Big Bear Gold Corp. (TSXV: BEAR) announced on October 6, 2026 that its common shares are expected to resume trading on the TSX Venture Exchange at market open on Thursday, October 8, 2026. Trading in the shares was halted on September 28, 2026, pending the announcement of the company's acquisition of an optioned interest in the Peerless Property. The announcement is a short notice, and the disclosure in it is limited.
The transaction behind the halt is an assignment and assumption of property option agreement dated September 25, 2026, between the company, Bathurst Metals Corp. and Stanley R McClay, as bare trustee for BCT Holdings Corp. Under it, Big Bear will acquire Bathurst Metals' 100% optioned interest in the Peerless Property, located in the Bridge River Mining Camp in British Columbia. The transaction is subject to TSXV approval.
The notice does not restate the consideration or the terms of the underlying option. It states that full details of the transaction are set out in the company's news release dated October 1, 2026. This entry draws only on the resumption notice; a reader looking for the price and the option terms should go to that earlier release, and to the exchange's decision on approval.
Beyond its location in the Bridge River Mining Camp, the notice gives no information on the property itself, such as its size, mineralization or past work, and no closing date. The company describes itself as focused on acquiring and developing mineral properties with strong potential to host significant resources in Western Canada. For holders, the practical change is the date: shares halted since September 28 are expected to trade again from the open on October 8, with the transaction still subject to TSXV approval.
