mr. Barr as well as his current first-hand experience at the Buckeye.

“This is a significant accomplishment”, said SBMI’s VP Mining, Mr. Ron Murphy. “We have completed the rehabilitation of the underground and have commenced mining as we blast into what we believe to be Delise’s documented high-grade zone. The training, experience and talent of our seasoned mining crew has allowed us to achieve these goals in a short period of time.”

The mineralized material blasted and extracted from the Buckeye will be stockpiled at SBMI’s proximate millsite for eventual processing at SBMI’s gravity pilot plant, which is nearing completion. The Company also plans to run assays in its own assay facility on-site on multiple samples from the mineralized material to determine grades.

As previously disclosed, SBMI’s assay lab on-site in Arizona is managed by Robert Budd, a Metallurgical Process Engineer who began his career in metallurgical engineering in 1972. He has held various positions with various employers including Senior Engineer, Superintendent, Engineer, Technical Assistant, Technician, and Lab Assistant. Most recently, prior to joining SBMI he was involved in designing and creating an internal assay facility in Arizona for Freeport McMorran Inc. Working with Mr. Budd in SBMI’s assay facility is Vic Power, a Registered Professional Assayer for the state of Arizona. Mr. Budd and Mr. Power will ensure all QA/QC practices will be adhered to, including sending samples from each run to an independent accredited lab for corroboration.

It is intended the state-of-the-art gravity pilot plant should be ready to commence the processing of mineralized material in approximately sixty days, depending on the timing of delivery of certain mill items. Such deliveries are beyond SBMI’s control. The progress of both the mine and mill can be followed at www.silverbulletmines.com or on Twitter @bulletmines.

“Having our own assay lab and mill should make us incredibly efficient,” said Mr. John Carter, SBMI’s CEO who also designed the gravity pilot plant. “We will be able to have assay results back in less than a day, which will empower us to select mineralization within our target ranges to process.”

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Assays 55.5 Oz/Ton Silver from a Bulk Sample at Its 100%-Owned Washington Mine in Idaho

Burlington, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – January 18, 2022) – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to report excellent assay results from a bulk sample from its Washington Mine in Idaho (the ‘Property’). The assay results from SBMI’s own assay lab on site have been corroborated by a third-party accredited lab.

“The importance of these results cannot be overstated,” said A. John Carter, the Company’s CEO. “These results support three important conclusions. First, they are in line with historical data, which increases our comfort level with using that data for guidance. Second, they show the Property is still mineralized with silver and gold. Third, and I think most importantly, it confirms that QA/QC processes both in our own lab and at the third-party lab return very similar results. This further validates our lab.”

The results are below. Lines 1, 2, 3 and 4 were processed in SBMI’s lab in Arizona. Line 5 was processed by Paragon Geochemical, a third-party lab. These values are in oz/ton silver.

Paragon also assayed for gold, which across the four quarters returned 1.82g/t, 2.49g/t, 1.77g/t, and 1.4g/t respectively. SBMI did not assay for gold.

As indicated above the SBMI average across all quarters was 55.5 oz/ton silver. This equates to over 1,902 g/t silver at a conversion rate of 34.285.

SBMI collected the bulk sample from eight locations at the Property. The material from each of the eight locations was blended into an 80-kilogram bulk sample, with the result being crushed and quartered. Five kilograms of material was removed from each quarter and processed by SBMI as sixteen assays in total. Five kilograms of material was removed from each quarter and processed by Paragon as four assays.

The Company intends to send the fourth quarter of the bulk sample for ore characterization and metallurgical testing to Montana Technical University, Centre for Advanced Mineral Processing. The remaining parts of the bulk sample including the pulps and rejects have been retained by SBMI as part of its QA/QC practices.

SBMI’s assay lab on-site in Arizona is managed by Robert Budd, a Metallurgical Process Engineer who began his career in metallurgical engineering in 1972. He has held various positions with various employers including Senior Engineer, Superintendent, Engineer, Technical Assistant, Technician, and Lab Assistant. Most recently, prior to joining SBMI he was involved in designing and creating an internal assay facility in Arizona for Freeport McMorran Inc. He has also been the Chief Metallurgist for Northern Sphere Mining Corporation in Arizona, the Principal Process Specialist for Fluor Canada out of Vancouver, the Senior Metallurgical Engineer for Doe Run Lead, the Project Engineer for the commissioning of a copper concentrator start-up at Oz Minerals’ Prominent Hill Mine in South Australia, Senior Metallurgical Engineer for Cyprus Miami/Phelps Dodge Miami in Arizona, Metallurgical Engineer and Metallurgical Lab Supervisor for Newmont Gold in Nevada, and Chief Metallurgist for Inspiration/Cyprus Miami in Arizona among other positions.

Working with Mr. Budd in SBMI’s assay facility is Vic Power, a Registered Professional Assayer for the state of Arizona.

“We have an extremely high level of confidence in our team and in the accuracy of our assays,” said Mr. Carter. “Today’s results only add to that confidence.” SBMI’s management believes these assays confirm the tenor and range of grades reported historically from the silver veins, but cautions they may not be representative of the average grade of mineralization within the full width or extent of any of the muck piles or mineralized structures present on the Property.

The next steps at the Property are to continue sampling, to take the steps necessary to go underground for visual inspection and sampling, and then to take a larger bulk sample. As the Property is on patented lands the process of permitting required to re-open the Washington Mine is more streamlined. SBMI is in discussions with third parties for the purchase of the resulting ore and/or concentrate and has identified potential mill facilities near the Property. SBMI is also considering whether to ship larger samples from the Washington Mine to SBMI’s assay facility in Arizona.

Meanwhile, in Arizona, SBMI continues to advance work at the mill site and mine site at its massive Black Diamond property, which hosts among others the Buckeye Silver Mine. SBMI has been advised it has been moved up the list for the unloading of its shipping container at Long Beach, but cannot provide a firm date upon which such unloading will take place. Assuming it takes place in the next two weeks, SBMI is still on a timeline for pilot production at the Buckeye Silver Mine by the end of this quarter.

QA/QC at SBMI’s Facility

The samples analyzed by SBMI at its facility near Globe, Arizona were processed through the Lab Jaw Crusher, Lab Hammer Mill and Splitter Box into an aliquot. Most of the pulverized aliquot was mixed with a flux and flour combination and melted in a crucible at 1,850 degree Fahrenheit, with the remainder being logged and archived. Upon cooling, the poured melt was in the form of a metal button and slag, following which a bone ash cupel was utilized to eliminate the lead in the button to form a bead. The bead was then weighed, following which a solution of 6 to 1 distilled water to nitric acid was utilized to dissolve the silver in the bead at approximately 175 degrees Fahrenheit. A much more detailed description of the process and a picture of the assay lab can be found at https://www.silverbulletmines.com/qaqcassaylab.

QA/QC at Paragon

The samples reported above were collected by the Company’s project geologist and then bagged, labeled, securely stored and sent to Paragon Geochemical in Sparks, Nevada following the Company’s standard QA/QC protocols and the use of independent testing labs. Silver and gold values were determined using fire assay with gravimetric finish using SOP-230. Paragon Geochemical is an IAS accredited full service geochemical laboratory in compliance with ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. It also holds a Certificate of Registration for its Quality Management System under ISO 9001:2015 for the testing of metal content in metal and mineral samples for mining companies.

The Qualified Person for this press release is Mr. Ron Wortel, P.Eng., who oversaw all of SBMI’s work referred to herein. Mr. Wortel is also President and a director of the Company.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Provides Pilot Plant Construction Update

Burlington, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – January 5, 2022) – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) is very pleased to provide an update on the construction of its modular pilot plant in Arizona.

The plant is wholly-owned by SBMI and is intended upon completion to process up to 125 metric tonnes of material per day. It is of modular design capable of being expanded in size and modified as required. The plant is being constructed on SBMI-owned private property approximately 8 miles from Globe, Arizona and in proximity to its Buckeye Silver Mine. As per the flow chart below, the plant is state of the art.

“The leadership team at SBMI has a substantial equity position so we like all shareholders are thrilled to see the plant be built as designed,” said A. John Carter, the Company’s CEO. “Despite ongoing supply chain issues and exorbitant material and transportation cost increases, we remain on track to start commissioning in the first quarter of 2022. In anticipation of that commissioning, the Company has approximately 1000 tonnes of material already stockpiled for feed.”

The plant consists of a coarse ore feed bin, a fine ore bin, two stage crushing and screening, and a variable speed computer-controlled feed belt that leads to a grinding circuit. The grinding circuit is a ball mill in closed circuit with a bank of cyclones. The plan is for product from the ball mill to be pumped directly to a pair of Falcon concentrators. The product from the concentrators is then fed by gravity to a full size Diester concentrating table. Tailings from the Falcons and from the table are returned to the grinding circuit.

The cyclones then split the feed with the oversize material going back to the ball mill and the undersize material going to the tailings thickener. Processed material of the appropriate size is then sent to the bullion furnace where dore bars are poured. All tailings are dewatered and all available water is recycled.

The plant is designed to maximize the recovery of both gold and silver, although its modular nature means it can be adjusted to recover other metals.

Currently over 90% of the necessary equipment is onsite and being assembled (go to www.silverbulletmines.com to see pictures of the plant being built, or follow on Twitter @BulletMines). The remainder is in a container in Long Beach, California waiting to be off-loaded, on a timeline beyond the Company’s control. Some small items are to be purchased as required.

In addition to owning its own processing plant, SBMI owns an on-site assay facility which can provide assay results in less than a day. It also owns its own 2-boom jumbo, LHD (load-haul-dump), large Bobcat, and various other equipment. Owning all this equipment will allow the Company to process feed material quickly, efficiently and economically, as well as to generate revenue, without debt payments draining cash. The Company is in discussions with various groups concerning the purchase of both the dore and the concentrates.

Finally, SBMI announces it does not intend to spend capital on a third party resource estimate or Preliminary Economic Analysis for the Buckeye Silver Mine. In the Company’s opinion, given the nature of the known mineralization, the extensive historical third-party documentation, and the leadership team’s direct experience at Buckeye, a third party resource estimate or PEA would be prohibitively expensive to have written without actually advancing the Company’s knowledge of the Buckeye. “This is old school mining,” continued Mr. Carter, “and for this project it’s the right way. Producing from 6-foot wide silver veins is not your standard mining opportunity, which means it requires a non-standard approach. Here, we believe the right approach is to carry out our own internal economic analysis.”

The next major events at Buckeye will be the arrival on-site of the third container through the Long Beach supply chain, and the delivery of assay results from a third party accredited lab on one-quarter of the 150 pound bulk sample announced December 15, 2021. The Company has no direct control over the timing of either of those events but does continue to work with its suppliers to expedite them a much as possible.

Silver Bullet Mines Reports 6,174 g/t Silver and 18 g/t Gold at Its Washington Mine in Idaho

Burlington, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – December 15, 2021) – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (“SBMI” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the first technical disclosure on its work at the Washington Mine on patented lands in the prolific placer gold district in Idaho (the “Property”). Three rounds of sampling were carried out and are reported below.

The results from these rounds provided confirmation of the high grade nature of the Property’s mineralization potential; direction for the development of a bulk sampling program; and, discovery of parallel mineralized structures. These sets of results indicate the potential for the development of early production from the site through bulk sampling and for the ongoing discovery and development of additional silver and gold resources.

History

The references below to data and observations derived from work not carried out by SBMI is of historical nature only and cannot be relied upon at this time. SBMI does not know the methods by which such work was carried out, or whether all or part of it was under the supervision of a Qualified Person, as that term is defined in NI43-101. SBMI refers to such data and observations to inform its knowledge of the area and to support its thesis for exploration.

The Property first saw production in the late 1800’s with an average gold grade of one ounce per ton. It again produced in the 1930’s during which the then-owner lacked the process capability needed to produce silver, so a decision was then made to block out the silver mineralization with the intention of returning at a future date to process the silver. To the best of SBMI’s knowledge, that never happened. A report included an estimate of 3 million ounces of silver with a grade of 30 to 90 ounces per ton and 15,000 ounces of gold at 0.3 ounces per ton for the veins identified on the Property at the time. Further work must be carried out to confirm the precise location of those veins and the property boundaries at the time. (Source, “Geological Evaluation”, Roger G. Stoker, P.G. and Ryne C. Stoker, Student Geologist, Energy Services Inc., December, 1981.)

In the 1980’s the previous owner reopened the underground and produced a bulk sample claimed to be representative of the silver mineralization in the Washington Vein. The bulk sample was sent to Hecla Smelting for processing with the head grade reported to be 44 ounces silver per ton. (Source, Stoker, ibid.)

Finally, Stoker indicated the location of the “Berger Vein”, described as a “gold ore shoot 25 feet wide, 135 feet long, and unknown depth.” Average grades were given as 0.3 oz/ton gold with unknown silver content. Additional notes in Stoker suggest that the Berger Vein was intersected in drifting at the 400 foot level.

SBMI’s 2021 Work Program – Overview

Following its purchase of the Washington Mine, the Company conducted mapping, sampling and grid soil geochemistry, and prepared staging areas for pending underground rehab and bulk sampling.

Efforts also focused on securing permits, engaging contractors, cutting timber for mine support, and making improvements to the access road. Geologic interpretation of field data is ongoing, and SBMI remains very encouraged with initial findings. Management believes the evidence to date supports historical accounts of previously mined grades and of the presence of strongly mineralized parallel vein structures.

SBMI’s 2021 Work Program – Step One

During Covid-19 shutdowns and while waiting for corporate paperwork to be processed, SBMI reassessed the Property’s historical data and based upon its conclusions, SBMI assayed samples of mineralized vein material that it had collected in December, 2020. The highlights of those assays are below:

The complete table will be posted at SBMI’s web site www.silverbulletmines.com. Readers are cautioned that samples are by their nature selective and may not reflect the overall nature of the property. The values above for silver in oz/ton were rounded off to the nearest digit.

Said A. John Carter, SBMI’s CEO, “Based in part on the historical records we knew we had a high possibility of success at the Washington Mine. We were pleasantly surprised the values in the samples were as high as they were. Those values required immediate follow-up.”

SBMI’s Work Program – Step Two

In July of 2021 the Company completed a limited grid soil sampling program of approximately 50 sites on three lines on each side of the Washington Shaft. The program was designed to provide an initial data set for the discovery of potential parallel mineralized structures. The sampling results from the west side of the Washington Shaft did not identify any mineralized structures within the grid.

The samples from the east grid did return significant results in terms of grade and location. The highlights from this limited program included 9.13, 4.58, and 1.06 g/t gold across three lines in near surface soil samples. The Company believes these are very good grades for soil samples and for this limited amount of sampling.

The samples collected by SBMI are located in a zone where the historical reports indicated the location of the “Berger Vein”, referenced above in Stoker. The initial results above encouraged the field team to specifically map and sample this mineralized structure. The Company is waiting on the assay results of this targeted sampling program.

SBMI’s Work Program – Step Three

The follow-up also involved additional investigations and site work. SBMI carried out a more detailed sampling program, including exposing the vein at surface, opening the adit, sampling across the vein, sampling the historical ore bins in the Washington Shaft, sampling the crushed ore from the south shaft stockpile, and sampling the Weatherby Portal.

This program was extremely successful. Highlights of the assay results from the sampling program are below.

08-26-21 K0.3423742109

*LDL = Lower Detection Limit as provided by the Certified Assay Lab

The full table will be posted at the company’s website.

Continued Mr. Carter, “We were blown away by these results. While we expected strong values from the samples, especially from the crushed rock in the stockpile, we did not expect the ore bin to show over 180 ounces of silver per tonne and over six grams of gold per tonne. These are great numbers for our shareholders.”

SBMI also collected a small bulk sample from the available vein mineralization from the Property. This sample was crushed and quartered. One-quarter is out for assay at SBMI’s own assay facility in Arizona, one-quarter is out for assay at an independent lab, and one-quarter has been sent for ore characterization. The final quarter is retained by SBMI as part of QA/QC best practices. SBMI will report the results of the bulk sample as soon it receives the results from the independent third-party lab.

SBMI’s Work Program – Next Steps

SBMI is currently working with a contract miner on possible plans to reopen the Washington Mine. SBMI received a road upgrade permit from the US Forest Service and a Federal Mine ID number. As the mine is on patented lands the amount of permitting that is required is limited. SBMI is in discussions with third parties for the purchase of the resulting ore and/or concentrate and has identified potential mill facilities near the Property.

Management feels strongly that the Property fits precisely into its business model of high-grade lower risk near-term production, significant resource potential and substantial blue sky.

The Company will be providing a further update in the near future. A more detailed report on the Property can be found on our website www.silverbulletmines.com .

QA/QC

All of the samples taken by SBMI and referred to in this release were processed by Paragon Geochemical of Sparks, Nevada, an independent certified lab. Paragon tests for a 35 element suite using 0.25g 4-acid digestion/ICP-OES. Samples that ran over the detection limit were re-processed using a 30g fire assay and a gravimetric finish.

The Qualified Person for this press release is Mr. Ron Wortel, P.Eng., who oversaw all of SBMI’s work referred to herein. Mr. Wortel is also President and a director of the Company.

The Company also announces it has been advised by Mr. Jon Wiesblatt he is resigning from his position as a director of the Company to concentrate on other ventures. The Company thanks Mr. Wiesblatt for his contributions to the growth of the Company as a Capital Pool Company and through to the closing of its Qualifying Transaction.

Silver Bullet Mines Commences Trading and Provides Updates on Arizona and Idaho

Burlington, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – December 6, 2021) – Following the closing of its Qualifying Transaction and the listing of its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol SBMI, Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (“SBMI” or “the Company”) is excited to provide its first operational update.

SBMI’s flagship asset is the Black Diamond Project located in the major mining camp of Globe, Arizona. Black Diamond is a massive project, covering 4900 acres and hosting five former producing silver mines. SBMI also owns the George Washington Mine, a former silver and gold producer in Idaho on patented lands.

SBMI’s goals are:

  1. Put the Buckeye Silver Mine in pilot production in Q1/22, followed by full-scale production;
  2. Finalize plans to have the McMorris Silver Mine back in production within 24 months;
  3. Carry out exploration programs elsewhere on Black Diamond to enable a decision on the order in which the remaining former producers will be put back in production;
  4. Investigate the waste rock on surface at the George Washington Mine in Idaho; and
  5. Defend the treasury.

“The team has made astonishing progress in mining-friendly Arizona,” said A. John Carter, SBMI’s CEO. “In a short period of time we have gone from an empty field to having a mill pad and an assay lab. Having our own lab means we can be nimble underground and not waste time waiting for third party labs to get around to processing our samples. Our goal of positive cash flow is closer every day.”

Some parts for SBMI’s mill have been installed onsite at the Buckeye Silver Mine after navigating through the port of Long Beach. Other parts are still in the supply chain and are beyond SBMI’s control for the time being. If those parts are significantly delayed, SBMI can choose to accelerate the program at the George Washington Mine in Idaho. Once finalized, the mill will have the capacity to process 125 tonnes of ore per day.

Concerning that program in Idaho, Mr. Carter continued, “We have taken grab samples from the waste rock at surface and expect assay results shortly. If, as we anticipate, the results justify further investigation, we would expect to process a bulk sample to test historical results and to determine ore characteristics including representative grades of silver and gold.”

The Company also plans to investigate Black Diamond’s potential to host a copper porphyry, as referenced in the Company’s January 8, 2021 Technical Report. The mill is not needed for this task. See page 7 at https://www.silverbulletmines.com/technical-documents for the technical reference to the possible copper porphyry, and see SBMI’s new website for site video, photos, maps, historical reports and leadership team biographies at www.silverbulletmines.com.

Because almost all of Black Diamond consists of BLM claims or patented lands owned by SBMI, SBMI does not have expensive annual payments or advanced royalty payments to make. Relative to the large size of the land package, the annual carrying costs are quite small.

SBMI has roughly 55,000,000 shares outstanding of which approximately 29,000,000 are in escrow. Almost all of the outstanding warrants and options have a strike price equal to or greater than the price in the recent over-subscribed financing. The Company has no debt outstanding other than normal trade payables.

SBMI expects to disseminate technical information in the near future, in compliance with NI43-101. It is possible the first technical disclosure will be on the assay results from the surface rock in Idaho.

To introduce itself to individual and institutional investors as well as advisors and analysts, SBMI will be carrying out a real-time, interactive presentation at the Emerging Growth Conference this Wednesday, December 8 at 11:00 am EST. This live, interactive online event will give existing shareholders and the investment community the opportunity to interact with Mr. Peter M. Clausi, SBMI’s VP, Capital Markets, in real time.

Mr. Clausi will provide a general overview of SBMI, its capital structure, its achievements in the field, and its plans for the future. The floor will then be open for questions.

Please register here to ensure attendance at the conference and to receive any updates that are released.
