TSX-listed Bunker Hill Mining Corporation says commissioning of its new 1 800 t/d processing facility in Kellogg, Idaho, is on track to produce its first batch of concentrate for sale by the end of June.

The company is focused on restarting the historic Bunker Hill mine, in Idaho's prolific Silver Valley, with the project focused on silver, zinc and lead production.

"Our crusher is now processing ore and feeding the ore silo as we complete final commissioning of the grinding, flotation, thickening and filtration circuits. These activities are being carried out in parallel with the commissioning of our co-located tailings filter press within a fully operational closed-loop water management system," confirms Bunker Hill Mining CEO and president Sam Ash

Having successfully commissioned the plant using waste rock, the company is now transitioning to run-of-mine ore from the silo, with concentrate production expected to follow shortly.

"While commodity markets and investors continue to navigate an evolving global economic and geopolitical landscape, our team in Idaho's Silver Valley remains focused on what we can control: executing safely, methodically and with precision.

"Every day, this dedicated group of professionals is taking another step toward bringing America's newest mine into production on schedule," Ash concludes.
