Operational Strategy: Long-Lived Mines in Safe Jurisdictions

Hecla invests in long-lived assets. This allows us to operate with maximum efficiency while also building deep ties to the communities in which we operate.

Our mines are located in North America, primarily in the U.S. These jurisdictions have established transparent regulatory frameworks for environmental compliance, health and safety protections, community engagement, corporate governance, and adherence to human rights. This ensures our operations run efficiently, our workers are protected, and our investors get exposure to silver without taking on the political and currency risks of other countries. Our site locations are also highly rated by the Fraser Institute’s annual survey of mineral and mining companies for investor attractiveness and a region’s policy climate.

  • For investment attractiveness, Hecla operates in 5 of the top 20 regions globally (Nevada 2, Quebec 5, Alaska 11, Yukon 16, Idaho 20).
  • For Policy Perception, we operate in 2 of the top 10 globally (Nevada 5, Quebec 6), with 2 in the top 25 (Alaska 19, Idaho 25).

Hecla operates in jurisdictions rated by the Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index for low corruption. (Canada has a ranking of 12 and the U.S. ranking is 24).

Note: All estimates are in-situ except for the proven reserves at Greens Creek which are in surface stockpiles. Mineral resources are exclusive of reserves.

(1) The term “reserve” means an estimate of tonnage and grade or quality of indicated and measured mineral resources that, in the opinion of the qualified person, can be the basis of an economically viable project. More specifically, it is the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource, which includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined or extracted. The term “proven reserves” means the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource and can only result from conversion of a measured mineral resource. See footnotes 8 and 9 below.

(2) Mineral reserves are based on $22/oz silver, $1,900/oz gold, $0.90/lb lead, $1.15/lb zinc, unless otherwise stated. All Mineral Reserves are reported in-situ with estimates of mining dilution and mining loss.

(3) The reserve NSR cut-off values for Greens Creek is $230/ton for all zones; metallurgical recoveries (actual 2024): 79% for silver, 72% for gold, 81% for lead, and 89% for zinc.  

(4) The reserve NSR cut-off values for Lucky Friday are $225/ton for the 30 Vein and $236/ton for the Intermediate Veins; metallurgical recoveries (actual 2024): 94% for silver, 94% for lead, and 86% for zinc.

(5) The average reserve cut-off grades at Casa Berardi are 0.12 oz/ton gold (4.1 g/tonne) underground and 0.03 oz/ton gold (1.1 g/tonne) for open pit. Metallurgical recovery (actual 2024): 85% for gold; US$/CAD$ exchange rate: 1:1.35.

(6) The reserve NSR cut-off value at Keno Hill is $235.20/ton (CAD$350/tonne), Metallurgical recovery (actual 2024): 97% for silver, 95% for lead, 87% for zinc; US$/CAD$ exchange rate: 1:1.35.

(7) The term “probable reserves” means the economically mineable part of an indicated and, in some cases, a measured mineral resource. See footnotes 9 and 10 below.

(8) The term “mineral resources” means a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. A mineral resource is a reasonable estimate of mineralization, taking into account relevant factors such as cut-off grade, likely mining dimensions, location or continuity, that, with the assumed and justifiable technical and economic conditions, is likely to, in whole or in part, become economically extractable. It is not merely an inventory of all mineralization drilled or sampled.

(9) The term “measured resources” means that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of conclusive geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty associated with a measured mineral resource is sufficient to allow a qualified person to apply modifying factors in sufficient detail to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Because a measured mineral resource has a higher level of confidence than the level of confidence of either an indicated mineral resource or an inferred mineral resource, a measured mineral resource may be converted to a proven mineral reserve or to a probable mineral reserve.

(10) The term “indicated resources” means that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of adequate geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty associated with an indicated mineral resource is sufficient to allow a qualified person to apply modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Because an indicated mineral resource has a lower confidence level than a measured mineral resource, an indicated mineral resource may only be converted to a probable mineral reserve.

(11) The term “inferred resources” means that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological uncertainty associated with an inferred mineral resource is too high to apply relevant technical and economic factors likely to influence the prospects of economic extraction in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability. Because an inferred mineral resource has the lowest level of geological confidence of all mineral resources, which prevents the application of the modifying factors in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability, an inferred mineral resource may not be considered when assessing the economic viability of a mining project and may not be converted to a mineral reserve.

(12) Mineral resources are based on $2,000/oz gold, $24/oz silver, $1.15/lb lead, $1.35/lb zinc and $4/lb copper, unless otherwise stated.

(13) The resource NSR cut-off values for Greens Creek is $230/ton for all zones; metallurgical recoveries (actual 2024): 79% for silver, 72% for gold, 81% for lead, and 89% for zinc.
