1.Nature and continuance of operations and going concern
Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada, U.S.A on February 20, 2007 under the name Lincoln Mining Corp. Pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment dated February 11, 2010, the Company changed its name to Liberty Silver Corp., and on September 29, 2017 the Company changed its name to Bunker Hill Mining Corp. The Company’s registered office is located at 1802 N. Carson Street, Suite 212, Carson City Nevada 89701, and its head office is located at 401 Bay Street, Suite 2702, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 2Y4. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the Company had two subsidiaries, Bunker Hill Operating LLC, a Colorado corporation that is currently dormant, and American Zinc Corp., an Idaho corporation created to facilitate the work being conducted at the Bunker Hill Mine in Idaho.
The Company was incorporated for the purpose of engaging in mineral exploration activities. It continues to work at developing its project with a view towards putting it into production.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (the "Company") has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $64,192,278 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. The Company does not have sufficient working capital needed to meet its current fiscal obligations and commitments. In order to continue to meet its fiscal obligations in the current fiscal year and beyond, the Company must seek additional financing. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management is considering various financing alternatives including, but not limited to, raising capital through the capital markets and debt financing. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, explore and develop the mineral properties and the discovery, development, and sale of reserves.
The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.

2. Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, shareholders’ equity or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Amended Form 10-K/A, which contains the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the year ended June 30, 2020. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the functional currency.
3. New and recently adopted technical and accounting pronouncements
On July 1, 2020, the Company adopted Account Standards Update (ASU) 2016-03, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 changed the impairment model for most financial instruments. Previous guidance required the recognition of credit losses based on an incurred loss impairment methodology that reflects losses once the losses are probable. Under ASU 2016-13, the Company is required to use a current expected credit loss ("CECL") model that immediately recognizes an estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of the financial instruments that are in the scope of the update, including trade receivables. The CECL model uses a broader range of reasonable and supportable information in the development of credit loss estimates. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, as the Company's accounts receivable only consisted of sales taxes receivable.
4. Restatement of previously issued financial statements
In November 2020, it was determined that the Company has underaccrued for invoices issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") for excess water treatment costs relating to years ended June 30, 2018, 2019 and 2020, interest payable on the outstanding EPA balance, and for a finder's fee related to the Company's February 2020 private placement, which resulted in an understatement of liabilities for 2019 and 2020, an overstatement of additional paid-in-capital for 2020, an understatement of opening and closing deficit for 2019 and 2020, and an understatement of exploration expenses and net losses for 2019 and 2020.
The following tables present the impact of the restatement adjustments on the Company's previously issued condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

7. Mining interests
Bunker Hill Mine Complex
On November 27, 2016, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Placer Mining Corp. (“Placer Mining”), which letter of intent was further amended on March 29, 2017, to acquire the Bunker Hill Mine in Idaho and its associated milling facility located in Kellogg, Idaho, in the Coeur d’Alene Basin (the “Letter of Intent”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Letter of Intent, the acquisition, which was subject to due diligence, would include all mining claims, surface rights, fee parcels, mineral interests, existing infrastructure, machinery and buildings at the Kellogg Tunnel portal in Milo Gulch, or anywhere underground at the Bunker Hill Mine Complex. The acquisition would also include all current and historic data relating to the Bunker Hill Mine Complex, such as drill logs, reports, maps, and similar information located at the mine site or any other location.
During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company made payments totaling $300,000 as part of this Letter of Intent. These amounts were initially capitalized and subsequently written off during fiscal 2018 and were included in exploration expenses.
On August 28, 2017, the Company announced that it signed a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) for the lease and option to purchase the Bunker Hill Mine assets (the “Bunker Assets”).
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company was required to make a $1 million bonus payment to Placer Mining no later than October 31, 2017, which payment was made, along with two additional $500,000 bonus payments in December 2017. The 24-month lease commenced November 1, 2017. During the term of the lease, the Company was to $100,000 monthly mining lease payments, paid quarterly.
The Company had an option to purchase the Bunker Assets at any time before the end of the lease and any extension for a purchase price of $45 million with purchase payments to be made over a ten-year period to Placer Mining. Under terms of the agreement, there is a 3% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on sales during the Lease and a 1.5% NSR on the sales after the purchase option is exercised, which post-acquisition NSR is capped at $60 million.
On October 2, 2018, the Company announced that it was in default of its Lease with Option to Purchase Agreement with Placer Mining. The default arose as a result of missed lease and operating cost payments, totaling $400,000, which were due at the end of September and on October 1, 2018. As per the Agreement, the Company had 15 days, from the date notice of default was provided (September 28, 2018), to remediate the default by making the outstanding payment. While Management worked with urgency to resolve this matter, Management was ultimately unsuccessful in remedying the default, resulting in the lease being terminated.

Bunker Hill Mine Complex (continued)
On November 13, 2018, the Company announced that it was successful in renewing the lease, effectively with the original Agreement intact, except that monthly payments are reduced to $60,000 per month for 12 months, with the accumulated reduction in payments of $140,000 per month (“deferred payments”) being accrued. As at September 30, 2020, the Company has accrued for a total of $1,787,300 (June 30, 2020 - $1,847,300), which is included in accounts payable. These deferred payments will be waived should the Company choose to exercise its option.
On October 22, 2019, the Company signed a further amendment to the Agreement. The key terms of this amended agreement are as follows:
*The lease period has been extended for an additional period of nine months to August 1, 2020, with the option to extend for a further 6 months based upon payment of a 1 time $60,000 extension fee (extended).
*The Company will continue to make monthly care and maintenance payments to Placer Mining of $60,000 until exercising the option to purchase.
*The purchase price is set at $11 million for 100% of the marketable assets of Bunker Assets to be paid with $6,200,000 in cash, and $4,800,000 in shares. The purchase price also includes the negotiable EPA costs of $20 million. The amended lease provides for the elimination of all royalty payments that were to be paid to the mine owner. Upon signing the amended agreement, the Company paid a one-time, non-refundable cash payment of $300,000 to the mine owner. This payment will be applied to the purchase price upon execution of the purchase option. In the event the Company elects not to exercise the purchase option, the payment shall be treated as an additional care and maintenance payment.
On August 12, 2020, the Company extended the lease with Placer Mining for further 18 months for a $150,000 extension fee. This extension expires on August 1, 2022.
In addition to the payments to Placer Mining, and pursuant to an agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) whereby for so long as Bunker leases, owns and/or occupies the Bunker Hill Mine, the Company will make payments to the EPA on behalf of the current owner in satisfaction of the EPA’s claim for cost recovery. These payments, if all are made, will total $20 million. The agreement calls for payments starting with $1 million 30 days after a fully ratified agreement was signed followed by a payment schedule detailed below:

In addition to these cost recovery payments, the Company is to make semi-annual payments of $480,000 on June 1 and December 1 of each year, to cover the EPA’s costs of operating and maintaining the water treatment facility that treats the water being discharged from the Bunker Hill Mine. Of these, the December 1, 2018, and June 1, 2019 semi-annual water treatment payments were not made, totaling $960,000 outstanding as at September 30, 2020 (June 30, 2020 - $960,000). The Company also has received invoices from the EPA for water treatment charges for the periods from December 2017 to October 2019. This was for a total of $3,269,388, with $2,229,408 outstanding as at September 30, 2020 (June 30, 2020 - $2,229,408). The Company is having discussions with the EPA to review and, where appropriate, have the additional water treatment charges amended. The unpaid EPA balance is subject to interest at the rate specified for interest on investments of the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund. As at September 30, 2020, the interest accrued on the unpaid EPA balance is $120,477 (June 30, 2020 - $89,180).

For 2020, the Company has accrued an estimate for additional water treatment charges based on 2018 and 2019 invoices received from the EPA, for a total of an additional semi-annual accrual of $799,998.

8.Convertible loan payable
On June 13, 2018, the Company entered into a loan and warrant agreement with Hummingbird Resources PLC (“Hummingbird”), an arm’s length investor, for an unsecured convertible loan in the aggregate sum of $1,500,000, bearing interest at 10% per annum, maturing in one year. Contemporaneously, the Company agreed to issue 229,464 share purchase warrants, entitling the lender to acquire 229,464 common shares of the Company, at a price of C$8.50 per share, for two years. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the lender may, at any time prior to maturity, convert any or all of the principal amount of the loan and accrued interest thereon, into common shares of the Company at a price per share equal to C$8.50. In the event that a notice of conversion would result in the lender holding 10% or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, then, in the alternative, and under certain circumstances, the Company would be required to pay cash to the lender in an amount equal C$8.50 multiplied by the number of shares intended to be issued upon conversion. Further, in the event that the lender holds more than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company subsequent to the exercise of any of its convertible securities held under this placement, it shall have the right to appoint one director to the board of the Company. Lastly, among other things, the loan agreement further provides that for as long as any amount is outstanding under the convertible loan, the investor retains a right of first refusal on any Company financing or joint venture/strategic partnership/disposal of assets.
In August 2018, the amount of the Hummingbird convertible loan payable was increased to $2 million from its original $1.5 million loan, net of $45,824 of debt issue costs. An additional 116,714 warrants with each warrant exercisable at C$4.50 were issued. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, Hummingbird may, at any time prior to maturity, convert any or all of the principal amount of the loan and accrued interest thereon, into common shares of Bunker as follows: (i) $1,500,000, being the original principal amount (“Principal Amount”), the Principal Amount may be converted at a price per share equal to C$8.50; (ii) 229,464 common shares may be acquired upon exercise of warrants at a price of C$8.50 per warrant for a period of two years from the date of issuance; (iii) $500,000, being the additional principal amount (“Additional Amount”), may be converted at a price per share equal to C$4.50; and (iv) 116,714 common shares may be acquired upon exercise of warrants at a price of C$4.50 per warrant for a period of two years from the date issuance. In the event that Hummingbird would acquire common shares in excess of 9.999% through the conversion of the Principal Amount or Additional Amount, including interest accruing thereon, or on exercise of the warrants as disclosed herein, the Company shall pay to Hummingbird a cash amount equal to the common shares exercised in excess of 9.999%, multiplied by the conversion price.
During the year ended June 30, 2019, Hummingbird agreed to extend the scheduled maturity date of the loan to June 30, 2020. This was accounted for as a loan extinguishment which resulted in the recording of a net loss on loan extinguishment of $1,195,880.
In June 2019, the Company settled $100,000 of the Additional Amount by issuing 2,660,000 shares, which resulted in the recording of a net loss on loan extinguishment of $8,193.
In February 2020, the Company settled $300,000 of the Additional Amount by issuing 696,428 shares, which resulted in the recording of a net loss on loan extinguishment of $9,407.
In June 2020, Hummingbird agreed to extend the scheduled maturity date of the loan to July 31, 2020. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company settled the full amount of the outstanding loan by issuing 5,572,980 shares.

9.Promissory notes payable
(i) On November 13, 2019, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $300,000. The note is unsecured, bears interest of 1% monthly, and is due on demand after 90 days from issuance. In consideration for the loan, the Company issued 400,000 common share purchase warrants to the lender. Each whole warrant entitles the lender to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of C$0.80 per share for a period of two years.
On April 24, 2020, the Company extended the maturity date of the promissory note payable to August 1, 2020. In consideration, the Company issued 400,000 common share purchase warrants to the lender at an exercise price of C$0.50. The warrants expire on November 13, 2021. This was accounted for as a loan modification.
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repaid $110,658 of the promissory note and settled the remaining balance of $218,281 (C$288,000), which included interest payable of $28,939, in full by issuing 822,857 August 2020 Units (as defined in note 11), recognizing a loss on debt settlement of $335,467.
The Company has accounted for the warrants in accordance with ASC Topic 815. The warrants are considered derivative financial liabilities as they are convertible into common shares at a conversion price denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency of the US dollar. The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined on the date of issuance and marks to market at each financial reporting period.

Issued and outstanding (continued)
For each financing, the Company has accounted for the warrants in accordance with ASC Topic 815. The warrants are considered derivative instruments as they were issued in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency of the US dollar. The estimated fair value of warrants accounted for as liabilities was determined on the date of issue and marks to market at each financial reporting period. The change in fair value of the warrant is recorded in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as a gain or loss and is estimated using the Binomial model.
The fair value of the warrant liabilities related to the various tranches of warrants issued during the period were estimated using the Binomial model to determine the fair value using the following assumptions on the day of issuance and as at September 30, 2020:

13.Deferred share units
Effective April 21, 2020, the Board of Directors approved a Deferred Share Unit ("DSU") Plan to grant DSUs to its directors.

16.Financial instruments
Fair values
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable excluding HST, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, DSU liability, interest payable, convertible loan payable, promissory notes payable and lease liability, all of which qualify as financial instruments, are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and current market rate of interest. The Company measured its DSU liability at fair value on recurring basis using level 1 inputs and derivative warrant liabilties at fair value on recurring basis using level 3 inputs. There were no transfers of financial instruments between levels 1, 2, and 3 during the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2020.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes the rates of exchange on foreign currencies will impact the financial position of cash flows of the Company. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks in relation to certain activities that are to be settled in Canadian dollar. Management monitors its foreign currency exposure regularly to minimize the risk of an adverse impact on its cash flows.
Concentration of credit risk
Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss in the event that certain counterparties are unable to fulfill its obligations to the Company. The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management also routinely assesses the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company's consolidated cash flows from operations will not be sufficient for the Company to continue operating and discharge its liabilities. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk as its continued operation is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing, either in the form of debt or equity, or achieving profitable operations in order to satisfy its liabilities as they come due.
17.Subsequent events
On October 9, 2020, the Company settled the full balance of the convertible loan payable to Hummingbird (see note 8) by issuing 5,572,980 shares of the Company.
