Ball Mill Secured Capable Of Increasing Annual Production Throughput Capacity

TORONTO - Bunker Hill Mining Corp. has secured a ball mill capable of increasing production throughput at the Bunker Hill Mine.

Sam Ash, CEO, said, “We are excited to secure a ball mill capable of delivering the 1,800 ton per day mine plan envisaged in our Pre-feasibility Study. Subject to future detailed engineering and mine planning, the mill could also support a throughput increase to as much as 2,100 tons per day. Given the potentially very long life of the Bunker Hill Mine, this optionality represents an obvious source of value creation.   We look forward to finalizing the purchase and integrating it into our mill construction plans.”

The equipment secured includes a ball mill, motor and numerous spare parts, and is being purchased from D’Angelo International LLC. The mill being purchased is 13.5’ diameter by 20’ in length, is powered by a 2,000 horsepower motor, and is intended to fulfill the 1,800 tpd mine plan in the PFS. A grindability study has indicated a maximum throughput capacity of 2,100 tpd under Bunker’s ore specifications; through continued mine planning and optimization, the Company plans to investigate the feasibility of this run rate in future mine models. The mill was previously utilized at a mining operation in the western US, within 500 miles of the Bunker Hill Mine. The Company is planning delivery for Q1 2023, consistent with scheduled mill construction activities.
