Highlander Silver Completes Takeover of Bear Creek Mining and Settles Key Debts

An announcement from Bear Creek Mining ( (TSE:BCM) ) is now available.

Highlander Silver Corp. has completed its business combination with Bear Creek Mining, acquiring all outstanding Bear Creek shares in an all-share transaction that makes Bear Creek a wholly owned subsidiary. The deal involved issuing Highlander shares to Bear Creek investors at a fixed exchange ratio, effectively folding Bear Creek’s assets and projects into Highlander’s growth platform.

Concurrently, Highlander Silver settled key debt obligations by paying US$6.2 million to Royal Gold and US$1.6 million to Equinox, and repaid advances and interest owed to Wheaton Precious Metals International. Following the transaction, Bear Creek will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange, withdraw from OTCQX and the Lima Stock Exchange, and apply to cease being a reporting issuer in Canada, simplifying the group’s capital markets profile while centralizing value in Highlander shares.
