Bunker Hill Mining Corp. Announces Equity Compensation Grants

Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (TSX: BNKR, OTCQB: BHLL), a mining company that specializes in lead, zinc, and silver exploration, announced that its board of directors has approved equity‑compensation grants for certain directors and officers. The announcement was released via a Globe Newswire distribution on April 10, 2026 and subsequently reported by several financial‑news outlets, including StockWatch, Montreal Gazette, and All Penny Stocks.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

The board approved a total of 163,674 restricted stock units (RSUs). The RSUs will vest in three equal tranches of one‑third on April 10 of 2027, 2028, and 2029. Each RSU vests into one share of common stock at a deemed price of C$5.60, which reflects the closing price of Bunker Hill’s shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) on April 9, 2026. The RSUs are governed by the company’s amended and restated Restricted Stock Unit Incentive Plan.

Incentive Stock Options

In addition to the RSUs, the board approved the grant of 12,402 incentive stock options to a senior officer. These options, issued under the company’s amended and restated Stock Option Plan, give the holder the right to purchase up to 12,402 shares of common stock at an exercise price of C$5.60 per share. The options expire on April 10, 2031, and vest in one‑third increments on April 10 of 2027, 2028, and 2029. The exercise price likewise reflects the closing TSX price on April 9, 2026.

Strategic Context

The equity grants are part of Bunker Hill’s broader strategy to revitalize its historic mining asset, the Bunker Hill Mine in northern Idaho’s Coeur d’Alene district. By incentivizing senior leadership and directors, the company aims to align management interests with long‑term shareholder value while advancing exploration and development efforts in the Silver Valley mining district.
