@rich surely trump needs to get the stimulus deal over the line before the elections (like next week?). It’s his only chance as he prides himself on single handily being the only reason the stock market goes up (but never down)!
Hi aprogerson,
Regardless of mining success, our debt will only drop from £26m to £19-20m as HUM get fined extra for paying back the debt before mid 2021. So there’s no incentive for HUM to do this. However, announcing they’re net debt free will be a great headline for next weeks Q3.
Having paid £7m debt back and having more than £20m in cash/ processed gold dour on hand after paying down the debt is my target which I believe is achievable and a massive milestone for the company.
Fingers crossed!!!
I agree sands.
Although Sustainable must have under £9million shares left which should get mopped up between now and the end of the year.
Being net debt free will be their first goal. Maybe this will be something they can look into after Q3 & when gold goes on another run. Buy it up when it’s under £5m might be more manageable? That’s assuming sustainable are going to zero.
They’ve got to balance saving up for the new mine without borrowing much money as that will cost us just as much in interest going forward. Then again if they can borrow money at a decent fixed rate with inflation around the corner then we should do it.
Either way, I’ve topped up this morning and looking forward to our best ever gold price quarter next week. My first purchase in Hum was 38p when the mine was 6months out from being completed! We are due a rerate soon!

Nice £120k buy popping up from earlier. Jeez, this is going to fly once sustainable is done.
Come on Dan, pick up the phone and do a deal with them. You’ll hit your 60p bonuses in no time. You know it makes sense!
Back of fag packet (please correct my figures).
25,000 x $900 profit = $22,500,000
Plus $2m (Dugbe) + $4m gold waiting to be sold.
Add that the $6m in cash = $34.5m.
We had $26m debt left?
Even with smaller production figures of 22k we should be over the magic line?
Dan sounded upbeat in the last interview I listened to. Stated no issues etc.
I think this comes next week and we will get a nice rise into it this week.
Has anyone got any figures on whether we announce we’re net debt free?
Surely with the Dugbe money, paid down debt to sub $20m we are?
We had $6m in the bank last time after spending a lot in that quarter on supplies. Surely we made more than $18m with them high gold prices?
Agree, I’m sure it will appear in the Q3 update arriving from the 19th onwards.
It won’t shift the SP so save the money on the RNS and wait until they release some good silver drills.
If gold behaves itself this week we should get a nice rise this week. Good production figures following the drilling update should be a nice catalyst.
Do we finally announce that we’re next debt free in this Q3 report?
So after the loan conversation HUM will have 9,625,837 shares which is about 10% of BH.
BH raised $20m in August so they’ve got enough to now get on with quite a bit of drilling so fingers crossed we find some silver.
This was the last update on BH in April.
Bunker Hill

Nothing to forgive. These message boards are all about sharing ideas and finding new information.
Pre Q2 update I was sure a divi was a likely option but the company updated me via email.
This is my no. 1 gold play for the upcoming precious metal bull run over the next few years. Looking forward to Q3 results very much!
Hi aprogerson,
Just an FYI we will get fined if we pay back our debt earlier so we will not do that. What it does mean is that we’re sitting pretty, net debt free with a lot of cash in the bank now. This is why an option to purchase sustainables shares on the cheap now before Q3 news would be a great move IMO.
The company also said it’s too early for a divi when I asked them. I think their main aim is to fully find the new mine which makes sense and saves us going back into debt. They will save a lot of money in repayments over 3-4 years. Unless another acquisition becomes available.
Sustainable's holdings went from 10.48% - 6.9% in 2 months between July- Sept. With increased volume going into Q3 I reckon Sustainable will be finished by years end (assuming they're selling all).
Someone mentioned the other day that HUM should finish them off and buy these shares from them directly. Would be a cracking investment and with all the cash they've got sitting in the bank. We would rerate to the 50's on that news!
Great drilling update must add another year or so with all the step outs!
