(the “Company”) (CSE: BNKR, OTCQB: BHLL) is pleased to provide updated drill results from its Phase II program, including intercepts from silver-lead vein extensions delineated through testing of the down-dip and off-set portions of the Jersey-Deadwood vein system on the 9-level. Sam Ash, CEO of Bunker Hill Mining, stated: “These encouraging results represent mineralized extensions of previously mined structures within the upper part of the mine. These are open along strike or at depth. Combined with the ongoing compilation and re-interpretation of historic data, these results indicate some of the significant upside potential of the mine beyond its existing resource envelope.” A total of 16 holes were drilled on 3 main target zones for over 3,000 ft of drilling.

Lengths are reported as drilled lengths and not true intercept widths. Reported intercept widths were lower than anticipated due to poor core recovery through the mineralized zone, caused by the significant contrast in rock competency between the mineralized material and the host quartzites. Refined drilling techniques and drill bit options have been employed to improve recoveries going forward. The Jersey-Deadwood zone was historically worked on three main structures: the Jersey Vein, the Jersey Fault Vein and the Deadwood Flat Vein. All three structures historically reported silver-lead dominant production and were some of the last worked stopes before mine closure. This area was chos...
