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 stage 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 has a wholly-owned subsidiary Dome Asia Inc. (“Dome Asia”), which is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Dome Asia has a wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in Gabon, African Resources SARL Gabon (“African Resources”), as well as a 99.99%-owned subsidiary, Dome Minerals Nigeria Limited, incorporated in Nigeria. In January 2015 the Company completed the sale of its subsidiary Dome International Global Inc. (“Dome International”) including Dome International's wholly-owned subsidiary Dome Ventures SARL Gabon (“Dome Gabon”) which held the Ndjole Prospect in Gabon (Note 3).
	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, and 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 Notes 4 and 6.
	Liquidity, Financial Commitments and Management's Plans
	Since its inception in November 1993, the Company has not generated revenue and has incurred a deficit of $99,301,107.  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 October 31, 2014, the Company had working capital of $2,947,144 including $1,281,518 of assets of discontinued operations held for sale and $8,894 of liabilities of discontinued operations held for sale, and cash and cash equivalents of $1,879,318. Management will continue to evaluate the Company's ability to raise additional capital, and if it determines 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
	Basis of Presentation
	The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and the Company's previously wholly owned subsidiaries Dome International and Dome Gabon, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company are listed in Note 1.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and assumptions are accounted for prospectively.
	Significant areas involving the use of estimates include determining the allowance for uncollectible taxes, evaluating recoverability of property concessions, evaluating impairment of long-lived assets, evaluating impairment of goodwill, establishing a valuation allowance on future use of deferred tax assets and calculating stock-based compensation.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue when the title and risks and rewards of ownership pass to the buyer, the selling price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and collection of the sale proceeds is considered probable. As of October 31, 2014, the Company has not recognized any revenues.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
	Property Concessions
	Property concessions acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred and will be amortized using the units of production method following the commencement of production. If a property concession is subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be expensed in the period of abandonment or impairment. To date, no property concession have reached the production stage.
	Acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the acquisition of property concessions.
	Exploration Costs
	Exploration costs incurred are expensed to the date of establishing that costs incurred are economically recoverable. Exploration expenditures incurred subsequent to the establishment of economic recoverability are capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the related property. To date, the Company has not established the economic recoverability of its exploration prospects; therefore, all exploration costs are being expensed.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Assets under construction are depreciated when they are substantially complete and available for their intended use, over their estimated useful lives. Repairs and maintenance of property and equipment are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred to enhance the service potential of property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the improved asset. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line, over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
	Mining equipment – 5 to 10 years
	Vehicles – 4 years
	Building and structures – 40 years
	Computer equipment and software – 3 years
	Well equipment – 10 to 40 years
	Office equipment – 3 to 10 years
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	Management reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events and changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts of its assets may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if the future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on the difference between book value and fair value of the asset group, as determined through the application of a present value technique using expected future cash flows to estimate fair value in the absence of a market price. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of cash flows from other asset groups.
	Goodwill
	Goodwill is the purchase premium after adjusting for the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis, or when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment, at the reporting unit level. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment tests at April 30th of each fiscal year.
	In performing the goodwill impairment tests the Company has the option to elect 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 the Company determines that this is the case or the Company does not chose to elect to perform a qualitative assessment, the Company 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 the Company determines based on the qualitative assessment that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required.
	Income Taxes
	The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the tax basis and accounting basis of the assets and liabilities measured using tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is at least “more likely than not” that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authorities. This accounting standard also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure.
	A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by this guidance to allow recognition of such an asset. Management recorded a full valuation allowance at October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 against the deferred tax assets as it deems future realization would not meet the criteria “more likely than not”.
	Stock-Based Compensation and Warrants
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model as a method for determining the estimated fair value for all stock options awarded to employees, officers, directors and consultants.  The expected term of the options is based upon evaluation of historical and expected future exercise behavior.  The risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life of the grant.  Volatility is determined upon historical volatility of the Company's stock and adjusted if future volatility is expected to vary from historical experience.  The dividend yield is assumed to be none as the Company has not paid dividends nor does the Company anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.  The Company uses the graded vesting attribution method to recognize compensation costs over the requisite service period.
	The Company also used the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair market value of warrants. Expected volatility is based upon weighted average of historical volatility over the contractual term of the warrant and implied volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based upon implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the contractual term of the warrants.  The dividend yield is assumed to be none as the Company has not paid dividends nor does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.
	Loss Per Share
	Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted loss per share. Although there were stock options and warrants in the aggregate of 11,422,144 shares and 21,848,977 shares outstanding at October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, they were not included in the calculation of loss per share because they would have been considered anti-dilutive.
	Foreign Currency Translation
	During the years ended October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the functional currency of Silver Bull Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar except for the Gabonese subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Central African Franc (“$CFA”).
	During the years ended October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 the Company's Mexican foreign operations monetary assets and liabilities were translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rate and non-monetary assets and liabilities were translated using the historical exchange rate. The Company's Mexican foreign operations revenue and expenses were translated at the average exchange rate during the period except for depreciation of office and mining equipment and impairment of property concessions which are translated using the historical exchange rate. Foreign currency translation gains and losses of the Company's foreign Mexican operations are included in the consolidated statement of operations.
	During the years ended October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 assets and liabilities of the Company's Gabonese operations were translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rate, and revenue and expenses were translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Exchange differences arising on translation were disclosed as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions were reflected in the results of operations.  Intercompany transactions and balances with the Company's Gabonese subsidiaries were considered to be planned or anticipated to settle in the foreseeable future. All foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans which were considered to be planned or anticipated to settle in the foreseeable future were included in the consolidated statement of operations.
	Accounting for Loss Contingencies and Legal Costs
	From time to time, the Company is named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. The Company records an accrual for the estimated loss from a loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of our financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.  Disclosure of a loss contingency is made by the Company if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred, and either an accrual has not been made or an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued. In cases where only disclosure of the loss contingency is required, either the estimated loss or a range of estimated loss is disclosed or it is stated that an estimate cannot be made. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are considered period costs and accordingly are expensed in the period services are provided.
	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 Year
	Effective in July, 2014, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-10: Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. The standard removes the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from GAAP. In addition, the standard eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. As a result, the Company eliminated inception to date information from the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014.
	Effective November 1, 2013, the Company adopted 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 August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The update provides guidance to an organization's management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The Company has not determined the effects of this update on the Company's financial position, result of operations or cash flows and disclosures at this time.
	In July 2013, the 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.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals of a component or group of components of an entity representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results are presented as discontinued operations. In addition, ASU 2014-08 requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide additional information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The update is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company has not determined the effects of this update on the Company's financial position, result of operations or cash flows and disclosures at this time.
	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 [Abstract]
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS	NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
	On December 13, 2013, the Company entered into a binding letter of agreement and on May 21, 2014, the Company executed a share purchase agreement (the “Transaction”) with BHK Mining Corp. (formerly BHK Resources, Inc.) (“BHK”) to sell all of the issued and outstanding securities of the Company's former subsidiary Dome International, which holds, indirectly, a 100% interest in and to the Ndjole concession, for cash consideration of $1,500,000 and reimbursement of the Company's expenses of $75,000. The Transaction was completed on January 23, 2015.
	As at October 31, 2014, the Company classified Dome International and its wholly-owned subsidiary Dome Gabon as an asset held for sale as assets held for sale 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. During the year ended October 31, 2014 the Company recorded an impairment of $187,981 for the Ndjole concession as its carrying amount was not recoverable based on the implied fair value due to expected net proceeds from the Transaction.
	The following table details selected financial information included in the loss from discontinued operations for the year ended October 31, 2014 and 2013.
		For the Year Ended
		October 31,
		2014		2013
	Exploration and property holding costs (recovery)	$	-28,368	$	334,502
	Depreciation and asset impairment		202,444		571,559
	(Recovery of) provision for uncollectible value added taxes		-58,220		30,573

	Miscellaneous income		—		-491,448
	Net loss	$	183,954	$	412,236
	The miscellaneous income in the year ended October 31, 2013 was the result of the Company's legal interpretation that AngloGold Ashanti Limited (“AngloGold”) abandoned all of its rights and benefits under two joint venture agreements upon their termination. As a result the Company has concluded that the VAT receivable outstanding at the termination of the agreements and subsequent cash collected related to this VAT receivable of $491,448 was determined to be the sole property of the Company.
	During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Company determined that the Ndjole license was impaired as its carrying amounts were not recoverable from its implied fair value based on the binding letter of agreement with BHK described above. This impairment resulted in the Company writing off a portion of the capitalized property concession balance of $556,935 related to the Ndjole license.
	The major classes of assets and liabilities of Dome International and Dome Gabon presented as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:
		October 31,		October 31,

	Value-added tax ("VAT") receivable relates to VAT paid in Mexico and Gabon. The Company estimates net VAT of $163,032 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 year ended October 31, 2014, a provision of uncollectible VAT of $19,170 has been recorded.

GOODWILL [Abstract]
GOODWILL	NOTE 7 – 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.  At October 31, 2014 the Company did not elect 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 and therefore performed the two-step goodwill impairment test. Based on this test the Company determined the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount and no impairment was necessary.
	The following is a summary of the Company's goodwill balance as at October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:
	Goodwill – October 31, 2012	$	18,495,031

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN	NOTE 8 – 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 share and will remain with the common share if the share is sold or transferred.  As of October 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.

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 (Note 11), and the Company incurred other offering costs of $595,375.

	At October 31, 2014 the Company has U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $31 million which expire in the years 2019 through 2034.  The Company has approximately $36 million of net operating loss carry-forwards in Mexico which expire in the years 2015 through 2024.
	The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $21.9 and $19.8 million at October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, relates principally to the uncertainty of the utilization of certain deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carry forwards in various tax jurisdictions. The Company continually assesses both positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets can be realized prior to their expiration. Based on the Company's assessment it has determined the deferred tax assets are not currently realizable.
	Mexico Tax Legislation
	On December 11, 2013, the Mexican tax reform package was published in the official gazette and is effective as from January 1, 2014. Amongst other changes the planned corporate tax reductions to 29% in 2014 and 28% thereafter have been repealed and the corporate tax rate will remain at 30%. A special mining duty of 7.5% will apply to net profits derived by a property concession holder from the sale or transfer of extraction related activities. Net profits for the purpose of this special mining duty will be determined in a manner similar to the calculation of general taxable income with certain deductions not available including for investment in fixed assets and interest.
	Net Operating Loss Carry-forward Limitation
	The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that limit the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards if there has been a change in ownership as described in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result of the Dome merger in April 2010, substantial changes in the Company's ownership have occurred that may limit or reduce the amount of net operating loss carry-forward that the Company could utilize in the future to offset taxable income.  We have not completed a detailed Section 382 study at this time to determine what impact, if any, that ownership changes may have had on our operating loss carry forwards. In each period since our inception, we have recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of our deferred tax assets, as the realization of the deferred tax asset is uncertain.  As a result, we have not recognized any federal or state income tax benefit in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
	Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has not identified any unrecognized tax benefits or had any additions or reductions in tax positions and therefore a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is not presented.
The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 2014 and accordingly the Company's effective tax rate will not be materially affected by unrecognized tax benefits.
The following tax years remain open to examination by the Company's principal tax jurisdictions:

Mexico:	2009 and all following years
Canada:	2010 and all following years
Gabon, Africa:	2011 and all following years
The Company has not identified any uncertain tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.
The Company's policy is to classify tax related interest and penalties as income tax expense.  There is no interest or penalties estimated on the underpayment of income taxes as a result of unrecognized tax benefits.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [Abstract]
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	NOTE 13 – 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 October 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, restricted cash, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and expenses approximate fair value at October  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 US 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 US Dollar deposits held in Canadian financial institutions. As of October 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company's cash and cash equivalent balances held in United States and Canadian financial institutions included $1,681,759 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 and cash equivalents.
	The Company also maintains cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in bank accounts in Mexico and Gabon.  These accounts are denominated in the local currency and are considered uninsured. As of October 31, 2014 and 2013, the US dollar equivalent balance for these accounts was $115,686 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 and restricted cash balances during the year ended October 31, 2014, a 1% decrease in interest rates would have resulted in a reduction in interest income for the period of approximately $3,584.
	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 US dollar may result in an increase in operating expenses and capital costs in US dollar terms. As of October 31, 2014, the Company maintained the majority of its cash balance in US Dollars. The Company currently does not engage in any currency hedging activities.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	Compliance with Environmental Regulations
	The Company's exploration 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 or affect the economics of a project, and cause changes or delays in the Company's activities.
	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 two of the concessions in the Sierra Mojada project are subject to options to purchase from existing third party concession owners. Pursuant to the option purchase agreements, the Company is required to make certain payments over the terms of these contracts to obtain full ownership of these concessions as set forth in the table below:
	Nuevo Dulces Nombres (Centenario) and Yolanda III (2 concessions)
	Payment Date		Payment Amount(1) (2)
	May-15		$30,000
	Monthly payment beginning August		$20,000 per month
	2016 and ending  July 2018
	-1	Until July 2018, the Company has the option of acquiring Nuevo Dulces Nombres (100% interest) for $4 million and Yolanda III (100% interest) for $2 million plus a lump sum payment equal to any remaining monthly payments
	-2	If a change of control occurs prior to May 30, 2016 the Company is required to make a payment of $200,000 within 20 days of the change of control.
	Property Concessions Gabon
	The Company holds title to the Mitzic concession (Note 6) in Gabon, Africa that requires the Company to spend minimum amounts each term to renew the concession. The concession is renewable twice with each renewal lasting for three years. The initial renewal of the Mitzic concession was granted on July 24, 2012. Per the renewed concession license, the Company must spend $CFA 901,000,000 ($1,736,031) on exploration work on the Mitzic concession in order to renew the concession for a third term of three years. The expenditures during the second period are reduced by $CFA 272,389,955 ($524,836) which represent amounts spent in the second period to October 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 ($1,541,426) in the third term per Gabonese law. The Company may apply for a mining license at any time during these periods.  As of October 31, 2014, one U.S. dollar approximates $CFA 519.
	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 (the "Royalty").
	Litigation and Claims
	In July 2014 a local cooperative named Sociedad Cooperativa de Exploración Minera Mineros Norteños', S.C.L ("Mineros Norteños") filed an action before the First Court in Civil Matters in Chihuahua City, Mexico against the Company's subsidiary, Minera Metalin, claiming that the Company breached an agreement regarding the development of the Sierra Mojada Project. Mineros Norteños is seeking payment of the  Royalty, including interest at a rate of 6% per annum from August 30, 2004, notwithstanding that no revenue has been produced from the applicable mining concessions, and it is also seeking payment of wages to the cooperative's members from August 30, 2004, notwithstanding that none of the individuals were ever hired or performed work for the Company. The Company and the Company's Mexican legal counsel believe this claim is without merit and have asserted all applicable defenses. The Company has not accrued any amounts in our financial statements with respect to this claim.
	From time to time, the Company is involved in other disputes, claims, proceedings and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company intends to vigorously defend all claims against the Company, and pursue our full legal rights in cases where the Company has been harmed. Although the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be accurately predicted due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, in the opinion of management, based upon current information, no other currently pending or overtly threatened proceeding is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
	Office Lease Commitment
	The Company entered into a five-year office lease agreement from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2017 for the Company's corporate office in Vancouver, Canada. The monthly lease payment is $CDN 7,743 until March 31, 2016, increasing to $CDN 7,981 on April 1, 2016. As of October 31, 2014, one U.S. dollar approximates $CDN 1.13.

SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policy)	12 Months Ended
	Oct. 31, 2014
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and the Company's previously wholly owned subsidiaries Dome International and Dome Gabon, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company are listed in Note 1.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and assumptions are accounted for prospectively.
	Significant areas involving the use of estimates include determining the allowance for uncollectible taxes, evaluating recoverability of property concessions, evaluating impairment of long-lived assets, evaluating impairment of goodwill, establishing a valuation allowance on future use of deferred tax assets and calculating stock-based compensation.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue when the title and risks and rewards of ownership pass to the buyer, the selling price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and collection of the sale proceeds is considered probable. As of October 31, 2014, the Company has not recognized any revenues.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Property Concessions	Property Concessions
	Property concessions acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred and will be amortized using the units of production method following the commencement of production. If a property concession is subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be expensed in the period of abandonment or impairment. To date, no property concession have reached the production stage.
	Acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the acquisition of property concessions.
Exploration Costs	Exploration Costs
	Exploration costs incurred are expensed to the date of establishing that costs incurred are economically recoverable. Exploration expenditures incurred subsequent to the establishment of economic recoverability are capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the related property. To date, the Company has not established the economic recoverability of its exploration prospects; therefore, all exploration costs are being expensed.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Assets under construction are depreciated when they are substantially complete and available for their intended use, over their estimated useful lives. Repairs and maintenance of property and equipment are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred to enhance the service potential of property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the improved asset. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line, over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
	Mining equipment – 5 to 10 years
	Vehicles – 4 years
	Building and structures – 40 years
	Computer equipment and software – 3 years
	Well equipment – 10 to 40 years
	Office equipment – 3 to 10 years
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	Management reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events and changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts of its assets may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if the future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on the difference between book value and fair value of the asset group, as determined through the application of a present value technique using expected future cash flows to estimate fair value in the absence of a market price. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of cash flows from other asset groups.
Goodwill	Goodwill
	Goodwill is the purchase premium after adjusting for the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis, or when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment, at the reporting unit level. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment tests at April 30th of each fiscal year.
	In performing the goodwill impairment tests the Company has the option to elect 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 the Company determines that this is the case or the Company does not chose to elect to perform a qualitative assessment, the Company 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 the Company determines based on the qualitative assessment that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the tax basis and accounting basis of the assets and liabilities measured using tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is at least “more likely than not” that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authorities. This accounting standard also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure.
	A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by this guidance to allow recognition of such an asset. Management recorded a full valuation allowance at October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 against the deferred tax assets as it deems future realization would not meet the criteria “more likely than not”.
Stock-Based Compensation and Warrants	Stock-Based Compensation and Warrants
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model as a method for determining the estimated fair value for all stock options awarded to employees, officers, directors and consultants.  The expected term of the options is based upon evaluation of historical and expected future exercise behavior.  The risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life of the grant.  Volatility is determined upon historical volatility of the Company's stock and adjusted if future volatility is expected to vary from historical experience.  The dividend yield is assumed to be none as the Company has not paid dividends nor does the Company anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.  The Company uses the graded vesting attribution method to recognize compensation costs over the requisite service period.
	The Company also used the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair market value of warrants. Expected volatility is based upon weighted average of historical volatility over the contractual term of the warrant and implied volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based upon implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the contractual term of the warrants.  The dividend yield is assumed to be none as the Company has not paid dividends nor does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Loss Per Share	Loss Per Share
	Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted loss per share. Although there were stock options and warrants in the aggregate of 11,422,144 shares and 21,848,977 shares outstanding at October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, they were not included in the calculation of loss per share because they would have been considered anti-dilutive.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation
	During the years ended October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the functional currency of Silver Bull Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar except for the Gabonese subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Central African Franc (“$CFA”).
	During the years ended October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 the Company's Mexican foreign operations monetary assets and liabilities were translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rate and non-monetary assets and liabilities were translated using the historical exchange rate. The Company's Mexican foreign operations revenue and expenses were translated at the average exchange rate during the period except for depreciation of office and mining equipment and impairment of property concessions which are translated using the historical exchange rate. Foreign currency translation gains and losses of the Company's foreign Mexican operations are included in the consolidated statement of operations.
	During the years ended October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 assets and liabilities of the Company's Gabonese operations were translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rate, and revenue and expenses were translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Exchange differences arising on translation were disclosed as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions were reflected in the results of operations.  Intercompany transactions and balances with the Company's Gabonese subsidiaries were considered to be planned or anticipated to settle in the foreseeable future. All foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans which were considered to be planned or anticipated to settle in the foreseeable future were included in the consolidated statement of operations.
Accounting for Loss Contingencies and Legal Costs	Accounting for Loss Contingencies and Legal Costs
	From time to time, the Company is named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. The Company records an accrual for the estimated loss from a loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of our financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.  Disclosure of a loss contingency is made by the Company if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred, and either an accrual has not been made or an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued. In cases where only disclosure of the loss contingency is required, either the estimated loss or a range of estimated loss is disclosed or it is stated that an estimate cannot be made. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are considered period costs and accordingly are expensed in the period services are provided.
Reclassifications	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	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Year
	Effective in July, 2014, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-10: Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. The standard removes the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from GAAP. In addition, the standard eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. As a result, the Company eliminated inception to date information from the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014.
	Effective November 1, 2013, the Company adopted 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 August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The update provides guidance to an organization's management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The Company has not determined the effects of this update on the Company's financial position, result of operations or cash flows and disclosures at this time.
	In July 2013, the 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.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals of a component or group of components of an entity representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results are presented as discontinued operations. In addition, ASU 2014-08 requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide additional information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The update is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company has not determined the effects of this update on the Company's financial position, result of operations or cash flows and disclosures at this time.
	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.
