( BW)(ID-HECLA)(HL) Hecla Receives $5.6 Million for Headquarters
Building

Business Editors

COEUR D`ALENE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 9, 2002--Hecla Mining
Company (NYSE:HL) & (NYSE:HL-PrB) today announced it has completed the
sale of its headquarters building in Coeur d`Alene, Idaho, to JDL
Enterprises of Bellevue, Washington.
The sales price was $5.6 million. Hecla is leasing half of the
building, so its headquarters will remain at the same location.
Hecla Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Arthur Brown said the
majority of the proceeds will be used for Hecla`s exploration
programs, which are primarily focused in Mexico and Venezuela. Brown
said, "We`ve had excellent early results from our exploration efforts
at both the San Sebastian mine in Mexico and the La Camorra mine in
Venezuela. We are eager to move those programs forward as quickly as
possible." He said that earlier in the year, Hecla had reduced its
corporate headquarters staff and no longer needs the use of the entire
building. "It made good sense to turn this valuable building asset
into cash that can be used to improve our operations and advance our
exploration projects," said Brown.
Hecla Mining Company, headquartered in Coeur d`Alene, Idaho, mines
and processes silver and gold in the United States, Venezuela and
Mexico. A 111-year-old company, Hecla has long been well known in the
mining world and financial markets as a primary silver producer.
Hecla`s common and preferred shares are traded on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbols HL and HL-PrB.
