Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (BHLL) and its wholly‑owned subsidiary Silver Valley Metals Corp. closed an asset purchase with Silver Dollar Resources, Inc. on December 12, 2025, acquiring the Ranger‑Page Project and a 75 % interest in the Blackhawk Property. The transaction adds roughly 1,205 acres (4.8 km²) of mineral claims, including six historic underground high‑grade silver‑lead‑zinc mines that sit adjacent to Bunker Hill’s flagship mine.
The deal was structured for a total consideration of about US$2.4 million, paid in Bunker Hill common shares. The shares are held in escrow and subject to a six‑month hold period, ensuring that the transaction is fully consummated before the shares can be sold. The acquisition also transfers an extensive historical geological database—comprising drill logs, assay results, and geological maps—that will accelerate resource definition and future mine‑planning.
Strategically, the purchase consolidates one of Idaho’s most productive districts under a single operator. By bringing the Ranger‑Page mines and Blackhawk Property into its portfolio, Bunker Hill gains immediate access to additional ore bodies that can feed its planned 1,800‑ton‑per‑day processing plant. The proximity of the new assets to the existing mine offers operational synergies, such as shared infrastructure and deeper access to the mineral system.
Sam Ash, President and CEO of Bunker Hill, said the transaction “consolidates a highly prospective land package adjacent to our existing geological and operational footprint” and that the historical workings provide a “compelling platform for systematic resource definition and future mine‑planning optionality.” The acquisition is a key step toward the company’s goal of restarting the Bunker Hill Mine in the first half of 2026 and expanding its feed for the new processing plant.
Bunker Hill has been actively raising capital to support its development plans, including a C$45 million private placement and a C$52 million bought‑deal private placement in September 2025. The new asset package strengthens the company’s balance sheet and positions it as a significant domestic producer of zinc, lead, and silver within the Silver Valley.
The acquisition represents a material expansion of Bunker Hill’s resource base and operational footprint, aligning with its long‑term strategy to consolidate high‑grade assets and accelerate mine restart plans. The transaction is expected to enhance the company’s competitive position in Idaho’s mining sector and provide a stronger foundation for future growth.
