Bunker Hill Files the Technical Report Which Formed the Basis for Its Strategic Shift to High-Grade Silver Exploration
19 Octubre 2020 - 6:00AM
Bunker Hill Mining Corp (the “Company”) (CSE:
BNKR) is pleased to announce that it has filed on SEDAR an
independent technical report for its Bunker Hill Silver Project
located in Idaho’s Silver Valley, USA. The technical report
includes detailed information regarding the recently completed
digitization and 3D modeling of historic geological data which
confirmed numerous high-grade silver exploration targets and formed
the basis for its shift to high grade silver exploration.
Resource Development Associates, who prepared
the independent technical report, strongly recommend that
exploration should be focused on the silver potential with the
following conclusions:
- The production of over 160 million
ounces of silver from 1887-1981 at the Bunker Hill Silver Project
should be investigated.
- The near surface historic Caledonia
and Sierra Nevada Mines were bonanza grade silver producers in the
past. These and other known occurrences of silver should be
investigated.
- The confirmation drilling program,
conducted in H1 2020, identified intercepts of 10 to 20 ounces per
ton of silver, which should also be investigated.
- The J vein and Francis stopes
hosted high grade silver mineralization, which should also be
investigated.
In line with the recommendations contained
within this report, the Company launched a first high grade silver
focused exploration campaign in September 2020. The exploration
program consists of 4,570 meters (15,000 feet) of diamond drilling
from surface and underground focused on targets in the upper levels
of the mine located in close proximity to existing infrastructure.
Drilling is advancing on schedule with first drill results expected
to be published in a few weeks’ time.
The Technical Report supports the disclosures
made by the Company in its September 28, 2020 news release
entitled, “Bunker Hill Provides Exploration Update and Announces
Maiden Resource”, and its September 9, 2020 news release entitled,
“Bunker Hill Mining Confirms Numerous High-Grade Silver Exploration
Targets Following Digitisation of Historic Data”. The effective
date of the Technical Report is September 29, 2020, and there are
no material differences between the results announced in the news
release and those contained in the report filed on SEDAR
(www.sedar.com) and available on the Company’s website
(https://bunkerhillmining.com/). The technical report, entitled,
“Technical Report For The Bunker Hill Mine, Coeur d’Alene Mining
District, Shoshone County, Idaho, USA” written by Scott E. Wilson,
CPG, SME-RM of Resource Development Associates, Inc. dated October
15, 2020 (the “Technical Report”) and prepared in accordance with
Canadian Securities National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Properties (“NI 43-101”).

Technical
NoteThe Technical Report is based
on all available technical and scientific data available as of
September 29, 2020. Mineral Resources are considered by the QP to
meet the reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction due
two main factors: 1) cutoff grades are based on scientific data and
assumptions related to the project; and 2) Mineral Resources are
estimated only within blocks of mineralization that have been
accessible in the past by mining operations as well as by using
generally accepted mining and processing costs that are similar to
many projects in Idaho. The exploration and development of mineral
properties involves risk. There can be no assurance that the
exploration program discussed in this Technical Report will result
additional Mineral Resource Estimates. Numerous factors such as
commodity price fluctuations, property tenure, environmental and
permitting issues, metallurgical and geotechnical considerations
may have a material impact on the Bunker Hill Project.
