Bear Creek Mining stock (ISIN CA07380N1042) is tied to 0.1175 Highlander Silver share for each Bear Creek share under the completed arrangement. Lexpert reported the transaction on September 16, 2026, while Highlander Silver became the listed company under the symbol HSLV.

Share exchange sets the terms

The arrangement transferred all issued and outstanding Bear Creek shares to Highlander Silver, with former Bear Creek holders receiving 0.1175 Highlander share per share. The combined portfolio includes Bear Creek's Corani silver project in Peru and the Mercedes operating gold and silver mine in Mexico, alongside Highlander's San Luis project, according to Lexpert.

Bear Creek Mining describes Corani as a fully permitted silver-polymetallic development asset and Mercedes as an operating gold and silver mine with exploration potential. The combination therefore shifts the company story from a standalone BCM listing to Highlander's larger development and production platform.

Corani financing adds a measurable checkpoint

On September 23, 2026, Highlander Silver announced a mandate for a USD 330 million, seven-year senior secured project finance facility for Corani. The proposed facility also includes a company-funded cost overrun facility of up to USD 100 million before the first draw.

Highlander said the financing remains subject to definitive documents, credit approvals and technical, financial, environmental and social due diligence. Closing is targeted for Q1 2027, making financing execution the next concrete test for the asset that Bear Creek shareholders contributed to the combined company.

BCM holders now follow HSLV

The transaction terms and the Corani financing connect the former BCM security to Highlander Silver's execution timeline. For investors tracking the Bear Creek legacy asset, the key figures are the 0.1175 share exchange ratio and the USD 330 million project facility, rather than a standalone operating update from Bear Creek.
