Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
1. Nature and Continuance of Operations and Going Concern
Bunker
Hill Mining Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of
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 $
Management is considering various financing alternatives including, but not limited to, raising capital through the capital markets, debt, and closing on the multi-metals stream transaction (see note 7). These unaudited condensed interim 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.
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”). Although the pandemic has subsided significantly, the Company cannot accurately predict the impact a COVID-19 resurgence would 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 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 financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.

The process plant was purchased in an assembled state in the seller’s location, and included major processing systems, significant components, and a large inventory of spare parts. The Company has disassembled and transported it to the Bunker Hill site, and will be reassembling it as an integral part of the Company’s future operations. The Company determined that the transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the process plant representing a single asset, with the exception of the inventory of spare parts, which has been separated out and appears on the balance sheet as a current asset in accordance with a preliminary purchase price allocation. As the plant is demobilized, transported and reassembled, installation and other costs associated with these activities will be captured and capitalized as components of the asset.

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 unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as a gain or loss and is estimated using the Binomial model.
The warrant liabilities as a result of the June 2019, August 2019, August 2020, February 2021, April 2022 special warrants, April 2022 non-brokered, May 2022 Teck purchase, and June 2022 contractor private placements were revalued as at September 30, 2022, issuance date in 2022, and December 31, 2021 using the Binomial model and the following assumptions:

13. 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 (as done formerly by 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.
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 acid mine drainage (“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 an amended complaint on April 1, 2022. Placer Mining Corp. and Bunker Hill Mining Corp are named as co-defendants. Bunker Hill responded to the amended filing, refuting and denying all allegations made in the complaint except those that are assertions of fact as a matter of public record. The Company believes Crescent’s is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself, as well as Placer Mining Corp. 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.

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.

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. Although the pandemic has subsided significantly, 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 Bunker Hill 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 Bunker Hill Mine, purchased 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 Bunker Hill 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 Bunker Hill 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 2018 Settlement Agreement & 2021 Amended 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:
| ● | Payment of $20,000,000 for historical water treatment cost recovery for amounts paid by the EPA from 1995 to 2017 | |
| ● | Payment for water treatment services provided by the EPA at the Central Treatment Plant (“CTP”) in Kellogg, Idaho until such time that Bunker Hill either purchases or leases the CTP or builds a separate EPA-approved water treatment facility | |
| ● | Conducting a work program as described in the Ongoing Environmental Activities section of this study |
| 27 |
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 Bunker Hill 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:
| Date | Amount | |||
| November 1, 2024 | $ | 3,000,000 | ||
| November 1, 2025 | $ | 3,000,000 | ||
| November 1, 2026 | $ | 3,000,000 | ||
| November 1, 2027 | $ | 3,000,000 | ||
| November 1, 2028 | $ | 3,000,000 | ||
| November 1, 2029 | $ | 2,000,000 plus accrued interest | ||
The resumption of payments in 2024 were agreed in order to allow the Company to generate sufficient revenue from mining activities at the Bunker Hill Mine to address remaining payment obligations from free cash flow.
The changes in payment terms and schedule were 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, corresponding 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 failed to post the final financial assurance within 180 days of the execution of the Amendment, the terms of the original agreement would be reinstated.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company was successful in obtaining the financial assurance. Specifically, a $9,999,000 payment bond and a $7,001,000 letter of credit were secured and provided to the EPA. This milestone provides for the Company to recognize the effects of the change in terms of the EPA liability as outlined in the December 20, 2021, agreement. Once the financial assurance was put into place, the restructuring of the payment stream under the Amendment occurred with the entire $17,000,000 liability being recognized as long-term in nature. The aforementioned payment bond and letter of credit are secured by $2,475,000 and $7,001,000 of cash deposits, respectively.
Project Finance Package with Sprott Private Resource Streaming & Royalty Corp.
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 project financing package that the Company expects to fulfill the majority of its funding requirements to restart the Mine. The term sheet consisted of an $8,000,000 royalty convertible debenture (the “RCD”), a $5,000,000 convertible debenture (the “CD1”), and a multi-metals stream of up to $37,000,000 (the “Stream”). The CD1 was subsequently increased to $6,000,000, increasing the project financing package to $51,000,000.
On June 17, 2022, the Company consummated a new $15,000,000 convertible debenture (the “CD2”). As a result, total potential funding from SRSR was further increased to $66,000,000 including the RCD, CD1, CD2 and the Stream (together, the “Project Financing Package”).
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 July 7, 2023 (subsequently amended as described below). 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 the apply to claims outside of these areas. The RCD was initially 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 CD1. In the event of non-conversion, the principal of the RCD will be repayable in cash.
Concurrent with the funding of the CD2 in June 2022, the Company and SRSR agreed to a number of amendments to the terms of the RCD, including an amendment of the maturity date from July 7, 2023, to March 31, 2025. The parties also agreed to a Royalty Put Option such that in the event the RCD is converted into a royalty as described above, the holder of the royalty will be entitled to resell the royalty to the Company for $8,000,000 upon default under the CD1 or CD2 until such time that the CD1 and CD2 are paid in full.
The Company closed the $6,000,000 CD1 on January 28, 2022, which was increased from the previously announced $5,000,000. The CD1 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 (subsequently amended, as described below). The CD1 is secured by a pledge of the Company’s properties and assets. Until the closing of the Stream, the CD1 was to be convertible into Common Shares at a price of C$0.30 per Common Share, subject to stock exchange approval (subsequently amended, as described below). Alternatively, SRSR may elect to retire the CD1 with the cash proceeds from the Stream. The Company may elect to repay the CD1 early; if SRSR elects not to exercise its conversion option at such time, a minimum of 12 months of interest would apply.
| 28 |
Concurrent with the funding of the CD2 in June 2022, the Company and SRSR agreed to a number of amendments to the terms of the CD1, including that the maturity date would be amended from July 7, 2023, to March 31, 2025, and that the CD1 would remain outstanding until the new maturity date regardless of whether the Stream is advanced, unless the Company elects to exercise its option of early repayment. The Company determined that amendments to the terms should not be treated as an extinguishment of CD1, but as a debt modification.
The Company closed the $15,000,000 CD2 on June 17, 2022. The CD2 bears interest at an annual rate of 10.5%, payable in cash or shares at the Company’s option, and matures on March 31, 2025. The CD2 is secured by a pledge of the Company’s properties and assets. The repayment terms include 3 quarterly payments of $2,000,000 each beginning June 30, 2024, and $9,000,000 on the maturity date.
In light of the Series 2 Convertible Debenture financing, the previously permitted additional senior secured indebtedness of up to $15 million for project finance has been removed.
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 including confirmation of full project funding by an independent engineer appointed by SRSR. 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 (subsequently amended, as described below). 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. As of September 30, 2022, the Stream had not been advanced.
Concurrent with the funding of the CD2 in June 2022, the Company and SRSR agreed that the minimum quantity of metal delivered under the Stream, if advanced, will increase by 10% relative to the amounts noted above.
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 “Process Plant”) in eastern Washington State, approximately 145 miles from the Bunker Hill 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 Company paid a $500,000 non-refundable deposit in January 2022.
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 Process Plant 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 and purchase of the Process Plant occurred on May 13, 2022.
Ball Mill upgrade
On August 30, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a ball mill from D’Angelo International LLC for $675,000. The purchase of the mill is to be made in three cash payments:
$100,000 by September 15, 2022 as a non-refundable deposit (paid)
$100,000 by October 15, 2022 (paid)
$475,000 by December 15, 2022
At September 30, 2022, the Company paid $100,000 towards the purchase as a non-refundable deposit.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021. Unless otherwise stated, all figures herein are expressed in U.S. dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Revenue
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company generated no revenue.
Expenses
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reported total operating expenses of $3,824,948 and $13,291,484, respectively. Compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company reported total operating expenses of $2,464,945 and $12,384,474, respectively.
The increase in total operating expenses is primarily due to an increase in mine preparation legal and consulting fees when compared to the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021. The Company was engaged in an active exploration campaign during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, whereas the Company’s primary focus during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 was on advancing mine restart efforts, including underground development and process plant demobilization activities.
The significant increase in consulting fees reflects the engagement of numerous engineering, geological and other professional firms to assist the Company in consummating several complex debt and equity financings, the purchases of the mine and processing plant, the EPA financial assurance requirements, fair value measurements of complex instruments, and advancement of project activities. These fees were somewhat offset by a decrease in operational and administration expenses.
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 unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
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 $59,626,902 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Additionally, the Company owes a total of $7,420,024 net of discount to the EPA (see Note 6) 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.
| 30 |
Management is considering various financing alternatives including, but not limited to, raising capital through the capital markets, debt and closing on the multi-metals stream transaction. These unaudited condensed interim 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.
Debt and Equity Financings, EPA obligations, and Mine Purchase
As described above, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company closed on three convertible debentures totaling $29,000,000 and equity financings (net of issuance costs) totaling $7,769,745 and used the proceeds to purchase the Bunker Hill Mine and the processing plant, as well as satisfy short-term obligations to the EPA including satisfaction of its financial assurance commitments, cost recovery and water treatment payments, advancement of mine restart activities and the funding of working capital requirements.
Current Assets and Total Assets
As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s balance sheet reflects that the Company had: i) total current assets of $11,787,942, compared to total current assets of $3,622,548 at December 31, 2021 – an increase of $8,165,394; and ii) total assets of $33,586,588, compared to total assets of $4,071,796 at December 31, 2021 – an increase of $29,514,792. The increase in current assets was primarily due to an increase in restricted cash as a result of the proceeds from the convertible debentures and equity financings, and from increases in prepaid expenses and deposits. Total assets increased principally due to the increase in cash from financings and the purchase of the Bunker Hill Mine, the process plant and inventory.
Current Liabilities and Total Liabilities
As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s balance sheet reflects that the Company had total current liabilities of $11,439,038 and total liabilities of $48,321,757, compared to total current liabilities of $22,795,277 and total liabilities of $38,314,164 at December 31, 2021. The decrease in the current liabilities is primarily reflective of financing and assurance activities that moved the EPA cost recovery liability from current to long term liabilities. Total liabilities increased as a result of the closing of the three convertible debentures and movement of the EPA cost recovery liability from current to long term, offset by the decrease in the long-term derivative warrant liability, promissory note.
Working Capital and Shareholders’ Deficit
On September 30, 2022, the Company had working capital of $384,904 and a shareholders’ deficiency of $14,735,169 compared to negative working capital of $19,172,729 and a shareholders’ deficiency of $34,242,368 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Working capital increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to funding from debt and equity financings, and the reclassification of cost recovery liabilities from current to long-term. Shareholders’ equity increased due to net income of $3,690,353 and $12,864,248 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, driven by decreases in the fair value of the derivative warrant liability.
Cash Flow
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had a net cash decrease of $382,230, which represents cash provided from convertible debentures and equity financings, with proceeds used to satisfy short-term obligations with the EPA, purchase of the Bunker Hill Mine and a processing plant, partial repayment of the outstanding promissory note, advancement of mine restart activities, and funding of working capital requirements.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash of $26,531,674 was used in operating activities, primarily due to the usage of $9,476,000 to secure the Company’s financial assurance obligations with the EPA, $3,000,000 of payments against EPA cost recovery and water treatment payables, funding of mine restart activities, and other working capital requirements. This compares with cash used in operating activities of $9,372,253 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash of $9,555,473 was used in investing activities for the purchase of the Bunker Hill Mine, a process plant, equipment, and real estate, compared with $94,693 used for investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021
| 31 |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash of $35,704,917 was provided by financing activities by the three convertible debentures and the equity financings, offset by cash used for lease payments and repayment of a promissory note, compared with cash of $8,411,534 provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021
Subsequent Events
During October 2022, the Company issued 8,252,940 common shares in connection with its election to satisfy interest payments under the outstanding convertible debentures for the three months ending September 30, 2022.
During October 2022, the Company reported that it has been successful in securing a new payment bond to secure a portion of its cost recovery obligations to the US Environmental Protection Agency (the “US EPA”), resulting in a $3,000,000 improvement in liquidity. As reported in the Company’s financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2022, the Company held restricted cash of $9,476,000 as of September 30, 2022 which included $7,001,000 as collateral for a letter of credit to the US EPA. This letter of credit has been reduced to $2,000,001 as a result of a new $5,000,000 payment bond obtained through an insurance company. The collateral for the new payment bond is comprised of a $2,000,000 letter of credit and land pledged by third parties, with whom the company has entered into a financing cooperation agreement that contemplates a monthly fee of $20,000 (payable in cash or common shares of the Company, at the Company’s election).
The new payment bond is scheduled to increase to $7,001,000 (from $5,000,000) upon the advance of the multi-metals Stream from Sprott Private Resource Streaming & Royalty Corp. (see the Company’s news release of December 20, 2021 for further detail), which would result in a further $2,001,000 improvement in liquidity for the Company from the release of restricted cash.
In October 2022, the Company reported that it awarded a new water management consulting services contract to MineWater LLC (“MineWater”) for strategic environmental support at the Bunker Hill Mine through September 30, 2023. Pursuant to the contract, the Company agreed to pay MineWater $60,000 in cash and issue 1,599,150 Restricted Share Units, which were issued and vested immediately to common shares of the Company that are subject to customary resale restrictions in Canada and the United States.
In November 2022, the Company awarded 4,396,741 Restricted Share Units to certain executives in relation to an annual grant under its Long-Term Incentive Plan. The RSUs vest in one-third increments on March 31 of 2023, 2024, and 2025.
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.
| 32 |
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 engaged in a series of complex financing transactions, which involve the issuance of certain conversion features embedded in the debt, including options to receive interest payments in the form of the Company’s shares and to purchase a gross revenue royalty in the Bunker Hill Mine. These instruments require evaluation to determine fair values of the debt and the embedded conversion features, which require complex calculations of many appropriate inputs to the valuation model variables, including but not limited to the expected life of the debt instrument and conversion feature derivative liability, volatility of the Company’s shares, effective discount rates, probabilities of operational assumptions as related to an anticipated royalty revenue stream, the Company’s own credit risk and other inputs. The Company has to make estimates of each of these inputs in applying a valuation model to account for the derivative values, the presentation of these values, the periodic changes to the fair values and the recognition of these changes.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

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 are significant deficiencies. The Company’s CEO and CFO are in the process of making significant improvements to the disclosure controls and procedures in order to provide reasonable assurance of the effectiveness of the controls and procedures.
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 an amended complaint on April 1, 2022. Placer Mining Corp. and Bunker Hill Mining Corp are named as co-defendants. Bunker Hill responded to the amended filing, refuting and denying all allegations made in the complaint except those that are assertions of fact as a matter of public record. The Company believes Crescent’s lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself, as well as Placer Mining Corp. 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.

| Nature and Continuance of Operations and Going Concern | 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. (“Silver Valley”, 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 $59,626,902 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Additionally, the Company owes a total of $3,847,141 to the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) (see Note 6) for water treatment that is classified as current. The Company also owes a total of $7,420,024, 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 unaudited 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, debt, and closing on the multi-metals stream transaction (see note 7). These unaudited condensed interim 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.
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”). Although the pandemic has subsided significantly, the Company cannot accurately predict the impact a COVID-19 resurgence would 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 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.

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 financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.

The package comprises substantially all processing equipment of value located at the Pend Oreille mine site, including complete crushing, grinding and flotation circuits suitable for a planned ~1,500 ton-per-day operation at the Bunker Hill site, and total inventory of nearly 10,000 components and parts for mill, assay lab, conveyer, field instruments, and electrical spares.
Bunker Hill Mining Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 (Expressed in United States Dollars)
The process plant was purchased in an assembled state in the seller’s location, and included major processing systems, significant components, and a large inventory of spare parts. The Company has disassembled and transported it to the Bunker Hill site, and will be reassembling it as an integral part of the Company’s future operations. The Company determined that the transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the process plant representing a single asset, with the exception of the inventory of spare parts, which has been separated out and appears on the balance sheet as a current asset in accordance with a preliminary purchase price allocation. As the plant is demobilized, transported and reassembled, installation and other costs associated with these activities will be captured and capitalized as components of the asset.
At September 30, 2022, the asset consists of the following:
Additionally, at September 30, 2022, the Company has paid a refundable deposit of $1,000,000 to Teck as security while demobilization activities are ongoing. This is classified as a short-term deposit on the balance sheet.
Ball Mill upgrade
On August 30, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a ball mill from D’Angelo International LLC for $675,000. The purchase of the mill is to be made in three cash payments:
$100,000 by September 15, 2022 as a non-refundable deposit (paid) $100,000 by October 15, 2022 (paid) $475,000 by December 15, 2022
At September 30, 2022, the Company paid $100,000 towards the purchase as a non-refundable deposit.

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.
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. (See also Note 6 Environmental Protection Agency Agreement and Water Treatment Liabilities).
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:
Management has determined the purchase to be an acquisition of a single asset as guided by ASU 805-10. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company has spent an additional $356,149 and $356,149, respectively, in mine improvements.
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.

Historical Cost Recovery Payables
As a part of the lease of the Mine, the Company was required to make payments pursuant to an agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) whereby for so long as the Company leases, owns and/or occupies the Mine, the Company was required to make payments to the EPA on behalf of Placer Mining in satisfaction of the EPA’s claim for cost recovery related to historical treatment costs paid by the EPA from 1995 to 2017. These payments, if all are made, will total $20,000,000. The agreement called for payments starting with $1,000,000 30 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, November 1, 2019, November 1, 2020, and November 1, 2021, payments were not made. As a result, a total of $11,000,000 was outstanding as of December 31, 2021, accounted for within current liabilities. As the purchase of the Bunker Hill Mine (which would trigger the immediate recognition of the remaining liabilities due through November 1, 2024) had not yet taken place, the remaining $8,000,000 cost recovery liabilities were not recognized on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.
Bunker Hill Mining Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 (Expressed in United States Dollars)
Through 2021, the Company engaged in discussions with the EPA to reschedule these payments in ways that enable the sustainable operation of the Mine as a viable long-term business.
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 the aforementioned historical environmental response costs. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Settlement, upon purchase of the Bunker Hill Mine and the satisfaction of financial assurance commitments (as described below), the $19,000,000 of cost recovery liabilities will be paid by the Company to the EPA on the following dates:
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 within 180 days from the effective date of the Amended Settlement Agreement. Once put in place, 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.
The Company completed the purchase of the Mine (see note 5) and made the initial $2,000,000 cost recovery payment on January 7, 2022. Concurrent with the purchase of the Mine, the Company assumed the balance of the EPA liability totaling $17,000,000, an increase of $8,000,000.
As of March 31, 2022, the financial assurance had not yet been secured, and as such the Company accounted for the $17,000,000 liabilities according to the previous payment schedule, resulting in $12,000,000 classified as a current liability and $5,000,000 as a long-term liability. 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 June 30, 2022, the Company was successful in obtaining the final financial assurance. Specifically, a $9,999,000 payment bond and a $7,001,000 letter of credit were secured and provided to the EPA. This milestone provides for the Company to recognize the effects of the change in terms of the EPA liability as outlined in the December 19, 2021 agreement. Once the financial assurance was put into place, the restructuring of the payment stream under the Amendment occurred with the entire $17,000,000 liability being recognized as long-term in nature. The aforementioned payment bond is secured by a $2,475,000 letter of credit. The $2,475,000 and $7,001,000 letters of credit are secured by $9,476,000 of cash deposits under an agreement with a commercial bank. These cash deposits comprise the $9,476,000 of restricted cash shown within current assets as of September 30, 2022.
Under ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company performed a comparison of NPV’s of the pre-settlement Cost Recovery obligation to the post-settlement schedule of Cost Recovery obligation to determine this was an extinguishment of debt. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt totaling $8,614,103. The old debt, including any discount, was written off and the new payment stream of the amended $17,000,000 table, including the new discount of $9,927,590, using the effective interest rate of 19.95%, was recorded to result in a net liability of $7,072,410, which is due long-term. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded combined discount amortization expense of $347,614 and $631,701 on the discounted pre- and post-extinguishment liability, respectively, bringing the net liability to $7,420,024 as of September 30, 2022. As at September 30, 2022 interest of $192,923 ($306,501 at December 31, 2021) is included in interest payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Water Treatment Charges – EPA
Separate to the cost recovery liabilities outlined above, the Company is responsible for the payment of ongoing water treatment charges. Water treatment charges incurred through December 31, 2021 are payable to the EPA, and charges thereafter are payable to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (“IDEQ”) given a handover of responsibilities for the Central Treatment Plant from the EPA to the IDEQ as of that date. The Company previously estimated a balance due to the EPA of $5,110,706 for ongoing water treatment through December 31, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received an invoice from the EPA for water treatment through October 2021. As a result, the Company reversed its previous accruals for this period and adjusted its estimated charges for November and December 2021. Through recent discussions with the EPA, the Company has confirmed that payments to the IDEQ for water treatment charges cannot be netted against invoices payable to the EPA. After taking this into account, the additional invoice received from the EPA, and a $1,000,000 payment made in April 2022, the Company has estimated water treatment payables to the EPA of $3,847,141 as of September 30, 2022 and $5,110,706 at December 31, 2021, which is reflected in current liabilities.
Water Treatment Charges – IDEQ
For water treatment charges beginning January 2022, the Company makes a monthly accrual of $80,000 to cover the IDEQ’s 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 credited to or paid by the Company once the actual annual costs are determined each year. At September 30, 2022, the Company has accrued $720,000 for water treatment costs to IDEQ and has prepaid $1,260,000, leaving a net prepaid of $540,000 ($ at December 31, 2021) which is included in prepaid expenses on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated balance sheet.

| Promissory Note Payable and Convertible Debentures | 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 was scheduled to mature 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. Prior to the revised maturity of June 20, 2022, the note holder agreed to accept a further $500,000 payment by June 30, 2022, which the Company paid, and the remaining principal and interest was deferred to November 30, 2022. The Company purchased a land parcel for approximately $202,000 on March 3, 2022, which may be used as security for the promissory note. At September 30, 2022, the Company owes $1,500,000 in promissory notes payable, which is included in current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $56,712 and $224,589, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest expense was $8,219 and $8,219, respectively. At September 30, 2022 interest of $327,329 ($102,740 at December 31, 2021) is included in interest payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Project Finance Package with Sprott Private Resource Streaming & Royalty Corp.
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 term sheet consisted of an $8,000,000 royalty convertible debenture (the “RCD”), a $5,000,000 convertible debenture (the “CD1”), and a multi-metals stream of up to $37,000,000 (the “Stream”). The CD1 was subsequently increased to $6,000,000, increasing the project financing package to $51,000,000.
Bunker Hill Mining Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 (Expressed in United States Dollars)
On June 17, 2022, the Company consummated a new $15,000,000 convertible debenture (the “CD2”). As a result, total potential funding from SRSR was further increased to $66,000,000 including the RCD, CD1, CD2 and the Stream (together, the “Project Financing Package”).
$8,000,000 Royalty Convertible Debenture (RCD)
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 July 7, 2023 (subsequently amended as described below). 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 was initially 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 CD1. In the event of non-conversion, the principal of the RCD will be repayable in cash.
Concurrent with the funding of the CD2 in June 2022, the Company and SRSR agreed to a number of amendments to the terms of the RCD, including an amendment of the maturity date from July 7, 2023 to March 31, 2025. The parties also agreed to enter into a Royalty Put Option such that in the event the RCD is converted into a royalty as described above, the holder of the royalty will be entitled to resell the royalty to the Company for $8,000,000 upon default under the CD1 or CD2 until such time that the CD1 and CD2 are paid in full. The Company determined that the amendments in the terms of the RCD should not be treated as an extinguishment of the RCD, and have therefore been accounted for as a modification as a result of the treatment the Company reported a gain of $607,261 in the statement of operations for the period ended September 30, 2022.
$6,000,000 Series 1 Convertible Debenture (CD1))
The Company closed the $6,000,000 CD1 on January 28, 2022, which was increased from the previously-announced $5,000,000. The CD1 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 (subsequently amended, as described below). The CD1 is secured by a pledge of the Company’s properties and assets. Until the closing of the Stream, the CD1 was to be convertible into Common Shares at a price of C$0.30 per Common Share, subject to stock exchange approval (subsequently amended, as described below). Alternatively, SRSR may elect to retire the CD1 with the cash proceeds from the Stream. The Company may elect to repay the CD1 early; if SRSR elects not to exercise its conversion option at such time, a minimum of 12 months of interest would apply.
Concurrent with the funding of the CD2 in June 2022, the Company and SRSR agreed to a number of amendments to the terms of the CD1, including that the maturity date would be amended from July 7, 2023 to March 31, 2025, and that the CD1 would remain outstanding until the new maturity date regardless of whether the Stream is advanced, unless the Company elects to exercise its option of early repayment. The Company determined that the amendments in the terms of the RCD should not be treated as an extinguishment of the CD1, and have therefore been accounted for as a modification as a result of the treatment the Company reported a gain of $179,046 in the statement of operations for the period ended September 30, 2022
$15,000,000 Series 2 Convertible Debenture (CD2)
The Company closed the $15,000,000 CD2 on June 17, 2022. The CD2 bears interest at an annual rate of 10.5%, payable in cash or shares at the Company’s option, and matures on March 31, 2025. The CD2 is secured by a pledge of the Company’s properties and assets. The repayment terms include 3 quarterly payments of $2,000,000 each beginning June 30, 2024 and $9,000,000 on the maturity date.
In light of the Series 2 Convertible Debenture financing, the previously permitted additional senior secured indebtedness of up to $15 million for project finance has been removed.
The Company determined that in accordance with ASC 815, each debenture will be valued and carried as a single instrument, with the periodic changes to fair value accounted through earnings, profit and loss.
Bunker Hill Mining Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 (Expressed in United States Dollars)
Consistent with the approach above, the following table summarizes the key valuation inputs as at applicable valuation dates:
The resulting fair values of the CD1, RCD, and CD2 at the issuance dates, June 30, 2022, and as of September 30, 2022 were as follows:
The total gain on fair value of debentures recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $1,301,069 and $3,041,056, respectively. The portion of changes in fair value that is attributable to changes in the Company’s credit risk is accounted for within other comprehensive income. During the three and nine months ended September, 2022, the Company recognized $625,050 and $996,636, respectively, within other comprehensive income.
The Company performs quarterly testing of the covenants in the RCD, CD1 and CD2, and was in compliance with all such covenants as of September 30, 2022.

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, including confirmation of full project funding by an independent engineer appointed by SRSR. 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 (subsequently amended, as described below). 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. As of September 30, 2022, the Stream had not been advanced.
Concurrent with the funding of the CD2 in June 2022, the Company and SRSR agreed that the minimum quantity of metal delivered under the Stream, if advanced, will increase by 10% relative to the amounts noted above.

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 (as done formerly by 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.
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 acid mine drainage (“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 an amended complaint on April 1, 2022. Placer Mining Corp. and Bunker Hill Mining Corp are named as co-defendants. Bunker Hill responded to the amended filing, refuting and denying all allegations made in the complaint except those that are assertions of fact as a matter of public record. The Company believes Crescent’s is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself, as well as Placer Mining Corp. 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.

In October 2022, the Company issued common shares in connection with its election to satisfy interest payments under the outstanding convertible debentures for the three months ending September 30, 2022.
During October 2022, the Company reported that it has been successful in securing a new payment bond to secure a portion of its cost recovery obligations to the US Environmental Protection Agency (the “US EPA”), resulting in a $3,000,000 improvement in liquidity. As reported in the Company’s financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2022, the Company held restricted cash of $9,476,000 as of September 30, 2022 which included $7,001,000 as collateral for a letter of credit to the US EPA. This letter of credit has been reduced to $2,000,001 as a result of a new $5,000,000 payment bond obtained through an insurance company. The collateral for the new payment bond is comprised of a $2,000,000 letter of credit and land pledged by third parties, with whom the Company has entered into a financing cooperation agreement that contemplates a monthly fee of $20,000 (payable in cash or common shares of the Company, at the Company’s election). The new payment bond is scheduled to increase to $7,001,000 (from $5,000,000) upon the advance of the multi-metals Stream from Sprott Private Resource Streaming & Royalty Corp. (see the Company’s news release of December 20, 2021 for further detail), which would result in a further $2,001,000 improvement in liquidity for the Company from the release of restricted cash.
In October 2022, the Company reported that it awarded a new water management consulting services contract to MineWater LLC (“MineWater”) for strategic environmental support at the Bunker Hill Mine through September 30, 2023. Pursuant to the contract, the Company agreed to pay MineWater $60,000 in cash and issue Restricted Share Units, which were issued and vested immediately to common shares of the Company that are subject to customary resale restrictions in Canada and the United States.
In November 2022, the Company awarded Restricted Share Units to certain executives in relation to an annual grant under its Long-Term Incentive Plan. The RSUs vest in one-third increments on March 31 of 2023, 2024, and 2025. |
