Bunker Hill Director Resigns as Idaho Mine Nears Restart

Mark Child has resigned from the board of Bunker Hill Mining Corp., effective immediately. The company disclosed the departure in a statement Thursday, thanking Child for his service since joining the board earlier this year.

Child's exit comes as Bunker Hill pushes toward the restart of its flagship asset, the historic Bunker Hill Mine in Idaho's Coeur d'Alene mining district. The 1,800-ton-per-day operation is scheduled to start this month, according to the company.

CEO Sam Ash said Child's experience and perspective were valuable as the company advanced the mine's redevelopment. The board will evaluate its composition and decide whether to appoint a replacement in due course.

Bunker Hill is a U.S.-based exploration and development company focused on the silver, zinc, and lead deposit. The company's strategy centers on revitalizing the mine using modern techniques while maintaining environmental and operational standards.

The resignation adds a governance question to a company in the final stages of a multi-year restart effort. Bunker Hill has not disclosed whether the board seat will remain vacant or be filled before the mine begins production.
