THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received,
(the “Warrantholder”) is the registered holder of the number of common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) of Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (the “Corporation”) specified above, and is entitled, on exercise of these Warrants upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Indenture (as defined below), to purchase at any time before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) (the “Expiry Time”) on April 1, 2025 (the “Expiry Date”), one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock without par value in the capital of the Corporation as constituted on the date hereof (a “Common Share”) for each Warrant subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Indenture. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Warrant Indenture.
This warrant certificate (the “Warrant Certificate”) evidences Warrants issued under the provisions of a warrant indenture dated as of April 1, 2022 between the Corporation and Capital Transfer Agency ULC (“Capital Transfer”), as supplemented by a supplemental warrant indenture dated June 6, 2024 by and among the Corporation, Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare”) and Capital Transfer (which together with all other instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto is herein referred to as the “Warrant Indenture”), to which Warrant Indenture reference is hereby made for particulars of the rights of the holders of Warrants, the Corporation and the Warrant Agent in respect thereof and the terms and conditions on which the Warrants are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Warrant Indenture were herein set forth, to all of which the Warrantholder, by acceptance hereof, assents. The Corporation will furnish to the holder, on request and without charge, a copy of the Warrant Indenture.
Capital Transfer resigned and was replaced by Computershare as Warrant Agent effective as of June 10, 2024. For clarity, references to the “Warrant Agent” in the Warrant Indenture, this Warrant Certificate and any schedules or appendices thereto refer to Computershare.
The right to purchase Common Shares may only be exercised by the Warrantholder within the time set forth above by:
(a) duly completing and executing the exercise form (the “Exercise Form”) attached hereto; and
(b) surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the Exercise Form to the Warrant Agent at the principal office of the Warrant Agent, in Vancouver, British Columbia, together with a certified cheque, bank draft or money order in the lawful money of Canada payable to or to the order of the Corporation in an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Common Shares so subscribed for.
The surrender of this Warrant Certificate, the duly completed Exercise Form and payment as provided above will be deemed to have been effected only on personal delivery thereof to, or if sent by mail or other means of transmission on actual receipt thereof by, the Warrant Agent at its principal office as set out above.
Pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Warrant Indenture, subject to adjustment thereof in the events and in the manner set forth in the Warrant Indenture, the exercise price payable for each Common Share upon the exercise of Warrants shall be $0.37 per Common Share (the “Exercise Price”) provided that the Warrants shall be exercisable on a cashless basis in the event the Registration Statement has not been made effective by the SEC prior to the Exercise Date.
DRS Advice(s) or physical certificates for the Common Shares subscribed for will be emailed or mailed, as applicable, within three (3) Business Days of such exercise, to the persons specified in the Exercise Form at their respective email addresses or addresses, as applicable, specified therein or, if so specified in the Exercise Form, delivered to such persons at the office where this Warrant Certificate is surrendered. If fewer Common Shares are purchased than the number that can be purchased pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, the holder hereof will be entitled to receive without charge a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of the Common Shares not so purchased. No fractional Common Shares will be issued upon exercise of any Warrant.
On presentation at the principal office of the Warrant Agent as set out above, subject to the provisions of the Warrant Indenture and on compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent, one or more Warrant Certificates may be exchanged for one or more Warrant Certificates entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate an equal number of Common Shares as are purchasable under the Warrant Certificate(s) so exchanged.
Neither the Warrants nor the Common Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or U.S. state securities laws. These Warrants may not be exercised in the United States or by or on behalf of, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person or a person in the United States unless the Warrants and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and the applicable state securities legislation or an exemption from such registration requirements is available. “United States” and “U.S. Person” have the meanings ascribed thereto in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
The Warrant Indenture contains provisions for the adjustment of the Exercise Price payable for each Common Share upon the exercise of Warrants and the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants in the events and in the manner set forth therein.
The Warrant Indenture also contains provisions making binding on all holders of Warrants outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of holders of Warrants held in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Indenture and instruments in writing signed by Warrantholders of Warrants entitled to purchase a specific majority of the Common Shares that can be purchased pursuant to such Warrants.
Nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Indenture or elsewhere shall be construed as conferring upon the holder hereof any right or interest whatsoever as a holder of Common Shares or any other right or interest except as herein and in the Warrant Indenture expressly provided. In the event of any discrepancy between anything contained in this Warrant Certificate and the terms and conditions of the Warrant Indenture, the terms and conditions of the Warrant Indenture shall govern.
Warrants may only be transferred in compliance with the conditions of the Warrant Indenture on the register to be kept by the Warrant Agent in Vancouver, British Columbia or such other registrar as the Corporation, with the approval of the Warrant Agent, may appoint at such other place or places, if any, as may be designated, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent or other registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and execution satisfactory to the Warrant Agent or other registrar and upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Warrant Indenture and with such reasonable requirements as the Warrant Agent or other registrar may prescribe and upon the transfer being duly noted thereon by the Warrant Agent or other registrar. Time is of the essence hereof.
This Warrant Certificate will not be valid for any purpose until it has been countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent from time to time under the Warrant Indenture.
The parties hereto have declared that they have required that these presents and all other documents related hereto be in the English language. Les parties aux présentes déclarent qu’elles ont exigé que la présente convention, de même que tous les documents s’y rapportant, soient rédigés en anglais.

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received,
(the “Warrantholder”) is the registered holder of the number of common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) of Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (the “Corporation”) specified above, and is entitled, on exercise of these Warrants upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Indenture (as defined below), to purchase at any time before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) (the “Expiry Time”) on April 1, 2025 (the “Expiry Date”), one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock without par value in the capital of the Corporation as constituted on the date hereof (a “Common Share”) for each Warrant subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Indenture. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Warrant Indenture.
This warrant certificate (the “Warrant Certificate”) evidences Warrants issued under the provisions of a warrant indenture dated as of April 1, 2022 between the Corporation and Capital Transfer Agency ULC (“Capital Transfer”), as supplemented by a supplemental warrant indenture dated June 6, 2024 by and among the Corporation, Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare”) and Capital Transfer (which together with all other instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto is herein referred to as the “Warrant Indenture”), to which Warrant Indenture reference is hereby made for particulars of the rights of the holders of Warrants, the Corporation and the Warrant Agent in respect thereof and the terms and conditions on which the Warrants are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Warrant Indenture were herein set forth, to all of which the Warrantholder, by acceptance hereof, assents. The Corporation will furnish to the holder, on request and without charge, a copy of the Warrant Indenture.
Capital Transfer resigned and was replaced by Computershare as Warrant Agent effective as of June 10, 2024. For clarity, references to the “Warrant Agent” in the Warrant Indenture, this Warrant Certificate and any schedules or appendices thereto refer to Computershare.
The right to purchase Common Shares may only be exercised by the Warrantholder within the time set forth above by:
(a) duly completing and executing the exercise form (the “Exercise Form”) attached hereto; and
(b) surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the Exercise Form to the Warrant Agent at the principal office of the Warrant Agent, in Vancouver, British Columbia, together with a certified cheque, bank draft or money order in the lawful money of Canada payable to or to the order of the Corporation in an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Common Shares so subscribed for.
The surrender of this Warrant Certificate, the duly completed Exercise Form and payment as provided above will be deemed to have been effected only on personal delivery thereof to, or if sent by mail or other means of transmission on actual receipt thereof by, the Warrant Agent at its principal office as set out above.
Subject to adjustment thereof in the events and in the manner set forth in the Warrant Indenture, the exercise price payable for each Common Share upon the exercise of Warrants shall be $0.37 per Common Share (the “Exercise Price”).
DRS Advice(s) or physical certificates for the Common Shares subscribed for will be emailed or mailed, as applicable, within three (3) Business Days of such exercise, to the persons specified in the Exercise Form at their respective email addresses or addresses, as applicable, specified therein or, if so specified in the Exercise Form, delivered to such persons at the office where this Warrant Certificate is surrendered. If fewer Common Shares are purchased than the number that can be purchased pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, the holder hereof will be entitled to receive without charge a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of the Common Shares not so purchased. No fractional Common Shares will be issued upon exercise of any Warrant.
On presentation at the principal office of the Warrant Agent as set out above, subject to the provisions of the Warrant Indenture and on compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent, one or more Warrant Certificates may be exchanged for one or more Warrant Certificates entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate an equal number of Common Shares as are purchasable under the Warrant Certificate(s) so exchanged.
Neither the Warrants nor the Common Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or U.S. state securities laws. These Warrants may not be exercised in the United States or by or on behalf of, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person or a person in the United States unless the Warrants and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and the applicable state securities legislation or an exemption from such registration requirements is available. “United States” and “U.S. Person” have the meanings ascribed thereto in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
The Warrant Indenture contains provisions for the adjustment of the Exercise Price payable for each Common Share upon the exercise of Warrants and the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants in the events and in the manner set forth therein.
The Warrant Indenture also contains provisions making binding on all holders of Warrants outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of holders of Warrants held in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Indenture and instruments in writing signed by Warrantholders of Warrants entitled to purchase a specific majority of the Common Shares that can be purchased pursuant to such Warrants.
Nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Indenture or elsewhere shall be construed as conferring upon the holder hereof any right or interest whatsoever as a holder of Common Shares or any other right or interest except as herein and in the Warrant Indenture expressly provided. In the event of any discrepancy between anything contained in this Warrant Certificate and the terms and conditions of the Warrant Indenture, the terms and conditions of the Warrant Indenture shall govern.
Warrants may only be transferred in compliance with the conditions of the Warrant Indenture on the register to be kept by the Warrant Agent in Vancouver, British Columbia or such other registrar as the Corporation, with the approval of the Warrant Agent, may appoint at such other place or places, if any, as may be designated, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent or other registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and execution satisfactory to the Warrant Agent or other registrar and upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Warrant Indenture and with such reasonable requirements as the Warrant Agent or other registrar may prescribe and upon the transfer being duly noted thereon by the Warrant Agent or other registrar. Time is of the essence hereof.
This Warrant Certificate will not be valid for any purpose until it has been countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent from time to time under the Warrant Indenture.
The parties hereto have declared that they have required that these presents and all other documents related hereto be in the English language. Les parties aux présentes déclarent qu’elles ont exigé que la présente convention, de même que tous les documents s’y rapportant, soient rédigés en anglais.
