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

BHLL
  • Bunker Hill Mining Corp. announced additional assay results from drillhole BHE26-02 targeting the Cate-Eight Vein at its Idaho mine.
  • The hole returned 28.6 ft grading 3.02 oz/ton silver, 7.44% lead, & 0.85% zinc (173.5 g/t AgEq) starting at 453 ft.
  • A higher-grade interval of 17.1 ft within that zone graded 4.19 oz/ton silver, 10.67% lead, & 0.73% zinc (238.05 g/t AgEq).
  • Two distinct galena-siderite veins were identified within the 17.1 ft zone: 2.1 ft at 7.95 oz/ton silver (272.6 g/t) & 22.18% lead, & 4.3 ft at 8.84 oz/ton silver (303.1 g/t) & 23.20% lead.
  • Mineralization is located within 40 feet of existing underground infrastructure, suggesting potential for near-term production integration.
  • The new intercepts extend known mineralization approximately 340 feet up-dip from previous results in hole BHE26-01.
  • Drilling indicates the mineralized structure is broader than initially interpreted, with an approximate thickness of 10–15 feet.
  • The exploration program has drilled 1,250 feet to date toward a planned 25,000-foot campaign.
  • Drillhole BHE26-03 has intersected additional mineralization in projections of the new veins & is currently being logged.
  • Six holes are planned to test the Cate-Eight Target, with three additional holes scheduled from the 8 Level drill station.
  • The Cate-Eight Vein belongs to the silver-rich Galena-Quartz series, historically underexplored in the upper mine levels.
  • Quality assurance protocols included blanks, standards, & analysis at the Silver Valley Laboratory using standard industry methods.
  • Sam Bourque, Chief Geologist, is the Qualified Person who reviewed & approved the technical information in the release.
