Silver Dollar Resources Inc. Completes the Sale of the Ranger‑Page Mineral Interests to Bunker Hill Mining
Silver Dollar Resources Inc. (NASDAQ: SDRA, CN: SDRA) has finalized the divestiture of its Ranger‑Page silver‑zinc‑lead project, a portfolio of six historically producing underground mines located in Idaho’s prolific Silver Valley. The transaction, announced on December 11, 2025, saw Bunker Hill Mining Corp. assume full ownership of the Ranger‑Page interests, with Silver Dollar retaining a 75 % option to reacquire the assets should the parties agree to a future transaction.
Transaction Details
The sale closed on December 12, 2025, following an agreement reached in late October. Bunker Hill, through its wholly‑owned subsidiary Silver Valley Metals Corp., purchased the Ranger‑Page mineral interests, which encompass sites adjacent to and west of Bunker Hill’s existing mine in KELLOGG, Idaho. The deal also includes an option for Bunker Hill to acquire a 100 % stake in the Ranger‑Page assets. In addition, the transaction grants Bunker Hill a 75 % interest in the project, allowing the company to expand its footprint in the Silver Valley and tap into the rich legacy of high‑grade silver‑lead‑zinc production.
Strategic Implications
For Silver Dollar Resources, the sale marks a significant shift in its asset strategy. By divesting a mature, high‑grade project in Idaho, the company can redirect capital and management attention toward new exploration initiatives, potentially in Canada where it is headquartered and listed on the Canadian National Stock Exchange. The proceeds from the sale are expected to bolster Silver Dollar’s balance sheet, improve liquidity, and provide a foundation for future growth opportunities.
Bunker Hill Mining, on the other hand, leverages the acquisition to enhance its resource base and operational scale in a well‑known mining district. The company has announced a corporate update that includes plans to advance exploration in Idaho using VRIFY’s AI‑enabled exploration intelligence software. This technological integration aims to accelerate the discovery of new mineralization and optimize development timelines across the expanded portfolio.
Market Reaction
Silver Dollar’s closing price on December 11, 2025, stood at CAD 0.50, with a 52‑week high of CAD 0.54 and a low of CAD 0.165 recorded on May 15, 2025. Despite the transaction, the company’s market capitalization remained at approximately CAD 32.76 million, reflecting a modest valuation in the context of the broader mining sector. The negative price‑earnings ratio of –14.3 suggests that the company’s earnings per share are currently below the market price, a common scenario for exploration‑focused entities with substantial upfront costs.
Forward‑Looking Statements
Silver Dollar Resources Inc. and Bunker Hill Mining Corp. have issued a joint corporate update detailing their future exploration plans and strategic direction. While the exact financial terms of the transaction have not been disclosed publicly, both companies emphasize the long‑term value creation potential from the Ranger‑Page acquisition and the anticipated synergies from integrating AI‑driven exploration tools.
The sale underscores the dynamic nature of the mining industry, where companies continuously adjust asset portfolios to align with market conditions, capital availability, and technological advancements. Silver Dollar’s divestiture of the Ranger‑Page project and Bunker Hill’s subsequent acquisition illustrate a strategic realignment that could set a precedent for similar transactions in the sector.
