● the Company’s properties and operations are subject to litigation claims, including the current Crescent Mine litigation; ● the Company’s operations are dependent on information technology systems that may be subject to network disruptions or cyber-attacks;

Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that could cause results, performance, or achievements not to be as anticipated, estimated, intended, or expected. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements may vary, possibly materially, from those anticipated, estimated, intended, or expected. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we disclaim any obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 (Expressed in United States Dollars) 1. Nature and Continuance of Operations Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (“we”, “us”, “Bunker Hill”, or 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 300-1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada,V6E 2E9. 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 (“Bunker Hill Mine”). The Company was incorporated for the purpose of engaging in mineral exploration, and exploitation activities, and is currently focused on the development and planned operations of the Bunker Hill Mine. Bunker Hill holds a 100 % interest in the historic Bunker Hill Mine located in the town of Kellogg, Idaho. The Bunker Hill Mine, which previously operated between 1885 and 1981 producing over 165 million ounces of silver and 5 million tons of base metals during that time. We are currently focused on the construction of mill facilities and upgrades to the historic underground infrastructure as well as further delineating our mineral resources. 2. Significant Accounting Policies 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, 2023. The interim results for the periods ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. 9 Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes for items such as mineral reserves, useful lives and depreciation methods, potential impairment of long-lived assets, sale of mineral properties for the accounting of the conversion of the royalty convertible debenture (the “RCD”), deferred income taxes, settlement pricing of commodity sales, fair value of stock based compensation, accrued liabilities, estimation of asset retirement obligations and reclamation liabilities, convertible debentures, stream obligation, and warrants. Estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. Accounts receivable and prepaid expenses Accounts receivable and prepaid expenses consists of the following: Schedule of Accounts receivable and prepaid expenses September 30, December 31, 2024 2023 Prepaid expenses and deposits $ 529,955 $ 382,198 HST and interest receivable 157,955 121,621 Environment protection agency overpayment (note 8) 60,000 94,582 Total $ 747,910 $ 598,401 4. Equipment, Right-of-Use Asset Equipment consists of the following: Schedule of Equipment September 30, December 31, 2024 2023 Equipment $ 2,134,857 $ 1,460,375 Equipment, gross $ 2,134,857 $ 1,460,375 Less accumulated depreciation ( 662,088 ) ( 513,714 ) Equipment, net $ 1,472,769 $ 946,661 The total depreciation expense relating to equipment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $ 51,416 and $ 148,373 , respectively. Compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $ 30,344 and $ 106,769 , respectively. Right-of-use asset consists of the following: Schedule of Right-of-use Asset September 30, December 31, 2024 2023 Right-of-use asset 698,860 670,808 Less accumulated depreciation ( 178,834 ) ( 45,786 ) Right-of-use asset, net $ 520,026 $ 625,022 The total depreciation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $ 44,349 and $ 133,048 , respectively. Compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $ 6,887 and $ 19,656 respectively. 10 5. Process Plant On May 13, 2022, the Company purchased a comprehensive package of equipment and parts inventory from Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”). 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. 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 is 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 condensed interim consolidated balance sheets as a non-current asset in accordance with a purchase price allocation. As the plant is demobilized, transported and reassembled, installation and other costs associated with these activities is being captured and capitalized as components of the asset. Process plant consists of the following: Schedule of Plant Asset Consists September 30, December 31, 2024 2023 Mill purchase, detailed engineering, and construction costs 48,061,975 17,219,063 Capitalized interest (note 9) 1,276,899 233,407 Disposal of Grinding Circuits ( 984,820 ) - Process Plant $ 48,354,054 $ 17,452,470 In August 2024, the Company sold a Grinding Circuit previously purchased from Teck Resource Limited as part of the Pend Oreille Mill purchase for $ 20,000 recognizing a loss on sale of equipment of $ 308,273 . In September 2024, the Company reclassified two remaining Grinding Circuits as assets held for sale and recognized a loss on sale of equipment of $ 616,547 on the condensed interim consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. 6. Bunker Hill Mine and Mining Interests The Company purchased the Bunker Hill Mine in January 2022. The carrying cost of the Bunker Hill Mine is comprised of the following: Schedule of Mining Interests September 30, December 31, 2024 2023 Bunker Hill Mine purchase $ 14,247,210 $ 14,247,210 Capitalized development 5,029,262 2,722,889 Sale of mineral properties (note 9) ( 1,973,840 ) ( 1,973,840 ) Land 202,000 202,000 Definition drilling 333,770 - Bunker Hill Mine $ 17,838,402 $ 15,198,259 Land purchase and leases The Company owns a 225-acre surface land parcel valued at its original purchase price of $ 202,000 which includes the surface rights to portions of 24 patented mining claims, for which the Company already owns the mineral rights. 11 During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into a lease agreement with C & E Tree Farm LLC for the lease of a land parcel overlaying a portion of the Company’s existing mineral claims package. The Company is committed to making monthly payments of $ 10,000 through February 2026. The Company has the option to purchase the land parcel through March 1, 2026, for $ 3,129,500 less 50% of the payments made through the date of purchase. 7. Lease Liability As of September 30, 2024, The Company’s undiscounted lease obligations consisted of the following: Schedule of Lease Liability September 30, December 31, 2024 2023 Gross lease obligation – minimum lease payments 1 year $ 29,423 $ 393,673 2- 3 years - 73,588 4-5 years - - Future interest expense on lease obligations ( 1,972 ) ( 41,927 ) Total lease liability 27,451 425,334 Current lease liability 27,452 353,526 Non-current lease liability - 71,808 Total lease liability 27,452 425,334 Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $ 2,396 and $ 43,395 , respectively. Compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $ 304 and $ 5,384 , respectively. 8. Environmental Protection Agency and Water Treatment Liabilities (“EPA”) Effective December 19, 2021, the Company entered into an amended Settlement Agreement between the Company, Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, U.S. Department of Justice, and the EPA (the “Amended Settlement”). Upon the effectiveness 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 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: Schedule of Amended Settlement Environmental Protection Agency Agreement Date Amount Within 30 days of Settlement Agreement $ 2,000,000 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 In addition to the changes in payment terms and schedule, the Amended Settlement includes 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. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had two payment bonds of $ 9,999,000 and $ 7,000,000 in place to secure this liability (as of December 31, 2023, the Company had two payment bonds of $ 9,999,000 and $ 5,000,000 , and a $ 2,001,000 letter of credit, in place to secure this liability). The collateral for the payment bonds is comprised of two letters of credit of $ 4,475,000 in aggregate, as well as 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 letters of credit of $ 4,475,000 in aggregate are secured by cash deposits under an agreement with a commercial bank, which comprise the $ 4,475,000 of restricted cash shown within current assets as of September 30, 2024, compared to $ 6,476,000 as of December 31, 2023. 12 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 recorded accretion expense on the liability of $ 508,712 and $ 1,441,373 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, bringing the net liability to $ 11,015,513 (previously accrued interest of $ 154,743 ) as of September 30, 2024. The Company recorded accretion expense on the liability of $ 420,518 and $ 1,191,487 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Water Treatment Charges – Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (“IDEQ”) Separate to the cost recovery liability outlined above, the Company is responsible for the payment of ongoing water treatment charges. Water treatment charges incurred through December 31, 2021, were payable to the EPA, and charges thereafter are payable to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (“IDEQ”) following a handover of responsibilities for the Central Treatment Plant from the EPA to the IDEQ as of that date. The Company currently makes monthly payments of $ 100,000 to the IDEQ as instalments toward the cost of treating water at the Central Treatment Plant. Upon receipt of an invoice from the IDEQ for actual costs incurred, a reconciliation is performed relative to payments made, with an additional payment made or refund received as applicable. The Company accrues $ 100,000 per month based on its estimate of the monthly cost of water treatment. As of September 30, 2024, a prepaid expense of $ 60,000 (December 31, 2023: $ 94,582 ) represented the difference between the estimated cost of water treatment and net payments made by the Company to the IDEQ to date. This balance has been recognized on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets as accounts receivable and prepaid expenses. 9. Promissory Notes Payable, Convertible Debentures, and Silver Loan Promissory Notes On September 22, 2021, the Company issued a non-convertible promissory note of $ 2,500,000 bearing interest of 15 % per annum and payable at maturity. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $ nil and $ nil respectively. Compared to $ 41,410 and $ 151,821 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company incurred a one-time penalty of 10 % of the outstanding principal on June 30, 2023, of $ 99,569 which is included in Loss on debt modification in the condensed interim consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. A final principal payment of $ 1,599,569 was made during the year ended December 31, 2023. On February 21, 2023, the Company issued a non-convertible promissory note to a related party of $ 120,000 , and a separate non-convertible promissory note of $ 120,000 to another party. Each promissory note bore fixed interest of $ 18,000 per annum, payable at maturity. Both promissory notes, including interest, were settled on March 27, 2023. In June 2023, the Company issued a non-convertible promissory note in the amount of $ 150,000 . The promissory note bore fixed interest of $ 15,000 per annum, payable at maturity. The promissory note, including interest, was settled in June 2023. 13 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 expected to fulfill the majority of its funding requirements to restart the Bunker Hill 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”). On June 23, 2023, the Company closed the upsized and improved $ 67,000,000 project finance package with SRSR, consisting of a $ 46,000,000 stream and a $ 21,000,000 new debt facility. The newly proposed $ 46,000,000 stream (the “Stream”) was envisaged to have the same economic terms as the previously proposed $ 37,000,000 stream, with a $ 9,000,000 increase in gross proceeds received by the Company, resulting in a lower cost of capital for the Company. The Company also announced a new $ 21,000,000 debt facility (the “Debt Facility”), available for draw at the Company’s election for two years. As a result, total funding commitments from SRSR was envisaged to increase to $ 96,000,000 including the RCD, CD1, CD2, Stream and debt facility (together, the “Project Financing Package”). The Bridge Loan, as previously envisaged, was to be repaid from the proceeds of the Stream. The parties also agreed to extend the maturities of the CD1 and CD2 to March 31, 2026, when the full $ 6 million and $ 15 million, respectively, will become due. $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 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 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. On June 23, 2023, the funding date of the Stream, the RCD was repaid by the Company granting a royalty for 1.85 % of life-of-mine gross revenue (the “Royalty”) from mining claims historically worked as described above. A 1.35 % rate will apply to claims outside of these areas. The Company has accounted for the Royalty as a sale of mineral properties (refer to note 6 for further detail). $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. 14 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 CD1 should not be treated as an extinguishment of the CD1 and have therefore been accounted for as a modification. Concurrent with the funding of the Stream in June 2023, the Company and Sprott agreed to amend the maturity date of CD1 from March 31, 2025, to March 31, 2026 , and that CD1 would remain outstanding until the new maturity date unless the company elects to exercise its option of early repayment. The Company determined that the amendments to the terms of the CD1 should not be treated as an extinguishment of the CD1 and have therefore been accounted for as a modification. In August 2024, the Company and Sprott agreed to amend the maturity date of CD1 from March 31, 2026, to March 31, 2028 , and that CD1 would remain outstanding until the new maturity date unless the Company elects to exercise its option of early repayment. The Company determined that the amendments to the terms of the CD1 should not be treated as an extinguishment of the CD1 and have therefore been accounted for as a modification. The CD1 is convertible into Common Shares at a price of C$ 0.30 per Common Share, subject to stock exchange approval. $15,000,000 Series 2 Convertible Debenture (CD2) The Company closed the $ 15,000,000 CD2 on June 17, 2022. 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. Concurrent with the funding of the Stream in June 2023, the Company and Sprott agreed to amend the maturity date of the CD2 from 3 quarterly payments of $ 2,000,000 each beginning June 30, 2024, and $ 9,000,000 on March 31, 2025, to payment in full on March 31, 2026, and that the CD2 would remain outstanding until the new maturity date unless the Company elects to exercise its option of early repayment or Sprott elects to exercise its share conversion option. The Company determined that the amendments to the terms of the CD2 should not be treated as an extinguishment of the CD2 and have therefore been accounted for as a modification. In August 2024, the Company and Sprott agreed to amend the maturity date of CD2 from March 31, 2026, to March 31, 2029 , and that CD2 would remain outstanding until the new maturity date unless the Company elects to exercise its option of early repayment. The Company determined that the amendments to the terms of the CD2 should not be treated as an extinguishment of the CD2 and have therefore been accounted for as a modification. The CD2 is convertible into Common Shares at a price of C$ 0.29 per Common Share, subject to stock exchange approval. The Company determined that in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, each debenture will be valued and recorded as a single instrument, with the periodic changes to fair value accounted through earnings, profit and loss. 15 Consistent with the approach above, the following table summarizes the key valuation inputs as at applicable valuation dates using the binomial lattice methodology based on a Cox-Ross-Rubenstein (“CRR”) approach: Schedule of Key Valuation Inputs Reference (1,2,3) Valuation date Maturity date Contractual Interest rate Stock price (US$) Expected equity volatility Credit spread Risk-free rate Risk- adjusted rate CD1 note (1)(2)(3) 12-31-23 03-31-26 7.50 % 0.098 115 % 8.41 % 4.18 % 18.89 % CD2 note (1)(2)(3) 12-31-23 03-31-26 10.50 % 0.098 115 % 8.41 % 4.18 % 20.79 % CD1 note (1)(2)(3) 03-31-24 03-31-26 7.50 % 0.100 110 % 10.07 % 4.59 % 20.77 % CD2 note (1)(2)(3) 03-31-24 03-31-26 10.50 % 0.100 110 % 10.07 % 4.59 % 22.65 % CD1 note (1)(2)(3) 06-30-24 03-31-26 7.50 % 0.117 100 % 13.61 % 4.80 % 24.13 % CD2 note (1)(2)(3) 06-30-24 03-31-26 10.50 % 0.117 100 % 13.61 % 4.80 % 25.97 % CD1 note (1)(2)(3) 09-30-24 03-31-28 7.50 % 0.118 105 % 8.05 % 3.58 % 17.76 % CD2 note (1)(2)(3) 09-30-24 03-31-29 10.50 % 0.118 125 % 8.16 % 3.58 % 19.76 % Convertible Debenture (1)(2)(3) 09-30-24 03-31-29 10.50 % 0.118 125 % 8.16 % 3.58 % 19.76 % (1) The CD1 carried a Discount for Lack of Marketability (“DLOM”) of 5.0 % as of the issuance date. The CD2 carried a DLOM of 10.0 % as of the issuance date. (2) CD1 carries an instrument-specific spread of 7.23 %, CD2 carries an instrument-specific spread of 9.32 % (3) The conversion price of the CD1 is $ 0.222 and CD2 is $ 0.215 as of September 30, 2024. The conversion price of the CD1 is $ 0.227 and CD2 is $ 0.219 as of December 31, 2023. The resulting fair values of the CD1 and CD2 at September 30, 2024, and as of December 31, 2023, were as follows: Schedule of Fair Value Derivative Liability Instrument Description September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 CD1 $ 5,253,730 $ 5,244,757 CD2 13,329,073 13,458,570 Total $ 18,582,803 $ 18,703,327 The (loss) gain on changes in FV of convertible debentures recognized on the condensed interim consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was ($ 144,493 ) and ($ 799,688 ) , respectively, and $ 2,450,968 and $ 2,256,437 for the three and nine month ended September 30, 2023, 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 (loss) income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was ($ 1,151,984 ) and ($ 387,850 ) respectively. Compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $ 68,738 , and $ 502,335 , respectively. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $ 510,411 and $ 1,520,137 , respectively. Compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $ 510,411 and $ 1,857,822 , respectively. At September 30, 2024, interest of $ 510,411 ($ 510,411 at December 31, 2023) is included in interest payable on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets. Interest is due on a quarterly basis. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $ 109,539 and $ 312,864 , respectively, loss on debt settlement in the condensed interim consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income, as a result of settling interest by issuance of shares. Compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $ nil and $ 268,889 , respectively. The Company performs quarterly testing of the covenants in the CD1 and CD2 and was in compliance with all such covenants as of September 30, 2024. 16 The Stream On June 23, 2023, all conditions were met for the closing of the Stream, and $ 46,000,000 was advanced to the Company. The Stream is secured by the same security package that is in place with respect to the RCD, CD1, and CD2. The Stream is repayable by applying 10% of all payable metals sold until a minimum quantity of metal is delivered consisting of, individually, 63.5 million pounds of zinc, 40.4 million pounds of lead, and 1.2 million ounces of silver (subsequently amended, as described below). Thereafter, the Stream would be repayable by applying 2% of payable metals sold. The delivery price of streamed metals will be 20% of the applicable spot price. At the Company’s option, 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 incurred $ 740,956 of transactions costs directly related to the Stream which were capitalized against the initial recognition of the Stream. The Company determined that in accordance with ASC 815 derivatives and hedging, the Stream does not meet the criteria for treatment as a derivate instrument as the quantities of metal to be sold thereunder are not subject to a minimum quantity, and therefore a notional amount is not determinable. The Company has therefore determined that in accordance with ASC 470, the stream obligation should be treated as a liability based on the indexed debt rules thereunder. The initial recognition has been made at fair value based on cash received, net of transaction costs, and the discount rate calibrated so that the future cash flows associated with the Stream, using forward commodity prices, equal the cash received. The measurement of the stream obligation is accounted for at amortized cost with accretion at the discount rate. Subsequent changes to the expected cash flows associated with the Stream will result in the adjustment of the carrying value of the stream obligation using the same discount rate, with changes to the carrying value recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. The Company determined the effective interest rate of the Stream obligation to be 10.7 % and recorded accretion expense on the liability of $ 830,292 and $ 3,107,508 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively ($ 1,321,000 and $ 1,406,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023) recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income, accretion expense on the liability of $ 557,708 and $ 1,043,492 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 ($ nil and $ nil for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023) capitalized into the process plant (note 5) on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets and (loss) gain on revaluation of the liability of ($ 1,793,800 ) and $ 737,200 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively ($ nil and $ nil for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023), bringing the liability to $ 54,551,800 as of September 30, 2024. The revaluation is because of a change in projections. The key assumptions used in the revaluation are production of 700,000,000 lbs of zinc, 385,000,000 lbs of lead, 8,700,000 oz of silver over 14 years and commodity prices of 1.19 $/lb to 1.25 $/lb for zinc, 0.95 $/lb to 0.97 $/lb for lead, and 25.00 $/oz to $30.00 $/oz for silver. $5,000,000 Bridge Loan On December 6, 2022, the Company closed a $ 5,000,000 loan facility with Sprott (the “Bridge Loan”). The Bridge Loan is secured by the same security package in place for the RCD, CD1, and CD2. The Bridge Loan bears interest of 10.5% per annum and matures at the earlier of (i) the advance of the Stream, or (ii) June 30, 2024. In addition, the minimum quantity of metal delivered under the Stream, if advanced, would increase by 5 % relative to amounts previously announced. On June 23, 2023, the Company repaid the outstanding principal and interest on the Bridge Loan recognizing a loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 222,754 in the condensed interim consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. Interest expense for three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $ nil and $ nil respectively. Compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $ nil and $ 346,550 respectively. 17 $21,000,000 Debt Facility On June 23, 2023, the Company closed a $ 21,000,000 debt facility with Sprott which is available for draw at the Company’s election for a period of 2 years. As of December 31, 2023, and September 30, 2024, the Company has not drawn on the facility. Any amounts drawn will bear interest of 10 % per annum, payable annually in cash or capitalized until three years from closing of the Debt Facility at the Company’s election, and thereafter payable in cash only. The maturity date of any drawings under the Debt Facility is June 23, 2027 . For every $ 5 million or part thereof advanced under the Debt Facility, the Company will grant a new 0.5% life-of-mine gross revenue royalty, on the same terms as the Royalty, to a maximum of 2.0% on the Primary Claims and 1.4% on the Secondary Claims. The Company may buy back 50% of these royalties for $ 20 million. The Company determined that no recognition is required on the financial statements as of September 30, 2024, as no amount has been drawn from the facility. On August 8, 2024, the Company and Sprott agreed to extend the maturity date of the debt facility from June 23, 2027, to June 30, 2030, and increased the interest payable from June 30, 2027, onwards from 10 % to 15 %. Silver Loan The Silver Loan is a loan in an amount of US dollars equal to up to 1.2 million ounces of silver, to be advanced in one or more tranches. On August 8, 2024, the Company closed the first tranche Silver Loan in the principal amount of US$ 16,422,039 , being the number of US dollars equal to 609,805 ounces of silver . After deduction of financing costs and the first year interest, the Company received $ 13,225,005 . The Silver Loan will be for a term of three years, secured against the Company’s assets and repayable in cash or silver ounces. The Silver Loan will bear interest at the rate of 15 % per annum, payable in cash or silver ounces on the last day of each quarterly interest period. On September 25, 2024, the Company closed the second tranche Silver Loan in the principal amount of US$ 6,369,000 , being the number of US dollars equal to 200,000 ounces of silver. After deduction of financing costs and the first year interest the Company received $ 5,352,438 . In connection with closing of the First Tranche, the Company issued a total of 1,280,591 Warrants to Monetary Metals & Co. (the “ Tranche 1 Warrants ”). The Tranche 1 Warrants will be exercisable until August 8, 2027, and the Exercise Price of the Tranche 1 Warrants will be C$ 0.16 . The Company determined that in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, the Silver Loan will be valued and recorded as a single instrument, with the periodic changes to fair value accounted through earnings, profit and loss. The fair value of the Silver Loan was determined using the Black-Derman-Toy (“BDT”) model. The BDT model models the evolution of interest rates over time using a binomial tree structure by capturing level of interest rates and volatility and estimates the value of the prepayment option by assessing how the borrower’s incentive to prepay changes with interest rate movements. The key inputs include: Schedule of Estimates Value of Prepayment Option by Assessing Interest Rate Movements Reference Valuation Date Maturity Date Contractual Interest Rate Interest Rate Volatility Risk-free rate Credit Spread Risk-adjusted rate Tranche 1 Aug 8, 2024 Aug 8, 2027 15 % 31.5 % 3.86 % 12.92 % 16.78 % Tranche 2 Sep 25, 2024 Aug 8, 2027 15 % 31.0 % 3.49 % 11.02 % 14.51 % Tranche 1 & 2 Sep 30, 2024 Aug 8, 2027 15 % 31.5 % 3.59 % 7.98 % 11.57 % The resulting fair values of the Silver Loan at September 30, 2024, and as of the issuance dates, were as follows: Reference Sep 30, 2024 Sep 25, 2024 Aug 8, 2024 Silver Loan $ 22,851,286 $ 21,821,611 $ 13,225,005 The (loss) on changes in FV of Silver Loan recognized on the condensed interim consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was ($ 2,109,601 ) and ($ 2,109,601 ) , respectively, and $ nil and $ nil for the three and nine month ended September 30, 2023, 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 (loss) income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was ($ 2,164,242 ) and ($ 2,164,242 ) respectively. Compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $ nil , and $ nil , respectively. 18 10. Capital Stock, Warrants and Stock Options Authorized The total authorized capital is as follows: ● 1,500,000,000 Common Shares with a par value of $ 0.000001 per Common Share; and ● 10,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $ 0.000001 per preferred share Issued and outstanding In January 2023, the Company issued 6,377,272 shares of common stock in connection with its election to satisfy interest payments under the outstanding convertible debentures for the three months ending December 31, 2022. In March 2023, the Company issued 9,803,574 shares of common stock in connection with its election to satisfy interest payments under the outstanding convertible debentures for the three months ending March 31, 2023. In March 2023, the Company amended the exercise price and expiry date of 10,416,667 warrants which were previously issued in a private placement to Teck Resources (“Teck”) on May 13, 2022 in consideration for the Company’s acquisition of the Pend Oreille process plant. The warrant entitled the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Share of the Company at an exercise price of C$ 0.37 per Warrant at any time on or prior to May 12, 2025. The Company amended the exercise price of the warrants from C$ 0.37 to C$ 0.11 per Warrant and the expiry date from May 12, 2025, to March 31, 2023 , resulting in a gain on modification of warrants of $ 214,714 . In March 2023, Teck exercised all 10,416,667 warrants at an exercise price of C$ 0.11 , for aggregate gross proceeds of C$ 1,145,834 to the Company. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized a change in derivative liability of $ 400,152 relating to the Teck warrants using the following assumptions: volatility of 120 %, stock price of C$ 0.11 , interest rate of 3.42 % to 4.06 %, and dividend yield of 0 %. In March 2023, the Company closed a brokered private placement of special warrants of the Company (the “March 2023 Offering”), issuing 51,633,727 special warrants of the Company (“March 2023 Special Warrants”) at C$ 0.12 per March 2023 Special Warrant for $ 4,536,020 (C$ 6,196,047 ), of which $ 3,661,822 was received in cash and $ 874,198 was applied towards settlement of accounts payable, accrued liabilities and promissory notes. In connection with the March 2023 Offering, each March 2023 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 “March 2023 Unit”). Each March 2023 Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company (each, a “Unit Share”) and one common stock purchase warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one share of common stock of the Company (a “Warrant Share”, and together with the Unit Shares, the “Underlying Shares”) at an exercise price of C$0.15 per Warrant Share until March 27, 2026, subject to adjustment in certain events. In the event that the Registration Statement had not been declared effective by the SEC on or before 5:00 p.m. (EST) on July 27, 2023, each unexercised Special Warrant would be deemed to be exercised on the Automatic Exercise Date into one penalty unit of the Company (each, a “Penalty Unit”), with each Penalty Unit being comprised of 1.2 Unit Shares and 1.2 Warrants. Notice of such effectiveness was received on July 11, 2023, eliminating the potential for issuance of the Penalty Units. In connection with the March 2023 Offering, the Company incurred share issuance costs of $ 585,765 and issued 2,070,258 compensation options (the “March 2023 Compensation Options”). Each March 2023 Compensation Option is exercisable at an exercise price of C$ 0.15 into one Unit Share and one Warrant Share. The Special Warrants issued on March 27, 2023, were converted to 51,633,727 shares of common stock and common stock purchase warrants on July 24, 2023. The Company determined that in accordance with ASC 815 derivatives and hedging, each Special Warrant will be valued and carried as a single instrument, with the periodic changes to fair value accounted through earnings, profit and loss until the shares of common stock and common stock purchase warrants are issued. 19 In May 2023, the Company issued 1,318,183 shares of common stock in connection with settlement of RSUs.

The Tranche 1 Warrants will be exercisable until August 8, 2027, at an exercise price of C$ 0.16 . In 2024, 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 marked to market at each financial reporting period. The change in fair value of the warrant is recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income as a gain or loss and is estimated using the Binomial model. 20 The fair value of the warrant liabilities related to the various tranches of warrants issued during the period were estimated using the Binomial model to determine the fair value using the following assumptions as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023: Schedule of Estimated Using the Binomial Model to Determine the Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities August 2024 warrants September 30, 2024 Grant Date Expected life 1,042 days 1,095 days Volatility 100 % 105 % Risk free interest rate 2.91 % 3.25 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Share price (C$) $ 0.16 $ 0.16 Fair value $ 92,115 $ 98,493 Change in derivative liability $ ( 6,378 ) March 2023 warrants September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Expected life 543 days 817 days Volatility 24 % 24 % Risk free interest rate 2.91 % 3.88 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Share price (C$) $ 0.16 $ 0.11 Fair value $ 1,051,876 $ 281,085 Change in derivative liability $ 770,791 April 2022 special warrants issuance September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Expected life 183 days 457 days Volatility 60 % 110 % Risk free interest rate 2.91 % 3.88 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Share price (C$) $ 0.16 $ 0.11 Fair value $ 1 $ 546,592 Change in derivative liability $ ( 546,591 ) April 2022 non-brokered issuance September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Expected life 183 days 457 days Volatility 60 % 110 % Risk free interest rate 2.91 % 3.88 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Share price (C$) $ 0.16 $ 0.11 Fair value $ 1 $ 21,253 Change in derivative liability $ ( 21,252 ) June 2022 issuance September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Expected life 183 days 457 days Volatility 60 % 110 % Risk free interest rate 2.91 % 3.88 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Share price (C$) $ 0.16 $ 0.11 Fair value $ 1 $ 17,589 Change in derivative liability $ ( 17,588 ) 21 February 2021 issuance September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Expected life 497 days 771 days Volatility 85 % 110 % Risk free interest rate 2.91 % 3.88 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Share price (C$) $ 0.16 $ 0.11 Fair value $ 198,474 $ 367,349 Change in derivative liability $ ( 168,875 ) June 2019 issuance September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Expected life 457 days 731 days Volatility 85 % 110 % Risk free interest rate 2.91 % 3.88 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Share price (C$) $ 0.16 $ 0.11 Fair value $ 67,374 $ 226,570 Change in derivative liability $ ( 159,196 ) August 2019 issuance September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Expected life 457 days 731 days Volatility 85 % 110 % Risk free interest rate 2.91 % 3.88 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Share price (C$) $ 0.16 $ 0.11 Fair value $ 103,545 $ 348,211 Change in derivative liability $ ( 244,666 ) Outstanding warrants at September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were as follows: Schedule of Warrant Activity Weighted Weighted average average Number of exercise price grant date warrants (C$) value ($) Balance, December 31, 2022 162,129,064 $ 0.49 $ 0.17 Issued 51,633,727 0.15 0.05 Expired ( 58,284,148 ) 0.50 0.27 Exercised ( 10,416,667 ) 0.11 0.12 Balance, September 30, 2023 145,061,976 $ 0.37 $ 0.09 Balance, December 31, 2023 145,061,976 $ 0.37 $ 0.09 Issued 1,280,591 0.16 0.08 Balance, September 30, 2024 146,342,567 $ 0.37 $ 0.09 During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 10,416,667 May 2022 Teck warrants were exercised.

Commitments and Contingencies As stipulated in the agreement with the EPA and as described in note 8, 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 lawsuit is without merit and is vigorously defending 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 Bunker Hill Mine on December 15, 2021. The lawsuit is currently in the discovery phase, in which information is gathered and exchanged. 14. Deferred tax liability The Company recorded income tax recovery of $ 448,884 and $ 1,653,562 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and incurred no income tax recovery or expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 was 9.4 % compared to 0.0 % for the first nine months of 2023. The effective tax rate during the first nine months of 2024 rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the recognition of deferred tax assets available to offset the deferred tax liability associated with the Stream Obligation. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against net operating losses subject to Section 382 and other deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate during the first nine months of 2023 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance established to offset net deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will record or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if it is determined that the Company will likely ultimately be able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. 26 15.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation The following management’s discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial results and condition of Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Bunker Hill” or the “Company”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, has been prepared based on information available to us as of November 7, 2024. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included herewith and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of Bunker Hill for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes thereto filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth elsewhere in this report. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” All currency amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. Description of Business Corporate Information 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. On February 11, 2010, the Company changed its name to Liberty Silver Corp and subsequently, 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 300-1055 West Hastings Street Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2E9, and its telephone number is 604.417.7952. The Company’s website is www.bunkerhillmining.com. Information appearing on the website is not incorporated by reference into this report. Overview and Outlook Our primary focus is the development and restart of our 100% owned Bunker Hill Mine (the “Bunker Hill Mine”) in Kellogg, Idaho, USA. The Mine is 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. The Company was incorporated for the initial purpose of mineral exploration at the Bunker Hill Mine. The Company has moved into the development stage concurrent with (i) purchasing the mine and a process plant, (ii) completing successive technical and economic studies, including a Prefeasibility Study, (iii) delineating mineral reserves, and (iv) advancing the construction of the facilities for a planned commencement of operations during the first half of 2025. In May 2024, we initiated a mineral resource expansion and exploration diamond drilling program in support of the staged restart plan. The program includes 8,975 feet of core to be drilled from underground to further define and expand a portion of the existing resource that is in close proximity to where the initial mining will occur. Current External Factors Impacting our Business In 2022, the United States Geological Survey included zinc as a critical material as it is essential to the U.S. economy and national security, and because the domestic supply chain is vulnerable to disruption due to China’s supply dominance. Zinc uses range from metal products to rubber and medicines. About three-fourths of zinc used is consumed as metal, mainly as a coating to protect iron and steel from corrosion (galvanized metal), as alloying metal to make bronze and brass, as zinc-based die casting alloy, and as rolled zinc. Due to the dominance of China over certain critical materials production, including zinc, the U.S. federal government is taking certain actions to support the domestic critical materials supply chain, including tax incentives and federal loan programs specifically designed to support critical materials producers, and to strengthen the defense industrial base with respect to critical minerals including zinc. During the first nine months of 2024, we have monitored the general U.S. political climate and actions taken by the U.S. government to secure domestic critical materials, including zinc, which is one of the materials in our Bunker Hill Mine deposit, along with silver and lead. In addition, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and other external influences (such as the Russia/Ukraine war and conflicts in the Middle East, including the Israel war) have further focused the U.S. government on the importance of implementing secure domestic supply chains, including for critical and base metal materials. The Company monitors and participates in these initiatives as they are critical to the production of domestic defense and other technologies. Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis provides 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, 2024, and September 30, 2023. Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 Revenue During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, we generated no revenue. Expenses During the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, we reported total operating expenses of $3,434,359 and $2,771,722, respectively. The increase in total operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in the volume of transactions and head count associated with construction of the process plant commencing in the quarter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, we reported total operating expenses of $11,372,104 and $8,294,183, respectively. The increase in total operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in the volume of transactions and head count associated with construction of the process plant commencing in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. 28 Net loss and Comprehensive loss We experienced a net loss of $8,078,972 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 (compared to net income of $7,447,860 for the three months ended September 30, 2023). In addition to the increase in operating expenses (as described above), net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was impacted by an increase in financing costs of $759,913 and a loss on revaluation of the Silver Loan of $2,109,601 compared to $nil and $nil respectively for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The net loss in the 2024 quarter compared to net income for the 2023 quarter was due to a loss in derivative liability of $7,522,530 (gain of $1,009,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a gain of $8,531,630 for the three months ended September 30, 2023), which was driven by a proportionally smaller appreciation in the Company ’ s share price in the third quarter of 2024 relative to the third quarter of 2023. Additionally, a loss on fair value of the convertible debentures of $144,193 was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a gain of $2,450,968 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This 2024 loss on the fair value of the convertible debentures was partially offset by a gain resulting from the modification of the convertible debenture of $1,308,062 compared to $nil for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively. The three month period ended September 30, 2024 included a $1,793,800 loss ($nil for the three months ended September 30, 2023) on the revaluation of the stream debenture due to updated key assumptions such as commodity prices. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred a loss of $924,820 from the sale of equipment ($nil for the three months ended September 30, 2023). Net loss for the three months ending September 30, 2024 included a deferred tax recovery of $448,844 compared to deferred tax recovery of $903,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. We experienced a net loss of $17,563,412 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (compared to a net loss of $7,618,775 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023). In addition to the increase in operating expenses (as described above), net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was impacted by an increase in interest expense of $1,105,721 ($6,112,413 and $5,006,692 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively), and $nil of gain on debt settlement for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $7,117,420 of gain on debt settlement relating to the conversion of the royalty convertible debenture into a royalty during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. A loss on fair value of the convertible debenture of $799,688 was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a gain of $2,256,437 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Additionally, the nine months ended September 30, 2024, includes $2,109,601 ($nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2023) loss on revaluation of the Silver Loan due to updated key assumptions such as commodity prices. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred a loss of $924,820 from the sale of equipment ($nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2023). This was partially offset by a gain on in derivative liabilities of $393,755 in the 2024 period compared to a loss of $488,357 in the 2023 period (driven by the Company’s share price increasing during the first nine months of 2024 compared to a decrease in the first nine months of 2023) and a gain on debt modification of $1,308,062 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a loss on debt modification of $99,569 for the nine months ended September 2023. Net loss for the nine months ending September 30, 2024, included a deferred tax recovery of $1,653,562 compared to deferred tax expense of $2,605,741 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We had a comprehensive loss of $11,395,198 and $20,115,504 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to comprehensive income (loss) of $7,516,598 and $(7,116,440) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Comprehensive (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, is inclusive of a $(3,316,226) and $(2,552,092) loss on change in fair value on own credit risk compared to income of $68,738 and $502,335 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources Current Assets and Total Assets As of September 30, 2024, the Company had total current assets were $12,644,351, compared to total current assets of $27,176,997 at December 31, 2023 – a decrease of $14,532,646; and total assets of $81,734,573, compared to total assets of $61,989,678 at December 31, 2023 – a increase of $19,744,895. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our current assets decreased due to cash expenditures on the process plant, purchasing of equipment and additions to the Bunker Hill Mine. Total assets increased slightly as the increase in property plant and equipment was offset largely by the decrease in cash. 29 Current Liabilities and Total Liabilities As of September 30, 2024, our total current liabilities of $23,484,810 and total liabilities of $125,714,546, compared to total current liabilities of $7,472,326 and total liabilities of $88,356,840 at December 31, 2023. Total liabilities increased because of the issuance of the silver loan, accretion on the stream debenture and the environmental protection agency payable as well as an increase in accounts payable and accruals due to timing of invoices and payments. Working Capital and Shareholders’ Deficit As of September 30, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $10,840,459 and a shareholders’ deficiency of $43,979,973 compared to a working capital of $19,704,671 and a shareholders’ deficiency of $26,367,162 as of December 31, 2023. The working capital balance decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to cash expenditures on the process plant, purchasing of equipment, and additions to the Bunker Hill Mine. The shareholders’ deficiency increased primarily due to the net loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In order to meet our funding needs, as discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, we are in the process of securing a US dollar loan amount equal to up to 1.2 million ounces of silver, to be advanced in one or more tranches. On August 8, 2024, we closed the first tranche of the Silver Loan in the principal amount of $16,422,039, being the number of US dollars equal to 609,805 ounces of silver. After deduction of financing costs and the first-year interest we received $13,225,005. On September 25, 2024, we closed the second tranche Silver Loan in the principal amount of $6,369,000, being the number of US dollars equal to 200,000 ounces of silver. After deduction of financing costs and the first-year interest we received $5,352,438. On November 6, 2024, we closed the third tranche of the Silver Loan in the principal amount of $6,321,112, being the number of US dollars equal to 198,777 ounces of silver. After deduction of financing costs and the first-year interest the Company received $5,422,474. Subsequent tranches under the Silver Loan are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. As also discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, we have a $21,000,000 debt facility with Sprott which is available at our election for a period of 2 years, ending on June 23, 2027. As of September 30, 2024, we have not drawn on this facility. We also plan to secure additional financial resources through potential equity financings and other strategic initiatives, including our EXIM direct loan application. Ultimately, if the Company is unable to secure sufficient additional financial resources, the Company may need to curtail or suspend its development or operations plans regarding the Bunker Hill Mine or other initiatives. Cash Flow During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net cash decrease of $14,722,155, primarily due to cash expenditures on the process plant, purchasing of equipment, and additions to the Bunker Hill Mine offset by $18,108,114 of cash provided by financing activities relating to the issuance of the Silver Loan. Subsequent Events Warrant Issuance On October 1, 2024, in connection with closing of the Second Tranche, the Company issued 400,000 Warrants to Monetary Metals & Co. The Tranche 2 Warrants will be exercisable until August 8, 2027, at an exercise price of C$0.16. Share Issuance On October 3, 2024, the Company issued 5,175,000 shares of common stock in connection with its election to satisfy interest payments under the outstanding convertible debentures for the three months ending September 30, 2024. On October 28, 2024, the Company issued 750,000 shares of common stock to satisfy C$120,000 owed to a former director as of September 30, 2024. DSU Grant On October 1, 2024, 337,475 DSU’s were granted to a director of the Company. The DSU award vests on October 1, 2025. New Director On October 1, 2024, the Company appointed Kelli Kast to its Board of Directors and Chair of its Governance and Nominations Committee. Export-Import Bank of the United States (“EXIM”) Direct Loan Program Letter of Interest On October 28, 2024 the Company received a non-binding Letter of Interest from EXIM for a debt funding package of up to $150M with a loan term of up to 15 years. The funding, if and when secured following a full application process, would enable the Company to expedite the development of the 2500tpd Bunker 2.0 expansion project coincident with restarting the mine and strengthening the balance sheet. Silver Loan On November 6, 2024, the Company closed the third tranche of the Silver Loan in the principal amount of $6,321,112, being the number of US dollars equal to 198,777 ounces of silver. After deduction of financing costs and the first-year interest the Company received $5,422,474. 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 sheets 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. 30 Convertible Loans, Promissory Notes, Stream Obligation and Warrants 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 derivative liability, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The fair value estimates of the convertible loans use inputs to the valuation model that include risk-free rates, equity value per share of common stock, USD-CAD exchange rates, spot and futures prices of minerals, expected equity volatility, expected volatility in minerals prices, discount for lack of marketability, credit spread, expected mineral production over the life of the Bunker Hill Mine, and project risk/estimation risk factors. The stream obligation inputs used to determine the future cash flows and effective interest for the amortized cost calculation include futures prices of minerals and expected mineral production over the life of the Bunker Hill Mine. The fair value estimates may differ from actual fair values and these differences may be significant and could have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheets and the consolidated statements of operations. Assets are reviewed for an indication of impairment at each reporting date. This determination requires significant judgment. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant negative industry or economic trends, interruptions in exploration activities or a significant drop in precious metal prices. Accrued liabilities 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 IDEQ. Using the actual costs in the annual invoice, the Company will then reassess its estimate for future periods. Given the nature, complexity and variability of the various actual cost items included in the invoice, the Company has used the most recent invoice as its estimate of the water treatment costs for future periods. Incremental Borrowing rate The Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of future lease payments. Actual results may be different from estimates. Borrowing Cost Capitalization rate The Company makes estimates to determine the percentage of borrowing costs that are capitalized into property plant and equipment. Actual results may be different. 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 conclusion that the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024. 31 Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and related financial information appearing in this report. The financial statements and notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The management of the Company also is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls, procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. With the participation of the CEO and CFO, the Company’s management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2024. 32 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 is vigorously defending 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 Bunker Hill Mine on December 15, 2021. On October 26, 2021, the Company asserted claims against Crescent in a separate lawsuit, which has been consolidated into the Crescent lawsuit. The Company commenced Bunker Hill Mining Corporation v. Venzee Technologies Inc. et al, Case No. 2:21-cv-209-REP, in the US District Court for the District of Idaho on May 14, 2021. The Company has subsequently executed a tolling agreement with Venzee in exchange for dropping its claims against Venzee. 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. The Court consolidated the two lawsuits on April 19, 2022. The consolidated lawsuits are currently in the discovery phase, in which information is gathered and exchanged. Item 1A.
