Financial Summary
Hecla is engaged in the mining and processing of silver, gold, and other precious metals in the U.S., Venezuela, and Mexico. For the six months ended 6/30/01, revenues rose 6% to $41.0 million. Net loss applicable to Common from continuing operations before extraordinary items fell 69% to $8.9 million. Results reflect increased gold production at La Camorra, lower costs of production, and the absence of $9.1 million in charges related to the reduction in the carrying value of mining properties.
