[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (“Bunker Hill” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:BNKR; OTCQB:BHLL) is pleased to announce the publication of the Company’s third annual Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) report from Digbee ESGTM (“Digbee”), a leading independent ESG assessment platform for the mining industry. In Digbee’s latest assessment, Bunker Hill achieved an overall ESG score of “A” from Digbee’s independent panel of qualified mining ESG experts who reviewed the Company’s performance against rigorous and standardized scoring criteria. This submission marks the third submission for the Bunker Hill project since April 2021. This is the first time that the project has been upgraded to the ‘development’ phase from ‘exploration’, with additional information being submitted for consideration. Sam Ash, Bunker Hill’s CEO, stated: “Excellence in ESG has been integral to the Company’s strategy from day one. We aim for continuous improvement as we revive a historic mine, facilitating the remediation of existing mining legacies while extracting valuable minerals, creating employment opportunities and supporting our local community. Our Bunker Hill Mine will be the first mining operation to restart in an active EPA Superfund clean-up site since 1969, which is a significant milestone for the US Mining Industry. The revitalized mine is expected to generate employment opportunities and support the local community, including infrastructure enhancement and skills development”. Bunker Hill has a highly distinctive and robust corporate governance system, enabled by its weekly Business Plan Review (BPR) system: a disciplined, carefully structured, one-hour video conference attended by all Board Members, Executive Management and key officers and staff. Modelled primarily on the governance model built at the Ford Motor Company by its transformational CEO Alan Mullally, this unique ‘all-hands’ system ensures a level of transparency and situational awareness on risks and opportunities and an ability to better leverage the collective experience of all team and Board members in ways that enhance significantly the quality of decision-making at all levels.
