BUNKER HILL MINING CORP.
(incorporated under the laws of State of Nevada)
Warrant Certificate No. W21-I-[●] | [●] Warrants to Purchase Common Shares |
This warrant (the “Warrant”) will be void and of no value unless exercised prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Expiry Time (as defined below).
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, [NAME, ADDRESS] (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase, at any time and from time to time, up to [●] fully paid and non-assessable common shares without par value (the “Shares”) in the capital of Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (the “Company”), upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter referred to. The Holder is entitled to purchase the Shares at and for a price (the “Exercise Price”) of CAD$0.60 per Share at any time until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on February [9], 2026 (the “Expiry Time”).
Such right to purchase the Shares may only be exercised by the Holder within the time hereinbefore set out by:
(i) | duly completing, in the manner indicated, and executing the Subscription Form attached hereto; and | |
(ii) | surrendering this Warrant to the Company at the offices of the Company, at 82 Richmond Street East, Suite 200, Toronto, ON M5C 1P1, together with cash or a certified cheque payable to the order of the Company in the amount of the aggregate exercise price of the Shares subscribed for. |
This Warrant and such certified cheque or cash will be deemed to be so surrendered and exercised only upon actual receipt thereof by the Company (the “Exercise Date”).
Any Shares issued on the exercise of this Warrant will be issued effective on the Exercise Date. Unless otherwise directed, the Company will, within three business days of the Exercise Date, mail or caused to be mailed to the Holder at the address indicated on the Subscription Form attached hereto a certificate or certificates representing such Shares.
The Holder may subscribe for and purchase any lesser number than the whole number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant and, in such event, will be entitled to receive a new Warrant with respect to the remaining balance of the Shares purchasable under this Warrant.
In the event of any alteration of the Shares, including any subdivision, consolidation or reclassification, or in the event of any form of reorganization of the Company, including any amalgamation, merger or arrangement (collectively, a “Reorganization”), an adjustment will be made to the terms of the Warrants such that the Holder, upon exercise of any Warrants following the completion of the Reorganization, will be entitled to receive the same number and kind of securities that it would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Reorganization had it exercised its Warrants immediately prior to the Reorganization.
The Company will not effect any Reorganization which could result in a successor to the Company unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, the entity succeeding the Company acknowledges in writing that it is bound by and will comply with the provisions set forth in this Warrant Certificate.
If, in case at any time:
(a) | the Company pays any dividend payable in stock upon the Shares or makes any distribution to the holders of the Shares; | |
(b) | the Company offers for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Shares any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; | |
(c) | there is a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; or |
(d) | in case of any Reorganization; |
then, and in any one or more of such cases, the Company will give to the Holder at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company will close or a record will be taken for such dividend, distribution or offer of subscription rights, or for determining rights to vote with respect to such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up or Reorganization and, in the case of such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up or Reorganization, at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same will take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause will also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or offer of subscriptions rights, the date on which the holders of the Shares will be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance with the foregoing will also specify the date on which the holders of the Shares will be entitled to exchange the Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up or Reorganization, as the case may be. Each such written notice will be given by first class registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address of such Holder, as shown on the books of the Company.

In accordance with this certificate, the Company will make adjustments as it considers necessary and equitable acting in good faith. If at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for herein, such dispute will be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Company or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors of the Company and any such determination, absent manifest error, will be binding upon the Company, the Holder and shareholders of the Company. The Company will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Company and fees payable to such accountants or auditors will be paid by the Company.
To the extent that this Warrant confers the right to purchase a fraction of a Share, such right may be exercised in respect of such fraction only in combination with another Warrant or other Warrants which in the aggregate entitle the Holder to purchase a whole number of Shares. No fractional Shares will be issued or consideration given in lieu thereof.
The Holder may, at any time prior to the Expiry Time, upon surrender hereof to the Company and upon payment of such applicable transfer charges as may be required by the Company from time to time, exchange this Warrant for other Warrants entitling the Holder to subscribe in the aggregate for the same number of Shares as are purchasable under this Warrant at the time of such exchange.
The terms and holding of this Warrant do not constitute the Holder to be a shareholder of the Company or entitle the Holder to any right or interest with respect thereto except as herein expressly provided.
The Company will reserve and set aside sufficient shares in its authorized capital to issue the Shares which may be issued from time to time on exercise of the Warrant.
Any notice to be given hereunder to the Holder will be given in writing and either sent by telecopier, delivered or mailed by prepaid post to the Holder at the address indicated on the Warrant, or at such other address as the Holder may hereafter designate by notice in writing. If such notice is sent by telecopier or is delivered, it will be deemed to have been given at the time of delivery; if such notice is sent by mail, it will be deemed to have been given 48 hours following the date of mailing thereof. In the event of a mail strike or disruption in postal service at or prior to the time a notice is deemed to have been received by mail, such notice will be delivered or sent by telecopier.
