Bunker Hill Advances Bunker Hill Mine Toward 2026 Restart as U.S. Critical Metals Producer

Bunker Hill Mining ( (TSE:BNKR) ) has issued an announcement.

Bunker Hill Mining reported substantial progress in 2025 toward restarting the Bunker Hill Mine, highlighting a third consecutive year without lost-time injuries, full environmental permit compliance, and completion of all necessary regulatory approvals for operations. The company advanced its technical and operational readiness by refining mine plans to prioritize higher-grade silver extraction, completing metallurgical test work that supports robust recoveries for silver, lead, and zinc, and collaborating with VRIFY’s AI platform to identify additional high-grade silver targets near existing infrastructure. Underground rehabilitation, ventilation, water management, and access development are largely in place to support the first three years of ore, while surface infrastructure and processing facilities reached late-stage construction, with the processing plant at 88% completion and phased commissioning starting in January to enable a planned mine restart in the first half of 2026. The balance sheet was also significantly strengthened through a refinancing that extended debt maturities, cut overall debt, and reduced the cost of capital, collectively positioning Bunker Hill as an emerging U.S. critical metals producer poised to transition from development to production and free cash generation in 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:BNKR) stock is a Hold with a C$0.22 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Bunker Hill Mining stock, see the TSE:BNKR Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:BNKR Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:BNKR is a Neutral.

The score is weighed down primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue, widening losses, and substantial negative free cash flow implying ongoing funding risk). Technicals provide only modest support with longer-term averages above the current price but neutral momentum overall. Valuation is constrained by a negative P/E and no dividend yield data.
