2022 Silver Equivalent Production Of 9.7 Million Ounces In First Quarter

COEUR D'ALENE, ID - Hecla Mining Company, President and CEO, Phillips S. Baker said, “Hecla saw solid production from all three operations. Greens Creek’s production increased due to slightly higher grades. Lucky Friday’s production has now had six quarters with production above 830 thousand ounces, positioning production to grow to over a million ounces a quarter for the remainder of the year. At Casa Berardi, production was as planned with the mill processing more 160 Pit material. Hecla is on track to grow silver production this year and for each of the next two years while also being the United States’ third largest zinc producer. Zinc, like silver, is a critical mineral in the energy transition and is approaching its all-time high price set 15 years ago.”
