BEAR CREEK MINING ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

Bear Creek Mining Corp. has released the results of the company's special meeting of shareholders that took place in Vancouver, B.C., on Sept. 21, 2023.

As more fully described in the company's information circular dated Aug. 9, 2023, shareholders were asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass an ordinary resolution to approve the: (i) issuance of a five-year convertible promissory note to defer a $25-million (U.S.) current liability owed to Equinox Gold Corp.; and (ii) creation of Equinox Gold, and/or any affiliates of Equinox Gold, as a new control person (as defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V)) of the company. The full text of the resolution was provided in Appendix A of the circular. Subsequent amendments to the circular, announced via a news release issued by the company on Sept. 13, 2023, did not affect the form or intent of the resolution.

Fifty-seven per cent of shares eligible to be voted at the meeting were cast, and the resolution was passed by 88.9 per cent of votes cast at the meeting.

The form of the note has been settled between Equinox Gold and the company. Issuance of the note is subject to both shareholder approval, which was secured at the meeting, and final approval by the TSX-V. The company expects to proceed with issuance of the note once TSX-V approval is obtained.

We seek Safe Harbor.
