Highlander Silver folds in Bear Creek assets, looks to silver index inclusion

Highlander Silver commenced its first exploration drilling program in over a decade at the Corani Silver Project in Peru, utilizing the first of four planned drill rigs, said Daniel Earle, president and CEO, in a conversation with Mining Stock Daily. Since its recent acquisition of Bear Creek Mining, the company has focused on infrastructure development, including road earthworks, facility upgrades, and the construction of a new powerline substation. The company reports an unaudited cash balance of approximately US$100 million and no debt as of March 31, 2026. A feasibility study update is scheduled for completion by the end of Q3 2026 to evaluate the project's staged-development model and potential economic outcomes.
