1. Nature and Continuance of Operations and Going Concern

Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (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 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 1P1. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the Company had one subsidiary, Silver Valley Metals Corp. (formerly American Zinc Corp.), an Idaho corporation created to facilitate the work being conducted at the Bunker Hill Mine in Kellogg, Idaho.

The Company was incorporated for the purpose of engaging in mineral exploration activities. It continues to work at developing its project with a view towards putting it into production.

Going Concern:

These unaudited 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 $75,372,036 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Additionally, the Company owes a total of $17,497,236 to the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) (see Note 6) that is classified as current liability unless the Company can consummate financial assurances that would reclassify $12,000,000 of this liability to long-term debt. The Company owes a total of $3,540,852, net of discount, to the EPA that is classified as long-term debt. 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. 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.

Management is considering various financing alternatives including, but not limited to, raising capital through the capital markets and debt financing. These 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.

The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtain additional financing to continue operations, explore and develop the mineral properties and the discovery, development, and sale of reserves.

COVID-19:

The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of epidemics, pandemics, or other health crises, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.

The Russia/Ukraine Crisis:

The Company’s operations could be adversely affected by the effects of the escalating Russia/Ukraine crisis and the effects of sanctions imposed against Russia or that country’s retributions against those sanctions, embargos or further-reaching impacts upon energy prices, food prices and market disruptions. 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 energy bans, embargos and restrictions imposed by governments. In addition, the crisis could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of the United States 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. 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 United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States 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, 2021. The interim results for the period ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

3. Equipment

Equipment consists of the following:

Schedule of Equipment

The total depreciation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 was $54,015 and $29,830, respectively.

Pend Oreille Process Plant

On January 25, 2022, the Company entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”) for the purchase of a comprehensive package of equipment and parts inventory from its Pend Oreille site (the “Pend Oreille Mill”). The package comprises substantially all processing equipment of value located at the site, including complete crushing, grinding and flotation circuits suitable for a planned ~1,500 ton-per-day operation at Bunker Hill, and total inventory of nearly 10,000 components and parts for mill, assay lab, conveyer, field instruments, and electrical spares. The MOU outlined a purchase price under two scenarios, at Teck’s option: an all-cash $2,750,000 purchase price, or a $3,000,000 purchase price comprised of cash and Bunker Hill shares. Each option includes a $500,000 non-refundable deposit, which was paid by the Company in January 2022.

On March 31, 2022, the Company reached an agreement with a subsidiary of Teck to satisfy the remaining purchase price for the Pend Oreille Mill by way of an equity issuance of the Company. Teck will receive 10,416,667 units of the Company (the “Teck Units”) at a deemed issue price of C$0.30 per unit. Each Teck Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (the “Teck Warrants”). Each whole Teck Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of C$0.37 per common share for a period of three years. The equity issuance occurred on May 13, 2022.

4. Right-of-Use Asset

Right-of-use asset consists of the following:

Schedule of Right-of-use Asset

The total depreciation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 was $24,442 and $26,595, respectively.

5. Mining Interests

Bunker Hill Mine Complex

The Company purchased the Bunker Hill Mine (the “Mine”) in January 2022, as described below.

Prior to purchasing the Mine, the Company had entered into a series of agreements with Placer Mining Corporation (“Placer Mining”), the prior owner, for the lease and option to purchase the Mine. The first of these agreements was announced on August 28, 2017, with subsequent amendments and/or extensions announced on November 1, 2019, July 7, 2020, and November 20, 2020.

Under the terms of the November 20, 2020 amended agreement (the “Amended Agreement”), a purchase price of $7,700,000 was agreed, with $5,700,000 payable in cash (with an aggregate of $300,000 to be credited toward the purchase price of the Mine as having been previously paid by the Company) and $2,000,000 in Common Shares of the Company. The Company agreed to make an advance payment of $2,000,000, credited towards the purchase price of the Mine, which had the effect of decreasing the remaining amount payable to purchase the Mine to an aggregate of $3,400,000 payable in cash and $2,000,000 in Common Shares of the Company.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

The Amended Agreement also required payments pursuant to an agreement with the EPA whereby for so long as the Company leases, owns and/or occupies the Mine, the Company would make payments to the EPA on behalf of Placer Mining in satisfaction of the EPA’s claim for historical water treatment cost recovery in accordance with the Settlement Agreement reached with the EPA in 2018. Immediately prior to the purchase of the Mine, the Company’s liability to EPA in this regard totaled $11,000,000.

The Company completed the purchase of the Mine on January 7, 2022. The terms of the purchase price were modified to $5,400,000 in cash, from $3,400,000 of cash and $2,000,000 of Common Shares. Concurrent with the purchase of the Mine, the Company assumed incremental liabilities of $8,000,000 to the EPA, consistent with the terms of the amended Settlement Agreement with the EPA that was executed in December 2021 (see “EPA Settlement Agreement” section below).

The $5,400,000 contract cash paid at purchase was the $7,700,000 less the $2,000,000 deposit and $300,000 credit given by the seller for prior years’ maintenance payments. The carrying cost of the Mine is comprised of the following:

Land Purchase

On March 3, 2022, the Company purchased a 225-acre surface land parcel for $202,000 which includes the surface rights to portions of 24 patented mining claims, for which the Company already owns the mineral rights.

6. Environmental Protection Agency Agreement

As a part of the lease of the Mine, the Company was required to make payments pursuant to an agreement with the EPA whereby for so long as the Company leases, owns and/or occupies the Mine, the Company will make payments to the EPA on behalf of Placer Mining in satisfaction of the EPA’s claim for cost recovery. These payments, if all are made, will total $20,000,000. The agreement called for payments starting with $1,000,00030 days after a fully ratified agreement was signed (which payment was made) followed by $2,000,000 on November 1, 2018, and $3,000,000 on each of the next five anniversaries with a final $2,000,000 payment on November 1, 2024. The November 1, 2018, December 1, 2018, June 1, 2019, November 1, 2019, November 1, 2020, and November 1, 2021, payments were not made, and the Company engaged in discussions with the EPA in an effort to reschedule these payments in ways that enable the sustainable operation of the Mine as a viable long-term business.

The EPA liability schedule in effect at March 31, 2022 was:

Schedule Of Environmental Protection Agency Agreement Liability

Interest is accrued at EPA superfund interest rates, which was 0.10% and 2.22% for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest expense for those periods was $5,028 and $47,982, respectively. At March 31, 2022 interest of $311,530 is included in interest payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Effective December 19, 2021, the Company entered into an amended Settlement Agreement between the Company, Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, US Department of Justice, and the EPA (the “Amended Settlement”). Upon the effectivity 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 historical environmental response costs at Mine by the EPA. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Settlement, the Company paid $2,000,000 to the EPA on January 7, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Settlement, an additional $17,000,000 will be paid by the Company to the EPA on the following dates:

Schedule Of Amended Settlement Environmental Protection Agency Agreement

The Amended Settlement included additional payment for outstanding water treatment costs (described below) that have been incurred over the period from 2018 through 2020. This $2,900,000 payment was to be made within 90 days of execution of the Amended Settlement.

In addition to the changes in payment terms and schedule, the Amended Settlement included a commitment by the Company to secure $17,000,000 of financial assurance 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. If the Company does not post the Financial Assurance within 90 days of execution of the Amended Settlement, it must issue an irrevocable letter of credit for $9,000,000. The EPA may draw on this letter of credit after an additional 90 days if the Company is unable to either put the Financial Assurance in place or make payment for the full $17,000,000 of remaining historical cost recovery sums. In the event neither occurs, the terms of the initial Settlement Agreement will be reinstated. On March 22, 2022, the Company reported that in consultation with the EPA, it has committed to meet the $2,900,000 payment and Financial Assurance obligations by 180 days from the effective date of the Amended Settlement Agreement. At March 31, 2022, the terms of the initial Settlement Agreement were still in place.

The Company completed the purchase of the Mine on January 7, 2022 (see note 5). The terms of the purchase price were modified to $5,400,000 in cash, from $3,400,000 of cash and $2,000,000 of Common Shares. The purchase price of the mine totaled $7,342,638 was capitalized, after taking into effect the deposits previously made, the credits given and closing costs. Additionally, a total of $442,147 of legal costs were capitalized. Concurrent with the purchase of the Mine, the Company assumed the balance of the EPA liability totaling $17,000,000 (after the payment of the $2,000,000 on January 7, 2022), an increase of $8,000,000 of which $3,000,000 is current liability and $5,000,000 is long-term in nature. The long-term portion was discounted at an interest rate of 16.5% to arrive at a net present value of $3,402,425 after discount. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, $138,427 of the discount was amortized to interest expense.

At March 31, 2022, the total EPA cost recovery liability was $17,000,000, less $1,457,147 discount on the long-term portion, or $15,540,853.

The current portion of the EPA cost recovery liability at March 31, 2022 was $12,000,000 as detailed below:

Schedule Of Environmental Cost Recover Liability

The balance of the NPV of the long-term portion of the EPA cost recovery payable at March 31, 2022 was $3,540,853 detailed below:

Schedule Of Net Present Vale of Environmental Protection Agency Agreement

In addition to these payments, the Company makes a monthly accrual of $165,000 to cover the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (“IDEQ”) (formerly performed and invoiced by the EPA) estimated costs of treating water at the water treatment facility. The Company also pays an agreed-upon monthly amount of $140,000, with a true-up to be recorded and paid by the Company once the actual annual costs are determined each year.

The balance of EPA/IDEQ water treatment liability at March 31, 2022 was $5,185,706 as detailed below:

7. Promissory Note Payable and Convertible Debentures

On September 22, 2021, the Company issued a non-convertible promissory note in the amount of $2,500,000 bearing interest of 15% per annum and payable at maturity. The promissory note matured on March 15, 2022; however, the note holder agreed to accept $500,000 payment, which the Company paid, by April 15, 2022, and the remaining principal and interest was deferred to June 20, 2022. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $92,466 and $nil, respectively. At March 31, 2022 interest of $195,205 is included in interest payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

$50,000,000 Project Finance Package

On December 20, 2021, the Company executed a non-binding term sheet outlining a $50,000,000 project finance package with Sprott Private Resource Streaming and Royalty Corp. (“SRSR”).

The non-binding term sheet with SRSR outlined a $50,000,000 project financing package that the Company expects to fulfill the majority of its funding requirements to restart the Mine. The financing package consisted of an $8,000,000 royalty convertible debenture (the “RCD”), a $5,000,000 convertible debenture (the “CD”), and a multi-metals stream of up to $37,000,000 (the “Stream”, together with the RCD and the CD, the “Project Financing Package”). Total finance costs for legal fees associated with the two convertible debentures was $795,100, of which $67,435 associated with the derivative portions of the financing was recognized as a period expense and $727,665 was allocated to the CD and RCD pro-ratably based on their fair value on the issuance date, with $300,579 and $427,086 allocated, respectively.

$8,000,000 Royalty Convertible Debenture

The Company closed the $8,000,000 RCD on January 7, 2022. The RCD bears interest at an annual rate of 9.0%, payable in cash or Common Shares at the Company’s option, until such time that SRSR elects to convert a royalty, with such conversion option expiring at the earlier of advancement of the Stream or 18 months. In the event of conversion, the RCD will cease to exist and the Company will grant a royalty for 1.85% 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 (the “SRSR Royalty”). A 1.35% rate will apply to claims outside of these areas. The RCD is secured by a share pledge of the Company’s operating subsidiary, Silver Valley, until a full security package was put in place concurrent with the consummation of the CD. In the event of non-conversion, the principal of the RCD will be repayable in cash.

$6,000,000 Convertible Debenture

The Company closed the $6,000,000 CD on January 28, 2022, which was increased from the previously-announced $5,000,000. The Convertible Debenture bears interest at an annual rate of 7.5%, payable in cash or shares at the Company’s option, and matures on July 7, 2023. The CD is secured by a pledge of the Company’s properties and assets. Until the closing of the Stream, the CD is convertible into Common Shares at a price of C$0.30 per Common Share, subject to stock exchange approval. Alternatively, SRSR may elect to retire the CD with the cash proceeds from the Stream. The Company may elect to repay the CD early; if SRSR elects not to exercise its conversion option at such time, a minimum of 12 months of interest would apply.

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

The Company determined that the conversion features in both the RCD and CD were not closely related to their respective debt components, and should be considered as derivatives under ASC 815. As such, these derivative components were bifurcated, accounted for and valued separately under the framework prescribed by ASC 820. The fair value of the derivative components in the RCD included the utilization of payable metal production estimates from the Company’s Preliminary Economic Assessment published in November 2022, and a Monte Carlo Simulation approach that included simulating the future prices of metals, and application of an appropriate project discount rate, as well as key inputs included in the table below. The value of the conversion feature in the CD was determined with the binomial model which involves the modelling of stock prices over the applicable term to evaluate the payouts under ‘hold’, ‘convert’, and ‘prepay’ decisions and select the decision that would maximize the fair value from a market participant’s perspective. The derivative components will be fair valued at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the statement of profit or loss.

The debt components of the RCD and CD were initially measured by first valuing the derivative components as described above, and are accounted for separately as financial liabilities that will be subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Consistent with the approach above, the following table summarizes the key valuation inputs:

Schedule of Key Valuation Inputs

The resulting fair values of the CD and RCD at the issuance dates, and as of March 31, 2022 were as follows:

Schedule of Fair Value Derivative Liability

The Company performs quarterly testing of the covenants in the RCD and CD.  The RCD and CD contain a covenant that the Company must maintain positive working capital at each quarterly filing date, as determined by the financial statements filed on such date.  As the Company would not have been in compliance with this covenant as of May 16, 2022 with respect to its working capital position as of March 31, 2022, it has obtained a waiver of this covenant from the holders of the RCD and CD until the next filing date, which is August 15, 2022.  The Company intends to ensure compliance with this covenant for future filing dates through the advance of the Stream or other long-term financing.

The Stream

A minimum of $27,000,000 and a maximum of $37,000,000 (the “Stream Amount”) will be made available under the Stream, at the Company’s option, once the conditions of availability of the Stream have been satisfied. If the Company draws the maximum funding of $37,000,000, the Stream would apply to 10% of payable metals sold until a minimum quantity of metal is delivered consisting of, individually, 55 million pounds of zinc, 35 million pounds of lead, and 1 million ounces of silver. Thereafter, the Stream would apply to 2% of payable metals sold. If the Company elects to draw less than $37,000,000 under the Stream, the percentage and quantities of payable metals streamed will adjust pro-rata. The delivery price of streamed metals will be 20% of the applicable spot price. 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 will be permitted to incur additional indebtedness of $15,000,000 and a cost over-run facility of $13,000,000 from other financing counterparties.

8. Lease Liability

The Company has an operating lease for office space that expires in 2022. Below is a summary of the Company’s lease liability as of March 31, 2022:

Schedule of Operating Lease Liability

In addition to the minimum monthly lease payments of C$13,504, the Company is required to make additional monthly payments amounting to C$12,505 for certain variable costs. The schedule below represents the Company’s obligations under the lease agreement in Canadian dollars.

Schedule of Lease Obligations

The monthly rental expenses are offset by rental income obtained through a series of short-term subleases held by the Company.

9. Capital Stock, Warrants and Stock Options

Authorized

The total authorized capital is as follows:

Issued and outstanding

In February 2021, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of units of the Company (the “February 2021 Offering”), issuing 19,576,360 units of the Company (“February 2021 Units”) at C$0.40 per February 2021 Unit for gross proceeds of $6,168,069 (C$7,830,544. Each February 2021 Unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each, “February 2021 Warrant”), which entitles the holder to acquire a common share of the Company at C$0.60 per common share for a period of five years. In connection with the February 2021 Offering, the Company incurred share issuance costs of $154,630 and issued 351,000 compensation options (the “February 2021 Compensation Options”). Each February 2021 Compensation Option is exercisable into one February 2021 Unit at an exercise price of C$0.40 for a period of three years.

The Company also issued 417,720 February 2021 Units to settle $132,000 of accrued liabilities at a deemed price of $0.45 based on the fair value of the units issued. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on debt settlement of $56,146.

For each financing, 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 marks to market at each financial reporting period. The change in fair value of the warrant is recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) as a gain or loss and is estimated using the Binomial model.

The warrant liabilities issued with private placements in June 2019, August 2019, August 2020, and February 2021 were revalued as at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 using the Binomial model and the following assumptions:

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.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

As stipulated in the agreement with the EPA and as described in Note 6, 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 (formerly 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. As at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $5,185,709 and $5,110,706, respectively, is payable to the EPA and IDEQ, which has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The majority of these amounts relate to the EPA, given that they primarily relate to costs incurred through December 2021.

The Company pays a lease under a lease agreement which expires in May 2022. Monthly rental expenses are approximately C$26,000 and are offset by rental income obtained through short-term subleases held by the Company. See note 8.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

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 it amended complaint on April 1, 2022. Placer Mining Corp. and Bunker Hill Mining Corp are named as co-defendants. Bunker Hill and Placer have until May 20, 2022 to respond to the amended filing. The Company believes Crescent Mining LLC’s lawsuit against Placer Mining Corp. is without merit and intends to defend Placer Mining Corp. vigorously pursuant to the Company’s indemnification of Placer Mining Corp in the Sale and Purchase agreement executed between the companies for Bunker Hill Mine on December 15, 2021.

On October 26, 2021, the Company asserted claims against Crescent in a separate lawsuit. Bunker Hill Mining Corporation v. Venzee Technologies Inc. et al, Case No. 2:21-cv-209-REP, filed in the same court on May 14, 2021. The Company has subsequently executed a tolling agreement with Venzee in exchange for dropping its lawsuit. 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.

13. Related party transactions

The Company’s key management personnel have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company and consists of the Company’s executive management team and management directors.

Schedule of Related Party Transactions

14. Subsequent Events

On April 1, 2022, the Company announced that it had closed the private placement of 37,849,325 Special Warrants, and concurrent non-brokered private placement of 1,471,644 units of the Company (the “Non-Brokered Units”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $11,796,297 (the “Offering”). Of this amount, $1,775,790 was received prior to the end of the quarter and is included in Subscriptions received in the equity section of the balance sheet.

Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 37,849,325 Special Warrants at a price of $0.30 per Special Warrant. Each Special Warrant is automatically exercisable (without payment of any further consideration and subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments) into one unit of the Company (a “Brokered Unit”) on the date that is the earlier of: (i) the date that is three business days following the date on which the Company has obtained both (A) a receipt from the Canadian security commission in each of the each of the provinces of Canada in which the purchasers of the Special Warrants were sold for a (final) short-form Prospectus qualifying the distribution of the common stock of the Company (“Common Shares”) and common stock purchase warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”) issuable upon exercise of the Special Warrants (the “Final Qualification Prospectus”); and (B) notification that the registration statement, of which this Prospectus is a part, has been declared effective by the SEC (the “Registration Statement”); and (ii) October 1, 2022.

Each Brokered Unit consists of one Common Share and one Warrant. Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) for C$0.37 until April 1, 2025. The Warrants shall also be exercisable on a cashless basis in the event the Registration ‎Statement has not been made effective by the SEC prior to the date of exercise.

In addition, pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 1,471,644 Non-Brokered Units at a price of $0.30 per Non-Brokered Units. Each Non-Brokered Unit consists of one Common Share and one Warrant. Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Warrant Share for C$0.37 until April 1, 2025.

Related parties, including management, directors and officers purchased 4,537,160 of Non-Brokered Units for a total of $1,361,148 of gross cash proceeds to the Company.

On May 13, 2022, the Company issued 10,416,667 units of the Company to Teck Resources Limited at an issue price of C$0.30 per unit, or C$3,125,000 (US$2,500,000), which together with the $500,000cash payment made in January 2022, satisfies the purchase price of $3,000,000and applicable sales tax for the Pend Oreille Mill. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of C$0.37 for a period of three years.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation

SPECIAL NOTE OF CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report, including statements in the following discussion, are what are known as “forward looking statements”, which are basically statements about the future. For that reason, these statements involve risk and uncertainty since no one can accurately predict the future. Words such as “plans,” “intends,” “will,” “hopes,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “expects “and the like often identify such forward looking statements, but are not the only indication that a statement is a forward-looking statement. Such forward looking statements include statements concerning the company’s plans and objectives with respect to the present and future operations of the company, and statements which express or imply that such present and future operations will or may produce revenues, income or profits. Numerous factors and future events could cause the company to change such plans and objectives or fail to successfully implement such plans or achieve such objectives, or cause such present and future operations to fail to produce revenues, income or profits. Therefore, the reader is advised that the following discussion should be considered in light of the discussion of risks and other factors contained in this report and in the company’s other filings with the sec. No statements contained in the following discussion should be construed as a guarantee or assurance of future performance or future results.

COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Response and Impact

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus global pandemic (“COVID-19”) in early 2020, in March 2020 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control issued guidelines to mitigate the spread and health consequences of COVID-19. The Company implemented changes to its operations and business practices to follow the guidelines and minimize physical interaction, including using technology to allow employees to work from home when possible. As long as they are required, the operational practices implemented could have an adverse impact on our results. The negative impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain, including on overall business and market conditions. There is uncertainty related to the potential additional impacts COVID-19 could have on our operations and financial results for the year.

The Russia/Ukraine Crisis:

The Company’s operations could be adversely affected by the effects of the escalating Russia/Ukraine crisis and the effects of sanctions imposed against Russia or that country’s retributions against those sanctions, embargos or further-reaching impacts upon energy prices, food prices and market disruptions. 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 energy bans, embargos and restrictions imposed by governments. In addition, the crisis could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of the United States 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.

Current Operations

Overview

The Company’s sole focus is the development and restart of its 100% owned flagship asset, the Bunker Hill mine (the “Mine”). The Mine remains 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 Mine is located within Operable Unit 2 of the Bunker Hill Superfund site (EPA National Priorities Listing IDD048340921), where cleanup activities have been completed.

In early 2020, a new management team comprised of former executives from Barrick Gold Corp. assumed leadership of the Company. Since that time, the Company has conducted multiple exploration campaigns, published multiple economic studies, purchased the Mine, entered into an agreement to purchase a process plant, and advanced the rehabilitation and development of the Mine. The Company is focused on completing the financing for, and execution of, a potential restart of operations at the Mine.

Lease and Purchase of the Bunker Hill Mine

The Company purchased the Mine in January 2022, as described below.

Prior to purchasing the Mine, the Company had entered into a series of agreements with Placer Mining Corporation (“Placer Mining”), the prior owner, for the lease and option to purchase the Mine. The first of these agreements was announced on August 28, 2017, with subsequent amendments and/or extensions announced on November 1, 2019, July 7, 2020, and November 20, 2020.

Under the terms of the November 20, 2020 amended agreement (the “Amended Agreement”), a purchase price of $7,700,000 was agreed, with $5,700,000 payable in cash (with an aggregate of $300,000 to be credited toward the purchase price of the Mine as having been previously paid by the Company) and $2,000,000 in Common Shares of the Company. The Company agreed to make an advance payment of $2,000,000, credited toward the purchase price of the Mine, which had the effect of decreasing the remaining amount payable to purchase the Mine to an aggregate of $3,400,000 payable in cash and $2,000,000 in Common Shares of the Company.

The Amended Agreement also required payments pursuant to an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) whereby for so long as the Company leases, owns and/or occupies the Mine, the Company would make payments to the EPA on behalf of Placer Mining in satisfaction of the EPA’s claim for historical water treatment cost recovery in accordance with the Settlement Agreement reached with the EPA in 2018. Immediately prior to the purchase of the Mine, the Company’s liability to EPA in this regard totaled $11,000,000.

The Company completed the purchase of the Mine on January 7, 2022. The terms of the purchase price were modified to $5,400,000 in cash, from $3,400,000 of cash and $2,000,000 of Common Shares. Concurrent with the purchase of the Mine, the Company assumed incremental liabilities of $8,000,000 to the EPA, consistent with the terms of the amended Settlement Agreement with the EPA that was executed in December 2021 (see “EPA Settlement Agreement” section below).

EPA 2018 Settlement Agreement & 2021 Amended Settlement Agreement

Bunker Hill entered into a Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent with the EPA on May 15, 2018. This agreement limits the Company’s exposure to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) liability for past environmental damage to the mine site and surrounding area to obligations that include:

In December 2021, in conjunction with its intention to purchase the mine complex, the Company entered into an amended Settlement Agreement (the “Amendment”) between the Company, Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, US Department of Justice and the EPA modifying the payment schedule and payment terms for recovery of historical environmental response costs at the Mine incurred by the EPA. With the purchase of the mine subsequent to the end of the period, the remaining payments of the EPA cost recovery liability would be assumed by the Company, resulting in a total of $19,000,000 liability to the Company, an increase of $8,000,000. The new payment schedule included a $2,000,000 payment to the EPA within 30 days of execution of this amendment, which was made. The remaining $17,000,000 will be paid on the following dates:

The resumption of payments in 2024 were agreed in order to allow the Company to generate sufficient revenue from mining activities at the Mine to address remaining payment obligations from free cash flow.

In addition to the cost recovery payments outlined above, the Amendment includes an initial payment for outstanding water treatment costs that have been incurred over the period from 2018 through 2021. This approximately $2,900,000 settlement payment was to be made within 90 days of the execution of the Amendment.

The changes in payment terms and schedule, are contingent upon the Company securing Financial Assurance in the form of performance bonds or letters of credit deemed acceptable to the EPA totaling $17,000,000. These assurances correspond to the Company’s cost recovery obligations to be paid in 2024 through 2029 as outlined above. Should the Company fail to make its scheduled payment, the EPA can draw against this financial assurance. The amount of the bonds or letters of credit will decrease over time as individual payments are made. If the Company does not post an Interim Financial Assurance within 90 days of execution of the Amendment, or fail to post the Final Financial Assurance within 180 days of the execution of the Amendment, the terms of the original agreement will be reinstated.

On March 22, 2022, the Company reported that in consultation with the EPA, it has committed to meet the $2,900,000 payment and Financial Assurance obligations by 180 days from the effective date of the Amended Settlement Agreement.

As at March 31, 2022, the Company had not secured the interim financial assurance, and therefore the contingency had not been removed or satisfied. Further, as of the date of this filing, the financial assurance has not been secured, and as a result, the liability to the EPA is accounted for with no effectivity of the Amendment, with the liabilities each reflected as current liabilities.

The EPA liability schedule in effect at March 31, 2022 was:

$50,000,000 Project Finance Package

On December 20, 2021, the Company announced the execution of a non-binding term sheet outlining a $50 million project finance package with Sprott Private Resource Streaming and Royalty Corp. (“SRSR”).

The non-binding term sheet with SRSR outlined a $50,000,000 project financing package that the Company expects to fulfill the majority of its funding requirements to restart the Mine. The financing package consisted of an $8,000,000 royalty convertible debenture (the “Royalty Convertible Debenture”), a $5,000,000 convertible debenture (the “Convertible Debenture”), and a multi-metals stream of up to $37,000,000 (the “Stream”, together with the Royalty Convertible Debenture and the Convertible Debenture, the “Project Financing Package”).

The Company closed the $8,000,000 Royalty Convertible Debenture in January 2022. The Royalty Convertible Debenture bears interest at an annual rate of 9.0%, payable in cash or Common Shares at the Company’s option, until such time that SRSR elects to convert a royalty, with such conversion option expiring at the earlier of advancement of the Stream or 18 months. In the event of conversion, the Royalty Convertible Debenture will cease to exist and the Company will grant a royalty for 1.85% 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 (the “SRSR Royalty”). A 1.35% rate will apply to claims outside of these areas. The Royalty Convertible Debenture is secured by a share pledge of the Company’s operating subsidiary, Silver Valley, until a full security package was put in place concurrent with the consummation of the Convertible Debenture. In the event of non-conversion, the principal of the Royalty Convertible Debenture will be repayable in cash.

The Company also closed the $6,000,000 Convertible Debenture in January 2022, which was increased from the previously-announced $5,000,000. The Convertible Debenture bears interest at an annual rate of 7.5%, payable in cash or shares at the Company’s option, and matures on July 7, 2023. Until the closing of the Stream, the Convertible Debenture is convertible into Common Shares at a price of C$0.30 per Common Share, subject to stock exchange approval. Alternatively, SRSR may elect to retire the Convertible Debenture with the cash proceeds from the Stream. The Company may elect to repay the Convertible Debenture early; if SRSR elects not to exercise its conversion option at such time, a minimum of 12 months of interest would apply.

Pend Oreille Process Plant

On January 25, 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”) for the purchase of a comprehensive package of equipment and parts inventory from its Pend Oreille site (the “Pend Oreille Mill”) in eastern Washington State, approximately 145 miles from the Mine by road. The package comprises substantially all processing equipment of value located at the site, including complete crushing, grinding and flotation circuits suitable for a planned ~1,500 ton-per-day operation at Bunker Hill, and total inventory of nearly 10,000 components and parts for mill, assay lab, conveyer, field instruments, and electrical spares. The MOU outlined a purchase price under two scenarios, at Teck’s option: an all-cash $2,750,000 purchase price, or a $3,000,000 purchase price comprised of cash and Bunker Hill shares. Each option includes a $500,000 non-refundable deposit, which was paid by the Company in January 2022. On March 7, 2022, the Company announced the signing of an Asset Purchase agreement for the purchase of the Pend Oreille Mill.

On March 31, 2022, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement with a subsidiary of Teck to satisfy the remaining purchase price for the Pend Oreille Mill by way of an equity issuance of the Company. Teck will receive 10,416,667 units of the Company (the “Teck Units”) at a deemed issue price of C$0.30 per unit. Each Teck Unit consists of one Common Share and one Common Share purchase warrant (the “Teck Warrants”). Each whole Teck Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$0.37 per Common Share for a period of three years. The equity issuance occurred on May 13, 2022.

Land Purchase

On March 3, 2022, the Company purchased a 225-acre surface land parcel for $202,000. The Company intends this property to serve as a strategic asset for the restart of the Mine, optimizing construction efficiency and costs while providing improved access to prospective areas identified by our recent geophysics survey.

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis provide 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, 2022 and March 31, 2021. Unless otherwise stated, all figures herein are expressed in U.S. dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Revenue

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively, the Company generated no revenue.

Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company reported total operating expenses of $5,486,674 and $4,623,974, respectively.

The increase in total operating expenses is due to an increase in mine preparation costs in the most recent quarter as the Company ramps up its preparations to put the mine into production and legal and accounting expenses and consulting expenses required to accomplish the significant events of the quarter (convertible debentures, mine purchase and preparation of the placement of Special Warrants that closed the day after the close of the quarter) when compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.

For financial accounting purposes, the Company reports all direct exploration expenses under the exploration expense line item of the condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Management determined that costs of the mine in the most recent quarter constituted mine preparation costs rather than exploration costs, since it was not focused on expanding the mineral resources, but was invested to execute on the tasks and projects required to get the mine into shape for production activities. Certain indirect expenses may be reported as operation and administration expense or consulting expense on the condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Going Concern

These unaudited 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 $75,372,036 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Additionally, the Company owes a total of $12,000,000 to the EPA (see Note 6) that is classified as current liability unless and until the Company can consummate financial assurances that would reclassify this liability to long-term debt. The Company owes an additional $5,185,706 to the EPA and IDEQ that is due within 12 months. The Company owes a total of $3,540,852, net of discount, to the EPA that is classified as long-term debt. 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. 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.

Management is considering various financing alternatives including, but not limited to, raising capital through the capital markets and debt financing. These 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.

The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtain additional financing to continue operations, explore and develop the mineral properties and the discovery, development, and sale of reserves.

Convertible Debentures and Mine Purchase

As described above, in January 2022, the Company closed on two convertible debentures totaling $14,000,000 and used the proceeds to purchase the Mine for a total capitalized cost of $14,247,210, also as described above, as well as satisfy the $2,000,000 EPA payment requirement, the $500,000 deposit requirement on the upcoming plant equipment purchase, the purchase of 225 acres and fund its continuing working capital requirements.

Current Assets and Total Assets

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had: i) total current assets of $4,116,206, compared to total current assets of $3,622,548 at December 31, 2021 – an increase of $493,658; and ii) total assets of $19,089,557, compared to total assets of $4,071,796 at December 31, 2021 – an increase of $15,017,761. The increase in current assets was due to an increase in available cash as a result of the proceeds from the convertible debentures and the deposit toward the purchase of the Pend Oreille Mill, offset by a decrease in prepaid mine acquisition costs held at December 31, 2021 toward the purchase of the Mine and financing activities related to the convertible debentures. Total assets increased principally due to the increase in cash and the purchase of the Mine and mining interest assets, offset by the decrease in prepaid costs related to the anticipated mine acquisition and financing activities.

Total Current Liabilities and Liabilities

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had total current liabilities of $24,872,184 and total liabilities of $54,291,835, compared to total current liabilities of $22,795,277 and total liabilities of $38,314,164 at December 31, 2021. The increase in the current liabilities is reflective of increases in accrued liabilities, interest payable and EPA water treatment payable and current portion of the EPA liability assumed upon the purchase of the Mine, offset by decreases in accounts payable and the short-term DSU liability. Total liabilities increased as a result of the two convertible debentures, the net present value of the long-term portion of the EPA liability assumed with the purchase of the Mine and subscriptions payable for cash received during the quarter for the financing which closed subsequent to the end of the quarter, offset by the decrease in the long-term derivative warrant liability.

Cash Flow

Subsequent Events

On April 1, 2022, the Company announced that it had closed the private placement of 37,849,325 Special Warrants, and concurrent non-brokered private placement of 1,471,644 units of the Company (the “Non-Brokered Units”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $11,796,297 (the “Offering”). Of this amount, $1,775,790 was received prior to the end of the quarter and is included in Subscriptions received in the equity section of the balance sheet.

Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 37,849,325 Special Warrants at a price of $0.30 per Special Warrant. Each Special Warrant is automatically exercisable (without payment of any further consideration and subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments) into one unit of the Company (a “Brokered Unit”) on the date that is the earlier of: (i) the date that is three business days following the date on which the Company has obtained both (A) a receipt from the Canadian security commission in each of the each of the provinces of Canada in which the purchasers of the Special Warrants were sold for a (final) short-form Prospectus qualifying the distribution of the common stock of the Company (“Common Shares”) and common stock purchase warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”) issuable upon exercise of the Special Warrants (the “Final Qualification Prospectus”); and (B) notification that the registration statement, of which this Prospectus is a part, has been declared effective by the SEC (the “Registration Statement”); and (ii) October 1, 2022.

Each Brokered Unit consists of one Common Share and one Warrant. Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) for C$0.37 until April 1, 2025. The Warrants shall also be exercisable on a cashless basis in the event the Registration ‎Statement has not been made effective by the SEC prior to the date of exercise.

In addition, pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 1,471,644 Non-Brokered Units at a price of $0.30 per Non-Brokered Units. Each Non-Brokered Unit consists of one Common Share and one Warrant. Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Warrant Share for C$0.37 until April 1, 2025.

Related parties, including management and members of the Board of Directors purchased 4,537,160 of Non-Brokered Units for a total of $1,361,148 of cash proceeds to the Company.

On May 13, 2022, the Company issued 10,416,667 units of the Company to Teck Resources Limited at an issue price of C$0.30 per unit, or C$3,125,000 (US$2,500,000), which together with the $500,000 cash payment made in January 2022, satisfies the purchase price of $3,000,000 and applicable sales taxes for the Pend Oreille Mill. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of C$0.37 for a period of three years.

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 sheet 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.

Warrants and accrued liabilities

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 and conversion feature derivative liability, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.

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.

Complex Financing Transactions

The Company has entered into convertible debentures that contain embedded derivatives arising from contractual terms that allow prepayment, payment of interest with shares of the Company’s stock, conversion of the debentures into shares of the Company’s stock, or conversion into a royalty stream. These embedded derivatives require the use of valuation models, techniques and assumptions that utilize estimates of several key valuation inputs. The embedded derivatives require revaluation at each quarter end, with updates to and re-evaluation of each of the key valuation inputs at each revaluation.

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.

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 identification of significant deficiencies. Based on the context in which the individual deficiencies occurred, management has concluded that these significant deficiencies, in combination, represent a material weakness. The Company’s CEO and CFO also concluded that updates to the disclosure controls and procedures should be made to improve the effectiveness of the controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of the assurance of these objectives.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Mitigating these significant deficiencies, however, is that, commencing in December of 2021, the Company has replaced certain accounting resources by engaging qualified finance and accounting staff who are experienced in established and proven internal controls and accounting procedures with other companies in the same industry. As the work product of these qualified staff are reflected in Company transactions more fully in 2022, management will be able to address these remaining significant deficiencies.

As part of the afore-mentioned engagement, Management has engaged a third-party firm to assist in developing Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. The Company intends to remedy these significant deficiencies dependent on having the financial resources available to complete them.

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 it amended complaint on April 1, 2022. Placer Mining Corp. and Bunker Hill Mining Corp are named as co-defendants. Bunker Hill and Placer have until May 20, 2022 to respond to the amended filing. The Company believes Crescent Mining LLC’s lawsuit against Placer Mining Corp. is without merit and intends to defend Placer Mining Corp. vigorously 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. Bunker Hill Mining Corporation v. Venzee Technologies Inc. et al, Case No. 2:21-cv-209-REP, filed in the same court on May 14, 2021. The Company has subsequently executed a tolling agreement with Venzee in exchange for dropping its lawsuit. 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.
