Key Details

• Resignation effective date: March 10, 2026 (Gerbrand van Heerden).
• Interim appointment effective date: March 10, 2026 (Bradley Barnett).
• Interim CFO cash compensation: US$25,000 per month.
• Equity incentive: eligible to receive up to US$50,000 in deferred share units in connection with a possible listing on the NYSE American.
• Company disclosed no family relationships or related-party transactions requiring Item 404 disclosure for Mr. Barnett. A press release on the change was furnished as Exhibit 99.1.

Why It Matters

• A CFO change is material for investors because it affects oversight of financial reporting, controls and investor communications. Bunker Hill named an internal, experienced mining executive as interim CFO, which may support continuity in operations and reporting.
• The disclosed pay and deferred-share-unit incentive signal the company’s intent to retain financial leadership during a potential NYSE American listing process. Investors should watch for further updates on a permanent CFO appointment and any impact on financial reporting or governance.
