爱达荷州凯洛格和不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华，2024年12月20日（环球新闻）——邦克山矿业公司（“邦克山”或“公司”）(TSX-V: BNKR |OTCQB：BHLL)宣布已根据Sprott Private Resource Streaming and Royalty Corp.（“Sprott”）的高级担保信贷额度（“备用额度”）垫付第二批500万美元，根据该额度，Sprott已同意在备用额度下垫付最高2100万美元，以资助公司位于爱达荷州凯洛格的邦克山矿（“邦克山矿”）的开发成本，但须满足某些条件。
总裁兼首席执行官Sam Ash表示：“随着我们进入邦克山高产的一年，我们很高兴地报告Sprott的第二笔500万美元的预付款，并提供我们现场工作的最新情况，特别是在地下。我们已经在靠近Russell Portal入口的上部矿山的UTZ区域准备了5个采场，并且即将完成主要坡道的岩土工程稳定，该坡道切断了Cate断层。一旦完成，该队将完成将坡道修复至8-2层的工作，并准备在该层选定采场进行采矿。”

Grid Power现在已经连接到加工和相关设施，除其他外，还可以沿着传送带建立外部照明。凯洛格厂的工作继续进行，包括传送带、破碎塔、精矿装载设施和尾矿压滤机。而在选矿厂内部，夹层的最终安装是在剩余的浮动单元放置的预期中完成的。管道和电气配件继续安装，同时为磨机安装润滑系统。

进度更新-地下
在Wardner的采矿基地，该公司的地下采矿团队已经完成了坡道的稳定工作，因为它横跨Cate断层。一旦最后的灌浆完成，电源和通风重新连接，团队将重新开始对8-2层的坡道进行修复，然后准备在那里进行机械化长孔采矿的采场。
在靠近采矿基地和Russell Portal以及UTZ地区，团队准备了五个面进行机械化切割和充填采矿，同时储存在坡道修复和相关开发工作期间收集的地下矿石。基本的准备工作已经开始，目的是确保在地雷重新启动的下一个调试和增加阶段最大限度地选择地雷计划。
公司计划在2025年第一季度发布更新的矿产资源估算，同时继续对矿山计划进行进一步优化。

Forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the Company's objectives, goals or future plans, including the restart and development of the Bunker Hill Mine and planned geotechnical work; the achievement of future short-term, medium-term and long-term operational strategies; the Company issuing an updated resource estimate in Q1 2025; further draws by the Company on the Standby Facility, including the Company satisfying any or all of the conditions in connection therewith; and the Company securing potential offtake or similar financing for an additional $30 million from its strategic investors. Forward-looking statements reflect material expectations and assumptions, including, without limitation, expectations and assumptions relating to: Bunker Hill's ability to receive sufficient project financing for the restart and development of the Bunker Hill Mine on acceptable terms or at all; further drilling and geotechnical work supporting the planned restart and operations at the Bunker Hill Mine; the future price of metals; and the stability of the financial and capital markets. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those risks and uncertainties identified in public filings made by Bunker Hill with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”) and with applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities, and the following: the Company's ability to operate as a going concern and its history of losses; the Company's inability to raise additional capital for project activities, including through equity financings, concentrate offtake financings or otherwise; the fluctuating price of commodities; capital market conditions; restrictions on labor and its effects on international travel and supply chains; failure to identify mineral resources; further geotechnical work not supporting the continued development of the Bunker Hill Mine or the results described herein; failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves; the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results; the Company's ability to raise sufficient project financing, on acceptable terms or at all, to restart and develop the Bunker Hill Mine and the risks of not basing a production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability, resulting in increased uncertainty due to multiple technical and economic risks of failure which are associated with this production decision including, among others, areas that are analyzed in more detail in a feasibility study, such as applying economic analysis to resources and reserves, more detailed metallurgy and a number of specialized studies in areas such as mining and recovery methods, market analysis, and environmental and community impacts and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit, with no guarantee that production will begin as anticipated or at all or that anticipated production costs will be achieved; the Company requiring additional capital expenditures than anticipated, resulting in delays in the expected restart timeline; failure to commence production would have a material adverse impact on the Company's ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund operations; failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Company's cash flow and future profitability; delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals; political risks; changes in equity markets; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future; the inability of the Company to budget and manage its liquidity in light of the failure to obtain additional financing, including the ability of the Company to complete the payments pursuant to the terms of the agreement to acquire the Bunker Hill Mine complex; inflation; changes in exchange rates; fluctuations in commodity prices; delays in the development of projects; and capital, operating and reclamation costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry. Although the Company believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking statements in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements or information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all, including as to whether or when the Company will achieve its project finance initiatives, or as to the actual size or terms of those financing initiatives, or whether and when the Company will achieve its operational and construction targets. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law. No stock exchange, securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved the information contained herein.
