Bunker Hill Mining Confirms Discovery of New High-Grade Silver-Lead Veins with Second Drill Intercept

About this update from Bunker Hill Mining Corp

Mineralization Extends Beyond Known Resource Near Existing Underground Infrastructure Drillhole BHE26-02 returns:   Continuous mineralization over 28.6 ft grading 3.02 oz/ton (103.39 g/t) silver, 7.44% lead and 0.85% zinc (173.5 g/t AgEq) starting at 453 ft downhole, including 17.1 ft at 4.19 oz/ton (143.64 g/t) silver, 10.67% lead and 0.73% zinc (238.05 g/t AgEq) Two distinct high-grade galena-siderite veins cut within a 17.1 ft mineralized zone:  2.1 ft at 7.95 oz/ton (272.6 g/t) silver, 22.18% lead and 1.05% zinc (462.97 g/t AgEq) 4.3 ft at 8.84 oz/ton (303.1 g/t) silver, 23.20% lead and 0.73% zinc (497.59 g/t AgEq) KELLOGG, Idaho and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (“Bunker Hill” or the “Company”) (TSX: BNKR | OTCQB: BHLL) is pleased to announce additional assay results from the ongoing underground exploration drill program on the Cate-Eight Vein Target at the Bunker Hill Mine. This program is designed to test high-grade silver targets near recently constructed mine infrastructure in the upper area of the mine, with the potential to be incorporated into the near-term production plan and expand the current mineral resources and mineral reserves.  HIGHLIGHTS: Drillhole BHE26-02 Discovery of two high-grade silver-lead veins (galena-siderite) within a 28.6 ft mineralized zone near existing underground infrastructure. Mineralization remains open in all directions and occurs within 40 feet of existing mine development, highlighting significant near-mine expansion potential in the underexplored upper mine area. Extends known mineralization approximately 340 feet up-dip from intercepts reported in BHE26-01 (see News Release dated May 4, 2026). Initial target interpretation suggested a single vein; drilling has now identified broader mineralized intervals with an approximate thickness of 10–15 feet. The program remains on schedule, with approximately 1,250 feet drilled to date as part of the planned 25,000-foot campaign. The ongoing drill hole, BHE26-03 has intersected additional mineralization in projections of the new veins and is currently being logged and sampled.  CEO COMMENTARY “These second set of results indicate the emergence of a new high-grade silver-lead zo...
