Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 7, 2019) - Silver One Resources Inc. (TSXV: SVE) (OTC Pink: SLVRF) (FSE: BRK1) ("Silver One" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of a multi-target drill program at its Candelaria past-producing silver mine project in Nevada. Drills were mobilized onto the property on November 5, 2019. The program will comprise approximately 3,500 meters of core drilling,
Targets selected for drilling include:

The historical mineral resource estimate used "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource", which are categories set out in NI 43-101. Accordingly, Silver One considers these historical estimates reliable as well as relevant as it represents key targets for exploration work by Silver One. The data base for the historical resource estimate:
The qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. Silver One is not treating this historical estimate as current mineral resources.
The program is estimated to last until Q1 2020.
Some of the holes will use PQ sized core drilling (85 mm or 3.35 inches) in order to obtain large samples for metallurgical testing. All metallurgical work completed to date by Silver One has been on the historic heap leach pads. The current drilling will allow us to determine the grade and estimate potential recoveries from In-situ mineralization.
Greg Crowe, President and CEO, commented; "This drill program will potentially allow us to provide Silver One's first 43-101 resource estimate. Previous quoted resources have all been 'Historical' due to the age of the original 43-101 report (2001-02) completed by Silver Standard. Having a current 43-101 resource will greatly increase the confidence with respect to the quantity and quality of mineralization at Candelaria. The drilling will also test the continuity of higher-grade mineralization down-dip from the two historic pits. Additional information that will be gleaned from this program include potential continuity of the mineralization outside the open-pits and the larger core size will provide sufficient samples for metallurgical testing of the in-situ hard rock mineralization."

About Silver One
Silver One is focused on the exploration and development of quality silver projects. The Company holds an option to acquire a 100%-interest in its flagship project, the past-producing Candelaria Mine located in Nevada. Potential reprocessing of silver from the historic leach pads at Candelaria provides an opportunity for possible near-term production. Additional opportunities lie in previously identified high-grade silver intercepts down-dip and potentially increasing the substantive silver mineralization along-strike from the two past-producing open pits.
The Company has staked 636 lode claims and entered into a Lease/Purchase Agreement to acquire five patented claims on its Cherokee project located in Lincoln County, Nevada, host to multiple silver-copper-gold vein systems, traced to date for over 11 km along-strike.
In addition, the Company also holds a 100% interest in three significant silver assets located in Mexico - Peñasco Quemado, Sonora; La Frazada, Nayarit; and Pluton, Durango, acquired from First Mining Gold, one of the Company's largest shareholders.
