0:08 Hello everyone and welcome to Bunker Hill Mine-In's live event hosted by 6. I'm pleased to introduce our speaker today, Sam Ash, CEO, and he's calling in from the underground mine yard in Wardner. After he shows us around, we'll be accepting questions. So as a reminder, you can submit your questions in the chat at any point during the conversation in the bottom right corner of your screen.
0:30 The summit is being recorded and will be available to watch afterwards. So without further ado, I'd like to hand things over to you, Sam, to show us around. Morning, everyone. Thanks. It's a nice, cool, crisp morning here at the Wardner Yard and really excited to give you an update on progress for November. So I'll turn the camera around and walk around the yard. There's been some exciting developments up here over the past month and we really are well prepared as we move into winter. You can see the the small building up here and the the team at work that's what houses our underground compressor and We're just making the final connections now to with some of our underground equipment.
1:38 One of the things we provided in the our update press release is the purchase of another piece of mining equipment. This is Atlas Copco ST710 underground mucker. It is used, but as you can see it's in really excellent condition and what's nice about it is that the power unit, the diesel engine, is in common with all the rest of our underground mining fleet. So we're really pretty excited about this. In addition, you can see over here, this CAT LHD is now remote capable. We installed a remote operating capability into that mucker that will make it operational ready for remote mucking operations in the underground.
2:31 And this is the newest addition to our infrastructure. This is a sprung structure that we installed over the last month, which triples the amount of covered maintenance shop facility that we have available to us for the underground mining fleet. It's really great to have this in place just before winter hits. It's going to provide the underground maintenance teams with a with a very nice facility out of the weather. And you can see on the inside here, you know, we're just finishing up the final prep and over the next couple of weeks, we'll be moving into that facility.
3:18 And that'll give the maintenance guys, you know, a great place to work as we move into through the winter months. It is a bit chilly out here this morning. I'm going to turn the camera around and just talk to you about some of the other things that are going on. The bid packages for the for the paste plant and tails filtration have gone out. So that's moving along nicely. And at the shop down at the Kellogg yard, there is, there's been a lot of continued progress on equipment refurbishment.
4:02 Essentially at this point, the bulk of the flotation cells and flotation equipment have all been rehabilitated, Maintenance has been performed, fresh coat of paint, and are ready for install. And a pretty brief update this morning, but more than happy to now answer any questions. I'm going to go off camera just a minute, get inside out of the cold, and into a quieter place where I can answer questions. Sounds good, Ben. I'll give it a few minutes in the chat. No questions so far, but I appreciate you showing us the site here.
4:49 Yeah, just a reminder, you can submit questions in the bottom right corner of your screen.
5:07 Oh, there I'm back. Sorry, I lost reception for just a minute, but winter is definitely back in Kellogg. We're excited to move into the winter months, well prepared to stay productive over the next few months as we move towards restart at the end of next year. Great, excellent. And Sam, we don't have any questions from the audience. We do have people in attendance, but I guess they don't have any questions for us today. That's no problem. If anybody has any questions, I would like to say that, you know, partnering with 6 Media, If anybody would like an individual conversation with myself, you know, please just make the request. 6 media can provide a link where there is, you know, where there is a scheduled times where I am making myself available to have one-on-one conversations with anybody who would like to do that going forward.
6:10 Typically it's on a Tuesday and Thursday mornings. And I would welcome anybody who has some specific questions or wants to have a bit more of an in-depth conversation to take advantage of that. And looking forward to having another update, from the mine in December as we move forward. Really looking forward to making this a
6:37 monthly activity and sharing with everybody the progress as we make it available. I'm thinking that potentially next month, we may try to pre-record a little bit of underground footage, potentially. And maybe next month we focus a little bit on some of the geology, the geologic upside, and maybe include a little pre-recorded video from the underground. Great and Sam we are actually getting some activity now in the chat so thank you for continuing the conversation here. Daniel was wondering if there's any plan to uptick Beehill or BHLL?
7:22 Daniel, I think what you're saying is, are we planning to upgrade the US listing? And certainly that's on our plans. There's a few requirements that go along with that. You know the size of the market cap, you know the share price but as soon as we're able we're absolutely looking to upgrade the RUS listing. We were able to upgrade our Canadian listing and we're now on the TSX-V and we look forward to the day that we can uplist on the American side as well. Thank you. And Phillip's wondering when will electricity be installed in the new maintenance building?
8:11 The electricity is only about 20, 30 feet away. That small conics that I was showing you, that's the electrical distribution system that is housed within that. We have the conduit laid over the next few weeks. We'll have electricity into that building. Right. So, okay, that's all we have for questions here. Just a further comment from Mark. He's attending but with, or internet connection, but he's listening with interest as well as everyone else in attendance today. So I do want to thank you, Sam, for your time to go through this project site tour here, although brief. We appreciate it and always appreciate you giving the opportunity for investors to ask questions. So thank you. If you have any closing remarks, feel free to close us off here.
9:10 No, thank you all for dialing in today. And I would encourage you, if you're interested in having a more in-depth one-on-one conversation, just reach out to 6. They can provide the link and we'll get a session scheduled. Always look forward to talking to our followers and our shareholders. So thank you all very much.
