NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

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, at a special directors meeting, 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 may never enter into the development with respect to any of its projects.

The Company engages in the business of mineral exploration. The Company currently owns or has the option to acquire a number of property concessions in 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”) and Contratistas de Sierra Mojada S.A. de C.V. (“Contratistas”) and through Minera’s wholly-owned subsidiary 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, was merged with and into Dome Ventures Corporation (“Dome”). As a result, Dome became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Dome’s subsidiaries include its wholly-owned subsidiaries Dome Asia Inc. and Dome International Global Inc., which are incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Dome International Global Inc.’s subsidiaries include its wholly-owned subsidiaries incorporated in Gabon, Dome Ventures SARL Gabon and African Resources SARL Gabon, as well as its 99.99%-owned subsidiary, Dome Minerals Nigeria Limited incorporated in Nigeria. Dome Venture SARL Gabon has a wholly-owned subsidiary Gabon Resources SARL. The Company conducts its exploration activities in Gabon, Africa through Dome Ventures SARL Gabon and African Resources SARL Gabon.

The Company’s efforts have been concentrated in expenditures related to exploration properties, principally in the Sierra Mojada Property located in Coahuila, Mexico. The Company has not determined whether the 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, the ability of the Company to obtain financing or make other arrangements for development, and future profitable production. The ultimate realization of the Company’s investment in exploration properties cannot be determined at this time. Accordingly, no provision for any asset impairment that may result, in the event the Company is not successful in developing or selling these properties, has been made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 8.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim reporting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated during consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 31, 2012.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements (except as disclosed in Note 3). In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Uncertainties with respect to estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements; accordingly, operating results for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 are not necessary indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2013.

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies are defined in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 31, 2012 filed on February 4, 2013, except as follows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2013

Effective November 1, 2012, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This update amended explanations of how to measure fair value to result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The adoption of this standard had no material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Effective November 1, 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-05 , “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” to provide an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company chose to use the single continuous statement approach and the update had no effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Effective November 1, 2012 the Company adopted ASU 2011-08 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. This new guidance on testing goodwill provides an entity the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines that this is the case, it is required to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit (if any). If an entity determines that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The adoption of this guidance had no material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 201): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." This ASU adds certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013, with retrospective application required. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on the disclosure requirements for the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the SEC did not or are not believed to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – LOSS PER SHARE

The Company had stock options and warrants to purchase common stock in the aggregate of 22,110,173 shares and 6,018,910 shares outstanding at July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, respectively. They were not included in the calculation of loss per share because they would have been considered anti-dilutive.

NOTE 5 – RESTRICTED CASH

At July 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, the Company had $nil and $12,614 of restricted cash, respectively, which is classified as a current asset.

NOTE 6 – VALUE-ADDED TAX RECEIVABLE

Value-added tax (“VAT”) receivable relates to VAT paid in Mexico and Gabon. As a result of VAT collections in Mexico and Gabon during the nine months ended July 31, 2013, the Company estimates net VAT of $441,374 will be received within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

During the nine months ended July 31, 2013, the Company has received $385,291 and $495,314, inclusive of interest related to VAT tax returns, in Mexico and Gabon, respectively. The allowance for uncollectible VAT taxes was estimated by management based upon a number of factors including the length of time the returns have been outstanding, responses received from tax authorities, general economic conditions in Mexico and Gabon and estimated net recovery after commissions. During the nine months ended July 31, 2013, a provision of uncollectible VAT of $38,030 has been recorded.

A summary of the changes in the allowance for uncollectible VAT taxes for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 is as follows:

Allowance for uncollectible VAT taxes – October 31, 2012	$	203,835
Provision for uncollectible VAT Taxes		38,030
Write-off VAT receivable		(57,326	)
Foreign currency translation adjustment		(10,834	)
Allowance for uncollectible VAT taxes – July 31, 2013	$	173,705

NOTE 7 – OFFICE AND MINING EQUIPMENT

During the nine months ended July 31, 2012, the Company decided not to pursue further work on the Fortaleza and Ampl. A. Fortaleza concessions. As a result, the Company has written off the capitalized property concession balance related to these concessions of $68,284.

During the nine months ended July 31, 2012, the Company and AngloGold Ashanti Limited (“AngloGold”) decided not to pursue further work on the Mevang and Ogooue concessions. As a result, the Company has written off the capitalized property concession balance related to these concessions of $286,710 for Mevang and $570,671 for Ogooue.

NOTE 9 – GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess, at the date of acquisition, of the purchase price of the business acquired over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. As at April 30, 2013, the Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on this assessment management determined it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

The following is a summary of the Company’s goodwill balance as at July 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively:


Goodwill – November 1, 2011	$	18,495,031
Goodwill – October 31, 2012	$	18,495,031
Goodwill – July 31, 2013	$	18,495,031

NOTE 10 – PAYABLE TO ANGLOGOLD

Pursuant to the terms of two joint venture agreements between the Company and AngloGold which were terminated effective August 16, 2012, exploration costs were funded 100% by AngloGold through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Dome Gabon SARL. As at October 31, 2012, the Company had $477,481 (Central African Francs (“$CFA”) 241,738,722) of VAT receivable outstanding related to expenditures incurred by AngloGold, which was included in the payable to AngloGold of $490,095 recorded at October 31, 2012. Based on the Company’s current legal interpretation of the joint venture agreements, the Company has concluded that AngloGold has no right to the VAT receivable and related cash collected, because AngloGold abandoned all of its rights and benefits under the joint venture agreements upon AngloGold’s termination of such agreements. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a payable to AngloGold at July 31, 2013.

NOTE 11 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company had an arrangement with Rand Edgar Investment Corp., a company owned by Brian Edgar, the Company's Chairman, whereby the Company paid approximately $10,000 per month for general corporate development, rent and administrative services for an office in Vancouver, British Columbia. This arrangement ended on March 31, 2012. During the three months ended July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, the Company paid $nil and $nil respectively, and during the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, the Company paid $nil and $54,000 respectively, to Rand Edgar Investment Corp. for general corporate development, rent and administrative services, which is included in the office and administrative line of the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

NOTE 12 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

On June 11, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted a Shareholders’ Right Plan through the adoption of a Rights Agreement, which became effective immediately. In connection with the adoption of the Rights Agreement, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 22, 2007. In accordance with the Rights Plan, one Right is attached to each share of Company common stock issued since that date. Each Right is attached to the underlying common stock and will remain with the common stock if the stock is sold or transferred. As of July 31, 2013, there are 159,072,657 shares outstanding with Rights attached.

In certain circumstances, in the event that any person acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, each holder of a Right, other than the acquirer, would be entitled to receive, upon payment of the purchase price, which is initially set at $20 per Right, a number of shares of the Company’s common stock having a value equal to two times such purchase price. The Rights will expire on June 11, 2017.

NOTE 13 - COMMON STOCK

On February 14, 2013, the Company closed a public offering (the “Offering”) for the sale of 22,912,500 units at a price of $0.40 per unit for gross proceeds of $9,165,000. Each unit was comprised of one share of common stock of the Company and one-half of one common stock purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one share of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.55, for a period of 18 months from the closing of the Offering. The Company paid the agents on the Offering a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds, except for $2.5 million in units sold to purchasers arranged by the Company for which the agents received a 3.0% cash commission. In addition, the agents received 1,187,250 compensation warrants with the same terms as the other warrants issued in the Offering. The total cash commission paid to the agents was $474,900, the fair value of the agents’ compensation warrants was determined to be $51,672, and the Company incurred other offering costs of $595,375 (Note 15).

NOTE 14 - STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has two active stock option plans. Under the 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”) the Company may grant non-statutory and incentive options to employees, directors and consultants for up to a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock. Under the 2010 Stock Option and Stock Bonus Plan (the “2010 Plan”), the lesser of (i) 30,000,000 shares or (ii) 10% of the total shares outstanding are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options or the grant of stock bonuses.

Options are typically granted with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, have a graded vesting schedule over approximately 1 to 2 years and have a contractual term of 5 to 10 years.

A summary of the range of assumptions used to value stock options granted for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

	Nine months Ended July 31,
Options	2013	2012

During the nine months ended July 31, 2013, the Company granted options to acquire 2,515,000 shares of common stock with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $0.15. No options were exercised during the nine months ended July 31, 2013.

During the nine months ended July 31, 2012, the Company granted options to acquire 2,810,000 shares of common stock with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $0.30. No options were exercised during the nine months ended July 31, 2012.

The following is a summary of stock option activity for the nine months ended July 31, 2013:

The Company recognized stock-based compensation costs for stock options of $479,253 and $671,665 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company typically does not recognize any tax benefits for stock options due to the Company’s recurring losses. The Company currently expects all outstanding options to vest. Compensation cost is revised if subsequent information indicates that the actual number of options vested is likely to differ from previous estimates.

Summarized information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at July 31, 2013 is as follows:

Options Outstanding								Options Exercisable
Exercise Price		Number Outstanding		Weighted Ave. Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number Exercisable		Weighted Average Exercise Price

NOTE 16 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Measurements

All financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded at fair value on initial recognition. Transaction costs are expensed when they are incurred, unless they are directly attributable to the acquisition of qualifying assets, in which case they are added to the costs of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

Level 3

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Under fair value accounting, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of July 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities required to be reported for fair value purposes.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities and expenses approximate fair value at July 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012 due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the Company by failing to discharge its obligations. To mitigate exposure to credit risk on financial assets the Company has established policies to ensure liquidity of funds and ensure counterparties demonstrate minimum acceptable credit worthiness.

The Company maintains its U.S. Dollar and Canadian Dollar (“$CDN”) cash and cash equivalents in bank and demand deposit accounts with major financial institutions with high credit standings. Cash deposits held in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) for up to $250,000 and $CDN cash deposits held in Canada are insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) for up to $CDN 100,000. Certain United States and Canadian bank accounts held by the Company exceed these federally insured limits or are uninsured as they related to U.S. Dollar deposits held in Canadian financial institutions. As of July 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances held in United States and Canadian financial institutions included $5,225,450 and $2,868,917, respectively, which was not insured by the FDIC or CDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts and management believes that using major financial institutions with high credit ratings mitigates the credit risk in cash.

The Company also maintains cash in bank accounts in Mexico and Gabon. These accounts are denominated in the local currency and are considered uninsured. As of July 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, the US dollar equivalent balance for these accounts was $541,000 and $100,000, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company holds substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents in bank and demand deposit accounts with major financial institutions. The interest rates received on these balances may fluctuate with changes in economic conditions. Based on the average cash and cash equivalent and restricted cash balances during the nine months ended July 31, 2013, a 1% decrease in interest rates would have resulted in a reduction in interest income for the period of approximately $3,551.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Certain purchases of labor, operating supplies and capital assets are denominated in $CDN, Mexican Peso (“$MXN”), CFA or other currencies. As a result, currency exchange fluctuations may impact the costs of our operations. Specifically, the appreciation of the $MXN, $CDN or $CFA against the U.S. dollar may result in an increase in operating expenses and capital costs in U.S. dollar terms. As of July 31, 2013, the Company maintained the majority of its cash balance in U.S. Dollars. The Company currently does not engage in any currency hedging activities.

NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Compliance with Environmental Regulations

The Company’s activities are subject to laws and regulations controlling not only the exploration and mining of mineral properties, but also the effect of such activities on the environment. Compliance with such laws and regulations may necessitate additional capital outlays; affect the economics of a project, and cause changes or delays in the Company’s activities.

Employment Agreements

On February 26, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Brian Edgar, its Chairman.

The amended and restated employment agreement provides that Mr. Barry is entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment equal to 12 months of his base salary ($CDN 18,000 per month) if Mr. Barry is terminated without cause. However, upon a change of control (which is defined in the amended and restated employment agreement), Mr. Barry is entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment equal to 24 months of his base salary plus the previous year bonus, if Mr. Barry or the Company terminates his employment within three months of such change in control.

On February 26, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Sean Fallis, its Chief Financial Officer that provides for an annual base salary effective March 1, 2013 of $CDN 180,000. The amended and restated employment agreement provides that Mr. Fallis is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to six months of his base salary if Mr. Fallis is terminated without cause after February 7, 2014 and four months of his base salary if terminated prior to such date. However, upon a change of control (which is defined in the amended and restated employment agreement), Mr. Fallis is entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment equal to 24 months of his base salary plus the previous year bonus, if Mr. Fallis or the Company terminates his employment within three months of such change in control.

Property Concessions Mexico

To properly maintain property concessions in Mexico, the Company is required to pay a semi-annual fee to the Mexican government and complete annual assessment work.

In addition, seven of the concessions in the Sierra Mojada project are subject to options to purchase from existing third party concession owners.

Property Concessions Gabon

The Company holds title to the Ndjole and Mitzic concessions in Gabon, Africa that require the Company to spend minimum amounts each term to renew the concessions. Each concession is renewable twice with each renewal lasting for three years. The initial renewal of the Ndjole concession was granted on June 21, 2012 and the initial renewal of the Mitzic concession was granted on July 24, 2012. Per the renewed concession licenses the Company must spend $CFA 2,926,000,000 on exploration work on the Ndjole concession and $CFA 901,000,000 on exploration work on the Mitzic concession in order to renew these concessions for a third term of three years. The Company plans to request the concession licenses be amended to reflect the required exploration expenditures of $CFA 400,000,000 per concession to renew the concessions for a third term of three years per Gabonese law. The Company must spend $CFA 800,000,000 in the third term per Gabonese law. The Company may apply for a mining license at any time during these periods. As of July 31, 2013, one U.S. dollar approximates $CFA 494.

The Company has significant assets in Coahuila, Mexico and Gabon, Africa. Although these countries are generally considered economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations. Neither the Mexican government nor the Gabonese government requires foreign entities to maintain cash reserves in their respective country.

Cautionary Note Regarding Exploration Stage Companies

We are an exploration stage company and do not currently have any known reserves and cannot be expected to have reserves unless and until a feasibility study is completed for the Sierra Mojada concessions that shows proven and probable reserves. There can be no assurance that our concessions contain proven and probable reserves and investors may lose their entire investment. See “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.

Business Overview

Silver Bull, incorporated in Nevada, is an exploration stage company, engaged in the business of mineral exploration. Our primary objective is to define sufficient mineral reserves on the Sierra Mojada Property to justify the development of a mechanized mining operation. We conduct our operations in Mexico through our wholly-owned Mexican subsidiaries, Minera Metalin S.A. de C.V. (“Minera”) and Contratistas de Sierra Mojada S.A. de C.V., and through Minera’s wholly-owned subsidiary Minas de Coahuila SBR S.A. de C.V. However, as noted above, we have not established any reserves at the Sierra Mojada Property, and are in the exploration stage and may never enter the development or production stage.

On April 16, 2010, we completed a merger transaction with Dome Ventures Corporation (“Dome”), whereby Dome became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Dome, through its subsidiaries holds two exploration licenses in Gabon, West Africa covering approximately 4,000 square kilometers. We believe that the Ndjole license has gold and manganese potential and the Mitzic license has iron ore potential. We are currently looking for a joint venture partner on the Ndjole and Mitzic licenses. Operations in Gabon are conducted by Dome’s subsidiaries Dome Ventures SARL Gabon, African Resources SARL Gabon and Gabon Resources SARL.

Our principal offices are located at 925 West Georgia Street, Suite 1908, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6C 3L2, and our telephone number is 604-687-5800.

Current Developments

February 2013 Offering

In February 2013, we raised net proceeds of approximately $8,095,000 in a public offering of units consisting of one share of common stock and one-half of a common stock purchase warrant. We intend to use the proceeds of the offering to continue to advance the Sierra Mojada project.

Sierra Mojada Property

Our board of directors approved a calendar year 2013 budget of $4.6 million for exploration and property holding costs and $1.9 million for acquisition of property concessions for the Sierra Mojada Property. Due to volatile market conditions, our board approved an updated budget for the Sierra Mojada Property in September 2013. Our updated exploration budget for the Sierra Mojada Property for the period from September 2013 to December 2013 is $0.5 million for exploration and property holding costs and $0.2 million for acquisition of property concessions compared to $1.0 million for exploration and property holding costs and $0.4 million for acquisition of property concessions in the original budget. The focus of the updated 2013 calendar year exploration program is continued metallurgical work and the completion of a NI 43-101 preliminary economic assessment based on the updated resource estimate.

Mineralized Material Estimate

On April 30, 2013, JDS Energy & Mining Inc. (“JDS”) delivered a technical report (the “Technical Report”) on the mineralization at the Sierra Mojada Project in accordance with NI 43-101. The Technical Report includes the silver and zinc mineralization in the area that has been referred to as the “Shallow Silver Zone” and the “Zinc Zones”. The resource was estimated from 1,372 diamond drill holes, 25 reverse circulation drill holes, 9,025 channel samples and 2,345 long holes. At a cutoff grade of 25 grams/tonne of silver for mineralized material, the Technical Report indicates mineralized material of 72.9 million tonnes at an average silver grade of 69.5 grams/tonne silver and an average zinc percentage of 1.50%. Mineralized material estimates do not include any amounts categorized as inferred resources.

“Mineralized material” as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, although permissible under the SEC’s Industry Guide 7, does not indicate “reserves” by SEC standards. We cannot be certain that any part of the Sierra Mojada Project will ever be confirmed or converted into SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant “reserves.” Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the mineralized material will ever be confirmed or converted into reserves or that mineralized material can be economically or legally extracted.

Drilling

A 4,000 meter drill program had been planned targeting what is believed to be an extension to the “high grade silver mineralization”. Approximately 400 meters of underground drilling under this program has been conducted, but due to volatile market conditions, the remaining drill program has been placed on hold.

Metallurgical Studies

We have an active metallurgical program to test the silver mineralization for heap and agitation cyanide leach methods and the zinc mineralization for pyro-metallurgy and flotation methods. We are also investigating how any low grade zinc (<1%) which reports with the silver mineralization can be recovered.

We received results for metallurgical testing on samples taken from a portion of the Shallow Silver Zone and the Zinc Zone. The test work included in these results in the Shallow Silver Zone focused on cyanide leach recovery of the silver using “Bottle Roll” tests to simulate an agitation leach system and to determine the recovery of low grade zinc in the Shallow Silver Zone to the leach solution. In the Zinc Zone this work focused on roasting the ore in a rotary kiln to fume off the zinc and collect it as a zinc oxide concentrate. In addition we reported on the sulfidization, acidification, recycling, and thickening process test work which is a metallurgical process that regenerates and recycles the cyanide used in the leaching process of the silver and allows for the recovery of a portion of the low grade zinc that occurs in the Shallow Silver Zone. The preliminary results showed an overall average silver recovery of 73.2% with peak values of 89.0% and an overall average zinc recovery of 44% in the Shallow Silver Zone. Also, we are performing significant testing of the flotation method on samples from the Zinc Zone and expect additional results in September 2013.

Preliminary Economic Assessment

JDS has been retained to complete Silver Bull’s maiden Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) on the silver and zinc mineralization at the Sierra Mojada Property. The PEA is expected to be completed in September 2013.

Geological Mapping

A regional mapping and prospecting exploration program focused on the Palamos Negros and Dormidos prospects is underway. The aim of this program is to identify drill targets in these prospects outside of the Shallow Silver Zone. Subject to positive results from this program, an additional 2,000 meters of surface drilling had been planned for calendar year 2013 to test targets identified in these area. Due to volatile market conditions, this potential drill program has been placed on hold.

Gabon Property

The majority of our work in Gabon was previously conducted by AngloGold Ashanti Limited (“AngloGold”) under the terms of certain joint venture agreements. Effective August 16, 2012, AngloGold terminated those agreements. We continue to believe that the Ndjole license has gold and manganese potential and the Mitzic license has iron ore potential. We are currently looking for a joint venture partner on the Ndjole and Mitzic licenses.

To date, three main coherent gold anomalies above 50 parts per billion (“ppb”) and over 5km in length and up to 1.5km wide and several smaller anomalous zones up to 2km in length and up to 1km wide have been identified. Background gold values in the region are less than 5 ppb and results above 20 ppb are considered anomalous. Over 25% of the results received to date are above 30 ppb with peak values in excess of 5,000 ppb in the soils. The anomalies appear to have strong structural controls concentrating along mapped or inferred lithological contacts, structural breaks, and fold hinges. There is also a strong spatial relationship of the gold anomalies to a thick graphitic lithological unit in the area that is thought to represent an ideal lithological trap for mineralizing fluids. Initial prospecting in these anomalous zones has identified a number of gold-bearing quartz veins, many of which run between 2 g/t to 5 g/t gold.

Exploratory drilling has focused on these gold anomalies. East-west trending drill fences have been positioned to test roughly north-south trending lithological contacts which are considered as the most favorable sites for gold deposition. A total of 5,300 meters has been drilled with gold intercepts between 1 meter to 13 meters in thickness encountered. The best intercept averaged 7.24 g/t gold over 9 meters. Most intercepts were in the 1 meter to 3 meters range at 1 to 4 g/t gold. In addition the drilling identified manganese with the best manganese intercept averaging 22% manganese over 34.5 meters from surface.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012

For the three months ended July 31, 2013, we experienced a net loss of $1,459,000, or approximately $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $2,716,000, or approximately $0.02 per share, during the comparable period last year. The $1,257,000 decrease in net loss was primarily due to a $746,000 decrease in exploration and property holding costs, and a $531,000 other income in the three months ended July 31, 2013 compared to other expense of $186,000 in the comparable period last year which was partially offset by a $211,000 increase in general and administrative expenses.

Exploration and Property Holding Costs

Exploration and property holding costs decreased $746,000 to $1,298,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2013, compared to $2,044,000 for the comparable period last year. This decrease was due to reduced drilling expenses on the Sierra Mojada Property as during the three months ended July 31, 2012 we used three external drill rigs for a portion of this period. Also, during the three months ended July 31, 2012 we recorded a $571,000 concession impairment as we decided not to pursue the Ogooue concession.

General and Administrative Costs

We recorded a general and administrative expense of $673,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2013 as compared to $462,000 for the comparable period last year. The $211,000 increase was mainly the result of an $18,000 increase in professional fees and a $33,000 increase in directors fees. Also, we recorded a provision of $39,000 for uncollectible value-added taxes for the three months ended July 31, 2013 compared to a recovery of $120,000 of uncollectible value-added taxes for the comparable period last year.

Stock-based compensation was a factor in the fluctuations in general and administrative expenses. Overall stock based compensation included in general and administrative expense increased to $175,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2013 from $121,000 for the comparable period last year. The increase was mainly due to a result of stock options granted to employees and directors in June 2013.

Personnel cost of $237,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2013 was similar to $233,000 for the comparable period last year.

Office and administrative costs of $185,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2013 was similar to $187,000 for the comparable period last year.

Professional fees increased $18,000 to $88,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2013 compared to $70,000 for the comparable period last year. This increase is mainly due to an increase in legal and accounting fees in the three months ended July 31, 2013.

Directors’ fees increased $33,000 to $123,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2013 as compared to $90,000 for the comparable period last year. The increase was primarily due to a $34,000 increase in stock-based compensation expense which is significantly a result of stock options granted to directors in June 2013.

We recorded a provision of $39,000 for uncollectible value-added taxes (“VAT”) for the three months ended July 31, 2013 compared to a recovery of $120,000 in the comparable period last year. The recovery for uncollectible taxes in the three months ended July 31, 2012 was mainly due to changes in the estimate of the allowance for uncollectible value added taxes as we continued to be successful in collecting value added taxes following a significant period where no collections were made. The allowance for uncollectible taxes was estimated by management based upon a number of factors including the length of time the returns have been outstanding, responses received from tax authorities, general economic conditions in Mexico and Gabon and estimated net recovery after commissions.

Other Income (Expenses)

We recorded other income of $531,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2013 as compared to other expense of $186,000 for the comparable period last year. The significant factor was a $15,000 foreign currency transaction gain in the three months ended July 31, 2013, compared to a foreign currency transaction loss of $268,000 for the comparable period last year and a $515,000 miscellaneous income in the three months ended July 31, 2013 compared to a $10,000 miscellaneous income for the comparable period last year. This was partially offset by a decrease in interest and investment income to $2,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2013 as compared to $73,000 for the comparable period last year. The decrease in interest and investment income is due to significant value added tax collections of historical returns and associated interest occurring in the three months ended July 31, 2012.

The miscellaneous income in the three months ended July 31, 2013 was primarily the result of our determination that AngloGold abandoned all of its rights and benefits under the two joint venture agreements upon AngloGold’s termination of these agreements, and therefore the VAT receivable outstanding at the termination of the agreements and subsequent cash collected is the sole property of the Company.

The foreign currency transaction gain in the three months ended July 31, 2013 was primarily the result of the appreciation of the Central African Franc and the resulting impact on the intercompany loans between Silver Bull and our Gabonese subsidiaries. The foreign currency transaction loss in the comparable period last year was primarily the result of the depreciation of the Central African Franc and the resulting impact on the intercompany loans between Silver Bull and our Gabonese subsidiaries.

Nine Months Ended July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012

For the nine months ended July 31, 2013, we experienced a net loss of $5,774,000, or approximately $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $9,705,000, or approximately $0.07 per share, during the comparable period last year. The $3,931,000 decrease in the net loss was primarily due to a $4,144,000 decrease in exploration and property holding costs, which was partially offset by a $891,000 increase in general and administrative expenses as described below.

Exploration and Property Holding Costs

Exploration and property holding costs decreased $4,144,000 to $4,176,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 compared to $8,320,000 for the comparable period last year. This decrease was primarily due to a significantly reduced drilling program on the Sierra Mojada Property. During the nine months ended July 31, 2013, we had a small drilling program for part of the period using our underground drill rigs; whereas, up to three external drill rigs were used in the comparable period last year. Also, we recorded a $714,000 concession impairment in the nine months ended July 31, 2013 compared to $926,000 concession impairment in the comparable period last year.

General and Administrative Costs

General and administrative expenses increased $891,000 to $2,124,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 as compared to $1,233,000 for the comparable period last year. This increase was mainly the result of a $38,000 provision for uncollectible value added taxes in the nine months ended July 31, 2013 compared to a $929,000 recovery of uncollectible value-added taxes in the comparable period last year and a $174,000 increase in office and administrative cost which was partially offset by a $122,000 decrease in directors’ fees and a $85,000 decrease in professional services for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 compared to the comparable period last year.

Stock based compensation was a significant factor for the fluctuations in personnel and directors fees. Overall stock based compensation included in general and administrative expense decreased to $369,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 from $547,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2012. This was mainly due to stock options vesting in the nine months ended July 31, 2013 having a lower fair value than stock options vesting in the comparable period last year.

Personnel costs decreased $44,000 to $662,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 as compared to $706,000 for the same period last year. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in stock based compensation expense to $222,000 in the nine months ended July, 31, 2013 from $284,000 in the comparable period last year.

Office and administrative expenses increased $174,000 to $813,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 as compared to $639,000 for the comparable period last year. This increase is mainly due to increased investor relations activities and corporate travel related to the February 2013 offering described in the “Material Changes in Financial Condition; Liquidity and Capital Resources” section.

Professional services decreased $85,000 to $321,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 as compared to $406,000 for the comparable period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in legal fees in the nine months ended July 31, 2013 from the comparable period last year.

Directors’ fees decreased $122,000 to $286,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 as compared to $408,000 for the comparable period last year. This decrease was primarily due to a $116,000 decrease in stock based compensation as a result of stock options vesting in the nine months ended July 31, 2013 having a lower fair value than stock option vesting in the comparable period last year.

We recorded a provision of $38,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 for uncollectible value-added taxes compared to a recovery of $929,000 in the comparable period last year. The recovery for uncollectible taxes in the nine months ended July 31, 2012 was mainly due to value added tax collected in Mexico during this period inclusive of interest of $2,722,000 after a significant period where no collections were made. The allowance for uncollectible taxes was estimated by management based upon a number of factors including the length of time the returns have been outstanding, responses from tax authorities received, general economic conditions in Mexico and Gabon and estimated net recovery after commissions.

Other Income (Expenses)

We recorded other income of $586,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 as compared to other expenses of $51,000 for the comparable period last year. The significant factor was a $58,000 foreign currency transaction gain in the nine months ended July 31, 2013, compared to a foreign currency transaction loss of $434,000 for the comparable period last year and a $519,000 miscellaneous income in the nine months ended July 31, 2013 as compared to a $243,000 miscellaneous income for the comparable period last year. This was partially offset by a decrease in interest and investment income to $8,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 as compared to a $139,000 for the comparable period last year. The decrease in interest and investment income is due to significant value added tax collections of historical returns and associated interest occurring in the nine months ended July 31, 2012.

The miscellaneous income in the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was primarily the result of our determination that AngloGold abandoned all of its rights and benefits under the two joint venture agreements upon AngloGold’s termination of these agreements, and therefore the VAT receivable outstanding at the termination of the agreements and subsequent cash collected is the sole property of the Company. The miscellaneous income in the nine months ended July 31, 2012 was primarily the result of us receiving supporting documents that allowed us to reduce our liability for certain withholding taxes.

The foreign currency transaction gain in the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was primarily the result of the appreciation of the Central African Franc and the resulting impact on the intercompany loans between Silver Bull and our Gabonese subsidiaries. The foreign currency transaction loss in the comparable period last year was primarily the result of the depreciation of the Central African Franc and the resulting impact on the intercompany loans between Silver Bull and our Gabonese subsidiaries.

Material Changes in Financial Condition; Liquidity and Capital Resources

February 2013 Offering

On February 14, 2013, we closed a public offering (“the Offering”) for the sale of 22,912,500 units at a price of $0.40 per unit for gross proceeds of $9,165,000. Each unit was comprised of one share of common stock and one-half of one common stock purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one share of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.55, for a period of 18 months from the closing of the Offering. We paid the agents on the Offering a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds, except for $2.5 million in units sold to purchasers arranged by us for which the agents received a 3.0% cash commission.

In addition, the agents received compensation warrants equal in number to 6.0% of the aggregate number of units issued under the Offering except for $2.5 million in units sold to purchasers arranged by us for which the agents received compensation warrants equal in number to 3.0% of the units sold to such purchasers. The compensation warrants have the same terms as the other warrants issued in the Offering.

Cash Flows

During the nine months ended July 31, 2013, we primarily utilized cash and cash equivalents to fund exploration activities at the Sierra Mojada Property and for general and administrative expenses. Additionally, during the nine months ended July 31, 2013, we received net proceeds after offering costs of $8,095,000 as we closed the Offering. As a result of the Offering, offset by the exploration activities and general and administrative expenses, cash and cash equivalents increased from $3,201,000 at October 31, 2012 to $6,160,000 at July 31, 2013.

Cash flows used in operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was $4,561,000 as compared to $8,417,000 for the comparable period in 2012. This decrease was mainly due to the decreased exploration work at the Sierra Mojada Property in the nine months ended July 31, 2013 compared to the comparable period last year.

Cash flows used in investing activity for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was $608,000 as compared to $1,307,000 for the comparable period in 2012. The decrease was mainly due to the decision to not pursue further work on La Perla, La India, and La India Dos concessions as described below and an agreement to defer another concessions option payment.

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was $8,127,000 as compared to $10,343,000 for the comparable period last year. The majority of the cash flow provided by financing activities was due to the Offering.

Capital Resources

As of July 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6,160,000 and working capital of $5,494,000 as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $3,201,000 and working capital of $2,925,000 as of October 31, 2012. The increase in our liquidity and working capital were primarily the result of the Offering in February 2013 which was partially offset by cash and cash equivalents used by exploration activities at the Sierra Mojada Property and general and administrative expense.

Since inception, we have relied primarily upon proceeds from private placements and registered offerings of our equity securities and warrant exercises as our primary sources of financing to fund our operations. We anticipate that we will continue to rely on sales of our securities in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete any additional sales of our equity securities or that we will be able to arrange for other financing to fund our planned business activities. If we are unable to fund future operations by way of financing, including public or private offerings of equity or debt securities, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely impacted.

Capital Requirements and Liquidity; Need for Subsequent Funding

Our management and board of directors monitor our overall costs, expenses, and financial resources and, if necessary, will adjust our planned operational expenditures in an attempt to ensure we have sufficient operating capital. We continue to evaluate our costs and planned expenditures including for our Sierra Mojada Property as discussed below.

The continued exploration of the Sierra Mojada Property will require significant amounts of additional capital.

Our board of directors approved a calendar year 2013 budget of $4.6 million for exploration and property holding costs and $1.9 million for acquisition of property concessions for the Sierra Mojada Property and a $2 million budget for general and administration expense. Due to volatile market conditions, our board approved an updated budget for the Sierra Mojada Property in September 2013. Our updated exploration budget for the Sierra Mojada Property for the period from September 2013 to December 2013 is $0.5 million for exploration and property holding costs and $0.2 million for acquisition of property concessions compared to $1.0 million for exploration and property holding costs and $0.4 million for acquisition of property concessions in the original budget. We expect to fund remaining 2013 operations with cash on hand. As of August 31, 2013, we had approximately $6.0 million of cash on hand. The continued exploration of the Sierra Mojada Property ultimately will require us to raise additional capital, identify other sources of funding or identify another strategic transaction. The on-going uncertainty and volatility in the global financial and capital markets have limited the availability of funding. Debt or equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. Equity financing, if available, may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders. If we are unable to fund future operations by way of financing, including public or private offerings of equity or debt securities, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely impacted.

Contractual Obligations

During the nine months ended July 31, 2013, we decided not to pursue further work on the Maravillas, Ampl. Sierra Mojada and Sierra Mojada concessions. As a result we will not make further concession option payments for these concessions. This will reduce our Sierra Mojada concession option purchase payments by Mexican Peso (“$MXN”) 11,000,000 between April 2013 and April 2015.

In addition, during the nine months ended July 31, 2013, we decided not to pursue further work on the La Perla, La India and La India Dos concessions. As a result we will not make further concession option payments for these concessions. This will reduce our Sierra Mojada concession option purchase payments and concession option purchase price by $5,900,000 between April 2013 and April 2014.

Further, during the nine months ended July 31, 2013, we amended the Poder de Dios, Anexas a Poder de Dios and Ampliacion a Poder de Dios concession option purchase agreement (“the Poder de Dios Agreement”) and the Olympia concession option purchase agreement (“the Olympia Agreement”).

Under the previous terms of the Poder de dios Agreement, we were required to pay an option fee of $300,000 in each of April 2013 and October 2013. As a result of amending the Poder de Dios Agreement, we paid $180,000 in April 2013 and deferred the remaining $120,000 of the April 2013 payment and we also deferred the full amount of the $300,000 October 2013 payment. The deferred payments are due in April 2014 or, if earlier, the consummation of a change in control of Silver Bull. As a result of this amendment, the $420,000 deferred amount has been included in accrued liabilities and property concessions as at July 31, 2013.

Under the previous terms of the Olympia Agreement, we were required to pay $MXN 470,000 in February 2013 and $MXN 1,000,000 in August 2013. We made the February payment, but as a result of amending the Olympia Agreement, we paid $MXN500,000 of the August 2013 payment in May 2013. The remaining $MXN500,000 concession option payment is deferred until the earlier of March 2014 or, if earlier, the consummation of a change in control of Silver Bull.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

The critical accounting policies are defined in our Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 31, 2012 filed on February 4, 2013 except as follows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2013

Effective November 1, 2012, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This update amended explanations of how to measure fair value to result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The adoption of this standard had no material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Effective November 1, 2012, we adopted ASU 2011-05 , “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” to provide an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We chose to use the single continuous statement approach and the update had no effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Effective November 1, 2012 we adopted ASU 2011-08 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. This new guidance on testing goodwill provides an entity the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines that this is the case, it is required to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit (if any). If an entity determines that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The adoption of this guidance had no material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the SEC did not or are not believed to have a material impact on our present or future consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Interest Rate Risk

We hold substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents in bank and demand deposit accounts with major financial institutions. The interest rates received on these balances may fluctuate with changes in economic conditions. Based on the average cash and cash equivalent and restricted cash balances during the nine months period ended July 31, 2013, a 1% decrease in interest rates would have resulted in a reduction in interest income for the period of approximately $3,551.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Certain purchases of labor, operating supplies and capital assets are denominated in Canadian Dollars (“$CDN”), Mexican Pesos (“$MXN”), Central African Francs (“$CFA”) or other currencies. As a result, currency exchange fluctuations may impact the costs of our operations. Specifically, the appreciation of the $MXN, $CDN or $CFA against the U.S. dollar may result in an increase in operating expenses and capital costs in US dollar terms. As of July 31, 2013, we maintained the majority of our cash balance in U.S. dollars. We currently do not engage in any currency hedging activities.

Commodity Price Risk

Our primary business activity is the exploration of properties containing silver, zinc, lead, gold, copper, manganese and other minerals. As a result, decreases in the price of any of these metals have the potential to negatively impact our ability to establish reserves and continue our exploration plans. None of our properties are in production and we do not currently hold any commodity derivative positions.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of July 31, 2013, we have carried out an evaluation under the supervision of, and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on the evaluation as of July 31, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended July 31, 2013 there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION.

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.

There were no material changes from the risk factors included in our Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 31, 2012.
