Silver Bear Resources Inc. ("Silver Bear" or the "Company") (TSX:SBR) is pleased
to announce further drill results from its 2012 drill program on its Mangazeisky
silver property located in Yakutia, Russia (the "Property"). As shown in Figure
1 set out below, the Property hosts more than 100 silver occurrences in a major
North-Northwest trending mineralized structure stretching along a 35 kilometre
corridor. Silver Bear has on its Mangazeisky property delineated a NI 43-101
compliant mineral resource estimate of 1.1 million tonnes containing 17.9
million ounces silver at 518 g/t Ag of Indicated mineralization and 1.7 million
tonnes containing 30.5 million ounces silver at 562 g/t Ag of Inferred
mineralization, as set out in its technical report (see Press Releases dated,
September 28, 2011 and August 8, 2012).


As part of the 2012 exploration program, two metallurgical test holes were
completed and drilled down dip in the Vertikalny resource area. Highlights of
the holes are shown in Table 1 set out below, demonstrating encouraging results.
These holes were primarily drilled to capture several tonnes of mineralization
for laboratory metallurgical testing and were located to drill down dip of the
ore body. There were a total of four metallurgical holes drilled with two having
stopped early due to drilling issues. Location of drill holes are shown on
Figure 2 below. 


Commenting on the results of the intersections, Mark Trevisiol, President and
CEO of the Company said, "this demonstrates the significant grades which
Management believes our Mangazeisky property is capable of delivering and is
additionally encouraging given that these results were obtained within 74 meters
of surface. We will re-examine our resource model to determine if this
intersection represents a change to our overall resource in Vertikalny." 


Early drilling results from another prospective area close to the Vertikalny
resource - Nizhny Endybal- also within the Company's Mangazeisky property were
earlier released (see August 8, 2012 Press Release). Further results are pending
and the company is investigating a potential Inferred resource on this prospect.

Geological Sampling Procedures 

A Quality Assurance/Quality Control program is part of the drilling program on
the Mangazeisky deposits. This program includes chain of custody protocols as
well as systematic submittals of standards, duplicates and blank samples into
the flow of samples produced by the drilling. Prior to 2011, analysis was
carried out at Russian certified laboratories in Yakutsk and Aldan. Analysis for
2012 was completed by ALS Chemex in Chita, Russia.


Mr. P. Gribble, FIMMM C.Eng, of Tetra Tech Wardrop (formerly Wardrop
Engineering), is the independent qualified person who prepared the mineral
resource estimates disclosed herein, and has reviewed the scientific and
technical information contained in this news release. 


Tetra Tech completed a NI 43-101 Technical Report supporting the mineral
resource estimate. Tetra Tech also completed the Preliminary Economic Assessment
("PEA") discussed in this news release (see September 28, 2011 news release).


Mark Trevisiol P.Eng, President and CEO of Silver Bear is the Company's
designated qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed
and approved the scientific and technical content of this press release.


Forward-Looking Information 

The PEA is preliminary in nature and is based on a number of assumptions that
may be changed in the future as additional information becomes available.
Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated
economic viability. The PEA includes inferred mineral resources that are
considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations
applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves,
and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.


This release and subsequent oral statements made by and on behalf of the Company
may contain forward-looking statements, which reflect management's expectations.
Wherever possible, words such as "intends", "expects", "scheduled", "estimates",
"anticipates", "believes" and similar expressions or statements that certain
actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken,
occur or be achieved, have been used to identify these forward-looking
statements. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this release
reflect management's current beliefs based upon information currently available
to management and based upon what management believes to be reasonable
assumptions, Silver Bear cannot be certain that actual results will be
consistent with these forward-looking statements. A number of factors could
cause events and achievements to differ materially from the results expressed or
implied in the forward-looking statements. Such risks factors include but are
not limited to risks factors identified by Silver Bear in its continuous
disclosure filings filed from time to time on SEDAR. These factors should be
considered carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance
on the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements necessarily
involve significant known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties that
may cause Silver Bear's actual results, events, prospects and opportunities to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Although Silver Bear has attempted to identify important risks and
factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially
from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors
and risks that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated,
estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements
will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, prospective
investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this release, and Silver
Bear assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or
circumstances, unless otherwise required by law. The head office of Silver Bear
