BNKR Bunker Hill Mining Corp

Bunker Hill Mining Corporation (the “Company”) (CSE:  BNKR) is pleased to announce that, due to strong demand, the Company has increased the size of its previously announced brokered best efforts equity private placement by 50% up to C$15,000,000.

Sprott Capital Partners LP is the lead agent, for a syndicate of agents (the “Agents”), to complete a best efforts brokered private placement of up to 42,857,143 units of the Company (“Units”) at C$0.35 per Unit (the “Offering”).  Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$0.50 per Common Share for a period of three years.  The Offering is subject to a 15% over-allotment option allowing the Company to issue an additional up to 6,428,571 Units on the same terms.

The net proceeds from the Offering shall be primarily used for the exploration of the high grade silver potential of the Bunker Hill Mine, lease and other payments required to keep the Company’s option interest in Bunker Hill Mine in good standing, and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Agents will be paid a cash commission (the “Agents’ Fee”) equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering.  In addition, the Agents will be issued warrants of the Company exercisable for a period of 36 months following the closing of the Offering to acquire in aggregate that number of Units which is equal to 6% of the number of Units sold under the Offering (including any Units sold under the over-allotment option) at an exercise price equal to C$0.35 (the “Broker Warrants”).  The Agents shall receive a 2% Agents’ Fee and 6% Broker Warrants in respect of specified gross proceeds from the President’s List.

The first tranche of the Offering is expected to close on or about August 14, 2020 and will be subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. The Units and securities underlying them will be subject to a six month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.
