Hecla Reports Drilling Successes at Casa Berardi, San Sebastian, Greens Creek and Nevada

‘We have been successful in discovering high-grade mineralization at Casa Berardi, San Sebastian, Greens Creek and in Nevada,’ said Mr. Phillips S. Baker, Jr., President and CEO. ‘Our focus at Casa Berardi is increasing underground reserves and as expected, we are seeing the underground resource continuing as the exploration moves east. In Mexico, the discovery of additional oxide resources at San Sebastian could extend the mine life. At Greens Creek we could see reserve increases again this year as the resources are upgraded. In Nevada, one of our main reasons for the acquisition is being proved with many high-grade intercepts.’

Azure Expands Oposura Mineral Resource

Commenting on the updated Mineral Resource, Azure’s Managing Director, Mr Tony Rovira, said: ‘Azure is continuing to successfully advance the development and production strategy for Oposura. The latest drilling campaign has increased the East Zone resource tonnage and the amount of total contained zinc, lead and silver within the deposit, which will likely lead to an increase in the mine life of the project as part of the Feasibility Study currently in progress. Drilling also confirmed that significant quantities of high-grade mineralisation are immediately accessible for open pit and underground mining, supporting near-term mine development.’
