ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY [Abstract]	'
ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY	'
	NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY
	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, 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. ("Dome International"), which are incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Dome International's subsidiaries include its wholly-owned subsidiaries incorporated in Gabon, Dome Ventures SARL Gabon ("Dome Gabon") and African Resources SARL Gabon ("African Resources"), as well as its 99.99%-owned subsidiary, Dome Minerals Nigeria Limited, incorporated in Nigeria. The Company conducts its exploration activities in Gabon, Africa through Dome Gabon and African Resources.
	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 its 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 exploration, development, and future profitable production activities. 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.
	Liquidity, Financial Commitments and Management's Plans
	Since its inception in November 1993, the Company has not generated revenue and has incurred a net loss of $95,338,155 from inception through January 31, 2014.  Accordingly, the Company has not generated cash flow from operations, and since inception the Company has relied primarily upon proceeds from private placements and registered direct offerings of the Company's equity securities and warrant exercises as the primary sources of financing to fund the Company's operations. As of January 31, 2014, the Company had working capital of $5,282,360 and cash and cash equivalents of $4,245,837. Management will continue to evaluate the Company's ability to raise additional capital, and if we determine that additional capital is unavailable or available on terms that the Company determines are unacceptable then the Company will reduce exploration expenditures on the Company's property concessions and reduce general and administrative expenditures.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION [Abstract]	'
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	'
	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 U.S. 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. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2013 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. 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 for the year ended October 31, 2013.
	The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed in Notes 3 and Note 4. 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 three months ended January 31, 2014 are not necessary indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2014.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	The significant accounting policies are defined in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2013 filed on January 13, 2014, except as follows.
	Reclassifications
	Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to conform to the current year presentation. The Company reclassified the Dome International consolidated balance sheet amounts and consolidated statements of operations from historical presentation to assets and liabilities of operations held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets and to loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The consolidated statements of cash flow have not been adjusted to reflect assets held for sale and discontinued operations for all periods presented.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Three Month Period Ended January 31, 2014
	Effective November 1, 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 201): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." This ASU added certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the disclosure for the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry Forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry Forward Exists." The updated guidance requires an entity to net its unrecognized tax benefits against the deferred tax assets for all same jurisdiction net operating loss carry forwards, a similar tax loss, or tax credit carry forwards. A gross presentation will be required only if such carry forwards are not available or would not be used by the entity to settle any additional income taxes resulting from disallowance of the uncertain tax provision. The update is effective prospectively for the Company's fiscal year beginning November 1, 2014. The Company does not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and 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.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS	'
	NOTE 4 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
	On December 13, 2013, the Company entered into a binding letter of agreement (the "Transaction") with a third party to sell all of the issued and outstanding securities of Dome International, a subsidiary of the Company which holds, indirectly, a 100% interest in and to the Ndjole manganese and gold license, for cash consideration of $1,500,000.
	The proposed Transaction is subject to a number of terms and conditions, including the parties' entering into a definitive agreement with respect to the Transaction, the completion of satisfactory due diligence investigations, the completion of a financing by the third party generating minimum proceeds of $CDN 4.0 million from the sale of its securities (on terms to be determined), the approval of the TSX-V and other applicable regulatory authorities. The Company was paid a $25,000 non-refundable deposit upon the signing of the binding letter of agreement. Prior to the closing of the Transaction, the Company will transfer all of the issued and outstanding securities of African Resources SARL Gabon, which holds the Mitzic license, from Dome International to another subsidiary of the Company. As at January 31, 2014, the Company classified Dome International and its wholly-owned subsidiary Dome Gabon as an asset held for sale as asset held for sale presentation criteria were met. Consequently, for all of the periods presented, loss from Dome International and Dome Gabon has been presented within discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
	The following table details selected financial information included in the income from discontinued operations for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 and the period from inception to date.

	NOTE 6 - VALUE-ADDED TAX RECEIVABLE
	Value-added tax ("VAT") receivable relates to VAT paid in Mexico and Gabon. The Company estimates net VAT of $315,872 will be received within twelve months of the balance sheet date. 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 three months ended January 31, 2014, a provision of uncollectible VAT of $8,262 has been recorded.
	A summary of the changes in the allowance for uncollectible VAT taxes for the three months ended January 31, 2014 is as follows:
	Allowance for uncollectible VAT taxes - October 31, 2013	$	127,557

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN	'
	NOTE 10 - 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 January 31, 2014, 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 12 - 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 three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

	No options were granted or exercised during the three months ended January 31, 2014.
	During the three months ended January 31, 2013, the Company granted options to acquire 300,000 shares of common stock with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $0.18. No options were exercised during the three months ended January 31, 2013.

	The Company recognized stock-based compensation costs for stock options of $64,011 and $177,408 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 that will vest is likely to differ from previous estimates.
	Summarized information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at January 31, 2014 is as follows:

FINANCIAL_INSTRUMENTS

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [Abstract]	'
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	'
	NOTE 14 - 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 January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, 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, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and expenses approximate fair value at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 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 relate to U.S. Dollar deposits held in Canadian financial institutions. As of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the Company's cash and cash equivalent balances held in United States and Canadian financial institutions included $3,862,646 and $4,844,049, 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 January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the U.S. dollar equivalent balance for these accounts was $21,811 and $87,889, 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 balances during the three months ended January 31, 2014, a 1% decrease in interest rates would have resulted in a reduction in interest income for the period of approximately $1,749.
	Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
	Certain purchases of labor, operating supplies and capital assets are denominated in $CDN, Mexican Peso ("$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 U.S. dollar terms. As of January 31, 2014, the Company maintained the majority of its cash balance in U.S. Dollars. The Company currently does not engage in any currency hedging activities.

	Property Concessions Gabon
	The Company holds title to the Ndjole (Note 4) 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 ($6,083,160) on exploration work on the Ndjole concession and $CFA 901,000,000 ($1,873,181) on exploration work on the Mitzic concession in order to renew these concessions for a third term of three years. The expenditures during the second period are reduced by $CFA 2,724,805,322 ($5,664,876) for Ndjole and $CFA 244,668,825 ($508,667) for Mitzic which represent amounts spent in the second period to January 31, 2014 and amounts carried forward from the initial term for expenditures incurred in excess of the renewal requirements. The Company must spend $CFA 800,000,000 ($1,663,202) in the third term per Gabonese law. The Company may apply for a mining license at any time during these periods. As of January 31, 2014, one U.S. dollar approximates $CFA 481.
	Royalty
	The Company has agreed to pay a 2% net smelter return royalty on certain property concessions within the Sierra Mojada Property. Total payments under this royalty are limited to $6.875 million.
	Office Lease Commitment

	Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to conform to the current year presentation. The Company reclassified the Dome International consolidated balance sheet amounts and consolidated statements of operations from historical presentation to assets and liabilities of operations held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets and to loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The consolidated statements of cash flow have not been adjusted to reflect assets held for sale and discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Three Month Period Ended January 31, 2014
	Effective November 1, 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 201): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." This ASU added certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the disclosure for the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry Forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry Forward Exists." The updated guidance requires an entity to net its unrecognized tax benefits against the deferred tax assets for all same jurisdiction net operating loss carry forwards, a similar tax loss, or tax credit carry forwards. A gross presentation will be required only if such carry forwards are not available or would not be used by the entity to settle any additional income taxes resulting from disallowance of the uncertain tax provision. The update is effective prospectively for the Company's fiscal year beginning November 1, 2014. The Company does not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and 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.
