Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements, Including 2015 Outlook
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be
covered by the safe harbor created by such sections and other applicable laws, including Canadian Securities laws. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation: (i) estimates of future production and sales,
including as a result of the #4 Shaft Project; (ii) estimates of future costs and cash cost, after by-product credits per ounce of silver/gold, including the expected cost of the #4 Shaft project; (iii) guidance for 2015 for silver and gold
production, silver equivalent production, cash cost, after by-product credits, capital expenditures and pre-development and exploration expenditures (which assumes metal prices of gold at $1,225/oz., silver at $17.25/oz., zinc at
$0.90/lb. and lead at $0.95/lb. and US dollar/Canadian dollar at $0.91); (iv) expectations regarding the development, growth and exploration potential of the Company’s projects; (v) expectations of growth; (vi) the Company’s mineral
reserves and resources;(vii) possible strike extensions of veins, new resources at the North and East Francine Veins, and discovery of new veins at the San Sebastian project, and expectations for completion of the PEA; (viii)
estimates or expectations of future events or results are based upon certain assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect; and (ix) expectations for 2015 capital and exploration expenses to be fully funded by adjusted EBITDA. Such
assumptions, include, but are not limited to: (i) there being no significant change to current geotechnical, metallurgical, hydrological and other physical conditions; (ii) permitting, development, operations and expansion of the
Company’s projects being consistent with current expectations and mine plans; (iii) political/regulatory developments in any jurisdiction in which the Company operates being consistent with its current expectations; (iv) the exchange
rate for the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar, being approximately consistent with current levels; (v) certain price assumptions for gold, silver, lead and zinc; (vi) prices for key supplies being approximately consistent with current
levels; (vii) the accuracy of our current mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates; and (viii) the Company’s plans for development and production will proceed as expected and will not require revision as a result of risks or
uncertainties, whether known, unknown or unanticipated. Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a
reasonable basis. However, such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by the “forward-looking
statements.” Such risks include, but are not limited to gold, silver and other metals price volatility, operating risks, currency fluctuations, increased production costs and variances in ore grade or recovery rates from those assumed in
mining plans, community relations, conflict resolution and outcome of projects or oppositions, litigation, political, regulatory, labor and environmental risks, and exploration risks and results, including that mineral resources are not
mineral reserves, they do not have demonstrated economic viability and there is no certainty that they can be upgraded to mineral reserves through continued exploration. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors,
see the Company’s 2014 Form 10-K, filed on February 18, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as the Company’s other SEC filings. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly
revisions to any “forward-looking statement,” including, without limitation, outlook, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required
under applicable securities laws. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued “forward-looking statement” constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement. Continued reliance on “forward-loo king statements”
is at investors’ own risk.
Cautionary Note Regarding Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. We use
certain terms in this presentation, such as “resource,” “measured resources,” “indicated resources,” and “inferred resources” that are recognized by Canadian regulations, but that SEC guidelines generally prohibit U.S. registered
companies from including in their filings with the SEC, except in certain circumstances. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. You can review and obtain copies of
these filings from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Qualified Person (QP) Pursuant to Canadian National Instrument 43-101
Dean McDonald, PhD. P.Geo., Senior Vice President - Exploration of Hecla Mining Company, who serves as a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101("NI 43-101"), supervised the preparation of the scientific and technical
information concerning Hecla’s mineral projects in this presentation. Information regarding data verification, surveys and investigations, quality assurance program and quality control measures and a summary of analytical or testing
procedures for the Greens Creek Mine are contained in a technical report titled “Technical Report for the Greens Creek Mine” effective date March 28, 2013, and for the Lucky Friday Mine are contained in a technical report titled
“Technical Report for the Lucky Friday Mine Shoshone County, Idaho, USA” effective date April 2, 2014, and for Casa Berardi are contained in a technical report titled "Technical Report on the mineral resource and mineral reserve
estimate for Casa Berardi Mine, Northwestern Quebec, Canada" effective date March 31, 2014 (the "Casa Berardi Technical Report"). Also included in these three technical reports is a description of the key assumptions, parameters
and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and resources and a general discussion of the extent to which the estimates may be affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing or
other relevant factors. Copies of these technical reports are available under Hecla's and Aurizon's profiles on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Casa Berardi Technical Report was reviewed by Dr. McDonald on behalf of Hecla. To the
best of Hecla's knowledge, information and belief, there is no new material scientific or technical information that would make the disclosure of the mineral resources and mineral reserves for Casa Berardi in this document inaccurate
or misleading.
Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP measures
Cash cost per ounce of silver and gold, net of by-product credits and adjusted EBITDA represent non-U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) measurement. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to
GAAP measures can be found in the Appendix.

Hecla Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
This presentation refers to a non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which is a measure of our operating
performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before the following items: interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense,
exploration expense, predevelopment expense, Aurizon acquisition costs, Lucky Friday suspension-related income, interest and other income (expense), foreign exchange gains and
losses, gains and losses on derivative contracts, and provisional price gains and losses. Management believes that, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures,
Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance. The table above reconciles net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP measurement, to Adjusted
EBITDA.

  • 1. U N D E R V A L U E DF I N A N C I A L S T R E N G T HU P S I D E P O T E N T I A LQ U A L I T Y A S S E T S Company Update March 2015
  • 2. H E C L A M I N I N G C O M P A N Y 2 Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements, Including 2015 Outlook This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections and other applicable laws, including Canadian Securities laws. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation: (i) estimates of future production and sales, including as a result of the #4 Shaft Project; (ii) estimates of future costs and cash cost, after by-product credits per ounce of silver/gold, including the expected cost of the #4 Shaft project; (iii) guidance for 2015 for silver and gold production, silver equivalent production, cash cost, after by-product credits, capital expenditures and pre-development and exploration expenditures (which assumes metal prices of gold at $1,225/oz., silver at $17.25/oz., zinc at $0.90/lb. and lead at $0.95/lb. and US dollar/Canadian dollar at $0.91); (iv) expectations regarding the development, growth and exploration potential of the Company’s projects; (v) expectations of growth; (vi) the Company’s mineral reserves and resources;(vii) possible strike extensions of veins, new resources at the North and East Francine Veins, and discovery of new veins at the San Sebastian project, and expectations for completion of the PEA; (viii) estimates or expectations of future events or results are based upon certain assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect; and (ix) expectations for 2015 capital and exploration expenses to be fully funded by adjusted EBITDA. Such assumptions, include, but are not limited to: (i) there being no significant change to current geotechnical, metallurgical, hydrological and other physical conditions; (ii) permitting, development, operations and expansion of the Company’s projects being consistent with current expectations and mine plans; (iii) political/regulatory developments in any jurisdiction in which the Company operates being consistent with its current expectations; (iv) the exchange rate for the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar, being approximately consistent with current levels; (v) certain price assumptions for gold, silver, lead and zinc; (vi) prices for key supplies being approximately consistent with current levels; (vii) the accuracy of our current mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates; and (viii) the Company’s plans for development and production will proceed as expected and will not require revision as a result of risks or uncertainties, whether known, unknown or unanticipated. Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by the “forward-looking statements.” Such risks include, but are not limited to gold, silver and other metals price volatility, operating risks, currency fluctuations, increased production costs and variances in ore grade or recovery rates from those assumed in mining plans, community relations, conflict resolution and outcome of projects or oppositions, litigation, political, regulatory, labor and environmental risks, and exploration risks and results, including that mineral resources are not mineral reserves, they do not have demonstrated economic viability and there is no certainty that they can be upgraded to mineral reserves through continued exploration. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see the Company’s 2014 Form 10-K, filed on February 18, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as the Company’s other SEC filings. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly revisions to any “forward-looking statement,” including, without limitation, outlook, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued “forward-looking statement” constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement. Continued reliance on “forward-loo king statements” is at investors’ own risk. Cautionary Note Regarding Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. We use certain terms in this presentation, such as “resource,” “measured resources,” “indicated resources,” and “inferred resources” that are recognized by Canadian regulations, but that SEC guidelines generally prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC, except in certain circumstances. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. You can review and obtain copies of these filings from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Qualified Person (QP) Pursuant to Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Dean McDonald, PhD. P.Geo., Senior Vice President - Exploration of Hecla Mining Company, who serves as a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101("NI 43-101"), supervised the preparation of the scientific and technical information concerning Hecla’s mineral projects in this presentation. Information regarding data verification, surveys and investigations, quality assurance program and quality control measures and a summary of analytical or testing procedures for the Greens Creek Mine are contained in a technical report titled “Technical Report for the Greens Creek Mine” effective date March 28, 2013, and for the Lucky Friday Mine are contained in a technical report titled “Technical Report for the Lucky Friday Mine Shoshone County, Idaho, USA” effective date April 2, 2014, and for Casa Berardi are contained in a technical report titled "Technical Report on the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimate for Casa Berardi Mine, Northwestern Quebec, Canada" effective date March 31, 2014 (the "Casa Berardi Technical Report"). Also included in these three technical reports is a description of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and resources and a general discussion of the extent to which the estimates may be affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other relevant factors. Copies of these technical reports are available under Hecla's and Aurizon's profiles on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Casa Berardi Technical Report was reviewed by Dr. McDonald on behalf of Hecla. To the best of Hecla's knowledge, information and belief, there is no new material scientific or technical information that would make the disclosure of the mineral resources and mineral reserves for Casa Berardi in this document inaccurate or misleading. Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP measures Cash cost per ounce of silver and gold, net of by-product credits and adjusted EBITDA represent non-U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) measurement. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures can be found in the Appendix. Cautionary Statements
