EXPLANATORY NOTE



This Amendment No. 2 to the Form 10-K (this “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Bunker Hill Mining Corp. for the year ended June 30, 2029 filed on October 22, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”). The purpose of this Amendment is to restate and amend previously issued financial statements. In November 2020, it was determined that the Company has underaccrued for invoices issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") for excess water treatment costs relating to years ended June 30, 2018 and 2019 and interest payable on the outstanding EPA balance, which resulted in an understatement of liabilities for 2018 and 2019, an understatement of opening deficit for 2019 and closing deficit for 2018 and 2019, and an understatement of exploration expenses and net losses for 2018 and 2019.

PART I

ITEM 1.BUSINESS

BUSINESS


The Corporation

Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (Formerly Liberty Silver Corp.) (the “Company” or the “Corporation”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada, U.S.A on February 20, 2007 under the name Lincoln Mining Corp.  Pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment dated February 11, 2010, the Company changed its name to Liberty Silver Corp.  On September 29, 2017, the Company changed its name to Bunker Hill Mining Corp. The Company’s registered office is located at 1802 N. Carson Street, Suite 212, Carson City Nevada 89701, and its head office is located at 401 Bay Street, Suite 2702, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 2Y4, and its telephone number is 416-477-7771.

Current Operations

Overview

The Company was incorporated for the purpose of engaging in mineral exploration and development activities.  On August 28, 2017, the Company announced that it signed a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) for the lease and option to purchase of the Bunker Hill Mine (the “Mine”) in Idaho. The “Bunker Hill Lease with Option to Purchase” is between the Company and Placer Mining Corporation (“Placer Mining”), the current owner of the Mine.

Highlights of the Agreement are as follows:

*

Effective date: November 1, 2017;

*

Initial term: 24 months;

*

The lease can be extended for another 12 months at any time byOn October 2, 2018, the Company by payingannounced that it was in default of its Lease with Option to Purchase Agreement with Placer MiningMining. The default arose as a US $600,000 bonus payment and by continuing to pay the monthly lease paymentsresult of US $100,000 per month;

*

US $1 million bonus payment to Placer Mining no later than October 31, 2017;

*

The Company shall pay Placer Mining US $100,000 upon signing themissed lease and US $100,000operating cost payments, totaling $400,000, which were due at the end of September and on October 1, 2017 for maintenance and upkeep fee of the mine;

*

The Company shall pay Placer Mining a US $500,000 bonus payment on November 15, 2017 and a US $500,000 bonus payment on December 15, 2017;

*

The Company shall pay Placer Mining US $100,000 monthly mining lease payments, which shall be paid quarterly (except for the lease payments for the months of November and December 2017, which shall be paid on or before November 1, 2017);

*

The option to purchase is exercisable at the Company’s discretion; and

*

Purchase by the Company can be made at any time during lease period and any extension thereto.

Under the terms of2018. As per the Agreement, the Company will havehad 15 days, from the rightdate notice of default was provided (September 28, 2018), to remediate the default by making the outstanding payment. While Management worked with urgency to resolve this matter, Management was ultimately unsuccessful in remedying the default, resulting in the lease being terminated. On November 13, 2018, the Company announced that it was successful in renewing the lease.

The 24-month lease continues until October 31, 2019. The lease period can be extended by a further 12 months at the Company’s discretion.  Under the revised terms of its agreement, during the term of the lease, the Company must make $60,000 monthly mining lease payments.  A monthly amount of $140,000 is deferred and becomes payable if the Company exercises its purchase option, making the deferred amount payable.  The Company is accruing for these payments and includes them in accounts payable.

The Company has an option to purchase the Bunker Hill Mine assets (“the Bunker Assets”) at any time before the end of the lease and any extension thereto for a purchase price of US $45$25 million with purchase payments to be made over a ten-year period to Placer Mining.period. Under the terms of the Agreement,agreement, there is a 3% NSRnet smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on productionsales during the Lease and a 1.5% NSR on the productionsales after the purchase option is exercised, which post-acquisition NSR is capped at US $60 million.

In addition to the payments to Placer Mining, pursuant to an agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) whereby for so long as Bunker leases, owns and/or occupies the Bunker Hill Mine, the Company will make payments to the EPA on behalf of the current owner in satisfaction of the EPA’s claim for cost recovery.  These payments, if all are made, will total $20 million.  The agreement calls for payments starting with $1 million 30 days after a fully ratified agreement was signed (which payment was made) followed by $2 million on November 1, 2018 and $3 million on each of the next 5 anniversaries with a final $2 million payment on November 1, 2024.  In addition to these payments, the company is to make semi-annual payments of $480,000 on June 1 and December 1 of each year, to cover the EPA’s costs of maintaining the water treatment facility.  The November 1 and December 1, 2018 payments were not made, and the Company is having discussions with the EPA to amend and defer payments.

The Company also has received invoices from the EPA for water treatment charges for the periods from December 2017 to October 2019. This was for a total of $3,269,388, with $1,209,530 additional accruals required as at June 30, 2019. The Company is having discussions with the EPA to review and, where appropriate, have the additional water treatment charges amended. The unpaid EPA balance is subject to interest at the rate specified for interest on investments of the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund.

Management believes this amended lease and option will provide the Company time to bothcomplete exploratory drilling, produce a mine plan and raise the money needed to move forward and that this is a strong signal to the market that the Bunker Hill Mine is back.forward.  Management is now ablecontinues to push forward and advance the time line to realizing shareholder value.





The Bunker Hill Mine was the largest producing mine in the Coeur d'Alene zinc, lead and silver mining district in northern Idaho.  Historically, the mine produced over 35M tonnes of ore grading on average 8.76% lead, 3.67% zinc, and 155 g/t silver (Bunker Hill Mines Annual Report 1980). 

The Company believes that there are numerous targets of opportunity left in the mine from top to bottom, and particularly on a strike to the west where more recent past drilling has resulted in major discoveries such as the Quill body of mineralized material.


1


The Bunker Hill Mine is now the Company’s only focus, with a view to raising capital to rehabilitate the mine and put it back into production.

The Company was previously focused on exploring and developing the Trinity Silver property located in Pershing County, Nevada (the “Trinity Project”).  The Trinity Project consists of a total of approximately 10,020 acres, including 5,676 acres of fee land and 253 unpatented mining claims located along the west flank of the Trinity Range in Pershing County, Nevada, about 25 miles by road northwest of Lovelock, NV, the county seat.    The annual cost to maintain the 253 claims is approximately $35,420 per year ($140 per claim per year).  In 2016, due to the lack of funding available to the Company, exploration progress was not on schedule with the Company’s exploration and evaluation plan and, as a result of these circumstances, the related carrying value of the properties may not be recoverable.  The Company therefore recorded an impairment charge related to the Trinity Project and reduced its carrying amount of the Trinity Project to $1 on the balance sheet for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

The Company did not commence development stage activities, but with adequate resources previous Management intended on: (i) expanding the known mineralized material through drilling, (ii) permitting for operation, if deemed economically viable, (iii) conducting metallurgical studies aimed at enhancing the recovery of the silver and by-product lead and zinc, and (iv) prepare an engineering design related to potential construction of a new mine. Exploration of the property would be conducted simultaneously with the mine development in order to locate additional mineralized materials.

With the Company’s Management focused on the Bunker Hill Mine, in September 2017, the Company agreed to relinquish its rights to the Trinity Project to Renaissance Exploration, Inc., its project partner, in return for releasing the Company from all past and future obligations.

Products

The Bunker Hill Mine is a Zinc-Silver-Lead Mine.  When back in production, the Company will mill mineralized material on-site or at a local third-party mill and plans to produce concentrates to be shipped to third party smelters for processing.

The Company will continue to explore the property with a view to proving resources.

Infrastructure

The acquisition of the Bunker Hill mine includes all mining rights and claims, surface rights, fee parcels, mineral interests, easements, existing infrastructure at Milo Gulch, and the majority of machinery and buildings at the Kellogg Tunnel portal level, as well as all equipment and infrastructure anywhere underground at the Bunker Hill Mine Complex.  The acquisition also includes all current and historic data relating to the Bunker Hill Mine Complex, such as drill logs, reports, maps, and similar information located at the mine site or any other location. 

Government Regulation and Approval

The current exploration activities and any future mining operations are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment, waste disposal, worker safety, mine construction, and protection of endangered and protected species. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, significant expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.  Future changes in applicable laws, regulations and permits or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.





It is anticipated that it may be necessary to obtain the following environmental permits or approved plans prior to commencement of mine operations:

§

ŸReclamation and Closure Plan

§

ŸWater Discharge Permit   

§

ŸAir Quality Operating Permit

§

ŸIndustrial Artificial (tailings) pond permit

§

ŸObtaining Water Rights for Operations

Property Description

The Company’s agreement with Placer Mining Corporation includes mineral rights to 434 patented mining claims covering 5769.467 acres of those 35 include surface ownership over approximately 259.1 acres.  The transaction also includes certain parcels of fee property which includes mineral and surface rights but are not patented mining claims. Mining claims and fee properties are located in Townships 47, 48 North, Range 2 East, Townships 47, 48 North, Range 3 East, Boise Meridian, Shoshone County, Idaho. The agreement specifically excludes the following: the Machine Shop Building and Parcel, including all fixed equipment located inside the building and personal property located upon the parcel; unmilled ore on deck and residual lead/zinc ore mined and broken, but not removed from the Bunker Hill Mine; the historic Caledonia Mine; the Crystal Vug; and the Silver Ridge exploration property.

Surface rights were originally owned by various previous owners of the claims until the acquisition of the properties by BLP.Bunker Limited Partners (“BLP”).  BLP sold off surface rights to various parties over the years while maintaining access to conduct mining operations and exploration activities as well as easements to a cross over and access other of its properties containing mineral rights. Said rights were reserved to its assigns and successors in continuous perpetuity. Idaho Law also allows mineral right holders access to mine and explore for minerals on properties to which they hold minerals rights.

Title to all patented mining claims included in the transaction was transferred from Bunker Hill Mining Co. (U.S.) Inc. by Warranty Deed in 1992. The sale of the property was properly approved of by the U.S. Trustee and U.S. Bankruptcy Court.  

Over 90% of surface ownership of patented mining claims not owned by Placer Mining Corp. is owned by different landowners. These include: Stimpson Lumber Co.; Riley Creek Lumber Co.; Powder LLC.; Golf LLC.; C & E Tree Farms; and Northern Lands LLC.

Patented mining claims in the State of Idaho do not require permits for underground mining activities to commence.commence on private lands.  Other permits associated with underground mining may be required, such as water discharge and site disturbance permits.  The water discharge is being handled by the EPA at the existing water treatment plant.  The Company willexpects to take on the water treatment responsibility in the future and obtain an appropriate discharge permit.  If the FederalCompany is able to purchase the EPA’s water treatment plant the water discharge permit comes along with the water treatment plant.

Competition

The Company competes with other mining and exploration companies in connection with the acquisition of mining claims and leases on zinc and other base and precious metals prospects as well as in connection with the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.  Many of these companies are much larger than the Company, have greater financial resources and have been in the mining business for much longer than it has.  As such, these competitors may be in a better position through size, finances and experience to acquire suitable exploration and development properties.  The Company may not be able to compete against these companies in acquiring new properties and/or qualified people to work on its current project, or any other properties that may be acquired in the future.

Given the size of the world market for base precious metals such as silver, lead and zinc, relative to the number of individual producers and consumers, it is believed that no single company has sufficient market influence to significantly affect the price or supply of these metals in the world market.

Employees

The Company is currently managed by Bruce Reid,John Ryan, President and CEO; Julio DiGirolamo,CEO and Wayne Parsons, Chief Financial Officer; and Howard Crosby, Executive Vice President.Officer.

The Bunker Hill Mine

The Bunker Hill Mine is one of the most storied base metal and silver mines in American history.  Initial discovery and development of the Bunker Hill Mine property began in 1885, and from that time until the mine closed in 1981 it produced over 35.8 million tons of ore at an average mined grade of 8.76% lead, 4.52 ounces per ton silver, and 3.67% zinc (Bunker Limited Partnership,1985).  Throughout the long history of the mine, there were over 40 different orebodies discovered and mined, primarily consisting of Zinc-Lead-Silver mineralization. The Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mining Company had a strong history of regular dividend payments to shareholders from the time the Company went public in 1905 until it was acquired in a hostile takeover by Gulf Resources in 1968.  

When the mine first closed in 1981, it was estimated to still contain significant resources (Bunker Limited Partnership, 1985).  The Mine and Smelter Complex were closed in 1981 when Gulf Resources was not able to continue to comply with new regulatory structures brought on by the passage of environmental statutes and as then enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”).  The Bunker Hill Lead Smelter, Electrolytic Zinc Plant and historic milling facilities were demolished about 25 years ago, and the area became part of the “National Priority List” for cleanup under EPA regulations, thereby pausing development of the Bunker Hill Mine for over 30 years.  

The majority of the cleanup of the old smelter, zinc plant, and associated sites has now been completed and the Mine is now poised for further development and an eventual return to production.  The Company has been in contact with government officials who have expressed strong support and cooperation for the Company efforts to return the mine to being a productive mining asset.

History

The Bunker Hill lode in Northern Idaho was discovered on September 9, 1885 by prospectors who had journeyed to Idaho as part of a gold rush in the nearby Murray District. Early development was completed by Jim Wardner, a local mine developer who constructed the first milling facility.

In 1887 Simeon G. Reed purchased the claims and mill and incorporated the Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mining and Concentrating Company.





As the tonnage of ore in the mine increased, it became apparent that a mill of larger capacity was needed, and in 1891 a new mill of 400-ton capacity was built in the main valley below the confluence of Milo Creek with the South Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River. To transport ore to this mill, an aerial tramway with a horizontal length of 10,000 feet was constructed from Milo Gulch. This tramway served to transport all mine ore until the two-mile long Kellogg Tunnel was completed in 1902.

Two men stand out in the early history of the company. They are Frederick W. Bradley and Stanly A. Easton. Bradley first became associated with the company as a young engineer in 1890. In 1893 he was named general manager of the operation, and in 1897 he became the company's fourth president, a position he held until his death in 1933. He brought to Kellogg another young California engineer, Stanly Easton, who became general manager in 1903 and succeeded Bradley as President. Under the guidance of these two men the Bunker Hill Company grew from a small mining and concentrating venture to a large, integrated mining and smelting operation with a national presence.

On May 25, 1917, Bunker Hill and Sullivan joined with the Hecla Mining Company in forming the Sullivan Mining Company, which purchased and operated the Star mine near Mullan, Idaho, approximately 15 miles to the east. The ore from the Star mine had a relatively high zinc content and necessitated the erectionconstruction of an electrolytic zinc plant which was the first plant constructed of this type. The technological process that was devised for the plant was recognized as a significant new development in the metallurgical field and made possible the widespread use of zinc in such applications as galvanizing.

From its early days and through two major world wars the Bunker Hill Company operated as an independent and well-known mining and smelting company and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. On June l, 1968, in one of the earliest leveraged buyouts, Bunker Hill became a wholly owned subsidiary of Gulf Resources & Chemical Corp.

Growing public concern with the environment in the 1970s compelled Bunker Hill to spend large sums on plant improvements in order to comply with newly enacted federal air and water pollution laws. The Company also made major efforts to reclaim surrounding hillsides which had been denuded by the effects of decades of airborne smelter effluents and timbering for mining purposes.

Ultimately the costs of environmental compliance and the deep recession of 1981 with resulting declines in metal prices led to Gulf Resources' decision in August 1981 to close its Bunker Hill operations and put the company up for sale. In 1982 the company was sold to the Bunker Limited Partnership (“BLP”) whose principal owners were Harry Magnuson, Duane Hagadone, Jack Kendrick and Simplot Development Company (the Simplot company dropped out of the partnership in 1987). Although the new company ultimately reopened the mine, the lead and zinc smelting and refining operations remained closed.

As noted, the mine was briefly reopened from 1988 to 1990 by BLP. This reopening resulted in a large effort being made to drill and define the zinc-rich Quill ore body and to expand and improve the ramp system for modern rubber tiredrubber-tired mining methods. Although exceptional progress was made in defining new ore reservesmineralization and in meeting other goals, the operations were underfunded and targeted production goals were not met. Combined with low metal prices due to the recession of the early 1990s, BLP closed the mine in January, 1991 and shortly thereafter filed for bankruptcy. On May 1, 1992, the Bunker Hill Mine was sold to Placer Mining Co., a Nevada corporation. This sale was of the mine only, and Pintlar, Inc., a subsidiary of Gulf Resources & Chemical, remained responsible for the EPA Superfund cleanup of the smelter site.

The Company has signed a lease with option to purchase with Placer Mining on approximately the same land package and mine infrastructure that was transferred to Placer Mining approximately 25 years ago.





Geology and Mineralization

Geology

The Coeur d’Alene Mining District is one of the most prolific mining districts in North America. It has been in constant production since its discovery in the 1880s, historically is the second largest silver-producing area of North America,in the world, and is one of the largest zinc and lead producers as well. Over 100 mines historically have reached commercial production in the District and currently hosts two major mines, the Lucky Friday/Gold Hunter owned by Hecla Mining Company, and the Galena Mine, owned by America’s Silver are active.Silver. A number of other mines including the Sunshine, the Crescent, and the Coeur Mine have the potential to be quickly producingre-started should silver prices rise sufficiently to justify reactivation.

The District is underlain by members of the Precambrian Belt Super Group. The metasedimentary rocks are predominantly fine-grained quartzite, siltites and argillites. The District is structurally complex with multiple folding and faulting events being evident.  The WNW-trending Osburn fault runs through the district and has about 15 miles of right lateral displacement.


4


Mineralized zones in the district are generally parallel to sub-parallel to the Osburn fault. Numerous mines, including the Bunker Hill, are located south of the Osburn fault and occupy the steeply dipping to overturned north limb of a WNW-trending fold.

Mineralization

The mineralization at Bunker Hill is hosted in localized, structurally controlled shear zones and strati-form zones of significant width. The mineral bodies are grouped into three different types.

The NW trending Bluebird mineral zones are zinc rich and consist of sphalerite in excess of galena with variable amount of pyrite in a gangue of greyish quartz and minor siderite. This mineralized material is commonly localized in smaller parasitic folds, broken by reverse shears (Meyer, 1982).

The Jersey type mineral bodies consist principally of veins containing galena with lesser amounts of sphalerite, chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite (Meyer, 1981).  These NE to N trending veins are referred to as “link” veins as they extend between the NW trending Cate and Dull faults, or other faults in the mine. Gangue minerals are primarily white quartz with lesser siderite.

“Hybrid” mineral bodies comprise the third type and are associated with zones of brecciation located at the junctions of major faults. These are multi-stage systems where “Bluebird” type fracture zones were reopened and brecciated prior to flooding by galena from the newly opened ‘link’ veins. The galena penetrated and partially replaced the previous minerals and filled remaining open spaces (Meyer, 1981).

Mine and Mill Operations

Starting with the original Bunker Hill and Sullivan claims, the Bunker Hill Mine eventually encompassed 620 patented mining claims totaling 6,200 acres. From the discovery cuts some 3600 feet above sea level, over 20 major ore zones were mined to nearly 1600 feet below sea level, a vertical distance of about one mile.

Four major mining methods were historically employed in the Bunker Hill Mine. The oldest is square set or cut and fill. These methods employ support of the stope where the vein is mined with sets of timbers and/or rock bolts, and then sand-fill is pumped from the surface as the mining activity moves to a higher elevation. The broken ore was scraped into chutes by compressed air powered slushers and dropped into ore pockets on the level below.

The second method called shrink stoping is similar to the above, but no ground support is required. Instead the broken ore is used as both ground support and a mining floor and the full mining cut is completed prior to withdrawing the ore from the stope. Air powered slushers or compressed air operated mucking machines on rubber tires were historically used.

A third mining method is known as room and pillar mining. In this operation, no timber is required but pillars of ore are left in place as supports until the stoping moves to a higher elevation, at which time sand fill is pumped in to provide the floor for the next cut. As the ore is broken, rubber tired, compressed air operated mucking machines picked it up putting it into a box on the back of the loader. It was then transported to a chute in the stope where it dropped into the ore pocket on a lower level.

The fourth method is sublevel blasthole stoping. Diesel powered equipment cuts horizontal slices every forty feet in the ore zones. Then long holes are drilled in the pillars between horizontal slices. The holes are blasted allowing the ore to fall





to the bottom slice and scooped up by diesel powered loaders and transported to ore passes. This method was used above the Kellogg Tunnel, and ore was transported by gravity to the tunnel and hauled out by train to the surface.

From the ore pockets on the various levels of the mine below the Kellogg Tunnel, ore trains powered by battery driven locomotives transported the ore to ore pockets located at the shaft. In the shaft, large steel buckets, called skips, were loaded and hoisted to the Kellogg Tunnel level where the ore was dumped into two large concrete bins. Drawn from these storage areas by gravity, the ore was next transported two miles to the surface in 22-car ore trains pulled by trolley and diesel locomotives.

With the exception of the use of square set timbering, all of the above miningBlasthole stoping, cut and fill, and shrinkage stoping methods are likely to be employed in the restart of the Bunker Hill Mine. The main improvement and productivity gain over historic operations will be the widespread use of rubber-tired equipment, which will be used for mucking and transport of the broken mineralized material. The upper part of the mine is largely already developed with ramps, which will be used by the Company for rubber-tired access. Most of these ramps were completed by the Bunker Hill Company and ramp expansion also occurred during the Bunker Limited Partnership mine reopening.

Company engineers have already inspected many portions of the ramp system in the upper part of the mine and the ramps are generally in very good shape and will only require minor repair and clean-up.

Historically the Bunker Hill ore was milled in the milling facility located approximately 2000 yards from the main Kellogg Tunnel portal and the concentrate was treated at the nearby smelting and refining complex which was located approximately one mile to the west of the mill. The milling facility and smelting complex have all been razed and remediation of these sites has been largely completed.


5


An existing water treatment plant which was originally built by the Bunker Hill Company remains in operation and is operated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “E.P.A.”) through a local contractor. This plant has received numerous upgrades and capacity improvements in the last twenty-five years. All mine water which is discharged from the Bunker Hill Mine has been treated by the E.P.A. during the ownership of the mine by Placer Mining.

The Company has been involved in highly productive discussions with the E.P.A., the U.S. Dept. of Justice, and Placer Mining about resolution of the past response costs for water treatment and other matters involving the process of turnover of the Bunker Hill Mine operations to the Company.


The parties have largely concluded discussions which resolve the allocation of costs of water treatment and other past response costs of Placer Mining, as well as a framework for turnover of the mine, and an absolution of liability for past response costs for the Company. These discussion as of the date of this report are now subject to drafting the required agreements between the parties. Investors and other interested parties should be cautioned that all agreements are subject to the ultimate approval of the principals of Placer Mining as well as parties at both the E.P.A. and the U.S. Dept. of Justice, who can legally bind the United States.

Completed Work and Future Plan of Operations

Over the last six months theThe Company has undertaken a due diligence program to assure itself of the viability of a restart of the Bunker Hill Mine. This necessitated an extensive review of the records that were present primarily at the Bunker Hill Mine offices. At those offices there are tens of thousands of pages of reports and records which detail the operations of the mine from its earliest days to the time of the shutdown in 1991 by BLP.

In addition to reports, there are several thousand historical maps of all scales and sizes as well as historical mineral diagrams which detail the mineral bodies that remained in the mine at the time of closure in January, 1991. These reports are not compliant with Canada National Instrument 43-101 and cannot be used for the purposes of establishing reserves pursuant to that standard.

The Company has satisfied itself that there is a large amount of remaining zinc/lead/silver materialsmineralization in numerous mineralized zones remaining within the Bunker Hill Mine. The Company is now developing a plan to bring a number of these zones into N.I. 43-101 compliance through new sampling and drilling programs. The Company has identified several zones as having highest priority. The Company has prioritized zones capable of providing production in the nearestnear term, production as priority, these being the UTZ Zone, the Newgard Zone and the South NewgardQuill Zone. These three mineral zones will be the first to be N.I. 43-101 verified and will provide the majority of the early feed upon mine start-up.

The Bunker Hill Mine main level is termed the nine level and is the largest level in the mine and is connected to the surface by the approximately 12,000 foot-long Kellogg Tunnel. Three major inclined shafts with associated hoists and hoistrooms are located on the nine level. These are the No. 1 shaft, which is used for primary muck hoisting in the main part of the mine; the No. 2 shaft, which is a primary shaft for men and materials in the main part of the mine; and the No. 3 Shaft, which is used for men, materials and muck hoisting for development in the northwest part of the mine.

The top stations of these shafts and the associated hoistrooms and equipment have all been examined by Company personnel and are in moderately good condition. The Company believes that all three shafts remain in a condition that they are repairable and can be bought back into good working order over the next few years.

The water level in the mine is held at approximately the ten level of the mine, roughly 200 feet below the nine level. The mine was historically developed to the 27 level, although the 25 level was the last major level that underwent significant development and past mining. Each level is approximately 200 feet vertically apart.

The southeastern part of the mine was historically serviced by the Cherry Raise, which consisted of a two-compartment shaft with double drum hoisting capability that ran at an incline up from the nine level to the four level. The central part of the mine was serviced upward by the Last Chance Shaft from the nine level to the historic three or four level. Neither the Cherry Raise or the Last Chance shaft are serviceable at this time. However, the upper part of the mine from nineeight level up to the four level has been developed by past operators by a thorough-going rubber tire ramp system, which is judged to be about 65% complete.

The Company has already repaired the first several thousand feet of the Russell Tunnel, which is a large rubber tire capable tunnel with an entry point at the head of Milo Gulch. This tunnel will provide early access to the UTZ and Newgard/South Newgard mineral zones.Zone. The Company has inspected a great deal of the ramp system between the nineeight level and the four level, and the ramps are in good shape with only minor repair and rehabilitation needed. The Company has made development plans to provide interconnectivity of the ramp system from the Russell Tunnel at the four level down to the eight level, with further plans to extend the ramp down to the nine level. Thus rubber-tired equipment will be used for mining and haulage throughout the upper mine mineral zones, which have already been identified, and for newly found zones.

The Kellogg Tunnel will be used as a tracked rail haulage tunnel for supply of men and materials into the mine and for haulage of mined material out of the mine. Historically the Kellogg Tunnel (or “KT” for short) was used in this manner when the mine was producing upwards of 3000 tons per day of mined material. The Company has inspected the KT for its entire length and has determined that significant timbered sections of the tunnel will need extensive repairs. These are areas that intersect various faults passing through the KT at normal to oblique angles and create unstable ground.





The Company has also determined that all of the track, as well as spikes, plates and ties holding the track will need to be replaced. Additionally, the water ditch that runs parallel to the track will need to be thoroughly cleaned out and new timber supports and boards that keep the water contained in its path will need to be installed. All new water lines, compressed air lines and electric power feeds will also need to be installed. The total cost estimate for this KT work is still in process at the time of the date of this report, but the time estimate for these repairs is approximately eighteen months.

It is anticipated that earliest production will come from the upper levels of the mine where company personnel have observed mining faces of mineralized material that are readily mineable, as they were left behind by past operators in a more or less fully developed state. These upper mineralized material zones could achieve limited mining at perhaps a rate of 500 tons per day by haulage out through the Russell Tunnel and then trucked from the Milo Gulch landing to one or more potential nearby custom milling facilities.

Although the Company believes that the potential does exist for early production by shipping mineralized material to a custom mill, the Company has not yet undertaken discussions with mill owners, but anticipates such discussions could occur within the next one to three months. Longer term, theThe Company anticipates constructing its own milling facility near the mouth of the Kellogg Tunnel. Initially the mill capacity will be 1500 tons per day, and the mill will be designed for ready expansion when needed.

The Company has identified multiple tailings disposal sites to the west-northwest of where the mill will be located. Ultimately the Company believes the existing Central Impoundment Area or “CIA” (which was the tailings disposal area for the historic mine) might once again be available for new tailings disposal. However, with pragmatic use of the existing identified sites, the Company is confident it will have tailings disposal adequate for approximately ten years of production. Down the road alternatives involve the use again of the CIA or the use of “dry stack” tailings disposal.

As noted above, the E.P.A.EPA for several decades has provided mine water treatment services for the Bunker Hill Mine. When the Company begins its lease of the mine, it is planned that the E.P.A.EPA will be providing water treatment services under contract with the Company and such services will continue for at least five years or more. Although no firm agreement has yet been reached, recent discussions with the E.P.A.EPA also indicate that overflows from the mill or decant from the tailings facilities could also be treated at the water treatment plant under the same treatment contract.

If all of the mine water, mill outflows, and tailings discharges can be treated by the E.P.A.EPA treatment plant as currently contemplated, the Company will be initially relieved of the need to obtain a water discharge permit. This will simplify the permitting required to return the mine to production and to build a mill and associated tailings ponds because a water discharge permit is often a difficult permit to obtain and is highly dependent on the characteristics of the surrounding watersheds and the capacity of these watersheds to tolerate additional discharges.

Upon initiating mine production from the UTZ, Newgard, and South NewgardQuill zones at rates of approximately 1500 tons per day, the Company would anticipate mining approximately 450,000540,000 tons per year of material. The three aforementioned zones are believed to have sufficient mineral to supply the Company mining needs for at least five years and beyond.approximately 8 years.

Once the repairs are completed to the Kellogg Tunnel, mineralized material haulage will be able to immediately occur out of this tunnel, which will enhance the production capabilities of the mine by several magnitudes. Some mineralized material will continue to be transported by rubber-tired equipment directly out the Russel Tunnel, but the majority of mineralized material will be dropped down existing internal passes and be hauled out of the KT on rail. By this time in the restart program the Company would expect to be in production at around 1500 tons per day, which is approximately the planned mill capacity. If all items proceed as planned, the Company believes a steady state production of 1500 tons per day is achievable in approximately 36 months from the time of takeover of operations.





Additionally, once the KT repairs are completed, work on the repairs of the shafts and hoists can proceed with greater speed and the lower levels of the mine can be dewatered. The shaft work and pumping should commence at about year two of mine operations. Additionally, exploration and development work can begin on a major zinc mineral body, the “Quill”, which is already partly developed between the nine level and the fifteen level of the mine. This mineral body is expected to be in excess of 4 million tons of mineralized material and is primarily zinc.

Numerous other past-producing mineral bodies will begin to be revealed as the water levels are lowered and the mine is drained to the fullest. Some of these mineral bodies are lead-silver rich zones such as the Emery, Shea, Veral and the “J”, while others will add more material containing zinc such as the Tallon, Rosco, or Tony, while still others are best described as polymetallic such as the New Landers or the Francis.

The Company geologists and engineering personnel have studied the past records thoroughly and conclude that very good exploration and discovery potential exists at depth on downward rakes of known structures. Strata-bound zones such as the Newgard, Quill and Tallon await drilling to the west, while both the southeast and northwest limits of the main original Bunker Hill structure, in the heart of the Cate/Dull fault system, still remain viable as targets for future discovery of new mineral bodies or extensions of past mined structures.

Technical Report

AsOn September 6, 2018, the Company filed on SEDAR a National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) technical report on its Bunker Hill property.

The technical report included:

1.A 10-12 million ton Exploration Target comprised of the Quill/Newgard zones.  For comparison purposes, the historical resource estimate for the whole Bunker Hill property is 9.1 million tons grading 5.08% Zn, 2.35% Pb and 40 g/t Ag (or 1.29 ounces per ton); 

2.Results of Independent Sampling showing grades for the Quill/Newgard zones (Levels 9 & 10) averaging 20% Zn, 14%  


8


Pb and 247 g/t Ag (or 7.90 ounces per ton), which exceed average historic grades; and

3.a Plan for a US$7.7 million Exploration Program to upgrade the historic resources to a NI 43-101 Indicated Resource. 

Additionally, as noted, the Company currently has in its possession, and has had access to, numerous historical technical reports that were completed in the past by highly qualified parties. The company does not currently have a technical report on the Bunker Hill Mine that is compliant with Canada National Instrument 43-101. The Company anticipates completing a compliant report within 3 to 4 months of the filing of this report, which will cover mineral zones that are adequately assessable for sampling and drilling. As repairs and improvements are made, additional mineral zones will be opened and subsequently drilled and sampled, and the resulting date will be used from time to time to update the N.I. 43-101 report as needed.

Background and Overview


The Company was incorporated for the purpose of engaging in mineral exploration activities.  On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into an Exploration Earn-In Agreement relating to the Trinity Project located in Pershing County, Nevada with the intention, subject to the availability of sufficient funding, of engaging in efforts to develop the Trinity Project.  With the Company’s Management focused on the Bunker Hill Mine, in September 2017, the Company agreed to relinquish its rights to the Trinity Project to Renaissance Exploration, Inc., its project partner, in return for releasing the Company from all past and future obligations.

On August 28, 2017, the Company announced that it signed a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) for the lease and option to purchase of the Bunker Hill Mine (the “Mine”) in Idaho. The “Bunker Hill Lease with Option to Purchase” is between the Company and Placer Mining Corporation (“Placer Mining”), the current owner of the Mine.





Highlights of the LeaseAgreement are as follows:

*

Effective date: November 1, 2017;

*

Initial lease term: 24 months;

*The Company shall pay Placer Mining US$100,000 monthly mining lease payments, which shall be paid quarterly; 

*The lease can be extended for another 12 months at any time by the Company;

*

US $1 millionCompany by paying Placer Mining a US$600,000 bonus payment and by continuing to Placer Mining no later than October 31, 2017;pay the monthly US$100,000 lease payments; 

*

US $100,000 monthly mining lease payments, paid quarterly;

*

The option to purchase is exercisable at the Company’s discretion; and

*

Purchase by the Company can be made at any time during lease period and any extension.extension thereto. 

Management believes thisOn October 2, 2018, the Company announced that it was in default of its Lease with Option to Purchase Agreement with Placer Mining. The default arose as a result of missed lease and option will provideoperating cost payments, totaling $400,000, which were due at the end of September and on October 1, 2018. As per the Agreement, the Company timehad 15 days, from the date notice of default was provided (September 28, 2018), to both produce a mine plan and raiseremediate the money neededdefault by making the outstanding payment. While Management worked with urgency to move forward andresolve this matter, Management was ultimately unsuccessful in remedying the default, resulting in the lease being terminated.

On November 13, 2018, the Company announced that this is a strong signalit was successful in renewing the lease, effectively with the original Agreement intact, except that monthly payments are reduced to $60,000 per month for 12 months, with the accumulated reduction in payments of $140,000 per month (“deferred payments”) added to the market thatpurchase price of the Bunker Hill Mine is back. Management is now ablemine should the Company choose to push forward and advance the time line to realizing shareholder value.exercise its option.

The following discussion and analysis provide information that is believed to be relevant to an assessment and understanding of the results of operation and financial condition of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017,2019, as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.2018. Unless otherwise stated, all figures herein are expressed in U.S. dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.  


Comparison of the fiscal years ended June 30, 20172019 and June 30, 20162018


Revenue

 

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 20172019 and June 30, 2016,2018, the Company generated no revenue.


Expenses

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017,2019, the Company reported total operating expenses of $3,082,303$ 8,113,926 as compared to $2,355,766$ 9,648,434 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016—an increase2018; a decrease of $726,537$ 1,534,508 or approximately 31%.16 %.  

The increasedecrease in total operating expenses is primarily due to the impairmenta decrease in mining interests, partially offset by decreases in: legal and accounting expense, operation and administration expense exploration expense,by $1,530,520 ($1,189,226 in 2019 compared to $2,719,746 in 2018), commensurate with decreased corporate activities this year compared to last year. The same is true for decreases in consulting (decreased by $529,863, $266,998 in 2019 compared to $796,861 in 2018) and consulting expense.

In the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded an impairment in mining interests of $2,550,739 (no impairment recorded for the year ended June 30, 2017).  Due to the lack of funding available to the Company, exploration progress was not on schedule with the Company’s exploration and evaluation plan and, because of these circumstances, it was determined that the related carrying value of the Trinity Project may not be recoverable.  The Company therefore recorded an impairment charge related to the Trinity Project and reduced its carrying amount of the Trinity Project to $1 on the balance sheet for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

In the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a legal and accounting expense recovery of $708,000.  The Company had incurred substantial legal fees during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014costs (decreased by $249,393, $240,969 in connection with SEC and OSC cease trade orders issued in October 2012, which fees were recorded in accounts payable.  The Company submitted a claim for reimbursement from the insurance underwriter pursuant to the terms of its directors’ and officers’ insurance policy.  The insurance underwriter denied coverage of this claim and the Company retained legal counsel, on a contingent fee basis, to challenge, through litigation, the position taken by Liberty International Underwriters Inc., the insurance underwriter.  In connection with the substantial legal fees incurred by the Company with various law firms, the Company entered into an assignment agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with the various law firms that are owed these fees.  Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, the Company irrevocably assigned the net proceeds of the Company’s action against the insurance underwriter to each of the law firms that are owed fees in connection with the SEC and OSC cease trade orders.  Each of the law firms have agreed, pursuant to the terms of the Assignment Agreement, to





fully and finally release the Company from any and all claims, demands of causes of action, in respect of the accounts rendered by the law firms.  As a result of entering into the Assignment Agreement with the various law firms that were owed fees in connection with the SEC and OSC cease trade orders, the Company was able to extinguish approximately $708,000 of liabilities from its balance sheet and record a corresponding legal fees expense recovery in the statements of operations.  Without considering the legal fees expense recovery, the Company incurred approximately $41,834 in other legal and accounting fees related to normal operations during the year ended June 30, 2016,2019 compared to $157,000 during the current year ended June 30, 2017.  Legal fees increased with the arrival of new management$490,362 in fiscal 2017 and the associated focus on acquiring the Bunker Hill Mine.

Operation and administration expense increased by $1,308,051 to $1,726,971 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, compared to an expense of $418,920 reported during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.  When removing stock-based compensation of $1,215,401 and $60,961, respectively, operation and administration expense increased by $153,611 to $511,570 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, compared to an expense of $357,959 reported during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016—an increase of 38% resulting from the Company becoming active once again, hiring consultants and incurring other costs associated with the acquisition on the Bunker Hill Mine and getting listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange.

Some significant highlights were:  

Investor relations and related expenses were $85,522 for the year ended June 30, 2017 and $nil for the previous year.  Expenses related to maintaining a public company increased from $14,674 for the year ended June 30, 2016 to $49,447 for the year ended June 30, 2017—a $37,772 increase.  Insurance expenses decreased from $67,930 to $35,178.  Rent decreased from $67,291 to $13,977.  When deducting stock option benefits, salaries and wages decreased from $185,385 to $73,864.  Travel increased to $118,537 from $771.

Exploration and due diligence expenses increased by $966,084 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, compared to $36,273 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.  With a focus on acquiring the Bunker Hill Mine and successfully completing an equity capital raise, new management immediately devoted time and resources on due diligence and asset development.  The decrease during the 2016 fiscal year was primarily due to the lack of available funding to the Company, and as a result, the plan of exploration and development of the Trinity Project was not on course.2018).

For financial accounting purposes, the Company reports all direct exploration expenses under the exploration expense line item of the statement of operations.  Certain indirect expenses, which are related to the exploration activities, may be reported as operation and administration expense or consulting expense on the statement of operations, or in certain cases, these expenses may also be capitalized to the balance sheet if they relate to costs incurred to acquire mineral properties.  During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company had incurred approximately $150,861 (2016 - $128,690) in exploration related expenditures on the Trinity Project, which were reported under various line items on the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Consulting expense increased to $232,248 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, compared to $16,000 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.  Again, this increase resulted from management’s new focus on the Bunker Hill Mine.

Net Loss and Comprehensive Loss

The Company had a net loss and comprehensive loss of $3,133,662$ 8,442,320 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017,2019, as compared to a net loss and comprehensive loss of $2,497,765$ 5,716,606 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016—a change2018; an increase of $635,897$ 2,725,714 or approximately 25%.48 %.  The increase in net loss and comprehensive loss was due to a decrease in change in derivative liabilities, increase in accretion expense, interest expense and loss on loan extinguishment, offset by net increasedecrease in total operating expenses as outlined above.





Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company does not have sufficient working capital needed to meet its current fiscal obligations when including commitments associated with the acquisition on the Bunker Hill Mine. In order to continue to meet its fiscal obligations in the current fiscal year and beyond the next twelve months, the Company must seek additional financing. Management is considering various financing alternatives, specifically raising capital through the equity markets and debt financing.

On February 9, 2017 and February 17,In December 2017, the Company closed a private placement led by Red Cloud Klondike Strike Inc. and including Haywood Securities Inc. (collectively, the “Agents”) to raise gross proceeds of C$10,155,400 (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 812,432 units (the "Units") at a price of CDN$12.50 per Unit.  Each Unit was comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one half of one transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"), each Warrant having a three-year life and entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$20.00.

On June 13, 2018, the Company entered into a loan and warrant agreement with Hummingbird Resources PLC (“Hummingbird”), an arm’s length investor, for an unsecured promissory notesconvertible loan in the amountsaggregate sum of $40,000 and $60,000 respectively.  The promissory notes bore$1,500,000, bearing interest at a rate of 11%10% per annum, with no specific terms of repayment.  Effective April 5, 2017,maturing in one year. Contemporaneously, the Company repaidagreed to issue 229,464 share purchase warrants, entitling the principal amountlender to acquire 229,464 common shares of $100,000 and accrued interest of $1,513 for both promissory notes.

On October 17, 2014, the Company, amended and restated its agreement in relation to an existing $1,210,000 principal amount secured loan facility (the “Original Loan”) made available by BG Capital Group Ltd. (“BGCG”).at a price of C$8.50 per share, for two years. Under the terms of the revisedloan agreement, BGCG has made available to the Company a committed non-revolving term credit facility in the principal amount of $1,250,000 (the “New Loan”), which bore interest at a rate of 11% per annum and which was secured by a charge on all of the assets of the Company.  The Company repaid the indebtedness to BGCG under the Original Loan by converting the principal amount of the Original Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, being $1,248,654 (the “Debt”), into 6,659,487 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a price of $0.1875 per Common Share, in full satisfaction of the Debt under the Original Loan.

The New Loan consisted of up to $1,250,000 of new credit facilities, of which $25,000 had been advanced to the Company pursuant to a promissory note, which was superseded by the New Loan and became part of the first advance under the New Loan in the aggregate amount of $350,000.  

The key terms of the New Loan were as follows:

·

·

·

the New Loan was secured by a charge on all of the assets of the Company; and

·

BGCG,lender may, at any time up to one business day prior to the Maturity Date, at its sole option, shall be entitled tomaturity, convert any or all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the New Loan advanced to the Company (including all deferred interest), together with all accrued interest, into Common Shares, on the basis of $0.1875 per Common Share.  The conversion rights are subject to the Company having sufficient authorized capital available to satisfy the exercise of the conversion rights from time to time.  To the extent there is not sufficient authorized capital at any time to permit the full exercise of all conversion rights available to BGCG at such time, the Company shall take all reasonable commercial efforts to hold, as expeditiously as possible, a shareholders’ meeting to approve the necessary increase to the authorized capital in order that the conversion rights available to BGCG may be exercised to its fullest extent.

Effective November 30, 2016, the Company reached an agreement with BGCG to amend the terms of the New Loan.  Under the terms of the agreed upon amendments (the “Amendment”), the principal amount of the loan of $1,250,000, as it was under the New Loan, increased to $1,400,000 (the “New Principal Amount”) to include an advance of $150,000 made by BGCG to the Company on November 28, 2016. The New Principal Amount and the accrued interest are convertiblethereon, into common shares of the Company at BGCG’s election.

In the event that a notice of conversion would result in the lender holding 10% or more of the conversion option equity componentCompany’s issued and outstanding shares, then, in the alternative, and under certain circumstances, the Company would be required to pay cash to the lender in an amount equal C$8.50 multiplied by the number of shares intended to be issued upon conversion. Further, in the event that the lender holds more than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company subsequent to the exercise of any of its convertible securities held under this placement, it shall have the right to appoint one director to the board of the Company.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. Bunker Hill Mining Corp. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Bunker Hill Mining Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bunker Hill Mining Corp. as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and has accumulated a significant deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (formerly(Formerly Liberty Silver Corp.)

Amended and Restated Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 20172019 and 20162018


(Expressed in United States Dollars)




Note 1 – 1.Nature and Continuancecontinuance of Operationsoperations and Going Concerngoing concern

Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (formerly Liberty Silver Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada, U.S.A on February 20, 2007 under the name Lincoln Mining Corp.  Pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment dated February 11, 2010, the Company changed its name to Liberty Silver Corp., and on September 29, 2017 the Company changed its name to Bunker Hill Mining Corp.  The Company’s registered office is located at 1802 N. Carson Street, Suite 212, Carson City Nevada 89701, and its head office is located at 401 Bay Street, Suite 2702, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 2Y4, and its telephone number is 888-749-4916.  As of the date of this Form 10-K, the Company had one subsidiary,two subsidiaries, Bunker Hill Operating LLC, a Colorado corporation that is currently dormant, and American Zinc Corp., an Idaho corporation created to facilitate the work being conducted at the Bunker Hill Mine in Idaho.

The Company was incorporated for the purpose of engaging in mineral exploration activities.  It continues to work at developing its projectsproject with a view towards putting themit into production.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $18,390,651$ 32,602,628 (restated) and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business.  The Company does not have sufficient working capital needed to meet its current fiscal obligations and commitments.  In order to continue to meet its fiscal obligations in the current fiscal year and beyond, the Company must seek additional financing.  This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Management is considering various financing alternatives including, but not limited to, raising capital through the capital markets and debt financing.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, explore and develop the mineral properties and the discovery, development, and sale of reserves.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies - continued

d.Mineral rights, property and acquisition costs

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on February 20, 2007 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.  It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.

The Company capitalizes acquisition and option costs of mineral rights as intangible assets.  Upon commencement of commercial production, the mineral rights will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the life of the mineral rights.  If the Company does not continue with exploration after the completion of the feasibility study, the mineral rights will be expensed at that time.

The costs of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon acquisition.  Mine development costs incurred to develop and expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas in advance of production, are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property.  Costs incurred to maintain current exploration or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations.  Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment.  The Company evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property and equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of their recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  Evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 360-10-35,Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.Assets.

e.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 5 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred.  Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense)or gain (expense or loss).

The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of equipment or whether the remaining balance of the eequipmentequipment should be evaluated for possible impairment.  If events and circumstances warrant evaluation, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the equipment in measuring their recoverability.  

f.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  The assets are subject to impairment consideration under FASB ASC 360-10-35,Measurement of an Impairment Loss,, if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable.  When the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the analysis is performed using the rules of FASB ASC 930-360-35,Extractive Activities - Mining,, and 360-10-15-3 through 15-5,Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.Assets.

Various factors could impact the Company’s ability to achieve forecasted production schedules.  Additionally, commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions the Company may use in cash flow models used to assess impairment.  The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined economically.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies - continuedFair value of financial instruments

f. Impairment of long-lived assets - continued

As of June 30, 2016, due to the lack of funding available to the Company, exploration progress at the Trinity Project was not on schedule with the Company’s exploration and evaluation plan.  Consequently, management determined that the related carrying values of the properties may not be recoverable which resulted in an impairment charge of $2,550,739 for the year ended June 30, 2016.  During the year ended June 30, 2017, no impairment charge was incurred.

g.Fair Value of Financial instruments

The Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50,Fair Value Measurements.This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

·

*Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

·

*Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

·

*Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets,accounts payable, accrued liabilities, interest payable, convertible loan payable, and current liabilities,derivative liability, all of which qualify as financial instruments, are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and current market rate of interest.

h.

Environmental expenditures

The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future, be affected from time to time, in varying degrees, by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs.  Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable.  The Company’s policy is to meet, or if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits.  Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.  No costs have been recognized by the Company for environmental expenditures.

i.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 740, Income Taxes ("FASB ASC 740"), on a tax jurisdictional basis.  The Company files income tax returns in the United States.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the consolidated financial statements reported amounts using enacted tax rates and laws in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is determined to be more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company assesses the likelihood of the consolidated financial statements effect of a tax position that should be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the tax position, circumstances, and information available as of the reporting date.  The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in jurisdictions such as the United States.  Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that would result in an asset or liability for taxes being recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The Company recognizes tax-related interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense.

3.Significant accounting policies (continued)

FSAB ASC 740 prescribes recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the consolidated financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in periods, disclosure and transition.  At June 30, 20172019 and June 30, 2016,2018 , the Company has not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740. 

j.

Basic and diluted net loss per share

The Company computes net loss per share of common stock in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”). Under the provisions of FASB ASC 260, basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period.  Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible loan payable.  As of June 30, 2017, 2,291,0002019, 287,100 stock options and 13,046,484 warrants were considered in the calculation but not included, as they were anti-dilutive (June 30, 20162018 - 1,182,667287,100 stock options and 13,333663,496 warrants).  

k. Stock-Based

Stock-based compensation

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.  FASB ASC 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.  FASB ASC 718 requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the consolidated financial statements.  That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

l.

Use of estimates and assumptions

Many of the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements require management to make judgments and/or estimates.  These judgments and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances.  Actual results may differ from the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies - continued

l. Use of estimates and assumptions - continued

Areas of significant judgment and estimates affecting the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include:

Impairment of mining interests

The Company’s fair value measurement with respect to the carrying amount of mining interests is based on numerous assumptions and may differ significantly from actual fair values.  The fair values are based, in part, on certain factors that may be partially or totally outside of the Company’s control.  This evaluation involves a comparison of the estimated recoverable amount of mining interests to their carrying values.  The Company’s fair value estimates are based on numerous assumptions.

Convertible loans and warrants

Estimating the fair value of warrants and conversion feature derivative liability requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the issuance.  This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the warrants and conversion feature derivative liability, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value of warrants and conversion feature derivative liability are disclosed in notes 8 and 9 ..

The fair value estimates may differ from actual fair values and these differences may be significant and could have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheets and the consolidated statements of operations.  Assets are reviewed for an indication of impairment at each reporting date.  This determination requires significant judgment. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant negative industry or economic trends, interruptions in exploration activities or a significant drop in precious metal prices.prices

3.Significant accounting policies (continued)

Concentrations of credit risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness.  At times, its cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits.  The Company’s management also routinely assesses the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.

n.

Risks and uncertainties

The Company operates in the mineralized material exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, and other risks associated with operating a mineralized material exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.  

o.

Foreign currency transactions

The Company from time to time will receive invoices from service providers that are presenting their invoices using the Canadian dollar.  The Company will use its US dollars to settle the Canadian dollar liabilities and any differences resulting from the exchange transaction are reported as gain or loss on foreign exchange.  The gain or loss reported by the Company in the consolidated financial statements represents transaction gain or loss.

p.

Segment reporting

FASB ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company does not have any reportable segments.



Convertible loan payable



The Company reviews the terms of its convertible loans payable to determine whether there are embedded derivatives, including the embedded conversion option, that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for as individual derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the convertible debt contains embedded derivatives that are to be separated from the host contracts, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of the derivative financial instruments determined using the binomial model. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the debenture cost contracts, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their principal amount. This discount is accreted over the expected life of the instruments to profit (loss) using the effective interest method.




The debenture host contracts are subsequently recorded at amortized cost at each reporting date, using the effective interest method. The embedded derivatives are subsequently recorded at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in profit (loss).

The Company presents its embedded derivatives and related debenture host contracts as separate instruments on the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 3 – 4. New and Recently Adopted Technicalrecently adopted technical and Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard on going concern, ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Sub-Topic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” The standard provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is a substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. They become effective in the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The Company has adopted this ASU No. 2014-15 as at and for the year ended June 30, 2017. There was no material effect on the consolidated financial position or the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive loss.pronouncements

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as noncurrent based on an analysis of each taxpaying component within a jurisdiction. ASU No. 2015-17 is effective for the fiscal year commencing after December 15, 2017. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU No. 2015-17 willdid not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or the consolidated results of operations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. This ASU provides eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the fiscal year commencing after December 15, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This update requires organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The new guidance will also require additional disclosure about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The provisions of this update are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is still assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations.

5. Restatement of previously issued financial statements

In March 2016,November 2020, it was determined that the FASBCompany has underaccrued for invoices issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvementsby the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") for excess water treatment costs relating to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. Several aspectsyears ended June 30, 2018, 2019 and 2020 and interest payable on the outstanding EPA balance, which resulted in an understatement of liabilities for 2018 and 2019, an understatement of opening deficit for 2019 and closing deficit for 2018 and 2019, and an understatement of exploration expenses and net losses for 2018 and 2019.

The following tables present the impact of the accounting for share-based payment award transaction are simplified, including (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classificationrestatement adjustments on the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is still assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have on theCompany's previously issued consolidated financial positionstatements for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2019.

Note 4 – Mining Interests - continued

Thethe Company made certain payments totaling $300,000 as part of this Letter of Intent. These amounts were initially capitalized and subsequently written off during fiscal 2018 and are included in exploration expenses.

On August 28, 2017, the Company announced that it signed a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) for the lease and option to purchase the Bunker Hill Mine assets (the “Bunker Assets”) (note 8).

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company iswas required to make a US$1$1 million bonus payment to Placer Mining no later than October 31, 2017, which payment was made, along with two additional $500,000 bonus payments in December 2017.  The 24-month lease commences November 1, 2017 and continues until October 31, 2019.  The lease period can be extended by a further 12 months at the Company’s discretion.  During the term of the lease, the Company must make $100,000 monthly mining lease payments, paid quarterly.

The Company has an option to purchase the Bunker Assets at any time before the end of the lease and any extension for a purchase price of $45 million with purchase payments to be made over a ten-year period to Placer Mining. Under terms of the agreement, there is a 3% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on sales during the Lease and a 1.5% NSR on the sales after the purchase option is exercised, which post-acquisition NSR is capped at $60 million.


Trinity Project27


The Company acquired its interest in the Trinity Project through an Exploration Earn-In Agreement.  On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into the Earn-In Agreement relating to the Trinity Project with AuEx, Inc., a Nevada company beneficially owned by another Nevada company AuEx Ventures, Inc.  AuEx, Inc. held an exclusive interest in the Trinity Project by way of a Minerals Lease and Sublease with Newmont Mining USA Limited, a Delaware corporation who owns or leases the various unpatented mining claims and portions of private land comprising the Trinity Project.  As part of a restructuring transaction by AuEx Ventures, Inc., another Nevada company, Renaissance Exploration Inc. (“Renaissance”) was spun out, and on July 1, 2010 AuEx, Inc. assigned all of its interest in the Trinity Project and the Earn-In Agreement to Renaissance, who currently holds a 100% leasehold interest in the Trinity Project.  The Minerals Lease and Sublease grants to Newmont, a right of first offer on any transfer of AuEx, Inc.’s interests in the Trinity Project to any non-affiliate of AuEx, Inc., and also gives Newmont a right to either enter into a joint venture agreement covering the Trinity Project and any other real property interests that AuEx, Inc. holds or acquires within the Trinity Project, or receive a royalty on all mineral production from such properties.  Currently the rights to the Trinity Project are held 100% by Renaissance, pursuant to an assignment of such rights from AuEx, Inc.  The Company entered into the Earn-In Agreement providing the Company with a right to earn a 70% undivided interest in rights of Renaissance in the Trinity Project (the “70% Interest”).

Under the Earn-In Agreement, the Company may earn-in the 70% Interest in the Trinity Project during a 6-year period in consideration of (1) a signing payment of $25,000, which has been made, (2) an expenditure of a cumulative total of $5,000,000 in exploration and development expenses on the Trinity Project by March 29, 2016, including a minimum of $500,000 which must be expended within one year from the effective date of the Agreement, and (3) completion of a bankable feasibility study on the Trinity Project on or before the 7th anniversary date of the Agreement.  Item (1) has been completed by the Company, and the Company has satisfied item (2), and has reported its compliance as of March 29, 2013, which is the end of the third year from the inception of the Earn-in Agreement.

On October 15, 2012,2, 2018, the Company entered into and closed aannounced that it was in default of its Lease with Option to Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Primus Resources, L.C. (“Primus”)Placer Mining. The default arose as a result of missed lease and James A. Freeman (collectively “Seller”) to acquire unpatented mining claims, Nevada BLM Serial No. 799907, 799908, 799909, 799910,operating cost payments, totaling $400,000, which were due at the end of September and 799911 covering approximately 100 acres of property located adjacent toon October 1, 2018. As per the former Trinity Silver mine on the Company’s Trinity Project (the “Hi Ho Properties”).  The Hi Ho Properties were previously the only acreage not controlled by the Company or its joint venture partner Renaissance Exploration Inc. in the Trinity Project.  Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company had 15 days, from the date notice of default was provided cash consideration(September 28, 2018), to remediate the default by making the outstanding payment. While Management worked with urgency to resolve this matter, Management was ultimately unsuccessful in remedying the default, resulting in the lease being terminated.

On November 13, 2018, the Company announced that it was successful in renewing the lease, effectively with the original Agreement intact, except that monthly payments are reduced to $60,000 per month for 12 months, with the accumulated reduction in payments of $250,000 and issued 2,583,333 restricted shares of common stock$140,000 per month (“deferred payments”) added to the purchase price of the Company to the Seller.  On March 1, 2013,mine should the Company issued an additional 277,778 of the Company’s common shareschoose to Primus, pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement.

Note 6 – Convertible Loan Payable - continued

The key terms of the New Loan were as follows:

·

the principal amount of the New Loan obtained from BGCG on October 15, 2014 of $1,250,000, which has been fully utilized;

·

the outstanding principal amount bore interest at 11% per annum from date of advance and became due and payable in its entirety one year following the closing date of the New Loan (the “Maturity Date”).  The Company exercised its option to extend the Maturity Date by six months, with interest payable at 15% per annum accruing on the outstanding principal amount during such extension period;

·

the New Loan was secured by a charge on all of the assets of the Company; and

·

BGCG, at any time up to one business day prior to the Maturity Date, at its sole option, shall be entitled to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the New Loan advanced to the Company (including all deferred interest), together with all accrued interest, into Common Shares, on the basis of $0.1875 per Common Share.  The conversion rights are subject to the Company having sufficient authorized capital available to satisfy the exercise of the conversion rights from time to time.  To the extent there is not sufficient authorized capital at any time to permit the full exercise of all conversion rights available to BGCG at such time, the Company shall take all reasonable commercial efforts to hold, as expeditiously as possible, a shareholders’ meeting to approve the necessary increase to the authorized capital in order that the conversion rights available to BGCG may be exercised to its fullest extent.

The carrying value of the conversion option equity component of the convertible loan was determined to be $nil and the carrying value of the liability component was $1,400,000.  The effective interest rate on the liability component of the convertible loan was 11% for the period ending October 15, 2015 and 15% per annum during the extended period beginning October 15, 2015.

The lender pursuant to the amended New Loan is BGCG.  Immediately following the closing date, BGCG and certain of its related parties owned, directly and indirectly, 8,657,417 Common Shares, which represented approximately 70.1% of the Company’s 12,353,972 issued and outstanding Common Shares on the closing date of the New Loan.  Other than pursuant to the New Loan, the Company does not have any contractual or other relationship with BGCG.

As at April 15, 2016, the Second Maturity Date, the Company had not repaid the loan and BGCG had not called the loan nor converted any portion of the outstanding balance into common shares.  In accordance with the default provision of the agreement, the loan was repayable on demand and from April 15, 2016, accrued interest until such time as the loan was repaid or converted into common shares.

Effective November 30, 2016, the Company reached an agreement with BGCG to amend the terms of the New Loan.  Under the terms of the agreed upon amendments (the “Amendment”), the principal amount of the loan of $1,250,000, as it was under the New Loan, increased to $1,400,000 (the “New Principal Amount”) to include an advance of $150,000 made by BGCG to the Company on November 28, 2016. The New Principal Amount and the accrued interest were convertible into common shares of the Company at BGCG’s election.

Effective January 20, 2017, BGCG elected to convert the entire indebtedness under the New Loan Agreement, as amended by the Amendments (the “Indebtedness”) into common shares of the Company (“Shares”) pursuant to the terms of the New Loan (the “Loan Conversion”).  The Company approved the Loan Conversion and the issuance thereunder of Shares to BGCG and parties named thereby as assignees of portion of the Indebtedness.  Under the terms of the Loan Conversion, the Indebtedness, being $1,685,810 converted into 8,990,986 Shares at the conversion price of $0.1875 per Share.

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies

Effective June 1, 2017, the Company has a lease agreement for office space at 401 Bay Street, Suite 2702, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 2Y4.  The 5-year lease provides for a monthly base rent of CDN$12,964 for the first two years, increasing to CDN$13,504 per month for years three through five.  The Company has signed sub-leases with other companies that cover 78% of the monthly lease amount.

Effective November 1, 2017, the Company signed an Agreement for the lease and option to purchase of the Bunker Hill Mine (the “Mine”) in Idaho. The “Bunker Hill Lease with Option to Purchase” is between the Company and Placer Mining Corporation (“Placer Mining”), the current owner of the Mine.

Payments during the Lease are as follows:

*

$1 million bonus payment to Placer Mining no later than October 31, 2017

*

$100,000 monthly mining lease payments, paid quarterly

The 24-month lease commences November 1, 2017 and continues until October 31, 2019, and contains an option to purchase the Mine on defined payment terms.  The Lease period can be extended by a further 12 months at the Company’s discretion.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will have the right to purchase the Mine at any time before the end of the lease and any extension for a purchase price of US $45 million with purchase payments to be made over a ten-year period to Placer Mining. Under terms of the agreement, there is a 3% NSR on production during the Lease and a 1.5% NSR on the production after the purchase option is exercised, which post-acquisition NSR is capped at US $60 million.

The Company had incurred substantial legal fees in prior fiscal years in connection with SEC and OSC cease trade orders issued in October 2012, and until March 31, 2016, those fees were being reported in accounts payable in the prior years.  As the legal fees were incurred, the Company submitted a claim for reimbursement from the insurance underwriter pursuant to the terms of its directors’ and officers’ insurance policy.  The insurance underwriter denied coverage of this claim and the Company has since retained legal counsel, on a contingent fee basis, and is challenging the position taken by Liberty International Underwriters Inc., the insurance underwriter, through litigation.  In connection with the substantial legal fees incurred by the Company with various law firms, the Company has entered into an assignment agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with the various law firms that are owed these fees.  Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, the Company has irrevocably assigned the net proceeds of the Company’s action against the insurance underwriter to each of the law firms that are owed fees in connection with the SEC and OSC cease trade orders.  Each of the law firms have agreed, pursuant to the terms of the Assignment Agreement, to fully and finally release the Company from any and all claims, demands of causes of action, in respect of the accounts rendered by the law firms.  As a result of entering into the Assignment Agreement with the various law firms that were owed fees in connection with the SEC and OSC cease trade orders, the Company was able to extinguish approximately $708,000 of liabilities from its balance sheet and record a corresponding legal fees expense recovery in the statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2016.  Without considering the legal fees expense recovery, the Company incurred approximately $41,834 in other legal fees related to normal operations for the year ended June 30, 2016.

Additionally, in the normal course of operations, certain other contingencies may arise relating to legal actions undertaken against the Company. In the opinion of management, whether the impact of such potential legal actions would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity, or its financial position, cannot be determined in advance.

8.Convertible loan payable

On June 13, 2018, the Company entered into a loan and warrant agreement with Hummingbird Resources PLC (“Hummingbird”), an arm’s length investor, for an unsecured convertible loan in the aggregate sum of $1,500,000, bearing interest at 10% per annum, maturing in one year. Contemporaneously, the Company agreed to issue 229,464 share purchase warrants, entitling the lender to acquire 229,464 common shares of the Company, at a price of C$8.50 per share, for two years.

Under the terms of the loan agreement, the lender may, at any time prior to maturity, convert any or all of the principal amount of the loan and accrued interest thereon, into common shares of the Company at a price per share equal to C$8.50. In the event that a notice of conversion would result in the lender holding 10% or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, then, in the alternative, and under certain circumstances, the Company would be required to pay cash to the lender in an amount equal C$8.50 multiplied by the number of shares intended to be issued upon conversion. Further, in the event that the lender holds more than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company subsequent to the exercise of any of its convertible securities held under this placement, it shall have the right to appoint one director to the board of the Company. Lastly, among other things, the loan agreement further provides that for as long as any amount is outstanding under the convertible loan, the investor retains a right of first refusal on any Company financing or joint venture/strategic partnership/disposal of assets.  

In August 2018, the amount of the Hummingbird convertible loan payable was increased to $2 million from its original $1.5 million loan, net of $45,824 of debt issue costs, of which $25,750 was incurred in the current period.  Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, Hummingbird may, at any time prior to maturity, convert any or all of the principal amount of the loan and accrued interest thereon, into common shares of Bunker as follows: (i) $1,500,000, being the original principal amount (“Principal Amount”), the Principal Amount may be converted at a price per share equal to C$8.50; (ii) 229,464 common shares may be acquired upon exercise of warrants at a price of C$8.50 per warrant for a period of two years from the date of issuance; (iii) $500,000, being the additional principal amount (“Additional Amount”), the Additional Amount may be converted at a price per share equal to C$4.50; and (iv) 116,714 common shares may be acquired upon exercise of warrants at a price of C$4.50 per warrant for a period of two years from the date issuance. In the event that Hummingbird would acquire common shares in excess of 9.999% through the conversion of the Principal Amount or Additional Amount, including interest accruing thereon, or on exercise of the warrants as disclosed herein, the Company shall pay to Hummingbird a cash amount equal to the common shares exercised in excess of 9.999%, multiplied by the conversion price.

In March 2019, Hummingbird agreed to extend the scheduled maturity date of the loan to June 30, 2020. This was accounted for as a loan extinguishment which resulted in the recording of a net loss on loan extinguishment of $1,195,880.

In June 2019, the Company repaid $100,000 of the Additional Amount, which resulted in the recording of a net loss on loan extinguishment of $8,193.

The Company has accounted for the conversion features and warrants in accordance with ASC Topic 815. The conversion features and warrants are considered derivative financial liabilities as they are convertible into common shares at a conversion price denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency of the US dollar. The estimated fair value of the conversion features and warrants was determined on the date of issuance and marks to market at each financial reporting period.

*10,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $ 0.000001 per preferred share  

On May 23, 2019, the Company affected a consolidation of its issued and outstanding share capital on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation share for each ten (10) pre-consolidation common shares, which has been retrospectively applied in these financial statements.

On July 19, 2019, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change the total authorized capital and the par values which have been retrospectively applied in these amended and restated consolidated financial statements.

Issued and outstanding

In December 2017, the Company closed a private placement led by Red Cloud Klondike Strike Inc. and including Haywood Securities Inc. (collectively, the “Agents”) to raise gross proceeds of C$10,155,400 (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 812,432 units (the "Units") at a price of CDN$12.50 per Unit.  Each Unit was comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one half of one transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"), each Warrant having a three-year life and entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$20.00.

In August 2018, the Company closed a private placement, issuing 160,408 Units to Gemstone 102 Ltd. (“Gemstone”) at a price of C$4.50 per Unit, for gross proceeds of C$721,834 ($549,333) and incurring financing costs of $25,750. Each Unit entitles Gemstone to acquire one common share (“Unit Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (“Unit Warrant”), with each Unit Warrant entitling Gemstone to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of C$4.50 for a period of three years. Prior to the issuance of the Units, Gemstone held 400,000 common shares of the Company and 200,000 warrants (“Prior Warrants”) exercisable at a price of C$20.00 per share. Immediately prior to closing, the Prior Warrants were early terminated by mutual agreement of the Company and Gemstone. Upon issuance of the 160,408 Units to Gemstone, Gemstone beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over 560,408 common shares of the Company. Assuming exercise of the Unit Warrants, Gemstone would hold 720,816 of the outstanding common shares of the Company. Gemstone’s participation in the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").

Given the urgent need to secure financing to meet the new lease obligations, Bunker’s Board approved an equity private placement of Units to be sold at C$0.75 per Unit with each Unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant.  On November 28, 2018, the Company closed on a total of 645,866 Units for gross proceeds of C$484,400 ($365,341) and incurring financing costs of $10,062, with each purchase warrant exercisable into a Common Share at C$1.00 per Common Share for a period of thirty-six months.  

On June 27, 2019, the Company closed the first tranche ("First Tranche") of a non-brokered private placement, issuing 11,660,000 units ("June 2019 Unit") at a price of C$0.05 per June 2019 Unit for gross proceeds of C$583,000 ($436,608) and incurring financing costs of $19,640.  Each June 2019 Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant ("June 2019 Warrant"). Each whole June 2019 Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of C$0.25 per common share for a period of two years. As a part of the First Tranche, Hummingbird Resources PLC ("Hummingbird") has acquired 2,660,000 June 2019 Units for C$133,000 ($100,000) which was applied to reduction of the principal amount owing under the convertible loan facility (see note 8) ..

For each financing, the Company has accounted for the warrant liability in accordance with ASC Topic 815. The warrants are considered derivative instruments as they were issued in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency of the US dollar. The estimated fair value of warrants accounted for as liabilities was determined on the date of issue and marks to market at each financial reporting period. The change in fair value of the warrant is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as a gain or loss and is estimated using the Binomial model.

The fair value of the warrant liabilities related to the various tranches of warrants issued during the year were estimated using the Binomial model to determine the fair value using the following assumptions on the day of issuance and as at June 30, 2019:

ITEM 9.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Effective September 2, 2014, the Company appointed the firm of MNP, LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, as the Company’s principal independent accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements.  The Company has had no disagreements with its accountants, that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation S-K.


ITEM 9A.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company's controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, and the restatement of previously filed financial statements, the Company carried outmade an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, theChief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures  are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achievingover financial reporting for the objectives of timely alerting themalert to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC reports and of ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified. This evaluation resulted in the identification of significant deficiencies that led to the restatement of its previously filed financial statements. Based on the context in which the individual deficiencies occurred and the resulting restatement of its previously filed financial statements, management has concluded that these significant deficiencies, in combination, represent a material weakness.  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer also concluded that updates to the disclosure controls and procedures were effective asshould be made to improve the effectiveness of the end of the period covered by this reportcontrols and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of the achievementassurance of these objectives.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and related financial information appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The financial statements and notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The management of the Company also is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  A company's internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.





Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud.  Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Further, over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving


42



its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as ofJuneof June 30, 20172019 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2017,significant deficiencies exist over the Company’s internal control over financial reporting were effective atthat led to the reasonable assurance level.restatement of its previously filed financial statements, as follows:

The Company continues to develop documentation of internal control policies and procedures.  Management intends to constantly reassess its business and progressively implement and change written policies and procedures.  However, even with all of the internal controls and procedures fully implemented, there may continue to be some weaknesses in the system.

ŸThe Company does not have an ideal amount of segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control.  Due to the Company’s size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions are performed by separate individuals.  Based on the current magnitude of the Company’s operations, it is impractical to employ sufficient staff to fully address the separation of duties issue.  As the Company’s business plan is implemented and additional staff is required, Managementadded, including a new Chief Financial Officer, management will be able to address this identified weakness.   

Ÿ On December 1, 2017, a Consent Decree with the Company and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) was put in place.   From December 1, 2017, the Company is to pay EPA semi-annual payments for the treatment of water discharged from the Bunker Hill Mine.  In addition, annually, EPA is to send written notification to Bunker to reconcile costs paid with actual costs incurred.  As part of this reconciliation process, the Consent Decree has dispute resolution procedures.  As a result of these dispute resolution procedures, both parties have the right to reconcile and dispute the calculation of the actual costs incurred and can informally resolve any disagreements.  The Company received the annual invoices from the EPA for the period from December 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 and having requested and subsequently received supporting detail from the EPA began, in late September 2020, the process of reconciling and reviewing these complete invoices.  Following this examination, the Company, supported by its technical advisors, is to start a formal process to dispute these invoices. The Company’s current management team is the first to receive a complete invoice from the EPA and will be the first to start the process of dispute and cost recovery.   However, the Company did not address accounting for these invoices in a timely manner.    

Ÿ As a result, in November 2020, it was determined that the Company had under accrued for invoices issued by the EPA for excess water treatment costs relating to years ended June 30, 2018, 2019 and 2020 and interest payable on the outstanding EPA balance, which resulted in an understatement of liabilities for 2018 and 2019, an understatement of opening deficit for 2019 and closing deficit for 2018 and 2019, and an understatement of exploration expenses and net losses for 2018 and 2019.  

Based on the context in which the individual deficiencies occurred and the resulting restatement of its previously filed financial statements, management has concluded that these significant deficiencies, in combination, represent a material weakness.

Mitigating these potential weaknesses,significant deficiencies, however, is that, commencing in 2020, the Company has a new management team and new members of the Board of Directors, including a new Chair of the Audit Committee, which are focused on transitioning the Company to a new management approach, modern thinking, new systems and practices, modern approaches to engagement and a system of internal controls and procedures.  Management’s daily involvement in the business provides it with more than adequate knowledge to identify the areas of financial reporting risks and related controls.  In addition, the procedures followed are integrated within the daily responsibilities of the Company’s employees, allowing Managementmanagement to rely on their own intimate knowledge and supervision of controls.  Furthermore,As the Company’s financial statements are reviewed each quarter by its auditors in additionbusiness plan is implemented and additional staff is added, including a new Chief Financial Officer, management will be able to the audit of its financial statements at year end. This provides the Company with another level of assurance that disclosures are adequate that that the Company’s disclosures are accurate and complete.address these significant deficiencies.

Management also plans to engage a third-party firm to assist in developing Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.  The Company intends to remedy any weaknessesthese significant deficiencies dependent on having the financial resources available to complete them.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report is not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm.

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Equity Compensation Plan Information


On April 19, 2011, subject to shareholder approval, which was obtained at the Company’s annual and special meetings of shareholders held on December 21, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of the Liberty Silver Corp. Incentive Share Plan (the “Plan”) under which common shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for purposes of possible future issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and stock grants to employees, directors and certain key individuals. Under the Plan, the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance shall not exceed 10% of the common shares of the Company outstanding from time to time. The purpose of the Plan shall be to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging equity participation in the Company through the acquisition of common shares of the Company. In order to maintain flexibility in the award of stock benefits, the Plan constitutes a single plan, but is composed of two parts. The first part is the Share Option Plan which provides grants of both incentive stock options under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and nonqualified stock options. The second part is the Share Bonus Plan which provides grants of shares of Company common stock. The following is intended to be a summary of some of the material terms of the Plan, and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety, by the full text of the Plan.

The Plan

The Plan is a rolling plan, under which the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Share Option Plan, together with the Share Bonus Plan, shall not exceed 10% of the Shares outstanding (on a non-diluted basis) at any given time. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Corporation by (i) providing certain employees, senior officers, directors, or consultants of the Corporation (collectively, the “Optionees”) with additional performance incentives; (ii) encouraging Share ownership by the Optionees; (iii) increasing the proprietary interest of the Optionees in the success of the Corporation; (iv) encouraging the Optionees to remain with the Corporation; and (v) attracting new employees, officers, directors and consultants to the Corporation.

Share Option Plan

The following information is intended to be a brief description and summary of the material features of the Share Option Plan:

(a)

The aggregate maximum number of Shares available for issuance from treasury under the Share Option Plan, together with the Share Bonus Plan, at any given time is 10% of the outstanding Shares as at the date of grant of an option under the Plan, subject to adjustment or increase of such number pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Any Shares subject to an option which has been granted under the Share Option Plan and which has been surrendered, terminated, or expired without being exercised, in whole or in part, will again be available under the Plan.

(b)

The exercise price of an option shall be determined by the Board at the time each option is granted, provided that such price shall not be less than the closing price of the Shares on the principal stock exchange(s) upon which the Shares are listed and posted for trading on the trading day immediately preceding the day of the grant of the option.

(c)

Options granted to persons conducting Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the Plan) for the Corporation must vest in stages over twelve months with no more than ¼ of the options vesting in any three-month period.

(d)

In the event an Optionee ceases to be eligible for the grant of options under the Share Option Plan, options previously granted to such person will cease to be exercisable within a period of 12 months following the date such person ceases to be eligible under the Plan.

(e)

In the event that a take-over bid or issuer bid is made for all or any of the issued and outstanding Shares, then the Board may, by resolution, permit all options outstanding to become immediately exercisable in order to permit Shares issuable under such options to be tendered to such bid.





Share Bonus Plan

The following information is intended to be a brief description and summary of the material features of the Share Bonus Plan:

(a)

Participants in the Share Bonus Plan shall be directors, officers, employees, or consultants of the Corporation who, by the nature of their positions are, in the opinion of the Board and upon the recommendation of the President of the Corporation, in a position to contribute to the success of the Corporation.

(b)

The determination regarding the amount of bonus Shares issued pursuant to the Share Bonus Plan will take into consideration the Optionee’s present and potential contribution to the success of the Corporation and shall be determined from time to time by the Board. However, in no event shall the number of bonus Shares pursuant to the Share Bonus Plan, together with the Share Option Plan, exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares in the aggregate.


47



General Features of the Plan

In addition to the above summaries of the Share Option Plan and the Share Bonus Plan, the following is intended to be a brief description and summary of some of the general features of the Plan:

(a)

The aggregate number of Shares reserved pursuant to the Plan for issuance to insiders of the Corporation within any twelve-month period, under all security basedsecurity-based compensation arrangements of the Corporation, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares then outstanding.

(b)

The aggregate number of Share reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan to any one person in any twelve-month period shall not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares outstanding from time to time, unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained pursuant to the policies of the Corporation’s principal stock exchange(s) upon which the Shares are listed and posted for trading or any stock exchange or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the securities of the Corporation. No more than 2% of the outstanding Shares may be granted to any one Consultant (as defined in the Plan) in any twelve-month period, or to persons conducting Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the Plan) in any twelve-month period.

Director Compensation

The general policy of the Board is that compensation for independent directors should be a fair mix between cash and equity-based compensation. Additionally, the Company reimburses directors for reasonable expenses incurred during the course of their performance. There are no long-term incentive or medical reimbursement plans. The Company does not pay directors, who are part of management, for Board service in addition to their regular employee compensation. The Board determines the amount of director compensation. The board may appoint a compensation committee to take on this role. The following table provides a summary of compensation paid to directors during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

(“BGCG”).  Under the terms of the revised agreement, BGCG has made available to the Company a committed non-revolving term credit facility in the principal amount of $1,250,000 (the “New Loan”), which bore interest at a rate of 11% per annum and which was secured by a charge on all of the assets of the Company.  The Company repaid the indebtedness to BGCG under the Original Loan by converting the principal amount of the Original Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, being $1,248,654 (the “Debt”), into 6,659,487 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a price of $0.1875 per Common Share, in full satisfaction of the Debt under the Original Loan.

The New Loan consisted of up to $1,250,000 of new credit facilities, of which $25,000 had been advanced to the Company pursuant to a promissory note, which was superseded by the New Loan and became part of the first advance under the New Loan in the aggregate amount of $350,000.  

The key terms of the New Loan were as follows:

·

the principal amount of the New Loan of $1,250,000 has been fully utilized;

·

the outstanding principal amount boar interest at 11% per annum from date of advance and became due and payable in its entirety one year following the closing date of the New Loan (the “Maturity Date”).  The Company exercised its option to extend the Maturity Date by six months, with interest payable at 15% per annum accruing on the outstanding principal amount during such extension period;

·

the New Loan was secured by a charge on all of the assets of the Company; and

·

BGCG, at any time up to one business day prior to the Maturity Date, at its sole option, shall be entitled to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the New Loan advanced to the Company (including all deferred interest), together with all accrued interest, into Common Shares, on the basis of $0.1875 per Common Share.  The conversion rights are subject to the Company having sufficient authorized capital available to satisfy the exercise of the conversion rights from time to time.  To the extent there is not sufficient authorized capital at any time to permit the full exercise of all conversion rights available to BGCG at such time, the Company shall take all reasonable commercial efforts to hold, as expeditiously as possible, a shareholders’ meeting to approve the necessary increase to the authorized capital in order that the conversion rights available to BGCG may be exercised to its fullest extent.

Effective November 30, 2016, the Company reached an agreement with BGCG to amend the terms of the New Loan.  Under the terms of the agreed upon amendments (the “Amendment”), the principal amount of the loan of $1,250,000, as it was under the New Loan, increased to $1,400,000 (the “New Principal Amount”) to include an advance of $150,000 made by BGCG to the Company on November 28, 2016. The New Principal Amount and the accrued interest are convertible into common shares of the Company at BGCG’s election.

The carrying value of the conversion option equity component of the convertible loan was determined to be $nil and the carrying value of the liability component was $1,400,000.  The effective interest rate on the liability component of the convertible loan was 11% for the period ending October 15, 2015 and 15% per annum during the extended period beginning October 15, 2015.

The lender pursuant to the amended New Loan is BGCG.  Immediately following the closing date, BGCG and certain of its related parties owned, directly and indirectly, 8,657,417 Common Shares, which represented approximately 70.1% of the Company’s 12,353,972 issued and outstanding Common Shares on the closing date of the New Loan.  Other than pursuant to the New Loan, the Company does not have any contractual or other relationship with BGCG.





As at April 15, 2016, the Maturity Date, the Company had not repaid the loan and BGCG had not called the loan nor converted any portion of the outstanding balance into common shares.  In accordance with the default provision of the agreement, the loan was repayable on demand and from April 15, 2016, accrued interest until such time as the loan was repaid or converted into common shares.

Effective January 20, 2017, BGCG elected to convert the entire indebtedness under the New Loan Agreement, as amended by the Amendments (the “Indebtedness”) into common shares of the Company (“Shares”) pursuant to the terms of the New Loan (the “Loan Conversion”).  The Company approved the Loan Conversion and the issuance thereunder of Shares to BGCG and parties named thereby as assignees of portion of the Indebtedness.  Under the terms of the Loan Conversion, the Indebtedness, being $1,685,810 converted into 8,990,986 Shares at the deemed price of $0.1875 per Share.

The 8,990,986 Shares issuable under the terms of the Loan Conversion were to be issued to BGCG; however, 4,500,000 Shares were distributed directly to third parties at the request of BGCG, and 4,490,986 Shares were issued to BGCG. Prior to the Loan Conversion BGCG directly or indirectly held 8,817,419 of the Shares, representing approximately 71.37% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares at that time. Following the issuance of Shares in connection with the Loan Conversion, BGCG held 13,308,405 Shares representing approximately 62.35% of 21,345,483 Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately following the completion of the Loan Conversion.

Aside from the foregoing, thereThere were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, during the Company’s last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which the Company was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the small business issuer’s total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years and in which any director, executive officer or any security holder who is known to the Company to own of record or beneficially more than five percent of any class of the Company’s common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had an interest.


Director Independence

The Company’s common stock is currently traded on the Canadian Stock Exchange, under the symbol LSL,BNKR, and on the Grey Market in the United States, and as such, is not subject to the rules of any national securities exchange which requires that a majority of a listed company’s directors and specified committees of its board of directors meet independence standards prescribed by such rules. For the purpose of preparing the disclosures in this document with respect to director independence, the Company has used the definition of “independent director” within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees adopted by the Canadian Securities Administration and as set forth in the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ, which defines an “independent director” generally as being a person, other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Ms. Jennifer Boyle and Mr. Harold Shipes resigned as directors on September 19 and September 27, 2018, respectively. Messrs. John Ryan isand, Dickson Hall are currently the only “independent” directordirectors of the Company.
