What Bunker Hill Mining does
Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (TSX:BNKR; OTCQB:BHLL) is a Nevada-registered, SEC-compliant U.S. mining company operating the historic Bunker Hill silver-lead-zinc mine in Kellogg, Idaho, within the Coeur d'Alene Mining District (Silver Valley). The mine produced over 165 million ounces of silver, 3 million tons of lead, and 1.3 million tons of zinc over a 95-year operating history (1885 to early 1980s) before being placed on care and maintenance. Under former Barrick Gold executive leadership installed in 2020, the company repositioned the asset as a modern, ESG-driven brownfield restart anchored by a 3D digitized geological model built from over 3,500 historic drill-holes and hand-drawn maps, and supported by a landmark EPA/Idaho DEQ regulatory arrangement that restructured historical environmental liability. The company is pre-revenue and pre-production, with a target restart in June 2026 at 1,800 tonnes per day and a planned 2,500 tpd expansion underwritten by a U.S. EXIM Bank Letter of Intent for up to US$150 million in debt financing.
The business model is a single-asset, project-financed mining operation. Future revenue will be generated from sales of silver/lead/zinc concentrate to industrial smelters and refiners under offtake arrangements — Teck Resources is the disclosed anchor offtake counterparty and a strategic equity investor — with concentrate pricing tied to prevailing silver, zinc, and lead market prices. Until production restarts, the company is funded by a layered capital stack including a multi-tranche silver loan facility from Monetary Metals Bond III LLC, convertible debentures and a standby facility from Sprott Private Resource Streaming and Royalty Corp., an unsecured promissory note from Teck Resources, a C$52 million bought deal private placement, and a C$33.75 million LIFE Offering of units. The customer base is exclusively institutional: smelters/refiners (post-restart), project financiers, and equity investors. Technology is concentrated in the 3D geologic model, AI-enabled exploration intelligence via VRIFY (a third-party AI platform used for predictive targeting of high-grade silver), and a water treatment system that discharges approximately 1,500 gallons per minute via the Kellogg Tunnel. The company holds Digbee ESG Gold certification and is a member of the U.S. Cornerstone Consortium and U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium.

Product overview
Bunker Hill Mining Corp. operates a single-asset mining business centered on the Bunker Hill Mine — a historic silver-lead-zinc underground mine in Kellogg, Idaho's Coeur d'Alene mining district — scheduled for a June 2026 production restart at 1,800 tonnes per day. The flagship Bunker Hill Mine anchors the portfolio, complemented by the recently acquired Ranger-Page Silver-Zinc-Lead Project (which expands Silver Valley land holdings) and the active Cate-8 Vein Target exploration program (which targets high-grade silver-lead mineralization in the upper mine area to support near-term production). Supporting these core mining assets are ESG-focused offerings including the Water Quality Tracking Platform and its Kellogg Tunnel Real-Time Data Feed, which provide public-facing transparency on mine water discharge quality. The company also leverages VRIFY's AI-Enabled Exploration Intelligence Software to validate exploration opportunities across its portfolio, representing an integrated combination of physical mining operations, exploration assets, and digital ESG monitoring capabilities.
