Highlander Silver Announces Planned NYSE American Listing in Q1/26
Highlander Vaults Toward Mid-Tier Status with Bear Creek Merger and NYSE Listing Ambitions
The most recent news (December 31, 2025) announces Highlander Silver’s (HSLV) plan to list on the NYSE American in Q1 2026. This follows the transformative December 19, 2025, announcement of a business combination with Bear Creek Mining. HSLV is acquiring Bear Creek via a plan of arrangement where BCM shareholders receive 0.1175 HSLV shares for each BCM share. Concurrently, HSLV is settling Bear Creek’s debts with Royal Gold and Equinox Gold through a combination of $7.8M USD in cash and various NSR royalty grants/restructuring. The company also announced a $18M CAD concurrent private placement and is currently integrating record-breaking drill results from its San Luis project (e.g., 23.9m at 20.82 g/t Au).
The combination of the Bear Creek merger and the NYSE listing is a "Game Changer" for HSLV, transitioning it from a high-grade explorer into a diversified silver company with a producing asset and a world-class development project. - Asset Diversification: HSLV adds the Corani Project (one of the world's largest undeveloped silver deposits) and the Mercedes Mine (production) to its high-grade San Luis exploration project. - Financial Restructuring: By settling Bear Creek’s distressed debt with Royal Gold and Equinox, HSLV "cleans" the BCM balance sheet using its own strong cash position ($102.4M as of Sept 30, 2025). - Valuation & Liquidity: The NYSE American listing is intended to attract U.S. institutional capital and provide the liquidity required to fund the massive Capex likely needed for Corani. - Grade Profile: The most recent resource data for San Luis confirms "bonanza" grades (579 g/t Ag and 24.4 g/t Au indicated), which provides a high-value "kicker" to the larger-scale BCM assets.
Highlander Silver is focused on silver and gold in Peru and Mexico. - Flagship (Original): San Luis (Ancash, Peru). A high-grade epithermal system with an indicated resource of 8.4 Moz Ag at 579 g/t and 356 koz Au at 24.4 g/t. - Flagship (Post-Merger): Corani (Puno, Peru). One of the largest silver-lead-zinc deposits in the world at the feasibility stage. - Production: Mercedes Gold-Silver Mine (Sonora, Mexico).
