February 22, 2023, Vancouver, British Columbia – Bear Creek Mining Corporation (TSXV: BCM) (OTCQX:BCEKF) (BVL: BCM) (“Bear Creek” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of recent drilling from the Marianas and Rey de Oro deposits at the Mercedes gold mine in Sonora, Mexico. The results highlighted below demonstrate the continuation of gold and silver mineralization at both Marianas and Rey de Oro outside of the currently estimated mineral resources and mineral reserves and provide the basis for an expanded exploration program in 2023. Importantly, much of this drilling has returned intercepts with gold grades that are several times the current head grades being mined at Mercedes.
