Description: HL Hecla Mining November 07, 2025

Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) is a U.S.-based producer of precious and base metals, operating mines and processing facilities in the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, and China. Its core assets include the Greens Creek mine in Alaska, which yields silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates, as well as carbon material and doré bars for downstream customers.

Key recent metrics: in 2023 Hecla delivered approximately 13.5 million ounces of silver and 70,000 ounces of gold, with a cash cost of roughly $10 per ounce of silver and a net cash flow of $250 million. The balance sheet remains relatively conservative, with total debt of $260 million and a debt-to-cash-flow ratio below 1.0, providing flexibility for capital-intensive projects.

Sector drivers that materially affect Hecla’s outlook include the price of silver, which is influenced by industrial demand (e.g., photovoltaics, electronics) and investment demand tied to real-interest-rate differentials. Additionally, the strength of the U.S. dollar and global inflation expectations can swing silver’s spot price, while lead and zinc markets are sensitive to construction activity and inventory cycles in China.
