BUNKER HILL ANNOUNCES GRADUATION TO THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE AND ON TRACK FOR RESTART OF OPERATIONS IN JUNE 2026

Bunker Hill Mining Corp. has received approval for listing of the company's shares of common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange and remains on track for the restart of operations in June, 2026.

Sam Ash, president and chief executive officer of Bunker Hill Mining, said: "We are proud to announce Bunker Hill's graduation to the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). This marks another milestone in the turnaround journey started by our new leadership team in 2020 and reflects the significant progress we have made in building a strong, sustainable and modern business.

"Graduating to this senior exchange is more than just a change in listing. It reflects the inherent strength of the Bunker Hill mine, the quality of the operating team and our commitment to the highest standards of corporate governance, transparency and financial discipline.

"As our operations team works diligently to deliver a safe restart of operations in June, trading on this platform strengthens our profile in the global investment community, increases our visibility among long-term institutional investors and enhances trading liquidity.

"Whilst the markets get buffeted by the dramatic and important events in the Middle East, temporarily depressing valuations, our team remains focused on the restart, on our new exploration activity and on maximizing value for our shareholders through 2026 and beyond."

The common shares are expected to begin trading on the TSX effective as of commencement of trading on March 25, 2026 (the listing date). Upon listing on the TSX, the common shares will continue to trade under the ticker symbol BNKR. In conjunction with the graduation to the TSX, the common shares will be concurrently delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange prior to commencement of trading on the TSX. Holders of the common shares are not required to take any action in connection with the graduation to the TSX.

Restart on track for June

The project -- construction and commissioning -- is now 87 per cent complete and is on track for the restart of operations in June, 2026. The processing plant is conducting the final phases of dry commissioning ahead of schedule, as the electrical system and final piping are installed within the tailings filter press. Hiring continues at pace, with new team members arriving every week.

At the Wardner mining base, adjacent to the Russell portal and the mine entrance, the concrete has been poured for the paste plant, which has now arrived in Seattle, from Australia, and will be driven to the site over the next week. All underground development continues ahead of schedule, with the main ramp expected to hit the 9-Level, joining with the Kellogg tunnell in April.
