Hecla Reports 2.5 Million Ounces of Silver and 57,808 Ounces of Gold Production in First Quarter 2018
Our mines are performing well due to the strength of our operating teams and consistent and disciplined capital programs that have improved these longlived mines, said Phillips S. Baker, Jr., Heclas President and CEO. Greens Creek continues growing throughput, primarily due to increased efficiency at shift change as we utilize new technologies like remote monitoring systems and automated use of the LHD. Casa Berardi is now fully an underground and open pit mine and continues to set throughput records. San Sebastians production is primarily from stockpiled open pit material as we transition to the underground. The cash position is the second highest in the past 6 years, and we expect to deploy it to acquire Klondex in the second quarter.
