Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) is pleased to
report that it has received the 2022 Environmental and
Sustainability Excellence Award for its San Sebastian mine, located
in Durango State, Mexico. The award, given by the American
Exploration & Mining Association (AEMA), is in recognition of
Hecla’s strong commitment to the highest environmental and
sustainability standards.
“Hecla is honored to receive this important award,” said
Phillips S. Baker, Jr., Hecla’s President and CEO. “At each of our
sites, Hecla is committed to the safety of our workforce, and
mining practices which minimize the impact of our operations on the
environment, and respect and support the communities where we live
and work. This commitment is underscored by our reclamation
activities at San Sebastian where after several years of high-grade
production from various open pits, our team was able to restore the
land to its prior setting and community use.”
“Hecla’s reclamation activities at San Sebastian, which included
filling in the open pits and returning lands to community
agricultural use, are a shining example of Hecla’s commitment to a
sound environment and fostering sustainability in the communities
in which they operate,” said Mark Compton, Executive Director of
the AEMA.
Hecla’s San Sebastian mine is a silver and gold project located
in Durango State, Mexico. Mining of high-grade ore at San Sebastian
was conducted from 2001 to 2005 and again from 2015 to 2020. During
the time of production, San Sebastian was one of the highest-grade
silver producers in Mexico, producing more than 23.6 million ounces
of silver. The district remains highly prospective and Hecla’s
exploration activities remain active.
