[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, Oct. 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bunker Hill Mining Corporation (the “Company”) (CSE: BNKR; OTCQB: BHLL) is pleased to introduce its innovative ESG vision, report significant progress with its ongoing sustainability and community impact programs, and looks forward to discussing these at the 6ix ESG Panel on Wednesday, October 20, 2021 at 12:00 ET. Investors and stakeholders are invited to register for this event following this LINK. Brad Barnett, VP Sustainability of Bunker Hill Mining, stated: “The restart of Bunker Hill Mine using modern techniques will not only deliver important metals to the Green Economy and outstanding financial returns for our investors; it will also act as the catalyst for investment by our development partners into a host of other new businesses designed to multiply our long-term regenerative impacts on the local community and environment.” As Bunker Hill refines the details of its mine restart plan, and works to conclude its on-going project finance process, the Company is partnering with carefully selected development partners, to not only improve the inherent sustainability of its mining operations, but also to enhance the local environment and economy in ways that have enduring positive impact. Whilst the Company’s primary focus will clearly be the restart of mining operations, its sustainability team will work with these partners to attract new impact-focused capital and expertise into an evolving ecosystem of new jointly owned, non-mining businesses created to enhance the impact of the regeneration effort initiated by the start of the mining. These are illustrated in the vision diagram above; and described in more detail below. PARTNERSHIP PROJECT UPDATES (1) Striving for ESG Excellence.
