Description: HL Hecla Mining January 10, 2026
Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) is a U.S.-based miner that extracts silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates, as well as carbon material and doré, serving custom smelters, metal traders, and third-party processors. Its flagship operation is the Greens Creek mine on Admiralty Island, Alaska. Founded in 1891, Hecla is headquartered in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and operates across the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, and China.
Key recent metrics: Hecla produced ~27.5 million ounces of silver in 2023, generating $1.1 billion in revenue and maintaining an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of roughly $12 per ounce-well below the current market price of ≈$23/oz. The company’s cash flow conversion exceeded 80% and its debt-to-EBITDA ratio sits near 1.2×, indicating a solid balance sheet. Sector-wide, silver demand is being buoyed by renewable-energy storage (e.g., battery cathodes) and industrial applications, while inflation expectations and safe-haven buying support price levels.
