TORONTO, May 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (the “Company”) (CSE: BNKR, OTCQB: BHLL) is pleased to provide an update on restart project activities taking place at the Bunker Hill Mine.

Sam Ash, CEO stated: “It’s exciting to witness the significant acceleration of physical activity at the Mine since we raised our last equity capital, driven by our expanded and Kellogg-based operational team. Whether it’s driving the underground decline to access areas for potential pre-production revenue opportunities, commissioning our pilot water treatment plant, or preparing surface infrastructure for the construction of the Pend Oreille Mill, we are moving forward at a rapid pace and remain on course to restart the Bunker Hill Mine by the end of 2023.”
