About Bear Creek:

Bear Creek Mining is focused in Peru, a mineral-rich nation with a favorable investment climate. The Company's Corani and Santa Ana Projects contain more than 500 million ounces of silver of which over 320 million ounces are in reserves providing near-term production potential and excellent leverage to silver prices.
