Bunker Hill Mining Corp. Takes Action on Share Issuance
KELLOGG, Idaho and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, December 2024 — Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (“Bunker Hill” or the “Company”) (TSXV:BNKR | OTCQB:BHLL) has made a strategic decision to issue a total of 7,392,859 shares of common stock to fulfill its obligations regarding 7.5% and 10.5% convertible debentures. This issuance will satisfy the interest payment obligations amounting to USD $517,500 as of the recent month-end.
Details of the Convertible Debentures and Interest Shares
According to the terms outlined in the Convertible Debentures, Bunker Hill plans to issue these shares priced at USD $0.07 each. This pricing reflects 90% of the average trading price from the preceding 10 days on the TSX Venture Exchange. The pricing period began on December 9, 2024, and concluded recently.
Related Party Transaction Considerations
The shares will be issued to specific accounts managed by Sprott Private Resource Streaming and Royalty Corp., thus qualifying as a “related party transaction.” Bunker Hill will adhere to applicable exemptions under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 for minority shareholder approvals, as the transaction's value is below the specified threshold based on the Company's market capitalization. Given the timeliness of the vote, the company did not provide a prior material change report.
Regulatory Framework and Conditions
The issuance of Interest Shares must satisfy several regulatory requirements, including approval from the TSX-V. Once released, these shares will have a mandatory holding period of four months and one day.
Financial Cooperation Agreement Details
Bunker Hill's financial strategy also involves a Cooperation Agreement, which includes provisions for collateral security to secure surety bonds for its Bunker Hill Mine. In return for providing this collateral security, Bunker Hill will pay a cooperation fee of US $20,000 monthly, either through shares or cash, at the Company’s discretion.
Settlement Shares Issuance Plan
As part of this agreement, Bunker Hill has chosen to issue 509,480 common shares to satisfy the financing cooperation fee for the third quarter of 2024, and an additional 543,855 common shares regarding the second quarter fee. The price for these shares is based on the volume-weighted average trading price during the relevant periods on the TSX Venture Exchange.
