Hecla’s Responsible Actions / Environment
Hecla’s Commitment to Recycling
Different types of waste are generated during each stage of the mining process.
Using Technology to Exceed Energy Consumption & Emissions Targets
Hecla exceeded our 2019 performance targets for energy consumption and GHG emissions at our Casa Berardi Mine in Québec.
Managing Climate Change
Hecla has adopted a robust and on-going continuous improvement approach to identify and manage climate change related risks and continue our efforts to reduce our footprint on the climate.
Hecla has Met or Exceed Reclamation Requirements
The State of Montana recently recognized the successful reclamation progress at the Troy Mine.
Water Management is Critical to our Communities
We take very seriously how our decisions and processes related to water management impact our overall operations and our communities.
Hecla Completes Reclamation of the Troy Tailings Storage Facility in Montana
Before we even begin, we think of the end. When Hecla acquired the Troy Mine in 2015, we made a commitment to the community to reclaim the site so the mined lands could be returned to other productive land uses such as wildlife habitat.
Innovation Increases Mine Safety
Hecla has invested in innovative technology to help protect our people and reduce our environmental impact.
Renewable Energy Helps Reduce our Carbon Footprint
Hecla uses renewable energy sources whenever possible to further reduce our environmental impact.
Tailings Management is a Top Company Priority
Responsible management of mining waste, or tailings, is a critical part of our daily operations and our long-term responsibility to our communities.
