Hecla Mining outlines medium-term silver production potential above 20 million ounces
Bitget2026/11/09 18:07- Hecla Mining outlined silver output potential above 20 million ounces over the medium term at the RBC Precious Metals Conference.
- Production guidance for 2026 is 15,300,000-16,100,000 ounces; medium-term growth depends on Keno Hill's ramp-up and a Midas restart.
- Keno Hill throughput will fall to about 300 tons daily in fourth-quarter 2026, with further reductions from January 2027 pending permits and infrastructure.
- Greens Creek's proposed pyrite concentrate circuit could add 1,000,000-1,200,000 ounces of silver annually once fully ramped up.
- Intermittent production is targeted for late 2027; full capacity is expected in late 2028, subject to investment approval.
