Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

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

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2017




Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, shareholders’ equity or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the year ended June 30, 2017. The interim results for the period ended December 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the functional currency.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $21,837,898 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. 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. In order to continue to meet its plans and fiscal obligations in the current fiscal year and beyond, the Company must seek additional financing. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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 interim condensed 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.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

10

The non-binding term sheet with SRSR outlined a $50,000,000 project financing package that the Company expected to fulfill the majority of its funding requirements to restart the Mine. The term sheet consisted of an $8,000,000 royalty convertible debenture (the “RCD”), a $5,000,000 convertible debenture (the “CD1”), and a multi-metals stream of up to $37,000,000 (the “Stream”). PursuantThe CD1 was subsequently increased to $6,000,000, increasing the project financing package to $51,000,000.

On June 17, 2022, the Company consummated a new $15,000,000 convertible debenture (the “CD2”). As a result, total potential funding from SRSR was further increased to $66,000,000 including the RCD, CD1, CD2 and the Stream (together, the “Project Financing Package”).

On June 23, 2023, the Company closed the upsized and improved $67,000,000 project finance package with SRSR, consisting of a $46,000,000 stream and a $21,000,000 new debt facility. The newly proposed $46,000,000 stream (the “Stream”) was envisaged to have the same economic terms as the previously proposed $37,000,000 stream, with a $9,000,000 increase in gross proceeds received by the Company, resulting in a lower cost of capital for the Company. The Company also announced a new $21,000,000 new debt facility (the “Debt Facility”), available for draw at the Company’s election for two years. As a result, total funding commitments from SRSR was envisaged to increase to $96,000,000 including the RCD, CD1, CD2, Stream and debt facility (together, the “Project Financing Package”). The Bridge Loan, as previously envisaged, was to be repaid from the proceeds of the Stream. The parties also agreed to extend the maturities of the CD1 and CD2 to March 31, 2026, when the full $6 million and $15 million, respectively, will become due.

$8,000,000 Royalty Convertible Debenture

The Company closed the $8,000,000 RCD on January 7, 2022.

In the event of conversion, the RCD will cease to exist, and the Company will grant a royalty for 1.85% of life-of-mine gross revenue from mining claims considered to be historically worked, contiguous to current accessible underground development, and covered by the Company’s 2021 ground geophysical survey (the “SRSR Royalty”). A 1.35% rate will apply to claims outside of these areas. The RCD was initially secured by a share pledge of the Company’s operating subsidiary, Silver Valley, until a full security package was put in place concurrent with the consummation of the CD1. In the event of non-conversion, the principal of the RCD will be repayable in cash.

Concurrent with the funding of the CD2 in June 2022, the Company and SRSR agreed to a number of amendments to the terms and conditions of the LetterRCD, including an amendment of Intent, the acquisition,maturity date from July 7, 2023 to March 31, 2025. The parties also agreed to enter a Royalty Put Option such that in the event the RCD is converted into a royalty as described above, the holder of the royalty will be entitled to resell the royalty to the Company for $8,000,000 upon default under the CD1 or CD2 until such time that the CD1 and CD2 are paid in full. The Company determined that the amendments in the terms of the RCD should not be treated as an extinguishment of the RCD and have therefore been accounted for as a modification.

On June 23, 2023, the funding date of the Stream, the RCD was repaid by the Company granting a royalty for 1.85% of life-of-mine gross revenue (the “Royalty”) from mining claims historically worked as described above.

Until the closing of the Stream, the CD1 was to be convertible into Common Shares at a price of C$0.30 per Common Share, subject to due diligence,stock exchange approval (subsequently amended, as described below). Alternatively, SRSR may elect to retire the CD1 with the cash proceeds from the Stream. The Company may elect to repay the CD1 early; if SRSR elects not to exercise its conversion option at such time, a minimum of 12 months of interest would include all mining claims, surface rights, fee parcels, mineral interests, existing infrastructure, machineryapply.

11

Concurrent with the funding of the CD2 in June 2022, the Company and buildingsSRSR agreed to a number of amendments to the terms of the CD1, including that the maturity date would be amended from July 7, 2023 to March 31, 2025, and that the CD1 would remain outstanding until the new maturity date regardless of whether the Stream is advanced, unless the Company elects to exercise its option of early repayment. The Company determined that the amendments in the terms of the CD1 should not be treated as an extinguishment of the CD1 and have therefore been accounted for as a modification.

Concurrent with the funding of the Stream in June 2023, the Company and Sprott agreed to amend the maturity date of CD1 from March 31, 2025, to March 31, 2026, and that CD1 would remain outstanding until the new maturity date unless the company elects to exercise its option of early repayment.

$15,000,000 Series 2 Convertible Debenture (CD2)

The Company closed the $15,000,000 CD2 on June 17, 2022. CD2 bears interest at an annual rate of 10.5%, payable in cash or shares at the Kellogg Tunnel portalCompany’s option, and matures on March 31, 2025.

The Company determined that the Bunker Hill Mine Complex.  The acquisition would also include all current and historic data relatingamendments to the Bunker Hill Mine Complex, suchterms of the CD2 should not be treated as drill logs, reports, maps,an extinguishment of the CD2 and similar information located at the mine site or any other location.have therefore been accounted for as a modification.

The Company made certain payments totaling $300,000determined that in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, each debenture will be valued and recorded as parta single instrument, with the periodic changes to fair value accounted through earnings, profit and loss.

The Company performs quarterly testing of the covenants in the CD1 and CD2 and was in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2024.

The Stream

On June 23, 2023, all conditions were met for the closing of the Stream, and $46,000,000 was advanced to the Company. The Stream is secured by the same security package that is in place with respect to the RCD, CD1, and CD2. The Stream is repayable by applying 10% of all payable metals sold until a minimum quantity of metal is delivered consisting of, individually, 63.5 million pounds of zinc, 40.4 million pounds of lead, and 1.2 million ounces of silver (subsequently amended, as described below). Thereafter, the Stream would be repayable by applying 2% of payable metals sold. The delivery price of streamed metals will be 20% of the applicable spot price. At the Company’s option, to purchase the Bunker Hill Mine assets (the “Bunker Assets”)(see note 5). All paymentsCompany may buy back 50% of the Stream Amount at a 1.40x multiple of the Stream Amount between the second and third anniversary of the date of funding, and at a 1.65x multiple of the Stream Amount between the third and fourth anniversary of the date of funding. The Company incurred $740,956 of transactions costs directly related to the leaseStream which were capitalized against the initial recognition of the Stream.

The Company determined that in accordance with ASC 815 derivatives and hedging, the Stream does not meet the criteria for treatment as a derivate instrument as the quantities of metal to be sold thereunder are being expensed untilnot subject to a minimum quantity, and therefore a notional amount is not determinable. The Company has therefore determined that in accordance with ASC 470, the option is exercisedstream obligation should be treated as a liability based on the indexed debt rules thereunder. The initial recognition has been made at fair value based on cash received, net of transaction costs, and the $500,000 previously capitalized has been expenseddiscount rate calibrated so that the future cash flows associated with the Stream, using forward commodity prices, equal the cash received. The measurement of the stream obligation is accounted for at amortized cost with accretion at the discount rate. Subsequent changes to the expected cash flows associated with the Stream will result in the quarteradjustment of the carrying value of the stream obligation using the same discount rate, with changes to the carrying value recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income.

The Company determined the effective interest rate of the Stream obligation to be 10.8% and recorded accretion expense on the liability of $1,099,060 for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017.2024 ($nil for the three months ended March 31, 2023) recognized in the consolidated statement of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income, accretion expense on the liability of $258,940 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 ($nil for the three months ended March 31, 2023) capitalized into the process plant (note 5) on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets and loss on revaluation of the liability of $217,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 ($nil for the three months ended March 31, 2023), bringing the liability to $52,713,000 as of March 31, 2024. The revaluation is because of a change in projections. The key assumptions used in the revaluation are production of 700,000,000 lbs of zinc, 385,000,000 lbs of lead, 8,700,000 oz of silver over 14 years and commodity prices of 1.17 $/lb to 1.22 $/lb for zinc, 0.94 $/lb to 0.96 $/lb for lead, and 23.00 $/oz to $24.50 $/oz for silver.

Note 6 – Related Party Transactions

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, each of Messrs. Bruce Reid (CEO), Julio DiGirolamo (CFO), Howard Crosby (Executive Vice President)1994, and John Ryan (Director) received $5,000 per month for services to the Company.  Commencing December 1, 2017, commensurate with the increased activities in the Company, Messrs. Reid and DiGirolamo’s pay increased to $20,000 and $15,000 per month, respectively.  In early December 2017, the Board approved and ratified compensation to Mr. Reid for unaccrued and unpaid salary and bonus, including for risk-capital sums advanced by Mr. Reid to the Company in order that the Company could complete manyis jointly and severally liable with the other defendants for unspecified past and future costs associated with the presence of AMD in the Crescent Mine. The plaintiff has requested unspecified damages. On September 20, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss Crescent’s claims against it, contending that such claims are facially deficient.  On March 2, 2022, Chief US District Court Judge, David C. Nye granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion to dismiss. The court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss Crescent’s Cost Recovery claim under CERCLA Section 107(a), Declaratory Judgment, Tortious Interference, Trespass, Nuisance and Negligence claims. These claims were dismissed without prejudice. The court denied the motion to dismiss filed by Placer Mining Corp. for Crescent’s trespass, nuisance and negligence claims. Crescent later filed an amended complaint on April 1, 2022. Placer Mining Corp. and Bunker Hill Mining Corp are named as co-defendants. Bunker Hill responded to the amended filing, refuting and denying all allegations made in the complaint except those that are assertions of fact as a matter of public record. The Company believes Crescent’s lawsuit is without merit and is vigorously defending itself, as well as Placer Mining Corp. pursuant to the Company’s indemnification of Placer Mining Corp in the Sale and Purchase agreement executed between the companies for the Mine on December 15, 2021. The lawsuit is currently in the discovery phase, in which information is gathered and exchanged.

14. Deferred tax liability

The Company incurred income tax recovery of $699,920 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and incurred noincome tax recovery or expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the first three months of 2024 was 12.6% compared to 0.0% for the first three months of 2023. The effective tax rate during the first three months of 2024 rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the recognition of deferred tax assets available to offset the deferred tax liability associated with the Stream Obligation. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against net operating losses subject to Section 382 and other deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate during the first three months of 2023 rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance established to offset net deferred tax assets.

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its obligationsdeferred tax assets, it will record or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if it is determined that the Company will likely ultimately be able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced.

Overview

Overview

The Company’s sole focus is the development and restart of its 100% owned flagship asset, the Bunker Hill mine (the “Bunker Hill Mine” or the “Mine”) in Idaho, USA. The Mine remains the largest single producing mine by tonnage in the Silver Valley region of northwest Idaho, producing over 165 million ounces of silver and 5 million tons of base metals between 1885 and 1981. The Bunker Hill Mine is located within Operable Unit 2 of the Bunker Hill Superfund site (EPA National Priorities Listing IDD048340921), where cleanup activities have been completed.

The Company was incorporated for the initial 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.

Pursuant to its Agreement for the lease and option to purchase the Bunker Assets, the Company is required to make two $500,000 bonus payments to Placer Mining by December 31, 2017.  The 24-month lease was to commence November 1, 2017, but has been deferred to December 1, 2017 and continues until October 31, 2019.   The lease period can be extended by a further 12 monthsactivities at the Company’s discretion.  During the term of the lease, the Company must make $100,000 monthly mining lease payments, paid quarterly.





Mine. The Company has an option to purchasemoved into the Bunker Assets at any time beforedevelopment stage concurrent with (i) purchasing 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. Under terms of the agreement, there is a 3% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on sales during the LeaseMine and a 1.5% NSR on the sales after the purchase option is exercised, which post-acquisition NSR is capped at $60 million.

Management believes this leaseprocess plant, (ii) completing successive technical and option will provide the Company time to both produceeconomic studies, including a mine plan and raise the money needed to move forward.  Management also believes that this is a strong signal to the market that the Bunker Hill Mine is “back in business”. Management is now able 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 strike to the west where more recent past drilling has resulted in major discoveries such as the Quill body of mineralized material.

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,Prefeasibility Study, (iii) conducting metallurgical studies aimed at enhancing the recovery of the silver and by-product lead and zinc,delineating mineral reserves, and (iv) prepare an engineering design related to potential constructionconducting the program of a new mine. Explorationactivities outlined above.

Results of the property would be conducted simultaneously with the mine development in order to locate additional mineralized materials.Operations

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:

Reclamation and Closure Plan

§

Water Discharge Permit

Industrial Artificial (tailings) pond permit

§

Obtaining 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.

Surface rights were originally owned by various previous owners of the claims until the acquisition of the properties by 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 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 expects to take on the water treatment responsibility in the future and obtain an appropriate discharge permit.  If the Company 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, President and CEO; Julio DiGirolamo, Chief Financial Officer; and Howard Crosby, Executive Vice President.

Completed Work and Future Plan of Operations

The 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 zinc/lead/silver materials 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 the nearest term production as priority, these being the UTZ Zone, the Newgard Zone and the South Newgard 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.

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 nine 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. The Company has inspected a great deal of the ramp system between the nine 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 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.

The Company believes that the potential does exist for early production by shipping mineralized material to a custom mill.  The Company has undertaken discussions with mill owners, but such discussions are still at an early stage and there is no guarantee that they will result in a positive outcome.  Longer term, the Company anticipates constructing its own milling facility near the mouth of the Kellogg Tunnel. Initially the mill capacity will be 1,500 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 Newgard zones at rates of approximately 1500 tons per day, the Company would anticipate mining approximately 450,000 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.





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 1,500 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

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.

Subsequent Events

There are no subsequent events to report at this time.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis providesprovide information that we believe is believed to be relevant to an assessment and understanding of ourthe results of operation and financial condition of the Company for the three and six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017 as compared to the three2024 and six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2023. Unless otherwise stated, all figures herein are expressed in U.S. dollars, which is the Company’s functional currencycurrency.

Comparison of the Company.


Results of Operations for the three months endedDecember 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2024 and 2023

Revenue

Revenue

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, and six-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016,2023, respectively, the Company generated no revenue.





Operating expensesExpenses

During the three-month periodthree months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, and 2022, the Company reported total operating expenses of $3,467,459 compared to $142,264 during the three-month period ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $3,325,195.  $3,787,631 and $2,185,488, respectively.

The increase results from activities relatedin total operating expenses was primarily due to the Bunker Hill Mine, activities that did not existincrease in the previous year.  This includes an increase in propertyvolume of transactions as the mine continues to develop. Operation and exploration costs of approximately $2,095,000 and an increase in operation and administrativeadministration expenses of $821,040increased by $1,018,781 ($1,898,773 for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172024, compared to the same period ended December 31, 2016.  Administrative expenses have increased due to the Company being active once again after having been delisted and relatively inactive for some years.

For financial accounting purposes, the Company expenses all property lease payments and exploration expenditures in the statement of operations. During the interim period endedDecember 31, 2017, activities were carried out on the Bunker Hill mine and payments made on account of the lease.

Consulting, legal and accounting, and operation and administration expenses increased due to the Company’s new life with commensurate management and legal activity towards corporate “clean up”, investor relations and public relations work, as well as work related to acquiring and evaluating the Bunker Hill mine.

Critical accounting estimates

The estimated fair valuepreparation of warrants accounted for asthe interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities was determined onand contingent liabilities at the date of issuethe financial statements and marks to market at each financialreported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. The changekey sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the amounts recognized in the financial statements are:

Share-based payments

Management determines costs for share-based payments using market-based valuation techniques. The fair value of the share awards and warrant liabilities are determined at the date of grant using generally accepted valuation techniques and for warrant liabilities at each balance sheets date thereafter. Assumptions are made and judgment used in applying valuation techniques. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the future volatility of the stock price and expected dividend yield. Such judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates.

Convertible Loans, Promissory Notes, Stream Obligation and Warrants

Estimating the fair value of derivative warrant liability requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is recordeddependent 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 derivative liability, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.

The fair value estimates of the convertible loans use inputs to the valuation model that include risk-free rates, equity value per share of common stock, USD-CAD exchange rates, spot and futures prices of minerals, expected equity volatility, expected volatility in minerals prices, discount for lack of marketability, credit spread, expected mineral production over the life of the mine, and project risk/estimation risk factors.

The stream obligation inputs used to determine the future cash flows and effective interest for the amortized cost calculation include futures prices of minerals and expected mineral production over the life of the mine.

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.

Accrued liabilities

The Company has to make estimates to accrue for certain expenditures due to delay in receipt of third-party vendor invoices. These accruals are made based on trends, history and knowledge of activities. Actual results may be different.

The Company makes monthly estimates of its water treatment costs, with a true-up to the annual invoice received from the IDEQ. Using the actual costs in the condensed consolidated statementannual invoice, the Company will then reassess its estimate for future periods. Given the nature, complexity and variability of operations and comprehensive lossthe various actual cost items included in the invoice, the Company has used the most recent invoice as a gain or loss and is estimated usingits estimate of the Binomial model.water treatment costs for future periods.

ITEM 1A.On July 28, 2021, a lawsuit was filed in the US District Court for the District of Idaho brought by Crescent Mining, LLC (“Crescent”). The named defendants include Placer Mining, Robert Hopper Jr., and the Company. The lawsuit alleges that Placer Mining and Robert Hopper Jr. intentionally flooded the Crescent Mine during the period from 1991 and 1994, and that the Company is jointly and severally liable with the other defendants for unspecified past and future costs associated with the presence of AMD in the Crescent Mine. The plaintiff has requested unspecified damages. On September 20, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss Crescent’s claims against it, contending that such claims are facially deficient.  On March 2, 2022, Chief US District Court Judge, David C. Nye granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion to dismiss. The court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss Crescent’s Cost Recovery claim under CERCLA Section 107(a), Declaratory Judgment, Tortious Interference, Trespass, Nuisance and Negligence claims. These claims were dismissed without prejudice. The court denied the motion to dismiss filed by Placer Mining Corp. for Crescent’s trespass, nuisance and negligence claims. Crescent later filed an amended complaint on April 1, 2022. Placer Mining Corp. and Bunker Hill Mining Corp are named as co-defendants. Bunker Hill responded to the amended filing, refuting and denying all allegations made in the complaint except those that are assertions of fact as a matter of public record. The Company believes Crescent’s lawsuit is without merit and is vigorously defending itself, as well as Placer Mining Corp. pursuant to the Company’s indemnification of Placer Mining Corp in the Sale and Purchase agreement executed between the companies for the Mine on December 15, 2021.

 RISK FACTORS.

On October 26, 2021, the Company asserted claims against Crescent in a separate lawsuit, which has been consolidated into the Crescent lawsuit. The Company commenced Bunker Hill Mining Corporation v. Venzee Technologies Inc. et al, Case No. 2:21-cv-209-REP, in the US District Court for the District of Idaho on May 14, 2021. The Company has subsequently executed a tolling agreement with Venzee in exchange for dropping its claims against Venzee. The Company originally filed this lawsuit on May 14, 2021 against other parties but has since filed an amended complaint to include its claims against Crescent. The Court consolidated the two lawsuits on April 19, 2022. The consolidated lawsuits are currently in the discovery phase, in which information is gathered and exchanged.
