Daily Processing of 1,800 Tonnes Enters Raw Ore Trial Run
On June 25, 2026, Bunker Hill Mining (BNKR/BHLL) disclosed that commissioning progress at its concentrator in Kellogg, Idaho, United States proceeded smoothly, with the first batch of saleable concentrate expected by the end of June 2026. The new concentrator has a daily processing capacity of 1,800 tonnes. Currently, the crusher has begun processing ore and feeding the silo, while grinding, flotation, thickening, filtration, and tailings filter press sections are conducting final debugging simultaneously. The system operates under a closed-loop water management system; waste rock debugging has been completed and switched to the raw ore trial run phase.
Restarting Silver-Zinc-Lead Mine Has Limited Short-Term Impact
The project aims to restart the Bunker Hill mine, which is rich in silver, zinc, and lead resources. Given that the project is currently in the critical transition period from trial run to commercial production, the actual output release rhythm still requires observation of subsequent operational stability, with limited impact on short-term global silver, zinc, and lead supply. Investors need to monitor potential impacts of financing, approvals, and metal price volatility risk factors on project progress.
