Business Wire
Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) is pleased to announce that
Senior Vice President - Exploration, Dr. Dean McDonald, received
the A.O. Dufresne Exploration Achievement Award from the Canadian
Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), at the CIM
Annual Awards Gala in Montreal, Quebec on Monday night. This award
recognizes Dr. McDonald’s “exceptional contributions to mining
exploration in Canada.”
“Congratulations to Dean on receiving this prestigious award,”
said Phillips S. Baker, Jr., President and CEO. “We believe the
largest risk to mining companies today is the ability to replace
reserves. Dean and his exploration team have been instrumental in
Hecla maintaining its strong and growing reserve and resource
profile over the past 10 years; as we added 299 million silver
ounces to reserves despite price volatility and the recent trend in
the industry of declining reserves.”
“I would like to thank the CIM for this recognition, and commend
the organization for the positive impact it has on the mining
industry in Canada and around the world and specifically on my
career,” said Dr. McDonald. “I share this award with the
exploration teams I have worked in the past and currently at each
of our sites, without whom this success would not be possible. This
award has particular personal significance to me, as my father was
awarded the Canadian Mineral Processor Medal by the CIM - Mineral
Processors Division, fifteen years ago.”
