Exhibit 99.1
Silver Elephant: First El Triunfo Drill Hole Intercepts 48.9 Meter
Mineralization Grading 1.45 g/t Gold Equivalent (0.42 g/t Gold,
35.5 g/t Silver, 1.17% Zinc, and 0.83% Lead)
within 98.9 Meters Grading 1.04 g/t AuEq
Vancouver, British Columbia, November 25, 2020 – Silver Elephant Mining Corp. (“Silver Elephant” or “the Company”) (TSX:ELEF, OTCQX:SILEF, Frankfurt:1P2N) announces that further to the news release dated August 19, 2020, it has received the complete assay results from the Company’s first diamond drill program at its 100%-controlled El Triunfo Au-Ag-Zn-Pb project in Bolivia.
Borehole TR007 intercepted 48.9 meters of mineralization grading 0.42 g/t gold, 35.5 g/t silver, 1.17% zinc, and 0.83% lead (1.45 g/t AuEq) within 98.9 meters of mineralization grading 1.04 g/t AgEq starting 13.0 meters downhole.
Notable highlights include
| Hole ID | From | To | Length (m) | Au (g/t) | Ag (g/t) | Zn % | Pb % | AuEq* (g/t) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TR006 | 40.0 | 76.0 | 36.0 | 0.49 | 15.46 | 0.54 | 0.44 | 0.97 |

(*) Gold equivalent calculation uses a gold price of $1,795, a zinc price of $0.93, a lead price of $0.80, and a silver price of $18.30 (all USD), and assumes a 100% metallurgical recovery. Gold equivalent values can be calculated using the following formula: AuEq = Au g/t + (Ag g/t x 0.0102) + (Zn % x 0.3551) + (Pb % x 0.3055).
Danniel Oosterman, Company’s VP of Exploration, states: “Silver Elephant’s maiden drill program at El Triunfo successfully demonstrates broad continuity of east-west mineralization spanning a minimum 225 meters in strike. It is open beyond 100 meters depth in both east and west directions. We are also very pleased with the intercepted grades of around 1g/t gold equivalent in the context of today’s gold price of $1,850 an oz. In short, we are off to a great start delineating near-surface, potential bulk tonnage resources at El Triunfo.”
Mineralization is hosted in altered black shales exhibiting hydrothermal sheeted quartz-carbonate vein sets that are concentrated along the axes of regional anticlinal fold structures.

Reported widths in all tables are intercepted core lengths and not true widths, as relationships with intercepted structures and contacts vary. Based on core-angle measurements, true widths range from 54% to 65% of reported core length.
As the next step, the Company will integrate those results with planned district geological mapping and geophysics such as induced polarization (IP). Commencement of next round of El Triunfo drilling is tentatively scheduled for first half of 2021.
El Triunfo maps are posted at http://www.silverelef.com.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Silver Elephant adopts industry-recognized best practices in its implementation of QA/QC methods. A geochemical standard control sample and a blank sample are inserted into the sample stream at every 20th sample. Duplicates are taken at every 40th sample. Standards and duplicates (including lab duplicates and standards) are analyzed using Thompson-Howarth plots. Samples are shipped to ALS Global Laboratories in Ururo, Bolivia for preparation and then shipped to ALS Global laboratories in Lima, Peru for analysis. Samples are analyzed using an aqua regia digestion with super trace ICP-MS analysis. Gold is analyzed with optimized fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The ALS Laboratories sample management system meets all the requirements of International Standards ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015. All ALS geochemical hub laboratories are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for specific analytical procedures.
All samples are taken from HQ-diameter core and split in half by a diamond-blade masonry saw. One-half of the core is submitted for laboratory analysis and the other half is preserved for reference at the Company’s secured core facility. Prior to sampling, all core is geotechnically analyzed and photographed and then logged by geologists.
