Hecla Operates in Stable Jurisdictions
Hecla produces one-third of all the silver in the United States. While 88 percent of our production comes from the U.S. and Canada, all of our mine sites are located in stable regions.
Hecla’s Responsible Actions / Environment
U.S. mining is committed to a culture of safety
Hecla’s recent “SAFETY: Take It Home” campaign contest was shared by both the National Mining Association (NMA) and CORESafety.
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.
Respecting and Protecting Habitats
Our mines are located in some of the world’s most unique habitats, and we strive to be attentive neighbors that ensure wildlife is safe and protected for the present and future.
