PEA For The Bunker Hill Mine

TORONTO – Bunker Hill Mining Corp. announced an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Bunker Hill Mine, showing materially improved financial returns, free cash flow, and unit costs. The updated PEA contemplates a $44 million initial capital cost (including 20% contingency) to rapidly restart the mine over an 18-month period, generating approximately $25 million of annual average free cash flow over an extended 11-year mine life while producing nearly 1 billion zinc equivalent pounds of metal, including over 8 million ounces of silver. Metal price assumptions in the updated PEA remain unchanged from the PEA announced in April 2021 and published in June 2021, thereby not reflecting significant increases in zinc and lead prices since that time.

Sam Ash, CEO, said, “We are very pleased to report the results of this summer’s mine plan optimization work and its significant positive effect on estimated financial returns, free cash flow, and cost position relative to April’s PEA. This is an important development milestone and affirms further the significant value to be realized from the rapid restart of the Bunker Hill Mine for our shareholders as well as our local partners and stakeholders.”
