As a result of the above transactions with Sprott, including the (i) conversion of the royalty convertible debenture into a 1.85% royalty, (ii) consideration of Sprott advancing $15,000,000 on the loan facility a 1.5% royalty was granted, and (iii) Sprott stream conversion a 1.65% royalty was granted, as of December 31, 2025 Sprott holds a 5% life-of-mine gross revenue applying to both primary and secondary claims comprising the Project.

 

These Sprott transactions were treated as a sale of mineral interest. The portion of the mineral interest sold was determined based on an analysis of discounted life-of-mine royalty payments relative to discounted future cash flows generated from the mine net of capital and operating costs, applied to the carrying value of the Bunker Hill Mine as of above funding dates, before consideration of the sale of mineral properties. This analysis utilized a discount rate of 15% and long-term metal prices of $1.20/lb, $0.95/lb and $27.29/oz for zinc, lead and silver respectively.
