HIGHLIGHTS
- Achieved near-record silver reserves, reaching 240 million
ounces and approaching an all-time high
- Fully replaced silver production from reserves through
strategic reserve replacement across operations
- Restored nearly all silver reserves at Greens Creek through
targeted exploration
- Grew Keno Hill reserves by 17% to reach 64 million silver
ounces
- Maintained gold reserves with production replaced and added 21
thousand ounces at Casa Berardi
- Demonstrated robust economics using conservative pricing
($22/oz silver, $1,900/oz gold)
- Disciplined resource estimation with updated cut-off grades
reflecting current costs
- Discovered and expanded high-grade zones across multiple
properties through focused drilling
- Accelerated development of high-priority exploration targets to
drive future growth
"Hecla's silver reserves stand at 240 million ounces, the
second-highest level in our 134-year history and only 1 million
ounces below our peak in 2022," said Rob Krcmarov, President and
CEO. "Our 2024 exploration program continued to deliver exceptional
results at both Keno Hill and Greens Creek while Keno Hill reserves
grew by over 17% and silver production was nearly replaced at
Greens Creek. These achievements position Hecla for continued
growth as the largest silver producer in the U.S. and Canada and
lay the foundation for sustained future growth."
Kurt Allen, Vice President of Exploration, commented on the
exploration success: "The 2024 drilling program has significantly
advanced our understanding of the high-grade mineralization
controls at both Keno Hill and Greens Creek. At Keno Hill, the
Bermingham Footwall and Main Vein zones continue to deliver
exceptional silver grades over mineable widths and remain open for
expansion. The emerging cluster of high-grade silver values beneath
the Bermingham Deep Northeast Ore Zone is particularly exciting,
suggesting proximity to a new ore-shoot that will be a key focus of
our 2025 drilling program. At Greens Creek, the strong results from
the West Zone and 5250 Zone support our view that this world-class
deposit continues to hold significant exploration potential."

EXPLORATION UPDATE
Keno Hill, Yukon Territory
Fourth quarter drilling at Keno Hill substantially expanded
high-grade mineralization through an aggressive dual-focus program
of underground definition and surface exploration drilling.
Underground drilling completed 7,100 feet, concentrating on
resource conversion and expansion of the high-grade Bermingham Bear
Zone Veins. Concurrent surface exploration deployed five core
drills to complete 28,000 feet across multiple promising targets
including the Bermingham Deep, Elsa 17-Dixie, Inca, and
Hector-Calumet areas (Figure 1).
Definition drilling in the Bear Zone veins yielded significant
results, particularly in the Footwall and Main Veins where
high-grade mineralization was extended both at depth and along
strike. While drilling in the Bear Vein identified narrow vein
mineralization between the Ursa and Arctic faults, the most
substantial gains came from the Footwall and Main Veins, where
strong high-grade intercepts significantly expanded the known
mineralized zones. Both the Footwall and Main Vein zones remain
open at depth, with further drilling planned for the first half of
2025 to test their expansion potential. Assay highlights include
(reported widths are estimates of true width):
- Bear Vein: 13.2 oz/ton silver, 2.6% lead, and 0.9% zinc over
7.5 feet
- Bear Vein: 12.6 oz/ton silver, 1.9% lead, and 0.1% zinc over
5.7 feet
- Footwall Vein: 37.3 oz/ton silver, 4.8% lead, and 1.2% zinc
over 12.5 feet
- Includes: 117.2 oz/ton silver, 15.9% lead, and 10.2% zinc over
0.9 feet
- Footwall Vein: 36.6 oz/ton silver, 3.0% lead, and 0.9% zinc
over 11.2 feet
- Includes: 48.4 oz/ton silver, 3.7% lead, and 1.0% zinc over 8.1
feet
- Main Vein: 42.8 oz/ton silver, 9.3% lead, and 9.7% zinc over
6.8 feet
- Main Vein: 23.8 oz/ton silver, 2.9% lead, and 0.9% zinc over
7.5 feet
Surface exploration drilling delivered exciting results from
both the Bermingham system and Inca Vein target areas.
At Bermingham, drilling intercepted significant mineralization
across multiple veins, highlighted by an 11.3-foot intersection in
the Footwall Vein grading 11.1 oz/ton silver with associated base
metals. This intercept, located beneath the northeastern edge of
the Bermingham Deep Northeast Ore Zone, suggests proximity to a new
ore-shoot controlled by an interpreted vein intersection. The area
is slated for follow-up drilling in 2025.
At the Inca Vein target, initial drilling has outlined over 800
feet of mineralized strike length, delivering exceptional results
including 22.3 feet grading 18.1 oz/ton silver, 16.1% zinc, and
significant indium values. The zone remains open for expansion in
all directions, demonstrating strong potential for resource growth.
The best intercept included 14.3 feet grading 26.1 oz/ton silver
and 20.9% zinc, with notable indium credits of 7.0 oz/ton.
Greens Creek, Alaska
At Greens Creek, two underground drilling rigs completed 27
drillholes, totaling 17,083 feet. Definition drilling was focused
on resource conversion and exploration and resulted in extending
mineralization from known resources. Underground definition
drilling targeted the 9A, East, and Gallagher zones and exploration
targeted the Gallagher Zone (Figure 5). Assay results were received
during the quarter from the 5250, 9A, Gallagher, West, 200S, and
UPP zones.
Underground definition drilling delivered mixed but overall
positive results across multiple zones. At the Gallagher Zone, four
drillholes across two sections encountered elevated alteration,
with 61% of received assays from 23 holes expected to positively
impact the resource. Highlights from this drilling include:
- 8.0 oz/ton silver, 0.15 oz/ton gold, 4.7% lead, and 10.4% zinc
over 11.1 feet
During the quarter, assay results for the 5250 Zone were
received for 22 drillholes, targeting 13 cross-sections, of which
41% are expected to have a positive impact on the resource.
Highlights from this drilling include:
- 24.3 oz/ton silver, 0.07 oz/ton gold, 4.3% lead and 9.2% zinc
over 46.6 feet
- 29.7 oz/ton silver, 0.08 oz/ton gold, 3.4% lead and 4.4% zinc
over 24.3 feet
During the quarter, assay results for the West Zone were
received for 15 drillholes, targeting eight cross-sections, of
which 40% are expected to have a positive impact on the resource.
Highlights from this drilling include:
- 34.6 oz/ton silver, 0.44 oz/ton gold, 2.8% lead and 5.9% zinc
over 12.1 feet
- 40.1 oz/ton silver, 0.36 oz/ton gold, 4.3% lead and 8.2% zinc
over 8.0 feet
The 9A Zone drilling campaign successfully established important
continuity across several gaps within the zone. Highlights from
this drilling include:
- 10.8 oz/ton silver, 0.21 oz/ton gold, 4.5% lead, and 8.7% lead
over 17.3 feet
- 11.1 oz/ton silver, 0.03 oz/ton gold, 5.0% lead, and 11.6% zinc
over 18.5 feet
- 27.4 oz/ton silver, 0.03 oz/ton gold, 5.8% lead, and 11.5% zinc
over 6.2 feet

Cautionary Statements to Investors on
Reserves and Resources
This news release uses the terms “mineral resources,” “measured
mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred
mineral resources”. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves
do not have demonstrated economic viability. You should not assume
that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources
will ever be converted into mineral reserves. Further, inferred
mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their
existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or
economically, and 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. We report
reserves and resources under the SEC’s mining disclosure rules
(“S-K 1300”) and Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) because we are a
“reporting issuer” under Canadian securities laws. Unless otherwise
indicated, all resource and reserve estimates contained in this
press release have been prepared in accordance with S-K 1300 as
well as NI 43-101.

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, $1900/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 are $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 $236/ton for the
Intermediate Veins; metallurgical recoveries (actual 2024): 94% for
silver, 94% for lead, and 86% for zinc
(5)
The average reserve cut-off grades at Casa
Berardi are 0.12 oz/ton gold (4.1 g/tonne) underground and 0.03
oz/ton gold (1.1 g/tonne) for open pit. Metallurgical recovery
(actual 2024): 85% for gold; US$/CAN$ exchange rate: 1:1.35.
(6)
The reserve NSR cut-off value at Keno Hill
is $235.20/ton (CAN$350/tonne), Metallurgical recovery (actual
2024): 97% for silver, 95% for lead, 87% for zinc; US$/CAN$
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.

Note: All estimates are in-situ except for
the proven reserves at Greens Creek and Keno Hill which are in
surface stockpiles. Stockpile materials make up 26.5 k tons of the
total proven reserves at Casa Berardi. Mineral resources are
exclusive of reserves.
(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)
