Bunker Hill Mining (BNKR.TO) has completed the first production stope blast at the Bunker Hill mine in Idaho, keeping the project on track for commercial production by the end of 2026.
The milestone marked the project's transition from mine redevelopment to underground production, the mining company said Monday.
Bunker Hill Mining said its near-term priorities include increasing underground mining rates and optimizing the processing circuit at the project, which has a target capacity of 1,800 tonnes per day.
