VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 23, 2015 / Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (TSX.V: DV | PINKSHEETS: DOLLF) (the "Company" or "Dolly Varden") announces that its board of directors (the "Board") has voted to cease further accruals under the Company's deferred share unit plan (the "DSU Plan"). The DSU Plan was implemented on June 20, 2013, and accrued common shares in the capital of the Company on a quarterly basis, as payment to Dolly Varden's non-executive Board members and certain non-director employees. While this cessation will eliminate the accrual of future liabilities under the DSU Plan, it will not alter the terms of currently outstanding deferred share units, as they exist under the DSU Plan.

In addition, a total of 315,000 share purchase options have been granted to certain new directors of the Company, and members of the Company's executive and technical team. Each share purchase option entitles the holder to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.30 per common share expiring five years from the date of grant. The grant of stock options was made in accordance with the Company's January 2012 share option plan.
