Bunker Hill Mining on Track for Concentrate Production by the End of the Month

Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (BNKR) is actively commissioning its new 1,800 tpd processing facility in Kellogg, Idaho, with the crusher currently processing ore and feeding the silo. Final commissioning of the grinding, flotation, thickening, and filtration circuits is underway in parallel with the co-located tailings filter press and closed-loop water management system. The company has transitioned from waste rock to run-of-mine ore and expects to produce its first batch of concentrate for sale by the end of June 2026.

"Our crusher is now processing ore and feeding the ore silo as we complete final commissioning of the grinding, flotation, thickening and filtration circuits. These activities are being carried out in parallel with the commissioning of our co-located tailings filter press within a fully operational closed-loop water management system. Having successfully commissioned the plant using waste rock, we are now transitioning to run-of-mine ore from the silo, with concentrate production expected to follow shortly," said Sam Ash, President and CEO.

Ash emphasized the company's operational focus amidst broader market conditions. "While commodity markets and investors continue to navigate an evolving global economic and geopolitical landscape, our team in Idaho's Silver Valley remains focused on what we can control: executing safely, methodically and with precision. Every day, this dedicated group of professionals is taking another step toward bringing America's newest mine into production on schedule. I couldn’t be prouder of their commitment, expertise and determination. They represent the very best of American mining."

The project involves restarting the historic Bunker Hill Mine in Idaho's Silver Valley, a high-quality silver, zinc, and lead deposit.
