My “day job” is Executive Chairman of Bunker Hill Mining @bnkrhillmining ; and I post this having just returned from the mine, in Idaho, USA. Playing a small part in re-industrialization and metal supply chain security: “Dust covers the proud old flag that hangs in the new, but work-worn Bunker Hill mill. Sentinel again to machine, worker and metal in the rebirth of a grand American mine. 🇺🇸 The steady ramp up of operations to “Commercial Production” and free cash flow by the end of 2026 is on track; testament to engineering skill, determination, ingenuity, commitment and the ability to make every single dollar do ten dollar’s work. Nothing is easy, linear or taken for granted. 🇺🇸 I met an old Bunker Hill underground miner for a drink in the Silver Valley this week, to share with him what’s going on at his old workplace. In his late 70s, he said to me with a glint in his eye that if he only had one week left to live he’d like to spend it with his old underground mining crew from his youth, working together, fixing things, dealing with the difficulties, sweating, straining, proving the planners and doubters wrong, laughing, straining and looking after each other.. It may sound a little mad…maybe. It is certainly sentimental. But such is the nature of mining challenge, worthy hard work and teamwork that it still inspires such thoughts in a proud old man; and such is the enduring spirit of the mining people of the Silver Valley that evidently fills the hearts and minds of the new Bunker team today. 🇺🇸 Mining is a people business; and we should all be very, very proud of them. 🇺🇸 “
