The Bunker Hill project is one I am watching closely. The region is known as Idaho's Silver Valley. It holds some of the US's largest silver lead zinc deposits and has had mining going for the last 129 years continuously. Currently the only operator in the area is Hecla operating out of Lucky Friday up the road from Kelloog. The Bunker Hill mine has been moth balled since the late 90s when the original onsite smelter and electrolytic zinc plant were demolished. The modern company hopes for a quick restart in mining in the Bunker hill complex using a mix of modern and existing data from the 1970s. I believe its a solid plan and project, however it does have major problems to work on, like modernizing the moth balled underground mine, mill and other on site infrastructure. The project has the backing of the local community as well, which is good seeing as its smack dab in the middle of a major town. Over all I like the project.
