“Hecla’s silver reserves are the second highest in our 133-year history at 238 million silver ounces and only 1% less than last year’s all-time highest reserve, and gold resource is the highest in our history,” said Phillips S. Baker, Jr., President and CEO. “The 2023 exploration program successfully expanded our reserves at Keno Hill and Lucky Friday and expanded mineralization at Greens Creek.”

Baker continued, “Keno Hill’s 2023 exploration provided an 11% increase in reserves, now 45% higher since the acquisition, and does not reflect much of the drilling reported this quarter, so we expect the reserve to grow. Drilling has intersected wider zones and higher grades – such as 54 ounces per ton silver over 39 feet – than are currently in the reserve model and has encountered high-grade mineralization more than 1,000 feet deeper than any previous drilling; both are changing the potential size of the deposit. At Greens Creek, Hecla's exploration efforts spanning 37 years consistently yield remarkable results in both grade and width across the four key metals: silver, gold, zinc, and lead, and we still have many potential targets to drill. It’s almost as if we get a jump in reserves every few years that further extends mine life.”

Baker concluded, “With the recent acquisition of ATAC and its massive 700 square mile land package, we now have 20 district-sized properties with excellent exploration potential to explore and grow our resource base, primarily in the U.S. and Canada. Hecla produces almost half of silver in the U.S., and we expect to be Canada’s largest silver producer in 2024. With half a million ounces of silver required to produce 1 gigawatt of solar, Hecla is playing a key role in mining the silver the world needs.”

YEAR-END 2023 RESERVES AND RESOURCES

On a consolidated basis, the Company replaced 11 million ounces of silver produced during the year. At the Lucky Friday and Keno Hill, production was replaced, and additional silver reserves were defined. Greens Creek saw a drop in silver reserves of 10% due to depletion and other changes not offset by drilling additions. The Company’s proven and probable gold reserves declined 16% to 2.1 million ounces due to having successfully implemented a strategic shift at Casa Berardi transitioning the operation to an open pit only operation.

Reserve metal price assumptions for 2023 were $17/oz silver, $1,650/oz gold, $1.15/lb zinc, and $0.90/lb lead, unchanged from 2022 except for gold, which was $1600/oz in the prior year.

Measured and indicated silver ounces are unchanged with increases at Greens Creek and Keno Hill which offset the decrease at Lucky Friday due to conversion to reserves. Measured and indicated gold ounces also increased 21% to 4.4 million ounces. Losses as a result of the current plan to only mine surface material at Casa Berardi were offset by additions from the acquisition of ATAC Resources Ltd. (ATAC) at the Osiris and Tiger projects in the Yukon.

Inferred silver resources decreased less than 1% to 504 million ounces with decreases at Greens Creek and Lucky Friday almost offset by additions at Keno Hill. Inferred gold resources increased 11% to 6.3 million ounces with decreases at Casa Berardi offset by the addition of the ATAC projects in the Yukon.

Resource metal price assumptions for 2023 were $21/oz silver, $1750/oz gold, $1.35/lb zinc and $1.15/lb lead, and $3.00/lb copper, unchanged from 2022 except for gold, which was $1700/oz in the prior year.

A breakdown of the Company’s reserves and resources is set out in Table A at the end of this news release.

EXPLORATION AND PRE-DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

Keno Hill, Yukon Territory

At Keno Hill, the underground definition and surface exploration drilling programs continued to be focused on extending mineralization, resource conversion in the high-grade Bermingham Bear Zone Veins (Bear, Footwall, and Main Vein Zones), and discovering and defining new mineral resources. During the fourth quarter, two underground drills completed over 12,800 feet of definition and geotechnical drilling, and two surface core drills completed over 14,400 feet of exploration drilling targeting the Deep Bermingham, Bermingham Townsite, Inca, and Coral Wigwam target areas (Figure 1).

Bermingham underground definition and exploration drilling in the three Bear Zone veins (Bear, Footwall, Main veins) continues to extend mineralization to the northeast, southeast, and down dip outside of the current reserve shapes (Figures 2, 3 and 4). Drilling in the Bear Vein identified strong vein mineralization between the Ursa and Splay faults where testing at higher elevations had no significant mineralization; this new drilling expands higher-grade mineralization between the faults and to the southwest near the Arctic fault zone. Drilling in the Footwall Vein intersected substantially wider and higher-grade mineralization than modeled to the southwest internal to the reserve shape. Drilling in the Main Vein intercepted strong mineralization at depth and along strike significantly increasing the strike and depth of high grade in this zone. Assay highlights include (reported widths are estimates of true width):

• Bear Vein: 21.4 oz/ton silver, 2.8% lead, and 0.5% zinc over 11.7 feet
  • Includes: 129.9 oz/ton silver, 14.8% lead, and 3.1% zinc over 1.6 feet
• Bear Vein: 25.5 oz/ton silver, 3.6% lead, and 1.2% zinc over 5.0 feet
• Footwall Vein: 54.0 oz/ton silver, 4.8% lead, and 2.5% zinc over 39.5 feet
  • Includes: 77.1 oz/ton silver, 8.1% lead, and 3.2% zinc over 11.4 feet; and
  • Includes: 122.1 oz/ton silver, 8.0% lead, and 6.5% zinc over 8.9 feet
• Footwall Vein: 58.6 oz/ton silver, 3.6% lead, and 4.3% zinc over 10.1 feet
• Main Vein: 32.7 oz/ton silver, 1.7% lead, and 1.7% zinc over 15.2 feet
  • Includes: 78.9 oz/ton silver, 3.9% lead, and 2.3% zinc over 5.8 feet
• Main Vein: 32.4 oz/ton silver, 8.3% lead, and 4.1% zinc over 9.2 feet
  • Includes: 114.9 oz/ton silver, 41.5% lead, and 8.4% zinc over 1.5 feet

Initial surface exploration drilling tested for continuity of the Bermingham vein system at depth intersected strong mineralization (87.2 oz/ton silver over 0.6 feet) 1,050 feet below the existing Deep Bermingham resource. This mineralized intercept resets and expands exploration potential in the district where previously high-grade silver mineralization was thought to occur only in the upper parts of the favorable Basil Quartzite host stratigraphy.

Surface exploration drilling continued targeting the Bermingham Townsite Vein and Townsite Vein Splay system intersected strong mineralization which continues to be open for expansion at depth. Assay highlights include (reported widths are estimates of true width):

• Townsite Vein Splay: 73.5 oz/ton silver, 1.4% lead, and 0.2% zinc over 4.6 feet

Surface exploration drilling targeting the Inca Vein located east of the Hector Calumet area testing for continuity from historic drillhole intercepts intersected strong silver mineralization with significant intercepts associated indium and zinc mineralization. Limited drilling to date has outlined a mineralized zone of over 800 feet of strike length and is open for expansion to the northeast and southwest along strike and up and down dip.

• Inca Vein 2: 4.7 oz/ton silver, 0.5% lead, 2.7% zinc, and 1.6 oz/ton indium over 22.6 feet
  • Includes: 42.9 oz/ton silver, 3.6 oz/ton lead, 21.9% zinc, and 14.9 oz/ton indium over 2.1 feet
• Inca Vein 2: 5.8 oz/ton silver, 0.2% lead, 1.6% zinc, and 0.9 oz/ton indium over 7.4 feet
  • Includes: 107.3 oz/ton silver, 4.6 oz/ton lead, 15.7% zinc, and 10.5 oz/ton indium over 0.4 feet

Greens Creek, Alaska

At Greens Creek, four underground drills completed over 38,000 feet of drilling in 79 drillholes focused on resource conversion and exploration that extends mineralization of known resources. Drilling was focused in the 9a, 200 South, East, West, Gallagher, and Gallagher Fault Block zones while assay results were received from drilling in the 200 South, 5250, East, Upper Plate, West, and 9a zones (Figure 5).

Underground drilling completed 25 drillholes in the 200 South Zone targeting the upper orebody and the deeper mine contact portions of the zone covering a strike length of 1,050 feet. Unexpected zones of mineralized ore lithologies were intersected early in a few of the drillholes before the targeted contact expanding mineralization in those areas. Highlights from this drilling include:

• 17.4 oz/ton silver, 0.02 oz/ton gold, 4.1% zinc, and 3.0% lead over 21.1 feet
• 11.4 oz/ton silver, 0.06 oz/ton gold, 3.1% zinc, and 1.5% lead over 7.0 feet

Drilling in the 5250 Zone targeted 150 feet of strike length in the upper portion of the resources intersected thick sequences of white baritic and massive sulfide ore lithologies above the modeled resources expanding mineralization in that area of the zone. Highlights from this drilling include:

• 18.7 oz/ton silver, 0.05 oz/ton gold, 11.4% zinc, and 3.6% lead over 26.8 feet

Additional assay results have been received from underground drilling in the northern, central, and eastern portion of the Upper Plate zone, targeting mineralization for upgrading and expanding resources over 900 feet of strike length. Results to date indicate that drilling is upgrading and expanding mineralization in the Upper Plate Zone. Highlights from this drilling include:

• 19.6 oz/ton silver, 0.05 oz/ton gold, 10.9% zinc and 5.4% lead over 27.9 feet
• 28.3 oz/ton silver, 0.01 oz/ton gold, 2.6% zinc and 1.3% lead over 23.9 feet

Strong assay results received from underground drilling in the West Zone extend mineralization at the lower mine contact over 400 feet to the west of previous intercepts and infills a 200-foot gap in drilling in the central ore band (Figure 6). Highlights from this drilling include:

• 63.4 oz/ton silver, 0.64 oz/ton gold, 8.3% zinc, and 4.3% lead over 26.04 feet
• 28.3 oz/ton silver, 0.08 oz/ton gold, 8.3% zinc, and 4.7% lead over 12.8 feet
• 35.2 oz/ton silver, 0.08 oz/ton gold, 10.0% zinc, and 6.3% lead over 27.3 feet

Detailed complete drill assay highlights can be found in Table B at the end of the release.

Cautionary Statements to Investors on Reserves and Resources

This news release uses the terms “mineral resources”, “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources”. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. You should not assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. Further, inferred mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically, and an inferred mineral resource may not be considered when assessing the economic viability of a mining project, and may not be converted to a mineral reserve. We report reserves and resources under the SEC’s mining disclosure rules (“S-K 1300”) and Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) because we are a “reporting issuer” under Canadian securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all resource and reserve estimates contained in this press release have been prepared in accordance with S-K 1300 as well as NI 43-101.

(1)		The term “reserve” means an estimate of tonnage and grade or quality of indicated and measured mineral resources that, in the opinion of the qualified person, can be the basis of an economically viable project. More specifically, it is the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource, which includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined or extracted. The term “proven reserves” means the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource and can only result from conversion of a measured mineral resource. See footnotes 8 and 9 below.
(2)		Mineral reserves are based on $17/oz silver, $1,650/oz gold, $0.90/lb lead, $1.15/lb zinc, unless otherwise stated. All Mineral Reserves are reported in-situ with estimates of mining dilution and mining loss.
(3)		The reserve NSR cut-off values for Greens Creek are $230/ton for all zones except the Gallagher Zone at $235/ton; metallurgical recoveries (actual 2023): 80% for silver, 74% for gold, 82% for lead, and 89% for zinc.
(4)		The reserve NSR cut-off values for Lucky Friday are $241.34/ton for the 30 Vein and $268.67/ton for the Intermediate Veins; metallurgical recoveries (actual 2023): 96% for silver, 95% for lead, and 85% for zinc
(5)		The average reserve cut-off grades at Casa Berardi are 0.11 oz/ton gold underground and 0.03 oz/ton gold for open pit. Metallurgical recovery (actual 2023): 85% for gold; US$/CAN$ exchange rate: 1:1.3. Underground mineral reserves at Casa Berardi were based on a gold price of $1,850/oz.
(6)		The reserve NSR cut-off value at Keno Hill is $244.24/ton (CAN$350/tonne), Metallurgical recovery (actual 2023): 96% for silver, 93% for lead, 81% for zinc; US$/CAN$ exchange rate: 1:1.3
(7)		The term “probable reserves” means the economically mineable part of an indicated and, in some cases, a measured mineral resource. See footnotes 9 and 10 below.

Note: All estimates are in-situ except for the proven reserves at Greens Creek which are in surface stockpiles. Mineral resources are exclusive of reserves.
(8)		The term "mineral resources" means a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth's crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. A mineral resource is a reasonable estimate of mineralization, taking into account relevant factors such as cut-off grade, likely mining dimensions, location or continuity, that, with the assumed and justifiable technical and economic conditions, is likely to, in whole or in part, become economically extractable. It is not merely an inventory of all mineralization drilled or sampled.
(9)		The term "measured resources" means that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of conclusive geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty associated with a measured mineral resource is sufficient to allow a qualified person to apply modifying factors in sufficient detail to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Because a measured mineral resource has a higher level of confidence than the level of confidence of either an indicated mineral resource or an inferred mineral resource, a measured mineral resource may be converted to a proven mineral reserve or to a probable mineral reserve.
(10)		The term "indicated resources" means that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of adequate geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty associated with an indicated mineral resource is sufficient to allow a qualified person to apply modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Because an indicated mineral resource has a lower level of confidence than the level of confidence of a measured mineral resource, an indicated mineral resource may only be converted to a probable mineral reserve.
(11)		The term "inferred resources" means that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological uncertainty associated with an inferred mineral resource is too high to apply relevant technical and economic factors likely to influence the prospects of economic extraction in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability. Because an inferred mineral resource has the lowest level of geological confidence of all mineral resources, which prevents the application of the modifying factors in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability, an inferred mineral resource may not be considered when assessing the economic viability of a mining project, and may not be converted to a mineral reserve.
(12)		Mineral resources for operating properties are based on $1,750/oz gold, $21/oz silver, $1.15/lb lead, $1.35/lb zinc and $3.00/lb copper, unless otherwise stated.
