| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Subscriber Forms and Warrant Indenture
On March 5, 2026, Bunker Hill Mining Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), closed the previously announced LIFE offering of 159,735,000 units (the “LIFE Units”) of the Company (the “LIFE Offering”) (which includes the full exercise of the agents’ over-allotment option) by way of (i) a “best efforts” private placement (the “Brokered Offering”) in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, (other than Québec), the United States and jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States pursuant to an agency agreement among the Company, Haywood Securities Inc. (“Haywood”), as lead agent and bookrunner, and a syndicate of agents and (ii) a non-brokered private placement (the “Non-Brokered Offering”) to purchasers in Canada (excluding Québec), the United States and jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States.
The Company issued the LIFE Units at a price per LIFE Unit of C$0.18 (the “Offer Price”) for gross proceeds of approximately C$33,752,300 (which includes the full exercise of the agents’ over-allotment option and the proceeds received pursuant to the Warrant Exercise (as defined below)). Each LIFE Unit is comprised of one share of common stock of the Company (a “Unit Share”) and one-half of one common stock purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at a price of C$0.30 per Warrant Share at any time on or before March 5, 2029.
On March 5, 2026, the Company entered into a series of substantially similar subscriber forms (collectively, the “Subscriber Forms”) pursuant to which such investors acquired LIFE Units at the Offer Price. In connection with the LIFE Offering, Ocean Partners Holdings Limited (“OP”) agreed to exercise a minimum of 29,411,765 common share purchase warrants previously issued to and held by OP, at an exercise price of C$0.17 (the “Warrant Exercise”).
In connection with the issuance of the Warrants, on March 5, 2026, the Company entered into a warrant indenture (the “Warrant Indenture”) with Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as warrant agent, to govern the issuance and management of the Warrants.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the LIFE Offering to provide working capital for the ramp-up of the Bunker Hill Mine to commercial production, for exploration and for general corporate purposes.
The foregoing description of the Subscriber Forms, the Warrant Indenture, and the Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of Subscriber Form and the Warrant Indenture (including the form of Warrant attached as Schedule “A” thereto), which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
Agency Agreement
On March 5, 2026, the Company and Haywood, on its own behalf and on behalf of Roth Canada, Inc., BMO Capital Markets, and Canaccord Genuity Corp. (collectively, the “Agents”), entered into an agency agreement (the “Agency Agreement”), pursuant to which the Agents conducted the LIFE Offering.
Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, the Company paid to the Agents aggregate cash fees of approximately C$1,627,110 and issued to the Agents an aggregate of 9,039,500 non-transferable compensation options (the “Compensation Options”), representing (i) 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the Brokered Offering, other than the gross proceeds raised from certain sales pursuant to a president’s list (the “President’s List Sales”); and (ii) 3.0% of the gross proceeds raised from President’s List Sales (in each case, less any amount of cash fees and Compensation Options issued to ZED Financial Partners (“ZED”)). Each Compensation Option is exercisable to acquire one share of common stock of the Company (a “Compensation Option Share”) at the Offer Price at any time on or before March 5, 2028. No commission was paid on the Non-Brokered Offering.
The Agency Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, the Company has agreed to certain restrictions on offering securities of the Company until July 3, 2026, and to prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by March 12, 2026, a registration statement covering the resale of all Unit Shares, Warrant Shares, and Compensation Option Shares. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Agents against certain liabilities, including in respect of claims arising out of the Agency Agreement, or to contribute to payments the Agents may be required to make due to any such liabilities.
The foregoing description of the Agency Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Agency Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
* * *
The Company paid ZED a cash fee of C$47,820 of the gross proceeds of the Brokered Offering from subscribers introduced by ZED to the Company (the “Introduced Subscribers”), and issued to certain principals of ZED an aggregate of 265,667 Compensation Options, representing 3.0% of the LIFE Units sold in the Brokered Offering to the Introduced Subscribers.
The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Subscriber Forms, the Warrant Indenture, and the Agency Agreement were made solely for purposes of such agreements and indenture and as of a specific date, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and indenture and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to security holders. Security holders should not rely on the representations, warranties, and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company.

The Reverse Stock Split became effective at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time on March 6, 2026. The Company obtained written consents of stockholders of the Company holding a majority of the voting shares of the Company to approve the Certificate of Change and the Reverse Stock Split contemplated thereby.

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and any fractional shares that resulted from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock is 120613823.
