QUALIFIED PERSON
The Preliminary Economic Assessment discussed herein was prepared under the
supervision of Jacques du Toit, Robert Davies, and Mike Mclaughlin from Tetra
Tech and Anton Von Wielligh of ABG Mining of Australia all of whom are
independent qualified persons as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Mark

technical information in this press release.
Cautionary Notes
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. Without limitation to the foregoing, the following are forward
looking statements: the PEA, including without limitation projected initial
capital, sustaining costs, IRR, NPV, average grade processed, mining rate,
expected mine life, expected construction period, mineral resources and pay back
period. 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 uncertainties inherent to preliminary economic assessments, which
are based on many assumptions that might not be realized, risks with respect to
operating in Russia, downward fluctuations in silver prices, regulatory risks,
including with respect to obtaining all required permits, corruption and other
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.
Cash costs per ounce of silver are non-GAAP measures. Cash costs per ounce of
silver presented do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and
may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. This
measure is presented to serve as a key indicator of a company's potential
ability to generate revenue and cash flow from its mining operations. This
measure should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of
performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and is not necessarily indicative
of operating costs that would presented under IFRS.
