Frequently asked questions
What is Bunker Hill Mining Corp.'s core asset?
The company's sole material asset is the Bunker Hill Mine in Kellogg, Idaho — a historic underground mine that produced lead, zinc, and silver for nearly 90 years before closing in 1981. It is currently being dewatered and rehabilitated for a restart. The mine sits on patented claims in the Coeur d'Alene Mining District.
Who makes investment decisions at Bunker Hill Mining?
CEO Sam Ash leads capital allocation and strategic decisions. Prior to joining Bunker Hill, Ash held senior roles at resource-focused investment firms including Endeavour Financial. The board, chaired by Richard Williams, includes members with backgrounds in mining operations and institutional finance.
Does Bunker Hill Mining participate in fund commitments or only direct development?
Bunker Hill does not commit capital to external funds. All capital is directed toward a single direct development: the Bunker Hill Mine restart. The company functions as an operating entity, not a diversified investment vehicle. It raises capital through equity and debt offerings to fund construction and working capital.
What metals does Bunker Hill target and why?
The mine's orebody contains silver, lead, and zinc. These metals are critical to energy transition infrastructure — including batteries, solar panels, and grid storage. The company has positioned its restart narrative around supplying US-sourced critical minerals to domestic smelters.
How is Bunker Hill Mining structured as a public company?
Bunker Hill trades on the TSX Venture Exchange (ticker: BNKR) and the OTCQB in the United States. It is not a family office or private partnership — it is a publicly held development-stage mining company. Retail and institutional investors can access its equity through standard brokerage accounts.
How does Bunker Hill source offtake for its production?
In 2022, Bunker Hill signed concentrate offtake agreements with Teck Resources' Trail smelting complex in British Columbia, covering zinc and lead production. The proximity of the Trail facility — roughly 150 miles from the mine site — reduces transportation costs and provides a known processing route in a stable jurisdiction.
What is Bunker Hill's known posture on co-investments or joint ventures?
The firm has not disclosed a formal co-investment program. It has, however, utilized non-dilutive state-level financing: in 2023, it closed a $26 million loan through the Idaho State Bond Bank, a mechanism that allows public-entity financing for projects that create local economic benefit without giving up equity.
