CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this report, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of Canadian securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to business prospects, predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, intentions, projections, objectives, strategies, assumptions, future events, performance or exploration and development efforts using words or phrases (including negative and grammatical variations) such as, but not limited to, “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “intends,” “forecasts,” “likely,” “projects,” “believes,” “seeks,” or stating that certain actions, events or results “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot be certain that these plans, intentions, and expectations will be achieved. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following:

 

  our business, prospects, and overall strategy;
  progress in the development of our Bunker Hill Mine (as defined below) and the timing of that progress;
  planned or estimated expenses and capital expenditures, including the Bunker Hill Mine’s expected costs of construction and operation and the sources of funds to pay for such costs;
  availability of liquidity and capital resources;
  our ability to successfully complete the debt restructure and equity financing announced in 1Q 2025; or close it timely such as to be able to meet our near term financial obligations;
  our ability to achieve the full amount of funding support from Teck Resources, Sprott Private Resource Streaming & Royalty Corp. (“Sprott”) and Monetary Metals & Co. under existing or pending agreements;
  our ability to secure additional required capital , in addition to the previously received funding and announced capital restructure funding, to complete the development of the Bunker Hill Mine and corporate needs; and
  any further initiatives or advancements that may be undertaken relating to the Bunker Hill Mine.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions that are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include:

 

  the sufficiency of existing cash resources to enable us to continue operations for the next 12 months as a going concern;
  our ability to successfully complete the debt restructure and equity financing announced in 1Q 2025; or close it timely such as to be able to meet our near term financial obligations;
  our lead concentrate offtake agreement may not be reached, which could result in less favorable commercial terms for the sale of concentrates;
  our ability to secure or close offtake financing, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and a negative impact the Company’s ability to secure additional funding from Sprott or an alternative capital provider;
  our ability to achieve our targeted production timeline for the Bunker Hill Mine which would increase the Company’s required capital needs through the completion of the project;
  our ability to secure additional funding, which would impact our ability to commence operations or continue operations of the Bunker Hill Mine;
  payment bonds securing the EPA cost recovery costs may not be renewed or not be renewable on acceptable terms;

  social and environmental activism may have an adverse effect on the reputation and financial condition of the Company or its relationship with the communities in which it operates;
  metal prices are highly volatile and can impact our ability to profitably operate;
  a shortage of equipment and supplies could adversely affect our ability to operate its business;
  joint ventures and other partnerships, including offtake arrangements, may expose the Company to risks;
  the Company may experience difficulty attracting and retaining qualified management to meet the needs of its anticipated growth, and the failure to manage its growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.;

  the Company’s common stock is thinly traded and the price can be volatile and as a result, investors could lose all or part of their investment;
  the Company’s common stock is currently deemed a “penny stock”, which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares;
  investors’ interests in the Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share of common stock if the Company issues additional employee/director/consultant stock options or other stock-based compensation or if the Company sells additional shares of common stock and/or warrants to finance its operations;
  the issuance of additional shares of common stock may negatively impact the trading price of the Company’s securities;
  risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024; and
  other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

 

This list is not exhaustive of all the risk factors that may affect our forward-looking statements.

 

Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that could cause results, performance, or achievements not to be as anticipated, estimated, intended, or expected. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements may vary, possibly materially, from those anticipated, estimated, intended, or expected. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.

Bunker Hill Mining Corp.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

 

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

 

Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (“we”, “us”, “Bunker Hill”, or 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 300-1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2E9. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the Company had one subsidiary, Silver Valley Metals Corp. (“Silver Valley”, formerly American Zinc Corp.), an Idaho corporation created to facilitate the work being conducted at the Bunker Hill Mine in Kellogg, Idaho (“Bunker Hill Mine”).

 

The Company was incorporated for the purpose of engaging in mineral exploration, and exploitation activities, and is currently focused on the development and planned operations of the Bunker Hill Mine.

 

Bunker Hill holds a 100% interest in the historic Bunker Hill Mine located in the town of Kellogg, Idaho. The Bunker Hill Mine, which previously operated between 1885 and 1981 producing over 165 million ounces of silver and 5 million tons of base metals during that time.

 

We are currently focused on the construction of mill facilities and upgrades to the historic underground infrastructure as well as further delineating our mineral resources.

 

Going Concern

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $116,712,934 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. The Company does not have sufficient cash to fund normal operations and meet debt obligations for the next 12 months without deferring payment on certain current liabilities and/or raising additional funds. In order to continue to meet its fiscal obligations in the current fiscal year and beyond, the Company must seek additional financing. The Company has announced a debt restructure and equity offering, however, there is no assurance these transactions will be finalized, and if finalized, the timing of such finalizations. 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

These condensed interim 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.

Tariff War

 

The Company’s operations could be adversely affected by the effects of the tariff war between the United States of America and other countries around the world. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact the crisis will have on its operations and the ability of contractors to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating the severity of its effects, the duration of the conflict, and the length and magnitude of restrictions imposed by governments. In addition, the crisis could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of the U.S. in general, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations. Additionally, the Company cannot predict changes in precious metals pricing or changes in commodities pricing which may alternately affect the Company either positively or negatively.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and the rules and regulations of the U.S. 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’ deficiency, 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The interim results for the period ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes for items such as mineral reserves, useful lives and depreciation methods, potential impairment of long-lived assets, sale of mineral properties for the accounting of the conversion of the royalty convertible debenture (the “RCD”), deferred income taxes, settlement pricing of commodity sales, fair value of stock based compensation, accrued liabilities, estimation of asset retirement obligations and reclamation liabilities, convertible debentures, stream obligation, and warrants. Estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

3. Accounts receivable and prepaid expenses

   March 31,   December 31, 
   2025   2024

U.S. Environment Protection Agency overpayment (note 8)   -    100,000 
Total  $564,382   $690,358 

  

 10 

 

 

4. Equipment, Right-of-Use Asset

 

Equipment consists of the following:

  

   March 31,   December 31, 
   2025   2024 
         
Equipment  $2,454,489   $2,468,339 
Less accumulated depreciation   (849,179)   (726,358)
Equipment, net  $1,605,310   $1,741,981 

 

The total depreciation expense relating to equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, was $118,206 and $46,465, respectively.

 

Right-of-use asset consists of the following:

  

   March 31,   December 31, 
   2025   2024 
         
Right-of-use asset   984,562    984,562 
Less accumulated depreciation   (270,125)   (226,437)
Right-of-use asset, net  $714,437   $758,125 

 

The total depreciation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, was $43,688 and $44,349, respectively. The Company is a party primarily to lease contracts for mining related mobile equipment.

 

5. Process Plant

 

On May 13, 2022, the Company purchased a comprehensive package of equipment and parts inventory from Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”). The package comprised substantially all processing equipment of value located at the Pend Oreille mine site, including complete crushing, grinding and flotation circuits suitable for a planned ~1,500 ton-per-day operation at the Bunker Hill site, and total inventory of nearly 10,000 components and parts for mill, assay lab, conveyer, field instruments, and electrical spares.

 

The process plant was purchased in an assembled state in the seller’s location, and included major processing systems, significant components, and a large inventory of spare parts. The Company has disassembled and transported it to the Bunker Hill site, and is reassembling it as an integral part of the Company’s future operations. The Company determined that the transaction would be accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the process plant representing a single asset, with the exception of the inventory of spare parts, which has been separated out on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets as a non-current asset. As the plant is demobilized, transported and reassembled, installation and other costs associated with these activities are being captured and capitalized as components of the asset.

 

Process plant consists of the following:

  

   March 31,   December 31, 
   2025   2024 
         
Mill purchase, detailed engineering, and construction costs  $72,478,277   $65,545,594 
Capitalized interest (note 9)   2,656,713    1,848,473 
Disposal of grinding circuits   (984,820)   (984,820)
Process Plant  $74,150,170   $66,409,247 

  

 11 

 

 

In August 2024, the Company sold a grinding circuit previously purchased from Teck as part of the Pend Oreille Mill purchase for $20,000 recognizing a loss on sale of equipment of $308,273. In September 2024, the Company reclassified two remaining grinding circuits as assets at $40,000 held for sale and recognized a loss on sale of equipment of $616,547.

 

6. Bunker Hill Mine and Mining Interests

 

The Company purchased the Bunker Hill Mine (the “Mine”) in January 2022.

 

The carrying cost of the Mine is comprised of the following:

  

   March 31,   December 31,

On January 17, 2025, as consideration for Sprott advancing the debt facility, as described in note 9, the Company granted a royalty for 0.5% 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. A 0.35% rate will apply to claims outside of these areas.

 

On January 31, 2025, as consideration for Sprott advancing the debt facility, as described in note 9, the Company granted a royalty for 0.5% 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. A 0.35% rate will apply to claims outside of these areas.

 

On December 19, 2024, as consideration for Sprott advancing the debt facility, as described in note 9, the Company granted a royalty for 0.5% 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. A 0.35% rate will apply to claims outside of these areas.

 

On December 12, 2024, as consideration for Sprott advancing the debt facility, as described in note 9, the Company granted a royalty for 0.5% 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. A 0.35% rate will apply to claims outside of these areas.

 

As a result of the debt facility drawdowns as of March 31, 2025, Sprott holds a 2% 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 and a 1.4% rate applying to claims outside of these areas.

These transactions were treated as a sale of mineral interest to Sprott. The portion of the mineral interest sold was determined based on an analysis of discounted life-of-mine royalty payments relative to discounted future cash flows generated from the mine net of capital and operating costs, applied to the carrying value of the Bunker Hill Mine as of above funding dates, before consideration of the sale of mineral properties. This analysis utilized a discount rate of 15% and long-term metal prices of $1.20/lb, $0.95/lb and $27.29/oz for zinc, lead and silver respectively.

 

7. Lease Liability

 

As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, The Company’s undiscounted lease obligations consisted of the following:

  

   March 31,   December 31,

Total lease liability   205,140    251,650 

 

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, was $8,907 and $27,008 respectively.

 

8. Environmental Protection Agency and Water Treatment Liabilities (“EPA”)

 

Effective December 19, 2021, the Company entered into an amended Settlement Agreement between the Company, Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, U.S. Department of Justice, and the EPA (the “Amended Settlement”). Upon the effectiveness of the Amended Settlement, the Company would become fully compliant with its payment obligations to these parties. The Amended Settlement modified the payment schedule and payment terms for recovery of the historical environmental response costs. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Settlement, upon purchase of the Bunker Hill Mine and the satisfaction of financial assurance commitments (as described below), the $19,000,000 of cost recovery liabilities were to be paid by the Company to the EPA on the following dates:

  

Date   Amount  
Within 30 days of Settlement Agreement   $ 2,000,000  
November 1, 2024   $ 3,000,000  
November 1, 2025   $ 3,000,000  
November 1, 2026   $ 3,000,000  
November 1, 2027   $ 3,000,000  
November 1, 2028   $ 3,000,000  
November 1, 2029   $ 2,000,000 plus accrued interest  

 

In addition to the changes in payment terms and schedule, the Amended Settlement includes a commitment by the Company to secure financial assurance for the principle outstanding in the form of performance bonds or letters of credit deemed acceptable to the EPA. The financial assurance can be drawn on by the EPA in the event of non-performance by the Company of its payment obligations under the Amended Settlement (the “Financial Assurance”). The amount of the bonds will decrease over time as individual payments are made.

 

 13 

 

 

In December 2024, the Company made the second payment under the 2021 Amended Settlement Agreement in the amount of $3,000,000. As a result, the remainder of the payment obligation is $14,000,000. As of March 31, 2025 (unchanged from December 31, 2024), the Company had two payment bonds of $9,999,000 and $4,001,000, in place to secure this liability. As of March 31, 2025, the collateral for the payment bonds are comprised of a $2,975,000 letter of credits and land pledged by third parties, with whom the Company has entered into a financing cooperation agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) that contemplates a monthly fee of $20,000 (payable in cash or common stock of the Company, at the Company’s election). As of December 31, 2024, the collateral for the payment bonds was comprised of two letters of credit totaling $4,475,000 in aggregate, as well as land pledged by third parties with whom the company has entered into a financing cooperation agreement that contemplates a monthly fee of $20,000 (payable in cash or common shares of the Company, at the Company’s election). The letters of credit are secured by cash deposits under an agreement with a commercial bank, which comprise the $2,975,000 of restricted cash shown within current assets as of March 31, 2025, and $4,475,000 December 31, 2024.

 

The Company recorded accretion expense on the liability of $408,013 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ($452,807 for the three months ended March 31, 2024), bringing the net liability to $8,957,242 (inclusive of interest payable of $156,743).

 

Water Treatment Charges – Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (“IDEQ”)

 

Separate to the cost recovery liability outlined above, the Company is responsible for the payment of ongoing water treatment charges. Water treatment charges incurred through December 31, 2021, were payable to the EPA, and charges thereafter are payable to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (“IDEQ”) following a handover of responsibilities for the Central Treatment Plant from the EPA to the IDEQ as of that date.

 

The Company currently makes monthly payments of $100,000 to the IDEQ as instalments toward the cost of treating water at the Central Treatment Plant. Upon receipt of an invoice from the IDEQ for actual costs incurred, a reconciliation is performed relative to payments made, with an additional payment made or refund received as applicable. The Company accrues $100,000 per month based on its estimate of the monthly cost of water treatment. As of March 31, 2025, a prepaid expense of $nil (December 31, 2024: $100,000) represented the difference between the estimated cost of water treatment and net payments made by the Company to the IDEQ to date. This balance has been recognized on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets as accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.

 

9. Promissory Notes Payable, Convertible Debentures, and Silver Loan

 

$6,000,000 Convertible Debenture (CD1)

 

CD1 bears interest at an annual rate of 7.5%, payable in cash or shares at the Company’s option on principal of $6,000,000. The CD1 is secured by a pledge of the Company’s properties and assets. In August 2024, the Company and Sprott agreed to amend the maturity date of CD1 from March 31, 2026, to March 31, 2028, and that CD1 would remain outstanding until the new maturity date unless the Company elects to exercise its option of early repayment. The Company determined that the amendments to the terms of the CD1 should not be treated as an extinguishment of the CD1 and have therefore been accounted for as a modification.

 

The CD1 is convertible into Common Shares at a price of Canadian Dollars (“C$”) C$0.30 per Common Share, subject to stock exchange approval.

 

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

 

CD2 bears interest at an annual rate of 10.5%, payable in cash or shares at the Company’s option on principal of $15,000,000. CD2 is secured by a pledge of the Company’s properties and assets.

 

 14 

 

 

In August 2024, the Company and Sprott agreed to amend the maturity date of CD2 from March 31, 2026, to March 31, 2029, and that CD2 would remain outstanding until the new maturity date unless the Company elects to exercise its option of early repayment. The Company determined that the amendments to the terms of the CD2 should not be treated as an extinguishment of the CD2 and have therefore been accounted for as a modification.

 

The CD2 is convertible into Common Shares at a price of C$0.29 per Common Share, subject to stock exchange approval.

 

The Company determined that in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, each debenture will be valued and recorded as a single instrument, with the periodic changes to fair value accounted through earnings, profit and loss.

 

Consistent with the approach above, the following table summarizes the key valuation inputs as at applicable valuation dates:

  (1) The CD1 carried a Discount for Lack of Marketability (“DLOM”) of 5.0% as of the issuance date. The CD2 carried a DLOM of 10.0% as of the issuance date.
  (2) CD1 carries an instrument-specific spread of 7.23%, CD2 carries an instrument-specific spread of 9.32%.
  (3) The conversion price of the CD1 is $0.209 and CD2 is $0.202 as of March 31, 2025. The conversion price of the CD1 is $0.208 and CD2 is $0.202 as of December 31, 2024.

 

The resulting fair values of the CD1 and CD2 at March 31, 2025, and as of December 31, 2024, were as follows:

 

Instrument Description 

March 31,

2025

  

December 31,

2024

 
CD1  $5,364,818   $5,494,151 
CD2   13,565,280    13,898,481 
Total  $18,930,098   $19,392,632 

 

The loss on changes in fair value of convertible debentures recognized on the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, was $78,364 and $157,232, respectively. The portion of changes in fair value that is attributable to changes in the Company’s credit risk is accounted for within other comprehensive income. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $540,898 and $288,372 respectively, within other comprehensive income. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 was $499,315 and $504,863 respectively. At March 31, 2025 interest of $499,315 ($510,411 at December 31, 2024) is included in interest payable on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $284,741 and $70,093, respectively, loss on debt settlement on the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss as a result of settling interest by issuance of shares.

 

The Company performs quarterly testing of the covenants in the CD1 and CD2 and was not in compliance with the working capital covenant required as of March 31, 2025, however, each debenture holder agreed to waive the working capital covenant for the period of March 31, 2025. It is probable that the violation will be cured by June 30, 2025.

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, the Company 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 Stream 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 not 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 stream 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 discount 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 adjustment 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 and comprehensive loss.

 

The Company determined the effective interest rate of the Stream obligation to be 10.6% and recorded accretion expense on the liability of $945,295 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ($1,099,060 for the three months ended March 31, 2024) recognized in the consolidated statement of (loss) and comprehensive (loss), accretion expense on the liability of $563,705 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ($258,940 for the three months ended March 31, 2024) capitalized into the process plant (note 5) on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets and gain (loss) on revaluation of the liability of $4,699,460 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ($217,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, bringing the liability to $53,796,540 as of March 31, 2025. 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 1.20 $/lb to 1.28 $/lb for zinc, 0.91 $/lb to 0.93 $/lb for lead, and 27.76 $/oz to $31.96 $/oz for silver.

 

$21,000,000 Debt Facility

 

On June 23, 2023, the Company closed a $21,000,000 debt facility with Sprott which is available for draw at the Company’s election for a period of 2 years. Any amounts drawn will bear interest of 10% per annum, from the later of the Funding Date and June 30, 2027 to the date of repayment in full, at the rate of per cent 15.0% per annum, which is payable annually in cash or capitalized at the Company’s election. The maturity date of any drawings under the Debt Facility will be June 30, 2030. For every $5,000,000 or part thereof advanced under the Debt Facility, the Company will grant a new 0.5% life-of-mine gross revenue royalty, on the same terms as the Royalty, to a maximum of 2.0% on the Primary Claims and 1.4% on the Secondary Claims. The Company may buy back 50% of these royalties for $20,000,000.

 

On January 17, 2025, the Company drew $5,000,000 on the debt facility. The proceeds were bifurcated between host debt and the underlying sale of mineral interest to Sprott (note 6). On January 31, 2025, the Company drew $6,000,000 on the debt facility. On December 12, 2024, the Company drew $5,000,000 on the debt facility. The proceeds were bifurcated between host debt and the underlying sale of mineral interest to Sprott (note 6). On December 19, 2024, the Company drew $5,000,000 on the debt facility. The proceeds were bifurcated between host debt and the underlying sale of mineral interest to Sprott (note 6). The Company recorded accretion expense on the debt facility of $525,540 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ($nil for the three months ended March 31, 2024), bringing the net liability to $20,060,254 as of March 31, 2025.

 

The Company performs quarterly testing of the covenants in the debt facility and was not in compliance with the working capital covenant required as of March 31, 2025, however, each debenture holder agreed to waive the working capital covenant for the period of March 31, 2025. It is probable that the violation will be cured by June 30, 2025.

 

Silver Loan

 

On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into definitive agreements with Monetary Metals Bond III LLC, an entity established by Monetary Metals & Co., for a silver loan in an amount of U.S. dollars equal to up to 1.2 million ounces of silver, to be advanced in one or more tranches, in support of the re-start and ongoing development of the Bunker Hill Mine (the “Silver Loan”).

 

The Company determined that in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, the Silver Loan is valued and recorded as a single instrument, with the periodic changes to fair value accounted through earnings, profit and loss.

 

 16 

 

 

The fair value of the Silver Loan was determined using the Black-Derman-Toy (“BDT”) model. The BDT model models the evolution of interest rates over time using a binomial tree structure by capturing level of interest rates and volatility and estimates the value of the prepayment option by assessing how the borrower’s incentive to prepay changes with interest rate movements. The key inputs include:

 

Reference  Valuation Date  Maturity Date  Contractual Interest Rate   Interest Rate Volatility   Risk-free rate   Credit Spread   Risk-adjusted rate 
Tranche 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5  Dec 31, 2024  Aug 8, 2027   15%   26.5%   4.23%   4.53%   16.54%
Tranche 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5  Mar 31, 2025  Aug 8, 2027   15%   30.5%   4.24%   6.76%   18.80%

 

The resulting fair values of the Silver Loan at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and as of the issuance date, were as follows:

 

Reference  Mar 31, 2025   Dec 31, 2024 
Silver Loan  $36,379,996   $31,802,708 

 

The loss on changes in fair value of Silver Loan recognized on the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $6,068,932 compared to $nil for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The portion of changes in fair value that is attributable to changes in the Company’s credit risk is accounted for within other comprehensive income during the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $1,491,644, compared to $nil for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

 

The Company performs quarterly testing of the covenant of the Silver Loan and was in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2025.

 

Teck Promissory Note

 

On March 21, 2025, the Company closed an unsecured promissory note for an aggregate principal amount of up to $3,400,000 (the “Note”). The Note will bear interest at 12% per annum, with such interest being capitalized and added to the principal amount outstanding under the Note monthly. The Note will be available in multiple advances at the discretion of Teck and is payable on demand from Teck. On March 21, 2025, the Company received $763,000 in advance from Teck. On March 25, 2025, the Company received $2,325,000 advance from Teck. As of March 31, 2025, the principal outstanding on the unsecured promissory note is $3,088,000. At March 31, 2025, interest of $7,097 ($nil at December 31, 2024) is included in the Teck promissory note payable on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $7,097 ($nil for the three months ended March 31, 2024).

 

10. Capital Stock, Warrants, Stock Options and Restricted Share Units

 

Authorized

 

The total authorized capital is as follows:

 

1,500,000,000 Common Shares with a par value of $0.000001 per Common Share; and
10,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.000001 per preferred share

 

Issued and outstanding

 

The Cooperation Agreement provides for, among other things, MineWater LLC (the “Creditor”) and its affiliates providing certain collateral security in order for the Company to obtain certain surety bonds with respect to the Bunker Hill Mine (the “Collateral Security”). In consideration for the Collateral Security, the Company is required to pay the Creditor a financing cooperation fee of US$20,000 per month during the term of the Cooperation Agreement. In January 2025, the Company issued 1,053,335 shares of common stock in connection with its election to satisfy financing cooperation fee for the six months ended September 30, 2024. In January 2025, the Company issued 621,500 shares of common stock in connection with its election to satisfy financing cooperation fee for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

 

In January 2025, the Company issued 7,392,859 shares of common stock in connection with its election to satisfy interest payments under the outstanding convertible debentures for the three months ending December 31, 2024.

 

In January 2025, the Company issued 672,450 shares of common stock in connection with settlement of RSUs.

 

In January 2024, the Company issued 7,392,859 shares of common stock in connection with its election to satisfy interest payments under the outstanding convertible debentures for the three months ending December 31, 2023.

 

In March 2024, the Company issued 2,546,436 shares of common stock in connection with settlement of RSUs.

 

The Company has accounted for the warrants 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 U.S. dollar. The estimated fair value of warrants accounted for as liabilities was determined on the date of issue and marked to market at each financial reporting period. The change in fair value of the warrant is recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss 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 period were estimated using the Binomial model to determine the fair value using the following assumptions as at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

  (i) On January 29, 2024, the Company granted 672,450 RSUs to the CFO of the Company, which vest on January 29, 2025. The vesting of these RSUs resulted in stock-based compensation of $3,552 and $8,880 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, which is included in operating expenses in the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
     
  (ii) On March 13, 2024, the Company granted 9,047,953 RSUs to certain executives and employees of the Company, which vest in one-third increments on March 13 of 2025, 2026 and 2027.

The vesting of RSU’s during the three months ending March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, resulted in stock based compensation expense of $182,776 and $236,856 respectively.

 

11. Deferred Share Units

 

Effective April 21, 2020, the Board of Directors approved a Deferred Share Unit (“DSU”) Plan to grant DSUs to its directors. The DSU Plan permits the eligible directors to defer receipt of all or a portion of their retainer or compensation until termination of their services and to receive such fees in the form of cash at that time.

 

Upon vesting of the DSUs or termination of service as a director, the director will be able to redeem DSUs based upon the then market price of the Company’s Common Share on the date of redemption in exchange for cash.

 

Outstanding DSUs at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows: 

  

       Weighted 
       average

The vesting of DSU’s during the three months ended March 31, 2025, resulted in a recovery of stock-based compensation of $50,786 and stock-based compensation expense of $74,978 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The fair value of each DSU is $0.10 as of March 31, 2025, and $0.11 as of December 31, 2024.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

 

As stipulated in the agreement with the EPA and as described in Note 8, the Company is required to make two types of payments to the EPA and IDEQ, one for historical water treatment cost-recovery to the EPA, and the other for ongoing water treatment. Water treatment costs incurred through December 2021 are payable to the EPA, and water treatment costs incurred thereafter are payable to the IDEQ. The IDEQ (as done formerly by the EPA) invoices the Company on an annual basis for the actual water treatment costs, which may exceed the recognized estimated costs significantly. When the Company receives the water treatment invoices, it records any liability for actual costs over and above any estimates made and adjusts future estimates as required based on these actual invoices received. The Company is required to pay for the actual costs regardless of the periodic required estimated accruals and payments made each year.

 

On July 28, 2021, a lawsuit was filed in the U.S. 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 acid mine drainage 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 U.S. 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 in respect of Crescent’s cost recovery claim under CERCLA Section 107(a), and 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 intends to vigorously defend 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.

 

13. Deferred Tax liability

 

The Company incurred no income tax recovery or expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and incurred income tax recovery of $699,920 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the first three months of 2024 was 12.6%. 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.

 

Current liabilities at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, include an income tax payable of $1,050,000. This relates to the proceeds of the Stream which are classified as income under the U.S. internal revenue code. The Company elected to defer the income, one year, to 2024, in which most of the income was offset by losses incurred in the current year and previous years.

 

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 deferred 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.

Sprott Transactions

 

In January 2025, the Company drew $11,000,000 on the Sprott debt facility. As consideration for Sprott advancing the debt facility the Company granted Sprott a royalty for 1.0% 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 and a 0.70% rate will apply to claims outside of these areas.

 

In January 2025, the Company issued 7,119,049 shares of common stock to Sprott in connection with its election to satisfy interest payments under the outstanding convertible debentures owned by Sprott for the three months ended December 31, 2024. 

 

16. Geographic and Segment Information

 

The Company has one reportable operating segment. The Company’s primary focus is the development and restart of our 100% owned Bunker Hill Mine in Kellogg, Idaho, U.S. The Company reported no revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024.

RSU Amendments

 

On May 1, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the vesting schedule of certain RSUs previously granted to certain directors and officers of the Company under the Company’s amended and restated restricted stock unit incentive plan (the “RSU Plan”) on November 2, 2022, July 4, 2023 and March 13, 2024, such that an aggregate of 5,562,419 RSUs granted to such directors, officers and employees will now vest on June 1, 2025 rather than on May 1, 2025. All other terms of such RSUs remain the same.

Description of Business

 

Corporate Information

 

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. On February 11, 2010, the Company changed its name to Liberty Silver Corp and subsequently, 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 300-1055 West Hastings Street Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2E9, and its telephone number is 604.417.7952. The Company’s website is www.bunkerhillmining.com. Information appearing on the website is not incorporated by reference into this report.

 

Overview and Outlook

 

Our primary focus is the development and restart of our 100% owned Bunker Hill Mine (the “Bunker Hill Mine”) in Kellogg, Idaho, USA. The Bunker Mine was 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 mineral exploration at the Bunker Hill Mine. The Company has moved into the development stage concurrent with (i) purchasing the mine and a process plant, (ii) completing successive technical and economic studies, including an early-stage analysis that assesses the viability of a potential mining project, providing a preliminary assessment of its economic and technical feasibility (“Prefeasibility Study”), (iii) delineating mineral reserves, and (iv) advancing the construction of the facilities for commissioning and operations in the second half of 2025, with nameplate 1,800 tons per day production expected in the first half of 2026.

 

In May 2024, we initiated a mineral resource expansion and exploration diamond drilling program in support of the staged restart plan. The program included 8,975 feet of core to be drilled from underground to further define and expand a portion of the existing resource that is in close proximity to where initial mining will occur. It is anticipated that the exploration program will continue in the second half of 2025.

 

As of May 14, 2025, the Company is in the regulatory approval process with the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture for its previously announced restructuring of outstanding debt alongside an equity financing of up to $45,000,000 and a new standby facility agreement for $10,000,000. There can be no assurance that the debt restructure and financing plan will be timely finalized, or on what specific final terms, or if at all.

 

Current External Factors Impacting our Business

 

In 2022, the United States Geological Survey included zinc one of the primary metals at Bunker Hill along with lead and silver as a critical material that is essential to the U.S. economy and national security, because the domestic supply chain is vulnerable to disruption due to China’s supply dominance. Zinc uses include incorporation in metal products, rubber and medicines. About three-fourths of zinc used is consumed as metal, mainly as a coating to protect iron and steel from corrosion (galvanized metal), as alloying metal to make bronze and brass, as zinc-based die casting alloy, and as rolled zinc.

 

Due to the dominance of China over certain critical materials production, including zinc, the U.S. federal government is taking certain actions to support the domestic critical materials supply chain, including tax incentives and federal loan programs specifically designed to support critical materials producers, and to strengthen the defense industrial base with respect to critical minerals including zinc. During the first three months of 2025, we have monitored the many Trump Administration actions, including executive orders covering critical minerals and materials, including zinc, which is one of the materials our Bunker Hill Mine deposit, along with silver and lead. On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued the “Unleashing American Energy” Executive Order, which included (1) several urgent critical mineral directives, including the immediate review of all agency actions that potentially burden the development of domestic energy resources with particular attention to critical minerals; (2) directing the Secretary of Energy to ensure that critical mineral projects, including the processing of critical minerals, receive consideration for federal support; and (3) directing the Secretary of Defense to consider the needs of the U.S. in supplying and maintaining the national defense stockpile to provide a robust supply of critical minerals, which will create jobs and prosperity at home, strengthen supply chains for the U.S. and its allies, and reduce the global influence of malign and adversarial states.

 

In March 2025, President Trump issued the “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production” Executive Order. In this Executive Order, President Trump directed the federal agencies, including the EXIM Bank, to unlock the permitting, funding and issuance of off-take agreements for critical minerals. The Executive Order includes near-term actions to be determined and implemented by the federal agencies to mobilize capital for mineral producers and create off-take agreements for the strategic stockpiling of minerals critical to the United States’ defense, technology and energy.

 

In addition, the impacts of other external influences (such as Tariffs, the Russia/Ukraine war and conflicts in the Middle East, including the Israel war) have further focused the U.S. government on the importance of implementing secure domestic supply chains, including for critical and base metal materials. The Company monitors and participates in these initiatives as they are critical to the production of domestic defense and other technologies.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis provides 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 three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024.

 

 24 

 

 

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

 

Revenue

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, we generated no revenue.

 

Expenses

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, we reported total operating expenses of $2,909,374 and $3,787,631, respectively. The decrease in total operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in the volume of transactions associated with construction of the process plant during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

 

Net Income and Comprehensive Income

 

We experienced a net loss of $6,346,213 for the three months ending March 31, 2025 (compared to $5,582,036 for the three months ended March 31, 2024). The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was impacted by a loss on revaluation of the Silver Loan of $6,068,932 compared to $nil and $nil respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The period ended March 31, 2025, included a gain in derivative liability of $462,763 (loss of $263,943 for the three months ended March 31, 2024) which was driven by warrants with an exercise price less than the market price of Bunker Hill Mining Corp’s closing price on March 31, 2025, nearing their expiry. The three months ended March 31, 2025, included a $4,699,460 gain ($217,000 loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024) on the revaluation of the stream debenture due to updated key assumptions such as commodity prices and timing of production. The three months ended March 31, 2025, included interest income of $63,329 (compared to $291,330 for the three months ended March 31, 2024) a decrease from the comparable period as cash and restricted cash balances were lower.

 

We had a comprehensive loss of $4,313,671 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ($5,293,664 for the month three ended March 31, 2024). Comprehensive income for the three months ending March 31, 2025, is inclusive of a $2,032,542 gain on change in fair value on own credit risk ($288,372 for the three months ended March 31, 2024).

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Going Concern

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $116,712,934 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. The Company does not have sufficient cash to fund normal operations and meet debt obligations for the next 12 months without deferring payment on certain current liabilities and/or raising additional funds. The Company has announced a debt restructuring and equity offering, however, there is no assurance these transactions will be finalized, and if finalized the timing of such finalizations. 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 complete a near term financing, as well as generate profitable operations in the future and to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

These condensed interim 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.

 

Restructuring of Outstanding Debt alongside up to $45,000,000 Equity Financing and Provision of New Standby Facility

  

As of May 14, 2025, the Company is in the regulatory approval process with the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture for its previously announced restructuring of outstanding debt alongside an equity financing of up to $45,000,000 and a new standby facility agreement for $10,000,000. The planned brokered private placement equity offering for minimum aggregate gross proceeds of $10,000,000 (C$14,370,000), and up to maximum aggregate gross proceeds of $15,000,000 (C$21,555,000) (the “Brokered Offering”). Teck has agreed to contribute, through a non-brokered private placement, $2 for every $1 raised through the Brokered Offering in aggregate, with a minimum lead order of $6,600,000 and total gross proceeds of up to $30,000,000 (C$43,110,000)1 (collectively, the “Non-Brokered Offering” and together with the Brokered Offering, the “Private Placements”), subject to shareholder approval, closing of the debt restructuring transactions and other customary closing conditions. Proceeds will be used to support the construction, start-up, and ramp-up of the Project. In connection with the Non-Brokered Offering, the Company and Teck have amended the subscription agreement dated March 5, 2025, to, among other things, amend the closing condition thereunder requiring the Company to raise aggregate gross proceeds of at least $20,000,000 under the Brokered Offering to a minimum of at least $10,000,000.

 

In accordance with the TSX-V policies, the approval of the Company’s stockholders will be required with respect to Teck becoming a Control Person (over 20% ownership in the Company). In lieu of a special meeting of its stockholders, the Company intends to obtain the written consent of disinterested stockholders holding more than 50% of the current issued and outstanding Common Shares (the “Stockholder Consent”), which Stockholder Consent will exclude any votes held by Teck and its Affiliates or Associates (each as defined in the TSX-V policies).

 

Also in connection with the Non-Brokered Offering, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Silver Valley Metals Corp. (“Silver Valley”) announced its intention to enter into a standby facility agreement with Teck (or an affiliate thereof) pursuant to which, among other things, Teck will provide an uncommitted revolving standby prepayment facility of up to $10,000,000 to the Company (the “SP Facility”), which will be available to the Company until the earlier of (i) June 30, 2028, and (ii) the date on which the Project hits 90% of name plate capacity or the date on which the Company is cash positive for a quarter, unless terminated earlier by Teck. The SP Facility will bear interest at a to-be-agreed-basis per annum, calculated and capitalized quarterly.

The Company announced its intention to restructure, either directly or indirectly, its existing debt financing package with Sprott Streaming and certain other creditors on the following principal terms:

 

  a. the amendment and restatement of the Series 1 secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $6,000,000 (collectively, the “Series 1 CDs”) previously issued to Sprott Streaming and certain other creditors, maturing on March 31, 2028, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the rate of interest of the Series 1 CDs will be reduced from 7.5% to 5.0% per annum, (ii) the current conversion price, being the U.S. dollar equivalent of C$0.30 per Common Share, will be reduced to equal the Offering Price, and (iii) certain prepayment and conversion terms will be amended;

  c. the exchange of a $46,000,000 multi-metals stream previously entered into with Sprott Streaming, which currently applies to up to 10% of payable metals sold from the Project and expires on June 23, 2063 (the “Stream”), for the Series 3 CDs, the Sprott Tranche II Shares and the Third Royalty referred to and defined below under paragraph (A) below;
  d. the cancellation of the royalty put option previously granted to Sprott Streaming, pursuant to which, among other things, upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of the Series 1 CDs and the Series 2 CDs, Sprott Streaming may require the Company to purchase the First Royalty (as defined below);

  f. the amendment and restatement of the loan agreement with respect to the existing senior secured credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $21,000,000 advanced by Sprott Streaming (the “Debt Facility”), maturing on June 30, 2030 and secured by first-ranking interests and charges on all of the property and assets of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Silver Valley Metals Corp., pursuant to which (i) the sliding scale royalty payable in connection with advances thereunder (the “Second Royalty Amendments”) will be fixed at 1.5% for both the primary and secondary claims comprising the Project and (ii) the Company’s royalty buyback option thereunder will be cancelled; the foregoing amendments will also be reflected in an amendment to the additional royalty granted to Sprott in connection with the Debt Facility,
  g. the Company and Monetary Metals Bond III LLC (together with its affiliates, “Monetary Metals”) enter into an amending agreement to the note purchase agreement dated August 8, 2024, as previously by amended by a first amending agreement dated November 11, 2024 (the “MM NPA”), the parties intend to, among other things, (i) reduce the interest rate payable on advances under the existing loan by Monetary Metals to Silver Valley Metals Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in the aggregate principal amount equal to the U.S. dollar equivalent of up to 1,200,000 troy ounces of silver (the “Silver Loan”) from 15% to 13.5%; (ii) clarify the calculation of the cash flow sweep; (iii) extend the availability date for advances of the Silver Loan from January 31, 2025 to June 30, 2025; and (v) in connection with any advances of the Silver Loan, to provide for the issuance of bonus warrants (“Bonus Warrants”) in such number and on such terms as to be agreed upon between the parties before issuance and subject to prior approval from the TSX-V (however, in any event, the aggregate number of Bonus Warrants issued to Monetary Metals under the Silver Loan will not exceed the maximum amount of 3,000,000 allowable under the MM NPA). 

 

In consideration for, and in connection with, the Debt Amendments, the Company intends to, either directly or indirectly:

 

  a. in consideration for the exchange of the Stream pursuant to the terms of a recapitalization agreement to be entered into among the Company, Teck, and Sprott Streaming, (i) issue to Sprott Streaming, on a private placement basis, two senior secured Series 3 convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 (the “Series 3 CDs”) which, once issued, will (a) mature on June 30, 2030, (b) bear interest at an accrued rate of 5.0%, which interest shall be capitalized until the beginning of 2028 or an event of default, and (c) otherwise have terms substantially similar to the terms of the Series 1 CDs, (ii) issue up to 200,000,000 Common Shares at the Offering Price (“Sprott Tranche II Shares”) and (iii) grant Sprott Streaming an additional 1.65% life-of-mine gross revenue royalty on both the primary and secondary claims comprising the Project (the “Third Royalty”);
  b. enter into a debt settlement agreement with Sprott Streaming, pursuant to which, among other things, Sprott Streaming will convert $6,000,000 outstanding under the Debt Facility, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in consideration of up to 58,142,857 Common Shares at the Offering Price (“Sprott Tranche I Shares”) and the Second Royalty Amendments (the “Sprott Loan Conversion”);
  c. enter into an amended and restated intercreditor agreement with, among others, the Company, Teck, Monetary Metals and Sprott Streaming pursuant to which certain payment terms under the First Royalty, the Second Royalty Amendment, Third Royalty, the Series 1CDs, the Series 2 CDs, the Series 3 CDs and the Debt Facility will be waived, restricted or otherwise revised during the term in which the Company has any outstanding obligations owing under the SP Facility;

 

There can be no assurance that the debt restructure and financing plan will be timely finalized, or on what specific final terms, or if at all.

 

Current Assets and Total Assets

 

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had total current assets were $6,806,787, compared to total current assets of $9,332,639 at December 31, 2024 – an decrease of $2,525,852; and total assets of $102,926,078, compared to total assets of $97,601,550 at December 31, 2024 – an increase of $5,324,528. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our current assets decreased due to cash expenditures on the process plant and additions to the Bunker Hill Mine. Total assets increased primarily as a result of investing activities in the process plant as well as the Bunker Hill Mine improvements, which was partially offset by the decrease in cash.

 

Current Liabilities and Total Liabilities

 

As of March 31, 2025, our total current liabilities of $24,980,063 and total liabilities of $158,201,429, compared to total current liabilities of $29,644,412 and total liabilities of $149,736,915 at December 31, 2024. Total liabilities increased primarily due to the $11 million drawdown on the Sprott debt facility, the issuance and $3.1 million drawdown on the Teck promissory note, and the $$6.1 million revaluation of the silver loan, which was somewhat offset by the accretion of the stream debenture and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to timing of invoices and payments.

 

 26 

 

 

Working Capital and Shareholders’ Deficit

 

As of March 31, 2025, we had a working capital deficit of $18,173,276 and a shareholders’ deficiency of $55,275,351, compared to $20,311,773 and $52,135,365, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. The working capital deficit as of March 31, 2025, was primarily due to cash expenditures on the process plant and additions to the Bunker Hill Mine. The shareholders’ deficiency increased primarily due to the net loss for the period ended March 31, 2025.

 

Based on our limited cash resources and history of losses, our existing cash resources are insufficient to enable us to continue operations for the next 12 months as a going concern. In the near term, we are pursuing possible financing and strategic options, including, but not limited to, the restructuring of the Company’s outstanding debt alongside an equity financing and new standby facility discussed above. On a medium to long term basis, We are pursuing a possible debt funding package from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (“EXIM”), potential future equity financings and other strategic initiatives. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the restructuring of the Company’s outstanding debt and these financings and/or strategic transactions. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt as to whether existing cash resources and working capital are sufficient to enable the Company to continue its operations for the next 12 months as a going concern. Ultimately, if the Company is unable to secure sufficient additional financial resources, the Company will need to curtail or suspend its development or operations plans regarding the Bunker Hill Mine. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying Financial Statements. Such adjustments could be material.

 

Cash Flow

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net cash decrease of $2,929,739, primarily due to cash expenditures on the process plant, and additions to the Bunker Hill Mine, offset by $11,000,000 of cash provided by financing activities relating to drawings on the loan facility and $3,095,097 relating to the issuance of the Teck promissory note.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Share Issuance

 

On April 14, 2025, the Company issued 187,500 shares of common stock in connection with its election to satisfy interest payments under the outstanding convertible debentures for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

 

RSU Amendments

 

On May 1, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the vesting schedule of certain RSUs previously granted to certain directors and officers of the Company under the Company’s amended and restated restricted stock unit incentive plan (the “RSU Plan”) on November 2, 2022, July 4, 2023 and March 13, 2024, such that an aggregate of 5,562,419 RSUs granted to such directors, officers and employees will now vest on June 1, 2025 rather than on May 1, 2025. All other terms of such RSUs remain the same.

 

Critical accounting estimates

 

The preparation of the 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 and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported 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 key 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 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 derivative liability, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.

 

 27 

 

 

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, expected equity volatility, discount for lack of marketability, credit spread.

 

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 of the silver loan use inputs to the valuation model that include risk-free rates, spot and futures prices of minerals, and expected volatility in minerals prices.

 

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 annual invoice, the Company will then reassess its estimate for future periods. Given the nature, complexity and variability of the various actual cost items included in the invoice, the Company has used the most recent invoice as its estimate of the water treatment costs for future periods.

 

Incremental Borrowing rate

 

The Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of future lease payments. Actual results may be different from estimates.

 

Borrowing Cost Capitalization rate

 

The Company makes estimates to determine the percentage of borrowing costs that are capitalized into property plant and equipment. Actual results may be different.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’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 Exchange Act 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 Exchange Act 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.

 

 28 

 

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company made an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting for the timely alert 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 conclusion that the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.

 

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 report. 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: i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; ii) 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 iii) 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 CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls, procedures and internal control over financial reporting 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 its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

With the participation of the CEO and CFO, the Company’s management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025 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 SEC’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 CEO and CFO have concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2025.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Other than as described below, neither the Company nor its property is the subject of any current, pending, or threatened legal proceedings. The Company is not aware of any other legal proceedings in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate or security holder of the Company, is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

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.

 

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.
