commodities; capital market conditions; restrictions on labor and its effects on international travel and supply
chains; failure to identify mineral resources; failure to convert estimated mi neral resources to reserves; the
preliminary nature of metallurgical test results; the Company’s ability to restart and develop the Bunker Hill Mine
and the risks of not basing a production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic
and technical viability, resulting in increased uncertainty due to multiple technical and economic risks of failure
which are associated with this production decision including, among others, areas that are analyzed in more detail
in a feasibility study, such as applying economic analysis to resources and reserves, more detailed metallurgy and
a number of specialized studies in areas such as mining and recovery methods, market analysis, and environmental
and community impacts and, as a result, ther e may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level
of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a
commercially mineable deposit, with no guarantee that production will begin as anticipated or at all or that
anticipated production costs will be achieved; failure to commence production would have a material adverse
impact on the Company's ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund operations; failure to achieve the
anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Company's cash flow and future
profitability; delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project
approvals; political risks; changes in equity markets; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing
needed in the future; the inability of the Company to budget and manage its liquidity in light of the failure to obtain
