Bunker Hill Mining ( (TSE:BNKR) ) has issued an announcement.
Bunker Hill Mining says it remains on schedule to restart production at its Bunker Hill Mine in Idaho in June 2026, with commissioning of the mill, filter plant and related systems progressing in line with internal expectations. The company is shifting from construction to operations through a disciplined, phased activation of key circuits designed to validate performance, optimize throughput and reduce project risk ahead of first output.
The restart plan centers on longhole stoping accessed via the refurbished Russell Portal and a new three‑kilometer internal ramp system, enabling mechanized mining across upper levels of the mine. A state‑of‑the‑art tailings filtration plant will support paste backfill, lowering geotechnical risk, shrinking the surface tailings footprint and improving water management in line with U.S. federal and Idaho regulatory frameworks.
Supported by a recently acquired CAT mining fleet and a workforce now operating around the clock, Bunker Hill is building ore stockpiles, completing final development work and preparing initial stopes to feed commissioning and ramp‑up. Management argues that combining longhole stoping with paste backfill can enhance safety and sustainability while strengthening free cash‑flow generation once production resumes.
The company has also launched an underground drilling campaign from the 7 and 8 levels to refine near‑term mine plans and boost silver exposure. Initial work will focus on infill and confirmation drilling to improve geological confidence and grade control, while selective step‑out drilling will test extensions of known mineralization with the aim of expanding and upgrading its resource base ahead of the planned restart.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:BNKR) stock is a Buy with a C$13.00 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 BNKR Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BNKR is a Neutral.
The score is primarily constrained by very weak financial performance (no revenue, large and worsening losses, persistent cash burn, and negative equity with rising debt). Technical indicators also lean bearish, reinforcing near-term risk. Valuation offers little support due to negative earnings and no dividend yield.
