REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Bunker Hill Mining Corp.:
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31,
2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’
deficiency for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the
“consolidated financial statements”).
In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of
the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company
in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part
of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements
that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are
material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The
communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole,
and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the
accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Critical
Audit Matter Description
Audit
Response
Valuation
of Series 1, 2, & 3 Convertible Debentures (“CDs”)
The
Company had previously issued Series 1 & 2 CDs which are complex in nature and were required to be fair valued at the end of
each reporting period. Series 1 & 2 CDs were amended on June 5, 2025, and were required to be fair valued pre-amendment and post-amendment.
In addition, the Company issued Series 3 CD on June 5, 2025, that is required to be fair valued on issuance date.
The
calculation of the fair value of the CDs requires management to use an appropriate valuation model and incorporates estimates.
This
resulted in an increased extent of audit effort, including the involvement of internal valuation specialists.
Due
to the complexity of these CDs and the estimates and assumptions involved in the determination of fair value we consider this to
be a critical audit matter.
Refer
to Note 3 Significant Account Policies – Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Note 10 Debt Instruments.
We
responded to this matter by performing audit procedures in relation to the valuation of the CDs. Our audit work in relation to this included,
but was not restricted to, the following:
● Obtained
and assessed all new and amended agreements signed in the year in relation to the CDs.
● Obtained
management’s assessment of the fair value of the CDs.
● With
the assistance of internal valuation specialists, evaluated the reasonability of management’s model for valuing the CDs and
the appropriateness of the inputs used in the model, and recalculated fair values.
● Assessed
the appropriateness of the related disclosures.
Valuation
of Silver Loan
The
Company had previously closed multiple tranches of advancements relating to a loan in an amount of U.S. dollars equal up to 1.2 million
ounces of silver (“Silver Loan”) with the addition of a new tranche closed in 2025.
The
loan is complex in nature and is required to be fair valued on issuance date and at each reporting period.
The
calculation of the fair value of the Silver Loan requires management to use an appropriate valuation model and incorporates estimates.
This
resulted in an increased extent of audit effort, including the involvement of internal valuation specialists.
Due
to the complexity of the Silver Loan and the estimates and assumptions involved in the determination of fair value we consider this
to be a critical audit matter.
Refer
to Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies – Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Note 10 Debt Instruments.
We
responded to this matter by performing audit procedures in relation to the valuation of the Silver Loan. Our audit work in relation to
this included, but was not restricted to, the following:
● Obtained
and assessed all new and amended agreements signed in the year in relation to the Silver Loan.
●
Obtained management’s assessment of the fair value of the Silver Loan.
● With
the assistance of internal valuation specialists, evaluated the reasonability of management’s model for valuing the Silver
Loan and the appropriateness of the inputs used in the model, and recalculated fair values.
● Assessed
the appropriateness of the related disclosures.

Critical
Audit Matter Description
Audit
Response
Restructuring
On
June 5, 2025, the Company undertook a series of transactions to restructure its balance sheet. This involved both debt and capital
transactions.
Given
the various new and amended debt and equity instruments involved, there was increased complexity in appropriately accounting for
the restructuring.
We
identified the evaluation of the accounting treatment of these transactions as a critical audit matter given the increased extent
of audit effort that was required.
Refer
to Note 10 Debt Instruments and Note 11 Capital Stock, Warrants and Stock Options.
We
responded to this matter by performing audit procedures to assess the accounting treatment of the restructuring transactions. Our audit
work in relation to this included, but was not restricted to, the following:
●
Obtained and assessed all agreements signed in the year in relation to the restructuring.
●
Obtained management’s assessment of the accounting treatment of the various transactions involved.
●
Evaluated the reasonability of management’s assessment.
●
Assessed the appropriateness of the related disclosures.

Nature 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 Canadian 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 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 the Bunker Hill Mine mill facilities and upgrades to the Bunker Hill Mine historic underground
infrastructure as well as further delineating the mine’s mineral resources.

Basis of presentation
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America applicable to exploration stage enterprises. The consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars,
the Company and subsidiary Silver Valley Metals Corp.’s functional currency.
3.
Significant accounting policies
The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Basis
of consolidation
These
consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and expenses of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Silver
Valley Metals Corp. (formerly American Zinc Corp.). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
Cash
and cash equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents may include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Mineral
rights, property and acquisition costs
The
Company transitioned from the exploration stage to the development stage at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company
has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.
The
Company capitalizes acquisition costs of mineral rights as intangible assets when there is sufficient evidence to support probability
of generating positive economic returns in the future. Upon commencement of commercial production, the mineral rights will be amortized
using the unit-of-production method over the life of the mineral rights.
The
costs of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon acquisition. Mine development costs incurred to develop and expand the capacity
of mines, or to develop mine areas in advance of production, are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property
is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current exploration or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged
to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment.
54
Borrowing
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that takes a substantial period of time
to prepare for its intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs begins when there
are borrowings, and activities commence to prepare an asset for its intended use. Capitalization of borrowing costs ends when substantially
all activity necessary to prepare a qualifying asset for its intended use are complete. When proceeds of project-specific borrowings
are invested on a temporary basis, borrowing costs are capitalized net of any investment income.
Equipment
Equipment
is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 10 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Upon
sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss
is reflected in other income or gain (expense or loss).
The
Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives
of equipment or whether the remaining balance of the equipment should be evaluated for possible impairment. If events and circumstances
warrant evaluation, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the equipment in measuring
their recoverability.
Leases
Operating
lease right of use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities
are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases
do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date
in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over
the lease term and is included in operation and administration expenses in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Rental
income obtained through subleases is recorded as income over the lease term and is offset against operation and administration expenses.
Impairment
of long-lived assets
The
Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying
amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment,
if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable. When the Company determines that an impairment
analysis should be done, the analysis is performed using the rules of FASB ASC 930-360-35, Extractive Activities – Mining, and
360-10-15-3 through 15-5, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Various
factors could impact the Company’s ability to achieve forecasted production schedules. Additionally, commodity prices, capital
expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions the Company may use in future production cash flow models
when compared to factors used to assess impairment. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from development
stage mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable
reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined
economically.
55
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy
for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined
as follows:
●
Level
1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
●
Level
2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
●
Level
3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.
The
carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable excluding HST, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities, interest payable, promissory notes payable, current portion of environmental protection agency cost
recovery payable, and current portion of lease liability, all of which qualify as financial instruments, are a reasonable estimate
of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and
current market rate of interest. From January 1, 2025 to June 5, 2025 the carrying amounts of convertible loans were reported at
estimated fair values as a result of the application of fair value models at each period end. The Company measures its DSU liability
at fair value on recurring basis using level 1 inputs. Derivative warrant liabilities, silver loan, and convertible debentures are
measured at fair value on recurring basis using level 3 inputs. The Company measured the non-current portion of the EPA liability
and the stream debenture using a discount rate that represents the market rate. The Company measures its lease liabilities using the
rate implicit in the lease or incremental borrowing rate if the rate implicit in the lease is not available.
Environmental
expenditures
The
operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time, in varying degrees, by changes in environmental
regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall
effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet, or if possible, surpass standards
set by relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.
Environmental
expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are expensed as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending
on their future economic benefits. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably
determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.
Income
taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 740, Income Taxes (“FASB ASC 740”),
on a tax jurisdictional basis. The Company files income tax returns in the United States.
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and the consolidated financial statements reported amounts using enacted tax rates and laws in effect in the year
in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is determined
to be more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The
Company assesses the likelihood of the consolidated financial statements effect of a tax position that should be recognized when it is
more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the
tax position, circumstances, and information available as of the reporting date. The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities
in jurisdictions such as the United States. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that would result
in an asset or liability for taxes being recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes tax-related
interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense.
FSAB
ASC 740 prescribes recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the consolidated financial statements recognition and measurement
of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in periods, disclosure and transition. At December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, the Company has not
taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.
56
Basic
and diluted net (loss) income per share
The
Company computes net (loss) income per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share (“FASB ASC 260”). Under
the provisions of FASB ASC 260, basic net (loss) income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common
stock and, if dilutive, potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Potential shares of common stock consist of the
incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”), warrants
and the conversion of convertible loan payable. As of December 31, 2025, a $ 6,000,000 convertible debenture (the “CD1”),
a $ 15,000,000 convertible debenture (the “CD2”), 51,832 stock options, 18,491,855 warrants, and 760,767 broker options,
and 332,209 RSUs were considered in the calculation but not included, as they were anti-dilutive (December 31, 2024 - a $ 6,000,000
convertible debenture (the “CD1”), a $ 15,000,000 convertible debenture (the “CD2”), 184,147 stock options,
4,206,771 warrants, 59,149 broker options and 400,757 RSUs were considered in the calculation but not included).
Stock-based
compensation
In
December 2004, FASB issued FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC 718”), which establishes standards
for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions
in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity
instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. FASB ASC 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions
in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. FASB ASC 718 requires that the compensation cost relating
to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair
value of the equity or liability instruments issued.
Restricted
share units
The
Company estimates the grant date fair value of RSUs using the Company’s common stock at the grant date. The Company records the
value of the RSUs in paid-in capital.
Deferred
share units (“DSUs”)
The
Company estimates the grant date fair value of the DSUs using the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the day of grant.
The Company records the value of the DSUs owing to its directors as DSU liability and measures the DSU liability at fair value at each
reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized as stock-based compensation in profit (loss).
Use
of estimates and assumptions
Many
of the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements require management to make judgments and/or estimates. These judgments
and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances.
Actual results may differ from the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements.
Areas
of significant judgment and estimates affecting the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include:
Going
concern
The
assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves judgement regarding future funding available for its
operations and working capital requirements. Judgement is also required in determining if disclosure of a material uncertainty related
to events or conditions which might cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is required
in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. This judgment is dependent on management’s expectation of future net cash
flows, exiting borrowing capacity and financial obligations in the next 12 months.
Although,
during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had a loss from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities, the
Company was able to restructure its debt and secure financings to fulfil its operational needs. Based on management’s expectations
of future net cash flows, management has applied judgment that there is no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that
may cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
57
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 the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (“IDEQ”).
Using the actual costs in the annual invoice, the Company then reassesses 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.
Convertible
Loans, Promissory Notes, Stream Obligation, Silver Loan 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, USD-CAD exchange rates and dividend yield and making assumptions
about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value of warrants derivative liability are disclosed in Notes 11.
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, expected equity volatility, expected volatility in minerals prices, credit spread, and project
risk/estimation risk factors. See Note 10 for full disclosures related to the convertible loans and promissory notes.
The
fair value estimates of the silver loan use inputs to the valuation model that include risk-free rates, spot and futures prices of minerals,
expected volatility in minerals prices, credit spread, and project risk/estimation risk factors. See Note 10 for full disclosures related
to the silver loan.
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 mine. See Note 10 for full disclosures related to the stream
obligation.
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.
Impairment
of mineral properties, plant and equipment
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.
Incremental
borrowing rate
Estimating
the present value of minimum future lease payments requires determining the most appropriate incremental borrowing rate. The assessment
of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate involves judgment regarding the cost of borrowings for the related asset.
Borrowing
cost capitalization rate
The
assessment of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate involves judgment on what qualifies as a qualifying asset and on determining
the capitalization rates.
58
Concentrations
of credit risk
The
Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and restricted
cash. The Company places its cash with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash equivalents with a particular
financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management also routinely assesses the
financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds and as such, it believes that any associated credit
risk exposures are limited.
Risks
and uncertainties
The
Company operates in the mineral resource exploration and mine development industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties,
including financial, operational, and other risks associated with operating a mineral resource exploration business, including the potential
risk of business failure.
Foreign
currency transactions
The
Company from time to time will receive invoices from service providers that are presenting their invoices using the Canadian dollar.
The Company will use its U.S. dollars to settle the Canadian dollar liabilities and any differences resulting from the exchange transaction
are reported as gain or loss on foreign exchange.
Debt
instruments
The
Company reviews the terms of its agreements to identify any embedded derivatives. If an embedded derivative is identified in a contract
the Company assesses if it is clearly and closely related to the host debt. If the embedded derivative is determined to not be clearly
and closely related to the host debt the fair value election is made to account for the entire instrument at fair value with the change
in fair value accounted through earnings, profit and loss for each period reported.
The
Company applies ASC 480 distinguishing liabilities from equity and ASC 815 derivatives and hedging in determining the appropriate
accounting treatment for hybrid instruments. Until June 5, 2025 the Company measured the whole instrument at fair value per the
fair value election therefore, the embedded options within the convertible loans are not bifurcated and measured at fair value at
each period end.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
New
Accounting Pronouncements – In December 2023 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09
enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosure through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes
paid information. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 during the fourth quarter of 2025. The adoption did not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements or disclosures, see note 16 for further details
New
Accounting Pronouncements – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive
Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40).” ASU 2024-03 provides guidance requiring that public business
entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements. The standard is effective
for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with
early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods
after the effective date, or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.
59
Other
accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have
a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Process Plant
On
May 13, 2022, the Company purchased a comprehensive package of equipment and parts inventory from Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”).
The package comprised 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
reassembled it. The Company determined that the transaction would 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 was separated out on the consolidated balance sheets as a current asset. As the plant is demobilized,
transported and reassembled, installation and other costs associated with these activities were captured and capitalized as
components of the asset.

recognizing a loss on sale of equipment of $ 308,273 . In September 2024, the Company reclassified two remaining Grinding Circuits as assets
at $ 40,000 held for sale and recognized a loss on sale of equipment of $ 616,547 on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive
loss. In 2025, the Company scrapped the remaining griding circuits, classified as asset held for sale, recognizing a loss on sale of equipment
of $ 40,000 on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Depreciation expense will commence once the process plant is placed in service which is expected to take place in

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.
On
March 3, 2023, the Company entered into a lease agreement with C & E Tree Farm LLC (“C & E”) 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. On June 5, 2025, the Company executed an equity payment agreement with C
& E Tree Farm, L.L.C., pursuant to which the Company issued 136,055
June 5, 2025 units (note 11) to C&E at a deemed price $ 3.68
to satisfy $ 500,000
of the purchase price payable under an existing option agreement between Silver Valley and C&E, dated March 3, 2023.
Additionally, on June 6, 2025, the Company paid $ 500,000
to C&E Tree Farm LLC to satisfy $ 500,000
of the purchase price payable under an existing option agreement between Silver Valley and C&E dated March 3, 2023. This balance
($ 1,000,000 ) has been recognized on
the consolidated balance sheets as long term deposit. The Company exercised its option to purchase the land parcel in 2026 (note 20).
On
December 12, 2025, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Silver Dollar Resources (Idaho) Inc., a subsidiary of
Silver Dollar Resources Inc. (“Silver Dollar”), to acquire the Ranger Page property which includes, six past-producing
underground high-grade silver-lead-zinc mines located immediately adjacent to and to the west of the Bunker Hill Mine in the
prolific Silver Valley mining district of Idaho, USA. The Company acquired the properties for total consideration of approximately
$ 4,200,000
comprised of 666,667
shares of Bunker Hill’s common stock, subject to the below contractual escrow.

Sale
of Mineral Properties
On
June 5, 2025, as consideration for Sprott Private Resource Streaming & Royalty Corp. (“Sprott”) stream conversion as
described in note 10, the Company granted a royalty for 1.65 %
of life-of-mine gross revenue from mining claims compromising of both primary and secondary claims, as well as any new or
complementing surface and mineral rights derived from the surface and mineral rights within the existing boundaries of the Bunker
Hill Mine that are subsequently acquired by the Company or Silver Valley. A sale of mineral properties of $ 1,324,199
corresponding to the issuance of the royalty was recognized on the consolidated balance sheets.
On
January 17, 2025, as consideration for Sprott advancing the debt facility, as described in note 10, the Company granted a royalty
for 0.5 %
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. A 0.35 %
rate will apply to claims outside of these areas. On June 5, 2025, the 0.5 %
royalty was amended to apply to both primary and secondary claims comprising the Project. A sale of mineral properties of $ 383,789
corresponding to the issuance of the royalty was recognized on the consolidated balance sheets.
On
December 19, 2024, as consideration for Sprott advancing the debt facility, as described in note 10, the Company granted a royalty for
0.5 % 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. A 0.35 % rate will apply to claims outside of these areas.
On June 5, 2025, the 0.5 % royalty was amended to apply to both primary and secondary claims comprising the Project. A sale of mineral
properties of $ 397,335 corresponding to the issuance of the royalty was recognized on the consolidated balance sheets.
On
December 12, 2024, as consideration for Sprott advancing the debt facility, as described in note 10, the Company granted a royalty for

On June 5, 2025, the 0.5 % royalty was amended to apply to both primary and secondary claims comprising the Project. A sale of mineral
properties of $ 397,335 corresponding to the issuance of the royalty on the consolidated balance sheets.

As
a result of the above transactions with Sprott, including the (i) conversion of the royalty convertible debenture into a 1.85% royalty,
(ii) consideration of Sprott advancing $15,000,000 on the loan facility a 1.5% royalty was granted, and (iii) Sprott stream conversion
a 1.65% royalty was granted, as of December 31, 2025 Sprott holds a 5% life-of-mine gross revenue applying to both primary and secondary
claims comprising the Project.
These
Sprott transactions were treated as a sale of mineral interest. The portion of the mineral interest sold was determined based on an analysis
of discounted life-of-mine royalty payments relative to discounted future cash flows generated from the mine net of capital and operating
costs, applied to the carrying value of the Bunker Hill Mine as of above funding dates, before consideration of the sale of mineral properties.
This analysis utilized a discount rate of 15% and long-term metal prices of $1.20/lb, $0.95/lb and $27.29/oz for zinc, lead and silver
respectively.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“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 were to be paid by the Company to the EPA on the following dates:

$ 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 financial
assurance for the principle outstanding in the form of performance bonds or letters of credit deemed acceptable to the EPA. 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.
63
During
the year end December 31, 2024, the Company made a $ 3,000,000 payment to the EPA bringing the principal of the cost recovery liability
to $ 14,000,000 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025.
As
of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had two payment bonds of $ 9,999,000 and $ 4,001,000 in place to secure this liability.
The collateral for the payment bonds is comprised of restricted cash of $ 2,975,000 for December 31, 2025, and $ 4,475,000 for December
31, 2024, both shown within current assets and land pledged by third parties, with whom the Company has entered into an agreement that contemplates a monthly fee
of $ 20,000 (payable in cash or common stock of the Company, at the Company’s election) the “Financing Cooperation Agreement”.
In the fourth quarter of 2025 the EPA agreed to forebear enforcement of any late payments pursuant to the first amendment of the Amended
Settlement Agreement to facilitate ongoing discussion of a potential second amendment to the Amended Settlement Agreement, including the
payment due in November 2025. The EPA reserved all rights to resume collection of late payments in the event a Second Amendment of the
2021 Amended Settlement Agreement is not finalized.
The
Company recorded accretion expense on the liability of $ 1,765,315 for the year ended December 31, 2025, bringing the discounted,
at 19.5 %, net liability to $ 10,314,544 , (previously accrued interest of $ 154,743 ) as of December 31, 2025. The Company recorded accretion
expense on the liability of $ 1,975,089 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
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 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 December 31, 2025, a prepaid expense of $ nil (December 31, 2024: $ 100,000 ) represents 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
consolidated balance sheets as accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and accounts payable.

Debt instruments
$6,000,000
Series 1 Convertible Debenture (CD1)
CD1
bore interest at an annual rate of 7.5 %, payable in cash or shares at the Company’s option on principal of $ 6,000,000 . The CD1
is secured by a pledge of the Company’s properties and assets. 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 was convertible into Common Shares at
a price of Canadian Dollars (“C$”) C$ 10.50 per Common Share, subject to stock exchange approval.
In
June 2025, the Company and Sprott agreed to amend the rate of interest of CD1 reducing it from 7.5 % to 5.0 % per annum, and the current
conversion price, being the U.S. dollar equivalent of C$ 10.50 per Common Share, was reduced to $ 3.675 . The Company determined that the
amendments to the terms of the CD1 should be treated as an extinguishment of the CD1. The new debt was bifurcated between host debt and
the conversion option valued at $ 3,912,661 (net of transaction costs of $ 52,161 ) and $ 1,928,753 respectively, as of June 5, 2025. The host debt was initially measured at the fair value of a comparable liability without conversion option. The residual
amount, after determining the fair value of the host debt, was allocated to the conversion option and recorded in APIC. Subsequently host
debt was measured at amortized cost. The
debt and the conversion option were fair valued using a binomial lattice methodology based on a modified Cox-Ross-Rubenstein (“CRR”)
approach.
$15,000,000
Series 2 Convertible Debenture (CD2)
CD2
bore interest at an annual rate of 10.5 %, payable in cash or shares at the Company’s option on principal of $ 15,000,000 . CD2 is
secured by a pledge of the Company’s properties and assets.
64
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.
In
June 2025, the Company and Sprott agreed to amend the rate of interest of CD2 reducing it from 10.5 % to 5.0 % per annum, and the current
conversion price, being the U.S. dollar equivalent of C$ 10.15 per Common Share, was reduced to $ 3.675 . The Company determined that the
amendments to the terms of the CD2 should be treated as an extinguishment of the CD2. The new debt was bifurcated between host debt and
the conversion option valued at $ 8,164,765 (net of transaction costs of $ 130,401 ) and $ 6,482,376 respectively, as of June 5, 2025. The host debt was initially measured at the fair value of a comparable liability without conversion option. The residual
amount, after determining the fair value of the host debt, was allocated to the conversion option and recorded in APIC. Subsequently host
debt was measured at amortized cost. The
debt and the conversion option were fair valued using a binomial lattice methodology based on a modified CRR approach.
Prior
to the extinguishment on June 5, 2025, 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.

$4,000,000
Series 3 Convertible Debenture (CD3)
The
Company closed the $ 4,000,000
CD3 on June 5, 2025 (note 18). CD3 bears interest at an annual rate of 5.0 %,
payable in cash or shares at the Company’s option, and matures
on June 5, 2030 . CD3 is secured by a pledge of the Company’s properties and assets and CD3 is convertible into Common
Shares at a price of $ 3.675
per Common Share, subject to the stock exchange approval. The new debt was bifurcated between host debt and the conversion option
valued at $ 2,268,397
(net of transaction costs of $ 174,576 )
and $ 1,558,941
respectively, as of June 5, 2025. The host debt was initially measured at the fair value of a comparable liability without
conversion option. The residual amount, after determining the fair value of the host debt, was allocated to the conversion option
and recorded in APIC. Subsequently host debt was measured at amortized cost. The debt and the conversion option were fair valued
using a binomial lattice methodology based on a modified CRR approach.
The
Company recorded interest expense on host debt of CD3 of $ 254,312 for
the year ended December 31, 2025 ($ nil
for the year ended December 31, 2024), bringing the net liability to $ 2,522,709
as of December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, interest of $ nil
($ nil
at December 31, 2024) is included in interest payable on the consolidated balance sheets.
The
Company performs quarterly testing of the covenants in the CD1, CD2, CD3 and was in compliance with all such covenants as of December
31, 2025.
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”). The Stream was secured by the same security package that is in place with respect to the RCD, CD1, and
CD2. The Stream was 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 was repayable by applying 2% of payable metals sold. The delivery price of streamed
metals was 20% of the applicable spot price. 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 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 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 using the same discount rate, with changes to the carrying value recognized in the consolidated
statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
The
Company determined the effective interest rate of The Stream to be 10.6 % and recorded accretion expense on the liability of
$ 1,570,574 for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($ 4,003,934 for the year ended December 31, 2024) recognized in the consolidated statements
of loss and comprehensive loss, accretion expense on the liability of $ 971,426 for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($ 1,615,066 for the
year ended December 31, 2024) capitalized into the process plant (note 5) on the consolidated balance sheets and gain (loss) on revaluation
of the liability of $ 4,149,606 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and $ 230,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively).
The revaluation is because of a change in projections of the key assumptions: 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 long-term commodity prices of 1.20 $/lb
to 1.28 $/lb for zinc, 0.91 $/lb to 0.93 $/lb for lead, 27.76 $/oz to $31.96 $/oz for silver, and timing of production.

On
June 5, 2025, the existing metals purchase agreement (the “Metals Purchase Agreement”) dated June 23, 2023, by and among
the Company, Silver Valley, and Sprott, pursuant to which Sprott previously advanced a $ 46,000,000 deposit to Silver
Valley, was terminated and exchanged (the “Exchange Agreement”) for (i) 200,000,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock; (ii) the CD3; and (iii) an additional 1.65 % life-of-mine gross revenue royalty (note 7) on primary and secondary claims comprising
the Bunker Hill Mine. A gain on debt settlement $ 29,580,954 was recognized on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($ nil for the year ended December 31, 2024).
$15,000,000
Debt Facility
On
June 23, 2023, the Company closed a $ 21,000,000 debt facility with Sprott which was available for draw at the Company’s election
for a period of 2 years. Any amounts drawn will bear interest of 10 % per annum, from the later of the Funding Date and June 30, 2027,
to the date of repayment in full, at the rate of per cent 15.0 % per annum, which is payable annually in cash or capitalized at the Company’s
election. The maturity date of any drawings under the Debt Facility will be June 30, 2030 . For every $ 5,000,000 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 $ 20,000,000 .
On
January 31, 2025, the Company drew $ 6,000,000 on the debt facility. On January 17, 2025, the Company drew $ 5,000,000 on the debt facility.
The proceeds were bifurcated between host debt and the underlying sale of mineral interest to Sprott (note 7). On December 12, 2024,
the Company drew $ 5,000,000 on the debt facility. The proceeds were bifurcated between host debt and the underlying sale of mineral interest
to Sprott (note 7). On December 19, 2024, the Company drew $ 5,000,000 on the debt facility. The proceeds were bifurcated between host
debt and the underlying sale of mineral interest to Sprott (note 7). On June 5, 2025, the Company repaid $ 6,000,000 of principal and
$ 200,000 of interest owed to Sprott on the debt facility by issuing 57,142,857 and 1,904,762 Common Stock. For the year ended December
31, 2025, the Company recognized $ 187,458 gain on debt settlement on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive
loss as a result of settling principal and interest by issuance of shares, compared to $ nil for the year ended December 31, 2024.
On
June 5, 2025, the Company and Sprott agreed to amend the Terms of the Debt Facility, specifically the Company agreed to changes to the
interest payment mechanism, specifically the removal of capitalized interest and the insertion of the ability to pay interest via shares
in addition to a $ 2,000,000 , payable at maturity of the Debt Facility on June 30, 2030 . The Company determined that the amendments to
the terms of the debt facility should not be treated as an extinguishment of the debt facility and have therefore been accounted for
as a modification.
The
Company recorded accretion expense on the debt facility of $ 1,057,438 for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($ 31,280 for the year ended
December 31, 2024), accretion expense on the liability of $ 1,335,985 for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($ nil for the year ended December
31, 2024) capitalized into the process plant (note 6) on the consolidated balance sheets bringing the net liability to $ 15,160,612 as
of December 31, 2025, inclusive of $ 766,667 classified as interest payable). At December 31, 2025, interest of $ nil ($ nil at December 31, 2024) is included in interest payable on the consolidated balance sheets.
The
Company performs quarterly testing of the covenants in the Debt Facility and was in compliance with all such covenants as of December
31, 2025.

Silver
Loan
On
August 8, 2024, the Company entered into definitive agreements with Monetary Metals Bond III LLC, an entity established by Monetary Metals
& Co., for a silver loan in an amount of U.S. dollars equal to up to 1.2 million ounces of silver, to be advanced in one or more

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

Commitments and contingencies
EPA
and IDEQ Obligations
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.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company commenced discussions with the EPA and the IDEQ to advance a second amendment to the
Amended Settlement Agreement. Specifically, the Company is seeking a restructure of the ongoing obligations to the EPA and IDEQ. The
EPA agreed to forebear enforcement of any late payments pursuant to the Amended Settlement Agreement to facilitate ongoing
discussion of a second amendment of the Amended Settlement Agreement, including the payment due in November of 2025. The EPA
reserves all rights to resume collection of late payments in the event discussion of a second amendment of the Amended Settlement
Agreement fails.
Crescent
Legal Proceeding
On
July 28, 2021, a lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho brought by Crescent Mining, LLC (“Crescent”
or “Plaintiff”). 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 in the Crescent Mine. The Plaintiff 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, the court granted
in part and denied in part the Company’s motion to dismiss. The court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss in respect
of Crescent’s cost recovery claim under CERCLA Section 107(a), and 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 defending the claims on behalf of itself and Placer Mining Corp. pursuant to an indemnification granted by Company
of Placer Mining Corp. granted pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement executed between the companies for the Mine on December 15,
2021. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company attended a mediation session with the plaintiff. On December 12, 2025 Americas Gold and Silver Corporation closed the acquisition of Crescent Silver, LLC which owns
the Crescent Mine in Idaho, USA. The lawsuit continues to
advance through the discovery and pre-trail phase, in which information is gathered and exchanged.

The
potential income tax benefit of net deferred tax assets has been offset by a full valuation allowance.
At
December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has an unused net operating loss carryforward balance of $ 78,484,610 and $ 37,379,170
respectively, that is available to offset future taxable income. Net operating loss carryforwards of $16,503,566 generated before 2018
expire between 2031 and 2037. The losses generated in 2018 and later tax years do not expire.
A
certain amount of these losses are subject to limitations under Section 382. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limitations
on the use of U.S. federal net operating losses and other unrealized losses upon a more than 50% change in ownership in the Company within
a three-year period. In connection with multiple equity offerings during 2019 and 2025, the Company underwent the following Section 382
ownership changes:

As
a result, utilization of the Company’s above net operating losses and other unrealized losses are limited on an annual basis. If
the Section 382 annual limitation amount is not fully utilized in a particular tax year, then the unused portion from that tax year increases
the Section 382 annual limitation in the subsequent year.
82
The Company did not have any tax positions for which
it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12
months.
The Company incurred income tax expense of $ 0 for
the year ended December 31, 2025, and incurred $ ( 1,538,590 ) of income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s
effective income tax rate for 2025 was 0% compared to 5.7% for 2024. The effective tax rate for 2025 differed from the statutory rate
primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance established to offset net deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for 2024 differed
from the statutory rate primarily due to the income tax treatment of the Stream proceeds as deferred revenue on receipt, the recognition
of the Stream proceeds in current year taxable income, and due to changes in the valuation allowance established to offset net deferred
tax assets.
The tax years that remain subject to examination by
major taxing jurisdictions are those for the years ended December 31, 2011 through 2025.
