May 04, 2020

4 May 2020 – Toronto, Ontario – Silver Bear Resources Plc (“Silver Bear” or the “Company”) (TSX: SBR) announces today that owing to government-mandated COVID-19 restrictions on travel and the Company’s own on-site quarantine, it is unable to meet the 15 May 2020 deadline to file its unaudited financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and management’s certifications of its interim filings for the three month period ending 31 March 2020 (the “Filings”).
